Chapter 9 Heavenly Dream...?
After cleaning, Huo Yuhao endured his hunger to collect the one gold soul coin subsidy that the school gave him each month. He bought the cheapest set of tableware before rushing to the cafeteria.
Looking at the dazzling array of dishes in the cafeteria, each with its own unique characteristics, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but swallow hard. Especially the most expensive dishes, all of which were made with top-quality ingredients. If Huo Yuhao had eaten these things since he was a child, how could his innate soul power have been only level one? With the potential of his Spirit Eye, it would easily be level eight or nine.
Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao squeezed the gold soul coin in his pocket, which he hadn't even warmed up yet. He realized that he could only start earning money tomorrow afternoon, and until then, he only had this one gold soul coin and some spare change to use. So, he could only look at the window on the right. There was a dish there made from the ingredients of a ten-year-old soul beast known for its strength. Eating it would strengthen the body and promote the cultivation of soul power.
The price was only two silver soul coins because of the school's subsidy for ordinary students. Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth and spent one-fifth of his money to solve the lunch problem.
Now is not the time to save money. It will be a real disaster if you run out of energy and can't finish the laps on time!
Huo Yuhao kept reassuring himself that perhaps it was because he had absorbed Huo Gua's memories that Huo Yuhao seemed so reluctant to spend money. He didn't have this problem before he transmigrated.
After a painful yet enjoyable lunch, Huo Yuhao ran back to his dormitory to continue his cultivation. He had temporarily given up practicing Crane Control and Dragon Raising, Ghost Shadow Step, and Xuan Jade Hand, focusing all his efforts on cultivating his soul power, striving to convert all the soul power in his body into Xuan Tian Gong internal energy before class.
"Hmm, this cultivation technique is really good, quite suitable for your current situation. You humans are really capable!" Huo Yuhao had just entered a meditative state when suddenly, everything before his eyes turned white, and the childish voice of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm rang out. He was once again transported to his spiritual sea.
"Brother Tianmeng?" Huo Yuhao addressed Tianmeng Ice Silkworm according to the original work. In his previous life, he could call his roommate "godfather" when he helped bring him food. What's wrong with calling him "brother" now that he has a million-year soul ring and a second martial soul?
"What did you call me?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was taken aback, wondering if Huo Yuhao's brain had been damaged when he was fighting with that big gray bead for territory.
With a swift movement, the chubby face of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm revealed a look of surprise and doubt as it carefully observed Huo Yuhao's consciousness projection.
There weren't any problems, were there?
"Call me Sister Tianmeng!" After confirming that Huo Yuhao's consciousness was not in any way wrong, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm resumed her lazy state.
"Tianmeng... Sister?" Huo Yuhao subconsciously called out, following Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's words.
_?

and many more!
Am I acting strangely, or has the world gone mad?
Ignoring Huo Yuhao's astonishment, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm continued lazily, its voice ringing out.
"Your physical condition has improved a lot these past few days, finally a good start. Your physical endurance is also gradually increasing. Not bad, not bad. The abilities you've been practicing are quite suitable for you. Especially this meditation technique and that eye exercise method."
"You've felt the effects of the four skills I gave you, right? Practice them often, especially the last one. Combining it with your eye-training method should be quite effective, giving you a basic attack soul skill. It's even better than I expected."
"Tianmeng... Sister, I will definitely work hard in my cultivation."
Although he couldn't quite understand what went wrong, Huo Yuhao, with his extensive reading experience, quickly accepted the premise... what a load of rubbish!
Which third-rate author is stirring up trouble here?! Even though I read some Douluo Continent II fanfiction before Huo Yuhao transmigrated, and even saw Huo Yuhao transform into Huo Yutong, I've never seen a story where Tianmeng Ice Silkworm becomes a female.
Forget it... the gender of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm doesn't matter, as long as Huo's cheat code is still there...
Huo Yuhao was also wondering to himself just how far this world had been modified.
Is it possible that Wang Dong will turn into a man?
It shouldn't be that bad... right? After all, she has the Goddess of Light Butterfly martial soul!
Unaware of Huo Yuhao's inner thoughts, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm yawned again: "I'm sleepy and need to sleep for a while. Just continue cultivating on your current path. I will naturally wake up when you break through to the point where you need your second spirit ring. By then, the ice-attribute martial soul I bestowed upon you should also be able to have a main martial soul. This will cause you to experience a qualitative leap."
Huo Yuhao said, "Okay, I understand. By the way, Tianmeng... Sister, I might need your help with something these next few days."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm yawned and said, "If you encounter any insurmountable danger, I will naturally help you, don't worry. My life depends on your survival! Going to sleep..."
"But... although I don't feel that it's very dangerous, it also seems to involve something terrifying, maybe related to God."
"What did you say!" Tianmeng, who was originally drowsy, suddenly shuddered. In an instant, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm felt that there was something wrong with her hearing.
Why would he sacrifice his own cultivation to transform himself into a spirit ring? Was it for charity?
How could that be! Why should she let someone else benefit from the millions of years of cultivation she painstakingly accumulated?
They were hoping to gather the power of all the soul beasts to push a soul master to the throne of godhood, and then, with one person attaining enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs would ascend to heaven, becoming soul beasts themselves and ascending to the realm of gods.
And you're telling me that the clues to the final plot have already appeared before we even left the starting village?
"I'm not really sure either, it's just a vague feeling. I had this feeling once before. I was ready to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for spirit rings, but I inexplicably felt that it wasn't the right time yet, so I prepared some useless things and wasted two days."
"As it turned out, Tianmeng... Sister, you saw it too. If you were waiting for an opportunity, a day or two wouldn't make much of a difference. But a spot at Shrek Academy is such a precious thing. With my current qualifications, I absolutely couldn't get it. But I just happened to meet Teacher Xiaoya and the others, and that's how I got into Shrek Academy."
"So I've always taken this vague feeling very seriously, and this time the feeling is much more intense than the last one. It gives me a... very bad feeling. If the last time I had this feeling, it included your influence, Sister Tianmeng. Then there is someone stronger than you, Sister Tianmeng... even if it's not related to God, it's at least something that will have a great impact on my future that is about to happen."
Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm looked at Huo Yuhao with some surprise: "What is this? Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune? Or predicting the future?... Never mind, I'm not very clear about matters of fate, and I can't study them even if I wanted to. At worst, I'll just sleep a little less these few days. Call me if you need anything. I'm going to sleep now."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm didn't care whether Huo Yuhao was telling the truth or not. Now the two of them were in the same boat. Besides, from the memories she had reviewed, Huo Yuhao was also a sentimental person. His only dark side was hatred. Unfounded suspicion would only create distance between them. It would be better to sleep than to doubt...
When Huo Yuhao opened his eyes again, six hours had passed. The cafeteria was probably already closed. Huo Yuhao ate some dry food to fill his stomach and then got up to leave the dormitory.
Shrek Square wasn't lively at night. Under the illumination of the soul-guiding lamps, groups of students strolled around, among them some older couples. However, none of this concerned Huo Yuhao. After a quick warm-up, Huo Yuhao slowly began to run around Shrek Square.
One lap, two laps... ten laps, twenty laps...
Just as Huo Yuhao was focused on controlling his pace as he ran, a pair of girls walked over side by side.
"Ning Tian, look! There's some idiot running laps over there at night!" One of the girls with short red hair noticed Huo Yuhao running.
"Wu Feng, don't be rude!" Ning Tian frowned slightly, seemingly displeased with Wu Feng's unrestrained speech.
"I know," Wu Feng said with an obedient expression, but quickly reverted to his true colors: "Is he also a student of Shrek Academy? He runs so slowly. I could run faster than him when I first awakened my martial soul..."
Half an hour passed, and Huo Yuhao even sped up for a short period of time, but he still barely managed to complete thirty laps. Feeling his sore muscles, Huo Yuhao sighed helplessly. This speed was far from meeting the passing standard of one hundred laps in two hours.
Shaking his head, Huo Yuhao walked heavily toward the school gate. The gate of Shrek Academy was the east gate of Shrek City. There were always many vendors outside the east gate, which would also be where Huo Yuhao would sell grilled fish in the afternoons.
Even though it was almost nine o'clock at night, the place was still brightly lit, and the sounds of vendors hawking their wares filled the air. Huo Yuhao looked around for a while and finally found a relatively affordable (crossed out) cheap restaurant to solve his dinner problem.
After finishing dinner, Huo Yuhao naturally returned to his dormitory to continue his cultivation. After a simple stretch to relieve the soreness from running, he continued to immerse himself in the cultivation of the Xuan Tian Gong.
Time passed by unnoticed. Just as the first hint of dawn appeared on the horizon, Huo Yuhao had just completed one cycle of cultivation. He stopped practicing the Profound Heaven Skill and immediately sat down by the window to begin cultivating the Purple Demon Eye.
After that, I ran around Shrek Square for about an hour, stopping by the cafeteria for breakfast. This was just my daily morning routine.
After chatting briefly with Bei Bei during breakfast, Huo Yuhao looked towards the dormitory with a heavy heart.
"Sister Tianmeng, are you there? My strange feeling is getting stronger and stronger. Perhaps what I'm sensing is about to happen in the near future."
"I'm here," Tianmeng Bingcan's lazy voice echoed in Huo Yuhao's mind, sounding as if she hadn't woken up yet. "But what do you need me to do to deal with your so-called feelings?"
"The main task is to help me monitor my mental state and physical condition, and if you have extra energy, also keep an eye on the surrounding area."
"Okay, then you can leave it to me without worry."
After receiving Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's assurance, Huo Yuhao sorted out his thoughts.
It is impossible to accurately judge Tang San's control over Douluo Continent based solely on the original plot.
Huo Yuhao didn't know whether it was a coincidence or Tang San's premeditated plan that Bei Bei and Tang Ya were able to encounter him in the Star Dou Great Forest.
If Tang San's control over Douluo Continent is stronger than expected, then trying to escape Tang San's control by fleeing his sight would be utterly suicidal.
Especially if they run to the Sun and Moon Palace, it would be fine if Tang San couldn't see them, but if he could...
At that point, Tang San could simply send members of the Clear Sky Sect to forcibly break into the Mingde Hall, just like the Body Sect did, and he could then easily defeat them.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao chose the path that would allow him to live the longest, choosing to come to Shrek Academy. Even if things went badly, following the original story would still grant him a miserable but immortal life, and he would also have a beautiful wife. In any case, it was better than being treated like a beast of burden in his previous life, wasn't it?
Learn to know when to stop while you're ahead.
What happens next will determine whether Huo Yuhao still needs to try to escape Tang San's control.
Huo Yuhao can only rely on Tianmeng now. If Tianmeng can't handle it, then let Tianmeng share some of its essence with Electrolux to help Electrolux recover.
If even the awakened Electrolux can't be dealt with, Huo Yuhao can choose to give up. He's not dead yet, and before transmigrating he was just a minor Karami, he can't be stronger than Electrolux, right?
However, if Tang San's abilities are limited, he can adjust his future plans as needed and gradually try to break free from Tang San's control.
What kind of future it will lead to depends entirely on their first formal encounter with Tang San.
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and walked towards the dormitory.
Let me see just how good Tang Shenwang really is...
