Hearing Bingdi's slightly giddy laughter echoing through the vast, snow-filled expanse of the Extreme North, even Xuedi, who was always cool and composed, couldn't help but look at her speechlessly. She then shook her head, a look of helplessness on her face.
"Can't you be a little more composed, Bingdi? Didn't you see what Huo Yuhao wrote in his diary? He's planning to bring Gu Yue Na with him to the Extreme North. Do you really think we'll have a chance to keep him here with the Silver Dragon King, the Soul Beast Overlord, accompanying him?"
"Even if Gu Yue Na hasn't fully recovered from her injuries, she's definitely not someone we can afford to provoke! Otherwise, would the ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest willingly accept a Soul Beast Overlord whose strength isn't even as great as theirs, the Silver Dragon King?"
Xuedi's words shattered Bingdi's dream, instantly extinguishing her joy and replacing it with uncontrollable anger.
"Why? Why does she get to go find Huo Yuhao and get rewards from the diary copy? Why can't we keep Huo Yuhao in the Extreme North?"
Xuedi truly didn't know what to do with Bingdi. She gently rubbed her temples, her voice filled with helplessness.
"If we were to also take human form and go to the Sun Moon Empire to find Huo Yuhao, then Gu Yue Na wouldn't have any objections, but if we want to keep Huo Yuhao in the Extreme North, she absolutely won't allow it!"
"As the Soul Beast Overlord, Gu Yue Na clearly hopes that Huo Yuhao's idea can be realized, rather than having him confined to the Star Dou Great Forest or our Extreme North!"
Bingdi's face fell, and she asked, looking bewildered.
"What should we do then? Am I really only going to be Huo Yuhao's Soul Spirit?"
Xuedi's eyes flickered. After a moment of contemplation, she looked at Bingdi and said slowly,
"If you don't want to be his Soul Spirit, then let me. Afterwards, you can choose to take human form, or I can mention you to him often, and get Huo Yuhao to write your name in his diary as much as possible."
Upon hearing this, Bingdi's breath hitched. Her face was immediately filled with disbelief.
For a moment, Bingdi couldn't tell whether Xuedi was thinking of her, or if she was trying to compete with her for the chance to become Huo Yuhao's Soul Spirit!
"Sss! You're not kidding me, Yuhao? You're already at level twenty?"
In the laboratory, Xiao Hongchen stared at Huo Yuhao in disbelief, unable to believe that he had already reached level twenty.
In response to his question, Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded.
"It's true. But I still need to thank you and Dean Jing Hongchen. If it weren't for the Elixir you gave me, I wouldn't have reached level twenty so quickly."
Xiao Hongchen watched Huo Yuhao with amazement, waving his hands dismissively.
"If you really consider me a friend, don't mention it! But Yuhao, it seems you really are a genius who was almost buried by those idiots from the White Tiger Duke's Manor!"
"Come on, let's go, let's not waste any time. I'll take you to hunt for a Soul Ring now, and make you a true Soul Grand Master!"
After saying that, Xiao Hongchen immediately abandoned the Soul Tool he was working on and prepared to take Huo Yuhao to find a suitable Soul Beast.
However, just as the two of them walked out of the laboratory door, Meng Hongchen, whose face was flushed from running, blocked their path and chided them.
"Xiao! Yuhao! Where are you two going? Don't always stay cooped up in the laboratory. You should come out and take a break, you know? It's easy to get frustrated always staying in the lab, and that kind of mood isn't good for making Soul Tools!"
Huo Yuhao, who sensed Meng Hongchen's true intentions, didn't say anything. But Xiao Hongchen, who was clueless, perked up at these words.
"You've come at the perfect time! Meng, you absolutely won't believe it, Yuhao is already at rank twenty! I was just about to take him to find a suitable Soul Ring. Do you want to come with us?"
Meng Hongchen pretended to be incredibly shocked, staring at Huo Yuhao with wide eyes, but in reality, her eyes were filled with pride.
"Yuhao, you're really at rank twenty? And you're planning to go hunt for a Soul Ring now?"
Huo Yuhao was a little speechless at Meng Hongchen's acting, but he still nodded.
"Yes, Senior Meng, do you want to come along?"
Meng Hongchen didn't hesitate at all when she heard this, even grabbing Huo Yuhao's arm directly, her face flushed with excitement.
"Let's go now! After all, no one knows how long it will take to encounter a Soul Beast that suits you. The sooner we leave, the better!"
After saying that, she didn't give Huo Yuhao a chance to refuse, pulling him towards the academy gates, leaving a bewildered Xiao Hongchen standing in place, unsure of what to do.
Xiao Hongchen watched Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen's retreating figures, blinked, and asked, somewhat confused.
"Is there something between Meng and Yuhao that I don't know about? Ah, never mind. Let's go out first! This time, I must let Yuhao see just how powerful Soul Tools really are!"
Meng Hongchen's haste in pulling Huo Yuhao away, of course, had its reasons.
Not long after the three of them left, one by one, the other girls arrived at the laboratory. Looking at the tightly shut door, they instantly realized they were too late.
"Damn it! That Meng Hongchen, how could she be so fast? Is she really determined to monopolize Huo Yuhao today? It's just going to hunt for Soul Rings! There's no reason we couldn't have gone along!"
Xu Tianzhen was furious. It was only because she had been taught a lesson by Meng Hongchen earlier that she restrained herself; otherwise, the little witch would likely already be plotting revenge.
Gu Yue Na, though displeased with Meng Hongchen's actions, remembered Huo Yuhao's words from his diary, saying he wanted her to accompany him on the upcoming trip to the Extreme North. She decided not to dwell on today's losses. After a quick scan of the surroundings, she said calmly,
"Since we've missed our chance, let's go back. If you all swarm around Huo Yuhao now, he'll sense something is wrong. You all know how sensitive he is."
The women all desperately wanted to find Huo Yuhao, but they had to admit that Gu Yue Na's words were quite reasonable. Helplessly, they could only return to their own places.
However, the name Meng Hongchen would pop up from time to time on the diary copies in their minds, which made them even more envious of her.
The first person to experience Huo Yuhao's kindness ultimately brought Meng Hongchen a huge advantage!
However, not long after, the content that suddenly appeared on the diary copies made their expressions change, their hearts filled with schadenfreude.
[OMG! How did Meng Hongchen's Martial Soul suddenly reach the Extreme Ice level? Am I dreaming?!]
Huo Yuhao was feigning shock and confusion, but as her older brother, Xiao Hongchen was truly starting to doubt life!
Watching Meng Hongchen's eyes suddenly turn red after using her Martial Soul, Xiao Hongchen's voice couldn't help but become sharp, and he couldn't help but shout loudly.
"Meng! What's going on? Why did your Martial Soul suddenly advance to the Extreme Ice level? What did you do? Am I not dreaming?!"
