The next morning.
Having gotten used to waking up early, Huo Yuhao stared blankly at his hands. The pillow beside him was already empty, leaving only a faint fragrance and a few strands of blue and gold hair.
Huo Yuhao gave a wry smile. Is this what paying rent means?
He had just woken up this morning and discovered he had reached level 38.
That's right, after sleeping with Long Qiu'er, he leveled up again.
However, considering that everyone in the Star Dou Great Forest has had their cultivation levels improved because of the auspicious beasts, with hundred-year-old soul beasts directly leaping to thousand-year-old ones, it's not too outrageous on our side.
Although I know I shouldn't be thinking like this, what if I had really let my guard down last night?
Huo Yuhao quickly shook his head; he was already quite satisfied with his leveling speed—38 at the age of 11.
Level 38 is already fast enough, not to mention that his true combat strength is not just the level 38 he appears to be.
Suppressing his inner desires, Huo Yuhao quickly got up to wash and then pushed open the door to his bedroom and headed to the dining room.
My mom always gets up early, and she's already in the kitchen preparing breakfast.
Long Qiu'er had already changed her clothes and was waiting in the restaurant.
Good morning, Miss Qiu'er.
Long Qiu'er also nodded slightly to Huo Yuhao, her expression as usual, "Good morning."
But Huo Yuhao felt that Long Qiu'er's voice was a little gentler than usual.
Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao also got up and came to the restaurant one after the other.
This breakfast was much more peaceful; at least Huo Yuhao wasn't stepped on like he was last night.
As the local bigwig, Huo Yuhao naturally took on the role of guide, leading the three girls around Xingluo City.
Walking on the wide avenue, looking at the dazzling array of shops and bustling crowds, Ma Xiaotao exclaimed, "Apart from this inexplicable city wall, I must say, Xingluo City's urban planning is quite reasonable."
Zhang Lexuan shrugged. "It's not just urban planning; the Star Luo Empire also has the fewest inspection missions."
"Speaking of which, Dai Yueheng should be at the Star Luo National Academy right now, right? With his abilities, it shouldn't be difficult for him to get a captain's position."
The conversation was sporadic, mostly consisting of Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao talking, while Long Qiu'er and Huo Yuhao listened, occasionally chiming in with a few words.
Huo Yuhao just couldn't understand why girls would wander into clothing stores while shopping—
Even the usually aloof Long Qiu'er showed great interest while trying on clothes, and even intimately pulled Ma Xiaotao and Zhang Lexuan to change together.
That's why they say the most tiring thing in the world is shopping with a girl!
After accompanying them to two clothing stores, the first thing Huo Yuhao did upon entering was to find a place to sit, watching them change clothes with a deadpan expression.
They also picked out a few outfits for Huo Yuhao. But Huo Yuhao really wasn't interested in buying clothes; Huo Yun'er usually bought them for him, and he wore whatever she bought. It's probably true that men of any age are the same in this regard.
After returning home in the evening, they didn't cultivate. Instead, they bought groceries and cooked together. Of course, Huo Yuhao and Huo Yun'er were the main chefs, while the others helped out.
You can't buy clothes every day, so the next day you can stroll around the surrounding attractions or go boating on Xingdou Lake.
Soon, a month was about to pass, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed these completely relaxed days.
Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao, in particular, have devoted almost all their time to meditation since they began cultivating. This wonderful feeling of complete relaxation is something they are experiencing for the first time.
Zhang Lexuan, in particular, felt that she had probably laughed more times in the past month than in all the time she had spent cultivating since she began.
Zhang Lexuan made up her mind that she would go back and suggest to the college leadership that the students' holiday be extended.
However, the two of them couldn't stay at Huo Yuhao's house forever, and were soon recalled to the academy by the higher-ups.
After Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao left Xingluo City, Huo Yuhao and Long Qiu, who finally had some time alone together, were hardly in the mood for enjoying their time together. After all, they were Soul Masters, and cultivating to gain power was their primary concern.
For Huo Yuhao now, his level is not important; what he wants more is to improve his swordsmanship through sparring with Long Qiu'er.
As a quasi-divine artifact, the Elucidator was undoubtedly of extremely high quality. However, Huo Yuhao, who used it, had absolutely no experience in sword fighting. Therefore, in Long Qiuji's eyes, Huo Yuhao was just like someone waving around a fire poker.
As for how to improve swordsmanship, it's very simple: fight.
After the two entered the cultivation secret realm in the backyard of the Huo family, Long Qiu'er, holding the Golden Dragon Spear, and Huo Yuhao, holding the Elucidator, stood ready.
Neither of them used their martial spirits; it was purely a combat practice.
At the same time, they charged forward, their black sword light colliding with the golden spear tip. Long Qiu'er and Huo Yuhao's movement speed increased rapidly, so fast that only their afterimages could be seen.
Gold and black clashed incessantly, and shockwaves like ripples ravaged the ground.
The more they fought, the more Long Qiu'er realized how terrifying Huo Yuhao's talent was.
Needless to say, Long Qiu'er has learned a lot of combat techniques and experience from the ferocious beasts all day long. Guns are also relatively easy weapons to learn. In addition, with the spiritual power of the Spirit Realm, she is now at least at the Gun Soul Realm.
However, it is truly commendable that Huo Yuhao, a beginner who has only been sparring and learning for half a month, can hold his own against her and withstand most of her attacks.
Huo Yuhao didn't intend to become a swordsman; he just felt it would be a waste not to use a quasi-divine weapon, so he started practicing swordsmanship. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be quite talented.
Finally, Huo Yuhao saw an extremely rare opportunity. The Explainer slashed down, striking the very center of the golden dragon spear in Long Qiu'er's hand.
In a typical life-or-death struggle, Huo Yuhao would have used his free left hand to grab the opponent.
Long Qiu'er clearly wouldn't give him that chance. She braced her hands on the gun barrel and pushed hard. With a bang, the two seemed to be shaken apart by the impact, and the distance between them increased.
"Not bad, your swordsmanship is at least at the beginner level now."
Huo Yuhao rested his hands on his knees, bent over and panted heavily. Compared to the effortless Long Qiu'er, he was much more tired.
Recalling the exchange just now, Huo Yuhao shook his head, "It's still not enough. I made too many unnecessary movements just now."
Sheathed the Golden Dragon Spear, Long Qiu'er walked up to Huo Yuhao and helped him up. "There's no need to rush this, just take your time. Actually, you seem to prefer using your fists to a sword."
Huo Yuhao put the Explainer back into its scabbard.
"---Indeed, but how should I put it when it comes to combat? In the end, it's just about who wants to survive. They use whatever they have on hand, so having a weapon they know how to use is naturally a good thing."
"Speaking of which—" Huo Yuhao suddenly thought of something, "Are there any sword masters among the ferocious beasts?"
Long Qiu'er tilted her head. "The greatest weapon of soul beasts is their strong bodies. Generally speaking, only ferocious beasts that can transform into human form use weapons or anything like that."
"Among the soul beasts I know, only Di Tian and Xue Di are skilled with swords. As for Xiong Jun or Chi Wang, they are not good at swords." At this point, Long Qiu'er's face stiffened, and she did not continue.
Most ferocious beasts are just monstrous in terms of strength and ability to throw bricks; few of them bother to study soul skills—especially Bear King, that guy relies purely on brute force, he doesn't have any techniques whatsoever.
Huo Yuhao pondered, "The Snow Empress, huh—"
He had heard that the leader of the three great kings of the far north was a beast king who was said to be much stronger than the Ice Emperor that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had reserved for him.
"I'm telling you, you're not thinking of setting your sights on the Snow Emperor, are you? I advise you to abandon this unrealistic plan."
Tianmeng's voice echoed within Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, "The Snow Empress has an even bigger temper than the Ice Empress. She is the true ruler of the far north, so it's simply impossible for her to fall in love with you."
"—Tianmeng-ge, what nonsense are you spouting!" Huo Yuhao was speechless. "What I meant was, if we want to spread soul spirits in the far north, we definitely need to get the approval of this far north ruler."
Tianmeng swayed her chubby body. "You're overthinking it, kid. The Snow Empress is even more hostile to humans than the Ice Empress. You'd probably be smashed into ice the moment you saw her. But I reckon her situation is similar to the Ice Empress's; she's nearing her end, or even in greater danger than the Ice Empress."
"As for making her your spirit—that's just wishful thinking, it's not very realistic."
