Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao, but possesses the power of the Rakshasa God.

"Sure enough, the speed has slowed down."

Inside the dormitory, Huo Yuhao opened his eyes, and the faint blue light in his eyes gradually dissipated.

"After absorbing the Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, my cultivation speed did indeed decrease."

"Level 25." Huo Yuhao clenched his fist and sighed.

After absorbing the Ice Emperor's soul ring and soul bone, his soul power directly broke through to level 23.

Now, within two months, he has even advanced two levels using the Millennium Profound Ice Marrow.

However, now that the Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow has been completely consumed, his improvement speed has slowed down considerably.

"I still need to find a way to obtain some cultivation resources, otherwise the cultivation speed is too slow!" Huo Yuhao shook his head and muttered to himself, but still sat cross-legged and began to meditate.

Suddenly, with a loud bang!

The door was pushed open forcefully, followed by an excited voice!

"Yuhao! I'm back!"

Without even looking up, I knew it was Wang Dong who had come to the dormitory.

"Sigh~ He's cultivating again!" As soon as Wang Dong entered the room, he saw Huo Yuhao still sitting cross-legged on the bed. He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. Then he took two steps forward and carefully approached Huo Yuhao to observe him.

"This look is so familiar, I've seen it more often than the normal look!"

Wang Dong muttered to himself.

"If this guy doesn't wake up, then I..."

What are you planning to do?

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao finally couldn't help but open his eyes!

The moment he opened his eyes, he was met with Wang Dong's slap in the face!

"Wow! You're awake!" Wang Dong was startled and quickly backed away, looking at Huo Yuhao with flushed cheeks and eyes that seemed to be brimming with tears.

"How could I not wake up when you opened the door so loudly?" Huo Yuhao pointed to the dormitory door and said helplessly.

At this moment, Wang Dong noticed that the dormitory door was not closed. He quickly went over and closed it, then put his hands on his hips and pointed at Huo Yuhao, saying, "Why didn't you open your eyes when you were awake!"

Huo Yuhao shrugged helplessly: "I'm tired. Can't I close my eyes and rest for a while?"

"You—" Wang Dong's cheeks puffed up with anger, but he couldn't say anything to him yet, so he had to change the subject: "Last year you ran off without a word, without even telling me or Xiao Xiao. Do you know how worried we were about you!"

Huo Yuhao felt a warmth in his heart, but he still shrugged and said, "I spent almost a month just applying for leave, you should know that, right?"

"I don't care!" Wang Dong raised his head, refusing to look at Huo Yuhao, a sly glint in his eyes. "You have to make up for the worry Xiao Xiao and I were going through!"

Huo Yuhao immediately understood, a slight smile appearing on his lips, but he still shrugged helplessly: "Alright, alright, tell me, how do you plan to compensate me?"

"How to compensate..." Wang Dong pondered for a moment, then held up one finger, looking as if he had suddenly realized something!

"How about a picnic? We won't spend much money buying our own food, and it'll be quiet with few people, so we won't have to worry about being disturbed!"

"Sure, when are we going?" Huo Yuhao nodded slightly and agreed.

"Today! School doesn't start until tomorrow anyway! Let's go!" Wang Dong was excited and immediately stood up, pulling Huo Yuhao to leave.

He didn't want to be dragged into cultivation by this guy anymore; he'd rather play for as long as he could!

Then, as if realizing that his haste was inappropriate, he coughed twice and said, "Well, Xiao Xiao should be at school by now, why don't we call her too?"

"Okay, go and call them. I'll go pick out some ingredients for the picnic."

After saying that, the two went their separate ways.

There are many places outside Shrek City where you can buy materials. Huo Yuhao paid some gold soul coins and collected what he wanted.

After searching Dai Huabin and the Star Sword City Lord's storage soul tools, Huo Yuhao is no longer short of money.

"And these soul tools aren't very safe to keep on hand all the time. It would be terrible if they were discovered." Huo Yuhao shook his head, pondering how to deal with these soul tools.

Selling it at Shrek Academy is definitely not an option; they might just come knocking on your door as soon as you sell it.

After all, having read books, he knew that the White Tiger Duke and Shrek Academy were old friends, and even the sons of the White Tiger Duke's guards all came to Shrek Academy instead of going to the Star Luo Empire Royal Academy.

I'll have to find a way to make a trip to the Sun Moon Empire and sell these soul tools.

As a major country for soul tools, the price there might be lower, but it's virtually impossible for the White Tiger Duke's Mansion to discover it.

After buying the materials, Huo Yuhao returned to the academy to meet up with Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong.

"Are you two showing off your love and you're asking me to come over?" Xiao Xiao's gaze lingered between Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao as she spoke without any politeness.

She always felt that the relationship between the two men in front of her was a little too close.

Although Huo Yuhao always maintained a very calm demeanor.

But Wang Dong always clung to Huo Yuhao. She still remembered how Wang Dong looked like a resentful woman when Huo Yuhao asked for leave last semester.

"Alright, stop joking like that." Huo Yuhao waved his hand with a faint smile and said, "Is there any specific target in mind?"

"We can just go to Poseidon Lake," Wang Dong said matter-of-factly. "Is there anywhere more suitable for a picnic than Poseidon Lake?"

Huo Yuhao thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. After all, the scenery of Poseidon Lake was indeed quite beautiful.

"No, doesn't anyone think it's weird to have a picnic at school?" Xiao Xiao raised her hand and complained.

But they quickly followed.

"Don't worry, as long as you take your trash with you, it'll be fine. Anyway, there's no rule against picnicking by the shore of Poseidon Lake."

Huo Yuhao took the materials out of his storage soul tool while explaining to Xiao Xiao with a smile.

After saying that, they started grilling.

Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong looked at Huo Yuhao, who was fully prepared, with some curiosity.

"Yuhao, you can even barbecue!"

Wang Dong looked at Huo Yuhao with some surprise.

"It smells quite nice." Xiao Xiao took a light sniff, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

"Don't worry, it'll definitely taste good." Huo Yuhao chuckled, flipping the grilled fish in his hands.

Since this is the first time I'm making a barbecue for two friends, I'll naturally make my best dish: grilled fish.

Flames danced on the fish skin, and oil seeped from the fish meat, gradually soaking the whole golden-brown grilled fish.

As the seasonings were added, the aroma was aroused once again!

It instantly whets the appetite and stimulates the desire to eat!

Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong stared wide-eyed, clearly not expecting Huo Yuhao to have such skillful barbecue techniques.

"Give it a try." Huo Yuhao chuckled and handed the two grilled fish to the two of them.

Without saying a word, the two of them took a bite of the grilled fish!

The oil instantly seeps out, staining the lips, and the rich aroma invades the mouth along with the fish!

"tasty!"

In an instant, their eyes lit up and they exclaimed in surprise!
