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

A gentle breeze blows across the shores of Poseidon Lake.

The boy and girl's hair danced in the breeze.

Dai Yueheng's gaze remained fixed on the group of teenagers, a faint murderous intent in his eyes, though he did not show it.

Only Huo Yuhao, with his keen sense of malice, perceived the murderous intent within him.

"They're all here," Dai Yueheng's voice rang out, his gaze sweeping over the group in front of him.

"Why are you hanging out with these students from the outer academy?" Dai Yueheng frowned, his gaze towards Ling Luochen and Huo Yuhao filled with scrutiny.

Facing Dai Yueheng's gaze, Ling Luochen slightly raised her head, her cold, blue eyes fixed on him: "What's it to you?"

"Hmph." Dai Yueheng snorted coldly, his gaze lingering on Huo Yuhao for a moment before turning away.

"What's wrong with this guy? Is something wrong with his brain? Why is he suddenly coming over to cause trouble?" Wang Dong complained, looking in the direction Dai Yueheng had left.

Huo Yuhao was also a little surprised. How could Dai Yueheng be so patient?

If he knew he was the one who killed Dai Huabin, then why wasn't his killing intent particularly strong?

If you didn't know you did it, why would you suddenly come looking for trouble?

At this moment, Ling Luochen put down the grilled fish in her hand and said softly, "I apologize for disturbing everyone's enjoyment."

"Dai Yueheng is hostile towards me because his younger brother died at the hands of an ice-attribute soul master."

"My relationship with him isn't good right now, either inside or outside the team."

Huo Yuhao suddenly realized.

It turns out they weren't there to see him; they just happened to be passing by!

Suddenly, a barely perceptible hint of apology appeared in his eyes as he looked at Ling Luochen.

After all, when you really think about it, it was he who harmed Ling Luochen.

"And then there's Ma Xiaotao, the two of them are vying for the captain's position."

"Now I don't want to choose any of them..."

Ling Luochen pouted, looking somewhat annoyed.

This appearance startled the three people around him.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ling Luochen blinked, looking at the three junior students around him.

"No...it's nothing, I just didn't expect Senior Ling to have this side to her." Wang Dong chuckled.

In their eyes, Ling Luochen is an ice queen, yet she has the same troubles in getting along with people as ordinary people.

"I'm a normal person too!" Ling Luochen pouted.

But soon, she finished the grilled fish in her hand, stood up, and patted her skirt.

"Fellow students, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. Thank you for the grilled fish." Ling Luochen winked at the group and then slowly left.

Suddenly, only the three of them remained by the Sea God Lake.

The three of them then started talking about second grade.

"Tomorrow is the official start of school, and there will be an entrance exam." Xiao Xiao said, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at the two of them.

"The opening exam, hehe!" Wang Dong chuckled, raising his hands in a muscular gesture. "I'll show you all how much progress this young master has made during this academic break!"

"This young master has successfully broken through to the third ring!"

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Huo Yuhao clapped in celebration, but was glared at by Wang Dong.

"You should be at the second ring level by now, since you took leave to absorb a spirit ring," Wang Dong asked Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao nodded.

"So what level are you now?" Wang Dong leaned closer to Huo Yuhao and asked in a low voice.

"Level 25," Huo Yuhao replied succinctly.

"Eh!!!" Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were immediately shocked, their eyes widening in surprise. Wang Dong even pointed at himself and exclaimed, "Level 25! That's almost the same as me! Your cultivation speed is so fast!"

"Just lucky." Huo Yuhao shrugged.

"No way! I need to speed up my cultivation too, I can't let you catch up!" Wang Dong said fiercely, glaring at Huo Yuhao.

"Then let's have some barbecue!"

Wang Dong was taken aback for a moment, glanced at the skewers of meat on the barbecue grill, and hesitated, "Never mind, you can cultivate anytime. Let's eat barbecue first."

Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao burst into laughter.

The picnic ended when the ingredients ran out, and the three of them cleaned up and parted ways.

Back in the dormitory, Wang Dong washed up and fell into a deep sleep, while Huo Yuhao continued to cultivate cross-legged.

"The cultivation of soul power cannot be stopped for even a day; it is a gradual and painstaking process that requires consistent effort over time."

Huo Yuhao said to himself.

"Besides soul power, mental power also needs to be improved, but the improvement speed of mental power is quite slow. Even from the first ring to the second ring, there is not much change."

Because the spiritual power in his spiritual sea was too abundant, the improvement in soul power was almost not reflected in his spiritual power.

He wanted to make great progress in his mental strength, so he either had to wait until his soul power broke through to level 40 and he absorbed his fourth soul ring, only then would his soul power be able to provide a sufficient boost to his mental strength.

Otherwise, they can only wait for the Rakshasa God Power to open the third ring and absorb the spiritual essence of Tianmeng again.

"As for the Rakshasa God Power, improving it through self-cultivation is quite slow. It's much faster to improve by killing evil spirit masters. Then we can see if there are any traces of evil spirit masters."

"Finally, there is necromancy. I need to learn from Elder Yi every day. However, the foundation of necromancy is also mental power. When it reaches its limit, it will also have to rely on mental power."

"We can't stop for a moment!"

As time passed and the seasons changed, the Eastern Lord awoke.

Huo Yuhao also opened his eyes, and the fluctuations of his soul power gradually subsided.

"Getting ready to start morning exercise."

He stood up, went out the door, and began his morning physical training.

Although his physical strength is no longer a weakness thanks to the help of the Life Gold and the Ice Emperor Martial Soul, he still maintains the habit of training every day.

After finishing my morning exercise and having lunch, it was almost time for class.

When I arrived at the classroom, I saw many familiar faces.

The homeroom teacher was still Wang Yan, but almost all the students were those who had performed well in the freshman competition.

The only person missing is Dai Huabin.

Wu Feng continued to hang out with Ning Tian, ​​while Zhu Lu, who was often with Dai Huabin, was all alone.

Soon Wang Dong also arrived at the classroom and naturally moved closer to Huo Yuhao.

"Knock knock." Wang Yan tapped the table in front of him to remind the students in the class.

"Next, everyone get ready, we're heading to the testing ground."

"If you fail this time's entrance exam, you will still be expelled."

Looking at the students in front of him, Wang Yan smiled faintly: "However, I believe that all the students in our class are very excellent and will definitely be able to pass the assessment."

Huo Yuhao wasn't too concerned about the assessment, since it wasn't difficult for him.

As for fighting spirit beasts, his current strength is more than enough to fight even a ten-thousand-year-old spirit beast.

But he certainly wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for himself, since there's no reward for it.

At most, you can choose a thousand-year-old soul beast, just like some top students.

His gaze was now fixed on Zhu Lu.

Zhu Lu looked haggard at this moment, clearly indicating that Dai Huabin's death had a significant impact on him.

Huo Yuhao didn't sense any malice from her, so she probably didn't know that he had killed Dai Huabin.

But just as he was observing Zhu Lu, Zhu Lu suddenly raised her head, and their eyes met!

The next moment, Huo Yuhao sensed a lot from her eyes.

Panic, fear, and many other emotions.

"Something's wrong," Huo Yuhao thought to himself, while keeping a close eye on Zhu Lu.
