Douluo Dalu 2: Peerless Gu master

The moment Wu Feng apologized, the achievement task was completed, and the reward was received.

[Achieve Wu Feng's 'Winner is King' achievement and receive the Fire Oil Gu as a reward.]

[Fire Oil Gu: When consumed and thrown into flames, it will self-detonate, producing large amounts of fire oil, significantly intensifying the fire.]

[Evaluation: This is truly adding fuel to the fire.]

Adding fuel to the fire?

At this moment, Huo Yuhao was indeed "riding on Wu Feng's head," doing as he pleased. However, he had little interest in girls like Ning Tian.

Although the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect has a formidable background, for someone like Huo Yuhao, who is still relatively weak, it would only add unnecessary constraints. Even Shrek Academy, renowned as the number one academy on the continent, has to show some respect to this ancient sect.

For now, Huo Yuhao couldn't afford to offend them.

With the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect's influence, if Ning Tian were to truly pursue him, other girls wouldn't stand a chance in the near future.

But Huo Yuhao was free! Even if it was to accomplish a mission, he wouldn't allow himself to be tied down.

At this time, Ning Tian was still unaware that Huo Yuhao had no interest in her. Her eyes were filled with admiration.

Huo Yuhao was not only handsome but also exceptionally talented and kind-hearted. In her eyes, he was the perfect partner. She was already planning to take the initiative to pursue him.

From Ning Tian's perspective, this was a sure thing. As the young miss of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, who could resist her advances? Who would refuse the support of such a powerful sect?

Thus, the two of them, with vastly different intentions, began chatting about spirit battles.

Wu Feng, standing to the side, felt out of place. Ning Tian had made up her mind, and Wu Feng was at a loss. Perhaps there was no place for her in this family anymore. But she wouldn't leave just like that. When the time came, she only hoped she could continue to care for Ning Tian.

In addition to the combat-oriented soul masters, those with healing, auxiliary, and food-system spirits, who lacked combat effectiveness, were paired with a combat soul master by Mu Jin for two-on-two battles. This ensured everyone had a chance to experience real combat.

The rest of the time was spent observing the battles.

Compared to Freshman Class 1, the first day of classes for Freshman Class 9 was relatively relaxed. By the end of the morning, more than half of the students had completed their actual combat drills.

"The morning classes are over, so I'll let you out a few minutes early. Go eat. In the afternoon, we'll continue with combat drills in the Great Spirit Arena. I hope no one is late," announced Mu Jin before dismissing the class.

"Class Monitor, let's go eat together," said Nanmen Yoona, joining the conversation between Huo Yuhao and Ning Tian.

Ning Tian also smiled and said, "Huo Yuhao, let's have lunch together."

Wu Feng remained silent, standing beside Ning Tian like an icy statue.

Many female students had wanted to approach Huo Yuhao, but with these three around, they felt too intimidated. After witnessing Huo Yuhao's strength, they could only admire him from afar.

Most of them hadn't even reached level 20 in soul power cultivation and were uncertain about passing the freshman exam in three months.

The morning's combat drills were Mu Jin's way of gauging the strength of his students while also allowing them to recognize their own weaknesses and shortcomings.

Compared to Huo Yuhao, who could defeat opponents with a single punch, they felt worlds apart, destined to drift further apart in the future.

When Huo Yuhao and the others arrived at the cafeteria, it was mostly empty, with only a few students from Freshman Class 9 queuing for food. This was the advantage of being dismissed early.

Mu Jin's attention to detail made everything feel incredibly smooth.

Huo Yuhao and his companions naturally ordered the best dishes available. After lunch, he bid farewell to the three girls.

On his way back to the freshman dormitory, Huo Yuhao encountered an unexpected person.

"Senior Xiaoya? Why are you here?"

"Ah, who are you? Xiao Yuhao?!"

Hearing the familiar voice and nickname, Tang Ya was stunned. She stared at Huo Yuhao for a long time before finally saying in disbelief, "It's really you! We haven't seen each other for a month Yuhao and you've changed so much!"

Huo Yuhao nodded. "It's me, Huo Yuhao."

Using his Imitation soul skill, his face reverted to how it looked a month ago.

"See, Senior Sister Xiaoya? I told you my martial soul is the Spirit Eye, and my second soul skill allows me to disguise my appearance."

Tang Ya pretended to be angry, placing her hands on her hips. "Okay, Xiao Yuhao, you kept such a huge secret from me? You even deceived your senior sister!"

Huo Yuhao smiled wryly. "I had to be careful, especially when going to the Star Dou Forest alone as a one ring soul master."

Who would have thought that merging with Beiming Bing's body would enhance his appearance even further? It was somewhat unbelievable.

Tang Ya turned her head and pointed a finger at him. "Hmph, I don't care. Unless you promise me something."

Huo Yuhao's heart skipped a beat. Was she going to ask him to join the Tang Sect again? That was absolutely out of the question.

He opened the system interface.

[Tang Ya]

[Relationship: Best Friend]

[Achievement Mission: Grilled Fish, I Can't Live Without You!]

Ah, it was about grilled fish. That was manageable.

Huo Yuhao asked, "One grilled fish?"

Tang Ya shook her head firmly. "You think you can bribe me with just one grilled fish? No, I want one every day for a whole month!"

Huo Yuhao agreed. "No problem. But did you come here just to see me, Senior Sister Xiaoya?"

He could sense that Tang Ya's visit was specifically for him.

"Yes, a few days ago, I asked someone to look into you. I didn't expect you and Wang Dong were roommates. That saved me a lot of trouble," Tang Ya said with a mysterious smile. "Xiao Yuhao, you're not exactly rolling in money, are you?"

Huo Yuhao nodded. He was indeed quite poor at the moment. A single meal could cost 10 gold soul coins, which was far too expensive.

Tang Ya chuckled, revealing her true intentions. "I have a plan. I know the aunt who handles food purchases for the cafeteria. I'll ask her to buy 20 extra fish from you every day. I've already ordered a grill, charcoal, and seasonings for you.

"After school, you can sell grilled fish at the entrance of the academy. With your skills, you'll definitely make a lot of money! A single fish costs one copper coin, and you can sell it for five copper coins once it's grilled!"

Ever since she tasted Huo Yuhao's grilled fish, she had been craving it. After completing her assessment, she finally came up with this idea yesterday—though she did it behind Beibei's back.

Seeing Tang Ya's eager expression, Huo Yuhao knew there was no escaping this. "All right, Senior sister Xiaoya. Let's meet here tonight?"

"Sure. I'll head back now. Oh, and I have a good news—Beibei and I have both been promoted to the fourth grade!"

Tang Ya waved excitedly and ran off.

Whether it was for the mission or Tang Ya's kindness, Huo Yuhao had no choice.

Selling grilled fish wouldn't take much time. However, selling it for five copper coins seemed a bit too cheap for them, didn't it?
