Upon hearing the latter part of Shui Wuya's sentence, Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's momentary feeling of touched was instantly wiped away.
So, were they just making up the numbers?
After class, they engaged in sparring to coordinate their actions.
Shui Wuya was completely overpowering them both, and even Dai Huabin's Soul Power was depleted while Shui Wuya could effortlessly unleash one soul skill after another.
Dai Huabin even felt, for a moment, that he was a fake Soul Ancestor.
The two of them couldn't keep up with Shui Wuya's pace.
"Alright, let's call it a day for today," Shui Wuya said.
Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiaotao, what brings you here?" Shui Wuya asked after dispelling the ice wall.
He stopped because he saw Ma Xiaotao.
"Do you have time to go shopping with me?"
"How could I refuse an invitation from you, Xiaotao?" Shui Wuya smiled lightly and followed Ma Xiaotao.
Ma Xiaotao wanted to thank Shui Wuya, so she extended the invitation.
"If it weren't for you today, I would have been in trouble," she said as they walked through Shrek Academy.
"For your gratitude, I'll buy you anything you want today," Shui Wuya neither agreed nor refused.
Although it was getting late, Shrek City was bustling with activity.
At this time, most students didn't have classes, so they wandered around.
Walking through crowded places, Shui Wuya also witnessed Ma Xiaotao's popularity.
Every now and then, some senior students would come over to greet Ma Xiaotao.
And almost everyone passing by recognized Ma Xiaotao but didn't dare to approach.
Although they said they were shopping, Ma Xiaotao wasn't interested in most things. She just wanted to take a walk with Shui Wuya.
But Shui Wuya wasn't particularly interested in these things either.
After all, they ended up just taking a stroll.
Suddenly, a fragrant aroma wafted over.
"That smells so good, it must be grilled fish. Xiaotao?" Shui Wuya stopped in his tracks.
Ma Xiaotao also stopped, her senses more acute than Shui Wuya's, and she was now tempted by the aroma.
"It does smell good. Since when did the academy have such delicious food?" Ma Xiaotao wondered.
"Shall we go and take a look?" Shui Wuya saw that Ma Xiaotao seemed interested and suggested.
As for the aroma of the grilled fish, he probably understood now. It should be Huo Yuhao selling his grilled fish.
Judging by the aroma alone, Huo Yuhao's cooking skills were indeed excellent.
Shui Wuya was well aware of Huo Yuhao's life experiences, but he didn't have any biases against him because of that. At the same time, he didn't have any other thoughts about him either.
He just regarded Huo Yuhao as an ordinary student of Shrek Academy.
Since this grilled fish smelled so good, it wouldn't hurt to taste it and get to know him a bit.
Before they even reached it, they saw a long line of students.
"X... Xiaotao?" Shui Wuya heard a familiar voice and realized that Xu Sanshi was also there.
Seeing Ma Xiaotao at first glance, he was shocked.
He was afraid that Ma Xiaotao couldn't control her evil fire again and had come looking for him.
Although he hadn't helped Ma Xiaotao suppress the evil fire for three months, he would never forget their previous experience!
Although he was scared, he could only muster up the courage to greet her.
Because he saw that Ma Xiaotao had noticed him, running away now wasn't an option.
It was at this moment that he noticed Ma Xiaotao wasn't alone; she was accompanied by Shui Wuya!
"How... how come you..." Xu Sanshi blinked his eyes, looking somewhat bewildered.
"From now on, he'll help me suppress the evil fire. Thanks for your help before," Ma Xiaotao explained.
Xu Sanshi suddenly realized, immediately coming over to Shui Wuya enthusiastically.
It's no wonder he wasn't enthusiastic. Upon hearing that he would no longer need to help Ma Xiaotao suppress the evil fire, he was overjoyed.
He wasn't of the ice attribute, only the water attribute, so naturally, his ability to suppress the evil fire wasn't as effective as the ice attribute. Unfortunately, there weren't many ice attribute martial souls in the academy. Although those students with ice attributes were considered geniuses, they were far from being able to suppress the evil fire effectively.
In the end, he was tasked with helping to suppress the evil fire, but each time was agonizing for him.
Now that Shui Wuya was taking on this task, he would no longer have to endure such hardship.
If it weren't for Shui Wuya declining his Xuanshui Pills, he would have offered more to express his gratitude.
"Junior brother, thank you so much. You're truly my lifesaver!" After speaking, Xu Sanshi suddenly realized he misspoke.
Seeing that Ma Xiaotao didn't react much, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Junior brother, I don't have much to thank you for, so how about this? Let me treat you to grilled fish."
Upon hearing Xu Sanshi's suggestion, Shui Wuya hadn't responded yet, but Ma Xiaotao intervened first, declining on behalf of Shui Wuya.
"Today, I brought him here for shopping, so it's my treat for the grilled fish."
"Xiaotao, this grilled fish is limited," Xu Sanshi quickly explained to Ma Xiaotao.
At the food stall, Huo Yuhao was grilling fish and also noticed the situation with Xu Sanshi.
Shui Wuya? Why was he here, and who was the senior sister beside him?
Huo Yuhao felt puzzled. He had never seen Xu Sanshi so afraid of someone before.
"Hey, you, a freshman, have some potential, huh? You're already level 40," Huo Yuhao said as he observed Shui Wuya, startled by the voice of the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion in his mind.
"What? He's already level 40?!" Huo Yuhao was astonished, nearly stuffing the fish in his hand into the charcoal fire.
Level 40 meant becoming a Soul Ancestor as soon as he obtained a soul ring!
He himself hadn't even reached level 20 yet. At the same age, Shui Wuya's soul power level was more than double his, which was quite intimidating.
"Not only does he have a high soul power level, but his martial soul is also top-notch, and his extreme ice attribute is even more outstanding. No wonder he dares to defy that woman in class," remarked the Ice Ice Spirit Worm with admiration.
Such a talented soul master was the first time he had encountered one.
Huo Yuhao lowered his head, his expression complex.
At level 40, if they were to encounter each other in the freshman assessment, how could they win?
Just as Shui Wuya was listening to Ma Xiaotao and Xu Sanshi talking, he suddenly felt a spiritual force sweep over him. His gaze immediately turned to the source of the spiritual force fluctuation and saw Huo Yuhao.
The Ice Spirit Worm?
As a million-year soul beast, he wouldn't have noticed if it weren't for his ability to communicate with his ancestors, making his spiritual power extremely sensitive.
