The kitchen.
"They're gone," Lan Mei said to Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao, smelling of barbecue, nodded. While he was grilling, he finally made his request, "Sister Lan Mei, could you give me a Sunlight Blueberry during the day and another one at night?"
Lan Mei, resting in her chair, was taken aback when she heard this. "What do you need a Sunlight Blueberry for at night? You know it only works when it's exposed to the sun, right?"
Huo Yuhao explained his reasoning, "My Martial Soul is a mutated one. It produces special effects at night. Sister Lan Mei, your Soul Skill gives me a special boost at night too. It's not just sunlight; I can also bathe in moonlight. So..."
"Bathe in moonlight?" Lan Mei stood up abruptly, surprised. "My Soul Skill has that effect? I didn't even know."
Huo Yuhao explained, "It's probably a fusion between your Soul Skill and my Martial Soul that created this special situation. If it were someone else, they'd probably still only be able to bask in sunlight."
Hearing this, Lan Mei's mind raced, but in the end, she agreed, "Alright, I'll do it as you say. One at noon, one at eight in the evening."
"Thank you." Huo Yuhao thanked her, placing the barbecue onto a plate.
Lan Mei just patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder and then went out with the plate; the customers at the third table had been waiting long enough.
As soon as Lan Mei left, the kitchen fell silent; there were no more barbecue orders for the time being.
Huo Yuhao sat on a chair, wiping his sweat with a cloth, his mind occupied with his next plan.
He had to seize the opportunity to encounter Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Electrolux in the Star Dou Great Forest; these were the two keys to his rise.
At the same time, the admission requirement for Shrek Academy was level fifteen. He didn't plan to join the Tang Sect in this life, so he had to reach level fifteen after obtaining his first Soul Ring, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to enter Shrek Academy.
As for a recommendation letter, he'd ask for help later. If he couldn't get one, he would adjust his subsequent plans.
Fortunately, with the help of Sunlight Blueberries, he was confident he could reach level ten within half a year, or even sooner. Then, he would intensify his training for the following six months, striving to store more soul power for a breakthrough. After that, he would obtain a Soul Ring and make a push for it.
Don't forget that sunlight strengthens his body, which also lays a solid foundation for his physical strength. There's no doubt that he'll be able to utilize a higher age limit after fusing the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Soul Ring in the future.
The current biggest challenge is the timing of the search for the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm can wait a few more days; after all, it's been in the Star Dou Great Forest for so many years, so a few days won't matter. But Electrolux can't wait. Who knows if his soul fragments will disappear as a result?
Furthermore, it's unknown how much the sunlight and moonlight will increase his physical strength and meridian strength within this year.
"Buzz!"
Just as Huo Yuhao was lowering his head in thought, a buzzing sound suddenly echoed in his mind.
Huo Yuhao's eyes suddenly changed, and he immediately raised his head, also standing up and looking around.
Here it comes again.
It's the peculiar sound he heard while cultivating at Old Chen's place before.
"Who's there?"
Huo Yuhao shouted in his mind, his eyes scanning the surroundings sharply.
However, no response came.
Just as Huo Yuhao was on guard, a change occurred again. A faint voice, impossible to determine the gender, echoed, "Before being replaced or falling asleep, I will guide you to find everything that belongs to you. The future of this world, I'm counting on you."
The clear voice reverberated in his mind, and Huo Yuhao's pupils widened. "Who exactly are you? I hate riddles the most."
"I cannot speak with you for long; he will notice. But please believe me, I will never harm you." The voice sounded again, but gradually became weaker until it completely disappeared.
"Yuhao, Yuhao!"
The voice went from faint to loud, and Huo Yuhao woke up with a start. Turning his head, he saw Lan Mei looking at him worriedly.
Seeing Huo Yuhao awake, Lan Mei frowned slightly and said with concern, "Yuhao, are you tired? I called you for a long time, but you didn't respond."
"Ah, no." Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, trying to clear his head. "I was just lost in thought." Then, Huo Yuhao realized something and asked, "Sister Lan Mei, did the customers order something else? I'll start right away."
Lan Mei put her hands on Huo Yuhao's shoulders and pressed him down into a chair. "They didn't order anything. You sit down and rest for a bit."
Huo Yuhao looked up at Lan Mei. She said, "It's not busy right now. Tell me what you were thinking about, if you can. Consider me someone to talk to."
Lan Mei found a small stool and sat down nearby. She knew Huo Yuhao was an orphan, only ten years old, and must have suffered a lot. He definitely had many things he wanted to say.
Seeing Lan Mei's 'kind' expression, Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched. He was about to say he was fine, but suddenly stopped the thought and fell silent.
Seeing this, Lan Mei nodded slightly, thinking, Okay, he really does have something to say.
"Sister Lan Mei, I'm planning to enter Shrek Academy," Huo Yuhao said, revealing his plan.
"Enter Shrek..." Lan Mei had only uttered the first three words when her face instantly froze. She looked sharply at Huo Yuhao, anxiously saying, "Little Yuhao, did you spend too much time in the sun during your afternoon training?"
Huo Yuhao's forehead was crossed with black lines; wasn't this just saying he'd been sun-baked to the point of being brain-dead?
"I'm serious," Huo Yuhao said helplessly.
"But your talent and soul power level…" Lan Mei didn't want to say anything that would discourage him, but she couldn't help it.
"I'm confident I can reach level fifteen before the start of next year," Huo Yuhao said in a low voice, "but I don't have a recommendation letter from a city lord."
"Are you planning to ask me for a recommendation letter?" Lan Mei immediately understood.
"Yes," Huo Yuhao didn't try to hide it, directly stating his request.
"Alright," Lan Mei nodded slightly, indicating her agreement.
This time, it was Huo Yuhao's turn to be stunned. "Sis, aren't you being a bit too agreeable?"
Lan Mei seemed to guess what Huo Yuhao was thinking, and chuckled, "If you can really reach level fifteen before the start of next year, I'll be willing to ask Xiao Tao to help you. In this Douluo Continent of ours, only becoming a Soul Master is the true path. Otherwise, everything is just empty talk."
"Besides, you won't be able to stay in the barbecue shop forever. You'll need to become independent. If you can get into Shrek Academy, even if you fail the freshman assessment and get expelled, you'll still have been at Shrek, which is like getting a golden veneer. You'll have more places to go in the future, and finding a job to support yourself will be no problem."
"Speaking of which, Xiao Yuhao, if you become successful in the future, you can't forget your sister, you know."
Huo Yuhao looked at Lan Mei, his heart full of thoughts. He was about to speak, but Lan Mei reached out and rubbed his head, anticipating what he wanted to say. "I'll only agree to all of this after you succeed. And save your thanks for that day too."
"Alright, go get some barbecue. The customers are eating, and we need to eat too. I'm starving."
With a gentle tone, Lan Mei said to Huo Yuhao and then turned and left the kitchen.
Looking at Lan Mei's departing figure, Huo Yuhao didn't say anything in the end.
I've been thinking, the previous chapters you've been waiting for are too long. I'll just release four chapters at once.
This should be the only time I do four updates during the new book period. I'll wait until the book is on sale before I do more.
I feel like my body's been hollowed out.
