"Refreshing!"
What a satisfying cultivation session!
The brilliant morning glow cast a dreamy sheen over his dark hair. Today's weather was still bright, just like An Zhen's current mood.
Aside from the period right after he awakened his Spirit, he hadn't felt himself improve this quickly in a long time.
First Spirit Ability, Reflection.
The Virtual World descended here, overlapping with reality and altering it.
spirit power appeared out of thin air, and his meridians subtly expanded.
Spirit Grandmaster, Level 24.
He was using the energy stored in the Virtual World. An Zhen usually did this; after all, it was a small World. Its current smallness was relative to the Douluo Plane. Moreover, this World still had to obey the law of conservation of energy. How could a Level 23 An Zhen materialize a Level 24 An Zhen?
"At this rate, it won't be difficult to reach over Level 30 by the end of this semester."
daughter of destiny.
When the daughter of destiny was inside his Virtual World, there wasn't even the slightest repulsion from the World.
Incredible.
The problem that had troubled An Zhen for so long was actually solved just like that.
He felt like he was living off a rich woman. A small company (Virtual World) was using the resources of a large company (Douluo Plane). If a stranger took their money, they would definitely not agree, even if it was just a trivial amount, it was still theirs. But now, the small company had latched onto the large company's beloved daughter (Huo Yutong) and become a live-in son-in-law.
What a strange analogy.
Well, no matter what, the outcome was good.
Dressing.
An Zhen, after stepping out of his dormitory door, knocked on the door of dormitory 108.
After a while.
The sleepy little cute girl, dressed neatly, opened the dormitory door.
"Brother An Zhen…"
The loli looked at the boy with resentment.
Although cultivating in the dream was fast, waking up felt like staying up all night, and her cultivation hadn't improved at all.
"Didn't I come to help little Yu Tong improve her cultivation?"
An Zhen affectionately reached out and gently pinched the loli's soft cheek.
"No."
Huo Yutong shook her head, but when his fingertips touched her soft cheek, she gave up struggling. Her clear, watery eyes seemed to hide a timid little deer.
A golden spirit ring appeared.
First Spirit Ability, Reflection.
The sleepiness from the entire night suddenly vanished, as if she had slept soundly. Energy that appeared out of nowhere flowed through her body. Although it was power that came from nothing, it now felt as if she had cultivated it diligently, and it circulated without any discomfort, completely natural.
Very good.
An Zhen gently pinched the loli's cheek.
At this moment, Huo Yutong was at her most vulnerable and powerless, from now until the future. A child without a home needed someone to rely on, which is why Huo Yuhao in the original work helped the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy so much, because he truly regarded that place as his home.
If that's the case, why can't I be Huo Yutong's reliance?
"I'll go!"
A somewhat cute large insect raised its head on the golden ocean. "Little Yu Tong, what happened? How did you suddenly become so much stronger?"
"Sorry, Tian Meng Jie, I promised Brother An Zhen I wouldn't tell anyone else," the loli, letting the boy pinch her cheek, said in her heart.
Last night, she had promised Brother An Zhen.
First, she couldn't tell anyone else that Brother An Zhen's Spirit could allow people's consciousness to enter.
Second, when they were alone, she had to use her original voice.
"But I'm not a person."
The large insect complained, looking outside through Huo Yutong's perspective. "Little Yu Tong, when did your relationship become so good? Also, when did you two start having secrets?!"
Tianmeng Iceworm was a bit confused.
It was like a daughter who was obedient and sensible yesterday, and had never even dated, today suddenly brought a man back and said, 'This is my husband.'
No, what exactly happened last night?!
Did it sleep for many days in one go?
"Let's eat first. We'll have to see if there are any teachers in the teaching office later about changing dormitories."
After washing up, the two headed to the dining hall.
At the entrance of the white dining hall, An Zhen directly held the petite loli under one arm, then quickly set her down.
"Let's go."
The handsome young man blinked, innocently saying, "To express my apology for my behavior towards student Huo Yutong just now, I'll treat you to breakfast."
A voice with a hint of teasing sounded in the ear of the still-shocked loli, "Little Yu Tong wouldn't want to be held in my arms in public, would she?"
"Mmm."
The loli pouted.
How could Brother An Zhen be so naughty?
Huo Yutong was finally "coaxed" into the purple dining hall for fourth and fifth-year students.
Under An Zhen's threat of lifting her high and spinning her around, the little loli had no choice but to open her cherry-like mouth.
"Eat more."
An Zhen placed a Spirit Beast fried egg on the loli's plate.
"The prerequisite for cultivation is to have a good body."
"Thank you, Brother An Zhen."
The loli buried her head in her food.
She couldn't repay Brother An Zhen's kindness now, so she could only silently remember it, and in the future, she would definitely be able to help Brother An Zhen.
"Hmph~"
Her little belly bulging, Huo Yutong leaned back in the chair with a satisfied expression. She had never thought that breakfast could be so filling, and even the pancakes were so fragrant and soft. This was something she couldn't even imagine in the past.
"If you're full, go back and rest first. The teachers in the teaching office probably won't be in until nine or ten o'clock."
An Zhen drank a cold beverage.
"Mm." The loli nodded obediently.
As for Huo Yutong's work, An Zhen thought she could open a milk tea shop. Looking at An Zhen's past life examples, he knew how devastating this kind of thing was to young boys and girls, and he could add some more expensive ingredients to raise the price. Most of the powerful Spirits in this World come from bloodline inheritance; beneficial mutations are, after all, a minority. Shrek Academy itself is a noble school, and most students don't lack this money.
How much money can grilled fish make?
It's time to shock the other World with some technology and powerful stuff.
I just need to make a slight move, and the average weight of Shrek Academy will increase significantly.
Back to the dormitory.
Huo Yutong's dormitory door was open.
"It seems little Yu Tong's roommate has arrived."
"And you are?"
A boy walked out of the dormitory.
Fair skin, dreamlike pink-blue hair, and beneath his curved willow eyebrows were eyes as dreamy as his hair, clear and watery, like gems left behind by a deity in the human World.
A very handsome boy.
"An Zhen, new student, lives next door, Spirit Grandmaster, Spirit is World."
"Wang Dong, new student, Spirit Grandmaster, Spirit is Light Goddess Butterfly." The boy introduced proudly, but a Spirit is World? Can World become someone's Spirit?
"Light Goddess Butterfly…"
An Zhen murmured softly, his gaze at Wang Dong becoming increasingly strange.
"What kind of look is that?!"
The handsome boy said with displeasure.
"Get into the dormitory first."
Before Wang Dong could say anything, An Zhen directly pushed Huo Yutong inside, then closed the door.
Although simple, the dormitory had good sound insulation.
"Little Yu Tong, it seems you won't have to change dormitories this time."
Huo Yutong: ?
Wang Dong looked at the other boy in the room, "You're my roommate?"
"Considering you cleaned the dormitory very well—"
"Is it very popular to attend school disguised as a man these days? Unfortunately, the old man said that cross-dressing to enter a female dormitory would lead to expulsion."
"You, you, you!"
A pale finger pointed at An Zhen, the boy was so agitated he couldn't speak for a moment. "You're the girly one!"
That blush on his face, he didn't know if it was shyness from having his identity revealed, or anger from being humiliated. If An Zhen hadn't read the original work, he might have really thought it was anger after being insulted.
"Light Goddess Butterfly."
An Zhen had already made up an excuse. "I once saw it in a tattered ancient book in the City Lord's library when I was bored. I was very impressed by it because it was so beautiful. This Spirit Beast might be extinct, but as a Spirit, due to its characteristics, it only appears on beautiful females."
That City Lord's Mansion might not have this ancient book, but this information was indeed recorded in some books.
"Your disguise is very good, but you don't seem to know this piece of information. However, apart from those who occasionally stumble upon it or are very knowledgeable about Spirits, probably no one knows."
