Chapter 60 I Hate That You're a Block of Wood
During the three months, Huo Yuhao did take the time to teach Ning Tian some theoretical knowledge of soul tools and the skills of carving core magic arrays.
With the aid of his mental power, Ning Tian was able to make amazing progress in such a short time, and now he is even able to complete the engraving of the core array of a first-level soul tool on his own.
This also led Ning Tian to frequently refer to Huo Yuhao as "teacher" when he was in the Soul Guidance Department.
Although Huo Yuhao always felt that her shouting was somewhat malicious.
Seeing her smug little face, Huo Yuhao decided to put on a stern face and suppress her "arrogant" attitude.
He coughed lightly and commented in a deliberately serious tone, "Hmm, not bad, about the same as when I first started out."
Huo Yuhao's words weren't entirely boastful.
In his previous life, he spent five months learning the basics of forging, then another month mastering a series of tedious processes such as shaping, casting, quenching, and polishing, and finally a month learning the theoretical knowledge and inscription of the core magic array.
But at that time, he spent two full hours every afternoon after school studying the Soul Guidance Device.
Ning Tian currently needs to invest a lot of time in martial soul cultivation, so he only spends about an hour a day learning about soul tools.
To be able to make the leap from learning theoretical knowledge to independently inscribing the core magic array in just three months is truly a testament to her exceptional talent, and it may also be related to her cultivation of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's secret technique for controlling distraction.
"Of course, it's also related to the teacher's good guidance." Ning Tian stood up from his seat and smoothly and naturally took Huo Yuhao's hand. His watery eyes were even more sparkling, with a hint of cunning.
Ning Tian knew very well how amazing it was that she could successfully inscribe the core of a level-one soul tool in just three months.
Even the most outstanding geniuses at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy are probably no better than this.
All of this was thanks to Huo Yuhao's patient and meticulous guidance over this period of time, especially with the assistance of his mental sharing, which enabled Ning Tian to have a far superior understanding of the core array of the soul tool and the carving techniques.
Huo Yuhao felt the warm, soft touch on his hand, and his eyelids twitched involuntarily as he looked at the hand that Ning Tian was holding naturally.
He had to admit that he always seemed to lack the ability to refuse these proactive girls.
Every few days, Hyotei would sneak out and hug and kiss Tenmu while she was fast asleep, acting domineeringly and unreasonably.
While Ning Tian's offensive wasn't as direct and domineering as Bing Di's, it was a subtle and pervasive approach, always managing to make intimate contact with him unexpectedly and naturally.
As for Ling Luochen, that sudden kiss last time was probably the limit she could go on right now.
Ning Tian felt a surge of joy when he sensed that Huo Yuhao hadn't immediately pulled his hand back.
In these three months of seemingly casual contact, she could sense that Huo Yuhao was no longer as resistant to her closeness as he had been at the beginning.
She shook their still-holding hands and said in a light tone, "Yuhao, to celebrate my first successful independent carving of a level-one core magic array, shouldn't you treat me to a nice meal in Shrek City?"
As she said this, her gaze fell on Huo Yuhao's face, with a hint of expectation and probing.
At the beginning, Ning Tian approached Huo Yuhao mainly because of his family's requirements to find a strong and reliable partner.
Given her perspective and status, she had to admit that Huo Yuhao was indeed the most outstanding male of her age she had ever met.
Both their strength and potential are impeccable.
But in these seemingly ordinary three months of getting along, she found herself unconsciously drawn to this gentle and mysterious young man.
The initial utilitarian motives have long since faded, replaced by genuine appreciation and growing affection.
She naturally wanted to have more time alone with Huo Yuhao to better cultivate their relationship.
Thinking of this, Ning Tian's eyes involuntarily welled up with a hint of shyness, and his cheeks flushed slightly.
Meeting Ning Tian's expectant gaze, Huo Yuhao smiled gently and nodded: "Well, that's fine too. The freshman assessment is coming up soon, and everyone has been working hard these past few days. How about we invite Wu Feng and Xiao Xiao to go to the city for a nice meal?"
Ning Tian's smile froze instantly.
She blinked, momentarily stunned.
She suddenly wondered if Huo Yuhao was really a blockhead.
……
At this time, Huo Yuhao's outer courtyard team had also reached six members.
The team has gained another member, Nammon Yoon-ah, with long light green hair, dark green eyes with a gentle gleam, and a delicate and fragile temperament that evokes pity in people.
The group of six, a handsome young man and a beautiful young woman, were chatting and laughing as they walked along the winding path by Poseidon Lake toward the east gate of Shrek Academy, preparing to reward themselves for their recent hard work.
Three freshmen of similar age were walking towards them along the lakeside path.
Among the three people opposite, the boy in the lead was particularly eye-catching.
He had a full head of blond hair, deep blue eyes with double pupils, and a cold expression.
Behind him were two girls.
The one on the left is a black-haired girl with a similarly indifferent expression. Her eyes are quite unique, with different colors in each eye. Her left eye is a light blue, while her right eye is a light yellow.
The girl on the right, on the other hand, had a completely different style. She was graceful and had a figure that was far beyond the reach of her peers, with long pink hair cascading down her back.
When she saw Huo Yuhao walking towards her, she suddenly smiled sweetly, a smile that was so alluring it seemed to seep into one's very bones.
The two groups passed each other without exchanging many words.
Dai Huabin kept his eyes fixed ahead, maintaining his arrogant and aloof demeanor, but a sinister glint flashed in his eyes.
He subconsciously compared himself to Huo Yuhao and felt a little unhappy. Whether in terms of appearance or the quality of the girls around him, he seemed to be at a disadvantage.
Cui Yajie, who was closely following behind Dai Huabin, had a slightly flushed face.
As a complete sucker for good looks, this was the first time she had ever seen a man like Huo Yuhao who perfectly matched her aesthetic. His gentle and reserved temperament and handsome appearance made her heart flutter.
If it weren't for the fact that Huo Yuhao was already surrounded by girls whose looks were no less than hers, and that she also needed to accompany Zhu Lu back to the dormitory, she probably would have already been unable to hold back and wanted to take the initiative to talk to her.
She quietly moved closer to Zhu Lu beside her, lowered her voice, and with that charming smile still on her face, asked with a hint of excitement, "Zhu Lu, wasn't that boy really handsome?"
"Mmm." Zhu Lu responded absentmindedly. As Cui Yajie's roommate, she naturally knew Cui Yajie's personality.
Besides, Dai Huabin is right in front of her. Does she really want to discuss another man with Cui Yajie?
Seeing Zhu Lu's obviously perfunctory reaction, Cui Yajie pursed her lips and decided not to make a fool of herself any further.
Anyway, once they got back to their dorm, the girls had plenty of time to exchange this "important information."
Upon hearing the words behind him, Dai Huabin's expression darkened even further.
