Chapter 76: Itchy Powder

  The fourth watch is over, today's task has been completed.

  In this majority, after all, were the young masters and ladies of large families, such hard training could not last long. Only a few could persist.

  Especially those who entered through family connections, they soon started chatting idly. Hu Kai glanced at these people and didn't react at all. He had seen many such people before. Basically, by the end, they were all fired and returned to their own families. These people weren't worth paying attention to.

  This is also the real reason why in every small family of the kingdom, there are always people who can enter the Imperial City Academy, but in the end, there are only a few who can lead the family to move forward. Even those who can reach the spiritual realm are not many.

  The only ones to note are those with decent innate abilities and those who can persist until the end. Every year, the largest number of people from the academy joining the kingdom's army are these mercenary adventurers. They are the most capable of enduring hardships.

  Of course, there are a few young people who can reach the spiritual bone realm, which is not bad. Especially Hao Hai, this kid's cultivation has improved quickly and he is very young. Moreover, his willpower is also good, and he can persist in the heavy gravity spirit array.

  The Gravity Spirit Array isn't something just anyone can stay in for too long. This little guy not only persisted, but also continuously increased the gravity; it seemed like he wasn't even forcing himself, his face looking relatively relaxed. He had no idea that after going through the Body Refining Spirit Array and the Blood Refining Spirit Array, let alone other things, just in terms of pure willpower, there were hardly any people who could compare to him.

  One day may not see anything, as long as you can hold on, Huo Hai believes that his physical strength will not be worse than those who specialize in training their bodies. Hu Kai looked up at the sky, the sun had already reached its peak.

  "Alright, everyone stop, today's lesson is over here, let's have a meal together. This might be the only time we eat together." Hu Kai knew that tomorrow, definitely many people would not be able to avoid Helu.

  In the future, when attending classes, it's basically impossible for everyone to be present. Moreover, during class, he doesn't have much to teach them, and they still need to rely on self-study. At most, they can just use the tools here. After another two months, when the academy holds its first test, many people will be directly expelled. By then, there will be even fewer people left.

  Although some people were reluctant, they still stayed. Soon, the dishes were brought over by a specially assigned servant: "Alright, everyone eat! It's not anything good, but this meat is actually spiritual beast meat, eating more of it has its benefits."

  Huo Hai nodded, possibly because it was a big pot of rice, so it wasn't delicate enough. This flavor of the big pot of rice, Huo Hai savored in his mouth, filled with nostalgia. After coming to this world, he thought he would never get to eat this flavor again.

  Glancing around, Huo Hai smiled slightly: "Xiao Die, send them something." Huo Hai's expression didn't change, but he gave a silent command. Don't think that Gu masters only know how to use insects. Their poisonous tactics won't be inferior to any poison master. With the help of insects, in terms of poisoning, even most poison masters can't compare to him, and Huo Hai knew these things too.

  The itching powder had been prepared for them long ago, carefully concocted by Huo Hai. On the road, because danger could arise at any moment, Huo Hai didn't use it. Yesterday, just after arriving here, Huo Hai was in closed-door training to make a breakthrough and hadn't had time yet.

  I didn't expect this opportunity to come today. So-called itching powder, there are two kinds in total, both of which are in Huo Hai's hands. One is for external use, sprinkled on the body, and it takes effect immediately. The whole body is unbearably itchy, and ordinary people can't help but scratch their skin to pieces.

  Another type is for internal use. It's colorless and tasteless, just eat it and it will take effect in a few hours. As for the effect, since the itching powder was something that Huo Hai had only recently researched, he wasn't very clear about its specific effects either. He didn't even understand when exactly it would take effect. Well, using these enemies as test subjects would be just fine then.

  Ambition should be like a bad guy, Hao Hai, dealing with his own enemies, no matter what means are used, he will not feel excessive. It's just that for those innocent people, Hao Hai still can't bear to do it. He is still too kind.

  The little butterfly hid itself while grasping the medicinal powder carried by Huo Hai's body. Then, without Huo Hai's control, the little butterfly with a certain level of consciousness naturally knew that those people were not on good terms with Huo Hai. It secretly flew onto their food and lightly sprinkled it down.

  Worried that the amount might not be enough, Huo Hai even had Xiao Die fly back and forth several times to sprinkle all of these powders onto their food. The main ones were Huo Yan's group, as well as some people from the He family led by He Wang. Although He Wang wasn't very sociable now, as the second son of the He family, there were still many people in the He family who tried to curry favor with him.

  Watching them eat the things, Huo Hai nodded in satisfaction. Ji Mu looked at Huo Hai with a puzzled expression, wondering why this guy looked so happy. Forget it, I'll ask him when we get back.

  A meal was finished like this, it's the first time all members are present, probably also the last time. This place's harsh and bitter training method doesn't suit everyone, nor can every person persist.

  Soon, Hu Kai announced the disbandment. Hao Hai didn't care about anything else, he still needed to nourish his body. Right after breaking through, his body was exceptionally weak, this was the aftermath of burning and refining himself and his soul in large quantities.

  Being able to persist until now is already a manifestation of Huo Hai's own will. At night, he must take good care of himself. The training of the Gravity Spirit Array, for Huo Hai, is not about increasing his endurance and strength, but rather developing them. It is about fully developing his body, which was originally perfectly developed. Before reaching the Spiritual Realm, Huo Hai has obvious advantages in all aspects.

  "Alright, you two can do what you want on your own, I'm going to go rest." Huo Hai revealed a tired expression, Ji Mu wanted to say something but didn't. Letting Huo Hai leave, he took Yun Er to stroll around the streets instead.

  Huo Hai returned to his own courtyard, once again instructing the housekeeper to prepare a sumptuous meal, and then not allowing anyone to disturb him. He went back to his room alone, sat quietly on the bed, and cultivated his spirit to recover as soon as possible.

  Unconsciously, two hours had passed. Suddenly, the information transmitted by Xiaodie made Huo Hai wake up. "Hehe, the medicine is so effective that it has taken effect so quickly. Let me take a look at what these guys are doing." When leaving, Huo Hai asked Xiaodie to secretly follow Huoyan and his group. Xiaodie flew in the air without drawing any attention.

  Finally, after two hours, the itching powder took effect. At this time, Huo Yan and his group had sneaked into a small grove, seemingly planning something. Judging from their appearance, it was definitely not anything good.

  At this moment, a young man from the Huo family suddenly changed his face and started scratching himself, and it got worse and worse. "What's wrong with you, have you been bitten by bugs?" Huo Yan frowned and said discontentedly.

  "I don't know, I just feel itchy all over my body, extremely itchy. I can't take it anymore." As soon as he said that, he started rolling around on the ground, constantly scratching his body, looking like he was in great discomfort.

  Huo Hai saw that this guy was the one who ate the most during meals earlier. Now he's getting his retribution, letting him eat so much. Initially, when Yun Er was kidnapped, this guy had a part in it too. Seeing this guy like this, Huo Hai felt especially relieved in his heart. After breaking through, under the intense emotions, he would never let his blood boil again and lose control of himself.

  "No, it's not good. There must be something here, I feel it too." Just then, another person felt an unbearable itch all over their body and was very uncomfortable. Then, more and more people started to feel unwell.

  Even Huo Yan himself started scratching his body. Among the people who had just eaten, Huo Yan was the one who ate the least. Everyone didn't suspect anything and thought there was something bad in this forest. But no matter what, they couldn't find anything.

  Finally, Huo Yan felt a stinging sensation on his body. It turned out that when he was in pain just now, he had scratched himself forcefully and immediately added several blood marks to his body. This pain made Huo Yan come back to his senses. He circulated his spiritual energy towards the wound, and suddenly felt a coolness at the wound site, as if it had eased a lot. Continuing to circulate, he found that the itching sensation had indeed become much lighter.

  Huo Yan said loudly, "Activating the spiritual energy can make it easier for you." This was said too late. The one who had felt something was wrong from the beginning was now covered in blood and flesh, looking extremely miserable.

  Fortunately, this injury is only on the surface. As long as medicine is applied afterwards, there won't even be a scar left behind. Upon hearing these words, everyone was like grasping a lifesaving straw in water, and they desperately started to circulate their spiritual energy throughout their bodies.

  Under the effect of spiritual power, it indeed felt much more comfortable. However, everyone didn't have as high a cultivation level as Huo Yan, and they only relaxed a bit. As time passed, everyone's scratches became lighter, and the feeling on their bodies gradually recovered. The crowd exchanged a glance, with hearts racing in their eyes. Even Huo Yan had several scars on his body, let alone others.

  "Let's hurry up, we don't know what's inside, let's get out of here quickly." Huoyan growled and hastened to walk outside. The spiritual power they had just consumed was almost depleted, if they came again, they would not be able to bear it.

  "This appearance, how can we let outsiders see it? Several people frowned: "Don't go out, if people see us, our plan won't work. We'll take the side road, and I'll buy some clothes later to cover up."

  Everyone looks too miserable at this time. If they are seen by others, how can they recruit people?. Without enough manpower, their plan to stand out, will not be able to be completed.
