The sun rose and the moon set, and in the blink of an eye, it was the second rest day since the start of the semester.
The students of Class Nine once again dressed up for the occasion, though their faces carried a hint of worry and tension.
The last gathering was still fresh in their minds. Would this one be disrupted as well?
Their homeroom teacher, Mu Jin, also wore a purple dress, a smile on her face.
The gathering was held once again by the Sea God Lake, and the attendees hadn't changed at all.
The boys moved tables and chairs, while the girls decorated the venue. With the cooperation of over a hundred people, the preparations were quickly completed.
As everyone took their seats, Huo Yuhao stood up and walked onto the makeshift stage.
Holding a sound-amplifying soul tool, he bowed slightly and said, "Hello, teacher and classmates."
"Hello, Vice Monitor!"
The crowd quickly responded, their tense expressions relaxing slightly.
With the vice monitor here, there shouldn't be any problems. Even if something did happen, the vice monitor could handle it!
They unconditionally trusted this prodigious monitor!
After all, this vice monitor was different from other geniuses. He didn't just focus on improving himself but worked to elevate everyone's strength together!
Huo Yuhao cared for everyone, and in return, everyone held him in high regard.
"Hehe~"
Huo Yuhao chuckled, flashing a bright smile, then said, "Classmates, there was an incident during the last gathering, so we didn't get to finish the talent show."
At the mention of this, everyone's eyes twitched, feeling a bit speechless.
During the last talent show, only Ning Tian had gone on stage, and before she could finish her dance, the incident had occurred.
"Today, we'll complete what we didn't finish last time."
Pausing here, Huo Yuhao continued, "The rewards for the talent show are still those two Profound Water Pills."
"In addition, I've specially purchased three thousand-year soul bones as prizes for the talent show."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yuhao took out the three thousand-year soul bones. With their appearance, a dense wave of soul power surged on the stage, accompanied by flashes of red, blue, and yellow light.
The three soul bones were a fire-attribute left arm bone, a wind-attribute right leg bone, and an earth-attribute left leg bone.
"The first and second place in the talent show will each receive one Profound Water Pill and one thousand-year soul bone."
"As for third place, they'll have to take the remaining soul bone."
As soon as Huo Yuhao finished speaking, everyone's eyes widened, their mouths slightly agape, wanting to say something but holding back.
Soul bones! These were soul bones!
Coming from the vice monitor's mouth, they sounded as common as cabbages, with no value attached.
Even if they were only thousand-year soul bones, their worth was immeasurable!
After all, even in many official soul master competitions, soul bones weren't offered as rewards. The prizes were usually gold coins or soul tools.
Competitions that offered soul bones as rewards were all major events.
Even the entrance exam for Shrek Academy didn't guarantee a soul bone as a reward.
Three thousand-year soul bones as prizes for a talent show? This was simply terrifying!
The students of Class Nine were thrilled, and even their homeroom teacher, Mu Jin, was visibly moved.
She only had one secret technique soul bone herself, and here were three thousand-year soul bones!
Unfortunately, as a teacher, she couldn't compete with the students!
Seeing the high spirits of the crowd, Huo Yuhao put the soul bones back into his storage soul tool and continued, "Before that, let's distribute the consolation prizes, a soul tool for each person!"
Everyone knew about the purchase of soul tools, so they weren't too surprised.
Huo Yuhao stepped down from the stage and, along with Hua Huo, began distributing the soul tools.
When Mu Jin received a level-six soul tool, her expression changed.
This was a level-six soul tool! Its value was far beyond that of level-one or level-two soul tools.
The value of a level-six soul tool was almost comparable to a thousand-year soul bone.
Of course, a thousand-year soul bone could be exchanged for a level-six soul tool, but a level-six soul tool couldn't be exchanged for a thousand-year soul bone.
Only a full set of level-six soul tools matched the value of a thousand-year soul bone.
Mu Jin quickly waved her hand, refusing, "Yuhao, this is too valuable. How could you use the class's gold coins to buy something so expensive for me?"
The five million gold coins were compensation from the academy for Class Nine, and there was also an "outsider" Huo Yuhao's roommate, Wang Dong!
As a teacher, how could she accept something so valuable purchased with shared funds?
Even if she hadn't bought it herself, ethically, she couldn't accept it.
Huo Yuhao glanced at Mu Jin but didn't explain. Instead, he looked around at the students and said, "Classmates, does anyone have any objections to buying Teacher Mu Jin a level-six soul tool?"
As soon as he said this, the students were stunned, then quickly responded, "I have no objections!"
"Neither do I!"
"Teacher Mu Jin is a great teacher. She risked her life to protect us last time. I think we should buy her a full set of level-six soul tools!"
"Right, I agree! If Teacher Mu Jin had a full set of level-six soul tools, even if we encountered that evil Soul Emperor again, she'd have a fighting chance!"
The students' chatter made Mu Jin's eyes twitch. While she was moved, she also felt a bit insulted.
Her strength was indeed inferior to Ma Xiaotao's.
With a full set of soul tools, she might stand a chance against Ma Xiaotao, and even if she lost, it wouldn't be as humiliating as last time.
"Mu Jin went up, Mu Jin passed out…"
It had been too tragic!
Huo Yuhao spread his hands and said to Mu Jin, "Teacher Mu Jin, you see, this is the will of the people!"
Mu Jin looked at Huo Yuhao, then at the students of Class Nine, and finally said with some embarrassment, "Well… then I'll reluctantly accept it!"
Truthfully, she didn't want to give up this level-six soul tool, but she was afraid of gossip.
Since it was the "will of the people," she could accept it without issue.
Seeing Mu Jin accept it, Huo Yuhao returned to the stage and said to the crowd, "Classmates, the total cost of this gathering is 1.32 million gold coins. After the gathering, I'll distribute the remaining gold coins to everyone."
Hearing this, the members of Class Nine were thrilled. This was over three million gold coins!
Class Nine had a hundred students, plus the teacher and Wang Dong from Class One, making a total of 102 people. On average, each person would receive over thirty thousand gold coins!
Thirty thousand gold coins!
While their families were well-off, thirty thousand gold coins was still a significant sum!
"Vice monitor is mighty, may he live a hundred years!"
Huo Yuhao: "???"
"I'm giving you gold coins, and you're cursing me to live only a hundred years?"
"Do you even know what immortality is?"
