Huo Yuhao stopped in his tracks when he heard this. He turned to look at Zhu Lu, who was pointing at him, and said coldly, "Oh? How about I go kill your mother and then come back and apologize to you?"
Zhu Lu was speechless. Meeting Huo Yuhao's eyes, which seemed to hold no emotion, she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. She couldn't help but lower her head, not daring to meet his gaze.
Huo Yuhao then shifted his gaze to Dai Huabin, who was kneeling on the ground. "My mother knelt before you just like this back then, but did you give us a way to survive? An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Dai Huabin, you can hide for a while, but not forever. Shrek Academy can't protect you forever."
After saying this, Huo Yuhao quickly turned and entered the Sea God Pavilion. He was afraid that if he stayed for even a second longer, he wouldn't be able to resist killing Dai Huabin.
It was already autumn and winter, and the temperature was cold, but Dai Huabin felt a cold sweat on his back. Even though his opponent hadn't done anything, he felt as if he was clinging to a cliff face, his life hanging by a thread.
Zhang Lexuan glanced at the departing Huo Yuhao, then at Dai Huabin kneeling on the ground. She said, "Go back. This is the Sea God Pavilion. What does it look like for you to kneel here?"
Dai Huabin silently got up and left, saying nothing. Seeing Huo Yuhao's attitude, he knew that there was no possibility of reconciliation between them.
"Even if there's an investigation, it's our Soul Guidance Department's business. Why do you need to meddle?"
The moment Huo Yuhao stepped into the Sea God Pavilion, he heard Xian Liner and Yan Shaozhe arguing furiously. Not wanting to get involved, he went straight to the second floor.
"Yan Shaozhe, I'm telling you right now, I'm taking him with me. If you have the guts, go to the Soul Tool Department and try to get him back." Xian Liner said, then bowed to Mu En.
"What are you waiting for? Come with me." Xian Liner glanced at He Caitou, who was standing there looking lost, and said impatiently.
"Yes." He Caitou finally reacted and followed Xian Liner out of the Sea God Pavilion.
"Teacher, I think it would be best to use the Soul Search Technique on him to be safe. His identity is still a problem. What if he really is a spy sent by the Sun Moon Empire?"
Seeing Xian Liner leave with He Caitou, Mu En made no move to stop them. Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but speak.
The Soul Search Technique he mentioned was a secret technique for reading the memories of others. It required the user to have a mental power far exceeding the target's. Rumor had it that this technique was created by a Title Douluo-level evil soul master and was circulated in small amounts within the soul world, with various major powers possessing it.
However, few people used it on others because the technique caused great harm to the target. At worst, the target's soul could be damaged. In severe cases, they could become complete fools. Previously, Du Busi had used a similar ability on abyss creatures.
Mu En still had his eyes closed, but he spoke, "Shaozhe, are you worried that the little fellow will be a threat to Shrek Academy, or do you want to get his martial arts skills?"
Mu En was such a figure, an old fox. He saw through Yan Shaozhe's thoughts with a single sentence.
Yan Shaozhe's eyes darted around, and he didn't speak.
"Alright, let's leave this matter at that. That little fellow will still be a student of our Shrek Academy in the future. Don't make things difficult for him."
"Teacher." Yan Shaozhe frowned.
"You two can leave." However, Mu En didn't give him a chance to speak further.
"Yes, Teacher." Yan Shaozhe was helpless and left with Xuan Zi, one in front of the other.
After the two left, Mu En opened his cloudy eyes, his gaze filled with disappointment. His disciple was short-sighted, only caring about small, immediate benefits, and unable to see the bigger picture.
If He Caitou's Nine Yang Divine Skill was really taken by the academy, and the news spread, what would happen? The students in the academy would be in a state of panic, and anyone who received a God-given Reward would immediately think of escaping from the academy.
At that time, the hearts of the people would be scattered.
That night, late at night, nearing dawn, Huo Yuhao walked out of the Sea God Pavilion after finishing his day's reading. He saw him take to the air and fly towards the outside of Shrek Academy. He didn't live in Shrek Academy, but stayed in a hotel outside the academy.
But just as he was about to fly out of the range of Sea God Island, the scene by the lake below attracted his attention. To be precise, it was a person, a woman, a woman whose whole body was emitting a light white glow.
Huo Yuhao was also familiar with this person; she was the senior sister of the inner court, Zhang Lexuan, the goddess recognized by the male students.
Huo Yuhao's attention wasn't drawn to her appearance, but because he felt that her state was very strange. However, he couldn't say exactly where it was strange, but he could see that Zhang Lexuan was cultivating.
Out of curiosity, Huo Yuhao didn't leave in a hurry, but gently landed on the side, observing. He wanted to see what was different about Zhang Lexuan's cultivation, and he also wanted to figure out what that strange state was.
Facts proved that humans were not omnipotent. Huo Yuhao watched for a long time, but he didn't see anything. Just as he was about to leave, Zhang Lexuan seemed to have realized something and opened her eyes.
After exiting the cultivation state, Zhang Lexuan's gaze turned towards Huo Yuhao. Seeing him curiously sizing her up, she teased, "Junior brother, it's not polite of you to stare at a girl like that."
Huo Yuhao didn't dwell on it and asked, "Were you cultivating just now?"
Zhang Lexuan nodded slightly and pointed at the sky. "Tonight is a full moon night. Because of my Martial Soul Characteristics, my cultivation is much more effective under these conditions."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao looked up. Indeed, the moon was full. This might not make much difference to Huo Yuhao, but Zhang Lexuan's Martial Soul was the moon itself, so it wasn't surprising that there was a connection.
Since it involved someone else's privacy, Huo Yuhao didn't pry. However, he understood the reason for the strange feeling he had earlier.
"Hmm? What did you call me just now?" Huo Yuhao came back to his senses, thinking about Zhang Lexuan's address.
"Junior Brother. What's wrong? Can't I call you that?" Zhang Lexuan asked with a smile.
Huo Yuhao smiled back and said, "There's nothing wrong with that. It's just that I dropped out a long time ago."
After a pause, Huo Yuhao continued, "I thought Senior Sister would be angry with me."
"Oh, angry? What do you mean?" Zhang Lexuan asked, puzzled.
"Hehe, isn't it because I left Big Brother Beibei at the Body Sect as a guest, and I didn't expect that you two would miss the Sea God's Fate."
In fact, Huo Yuhao was just speaking casually. Zhang Lexuan liked Beibei, but it was a case of the girl's feelings being unrequited.
"You little rascal, you're even teasing your elder sister now." Zhang Lexuan chided with a smile, but she stopped halfway through, staring at Huo Yuhao in astonishment. "How did you know?"
Uh!
Having let something slip, Huo Yuhao fell silent. He couldn't very well say he'd read the original story. In the end, he could only speak vaguely. "Senior Sister, you are the mainstay of the younger generation of Shrek Academy. How could other forces not gather information about you?"
So that's how it was. Zhang Lexuan nodded in understanding and then said, "Junior Brother, did you just come out of the Sea God Pavilion?"
"That's right."
"Junior Brother is really diligent." Zhang Lexuan praised. To be honest, she was very puzzled. It was said that Huo Yuhao only had a first-rank innate soul power, but at the age of thirteen, his cultivation was already close to that of a Soul Emperor, which was truly difficult to understand.
"Haha, I can't compare to Senior Sister. It's getting late, I'll head back first. Senior Sister, get some rest," Huo Yuhao said, not wanting to continue the awkward conversation, and immediately took his leave.
Zhang Lexuan nodded slightly, watching Huo Yuhao transform into a streak of light and float away.
In the blink of an eye, ten days passed. Huo Yuhao had roughly read through the books in the Sea God Pavilion and Shrek Academy, focusing mainly on the art of formations.
Shrek Academy truly deserved to be a behemoth that had dominated the Douluo Continent for ten thousand years. It was like a giant library, with a vast array of books, recording all sorts of strange and interesting events. The amount of information was enormous. Although it didn't have any particular specialties, the sheer volume of records was truly astonishing.
Compared to this, the only advantage of the Body Sect was the many battle skills they had inherited and their secret methods for mastering the second awakening of Martial Souls.
