Huo Yuhao naturally wouldn't go back to live at Shrek Academy. Xie Huanyue had no choice but to carry him back to Ning Tian's villa according to his instructions.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao was late in returning, the impatient Wu Feng had already been waiting at the villa entrance for a long time. Soon, she saw the weakened Huo Yuhao on Xie Huanyue's back.
"What happened to him?" Wu Feng hurriedly took Huo Yuhao from Xie Huanyue's back. Seeing the usually calm boy in such a weak state, her heart ached incomparably.
"A situation came up, but it's nothing serious," Xie Huanyue still hadn't recovered from the story Huo Yuhao had told him about the gods. "You take good care of him. Young Master Huo's current state should be the after-effects of a spiritual power limit break."
"Leave it to me," Wu Feng said, supporting Huo Yuhao as she hurried into the house.
Xie Huanyue nodded, then left, turning his head back every three steps with some worry. It was only after walking a good distance that he remembered the girl who had taken Huo Yuhao away—wasn't she the new student from today's class who sat next to Huo Yuhao?
What's their relationship? A strange smile rose on Xie Huanyue's face. Young Master Huo is really not simple...
Huo Yuhao was supported by Wu Feng and laid on the bed. Ning Tian and Nanmen Yun'er also came over upon hearing the noise. They were shocked to see Huo Yuhao's extremely weak appearance.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Huo Yuhao had only used Spiritual Sharing to switch places with Xu Sanshi. In that brief moment, Huo Yuhao not only needed to use his simulation skill to mimic Jiang Nannan's voice, but he also had to forcibly set the target of Xu Sanshi's fourth soul skill, Xuanming Displacement, to himself. This was equivalent to forcibly controlling a four-ring Soul Ancestor far higher in level than himself, making his skill lock onto the target and successfully cast—a magnificent feat.
The three great divine skills—Spiritual Sharing, Spiritual Simulation, and Tsukuyomi—were all indispensable!
Likewise, the instantaneous output of an excessive amount of spiritual power almost made Huo Yuhao's entire brain explode. No matter what, he was still just a Soul Grandmaster without a third soul ring.
Xu Sanshi, who didn't know what had happened, had already been pulled onto the Tang Sect's pirate ship. Huo Yuhao could only apologize to him in his heart. It wouldn't be too late to save him in the future when he had the ability.
"What on earth happened to him?" Nanmen Yun'er gently wiped the cold sweat from Huo Yuhao's forehead. As the gentlest of the three girls, seeing Huo Yuhao like this, tears were about to well up in her eyes.
Wu Feng and Ning Tian looked at each other and just shook their heads. After spending these few days together, the relationship between the four of them had gradually become closer. Their concern for Huo Yuhao was naturally no less than Nanmen Yun'er's.
"I'm fine..." This was the first sentence Huo Yuhao said after returning to the villa. "I was attacked by a divine sense... Fortunately, it's nothing serious."
"Who did it?" Hearing this, Wu Feng's willow-leaf brows stood on end. Since she had already fallen for Huo Yuhao, she naturally didn't want him to suffer any harm.
Huo Yuhao didn't respond further. He tilted his head back and fell completely unconscious. He had barely managed to say that sentence, also hoping that the three girls wouldn't worry too much.
Ning Tian and the other two girls looked at each other in dismay. Fortunately, even though Huo Yuhao was unconscious, the fourth soul ring in his spiritual sea was still absorbing the life energy of heaven and earth and would not affect their cultivation.
Just like usual, the three girls continued to climb onto the bed and slept, embracing Huo Yuhao. It was just that this time, their movements were much lighter.
In the spiritual sea.
Because of Huo Yuhao's limit break, the now spiritual sea was in some turmoil. The spiritual projection transformed from Huo Yuhao's divine sense appeared in the great hall constructed by Bibi Dong, so weak that he couldn't even stand steadily.
"Yuhao, you have to hold on!" Bibi Dong was the first to rush over. She was the one who knew Huo Yuhao's current state the best. At the side, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm also flew over upon hearing the sound, wrapping around the leg of Huo Yuhao's spiritual projection, continuously transmitting gentle and pure spiritual power to him.
"That divine sense is truly terrifying," the gray bead condensed by Electrolux not far away couldn't help but exclaim. "Even an ordinary god would definitely not have such a powerful and terrifying soul pressure."
"That's natural. He's a God-King of a generation," Huo Yuhao said with a bitter smile. Today, he had thoroughly seen the gap between himself and the Tang Buddha. Even with numerous cheats, his current self didn't even dare to easily touch a single small wisp of divine sense.
"Yuhao, we all believe in you. The you of the future will definitely not be worse than that Tang San!" the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's chubby body rubbed against Huo Yuhao and comforted him.
"You focus on recovering first. In the future, try to stay as far away from the people of the Tang Sect as possible," Bibi Dong reminded him while easing the pain brought by his spiritual outburst.
Huo Yuhao stared blankly at the one god, one person, and one bug who were constantly cheering for him in his spiritual sea. A ripple couldn't help but form in the lake of his heart. Yes, no matter what, he still had them.
This made Huo Yuhao, who was filled with lingering fear, feel a long-lost warmth.
Didn't he transmigrate to Huo Yuhao's era precisely to break the shackles of this character? And at the same time, to help them change their predetermined destinies.
Bibi Dong could directly feel Huo Yuhao's thoughts, and her gaze towards him became increasingly gentle.
"Your Majesty, activate the Power of HaoDong!" Huo Yuhao's eyes became resolute again. For the first time, he felt his own weakness. If he couldn't get stronger as soon as possible, he was afraid he would encounter this kind of thing again.
Hearing this, Bibi Dong was stunned for a moment. An uncontrollable blush spread across her pretty face. Facing Huo Yuhao's firm gaze, she bit her full lower lip and then nodded solemnly.
"Alright!"
Huo Yuhao endured the severe pain, stood up again, and once more pulled Bibi Dong's full and curvaceous body into his embrace. This time, he held her very tightly, as if he wanted to completely merge her body into his.
The spiritual power of the two instantly completed the connection and gradually merged into one, allowing the divine power and soul power to entwine in the connecting channel, forming a cycle...
Outside, the three girls sleeping while holding Huo Yuhao soon felt the changes in his body. Not only was life energy crazily converging towards him, but even the spiritual qi of heaven and earth was being absorbed by his body.
This was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for the three girls. They simply held Huo Yuhao even tighter, not even letting some hidden parts show.
A wordless night.
On the other side, after paying the bill, Xu Sanshi returned to the academy with Bei Bei and Tang Ya. As the twin stars of the outer court, their accommodations were certainly no match for the new students', so they naturally didn't need to rent a house outside the academy.
Just as the three of them were about to enter the academy gate, a slender figure ran towards them.
"Hello, seniors," the youth had a handsome and fair face. His large eyes and neat short hair were both a faint powder-blue. His handsome appearance seemed to even surpass Bei Bei's by a few degrees.
The visitor was none other than the Tang Buddha's daughter, the current class president of Class One, Wang Dong.
"Is there something you need, classmate?" Seeing Wang Dong's appearance, Tang Ya's eyes couldn't help but light up. There really weren't many handsome little guys like this in the academy.
"Excuse me, are you the contemporary sect master of the Tang Sect, Senior Sister Tang Ya?" Wang Dong bowed to her. "I personally want to join the Tang Sect. I implore the sect master to accept me."
"Well, well, Tang Ya, your sect has a new recruit," Xu Sanshi said, snapping his folding fan shut with a mischievous smile. "Just with this junior brother's looks, attracting a few senior and junior sisters to your Tang Sect every day won't be a problem!"
Tang Ya quickly glared at him, then hurriedly helped up Wang Dong, who was still bowing. "Little junior brother, I haven't even met you yet. Why do you want to join our sect?"
"My name is Wang Dong. I am a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect," Wang Dong directly stretched out his left hand, and a dark, shiny great hammer appeared in his palm. "I also heard from my elders about the current situation of the Tang Sect. Considering some of the old ties from our ancestors, they had me switch to join the Tang Sect."
Bei Bei at the side had a sudden realization. The Sea God Tang San who had founded the Tang Sect back then, wasn't his origin the Clear Sky Sect? No wonder they would send a disciple to leave their sect to come and join the Tang Sect.
Bei Bei reminded him, "Junior Brother Wang Dong, you should think carefully. Joining a sect is no small matter. Although my Tang Sect has declined, it was once the number one sect under the heavens. If you regret it in the future and want to betray the sect, neither I nor Tang Ya will spare you."
Wang Dong scratched his head. "Seniors, rest assured. I, Wang Dong, am not the kind of person who goes back on his word."
"Good! Well said!" Tang Ya was so excited she hugged Wang Dong, which made Bei Bei at the side feel a little jealous.
"Little Ya, congratulations," Xu Sanshi said, shaking his folding fan at the side, congratulating Tang Ya.
"How about... you come and join our Tang Sect too?" Bei Bei glanced at Xu Sanshi and couldn't help but tease.
"If my Nannan is willing to join, then I naturally have no objection!" Xu Sanshi snorted, stylishly closed his folding fan, and turned away.
"Is Senior Brother Xu talking about the number one beauty of the outer court, Senior Sister Jiang Nannan?" Wang Dong blinked his good-looking big eyes and asked Xu Sanshi.
"You brat, don't you dare have any ideas about my Nannan!" Xu Sanshi warned. After all, Wang Dong was simply too handsome. What if this kid used a handsome-man-ruse on Nannan?
"Sect Master, rest assured. I will definitely find a way to pull Senior Sister Jiang Nannan into our Tang Sect!" Wang Dong showed a wicked smile and then patted his chest, assuring Tang Ya.
"Little Wang Dong, perform the discipleship ceremony. Our Tang Sect only has three people now, so we don't have that many rules. You just have to bow to me once and call me 'teacher,' and from now on, you are a member of my Tang Sect," Tang Ya said seriously.
Wang Dong nodded, and with a "plop," he bowed down before Tang Ya. "Disciple Wang Dong pays his respects to Teacher."
Tang Ya stood there without moving, letting him bow three times before helping him up.
"Very good, Little Dong. From now on, you are teacher's second disciple. Go meet your senior brother," as she spoke, she pointed to Bei Bei at her side.
"Greetings, Senior Brother," Wang Dong once again bowed to Bei Bei.
Bei Bei smiled faintly and said, "Junior Brother, don't be so polite. From now on, we are family."
Tang Ya seemed to let out a sigh of relief and said, "Little Dong, from now on, you can just call me Teacher Xiaoya, just like Bei Bei. But don't be like him, always being disrespectful. Understand?"
