Chapter 31: Return at the Card Point Such a tacit scene actually frightened the students nearby so much that they stood there in a daze. Their eyes were blank and at a loss, as if they were cast under a spell. They were frozen in place and had no idea what was going on. Zhou Yi looked solemn, her serious face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. She waved to the students and said, "You should go back and prepare first." "Yes." The three students responded hurriedly, with a hint of panic in their voices. They quickly retreated, their steps appearing hurried and messy. Wang Dong's face was filled with anxiety, and his voice was filled with deep worry. His anxious tone seemed to burst through his throat: "Teacher Zhou, Huo Yuhao hasn't come back yet? If you haven't seen him either, should we go to the Soul Guidance Department to ask?" Zhou Yi frowned, his brows were like two deep furrows that could almost pinch a fly to death, and there was uncontrollable anger in his eyes, and that anger seemed to be about to burst out: "No need to go. I have already asked. Huo Yuhao told me that the Soul Guidance Department arranged a teacher to accompany him to obtain the soul ring. But when I asked Fan Yu, Huo Yuhao told him that the Martial Soul Department sent a teacher to help him obtain the soul ring. Isn't this cheating both sides?" Hearing her say this, Wang Dong's face instantly became more anxious, and his tone became a few degrees higher, his voice full of disbelief: "No way, he doesn't even have an offensive soul skill, how could he hunt soul beasts by himself!" Zhou Yi said in a deep voice: "He must be hiding something from us. By the way, have Ye Qian'an and Gu Yuena returned? Have they seen Huo Yuhao?" Wang Dong shook his head vigorously and said anxiously, "Ye Qian'an and Gu Yuena just came back today. I asked Ye Qian'an, and he said he hadn't seen them either." "Well, go to the senior department right now and find Beibei and Tang Ya for me. It would be great if they are not here either." Zhou Yi ordered anxiously. "Okay." Wang Dong responded, turned around and ran away like the wind. At this moment, he was just praying silently in his heart that Beibei and Tang Ya would not come back.
After a while, Bei Bei and Tang Ya were already in Zhou Yi's office. When they heard that Huo Yuhao had not returned, they were so shocked that their eyes widened, their faces full of disbelief, and their shocked expressions were as if they had heard a fairy tale. Bei Bei said solemnly: "Teacher Zhou, when we separated, Junior Brother was still fine. He couldn't have gone to hunt soul beasts by himself..." Several people looked at each other, their eyes full of doubts. Their eyes revealed deep confusion. They couldn't understand why Huo Yuhao had hidden the fact that he had left the academy without telling anyone. He didn't come back, and there was no point in worrying. Zhou Yi was extremely anxious, and her anxious look was like an ant on hot pot. Fan Yu was even more worried, and his worry almost crushed him. Everyone who was close to Huo Yuhao had different thoughts in their hearts. Some were angry, some regretful, and some confused. But except for Ye Qian'an who knew the reason, no one could think of the real reason why Huo Yuhao concealed the truth. However, time waits for no one. A day passes in the blink of an eye. A day passes in the blink of an eye. A day passes in the blink of an eye again. The time for Shrek Academy to report for the new school year has finally arrived. The entrance examination for new students has been completed and all the new students have enrolled, while other grades are all facing the upcoming promotion exams. Registration started in the morning and ended in the afternoon. Ye Qian'an, Gu Yuena and Wang Dong completed their registration early. Then Wang Dong stood anxiously at the gate of Shrek Academy, stretching his neck to look into the distance and wait. His expectant eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the barrier of space. "Why, he hasn't come back yet? Why? The rules of Shrek Academy are very strict. If you fail to report on time, you will be expelled!" Wang Dong looked into the distance with a dazed look in his eyes. He kept muttering to himself, and his voice was full of anxiety and uneasiness. The sky gradually darkened. It was too late, too late. Huo Yuhao had already missed the registration time. Bei Bei, Tang Ya, and Xiao Xiao also arrived at the entrance of the academy one after another. Looking at the gradually darkening sky, their faces also dimmed like the night, and their solemn expressions seemed to be shrouded in darkness. Wang Dong seemed to have lost his soul and had no idea how he got back to the dormitory. When he came back, it was already completely dark outside. Huo Yuhao was ultimately unable to get back in time to report. At night, Ye Qian'an walked out of the blacksmith shop. After unlocking the fourth seal of the Golden Dragon King, Ye Qian'an's strength doubled. The strength of his left arm has reached five thousand kilograms, and the strength of his right arm is close to ten thousand kilograms. There is a soul bone attached to the right palm of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear in his right arm, so it is expected that it will be close to ten thousand kilograms. "Have you passed the test?" Gu Yuena handed the water bottle to Ye Qian'an, her movements gentle and caring. "Passed. Now I can complete the Thousand Forgings with just a few hammers. Now I just need to consolidate it before I can start the Spirit Forging. As long as I start the Spirit Forging, I can start forging battle armor." Ye Qian'an said after taking a sip of water. There was a hint of fatigue in his voice, but his excitement could not be concealed. "Battle armor? What is that?" Gu Yuena was a little confused. She had been in the human world for such a long time and knew a lot of things, but she had never heard of battle armor. Ye Qian smiled and patiently explained to Gu Yuena: "Battle armor is a kind of auxiliary equipment, similar to soul bones, but different from soul bones. Soul bones can give soul masters soul skills, but battle armor cannot. It can only be used to amplify. When my forging skills reach the soul forging level, I will be able to create the basic materials for battle armor." Gu Yuena nodded thoughtfully, with a curious light in her beautiful eyes: "Soul beasts can also use battle armor?" Ye Qian thought for a moment and said, "Theoretically speaking, if a soul beast can transform into a human, it should also be able to use battle armor." Gu Yuena raised her head slightly and looked into the distance: "How much can it be improved?" Ye Qian pondered for a while and answered seriously: "It depends on the quality of the battle armor and its compatibility with the user. If it is a set of six-character battle armor and it is perfectly matched with the user, the improvement in strength is almost the same as that of a pseudo-god." Gu Yuena's eyes flashed with surprise: "It has such a powerful effect, how long will it take you to create such a battle armor?"
Ye Qian smiled helplessly: "This is not something that can be done in a short period of time. With my level 40 strength, I can currently forge a one-word battle armor at most, and barely forge a two-word battle armor. As my strength improves, I will be able to forge a higher quality battle armor." "Come on, let's go back." Gu Yuena held Ye Qian'an's hand and walked towards Shrek Academy. After returning to Shrek Academy, the two walked side by side along Poseidon Lake. The moonlight sprinkled on the Poseidon Lake, making the waves sparkle. A breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness. The breeze was like a gentle caress, making people feel relaxed and happy. Little did they know that at this moment Zhou Yi's office was already in chaos. “Huo Yuhao, you’d better explain to me where you’ve been. You even dared to be late for school. Have you grown so powerful that you don’t even care about the school rules?” Zhou Yi angrily yelled at Huo Yuhao. The sound was deafening, as if it could blow the roof off the house. Huo Yuhao walked in front of Zhou Yi and Fan Yu, and fell to his knees with a plop. His voice was dull and resolute: “Teacher, I was wrong.” Zhou Yi was also surprised when she saw Huo Yuhao kneeling in front of her. The anger between the two was instantly reduced by more than half. In her memory, Huo Yuhao has always been a good boy who studies hard, is obedient and sensible. What's more, Huo Yuhao never lies. There must be a reason for his disappearance this time. Fan Yu said calmly: "Why?" Although his voice was calm, his eyes were full of confusion and concern. Huo Yuhao raised his head and said guiltily: "Teacher, I was wrong. I shouldn't have lied to you and Teacher Zhou. But I, I was afraid that you would worry, so I made up a lie and left. Because, when I left, I didn't know if I could come back." His voice trembled slightly, with deep self-blame. After hearing what Huo Yuhao said, Zhou Yi, who was originally furious, was instantly diverted. Zhou Yi couldn't help but said, "Is there anything that the academy can't help you solve? Do you have to face it alone? Do you think we won't help you if you tell us?" Although her tone was anxious, it was more of concern. Huo Yuhao shook his head gently and said, "I can't help you. There's something wrong with my martial soul. Teacher Zhou, do you remember? Teacher Wang once told us in class. For a soul master, the most terrifying thing is to have his martial soul shattered." His eyes revealed deep fear and helplessness. Zhou Yi was shocked, "What? Your Wu said..." Her voice became sharp because of shock. Huo Yuhao nodded and said, “At the end of last school year, I discovered that there was something wrong with my martial soul. My spiritual eye martial soul would make me feel dazed from time to time, and my martial soul even showed signs of breaking. At that moment, I remembered what Teacher Wang said. Teacher Wang said that if a martial soul is congenitally deficient and if one forces cultivation with low innate soul power, there is a very small chance that the martial soul will break. Once the martial soul breaks, it is a disaster for the soul master. At the very least, the soul power will be completely lost, and the martial soul will shatter and disappear. At worst, it will be life-threatening.” His voice became lower and lower, as if he had fallen into an abyss of despair. At this moment, Lian Fanyu's face changed. If his martial spirit was really broken, there was really no way to save it. Even a Titled Douluo couldn't change it. The martial soul is the inner core of every soul master. If there is a problem inside, no matter what rare materials and treasures are used, it will be useless. It is equivalent to being sentenced to death! "Yuhao, then you..." Fan Yu no longer cared about being angry, and asked with concern, his voice full of worry. Zhou Yi said unhappily: "He can kneel here peacefully, so he is obviously fine. Yuhao, go on." Although she said this, her eyes were full of tension. Huo Yuhao said: “In the days before graduation from the first grade, my feeling became more and more obvious, and I began to get scared. I was afraid that my martial soul would really be broken, and I was also afraid that I would let down the two teachers. I thought about it carefully, and finally decided not to tell you yet. If my martial soul is really broken, then nothing I say will be of any use. If it is not broken, I will definitely come back. So, I lied to the two teachers. I don’t want you to worry about me.” His voice was full of firmness and determination. "You...what can I say to you!" Fan Yu sighed, bent down and stretched out his hand, supported Huo Yuhao under the armpit, and helped him up from the ground. This child is too sensible. Facts have proved that the self-torture tactic, as long as it is used appropriately under any circumstances, can always produce unexpected results, especially for Huo Yuhao now, who used the self-torture tactic to fool Zhou Yi and Fan Yu. The meeting of the five people was naturally lively again. Huo Yuhao recounted the story he had told the other day vividly to the three people, but he did not tell them the age of his spirit ring for the time being. He was still anxiously waiting for news from Teacher Fan Yu. “Not bad, not bad.” Ye Qian’an raised his hand and patted Huo Yuhao’s shoulder gently, while at the same time leaking a trace of the Golden Dragon King’s bloodline into his sea of consciousness without leaving a trace. Huo Yuhao only felt an indescribable pressure coming at him instantly, but the blow was as light as a feather. However, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion in his spiritual sea suddenly fell into extreme panic. "This... is the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King! How can humans have the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King? Then the other one is the Silver Dragon King, the leader of the soul beasts." Bingdi frowned, his tone full of astonishment. "There is only one possibility now. If he is the one, then the Star Fighting Forest will make a big move." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said as it tried to calm down. During the elimination round, it faintly felt the breath of the Dragon God. Now with this breath, it can almost confirm Ye Qian'an's origin. …… "Since Teacher Fanyu agreed to help you stay, we feel relieved. Let's go and have breakfast together." Ye Qian'an looked at Huo Yuhao and smiled. There are only two cafeterias in the outer courtyard, one for the martial spirit department and one for the soul guidance department, so they all eat in the same cafeteria. However, the cafeteria is divided into different areas according to different grades. From the first grade to the second grade, Ye Qian'an and his classmates had to change their teaching building. They were originally in the white teaching building for freshmen and first graders. After re-enrolling, they moved to the yellow teaching building for second and third graders. Huo Yuhao did not report yesterday, but the other four were already familiar with the place. The five of them walked into the teaching building side by side, talking and laughing as they went straight to the second grade class one classroom on the first floor. As I was walking forward, I ran into three people, three familiar figures.
Dai Huabin looked taller and more powerful, and his originally cold expression seemed to have a more gloomy look. Zhu Lu, who was beside him, also looked more graceful. The girl was in her prime growth period, and her height was not much different from Dai Huabin. The other girl walking with them was naturally Cui Yajie, the Nine-tailed Fox Spirit Master. After Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu went to Class 2, she followed them, after all, they were in the same group during the freshman assessment. Ye Qian'an and his five companions saw Dai Huabin and his companions, and Dai Huabin and his three companions naturally saw them as well. Seeing Ye Qian'an and the others, Dai Huabin's face suddenly darkened. There was a long-standing grudge between them. During the freshman assessment, Ye Qian'an and Gu Yuena won a great victory. Later, because of Huo Yuhao's candidacy for class monitor, Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu were ruthlessly expelled by Zhou Yi. After losing the game, Dai Huabin was still able to remain calm. After all, Ye Qian'an and Gu Yuena were indeed very strong. He was not the kind of person who could not afford to lose. He always admired the strong. Ye Qian'an and Gu Yuena were obviously within the range of the strong people he recognized. However, being expelled from Class 1 by Zhou Yi was a great shame for him. …… (End of this chapter)
