Wang Donger nodded and said, As long as you rember who you are.
Huo Yuhao chuckled and replied, Youre everything that I am. Im hungry, dear.
Lets go grab a bite to eat.
Wang Donger pushed Huo Yuhao into the canteen. When they entered the canteen, Huo Yuhao was pleasantly surprised to see a familiar figure.
Bei Beis face was still a little pale, but he was nonetheless sitting alongside everyone else. Huo Yuhao imdiately exclaid excitedly when he saw him, Eldest senior brother!
Bei Bei smiled and said, How are you feeling? You must be quite exhausted from yesterday. From what I hear, you havent even had breakfast yet.
Wang Donger pushed Huo Yuhao next to Bei Bei and then sat down next to him.
Huo Yuhao asked, How are your wounds, eldest senior brother?
Bei Bei answered, Both the aura and darkness energy have finally been completely expelled. I should be alright once I recover so of my vitality.
Thats fantastic! Huo Yuhao said animatedly, I can finally heave a sigh of relief. Ill be a lot more relaxed with you around to lead our company of eight.
Bei Bei smiled faintly and said, Im afraid that itll be quite difficult for you to relax. Well be facing off against Shrek Academys team tomorrow. What do you have in mind?
Huo Yuhao pondered montarily, before saying, I was just about to discuss this with everyone. Were stronger than they are when it cos to overall fighting strength, but I want to let them co out on top as we enter the next round just in case. If we do that, their opponents in the quarterfinals will be relatively weaker.
There would be four different matches in the quarter-finals. Even though the matchups in the quarter-finals had yet to be determined. However, all it took to decide them was a simple lottery, and all four quarter-final matches would consist of the number-one of one group against the number-two of the second group. This also ant that, if the Tang Sect progressed as the second-place team in their group, theyd be matched against a team that had topped the table in their group. Following this reasoning, there was a one-in-three chance that the Tang Sect would co up against the Holy Ghost Sect in the quarter-finals.
However, if Shrek Academy topped the table and entered the quarterfinals, theyd be up against a second-placed team from another group, which would greatly reduce their burden.
Bei Bei turned to his companions and said, Tell what you guys think.
Jiang Nannan was the first to speak. I stand by my words. We belong to Shrek, thus were all part of their team. No matter how far we go this ti, weve already gained the glory and honor that we deserve. However, Shrek Academys team has to reach the finals to keep their glory and honor. I agree with Huo Yuhaos suggestion.
She turned around to face Xu Sanshi after her comnt.
Xu Sanshi felt a little helpless. Whyre you looking at ? Am I not from Shrek Academy as well? I agree with you.
Agreed. He Caitous answer was a lot simpler.
I agree. Xiao Xiao was a little louder than usual, but she fully displayed her determination.
Wang Donger nodded and chid in, I agree.
Bei Bei smiled and said, Alright, its settled then. We shall take these few days to adjust our conditions, especially you, Yuhao. Even if I take part in the battle, youre still the core of the team, as well as Shreks Seven Monsters mastermind.
Alright. Huo Yuhao nodded.
Lets dig in. Bei Bei continued with a smile on his face, as their sumptuous als were already laid out on the dining table.
------
With Bei Bei finally feeling better, everybody was in a good mood today. This al was especially enjoyable for everyone.
Bei Bei called Huo Yuhao into his room after the al.
Hows it going with the soul engineers tournant, Yuhao? Bei Bei inquired.
Huo Yuhao glanced at Wang Donger beside him before briefly recounting their participation in the soul engineers tournant. Bei Bei listened quietly to his description; he didnt even interrupt when Huo Yuhao ntioned necromancy.
You want to go undercover? Bei Bei asked doubtfully.
Huo Yuhao nodded and answered, I do. But Donger thinks that that will be too dangerous, thus she stopped .
Bei Bei said, Thats for the best, because it is too dangerous. I know that you want to find out and investigate whats going on in their inner circle, but the Holy Ghost Church has already displayed strength beyond what we can deal with. Theyre simply too powerful; we dont stand a chance. Furthermore, mobility is a problem for you, and your wheelchair is too conspicuous. Even if you can put on makeup and change your appearance, it wont be hard for them to connect the dots if you appear too many tis. This is especially true now that were likely to fight the Holy Ghost Sects team after this. You shouldnt attend the grand finals. Rather, since youve already raised their suspicions, you should just disappear for now.
Huo Yuhao frowned slightly and said, I dont think thats necessary, eldest senior brother. The Duskwater Alliance still needs to fight for them in the soul engineer tournant. Furthermore, they want to rope into their organization as well, so they wont use force against unless its as a last resort. I shouldnt have any problems finishing the last round of the tournant if I respond correctly and adapt to the circumstances. The final prize is a Class 9 soul tool! Thats not sothing that can be asured with money.
Bei Bei replied solemnly, You cant place your life on the line for money.
Huo Yuhao smiled and shook his head. I have confidence, eldest senior brother. Second senior brother and Donger will co with when the ti cos. Even if I dont consider my life, I still have to take their lives into account, right?
Bei Bei stared at Huo Yuhao with a surprised expression. Where is this confidence of yours coming from, little junior brother?
Huo Yuhao answered, Eldest senior brother, I ntioned the things that I did when I was recounting yesterdays events to you because I dont wish to hide this from you... I obtained a very unique ability through a miraculous encounter. It can be counted as my third martial soul in a sense, and it has bestowed certain special abilities upon . This special ability doesnt belong to our world, which is why I have the confidence to escape with my life whenever Im in danger. I did intend to take a risk when I went undercover before yesterday, but after consolidating these unique abilities last night, I dont think that Im taking a risk anymore. Donger, I said the sa thing to you. If youre too concerned about , I can simply take you along with when I go undercover.
Wang Donger felt a little curious when she heard his words. She knew very well that Huo Yuhao would never ss around whenever her life was concerned, which ant that he must be extrely confident if he could make such an endeavor sound so riskless.
You promised last night! Wang Dongers pretty eyebrows knitted up as she stared at Huo Yuhao with indignant eyes.
Huo Yuhao grasped her hand and said, Listen to , Donger. I wish to go undercover not just to investigate the Holy Ghost Church, but also to find a way to save teacher Xiao Ya. Nobody but is more suitable for this job amongst the few of us, and thats because Im the only one that has the ability to go undercover in the Holy Ghost Church. Only I have absolute confidence in convincing them that Im an evil soul master. As for safety, how about thisId like you guys to see sothing.
A gloomy and cold aura suddenly erupted from Huo Yuhaos body, followed by a peculiar grey soul ring rising from his feet in the next mont.
This was the first ti that Bei Bei had seen Huo Yuhao use necromancy, thus he watched closely with widened eyes as he perceived Huo Yuhaos soul power undulations.
Huo Yuhaos eyes beca a faint grey color, and he pointed his right index finger outwards as he drew sothing in the air. A strange grey hexagram appeared and sparkled as it drifted to the ground. Gray light glowed from it the mont after it touched the ground, after which it consud Huo Yuhaos entire body and he vanished into thin air. Even his wheelchair was gone.
Wang Donger was as close as she could be to Huo Yuhao, and she was also incredibly familiar with his abilities. She could imdiately tell that Huo Yuhao wasnt using his Imitation or anything else to turn invisiblehed actually disappeared for real!
A dense aura of light rose from Wang Dongers body as her Radiant Butterfly Goddess wings extended from her back. She flapped her wings gently, and light-type soul power imdiately perated every corner of the room.
She didnt feel anything at all; Huo Yuhao was truly no longer present inside of the room!
How is this possible? Instant Teleportation? Huo Yuhao does have that ability, but thats one of his soul bones abilities. He ntioned before that he cant use his other soul skills or soul bones when hes practicing necromancy. How has he done this? Hes disappeared completely! Its been more than ten seconds, and he doesnt look like hes going to appear yet either.
Just when Bei Bei and Wang Donger were beginning to feel more and more dumbfounded, the grey hexagram reappeared on the ground in the sa spot. Grey light surged into the air in the next mont, and Huo Yuhao reappeared before the two of them amidst the grey light with a swoosh.
Bei Bei and Wang Donger exchanged a look, both of their gazes full of awe and astonishnt.
Bei Bei was the first to blurt out, What kind of ability was that?
Huo Yuhao smiled and replied, This ability is a little mystical, but you can consider it sothing that my otherworldly teacher left behind for . Eldest senior brother, do you rember the first ti I t you and teacher Xiao Ya? I had ventured into the Great Star Dou Forest by myself back then, and when you guys found , I was unconscious near the roadside. Im not sure if you rember, but dark clouds hung over the Great Star Dou Forest during that ti, and an intense spiritual presence flashed through the forest.
Huo Yuhao could tell from Bei Beis eyes that he was thinking hard. Bei Bei nodded after a mont and said, I do rember sothing like that happening. We imdiately followed you when we realized that you were heading towards the Great Star Dou Forest, but you were already unconscious when we found you.
Huo Yuhao nodded. Yes! Id already fainted by then. But before I fainted, soone entered my mind. That person is the teacher that Im talking aboutthe one from another world.
