Chapter 28 Junior, Please Stay
Chapter 28 Junior, Please Stay
Shrek Academy boasts a beautiful environment with lush vegetation.
As Huo Yuhao and Jiang Nannan stepped onto a magnificent long bridge, they could see six huge statues on both sides, which were the original Shrek Seven Devils from ten thousand years ago.
These statues are over ten meters tall and are all carved from the hardest granite.
Huo Yuhao's gaze fell on a statue with double pupils in its eyes and a king-shaped mark on its forehead.
He secretly chuckled to himself, thinking how ridiculous he was in his past life to actually think about "returning to his ancestral roots" and changing his surname back to Dai.
As for Tang San's statue, it stands at the end of the long bridge.
Huo Yuhao's gaze lingered for only a few seconds before he looked away.
Compared to these dead statues, my previous life self has proved that these gods are no different from myself, they feel fear and bleed just like me.
They walked south along the lakeside path for nearly fifteen minutes before turning west. After another fifteen minutes, the path began to narrow, revealing a wide, rectangular plaza.
Although it's the end of the new student recruitment season, the new student teaching building is still very lively, with many new students who have passed the assessment registering here.
"Alright, Yuhao, let me take you to pay your tuition."
Without saying a word, Jiang Nannan pulled Huo Yuhao into the freshman teaching building. After all, before leaving, Huo Yun'er had specifically instructed her to take good care of Huo Yuhao in the academy.
Huo Yuhao's application process went very smoothly, but because the registration time was very late, he was assigned to the Hibiscus Class.
However, this was Huo Yuhao's deliberate act, as he was currently unsure how to face Wang Dong'er.
Huo Yuhao couldn't tell whether some things were the work of fate or a deliberate arrangement, and he didn't even know if Wang Dong'er was actually Tang Wutong.
After receiving their dormitory keys, two sets of school uniforms, and a white freshman badge, Huo Yuhao and Jiang Nannan walked out of the freshman teaching building together.
Huo Yuhao turned around and whispered to Jiang Nannan:
"Nan Nan, I can go back to my dorm by myself. Aren't you busy with the entrance exams?"
"But, Yuhao..."
Jiang Nannan subconsciously wanted to take better care of Huo Yuhao, but when she thought of his calmness, she swallowed the words back and just gently reminded him:
"Alright then, Yuhao, remember to wait for me tonight. Sister Nannan will take you out for something delicious."
"Okay, sure."
Huo Yuhao nodded in agreement.
After watching Jiang Nannan's figure disappear from sight, Huo Yuhao finally spoke:
"Senior, you've been following us all this way, is something the matter?"
……
Ling Luochen emerged from around the corner of the freshman teaching building, a hint of surprise on her face. She clearly hadn't expected to be noticed by a first-year student.
Looking at the aloof and elegant Ling Luochen who walked out, Huo Yuhao felt an indescribable emotion welling up in his heart. The trajectory of fate is always so mysterious.
She had previously encountered Ning Tian, who had confessed his love to her at a matchmaking event in her past life, and now she had met Ling Luochen.
Ling Luochen's gaze fell on the handsome young man in front of him. Although his face was still somewhat immature, it glowed faintly in the sunlight, and his blue eyes were deep and bright.
She suppressed the inexplicable flutter in her heart, but still couldn't help but speak:
"Junior, I..."
Before Ling Luochen could finish speaking, Huo Yuhao pointed to the shimmering Sea God Lake not far away and suggested gently:
"Senior, why don't we walk along the lake and talk?"
Ling Luochen was reminded by him and then noticed that many people around them were casting curious glances, and everyone's eyes were focused on him and Huo Yuhao.
As an inner court student, her signature red academy uniform was clearly eye-catching in this setting.
A gentle breeze softly caressed the surface of Poseidon Lake, creating ripples. Looking into the distance, one could see the lush, ancient golden tree on Poseidon Island.
The two walked along the lakeside path, and for a moment, neither of them spoke.
An awkward silence quietly spread between the two.
Ling Luochen was naturally aloof and not good with words. At this moment, she was even slightly behind Huo Yuhao, looking like a wronged little wife. She hoped that Huo Yuhao would speak up to break the silence, but then she thought to herself, she was clearly five or six years older than him, how could she let a junior student accommodate her?
Huo Yuhao withdrew his gaze from the golden ancient tree on Seagod Island, his peripheral vision glancing at Ling Luochen beside him. He noticed her delicate brows furrowed, her face showing a mixture of conflict and unease, clearly lost in thought.
Huo Yuhao naturally knew what the other party was struggling with. He continued walking and stretched out his right hand. As his soul power surged, an extremely cold aura of ice and snow spread from his palm, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze into frost.
"Senior, are you trying to ask me what my martial soul is?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Luochen abruptly raised his head, a look of surprise flashing in his clear, icy blue eyes.
"Junior, is your martial soul truly the Ultimate Ice?"
Ling Luochen, who possesses the top-tier martial soul of ice element, can naturally sense that Huo Yuhao's martial soul quality far surpasses her own. She can even feel her own martial soul trembling constantly, a fear stemming from instinct.
If I were to encounter my opponent in a duel, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to unleash one-tenth of my strength.
Huo Yuhao gently clenched his right hand, and the extremely cold icy aura in his palm instantly dissipated.
"Alright, now that you know, senior, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
Upon hearing this, a sense of disappointment appeared in Ling Luochen's icy blue eyes.
Although his own martial spirit had been trembling, it had also revealed an extreme desire. It was a yearning for great power, and also an affinity for martial spirits of the same attribute.
She couldn't help but think that if she could practice with this junior fellow student, it would not only be of great benefit to her martial soul, but the speed of her cultivation improvement would definitely be much faster than it is now.
As a fellow ice-attribute soul master, my junior will surely understand me. Besides, I'm protecting my inexperienced junior. If that despicable Ma Xiaotao finds out, he probably won't be able to escape that woman's clutches.
Ling Luochen, who was also an inner court student, disliked Ma Xiaotao not only because of her germaphobia and the incompatibility of their martial souls, but more importantly because she had also been pulled in to suppress Ma Xiaotao's evil fire.
Although she was only about ten levels behind Ma Xiaotao in terms of soul power, and her ice element martial soul was only slightly weaker than the opponent's Evil Fire Phoenix in terms of quality, she still felt great pain during the suppression process.
While you may gain some benefits after suppressing the other party's evil fire, it's really unnecessary to suffer for those small gains.
Although the junior in front of him possessed the ultimate ice martial soul, his soul power level was still far inferior to Ma Xiaotao's.
If the academy's higher-ups were to drag him away to suppress the evil fire, he would likely suffer inhuman torture.
That's right, Ling Luochen, you're rescuing your clueless junior. Although it does contain a little bit of selfishness, your junior will definitely understand.
After repeatedly reminding himself in his heart, Ling Luochen finally showed a gentle smile on his face:
"Junior, please wait a moment."
