Chapter 83 Handling the Aftermath
"Why are you so agitated? It would be dangerous if you fell." Seeing Wang Dong still looking a bit dazed and stiffly leaning against his right arm, Huo Yuhao put his hand on Wang Dong's shoulder and helped him up.
"You bastard!" Wang Dong slammed his head into Huo Yuhao's shoulder, sending Huo Yuhao staggering back several steps.
"Do you know how worried everyone was about you! Why did you lie to everyone!" Wang Dong glared angrily at Huo Yuhao, tears glistening in the corners of her eyes.
Wang Dong could never understand why Huo Yuhao wanted to hunt for a spirit ring alone. If Huo Yuhao had just asked, wouldn't the Shrek Academy teachers have helped him hunt for a spirit ring?
But Huo Yuhao insists on deceiving both sides, going to hunt souls alone! What does Huo Yuhao take them for?!
Huo Yuhao guiltily looked away, not daring to meet Wang Dong's eyes directly.
"Let's not talk about that now. I haven't sorted out my registration yet. I'm going to find Teacher Fanyu now!"
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao flashed past Wang Dong and headed towards the Soul Guidance Area.
"That guy!" Watching Huo Yuhao run away using Ghost Shadow Stalker, Wang Dong gritted his teeth and followed him.
She wanted to see how Huo Yuhao was going to explain this to the teacher!
"Although I can handle the reporting, the grade assessment is crucial for Huo Yuhao's advancement to the second year. If Huo Yuhao misses the grade assessment, then I'll have no choice but to try asking Dean Qian Duoduo. Dean Qian is more familiar with the school's rules and regulations; perhaps he can find a way..."
Upon entering the Soul Guidance Experiment Area, before even stepping into Fan Yu's office, Huo Yuhao heard Fan Yu's weary voice.
The office isn't soundproof; that's really low-class.
Even though Huo Yuhao already knew this, he still couldn't help but complain every time he saw it.
Well, in a fantasy world, those soundproofing methods from the previous life are completely unnecessary. Relying on materials for soundproofing is completely ineffective against the methods of a Soul Master. The truly confidential matters are transmitted through sound or using Soul Power to construct soundproof barriers.
"That kid Huo Yuhao is going to..."
Before Zhou Yi could even begin her furious speech, the knocking on the door interrupted her spellcasting.
"Come in!" Inside the office, Zhou Yi and Fan Yu both sensed that the aura outside should be Huo Yuhao.
"Teacher Fan, Teacher Zhou..." Huo Yuhao pushed open the door and entered, silently closing it behind him. Like a child who had done something wrong, he obediently walked to the desk, ready to face the "parents'" questioning.
Before Fan Yu could speak, the office door opened again, and Wang Dong, panting heavily, pushed it open and entered.
How can this guy run so fast...?
Looking up at the tense atmosphere in the office, especially the three pairs of eyes staring at him, Wang Dong's breathing became much lighter for some reason. Wang Dong tiptoed and slowly moved to the other side to join the interrogation of Huo Yuhao.
"Tell me, where have you been?" Seeing that Huo Yuhao had returned, Zhou Yi was no longer in such a hurry.
"I was supposed to be hunting for spirit rings, but I didn't expect it to take up so much time..."
Huo Yuhao chuckled awkwardly, pretending to be stupid.
"Hunting for a spirit ring? What kind of spirit ring requires deceiving both sides, keeping it a secret from all of us, and then going to hunt for it alone?" Zhou Yi was very dissatisfied with Huo Yuhao's evasive answer.
"It's just a thousand-year soul ring, there's nothing to hide."
"The soul beast I hunted wasn't in a very dangerous place, and it wasn't particularly aggressive. I figured I shouldn't waste the teachers' time, so I went alone..."
Huo Yuhao went out under the guise of Soul Hunting, and Zhou Yi asked about Soul Hunting. Even though he knew that Zhou Yi didn't actually want to ask about Soul Hunting, Huo Yuhao planned to play dumb and keep steer the conversation toward the topic of Soul Hunting.
"A thousand-year-old soul ring..."
Zhou Yi's eye twitched. Even if Huo Yuhao had been training every day for the past year, his physical fitness shouldn't have improved this much, right?
If the cards that have been revealed are already this big, then just how big must the secret this guy is desperately hiding be?
Anyway, Zhou Yi didn't believe that Huo Yuhao would go hunting for rings alone for such a ridiculous reason. Only a fool would believe that.
However, Zhou Yi didn't intend to delve into it further; everyone has their secrets.
"A thousand-year soul ring?!" Fan Yu and Wang Dong exclaimed in surprise.
Fan Yu was faking it, intending to cooperate with Huo Yuhao to tone down the topic and ignore the unreasonable parts.
As for Wang Dong...
Sigh, let's not talk about that silly goose.
"Yeah, after such a long period of reflection, my physical condition is now good enough to barely absorb a thousand-year-old spirit ring. Because I was worried that you guys wouldn't let me take the risk, I went alone." Huo Yuhao continued to talk nonsense.
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao summoned his Spirit Eye Martial Soul, revealing two soul rings, one white and one purple.
No matter how far-fetched Huo Yuhao's reasons are, it's fine as long as the listeners are willing to believe them; it's useless no matter how flawless his explanations are for those who don't want to believe them.
Clearly, of the three people present... two of them were willing to believe.
"How could you take such a risk... Your first spirit ring is only at the ten-year level, and the second one is already at the thousand-year level. If you exceed that level by even a fraction, your life could be in danger!"
Zhou Yi earnestly advised, "I know that your first ring is only at the tenth level, which has caused you to fall behind others. You want to catch up with your peers, but you can't be so reckless with your life. You can't take such risks anymore. Do you know how worried we are about you!"
"I'm so sorry, Ms. Fan, Ms. Zhou, and... Wang Dong, for making you worry!"
Huo Yuhao said very sincerely, and even bowed very formally to show his sincerity.
"It's good that you're back safe and sound," Fan Yu waved his hand and said, "Tell me about your second spirit ring."
After all, he still needs to help deal with Huo Yuhao's matter, so it would be good for both sides to exchange statements.
"My second spirit ring comes from a silkworm-like spirit beast in the far north, known as the Ice Silkworm Clan. On the surface, this spirit beast appears to be of the ice attribute, and the spirit skill that a normal ice attribute spirit master obtains is just a very ordinary ice silk with very average power. Therefore, very few spirit masters choose the Ice Silkworm as their spirit ring."
"But when I read through ancient books, I learned that there was a commoner Soul Master who, because no one helped him hunt for Souls and he lacked combat power, and was unwilling to spend his life in a daze with only a ten-year Soul Ring, could only try to find an Ice Silkworm with no offensive capabilities to be his first Soul Ring."
"In the end, he successfully found a hundred-year-old ice silkworm on the edge of the far north. Just as he was about to make a move, he discovered that the ice silkworm suddenly transformed into a tiger and pounced on him. In a panic, he could only fire crossbow bolts wildly at the tiger. In the end, the tiger disappeared, and an ice silkworm that had been killed by a hail of arrows lay directly on the spot. After absorbing the soul ring it gave birth to, he did not gain the skill of hiding his form."
"Later, when that Soul Master grew up, he mentioned this matter in his autobiography. He analyzed that the Ice Silkworm might also have a hidden spiritual attribute. However, spiritual attributes are rare, and not many people would be willing to go to the far north to hunt such a weak Soul Beast as the Ice Silkworm for a Soul Ring just for such a guess. This guess has never been confirmed and eventually came to nothing. This autobiography was also collected by the academy's seniors who collected information on Soul Beasts and put into the academy's library."
