Chapter 31 Huo Yuhao almost burned to death by Ma Xiaotao? The Dark World Soul Masters are furious, what are Shrek Academy doing?
Above the sky, the images continued to shift.
The days that followed seemed to trap Huo Yuhao in a vicious cycle.
[Early in the morning, before dawn, I have to get up and rush to the classroom, even if my whole body aches.]
During the day, Zhou Yi's classes consisted of dry, tedious theory lessons, and her unwavering commitment to running laps.
[After class in the evening, while other students went to the cafeteria for dinner, returned to their dormitories to rest, or practiced their soul skills with each other, Huo Yuhao had to rush out of the school gate without stopping to set up his grilled fish stall.]
[Amidst the smoke and fire, welcoming and seeing off guests.]
It wasn't until late at night, when the moon was high in the sky, that he dragged his leaden legs back to his dormitory.
After a quick wash, without even a minute of leisure time, I immediately sat cross-legged and seized the last bit of time to meditate and cultivate, using meditation to replace sleep.
These rapidly edited scenes brought a pang of sadness to the hearts of the Soul Masters in the Dark World.
"This child... has suffered so much."
A female Soul Master couldn't help but cover her mouth.
"This isn't going to school, it's clearly a struggle for survival."
"Yes, it's the age to lay the foundation, and the body is still developing."
"Huo Yuhao from the White World eats the flesh of ferocious beasts, soaks in medicinal baths, and practices divine skills every day."
"What about Huo Yuhao in the underworld? He eats basic meals, trains only to become a muscle, and still has to worry about his food money for tomorrow."
"Even if he has a strong will, his body will eventually break down if this continues, right?"
This visible overdraft is heartbreaking for everyone.
Despite being a promising talent, the harsh environment forced him to waste a lot of energy just trying to survive.
However, even in this bleak life, there is still a glimmer of light.
That was his roommate, Wang Dong.
Although at the beginning of the semester, this arrogant young man established a series of domineering rules such as "no bringing anyone back to the dormitory" and "no going shirtless," making him seem like an unapproachable spoiled brat.
But as time went on, people discovered that Wang Dong was actually a cold-faced but warm-hearted person.
Seeing how hard Huo Yuhao worked every day, Wang Dong might have complained, but his actions betrayed his true feelings.
Sometimes when Huo Yuhao came home late, Wang Dong would casually leave him a late-night snack.
Sometimes, when Huo Yuhao was too tired from cleaning, Wang Dong would help him while complaining.
Most importantly, with Wang Dong chattering away by his side, Huo Yuhao's dull and monotonous life finally gained a touch of youthful vitality. Although the two often bickered, their camaraderie as classmates proved invaluable during these difficult days.
Seeing this, the audience's expressions relaxed slightly.
"Thank goodness, I have a good roommate."
"This Wang Dong is actually a pretty good guy. Although he's a bit arrogant, he's very loyal when it matters."
"Yes, if it weren't for Wang Dong's company, Huo Yuhao's life would be too depressing. This is probably the only comfort in the underworld."
However, the plot never stays pleasantly comfortable all the time.
[This is a rare day off.]
Seeing that Huo Yuhao was about to go back to cultivation, Wang Dong grabbed him.
"Hey, are you a blockhead? All you do all day is cultivate and grill fish," Wang Dong said irritably. "Come on, I'll take you out for some fresh air! If you keep practicing like this, you'll go insane before you even succeed."
Huo Yuhao couldn't resist him and was pulled out of the dormitory.
The two, bickering and teasing each other, arrived at Shrek Academy's most famous attraction—Poseidon Lake.
The lake was wide and shimmering, and a gentle breeze brought refreshing mist.
For Huo Yuhao, who had been constantly on edge, this was indeed a rare moment of relaxation. He took a deep breath, looked at the beautiful scenery before him, and a long-lost relaxed smile appeared on his face.
"How about it? Much better than your smoky oven, right?" Wang Dong proudly raised his chin.
However, just as the two were enjoying this moment of peace—
[A sudden change has occurred!]
The once calm lake surface suddenly rippled violently. A scorching heat erupted without warning from the lake's depths, instantly evaporating a large amount of water and turning it into billowing white mist.
"What's going on?" Wang Dong's expression changed, and he instinctively stepped in front of Huo Yuhao.
The next second, a red figure, like a runaway meteor, waded through the lake water, carrying terrifying heat and a violent aura, charging straight towards the two people on the shore!
The figure moved with incredible speed; wherever it passed, the lake water boiled and the air distorted. The wave of heat that swept over them even caused the vegetation on the shore to wither and curl instantly!
The soul masters of the underworld widened their eyes instantly, each one somewhat dumbfounded.
"Holy crap! What the hell is that thing?"
"The heat is terrifying! I can feel the suffocation even through the screen!"
"This...this is inside Shrek Academy, right? And that's the shore of Seagod Lake, isn't it? How could such an extremely dangerous thing have rushed out?"
"That red figure looks like a Soul Master? But judging from its state, it's completely out of control! Has it gone mad from its cultivation?"
[In the scene, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were also completely dumbfounded.]
[After all, they were only first- and second-ring Soul Masters. Faced with this terrifying pressure from someone at least a Soul Emperor, the two were like two tiny ants facing a giant dragon, barely able to move.]
"Run!" Wang Dong shouted, trying to spread the wings of the Goddess of Light butterfly on his back and fly away with Huo Yuhao.
But it's too late.
The red figure arrived in an instant, and the terrifying heatwave, like a solid wall, slammed the two of them to the ground.
At close range, they finally saw clearly: it was a woman engulfed in flames, her eyes bloodshot, her mind clouded, like a wild beast that knew only slaughter and destruction!
"It's so hot...it's so hot..."
The woman let out a painful scream, instinctively seeking an outlet for her emotions. Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, who were closest to her, undoubtedly became her "prey."
The shadow of death instantly loomed over the two boys.
At this moment, the hearts of audiences across the mainland were in their throats.
"It's over! It's really over!"
"The gap is too huge! They simply can't compete with this!"
"Where are Shrek's teachers? Where are the patrols? Why isn't anyone doing anything about it?"
"Two freshmen were taking a walk by the lake on their own campus, and they were about to be killed by a madman? That's absurd!"
Just as the flames were about to engulf Huo Yuhao...
Just as Wang Dong closed his eyes in despair...
[In Huo Yuhao's sea of consciousness, the dormant voice suddenly awoke.]
"Oh dear, what bad luck! I finally found a host, and if you get burned to death, I'll be left starving again!"
[Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm!]
At that moment, an extreme chill suddenly erupted from Huo Yuhao's body!
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm directly subdued its opponent.
However, Huo Yuhao, having exhausted all his strength, fainted while holding Wang Dong.
The crisis for Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong has been averted in the scene.
However, this time, the Soul Masters of the Underworld did not feel fortunate that the crisis had been resolved.
On the contrary, an uncontrollable rage instantly erupted across the entire continent!
Why would something like this happen at Shrek?
What exactly are the administrators of Shrek Academy doing?
