Following the admission manual, Huo Yuhao found the dormitory building assigned to him. He exchanged a glance with Gu Yuena, who had also been walking with the manual in hand the entire way, then looked around.
This place was located in a quiet corner of the campus, surrounded by tall trees. The environment was secluded and peaceful. The dormitory building's exterior was simple and generous. The walls were mainly in an elegant beige color, paired with dark brown wooden window frames.
Even though it was the first day of the term, there were no other students near this dormitory building besides them. Clearly, this dormitory building currently had only the two of them as tenants.
This was a single dormitory or rather, a teacher's dormitory not the four-person dormitory building where most students lived.
Gu Yuena blinked and tilted her head to look at Huo Yuhao. "Special treatment for us?"
"No. At least, not entirely." Huo Yuhao shook his head. "Other people will probably move into this dormitory building later. We just reserved it in advance."
This should be similar to the original's Class Zero. Yu Zhen probably wanted to concentrate resources to cultivate some gifted students. The two of them were merely enjoying various privileges including the single dormitory before them because of their talent and background.
Gu Yuena glanced at the manual upon hearing this. "Mine is 202. See you later?"
"...I'm 201. Next to you."
Huo Yuhao finished speaking and walked toward the dormitory building. Gu Yuena paused for a moment, then followed.
So they were neighbors... Well, with only two people, how else could they be arranged?
The first floor contained meditation rooms and supporting testing rooms. The second floor and above were where the living quarters were located.
Standing at his own door, Huo Yuhao opened it and looked around carefully.
The dormitory room's layout was reasonable, with good lighting. Through the window, he could see the lush green campus scenery outside. The room's layout was simple. A large desk was placed in front of the window. A bookshelf stood against the wall, and next to it was the bed.
It couldn't compare to the place the Spirit Transmission Tower had arranged for him, of course. But compared to when he had sneaked into various academies to study ten thousand years ago, the conditions were much better.
Huo Yuhao walked to the bookshelf, took out various books he had prepared from his storage ring, selected some that were not very important, and placed them on the shelf one by one.
Next, he took out some prepared daily necessities civilian soul tools.
After spending some time setting up, Huo Yuhao changed into the Eastsea Academy uniform and read for a while. Just then, there was a knock on his door.
When Huo Yuhao opened the door, Gu Yuena stood at the doorway. Looking up at him with her bright, spirited eyes, she said:
"Shall we go to the cafeteria together? This is my first time in a place like an academy."
Huo Yuhao looked at Gu Yuena, who had also changed into the school uniform and seemed to be genuinely here to experience academy life. His feelings were complicated and complicated.
From the moment she had entered the academy, she seemed to have forgotten their identities, interacting with him simply as a fellow student... Although this was indeed more relaxed, it still felt a bit strange.
Come to think of it, according to Teacher Hua, Tianfeng Douluo had sent Gu Yuena here initially to escape the various distractions at headquarters and to investigate him. But this one seemed to be genuinely here... to go to school?
Your Majesty the Silver Dragon King, you've already joined the Spirit Transmission Tower. Instead of doing proper work, is it really okay for you to come here for ordinary schooling?
Thinking this, Huo Yuhao nodded. "Alright."
There were currently no irreconcilable conflicts between the Star Dou Great Forest and humanity. Since ten thousand years ago, the Star Dou Great Forest's forest area had never decreased worlds apart from the original, where only a core core zone remained. Gu Yuena really didn't need to take the path of the "Ten Thousand Beast Platform" to end humanity.
However, Gu Yuena's strength made it difficult for Huo Yuhao to relax. He always wanted to keep a few extra tricks up his sleeve just in case. But in daily daily interactions, he would maintain a normal attitude.
And seeing Huo Yuhao agreed, Gu Yuena secretly sighed in relief.
It seemed she had not misunderstood. This God King was indeed enjoying this period of his life, intending to live as an ordinary spirit master.
In the future, he would probably also stand out as a core disciple of the Spirit Transmission Tower to confront the Abyss Plane. Unless necessary, he would not reveal his true self.
Thus, she should interact with him ordinarily and build a relationship. There was no need to rush.
On the way to the cafeteria, Huo Yuhao saw two young boys walking toward them. Hearing their conversation, his expression shifted slightly.
"Thank you, Xie Xie. If you hadn't stopped us from fighting back at the dormitory, I might have broken more things and had to pay even more money. When I have money, I'll treat you to a meal." Tang Wulin thanked the boy beside him.
"Treat me to a meal? I'm afraid you'll eat me along with the food. I've never seen anyone eat as much as you. You just took 80 big meat buns, didn't you? No wonder you're so strong... And when you thank me, don't say my name with it. It sounds weird!"
Xie Xie glanced at Tang Wulin with a cold and stern expression.
Tang Wulin smiled. "Okay, thank you."
"I said, stop calling my name!"
"..." Tang Wulin looked at Xie Xie, quite speechless. The latter also realized what had happened. His cold and cold expression faded. He awkwardly looked away, inwardly annoyed.
He had said this name was no good. He was going to change it sooner or later!!!
Tang Wulin and Xie Xie...
Huo Yuhao glanced at the calm Gu Yuena, then quickly looked away.
Tang Wulin stopped looking at Xie Xie and turned his head forward. He happened to see two fellow students.
Both of their appearances could only be called ordinary — at best, delicate — yet each had a unique temperament.
"Hello." Tang • No Longer a Pushover • Wulin took the initiative to greet them.
Although he had encountered some unpleasant things today and had broken some things at the academy, requiring him to pay compensation, some classmates had helped him, and the academy's teachers had been very reasonable, willing to give him an extension on the compensation time.
Overall, Tang Wulin felt that there were bad people in the city, but there were even more good people!
"Hello."
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly. Gu Yuena nodded coldly, considered a greeting. They walked past them.
One did not strike a smiling face. Xie Xie had been ready to greet them as well, but seeing Gu Yuena's expression, his movements paused. He curled his lip. "So cold and indifferent. She probably has good talent. I wonder which class she'll be placed in."
"Eh? Class placement?" Tang Wulin was startled. "What do you mean?"
"This academy places students by talent. I'll definitely be in Class One. As for you..."
Thinking of Tang Wulin's Spirit Transmission Tower spatial soul tool, Xie Xie said somewhat uncertainly: "We'll see tomorrow. I don't know either."
"Oh." Tang Wulin's expression fell.
His talent wasn't good... He hoped he could be placed in a good class.
After they had walked a sufficient distance away, Gu Yuena saw Huo Yuhao withdraw his gaze from Tang Wulin and suddenly transmitted her voice to ask: "Sir, is the divine core inside him?"
Compressed sound transmission was generally impossible for a Great Spirit Master to achieve. But for her, it was no challenge at all.
Huo Yuhao was not surprised. He nodded slightly.
His earlier glance toward Gu Yuena had been an intentional reminder. Since they were restricting each other, it was best to let each side know of the other's existence to prevent this one from being caught off guard.
Seeing him nod, Gu Yuena's brow furrowed tightly.
In her earlier exchange with Huo Yuhao, she had learned that the Golden Dragon King still had a divine core remaining, that the one beside her knew its location, and that he had not taken it.
What did this mean? It meant that the divine core was on the Douluo Continent, and possibly even in the vicinity of Eastsea City.
She had not sensed the Golden Dragon King's bloodline from Tang Wulin just now. But the contents of Tang Wulin and Xie Xie's conversation strange appetite, great strength combined with Huo Yuhao's movements of looking at her for no apparent reason, had led her to this association. That was why she had asked.
And who could have sealed the Golden Dragon King's divine core inside an ordinary person's body?
It could only be one of the five great God Kings of the Divine Realm!
