Chapter 95: Major Factions Shaken, Storms Rising
"..."
Warned by Fu Hua's sharp gaze, Kiana no longer dared to be distracted. She straightened her posture, focused her eyes forward, and began training seriously.
Seeing Kiana's seriousness, Fu Hua withdrew her gaze. She turned her head toward the distance, and upon recalling her own cursed "non-luck" constitution, her heart welled up with tears.
Once more, she swept an envious, jealous glare at the naturally blessed "lucky saint" Kiana.
Kiana, feeling that look again:
'???'
'What now? Why is class monitor staring at me again? I'm not distracted anymore!'
Just as Kiana was puzzled, Fu Hua suddenly sensed movement in the chat group. She opened it and saw a private message from Wu Tong. Her pupils contracted—it had finally come.
Fu Hua had been waiting for Wu Tong's message all this time. To her, Wu Tong was a future ally who could help them resist the Honkai, and she would not treat him lightly.
Now, upon receiving Wu Tong's words, she immediately replied:
[Red Kite Immortal]: Tomorrow I'm free. Mr. Wu Tong, what time are you planning to come? We'll prepare.
[Seeker]: Around noon, perhaps a bit later.
[Red Kite Immortal]: Alright, we'll be ready to welcome you at noon.
[Seeker]: There's no need to prepare…
Fu Hua didn't see the rest of Wu Tong's message.
At that moment, learning that Wu Tong would arrive in her world tomorrow, Fu Hua felt her heart tremble with excitement.
Would the power of the Douluo World be useful against the Honkai? She was about to find out.
Even if it wasn't, forming a bond with Wu Tong was vital. Beyond wanting to obtain revival coins from him, there was also the matter of Honkai itself. One day, they might need Wu Tong's help to overcome it.
Having read novels and gained deep understanding of transmigrators and "cheaters," Fu Hua thought this through carefully.
She immediately strode out, hurrying toward the academy dean's office.
The three little ones were left behind, staring blankly at Fu Hua's departing back.
They exchanged glances, completely confused.
Class monitor was acting really strange today.
…
A few minutes later, Fu Hua, rushing at full speed, arrived outside the dean's office.
Bang~
The door, locked from the inside, was smashed open by Fu Hua's urgency.
???
!!!
Inside, Theresa, who had been sneaking a look at Houm comics, was startled. Realizing someone was about to come in, she instantly reacted, seizing the comics.
The Dean's Dignity Defense Secret Art—Bankai Shatter.
With hand movements so fast they blurred, the Houm comic was shredded into quark-sized particles.
She hastily straightened her clothes, smoothing out every wrinkle.
Then she sat upright, her eyes fixed firmly on the door.
When Fu Hua entered, she saw Theresa dressed neatly, staring solemnly at the entrance.
Knowing Theresa's true nature from the story, Fu Hua instantly guessed what she had been doing.
But she didn't expose her—such trifles were unimportant now.
Fu Hua immediately explained about Wu Tong's impending visit.
Hearing this, Theresa also grew serious, and the two began discussing how best to welcome him.
…
…
Destiny Headquarters.
"Hehe, my old friend, I really must thank you for telling me this good news. So, he's coming tomorrow?"
"Then I must prepare a proper welcoming ceremony…"
Otto looked at the screen, a faint smile appearing on his face.
"Amber, go make the preparations. Tomorrow I'll head to the Far East branch together with Durandal and the others."
Amber, his secretary, showed no surprise at all. Without a change in expression, she quietly carried out Otto's orders.
…
World Serpent base.
Shencheng Pharmaceuticals.
Gray Serpent, hidden beneath his cloak, stared at the information transmitted by the mole in the Far East. After a long silence, he turned and left.
The direction he went—straight toward Raven's tavern.
…
Anti-Entropy.
"Chicken coop head, did you hear? Tomorrow, someone from that so-called dimensional chat group is apparently coming here."
Tesla, the "lobster doctor," glanced at Einstein beside her.
"I heard. Why? Are you planning to go, Dr. Tesla?" Einstein asked, calm as ever.
"I'd love to go, but I really can't leave right now. Let Walter go instead."
"All because of that damned Cocolia—pulling such a huge stunt. Now I'm still stuck cleaning up her mess."
"And that bastard Otto too—"
…
For a moment, the winds shifted.
The entire Honkai world began to stir. All the factions who learned of Wu Tong's arrival set their own plans in motion.
If Wu Tong had seen this scene, he would have sighed:
"As expected of Saint Freya's information exchange network—nothing surprising at all."
——
Leaving aside the storms brewing in the Honkai world…
Wu Tong noticed Fu Hua hadn't replied for a long time. He realized she must not have seen his last message and had probably already gone off to make preparations.
Sigh~
Wu Tong gave a helpless sigh. "Sleep, then."
After chatting and informing the group of what needed to be done, Wu Tong felt a rare sense of weariness.
Not long after, heavy drowsiness pulled him into dreamland.
The night passed without incident…
——
The next day.
Roosters crowed and the sun rose high.
In the early morning, thin mist shrouded the entire Valley of Twilight.
Golden sunlight poured down, scattering across the haze, refracting through the sparse water vapor above into bands of rainbow light.
The seven-colored glow fell upon the nearly translucent maple leaves of the Jade Ridge Grove, casting a dreamlike brilliance across the land.
The contrast of the colorful sky and the white mist below should have clashed, yet together they formed a unique beauty.
It was as though the words "dreamlike forest" and "immortal radiance" had merged into one, making the whole valley even more ethereal.
This scene was witnessed by the early-rising maids, who could not help but exclaim in clear, bell-like voices of praise.
After their excitement passed, each returned to her duties. Once their tasks were done, they patrolled the academy grounds, taking in its beauty like a realm of immortals.
Wu Tong, still asleep, knew nothing of this.
By the time he awoke, the sun was already high.
He followed the same routine as always—dressing, washing, eating.
With his strength now, Wu Tong no longer needed food or sleep to maintain himself.
But he had no intention of changing his lifestyle. He had no wish to become some aloof immortal untouched by the mortal world. His dream was to remain a common man.
And for a common man, eating, drinking, playing, and sleeping—wasn't that the most natural thing?
When everything was done, it was already around noon.
Wu Tong looked up at the sky, gauged the time, then summoned the girls together.
He gave his instructions: "Xiao Yun, I'll be away for a while. I should be back in about seven days. During this time, you'll be in charge of managing the academy."
He looked at Nangong Yun, standing at the front of the group, as he spoke.
