Chapter 65: A Slightly Extensive Connection
"…Huh?"
Huo Yuhao froze for a moment.
What teacher?
What guidance?
What classmates?
Seeing Huo Yuhao's confused expression, Zhang Lexuan smiled gently and patiently explained.
"Before coming here, I applied to become the head teacher of your class. So for the next few years, I'll be guiding you. Don't worry—the Inner Academy has approved it as well."
This plan had been prepared ever since Huo Yuhao's enrollment at Shrek Academy was confirmed a year ago. For this reason, Yan Shaozhe, Dean of the Battle Spirit Department, had even thought Zhang Lexuan had become as lukewarm as Elder Xuan Zi and had come to persuade her multiple times. It wasn't until Elder Mu En personally approved the plan that things were finalized.
Speaking of which, Zhang Lexuan's lips curved into a mysterious smile as she reached out to pat his shoulder.
"I heard that during the freshman assessment, the competition between classes was pretty fierce. This is also my first time being a teacher, so I'm counting on you, Yuhao."
Though her words were casual, there was not a trace of nervousness on her face.
Of course, Zhang Lexuan had witnessed firsthand the scene where Huo Yuhao had crushed a group of evil spirit masters.
A mere batch of freshmen? Huo Yuhao's entering that arena would be nothing short of a massacre.
"All right, that's all for now. I still have some things to attend to, so I'll be going. See you the day after tomorrow. Oh, by the way…"
As if recalling something, Zhang Lexuan suddenly turned and lowered her voice, leaning close to Huo Yuhao's ear.
"Your Ice-attribute Spirit, is it Ultimate?"
Huo Yuhao had nothing to hide and nodded straightforwardly.
Upon seeing this, a spark of delight appeared in Zhang Lexuan's eyes. After a brief pause, she continued.
"It's like this: I have a friend whose Spirit has some problems. Every time she cultivates, evil flames arise, and at its worst, it can affect her consciousness. A high-quality Ice Spirit can suppress it, so I was hoping you could help her."
"But don't worry, you won't do it for free. I'll discuss with her so you'll receive proper compensation."
Huo Yuhao immediately realized who she was talking about. Recalling how in his previous life, every time he suppressed the evil flames, he and she would unconsciously end up holding each other… the thought of receiving compensation from Ma Xiaotao made him feel slightly awkward.
Clearing his throat, Huo Yuhao forced a wry smile.
"No need for compensation. I'm just glad to help."
Zhang Lexuan laughed lightly, gently ruffling Huo Yuhao's hair.
"Then let me thank you on my friend's behalf. Once classes officially start, I'll bring her to see you."
"Sure."
Only after Zhang Lexuan left the classroom did Huo Yuhao come to his senses and prepare to leave with Gu Yuena.
"Shall we head to the dormitory?"
However, when he glanced at her, he noticed Gu Yuena watching Zhang Lexuan's departing figure. Her eyes flickered, lost in thought.
"What is it?"
"Nothing."
Gu Yuena shook her head, her tone carrying an inexplicable weight.
"Just marveling at how extensive some people's connections really are."
Huo Yuhao's expression twitched. Taking her hand, he led her out.
"When you're out in the world, you help others when you can. After all, I was once helped by friends all along the way."
Gu Yuena couldn't help but glance at him sideways. "You're sure those people just wanted to be friends?"
"Huh?"
Huo Yuhao blinked. "What do you mean?"
"Nothing."
She paused slightly. Then Huo Yuhao felt her grip on his hand tighten unexpectedly, as if afraid he might get lost—or worse, be taken away.
"I want an ice pop."
Naturally, there was nowhere in the Academy to buy one.
But as an Ultimate Ice Spirit Master, Huo Yuhao could make one effortlessly.
Mixing some syrup and juice, inserting a stick, and freezing it, he handed the finished ice pop to Gu Yuena.
Since that day, after buying ice pops twice, all of Gu Yuena's ice pops were made by Huo Yuhao.
Glancing at the approaching white freshman dormitory, Huo Yuhao subconsciously looked toward a certain spot—but the figure of the elderly man sunbathing in a deck chair was nowhere to be seen.
Sensing Huo Yuhao's emotional fluctuation, Gu Yuena tilted her head.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
Taking a deep breath, Huo Yuhao shook his head with a smile. Just as they were about to enter the dormitory, a pink-and-blue figure suddenly appeared in his line of sight, causing him to pause.
The girl was tall, her long pink-and-blue hair flowing down to her waist. Unlike the previous life, when she had disguised herself as a boy, this time she enrolled openly in her true form.
As if sensing movement, the girl instinctively looked up. Upon seeing Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena, her expression froze for a moment.
These two are pretty good-looking.
She had always been confident in her appearance, but before these two, neither fell short. Especially the silver-haired girl—at that instant, she inexplicably felt a twinge of incompetence.
Are all Shrek freshmen this formidable?
Thinking this, Wang Dong'er continued walking past them toward the canteen at the back of the dorms without hesitation.
Only after she had gone did Gu Yuena withdraw her gaze, her violet eyes flickering with a trace of gravity.
"That girl carries the aura of a God."
"I know."
Huo Yuhao nodded, his tone complex. "She has a divine consciousness seal from a God of the Divine Realm."
Gu Yuena's eyes widened slightly.
"How could you tell?"
Before Huo Yuhao could answer, she added, as if realizing something:
"Is she here for you?"
"…Something like that."
Huo Yuhao then briefly explained Wang Dong'er's situation.
Gu Yuena tilted her head. "So… are we going to act?"
"Huh? You sure about that?"
"It's just a thread of divine consciousness," Gu Yuena replied calmly.
Meeting her gaze, Huo Yuhao recalled how, back during the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well Incident, she had said the two Dragon Kings' divine souls had helped her recovery significantly.
Would Tang San's divine consciousness also be effective?
At present, Wang Dong'er's spiritual sea only contained a fragment of Tang San's divine soul as a seal—it was certainly worth a try.
As for whether Tang San might retaliate…
Having been reborn, Huo Yuhao had a clear understanding of the current rules and situation of the Divine Realm. The God of Destructionwould not have suddenly attacked Tang San out of a small grievance.
Before a full-blown conflict could erupt, God of Destruction had likely already tried countless ways to provoke Tang San.
In this case, if Tang San quietly made small schemes, it would be tolerable. But if he dared to descend personally or send Gods to interfere secretly, the God of Destruction would seize that opportunity to strike.
"Will this divine consciousness help you recover your strength?"
"Yes."
Gu Yuena nodded without hesitation. "Though it depends on the rank of God's divine soul. If it's a second or third-class God, the help is minimal."
"God King."
