"It's just a side effect of cultivation. Do you want to try it, Xiaoyan? Just stay at the bottom of the sea, a thousand meters down, for a while."
Hearing Huo Yuhao's answer, Xu Xiaoyan was startled and quickly shook her head.
"No thanks! I don't want to!"
Was Student Yuhao's training this pervert? No wonder he cultivated so much faster than them.
Huo Yuhao chuckled and shook his head. He looked at Gu Yuena, who was quietly appraising him.
"How have you been recently?"
Gu Yuena looked away as if nothing had happened. "Fine. It's been quite interesting lately. My teacher taught me a lot..."
Indeed Yuhao had been hiding his appearance before, hadn't he?
Her previous understanding had been correct!
Now that Yuhao had restored his true appearance, should she also change back to her original form?
Judging by Snow Empress's appearance, Yuhao probably liked her original form better...
Besides them, watching the two exchange as if no one else was around, Xu Xiaoyan belatedly realized — shouldn't she have followed them up?
Even if she wanted to hear gossip and ship the couple, she shouldn't be here.
Being an electric light bulb wasn't good. Being an ignored electric light bulb was even worse.
"You came back just in time. Teacher Luo might announce the matters of the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition today..."
As Gu Yuena was speaking, she noticed Xu Xiaoyan standing there, staring at them, not moving. She asked strangely: "Xiaoyan, what's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing. You two continue." Xu Xiaoyan's eyes went dead.
Just forget about me.
Huo Yuhao noticed Xu Xiaoyan's expression. He felt that Gu Yuena also had a natural black-bellied quality. He couldn't help but chuckle. "Na'er; let's talk later. Let's go up first."
With that, he took the lead toward the elevator. Gu Yuena turned and followed behind. Xu Xiaoyan was startled for a moment, then also followed.
Along the way, she was still thinking about how the two addressed each other.
Na'er?
Had something she didn't know about happened during this holiday?
The other members of Class Zero were also at the Spirit Transmission Tower. Hearing that Huo Yuhao was back, they quickly gathered.
"Boss let me tell you, that guy the other day he was a big shot! He was pretending!" Xie Xie said with great enthusiasm. "He's my teacher a Title Douluo..."
Huo Yuhao listened, then glanced at the helpless expressions of the others, and understood that Xie Xie had been showing off quite a bit lately. He smiled. "You're not worried that he'll hold a grudge for what you said about his hair not being ample?"
"..."
Xie Xie was silent. He thought, then had a sudden realization. "That explains it! So that's why my teacher trains me so hard it was because of that!"
You only just now realized you have a smart mouth, did you? Don't you usually have any self-awareness? With just that mouth, you're an Agility Attack master. Just taunt them successfully and lead them on a chase.
Wang Jinxi and the others rolled their eyes.
"Yuhao — were the Shrek students really like what Xie Xie said?" Tang Wulin frowned from the side. "Xie Xie said they blocked the road to the Spirit Transmission Tower and assaulted people in public."
"...It was like that." Huo Yuhao glanced oddly at the four people excluding Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi, eventually resting his gaze on Gu Yuena, but still nodded.
Originally, you were part of the blockage, led by this one...
Gu Yuena's gaze met Huo Yuhao's. She blinked.
What was it? Why was Yuhao looking at her?
Huo Yuhao looked at Gu Yuena's cool, seemingly natural expression and silently looked away.
Well — the Gu Yuena he knew wouldn't do that kind of thing. If she had free time, she preferred being an internet-addicted girl and eating food she liked.
So how had Emperor Tian and the others raised this one?
To be honest — he was somewhat curious.
"Have you heard this saying? 'Those who fear to cause trouble are mediocre.'" Hearing Huo Yuhao's answer, Tang Wulin looked around at the others and asked: "It seems to be Shrek's school motto."
Wang Jinxi frowned. Unusually for the normally taciturn boy, he said: "What kind of strange school motto is that? Why would anyone cause trouble for no reason? How could a school teach its students such things?"
Zhang Yangzi thought for a moment. "I think it's true. I've heard Xiaofeng mention it before."
"Eh? If that's the school motto, then those two the other day weren't exceptions?" Xu Xiaoyan's expression gradually shifted. She said strangely: "I thought the two Xie Xie mentioned were just isolated cases..."
On the other side, Tang Wulin heard Zhang Yangzi's answer and thought back to the person who had taught him in his dreams. His brow furrowed tightly.
That person said Shrek's school motto was "Those who fear to cause trouble are mediocre." Now that Shrek students had actually appeared in his life, it seemed that so-called school motto was true.
So the question was — he had previously thought it was just a dream. But now thinking back, it might not have been.
What kind of dream could tell him information he didn't know? A prophetic dream?
Little friend Wulin didn't think he had that much ability.
The only possibility was that someone truly had been speaking to him in his dreams, trying to teach him bad things.
Who was this person?
"Old Tang?" A figure quickly flashed through Tang Wulin's mind. He couldn't help pressing his lips together.
He didn't want to suspect him after all, without Old Tang's guidance, he might have already died in ignorance. But speaking of the consciousness that might exist within his body, Tang Wulin's thoughts uncontrollably drifted toward that figure.
If it really was him... what should he do?
"Speaking of which — Student Yuhao has been training with his teacher these days. Na'er is Tianfeng Douluo's disciple."
Xu Xiaoyan looked again toward Xie Xie, a hint of envy in her eyes. "And Xie Xie — you three are all disciples of Title Douluos now. When will I get recognition from those big shots?"
Recently, Tianfeng Douluo had been appearing frequently at the Eastsea Spirit Transmission Tower. They all knew Gu Yuena's identity now.
A Four-Word Battle Armor Master, Vice Tower Master of the Spirit Transmission Tower — that was a being at the very apex of the continent!
Who among them could have imagined before that someone beside them would have a connection to such a figure?
It was like falling into a dream...
But that aside — ever since joining the Spirit Transmission Tower, Xu Xiaoyan felt that Title Douluos were no longer so distant. In the past, she could only fantasize about it. Now, having a Title Douluo as a teacher was no longer just a dream.
Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi exchanged a glance. The latter spoke first. "Actually — we also have teachers now. But they're only guiding us in our Combination Martial Soul Technique for now. They haven't officially taken us in yet."
"???" Xu Xiaoyan's eyes widened. She looked at the two in disbelief, but only saw them smiling and nodding in confirmation.
Wang Jinxi explained: "They are the tower master and vice tower master of the Spirit Transmission Tower branch in Xingluo City. They also possess a Combination Martial Soul Technique. Teacher Luo helped us connect with them."
Huo Yuhao nodded thoughtfully. "So it's those two."
Xie Xie looked at Huo Yuhao, curious. "Boss Yuhao — you know them?"
Huo Yuhao nodded. "Those two are sisters. Their combined strength is among the top among the Eighteen Heavenly Pillars' tower masters. Because their martial soul fusion degree has reached eighty percent, their strength after using their Combination Martial Soul Technique is enough to fight a Limit Douluo!"
