Xuan Lao painfully closed his eyes. This situation… was truly tragic.
Just as Xuan Lao was engulfed in grief, Ling Luocheng suddenly coughed a sound from not far away.
Xuan Lao was shocked and rushed to her side. However, after checking, he helplessly shook his head.
"The life essence is gone… she can't survive…"
At these words, the fleeting joy among everyone instantly turned back to sorrow.
If even Xuan Lao said there was no way, then who else could have a solution?
"Let me try!"
As silence fell over the group, Huo Yuhao's voice exploded through the quiet cave.
He extended his hand, placing it over Ling Luocheng's lower abdomen. The life essence he had just devoured still had a bit remaining, and now he poured it entirely into her body.
With Huohao's continuous infusion, Ling Luocheng's breathing gradually stabilized. Xuan Lao beside her was both excited and fearful.
Excited, because Ling Luocheng was alive.
Fearful, because if Huo Yuhao became an Evil Soul Master, the entire Douluo Star would be doomed!
The terror of death… even now, recalling it, made Xuan Lao feel suffocated.
To devour all life essence… how terrifying!
Seeing Ling Luocheng breathing steadily, Xuan Lao immediately made a decision.
"Wang Yan, the difficult task falls entirely on you. Take them back to the military camp first. After regrouping, head straight to Xingluo City to participate in the Grand Tournament."
"I'll take Ling Luocheng and Dai Yaoheng back to the academy for treatment. No time to waste—we move immediately."
As he spoke, Xuan Lao gestured with his large hands toward the unconscious Ling Luocheng on the ground. A dense white soul power enveloped her like a cocoon, fully protecting her.
As for Dai Yaoheng, Xuan Lao carried him on his back.
In Xuan Lao's eyes, this boy was definitely crippled.
But treatment was still necessary; after all, Dai Yaoheng was still an Inner Academy student of Shrek.
Xuan Lao took a deep breath, looking at the seven Outer Academy students. In a solemn voice, he said:
"A sudden crisis occurred; the responsibility is entirely mine. There's no time to dispatch new students from the academy to attend the Grand Tournament of Advanced Soul Masters across the continent."
"Now, only you can step up, at least until Ling Luocheng recovers from her injuries."
"At that time, you can cooperate with Ma Xiaotao and still barely participate in the tournament."
"Children, the academy's honor relies on you. Victory and glory belong to you; failure and shame will belong solely to me."
After saying this, Xuan Lao lifted his head, hiding the tears in his eyes. Like lightning, he exited the cave and released his flying soul device, heading to Shrek Academy at maximum speed.
Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao, exhausted from both mental strain and the release of life essence, fainted from fatigue.
…
When Huo Yuhao awoke again, it was already a bright noon. The strong stench of blood had vanished, replaced by the fresh mountain forest air.
He found his head resting on something soft and elastic, comfortably positioned. On his chest rested a delicate and slender hand, the spring-green fingers close to his eyes.
Without looking up, he knew whose hand it was.
He had held this hand countless times before, but seeing it this close was a first.
The palm was far smaller than his, yet the fingers were nearly the same length.
However, as Huo Yuhao prepared to turn over, he suddenly felt another hand behind him.
"What the…!?"
Startled, Huo Yuhao quickly sat up, dumbfounded.
Ma Xiaotao, Jiang Nannan, Wu Feng, Ning Tian…
Good grief, they all slept beside him!!!
Huo Yuhao's awakening naturally roused everyone else.
Ma Xiaotao rubbed her eyes, saw Huo Yuhao's shocked expression, and immediately pounced.
"Xiao Yuhao, you really scared your sister to death! How do you feel now? Are you feeling better?"
As Ma Xiaotao spoke, the other girls also asked in concern.
"Huo Yuhao, are you okay?"
"Huo Yuhao, don't scare us like that!"
"Huo Yuhao, why are you always so reckless! Do you know how worried we were?"
…
Their questions finally brought Huo Yuhao back to his senses. The daze in his mind had vanished with rest.
His gaze softened as he scanned each of their faces.
"Yes! I'm fine now. Thank you, everyone."
Huo Yuhao's sudden gentleness made everyone blush.
"If you're fine, then fine, why the sudden tenderness?"
"Exactly, Huo Yuhao, don't act all proper and serious!"
"Yeah, and how many girls have you fooled before!"
…
Seeing everyone teasing, Huo Yuhao felt immense happiness.
Just then, a cough rang out.
"Cough cough!"
"Cough cough cough cough!"
Fiery Ma Xiaotao spoke first!
"Teacher Wang, what are you doing?!"
At this moment, Wang Yan felt both embarrassed and overwhelmed.
Damn this world!
How did it come to this?
I, Wang Yan, am seriously jealous!!!
Damn it!
Wang Yan approached Huo Yuhao.
"Hahaha, everyone, Huo Yuhao's body should be fully recovered by now. Why don't we return to the military camp?"
"After a brief rest, we can head to Xingluo City."
At this moment, everyone was still in the forest. After Huo Yuhao fainted, they hadn't traveled far.
As for Huo Yuhao's previous sleeping spot, naturally, it was on Wang Dong's lap!
A lap pillow!
Maximum happiness achieved!
…
Elsewhere, Shrek Academy.
Disheveled Xuan Lao sat on the steps, drinking from a bottle. Footsteps approached, and an elder in white robes came over.
"How's the situation?"
The elder respectfully stood behind Xuan Lao. "The situation has stabilized. You brought them back in time; all lives are safe."
"Ling Luocheng has fully recovered… as for Dai Yaoheng…"
"There's nothing that can be done. The lower body is gone. I checked with the Soul Conduction Department; it cannot be faked…"
"As for his missing legs, no prosthetic will help… the spine is disconnected from the lower body. Only regrowth from limb regeneration could solve this…"
Sigh…
Xuan Lao exhaled alcohol-laden breath, his face sad.
At that moment, someone entered the courtyard—none other than Yan Shaozhe, head of the Martial Soul Department at Shrek Academy.
"Xuan Lao, the Poseidon Pavilion meeting you proposed has been prepared. You…"
"Let's go." Xuan Lao stood and walked out, his figure evidently a bit lonely.
Yan Shaozhe followed behind, quietly sighing. The Poseidon Pavilion meeting had not been convened this frequently in many years.
"Xuan Lao, this matter isn't entirely your fault; don't blame yourself too much," Yan Shaozhe advised quietly.
Xuan Lao said nothing, merely shaking his head.
PS: Yesterday, many readers commented that they were heartbroken over Ling Luocheng's death. Fine, I'll spoil you all—she's alive!
