Chapter 45: Are You Still Alive? (Part 1)

  The scene was so tacitly perfect that the students next to him were stunned and completely bewildered, unable to understand what had just happened.

  Zhou Wei waved at them and said, "You go back and prepare first."

  "Yes." The three students were very curious, but they didn't dare to linger and hastily retreated. Moreover, the clever assistant closed the office door for Zhou Wei.

  "Wang Dong said anxiously: 'Teacher Zhou, Ho Yu Hao hasn't come back yet! You haven't seen him either, should we go ask the Soul Guidance Department about it?'"

  Zhou Wei's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and her eyes flashed with anger. "No need to ask anymore. I've already asked before. What is that stinky little brat Ho Yu Hao up to? He told me that the Soul Guidance Department arranged for a teacher to accompany him to obtain a soul ring. But when I asked Fan Yu, he said that Ho Yu Hao told him it was the Martial Soul Department that sent a teacher to help him get a soul ring. Isn't this just a scam on both sides? As a result, no one went with him. Did this little brat really go deep into the Star Dou Great Forest by himself?"

  When she said that, Wang Dong suddenly became even more anxious. "No way, he doesn't even have an attack soul skill, how could he possibly go hunting soul beasts on his own? That's too dangerous! No way, no way. How could he be so stupid? His emotions were normal when we parted ways!"

  Zhou Wei said in a low voice, "He must be hiding something from us. In that case, go to the senior department immediately and find BeiBei and Tang Ya for me. If they're not there either, then it's settled. Huo YuHao is a person of the Tang Sect, perhaps they know. If BeiBei and Tang Ya accompanied him to the Star Dou Great Forest, that would make sense too."

  "Good." Wang Dong turned around and left, at this moment he was only praying that Beibei and Tangya would not come back either. They must have helped Huo Yuhao to obtain the soul ring.

  However, the fact is that it cannot be changed by human will. Before long, BeiBei and TangYa had appeared in Zhou Wei's office. Although they had just returned not long ago, they were indeed back!

  It's said that Huo Yuhao didn't come back, and they were also shocked. BeiBei said: "Teacher Zhou, when we parted ways, our little Shidi was still fine. It's impossible for him to go hunting Soul Beasts by himself, right? Although the first time we met him, he had hunted a Soul Beast alone, but he got injured that time. Moreover, it was only a low-level ten-year Soul Beast. This time, he wants to add his second soul ring, with his combat power, even if he adds a low-level soul guide and our Tang Sect martial arts, it's probably still very difficult for him to deal with a hundred-year Soul Beast. After all, his cultivation is still too low. Little Shidi is a smart person, how could he be so foolish?

  Several people looked at each other in dismay. No matter how hard they thought, they couldn't understand why Huo Yu Hao had secretly left the college without telling anyone.

  The man didn't come back. Rushing is useless. Zhou Wei was anxious, Fan Yu was even more anxious.

  It's not easy to find a good apprentice like him, and he has shown amazing talent in soul guide device manufacturing. How could he mess things up like this? He wouldn't be anxious if he didn't have a reason. Like others, he couldn't understand why Ho Yu Hao did this either. But from what he knew about Ho Yu Hao, this kid wasn't someone who would do something without a good reason. There must be some unbearable hardship that forced him to do so.

  Everyone close to Huo Yu Hao had different thoughts in their minds, some were angry, some regretful, and some puzzled. But none of them could have guessed the real reason why Huo Yu Hao hid the truth. However, time waits for no man.

  Eyes opened and closed. A day has passed.

  Eyes opened and closed again, and the next day also came to an end.

  The new semester of Shrek Academy has finally arrived. Students of all grades have started reporting and registering. The entrance examination for freshmen has been completed, and the freshmen have all enrolled. Other grades are facing the upcoming promotion exams.

  The report started in the morning and didn't finish until the afternoon.

  Wang Dong finished his registration early and stood anxiously at the entrance of Shrek Academy, gazing into the distance and waiting.

  Why hasn't he come back yet? Why?

  The rules of Shrek Academy are very strict, if you can't report on time, you will be expelled!

  The sky gradually darkened, but he still hadn't returned.

  Wang Dong gazed into the distance, his eyes already somewhat dazed and dull. He was also twelve years old this year, a month younger than Huo Yu Hao. In the twelve years of his life, he had never missed someone like this before.

  Standing there, his legs had been numb for some time, but in his mind, the life and study of the past year with Huo Yu Hao in the same dormitory kept emerging.

  They attended classes together, practiced together, took the freshman assessment together, and won the championship together. They ate roasted fish together and completed their first year at Shrek Academy together.

  I'm back, where are you?

  The sky gradually darkened, and the afterglow of the sunset left a faint red glow in the distant sky. The evening glow was beautiful, but it couldn't illuminate the gloom in Wang Dong's heart.

  Too late, it's already too late. He has passed the reporting time. Can't make it, can't make it!

  Baobei, Tangya, and Xiaoxiao also arrived at the entrance of the college one after another. As they looked at the sky gradually darkening, their faces also became gloomy.

  Wang Dong had no idea how he got back to his dorm, and by the time he returned, the sky outside was already completely dark. Huo Yu Hao ultimately didn't make it back in time, didn't make it back to report. But at this moment, Wang Dong didn't blame him one bit.

  As long as you can come back alive!

  He was most worried that Huo Yu Hao would be buried in the Starry Sky Great Forest! If so, his body would be gone forever.

  As he thought about it, Wang Dong slowly sat down on the dust-covered glass bed of Huo Yu Hao, at this moment, he seemed to have forgotten his cleanliness habit.

  Huo Yu Hao, are you still alive? Wang Dong's fists clenched involuntarily, his eyes reddening, and a kind of maddening anxiety arose in his heart.

  Just then, a hurried footsteps came from outside, accompanied by some heavy panting.

  Wang Dong raised his head in astonishment, and then with a "bang", someone rushed in suddenly.

  "It's all over, I'm late! I rushed as fast as I could, but I still didn't make it. What am I going to do?!" The young man who burst through the door muttered to himself with a worried and anxious expression on his face. He looked up at Wang Dong and smiled: "You're back! Is everyone done reporting today? I'm in trouble, I'm late. No way, I have to hurry and find Teacher Zhou, maybe he can think of something tonight."

  As he spoke, the young man turned around and was about to run away.

  "Ho, Yu, Hao." A deafening scream pierced the air, and just as Ho Yu Hao was about to rush out, he felt a sudden weight on his back, followed by a massive force that sent him crashing to the ground. Then, his back was met with a flurry of punches and kicks that rained down on him like a storm.

  "Yes, the young man who rushed into the room was none other than Huo Yuhao, the master of the Light Board Bed. Although he had done his best, he still arrived too late. It was because he had spent too much time merging with the Ice Emperor. Moreover, he didn't know the specific situation. Only after he obtained the second soul ring with the help of the Sky Dream Ice Worm and left the ice field did he ask someone about the time, and his eyes widened in shock. He rushed back desperately, but still arrived a day late."

  "Uh..." Huo Yu Hao covered his head with both hands, dazed from being hit by Wang Dong. He only felt two soft masses sitting on his butt, constantly twisting and turning, giving his tired gluteus maximus a very comfortable relief...

  "Do you still know how to come back? You bastard, do you still know how to come back?" Tears uncontrollably flowed from Wang Dong's eyes as he felt for the first time that besides his family, there was actually another person who made him worry so much. The moment he saw Huo Yu Hao, he felt like something inside him had shattered, and his suppressed emotions burst out uncontrollably.

  His fist, which had been punching, gradually lost its strength, and he suddenly fell on Huo Yu's back and burst into loud sobs.

  Huo Yu Hao was originally quite depressed from being beaten, but when Wang Dong cried, he was stunned. Pressed to the ground, he thought that even if he wanted to get up, he couldn't, and for a moment, he felt bewildered and at a loss.

  "Wang Dong, what are you crying about? You're acting like a girl!" Huo Yuhao said with some exasperation.

  "Bastard. Do you know how worried everyone was about you? I thought you'd already become the dung of a Starry Forest Soul Beast. Why did you lie to us, telling us that there's a teacher accompanying you to hunt the Soul Beast? And why did you go by yourself?"

  Wang Dong pressed down on Huo Yu Hao's body, his hands tightly grasping his shoulders, and said in a rage.

  "This... I hope the teachers don't all know about it already." Huo Yu Hao said with some guilt.

  "Nonsense! You haven't even come back, how would I know?!" Wang Dong was so angry that his teeth itched, and he couldn't help but want to bite him twice to vent his anger.

  He Yu Hao bitterly smiled and said: "I'm saying, can you get up first before talking? Although you're not heavy, but you also can't keep pressing down on me like this, right?"

  Wang Dong finally came back to his senses, as if he had been electrocuted, and jumped up with a bright red face.

  Huō Yǔhào quickly got up, looking at Wáng Dōng with tears in his eyes, knowing that he was worried about his safety, and couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion. He scratched his head and apologized: "Sorry! I made you worry. I didn't expect it to take so long either. It's just that I really forgot about the time."

  Wang Dong wiped away his tears and glared at him fiercely, "You deceived all of us. If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I won't let you off."

  Hehe, Hao Yu smiled and said: "Looking at you like that, you seem like a little girl with pear blossoms in the rain. Where's the aura of a strong attacking War Soul Master?"

  Wang Dong's expression changed suddenly, his tone becoming several degrees heavier. "Who are you calling a little girl? Aren't you looking for Teacher Zhou? Hurry up and go. I'll go with you. Teacher Zhou is very angry too, good luck to you." As he spoke, he hastily pushed Huo Yuhao out the door.
