Chapter 272 Huo Yuhao: Unaware of his old buddy Di Tian
Chapter 272 Huo Yuhao: I wonder what my old buddy Di Tian is busy with these days.
Especially looking at Wu Yun'er, from the subtle hostility she showed when she shook hands with Ling Bing earlier, to now clinging to the boy like a kitten guarding its food...
Shen Yi originally thought that the two of them were like his senior brother Wu Changkong, bringing his students who had been taught for many years to apply for Shrek Academy.
After all, according to the background information she had obtained in advance, Ling Bing was an external teacher from a certain reclusive family, and Wu Yun'er was his most outstanding student.
But now it seems that things are not so simple, there is obviously something fishy going on here!
Although she was secretly called the White-Haired Witch by the students in the academy, Shen Yi still had a burning girlish heart, and her heart was instantly filled with an incredibly rich gossip mentality.
After all, love stories that transcend the limitations of time are always particularly intriguing, no matter when.
As the future homeroom teacher of Wu Yun'er's new class, I'm sure I'll have plenty of firsthand gossip to share in the future.
As long as the other female students in my class don't follow suit, otherwise I, as the class teacher, will probably have a headache dealing with these troublesome matters.
Suppressing his distracting thoughts, Shen Yi skillfully started the soul-guided car.
The car smoothly drove out of the underground parking garage and began speeding along the designated lane. As if casually, she continued speaking:
"Lingbing, once you officially pass the teacher application assessment, barring any unforeseen circumstances, we should become colleagues and work together to teach this year's freshmen."
Shen Yi was not worried that the other party would fail the test.
Even in his twenties, he was only at the Soul Saint level, which was considered outstanding among his peers.
But Ling Bing, at the age of twenty, already possessed the cultivation level of a Soul Douluo.
Perhaps this is why Vice Dean Nanali broke with convention and personally recommended him to apply for a teaching position.
After all, Shrek Academy hasn't hired any Soul Masters who didn't graduate from the academy as teachers for many years.
Upon hearing Shen Yi's words, Huo Yuhao in the back seat didn't react much, but Dai Yun'er next to him had already narrowed her beautiful eyes, revealing a hint of scrutiny.
Her woman's intuition told her clearly that this woman named Shen Yi was definitely the type who was all bark and no bite.
They even went so far as to mention being colleagues and co-teaching students, with every word they uttered carrying a subtle air of ambiguity.
But in reality, this tactic is a classic case of using a straight hook and salty bait; the intention is clearly to lure the user into taking the bait, and the user is probably waiting to see the user's jealous reaction so they can secretly have some fun.
It's a pity that this seemingly older woman could never have imagined that she and Yuhao were already of one mind. Her little tricks of sowing discord were far from enough.
Thinking of this, Dai Yun'er snorted inwardly and didn't bother to pay any more attention to this ill-intentioned woman.
She stretched and yawned, then leaned against Huo Yuhao's shoulder, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
Through the rearview mirror, Shen Yi took in everything.
Seeing that the blonde girl not only didn't take the bait, but instead used this intimate gesture to advance, and considering that Huo Yuhao himself didn't have much desire to talk, she didn't say anything more.
Shen Yi drove very fast, but even so, it took the soul-guided car more than half an hour to finally arrive at the location of Shrek Academy after departing from Shrek City Station.
Compared to the outer city, which has been expanding outwards for thousands of years and is filled with various high-tech features and skyscrapers, Shrek's inner city still retains its unique antique charm.
Even though many of the buildings had undergone partial repairs and reinforcements, Huo Yuhao could still see many traces of his memories in them.
For a moment, a rare hint of reminiscence appeared in his usually calm and unwavering eyes.
Shen Yi drove the car onto a quiet street, then through several winding side streets.
After passing through an inconspicuous little door, it finally came to a smooth stop in a semi-circular plaza parking lot.
Perhaps it was because he stepped into Shrek Academy that Shen Yi's expression and aura became unusually decisive and efficient after getting out of the car.
She glanced at Ling Bing and Wu Yun'er, who had also gotten out of the car through the back door, pointed to the center of the square, and began to introduce the area in a crisp tone:
"This is the square that was named after the title of Lingbing Douluo, the founder of the Spirit Pagoda, when Shrek Academy was expanded ten thousand years ago."
"However, in the last few hundred years, due to some special reasons, the question of whether to demolish the Spirit Ice Plaza and then re-plan and rebuild it has been discussed many times at the meetings of the Sea God Pavilion."
As he said this, Shen Yi subconsciously glanced at Ling Bing, who remained calm beside him.
Then he turned his gaze to the center of the huge artificial pool in the middle of the square, staring at the towering Spirit Ice Douluo statue for a few moments.
It can be said that the two have no similarities in appearance or temperament.
Furthermore, the "Lingbing" in Lingbing Douluo's name is merely his title, while the Lingbing in front of us is simply his name.
Furthermore, according to the background information, the two people's martial souls are not the same.
Shen Yi eventually banished this absurd association from his mind, simply dismissing it as overthinking.
Dai Yun'er, who had secretly inhaled Yuhao's scent the whole way in the car and taken a nap, stretched out a big yawn and felt completely refreshed.
After walking up to Huo Yuhao with a bright and cheerful expression, he looked up with curiosity at the statue of Lingbing Douluo, which was surrounded by several spirit statues in the center of the artificial pool.
Dai Yun'er instinctively wanted to laugh out loud, but after looking at her surroundings, she could only force herself to suppress her laughter.
Unable to resist any longer, she reached out her little hand and secretly touched Huo Yuhao's fingers beside her, conveying her joyful thoughts directly through telepathy.
"Yuhao, seeing such a magnificent statue of yourself standing here, revered by countless junior students of Shrek Academy, do you feel a secret sense of satisfaction?"
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but roll his eyes, and mentally retorted with a hint of annoyance:
"Didn't you hear what they just said? This place might be demolished later. But it's probably for the best. Anyway, it looks kind of awkward here."
Watching the two of them engaging in intimate acts as if no one else was around, Shen Yi thought to himself that he had guessed correctly; the relationship between the two was definitely not ordinary.
She instinctively wanted to flash that knowing, maternal smile, but then immediately remembered her current role and the need to remain professional.
He quickly coughed lightly and said, "Alright, it's almost time for the assessment to officially begin. Let's take Wu Yun'er to the assessment location first."
As she spoke, she took the lead and walked towards the huge circular building behind the pool.
He skillfully led the two through a spacious domed hall, then up a wide staircase surrounded by neat green spaces, and finally into an unusually long and narrow corridor.
At this moment, the corridor was already filled with young candidates who had come to take the exam.
Most of these candidates were only thirteen or fourteen years old, and their numbers were roughly estimated to be nearly a thousand.
Despite the long queue of so many people, it didn't seem particularly noisy.
However, the vast majority of young men and women had an uncontrollable excitement on their faces, nervously making final preparations for the upcoming assessment.
Being able to pass the examination of the first academy in Douluo Continent, become a student there, and eventually embark on the path of a Battle Armor Master is arguably one of the ultimate dreams of the vast majority of young Soul Masters in this era.
Each of them first obtained the qualification to apply at their respective intermediate soul master academies before they were fortunate enough to come here; they can truly be described as one in a thousand.
Even so, Shrek Academy's pass rate is still shockingly low; it's considered lucky if one out of ten people passes.
Upon arriving here, Shen Yi's gaze returned to Dai Yun'er, and he spoke in a businesslike manner:
"Wu Yun'er, please take your prepared application materials and wait in line at the back. The assessment will be conducted in groups of ten."
After speaking, she turned to Huo Yuhao, her tone becoming even more polite:
"Lingbing, please follow me directly into the arena. Your teacher assessment will begin before the students' exams."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao whispered a few words of advice to Dai Yun'er, only to receive a playful response from her transmitted through telepathy:
"Okay, okay, I'm not a child anymore. I won't throw a princess tantrum outside. You go ahead."
Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly and could only follow Shen Yi ahead of him, heading towards the hall at the back of the corridor.
However, the scene Shen Yi had envisioned did not occur as they passed through the long line of examinees.
She had assumed that with Ling Bing's outstanding looks and temperament, she would surely cause a great deal of discussion, or even a small commotion, among the teenagers who were going through puberty.
As a result, all the candidates seemed completely oblivious to them walking past, remaining engrossed in their exam preparation.
As the two of them stepped into the domed circular hall in front of the corridor, an old man in a dark green robe, standing behind a huge stone pillar, couldn't help but stroke his white beard and quickly walked out of the shadows with a look of surprise.
"Good heavens! At your age, you've already grasped the spiritual realm. Truly, the younger generation is formidable!"
The old man's loud voice echoed in the hall. He looked Huo Yuhao up and down a few times, his approval in his eyes undisguised.
"You don't need to test his mental strength. Shen Yi, just take him to see Dean Cai."
Shen Yi's eyes also revealed a deep sense of surprise.
The Black Dragon Hall's test of mental strength is not like those testing machines outside, which only give a specific value.
More importantly, it can detect a Soul Master's talent in terms of mental strength.
In general, aside from spirit-attribute soul masters, ordinary soul masters can only comprehend and generate the spiritual realm after their spiritual power cultivation reaches the Spirit Domain Realm.
The spiritual cultivation of the Spirit Realm is not only proof of talent, but also a ticket to the pinnacle of the continent, meaning that one has the possibility of touching the level of the Limit Douluo.
It should be noted that Ling Bing is only twenty years old, yet she already possesses Soul Douluo-level Soul Power cultivation, coupled with the complementary Spirit Domain Realm spiritual power.
This might mean that the opponent could very well break the record set by Sky Douluo of becoming a Title Douluo at the age of twenty-three, and might even reach the Limit Douluo realm faster.
Shen Yi took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart, and bowed to the old man, saying, "Yes, Elder Li, I understand."
Huo Yuhao hadn't expected his impulsive action to elicit such a reaction.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, he had been quietly maintaining the mental interference zone.
This method doesn't have a strong effect; it simply subtly reduces one's presence, preventing others from focusing too much attention on one's appearance.
He had already witnessed too many scenes of being surrounded by crowds when he accompanied Dai Yun'er to the seaside city, and he really didn't want to experience it again at Shrek Academy.
At this moment, however, his gaze was not entirely fixed on Shen Yi and Elder Li, but rather he was looking up at the huge mural on the dome.
With his spiritual power, he could clearly perceive that the lifelike mural of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King contained a drop of Di Tian's blood in the pigments used to create it.
That familiar aura, even after so much time, still made him feel a strange sense of warmth.
Since returning to Douluo Continent, just in case, Huo Yuhao once again used the power of the Eye of Destiny to completely suppress and disguise the aura of the Golden Dragon King God Core within his body.
It can be said that unless one has an intimate and unreserved encounter with the Silver Dragon King of this era, the other party will not be able to accurately determine whether one possesses the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King or the Golden Dragon.
Caution is the boat.
The Silver Dragon King of this world is not as easy to talk to as Gu Yuena.
I just wonder what my old friend Di Tian is busy with these days.
Just as Huo Yuhao was filled with emotion, at the other end of the long and narrow assessment corridor...
A girl with her black hair tied in a high ponytail stood quietly in the line, her bright black eyes particularly eye-catching.
The girl's appearance wasn't the kind of breathtakingly beautiful, but she possessed a unique, cool charm.
Wearing a well-tailored white outfit without any unnecessary decorations, she exudes a clean and refreshing aura, yet naturally radiates a sense of aloofness that keeps strangers at bay.
