Lepidoptera That Danced Strangely (Part 2)

Looking at Wang Dong's incomparably handsome face, Huo Yuhao seemed to see Tang Wutong's gloomy, emotionless eyes again.

Huo Yuhao said nothing. Ignoring Wang Dong, he walked straight out.

Wang Dong clearly froze for a moment, and a nameless fire rose in her heart.

"Hey, stop right there! Do you hate me that much?!"

Wang Dong reached out and grabbed Huo Yuhao by the shoulder.

"You'd better not provoke me. Otherwise, I might not be able to stop myself from beating you up."

Tang Wutong had cast too great a shadow over him. Coupled with the peculiar power on Wang Dong that had constantly been trying to break through the Eye of Eternity's mental defenses, Huo Yuhao did not want to see Wang Dong's face right now.

But he had not expected his attitude to cause Wang Dong to change instead.

"I'm sorry."

Huo Yuhao abruptly turned around. "What did you say?"

Wang Dong's eyes were red. Lowering her head, she said word by word, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have acted so arrogantly toward you before."

A long while passed without any response from Huo Yuhao.

Just as Wang Dong was about to raise her head, she heard Huo Yuhao's voice.

"Let's go eat."

After several days, enrollment for the new school year had basically been completed.

The new student dormitory building had begun to grow lively as well.

Every dormitory was a double room, and the soundproofing was excellent.

During this period, Huo Yuhao had spent all his time cultivating. The Gold Soul Coins Long Xiaoyao had left behind were not many, but they were not few either. He had even thoughtfully prepared Silver Soul Coins and Copper Soul Coins.

However, for Huo Yuhao's plans, this amount of Gold Soul Coins was merely a drop in the bucket.

At the upcoming Soul Master Tournament in Star Luo City, the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone that contained the Ice Explosion Technique and Snow Empress's transformed Embryo would appear. Their transactions started at no less than ten million gold coins.

Setting aside the matter of Snow Empress for now, even the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone had sold for thirty million Gold Soul Coins.

Although the final price of that auction had been so exorbitant because the Starlight Auction House had deliberately driven up the bidding before buying it themselves in his previous life, it was easy to predict that even in a normal auction, the price would never be low.

At the very least, it would be around twenty million Gold Soul Coins.

But that was all for later. Right now, he was about to face a "brand-new" academy life, a brand-new life.

And face Zhou Yi—the first person in his previous life to thoroughly brainwash him and bind him to Shrek Academy's war chariot.

"Teacher Zhou, it has been a long time. This student has missed you dearly," Huo Yuhao murmured softly, a crazed smile on his lips.

"What are you talking about?"

Wang Dong, who had just finished breakfast in the cafeteria, returned with Huo Yuhao's folding table and asked curiously.

"Oh, right, classes start today. We should hurry!"

As she spoke, Wang Dong set down the folding table and began packing up.

"I've already heard that our homeroom teacher is a lunatic. If she catches us late, we're done for!"

"Isn't there still half a shichen left? No need to rush." Huo Yuhao stood up. Though he was not especially tall, his presence at that moment was imposing.

The teaching buildings were distinguished by color according to grade. The white teaching building was where the new students attended class.

All the new students, dressed in white uniforms, filed inside. Only one figure walked over at an unhurried pace.

That figure was Huo Yuhao.

The first classroom on the left side of the teaching building was Class One. By the time Huo Yuhao entered, the spacious classroom was already nearly full.

Huo Yuhao was the last to arrive, and there were not many seats left for him. He casually chose one and sat down.

The person sitting beside Huo Yuhao was a somewhat proud-looking little girl. Huo Yuhao recognized her.

Xiao Xiao.

There were one hundred students in each class, and a total of one thousand new students had been admitted.

Given Shrek Academy's admission standards, those thousand students would basically have been treasured talents at any other academy.

After all, Shrek Academy's admission requirements were the strictest in all of Douluo Continent, including the Sun Moon Empire.

Meanwhile, Wang Dong, who had arrived earlier, sat near the front of the classroom, surrounded by girls on all sides.

Just like in his previous life, Wang Dong's incomparably handsome face had undoubtedly drawn the girls' cheers.

At that moment, an elderly woman in a white robe entered through the classroom door.

Although she had a head of graying hair, the elderly woman's back was ramrod straight, and she was full of vitality, like a vigorous young person.

The elderly woman swept her gaze around and strode onto the podium.

Everyone she looked at felt an invisible pressure arise in their hearts.

Only Huo Yuhao was completely unaffected, the corner of his mouth curling into a cold smile.

This was Zhou Yi's first display of dominance.

Using her Soul Emperor-level strength, she had taken the lead in exerting pressure on the students' minds.

In this way, students with weak mental defenses would naturally and unconsciously be led by Zhou Yi in their thinking.

"Hm?" Zhou Yi also noticed Huo Yuhao's unusual state. However, she merely assumed he was somewhat special and paid it no mind. She said calmly, "My name is Zhou Yi."

"For the next year, I will be your homeroom teacher. I'm not sure how many of you will still remain by then."

"But let me tell you this: in my class, no trash will ever pass the assessments. I only train monsters. I do not train idiots."

Zhou Yi's broken-gong voice was hoarse and grating. Combined with her words, it was dripping with mockery.

After hearing Zhou Yi's words, indignation appeared on many students' faces.

Outside this classroom, they were heaven's favored children, elites among their peers.

Yet in Zhou Yi's mouth, they had become trash and idiots.

Almost no one could endure such humiliation.

"We're not idiots!"

No one knew who first shouted those words. In an instant, the crowd erupted, and everyone began shouting along.

Yet amid that wave, only Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao beside Huo Yuhao did not join in.

Xiao Xiao had wanted to follow the crowd and shout as well, but seeing that Huo Yuhao had not joined them, she inexplicably fell silent too.

"Tch. A bunch of fools. They don't even realize they're being used as weapons."

Huo Yuhao looked out the window disdainfully.

His seat was quite good, right by the inner side of the classroom and in the back row, with a window beside him.

At that moment, a breeze swept in, carrying the classroom's shouts out the window. The noise startled birds into flight and set the branches swaying.

"What did you say?" Xiao Xiao, beside him, seemed to have heard his muttering and pressed him for an answer.

Huo Yuhao turned toward her and said, "Guess why the first person to speak said 'we.' Do you know where he is?"

Xiao Xiao was utterly stunned, momentarily at a loss.

After a moment, as though she had thought of something, she said to Huo Yuhao, "But what if... he really didn't think that much about it?"
