The Academy's Compensation Is Already a Tremendous Blessing

The Academy's Compensation Is Already a Tremendous Blessing

"Ah, little Yuhao, luckily I woke up this time to help you control my power. Combined with that mysterious thing in your Spiritual Sea, you need to be more careful after this. Your body can no longer withstand another inheritance of this kind of power."

Tian Meng spoke gloomily, his eyes filled with resentment.

"Yawn... I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going back to sleep..." Tian Meng yawned, and his figure gradually faded away.

Huo Yuhao opened his eyes. Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao beside him woke up at the same time as well.

Before Ma Xiaotao could completely attack, Huo Yuhao had used a non-stimulating Spiritual Impact to knock both of them unconscious.

Thus, their first thought was that the red figure from before had done this.

Yet standing before the three of them now was a white-clothed middle-aged man.

Since Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao had never suffered through Zhou Yi's running-based training methods, they naturally did not recognize the white-clothed middle-aged man before them, Teacher Li.

Wang Dong was impatient by nature and was the first to ask, "What's going on? Where's that crazy woman from earlier? Was she the one who attacked us?"

Teacher Li, the White-Clothed Middle-Aged Man, looked calm as he replied indifferently, "You're all fine now. As for what you saw earlier, forget it. Otherwise, the academy will expel you directly."

"These three items are the academy's compensation to you. I hope you're all sensible people."

As he spoke, Teacher Li tossed out three green objects, which accurately bounced toward Huo Yuhao and the other two.

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao instinctively caught the green objects, while the white-clothed middle-aged man, as if certain they would obey him, had already risen into the air and was preparing to head toward Sea God Lake.

"Go to class. Remember, you must forget everything you saw earlier."

The corner of Huo Yuhao's lips curled up. Just as expected.

In their eyes, this alms-like "gracious" compensation was already enough. Students like the three of them could die without the slightest concern.

Of course, Wang Dong might be an exception. After all, her identity was indeed somewhat sensitive.

If Wang Dong had truly been killed by the berserk Ma Xiaotao, Tang San might not have cared too much. After all, he had personally killed his own "daughter" once before. But those two beasts, Da Ming and Er Ming, would definitely go completely mad.

"The three of us nearly lost our lives. Does the academy have nothing to say about that?" Huo Yuhao asked calmly.

Teacher Li raised an eyebrow. His body, which had just begun to move, stopped, and an incomparably arrogant expression appeared on his face.

"The academy giving you compensation is already a tremendous blessing. Why don't you take a look at what you're holding first?"

Hearing Teacher Li's words, Wang Dong lowered her head and glanced at the green object in her hand. She froze for a moment, then her face filled with ecstatic delight.

"Wow, it's actually a Soul Ascension Pill! We've really struck it rich this time!"

"Oh? Someone actually recognizes it?" Teacher Li was somewhat surprised, but the arrogance on his face did not diminish in the slightest.

"That's right. This is indeed a Soul Ascension Pill. Such pills are extremely difficult to refine and can directly raise one's Soul Power Level. Even within the Inner Court, they are rarely supplied. Isn't giving them to you as compensation enough?"

"Heh heh..." Huo Yuhao laughed. Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao both felt as if a demon lurked within that laughter, making their skin crawl.

"Teacher, I can refuse this compensation. All I want is for the academy to apologize to me in person. I won't spread word of this matter either. How about it?"

Teacher Li's expression quickly twisted. He was not conflicted over whether the academy should apologize, but over the fact that Huo Yuhao actually dared to use this matter to threaten him!

Who gave him the nerve?

What other student would dare oppose the academy like this?

"Yuhao..." Wang Dong tugged at Huo Yuhao's sleeve. "This Soul Ascension Pill really is quite precious. How about we..."

Xiao Xiao nodded as well, indicating her agreement with Wang Dong.

After all, even if Huo Yuhao had confronted Zhou Yi, she was only a freshman class teacher.

But now, this teacher represented Shrek Academy!

And quite possibly the Inner Court!

Where were Shrek Academy's true students? In the Inner Court.

To put it bluntly, Outer Court students were nothing more than trash Shrek Academy could discard at any time.

This was why Zhou Yi had always been so fearless when expelling students in the past.

Had Huo Yuhao not used just a few words to place Zhou Yi and all one hundred freshmen of Class One in a naturally opposing position, Zhou Yi would not have been afraid to expel Class One's students.

Huo Yuhao could confront Zhou Yi, but trying to stand against the entire Shrek Academy by himself was not merely wishful thinking. Even calling it wishful thinking would be giving him too much credit.

Huo Yuhao scoffed at Wang Dong's words. "You think the Soul Ascension Pill is precious because you're still alive to enjoy it. What if you were dead?"

Huo Yuhao stared straight at Teacher Li and slowly said, "I think this Soul Ascension Pill is not more important than my life. So I want an apology. A sincere apology from the academy."

Teacher Li frowned deeply. In his view, Huo Yuhao was refusing the academy's compensation and making an unreasonable fuss here. It was truly like a shrew screaming in the street.

Since they had not died, why wouldn't they gratefully accept the academy's compensation and worship the academy even more?

This was high-level compensation from the academy! Soul Ascension Pills, which even the Inner Court had little supply of! Items equal in value to Profound Water Pills!

"Hmph, utterly unreasonable!" Teacher Li flicked his sleeve. "In any case, if the academy hears that you spread this information, it will expel you immediately! Consider it carefully and behave yourselves!"

With that, he ignored the reactions of Huo Yuhao and the other two and sped directly toward Sea God Lake.

After hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao now felt as though the Soul Ascension Pills in their hands were scalding hot. They could not help but think about how much scenery they would have missed, how much...

"Then... Yuhao, are we still going to use these Soul Ascension Pills?" Wang Dong asked timidly.

Huo Yuhao stared intently into the depths of Sea God Lake. "Use them. Why wouldn't we? This is compensation they owe us."

"But the apology..." Xiao Xiao said hesitantly.

Huo Yuhao curled his lips. "I gave them an opportunity, but they were unwilling to seize it. Then I have nothing more to say. Sooner or later, Shrek Academy will regret this decision."

For some reason, both Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao felt a chill run down their spines.

"Do you see?" Huo Yuhao turned around and looked at Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao.

"This is power. Without power, we are nothing but fish on the chopping block, at the mercy of others. If we had power, would Shrek Academy have treated us like that just now?"

"Th-this..." Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao exchanged glances, deep in thought.
