Intensive Care

"Xixi." Lu Wanwan supported her.

The proctor and the two volunteers who had just been on stage quickly went up to take people away for treatment.

In this match, all six people were injured to varying degrees, but Huo Yuxi was the most serious, with multiple fractures and numerous large and small wounds from soul power fragments.

Originally, when blocking Yin Zhicai's Third Soul Skill, her soul power had been almost depleted. Forcing the use of the Third Soul Skill afterward directly led to her soul power being exhausted, and she fell into a coma.

At this moment, on the other side, Huo Yuhao and his teammates' opponents this time were very strong. The match ended a bit later. Fortunately, thanks to his and Wang Dong's Haodong Power, they had successfully entered the top sixteen.

"Class monitor, come on, tell us, what exactly did you two do? That Ning Tian suddenly fainted, it scared me."

Xiao Xiao walked ahead, insisting that the two tell her how they secretly eliminated Ning Tian on the field.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong exchanged a look and smiled, "Actually, there were no other tricks. I 'borrowed' Wang Dong's soul power to launch a mental shock. She was caught off guard and knocked unconscious."

"So that's how it was." Xiao Xiao nodded, her suspicious gaze sweeping over the two, "No, why do I feel like you two are a bit off?"

"Hmm?"

"What's wrong?"

They were all classmates and teammates. Moreover, Xiao Xiao and Huo Yuxi were roommates and got along well. Huo Yuhao had automatically classified her as one of his own.

He had explained his and Wang Dong's situation to her earlier entirely because he was afraid she would overthink things and feel excluded.

But judging by her tone now, she still didn't understand his meaning?

"It's just… your friendship is too good?" At the age of eleven or twelve, although they had learned some knowledge, they hadn't imagined something like this happening around them.

"Ah?" Huo Yuhao didn't understand.

Wang Dong, however, understood. Seeing Huo Yuhao's confused and scratching-his-head look, she said angrily, "Xiao Xiao."

While the atmosphere here was joyful, Huo Yuxi and Ning Tian, who were far away in the infirmary, were much more subdued.

With the help of a high-level healing Soul Master, Huo Yuxi finally regained consciousness, although her entire body still felt sore and her bones felt as if they had been shattered.

The infirmary was a double room. Huo Yuxi was lying by the window. As she opened her eyes, her gaze was unconsciously drawn to the light outside the window.

"You're awake? How do you feel?"

Huo Yuxi turned her head. An elegant woman was treating the patient in the bed next to her.

As expected, that patient was Ning Tian. However, Huo Yuxi didn't recognize him. From her perspective, he was just a boy with a very handsome profile.

"My body still hurts a little. Thank you, Teacher."

A hoarse voice sounded, and Huo Yuxi was startled by her own voice. How had her voice become like this?

Sensing her confusion, the healing teacher said, "After being injured on the field, you persisted in overdrawing your soul power, causing exhaustion. Drinking some water will help."

"The pain is because your bones were shattered. However, your body is quite miraculous. Although your physique is weaker than that of an ordinary person, your recovery ability is incredibly fast."

After finishing the treatment for Ning Tian, she walked over to a small robot holding a tray, took a bottle, and walked towards Huo Yuxi.

"If it were anyone else, they wouldn't wake up for three to five days. Yours is very interesting. Rest well tonight, and you can participate in tomorrow's competition."

"My recovery ability has always been strong since childhood." Huo Yuxi forced a pale smile and turned to look out the window. Fine, it's fine! I can still participate in tomorrow's competition, but it's at the cost of my body.

Her mother had told her that the faster her recovery speed, the more depleted her body would be. That's why, before she passed away, she had repeatedly instructed Huo Yuhao to take good care of his sister.

Huo Yuhao had done that. For those few years, he absolutely wouldn't allow Huo Yuxi to get even a little bit injured, but now…

Huo Yuxi dared not think about whether Huo Yuhao would still allow her to participate in the competition if he knew about this situation.

"Here, this is a nourishing pill. After you take it, absorb and recover here for a while before leaving. That bottle is for the person in the bed next to you. Remind her to take it when she wakes up."

"Your assessment is really troublesome. There are several injured students, and I'm the only one treating them. Isn't my time my time? The academy doesn't understand to assign more people. What if I miss the best treatment time?"

The healing teacher muttered complaints about the academy while changing rooms to treat other students.

Her actions were swift and decisive, unlike her appearance, and quite similar to Zhou Yi's personality. It was just that the difference in their appearances was worlds apart.

Taking a deep breath, Huo Yuxi took the pill. A cool sensation filled her entire body. Not only did her physical injuries improve, but her soul power even seemed to be on the verge of a breakthrough.

Huo Yuxi simply focused on cultivating in place. After an unknown amount of time, she vaguely heard a 'crack' and had successfully broken through.

When she opened her eyes, she sensed a gaze falling on her. Turning her head, she saw that her roommate had woken up.

Ning Tian had been awake for a while. As soon as she woke up, she sensed the surge of soul power beside her, which indicated someone breaking through. Turning her head, she saw a cute little girl.

She had slightly curly black long hair, adorned with cute little clips just like hers. Her face was round and delicate, like a doll.

However, the dark bloodstains on her clothes and face made this beauty appear somewhat broken.

Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly opened her eyes and caught her staring, making her feel a little embarrassed. She turned her head to look at the sky.

"Hello, the teacher just told me to tell you to take the pill on the table after you woke up." Huo Yuxi pointed to the small porcelain bottle placed on the table.

Ning Tian picked up the bottle and tried to unscrew the cap, but found that her hands were a bit weak. Huo Yuhao, that guy, really hit hard.

Huo Yuxi got out of bed and came to her bedside. She easily opened it and poured the medicine into her hand.

"What kind of injury did you sustain? Why are you in the VIP ward of the infirmary?" Ning Tian asked after taking the medicine.

"The infirmary even distinguishes these?" Huo Yuxi looked around, not finding anything special. "I'm fine. I've almost recovered now."

Seeing that she had taken the medicine, Huo Yuxi said, "The teacher said I can be discharged. I'm leaving now. Goodbye."

She turned to leave after speaking, but just then, that feeling of weakness struck. Her vision went black, her legs faltered, and she fell.

The superficial wounds from the battlefield had already been completely healed by the treatment teacher. With this fall, her knees were once again a bloody mess.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Ning Tian had just taken the recovery pill and her body hadn't fully recovered yet. Seeing Huo Yuxi fall, she quickly supported herself and got out of bed to help her.

Casually taking Huo Yuxi's pulse, she was surprised to find it steady and rhythmic, even stronger than a normal person's.

This shouldn't be. Huo Yuxi's skin was unnaturally pale. This body, combined with this pulse, just felt strange no matter how she looked at it.
