Huo Yuhao's Fortune Strengthens?

"Why are you hiding over there? It's like I'm bullying you."

Lu Wu casually glanced at the ball of light cowering off to the side.

The Plane Consciousness did not want to speak. It still had not recovered. This guy had actually torn it apart, then pulled out its rules and examined them bit by bit.

It did not hurt, but it still felt strange, especially when it had seen the inside of its own body with its own eyes.

"Stay over there and behave. I'm going to cultivate for a while."

Lu Wu adjusted his posture and prepared to begin cultivating in earnest. He had to admit, the energy concentration here was quite high.

"Okay, okay."

The Plane Consciousness did not dare refuse and obediently stayed to the side without daring to move.

Who knew how much time had passed? Lu Wu seemed to have fallen asleep, showing no reaction whatsoever to the outside world.

The Plane Consciousness wanted to run, but then it recalled that this extraterrestrial demon had so many methods that it simply could not escape his clutches.

But after giving it some clever thought, it decided that secretly making a few small moves should be fine.

Thus, the Plane Consciousness looked down at itself in distress. Its original body shrank by an almost imperceptible amount as an invisible gas quietly merged into the space before leaving it and entering the Douluo Continent.

"Once the Child of Destiny I chose grows up, I'll capture you and repay every single thing you did to me."

The Plane Consciousness cursed Lu Wu inwardly, praying that its Child of Destiny would grow quickly and rescue it.

Yet its shallow perspective could not judge Lu Wu's realm, much less imagine just how powerful he was. It could only ignorantly await the Child of Destiny's arrival.

Lu Wu noticed the Plane Consciousness's movements and also discovered that what had leaked away was fortune transformed from the plane's origin.

With a brief deduction, he learned that it had gone to Huo Yuhao, the original story's protagonist. But in the original work, Huo Yuhao's final outcome had merely been to become Tang San's dog. When the time came, Lu Wu could simply hand him over to Di Tian for further tempering.

Not bothered by this minor interruption, Lu Wu settled his mind and continued cultivating.

"Brother Sky Dream, do you know what exactly caused that earlier phenomenon?"

Having finally settled down at Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao appeared to be sitting on his bed cultivating, but he was actually chatting with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in the Sea of Spirit at the same time.

"I don't know either. Yuhao, you know what happened to me—I was captured by those bastards the whole time. I finally escaped, only to directly sacrifice myself to you."

"The only thing I know is that the Silver Dragon was probably the master Di Tian spoke of. Don't tell me it was caused by my million-year heavenly tribulation?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm wriggled his plump body. The phenomenon had appeared twice. Perhaps the first one really had been caused by him, an unprecedented million-year Soul Beast. Maybe heaven itself had been mourning his departure.

Huo Yuhao stared at Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's strange smile in confusion, unable to understand what his Brother Sky Dream had thought of.

Huo Yuhao did not actually care what had caused the so-called phenomenon, but the students around him were all discussing it, and even the fish vendor was deeply troubled by it.

Most importantly, the panic caused by the various phenomena had already affected normal life. Fish prices had begun to rise, which was not good news for the frugal Huo Yuhao. The same was true for other supplies.

Fortunately, the cafeteria meals remained at their original prices. This counted as one of the few pieces of good news Huo Yuhao had received since enrolling.

"Yuhao, a powerful expert has arrived!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm seemed to sense something and instinctively shrank into a corner. Only after remembering that he was already considered dead did he finally let out a breath.

Before Huo Yuhao could react, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm hurriedly urged him to wake up.

"Dong'er, your Second Father is here."

A rough voice rang out, followed by several heavy knocks on the door. Huo Yuhao felt as though the entire room were trembling.

Dong'er? Wang Dong! Huo Yuhao realized that the visitor was looking for his proud roommate, Wang Dong.

Huo Yuhao quickly got out of bed to open the door, paying no attention to the visitor calling himself Wang Dong's Second Father.

The moment the door opened, a burly figure like an iron tower suddenly appeared before Huo Yuhao. At eleven years old, Huo Yuhao could barely reach the man's stomach.

The gentle smile on Er Ming's face instantly stiffened when he saw the boy before him. Was this the bastard living with Dong'er? Since this was Wang Dong's dormitory, Er Ming had not used his spiritual power to investigate the situation inside. Hearing the hurried commotion within, he had assumed it was Dong'er. Instead, it was this little skinny fellow.

"Hello, Senior. My name is Huo Yuhao, and I'm Wang Dong's roommate. Wang Dong went into the city to buy things today and isn't in the dormitory right now."

Sensing the cold, stern aura emanating from the other man, Huo Yuhao's voice trembled slightly. Why did this man seem to be in such a bad mood?

Er Ming rubbed his face and forced out a smile, while inwardly cursing that bastard Tang San for insisting that Dong'er disguise herself as a boy to attend Shrek Academy.

Because he had come in a hurry, Er Ming had not carefully looked into Wang Dong's situation after enrolling. Wouldn't it have been enough to ask directly?

But because of that, he did not know how Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao got along now. Dong'er had not had a single friend growing up in the Clear Sky Sect. If the two had a good relationship, Er Ming would not go looking for trouble on his own.

"Dong'er isn't here? Then I'll just wait for her in the dormitory."

Er Ming happened to want to ask someone what Wang Dong was like in other people's eyes.

Looking at the fierce-looking Er Ming before him, Huo Yuhao really wanted to refuse. But remembering Brother Sky Dream's words that he was a powerful expert, and knowing that he was Wang Dong's elder, Huo Yuhao still stepped aside and let Er Ming enter.

"Dong'er lives in a place like this?"

As he examined Huo Yuhao's bedding, Er Ming more or less understood Huo Yuhao's circumstances. But he was far from satisfied with where Wang Dong slept.

"Shrek Academy is still too stingy. Dong'er's blanket should at least be made from silk spun by ten-thousand-year Ice Silkworms, and the bed should be made from Golden Ancient Tree wood. That tree is so huge—what's wrong with cutting off a little..."

Hearing Er Ming's complaints, Huo Yuhao was dumbfounded. Though he did not know what the Golden Ancient Tree was, he knew very well what Ice Silkworms were. Brother Sky Dream was still cursing in the Sea of Spirit, saying this was exploitation of the Ice Silkworm race.

Silk spun by ten-thousand-year Ice Silkworms—how many would it take, and how long would they need to save up enough? How expensive would that be?

Huo Yuhao once again realized just how formidable his roommate's family background was.

"And you, kid. Why are you so frail?"

Er Ming's massive palm landed heavily on Huo Yuhao's shoulder, nearly making him collapse. Was Wang Dong's Second Father really this strong?

Er Ming did not go too far, after all. The root of everything was that Tang San in the heavens.

But as he withdrew his hand, a strange glint still flashed through his eyes. There was something wrong with this kid. A powerful spiritual force was sealed within his body.

Having had his own power sealed for nearly ten thousand years, Er Ming had plenty to say on the matter. That force was already nearly as powerful as his own.

Was this kid also part of your scheme, Tang San? A trace of wariness flashed through Er Ming's eyes without revealing itself.

But whatever you intend to do, I won't let it succeed. That power is too dangerous. Tonight, I'll secretly add a few dozen more layers of seals, and while I'm at it, take Dong'er farther away from this kid.

Huo Yuhao had no idea that his cheap roommate was about to be whisked away, much less that his "hidden energy source in his back" was about to be sealed.

Just as Huo Yuhao was honestly answering Er Ming's questions, hurried footsteps sounded in the corridor.
