Tian Meng Awakens, Tang San's Insomnia

Wang Dong's sudden action instantly drew the attention of the entire class.

Ning Tian was also taken aback, wondering where this rather good-looking fellow had popped out from.

Even so, she maintained a calm exterior and reached out to stop Wu Feng, who had stepped forward, ready to take direct action.

"Your seat? There's no name written on it."

Ning Tian and Wang Dong locked eyes, neither showing the slightest sign of backing down in terms of presence.

Huo Yuhao watched this scene with great interest.

In terms of status and standing on the Douluo Continent, Ning Tian was not necessarily a step below Wang Dong.

Both of them were heirs to one of the Upper Three Sects; whether it was the treatment they received from childhood, the cultivation techniques they practiced, or the confidence that radiated from within, both far surpassed their peers. One could tell at a glance how they differed from ordinary people.

But if you were to talk about going any higher than that...

Then, sorry to say, Wang Dong would win by a landslide.

Never mind Ning Tian; even in the entire Douluo Continent, no one would dare claim they could compete with her background.

If you were truly stubborn enough to investigate to the very end.

You would likely only reach one conclusion.

The sky over the Douluo Continent would go dark.

If you pushed her into a corner and she really brought down a Sea God, wouldn't you be a fool, brother?

However, the two girls currently facing off were not considering such complex matters.

Wang Dong and Ning Tian were simply finding each other an eyesore.

"He is my roommate, so the seat next to him is naturally mine!"

Wang Dong declared her sovereignty without a second thought.

Wang Dong didn't know what had gotten into her today, but she simply did not want this woman who had appeared out of nowhere to sit next to Huo Yuhao.

"There are still seats on the other side; you can sit over there."

Although Ning Tian was also annoyed by the other's attitude, she still wanted to maintain her composure in front of the person she liked, hoping to leave a good impression on Huo Yuhao.

"And what if I don't?"

Wang Dong had no intention of compromising, pressing forward step by step.

With things having reached this point, anger flared in Ning Tian's heart.

Did this person really think she was a pushover?

Just as the atmosphere between the two sides reached a breaking point, a tall figure walked into the classroom right on time, her heels clicking as she clutched a stack of books.

Huo Yuhao looked up and easily recognized the person's identity.

Mu Jin, their homeroom teacher for Class Nine.

"Everyone, quiet down and return to your seats."

Seeing the chaotic state of the class, Mu Jin felt helpless and could only tap her books against the desk to make everyone settle down.

Seeing that the teacher had arrived, Wang Dong couldn't continue the confrontation and could only huff in great dissatisfaction before sitting on the other side of Huo Yuhao.

Watching the class quiet down rapidly, Mu Jin nodded in satisfaction and began her self-introduction.

"Hello everyone, I am Mu Jin. Starting today, I will be your homeroom teacher..."

Listening to Mu Jin's introduction, Huo Yuhao felt bored for once. Just as his mind began to wander, he felt his clothes being tugged on his left side.

Wang Dong was on his right, so that meant it was Ning Tian on his left.

Huo Yuhao turned his head and, sure enough, met Ning Tian's eyes.

Taking advantage of Mu Jin's introduction, Ning Tian blinked and asked in a low voice.

"What is your name, classmate?"

"How old are you, classmate?"

"Where is your home, classmate?"

The rapid-fire questions left Huo Yuhao stunned. Was she here to run a background check on him?

But when he saw the slightly shy expression on Ning Tian's face, Huo Yuhao understood instantly.

My cursed charm!

And so, in order not to hurt the heart of a young girl, he had no choice but to tell Ning Tian his name.

As for the rest, he decided to skip it.

Upon learning Huo Yuhao's name, Ning Tian felt a secret thrill. After a moment of thought, she boldly asked.

"Then, classmate Yuhao, which dormitory do you live in? Which bed are you in?"

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao immediately became guarded.

Woman, why are you asking that?

"You want to play with fire!?"

"No, that's not it."

"You want to play with me???!"

Seeing Huo Yuhao's suspicious expression, Ning Tian snickered; she was quite pleased with her little prank.

Just as she prepared to continue learning more about Huo Yuhao, someone else grew displeased.

Wang Dong, sitting on Huo Yuhao's other side, had been listening for a while, and her expression had clearly soured.

She first let out a cold huff, reached out to yank Huo Yuhao toward her side, and then looked at Ning Tian triumphantly, as if showing off a trophy.

The two girls' gazes met once more, and the air instantly filled with the heavy scent of gunpowder.

To this, Huo Yuhao could only think:

Stop fighting, you are both my wings; this puts me in a very difficult position.

On the podium, Mu Jin also noticed the trio's small antics. Just as she was about to call out to stop them, a rumbling sound came from outside the window.

It sounded like a large group of people running out in unison.

Huo Yuhao instantly guessed that it was those unlucky souls from Class One who had just been chased out by Zhou Yi.

They were off to run one hundred laps around the playground.

He felt a sudden sense of schadenfreude.

It was fortunate he had avoided Class One, where that devilish old hag Zhou Yi resided; otherwise, wouldn't he just be asking for trouble?

It was at this moment that a familiar voice suddenly rang out in Huo Yuhao's mind.

"Yo, what era is this? They still use such primitive training methods?"

It was none other than Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

Hearing the voice of Brother Sky Dream, Huo Yuhao felt a surge of joy. Ignoring the two young women on either side of him who were still vying for his attention, he went straight into his Sea of Consciousness.

Inside the Sea of Consciousness, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had already awakened and was currently shaking its head and stretching its limbs.

However, its body was so plump that its movements looked strangely comical.

Of course, it was completely oblivious to this.

After stretching, the first thing Sky Dream Ice Silkworm did was examine Huo Yuhao's current physical condition.

It didn't matter if it didn't look, but one glance left it both shocked and delighted.

"Not bad, Yuhao, you've actually reached level fifteen?"

"Brother didn't misjudge you after all; you kid are destined for great achievements in the future!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm praised Huo Yuhao with great satisfaction, though it was mostly due to its own mysterious self-confidence.

"It's all thanks to the cultivation technique from my teacher."

Huo Yuhao did not forget that Ghost Demon Venerable was still in his Sea of Consciousness, so he tested the waters slightly.

Finding that the Black Cyclone where Ghost Demon Venerable resided showed no reaction, he continued to ask Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

"Brother Sky Dream, has your strength fully recovered?"

"Still a little off."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm replied without hesitation.

"But it's nothing serious. Brother is the only million-year soul beast on the entire continent; this little bit of consumption is nothing."

"I woke up early just to check on your condition and to tell you that Brother can now borrow your body to strike once."

"If you really run into any problems, call for Brother immediately, understand?"

Seeing the serious look on Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao nodded in agreement.

"Understood."

"That's good."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm nodded, then curled its body back up.

"Then Brother will take a nap; you focus on your lesson."

At this point in the classroom, Mu Jin had finished her self-introduction and had begun explaining some basic knowledge about soul masters, in which Tian Meng clearly had no interest.

"Although it's all old, dusty stuff, it's still somewhat useful for you. Study hard..."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice grew fainter and fainter, clearly drifting off into dreamland.

I have to say, Huo Yuhao truly envied its speed and quality of sleep.

It was truly the only soul beast to sleep its way to a million years of cultivation.

However...

Huo Yuhao secretly glanced at the location of Ghost Demon Venerable and frowned imperceptibly.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had already woken up, so why hadn't Ghost Demon Venerable?

Is this even possible?

Or perhaps...

Huo Yuhao could not confirm the current state of the Ghost Demon Venerable for the moment, so he simply stopped worrying about it and exited his Sea of Consciousness.

At the same time, he made a silent resolution.

He would spend more time under the Sea God Statue later; it would give him more peace of mind.

Just after he left, the Ghost Demon Venerable within the Black Cyclone opened his eyes.

Ignoring the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who had fallen into a deep slumber, the Ghost Demon Venerable cast his gaze toward reality, looking at the basic knowledge regarding spirit masters that Mu Jin had written on the blackboard, and muttered to himself.

"Spirit masters, spirit beasts, spirit power... interesting."

Meanwhile, in the God Realm, inside the Asura Mansion.

Tang San suddenly opened his eyes.

He found he could no longer sleep.
