Wu Feng Awakens, Huo Yuhao: I Regret It

Shrek Academy, infirmary.

Wu Feng slowly opened her eyes from her coma, her gaze filled with an indescribable sense of confusion.

What happened?

Where am I?

"Hiss..."

As a sharp pain surged through her head, Wu Feng seemed to recall something; her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.

"I actually lost??!"

"Lost to that commoner?!!"

Wu Feng did not want to admit it, but her current surroundings were undeniable.

This was the infirmary.

Not only had she failed to defeat Huo Yuhao, she had even been sent to the infirmary.

As for who had brought her here, Wu Feng had no idea.

She silently prayed in her heart that it wasn't Ning Tian.

Wu Feng did not want Ning Tian to see her in such a pathetic state.

"Wu Feng, you're awake?"

Hearing the movement on the bed, Mu Jin, who had been keeping watch, pulled back the curtain and walked in, asking with concern.

After Xuan Zi had delivered Wu Feng here, he had naturally left long ago.

After all, the order Mu En had given him was simply to bring her here and ensure she didn't die.

As for the rest, Xuan Zi had simply left it to the infirmary staff.

After being so bluntly stung by Huo Yuhao's words, he had no mood left to stick around and watch the spectacle.

The infirmary teacher had quickly treated Wu Feng and immediately notified Mu Jin, her homeroom teacher.

"Teacher Mu Jin, did you bring me here?"

Seeing Mu Jin, Wu Feng subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and asked.

As long as it wasn't Ning Tian, it was fine.

"No, it was Elder Xuan from the academy."

Mu Jin shook her head, offered a brief explanation, and then asked with a serious expression.

"Wu Feng, how did you get so badly injured? Did you get into a fight with someone?"

As the homeroom teacher of Class Nine, she naturally needed to be responsible for every student in her class.

She was not like that person Zhou Yi, who only cared about the outstanding students in her class.

Although Wu Feng could not strictly be considered an ordinary student—her talent and strength were among the best of all the freshmen—the principle remained the same.

If a student was in trouble, she, as the homeroom teacher, was clearly responsible.

Not to mention that this incident had even alarmed Elder Xuan.

Mu Jin felt her teaching credentials were on shaky ground.

"..."

Faced with Mu Jin's inquiry, Wu Feng was silent for a moment, then turned her head to the side and answered reluctantly.

"Huo Yuhao."

"Who?"

Mu Jin was clearly stunned, not expecting that name to come out of Wu Feng's mouth.

She knew Huo Yuhao; he was also her student.

He had no outstanding performance in class and had always remained obscure.

However, what surprised her was that compared to Wu Feng, Huo Yuhao's Soul Power Level and soul ring age were far inferior; the two were clearly not on the same level of strength.

Mu Jin was certain that if it weren't for a guaranteed admission spot from the Tang Sect, such a student would never appear at Shrek.

But now, Wu Feng was saying that her injuries were caused by Huo Yuhao??

Was she serious?

"Was it Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong?"

Mu Jin thought carefully and asked tentatively.

In her view, how could a soul master with only one white soul ring defeat Wu Feng, who possessed a top-tier beast martial soul and a perfect soul ring ratio?

But if Wang Dong were involved, it would be much more reasonable.

After all, Wang Dong was not only a Soul Grand Master with two soul rings, but his martial soul quality was also extremely high, and his second soul ring was even an unreasonable thousand-year ring, breaking the soul master theories passed down by the Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang ten thousand years ago.

Could it be Wang Dong who made a move? Or did the two of them beat up Wu Feng together?

While Mu Jin was feeling puzzled by this, Wu Feng bit her lip, her fists clenched tightly beneath the quilt, looking deeply unwilling as she spoke with hatred in her eyes.

"No, it was only Huo Yuhao."

"Only Huo Yuhao??"

Mu Jin could not believe her ears, but since Wu Feng had said it twice in a row, she had no choice but to admit it now.

Perhaps she had underestimated this child, Huo Yuhao.

"Then why did you fight? Was there a conflict? Or did he bully you?"

"How do you want to resolve this matter?"

Mu Jin took a deep breath and began preparing to settle the issue.

This was no mere squabble between students; it had escalated to the point where one party had to be hospitalized and had even alarmed Xuan Zi.

Even though a professional healing-type Soul Master had already fully recovered the injuries on Wu Feng's body, if Wu Feng insisted on pursuing the matter, it would likely not be easily brushed aside.

Mu Jin had a basic understanding of the backgrounds of the students in her class.

Both Wu Feng and Ning Tian hailed from the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, one of the Upper Three Sects, and their statuses were far from ordinary.

Matters like this were generally difficult to handle; after all, unless one reached the level of a Title Douluo, one still had to rely on background when out in the world.

Even if Shrek claimed to be as impartial as could be, when trouble actually arose, the relative importance of an imperial prince versus a commoner with no background was self-evident.

"..."

Faced with Mu Jin's inquiry, Wu Feng fell silent once again.

Mu Jin waited patiently.

After a long while, Wu Feng finally opened her mouth and spoke slowly.

"Regarding this matter, I ask that you keep it a secret for me, Teacher."

"Keep it a secret? Are you sure?"

Mu Jin frowned, unable to grasp the reasoning for a moment.

"Yes, especially from Ning Tian."

Wu Feng nodded again, replying with great certainty.

Now that her injuries had been healed, one could not tell what had happened just by looking at her.

She did not want this shameful incident to reach Ning Tian's ears, and at the same time, a fire was burning in Wu Feng's heart.

She believed that the reason she had ended up in this state was because she had been too careless and underestimated her opponent.

Coupled with the fact that Huo Yuhao had ambushed her with that astonishing speed, it had resulted in the fight ending before she could even unleash her soul skills.

If she were given another chance, as long as she activated her soul skills, Wu Feng did not believe she would lose to a Soul Master whose first soul ring was only ten years old!!

Mu Jin saw the expression on her face and understood.

Wu Feng was not in the right regarding this conflict.

It seemed likely that Wu Feng had been the one to provoke Huo Yuhao, otherwise, it wouldn't have ended so easily for her.

But that was fine.

This matter could be considered resolved.

She would just need to pay more attention to these two students in the future to ensure they didn't fight again.

"Then I will inform the teachers at the inpatient department; you can be discharged with me now."

Mu Jin nodded and walked toward the exit.

After she left, a hidden rage flickered in Wu Feng's eyes as she looked in the direction of the Freshman Dormitory Building, gritting her teeth.

"Just you wait, Huo Yuhao."

"I will definitely make you regret this!"

Meanwhile, inside Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness.

Huo Yuhao regretted it.

The state of the Ghost Demon Venerable was even more insane than he had imagined.

The words just spoken were enough to reveal the other party's mental state.

Or rather, perhaps the Ghost Demon Venerable had always been this way.

It was just that he had underestimated him.

But since things had reached this point, Huo Yuhao had no reason to stop.

If you are crazy, then I am crazy too!

Let's see which one of us is crazier!!

So you want to apply pressure? Fine, I'll blow it all up with you!!

He didn't hesitate for a second before speaking up.

"There's no point in all this talk, get to the point."

"What exactly do you want?"

But the response from Ghost Demon Venerable once again exceeded his expectations.

Upon hearing this, Ghost Demon Venerable raised his hand, pointed a single finger at him, and spoke slowly.

"I want you."

"..."

Huo Yuhao suddenly laughed.

He was so angry he laughed.

Are you not even going to pretend anymore?!!
