Awakening

"Mm..."

Mu En was somewhat surprised as well. Though he had noticed something unusual earlier, he truly had not expected there to be a person inside this thing.

"Something is wrong with her physical condition."

Elder Zhuang spotted the abnormality at a glance.

Glowing green cracks had appeared across Yu Wuyi's pretty face and small hands, with specks of light slowly leaking from them.

He did not understand what kind of symptom this was, but he could feel her life force slowly fading away.

"Do you have any way to treat it?"

Elder Zhuang shook his head. This was the first time he had seen such a condition.

"I can only forcefully sustain her life for now by replenishing her life energy. Her condition is more like natural decomposition."

Mu En understood. He used his soul power to move Yu Wuyi into Xuanzi's arms.

Xuanzi caught her instinctively, and the soft touch felt somewhat unreal.

The person he had exhausted every means to try and touch just moments ago was now lying quietly in his arms.

"Elder Mu, what exactly is this?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, anything carrying hostility will be unable to touch this child."

Mu En explained.

So that was it! Xuanzi suddenly understood, but it also raised another question.

"What kind of power can achieve something like this?"

As a level ninety-eight Super Douluo, he already stood at the peak of this world. Yet even he had been helpless against this power. Could it be...

He looked at Mu En. Something that could leave a Super Douluo powerless could only be an Ultimate Douluo, could it not?

Yet Mu En shook his head and said, "I can only vaguely sense this power. Even an Ultimate Douluo could not achieve this, unless the other party possessed a spatial-type martial soul."

Yet the total number of Ultimate Douluos across the entire Douluo Continent could be counted on one hand. They all had some connection with one another, but not a single one possessed a spatial-type martial soul.

As for some unfamiliar spatial-type soul master concealing themselves from all those people and breaking through to Ultimate Douluo?

Would you believe that, or believe that I'm Qin Shi Huang?

"There is no point in dwelling on this now. We should wait until this child wakes up and ask her yourselves."

"And remember to have someone explain things to the academy's students. With the commotion you caused just now, anyone who didn't know better would think Sea God's Pavilion had broken out into civil war."

After leaving those words behind, Mu En leisurely returned to Sea God's Pavilion.

Xuanzi rarely showed a trace of embarrassment, though it had all been for the academy's safety.

"Now it's my turn to ask questions, right?"

Qian Duoduo stared at Yu Wuyi with shining eyes, as though he had discovered some rare treasure.

"What kind of technology is this?! Such a huge soul tool just vanished like that?! How did it do that?!"

His thirst for knowledge was enormous—he practically wanted to dissect her on the spot!

Xian Liner unceremoniously grabbed his ear and yanked him back.

"That's enough from you. Look at that perverted expression of yours. Even if the girl were awake, you'd scare her unconscious!"

"Ah! Ow, ow, ow! I was wrong, I was wrong! But Liner, aren't you curious about what happened to that soul tool?!"

"Even if it's a divine artifact, you still need to speak normally!"

Xuanzi had long since grown used to the two of them. After sighing, he carried Yu Wuyi back to Sea God's Pavilion as well.

Elder Zhuang and Elder Song followed one after another.

Afterward, the academy came forward with an explanation: it had merely been an ordinary meteorite from beyond the heavens, and the tremendous commotion earlier had been caused by the academy's higher-ups intercepting it.

This explanation was quickly accepted by most people, since quite a few had indeed seen something fall from the sky.

However, there were also rumors that the academy's higher-ups had failed to intercept the meteorite. Otherwise, how could they explain the wave in Sea God Lake?

For a time, news of a meteorite falling upon Shrek City continued to spread, soon reaching the entire city and expanding further still.

However, the elders turned a deaf ear to it. Rumors could not be explained away; as long as they did not affect the academy itself, it was fine.

And so, as time flew by, a month passed.

Sea God Lake had now returned to its former appearance, white silken clouds reflected upon its tranquil blue surface.

Inside one of the rooms within Sea God's Pavilion, the gray-haired girl lay quietly on the bed.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly as her eyes slowly opened.

An unfamiliar ceiling...

Yu Wuyi slowly sat up and looked around at her surroundings, her head still somewhat foggy.

Right, I fainted earlier because of Entropy Loss Syndrome.

[Host consciousness restored. Invulnerability rule lost.]

What the hell?

He looked at his hands. The glowing cracks on his fair skin were clearly visible.

If I'd known even illnesses would carry over, I wouldn't have pushed it this far. With the roleplay percentage so low, even my resistance had dropped.

End the roleplay.

[Notice: the roleplay state can only be ended within Wuyi All-Purpose House.]

[Likewise, after reaching the objective, the commission will only be considered complete upon returning to Wuyi All-Purpose House.]

His fists clenched.

"WHY! DIDN'T! YOU! TELL! ME! SOONER?!"

His groggy mind was jolted fully awake by anger. He wanted nothing more than to punch the system twice on the spot.

[You didn't ask.]

You little—

"Calm down, calm down. Don't get mad at a system. Otherwise, I'm the only one who'll lose out."

He got out of bed and forced his weak body over to the window.

A vast lake stretched out before him, with numerous buildings in the distance.

Below lay a golden beach, where seagulls stood in pairs.

"Damn system, where the hell did you send me? Is this still within the Heaven Soul Empire?"

He focused on the lake, and the data scan gave him the answer.

Sea God Lake.

Damn!

You sent me straight to Shrek Academy!

And if I'm not mistaken, I'm currently inside Sea God's Pavilion.

"Young lady, your body is still very weak. You need to remain in bed and recuperate."

Elder Zhuang, white-haired and kindly, pushed open the door. He seemed to know that Yu Wuyi had awakened.

Name: Zhuang Yusen

Age: 70

Cultivation: Rank 95

Martial Soul: Tree of Life

Identity: Life Douluo, elder of Sea God's Pavilion at Shrek Academy.

A Super Douluo right off the bat. Good thing this was Shrek. If it had been somewhere like the Holy Spirit Church, he didn't even want to imagine it.

This body was Firefly's now, so he could only go along with it...

"Hello, Elder Zhuang~"

Yu Wuyi put on the appearance of a polite young girl.

Ugh~ I've got goosebumps all over.

Zhuang Yusen was quite surprised.

"You know me?"

"Of course I do. The renowned Life Douluo, whose Martial Soul is the Tree of Life, a rarity in this world!"

Yu Wuyi recited it all as though he knew it by heart.

"Oh? It seems this old man is rather famous after all."

Zhuang Yusen smiled as he walked to the bedside and waved for Yu Wuyi to come over.

Understanding his meaning, Yu Wuyi walked over and lay down on the bed.

"Do you know that you suffer from a peculiar illness?"

"I do."

Entropy Loss Syndrome, Yu Wuyi answered immediately.

"And do you have a way to treat it?"

His answer piqued Zhuang Yusen's interest. He had saved countless people in his life, yet he had no solution at all for this illness.

That was why he was very curious about how Yu Wuyi had dealt with it before.

Time to test my acting skills! Yu Wuyi thought to himself.

Then he put on a despondent expression:

"This condition causes people to fall into an irreversible state of natural dissociation, so strictly speaking, it cannot be considered an illness, but rather a phenomenon."

"So... there's no solution to this condition."

Firefly's cute yet haggard face, paired with her unwilling yet helpless tone as she spoke this cruel reality, was enough to make anyone who heard it grieve and weep.

"I see..."

Zhuang Yusen wore a sorrowful expression as well. Reality had cruelly inflicted an incurable condition upon such a young girl.

Even he, the Life Douluo, had no solution.

Secretly glancing at Zhuang Yusen's expression, Yu Wuyi gave her own acting a huge thumbs-up in her heart.
