After leaving Mingde Hall, Yao Shi then spoke to Meng Hongchen.

"Senior Sister Meng, isn't it a bit too much of an overestimation of your seniority to call my grandfather 'Uncle'?"

"Huh? What do you mean by 'super double'? Junior brother, what are you talking about?"

Yao Shi's words left Meng Hongchen utterly puzzled, her face filled with confusion.

"Oh well, never mind."

Yao Shi was too lazy to explain anymore. Although Meng Hongchen didn't understand, she still happily pulled Yao Shi towards the third-year teaching building.

Two strikingly good-looking people walking hand in hand on campus created a beautiful scene, attracting the attention of many students.

Wow, they're both so pretty!

"Hey? Isn't that Senior Meng Hongchen? Who's that pretty girl she's holding hands with?"

"Is she also a student in our college? How come I've never seen her before?"

"Aww, two pretty girls together, it's just so wonderful..."

"I know that person. I think his name is Yao Shi, and he's a boy..."

"Is this... the legendary process of giving birth to children?"

Yao Shi spent relatively little time at the academy, so not many people knew him. However, Meng Hongchen was very famous at the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy, both as Jing Hongchen's granddaughter and for her talent as a Soul Master and Soul Tool. She was practically a campus goddess.

Ignoring the whispers of those around them, the two walked quietly toward the teaching building.

Before long, Yao Shi arrived in front of the third-year school building.

Yao Shi didn't stay in this teaching building for very long, but overall it didn't seem to have changed much, considering it had only been a little over a year.

It was noon, during class time, and these level-two Soul Engineer were learning about Soul Tool in the classroom.

Yao Shi, who was being led by Meng Hongchen's hand, finally arrived at the classroom of Class 2, Grade 3.

Through the glass window, Yao Shi immediately recognized Yao, who was engrossed in making Soul Tool inside.

Most of the students in the third-year classroom were only in their teens or early twenties. Although Yao had become younger, he still looked like he was in his twenties or thirties, so he stood out among the students.

Since it was during class time, and the creation of Soul Tool required concentration, they were not allowed to be disturbed, so the two of them did not rush in.

Yao Shi by the window, using his spiritual power to sense the changes in Yao's body.

... The Abundance Power within his body was normal, and it was continuously nourishing and strengthening his body...

Fortunately, it didn't develop into Abominations of Abundance, but rather Celestial. With the strengthening of the Abundance Power, it shouldn't be a problem for Grandpa's physical body to be strengthened to the Titled Douluo in the future.

"Phew~"

Yao Shi breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no abnormal changes in Yao's body.

Looking at Yao, who was intently making Soul Tool inside, Yao Shi also filled with emotion. Who would have thought that Yao, who was sitting inside, was just an ordinary farmer who struggled to survive more than ten years ago?

"Let's go, Senior Sister Meng. There's still a long time before get out of class ends. Let's go outside and wait."

After confirming that Yao was alright, Yao Shi's previous tension vanished, and he turned to Meng Hongchen with a smile.

"Okay, let me show you around the campus."

Meng Hongchen immediately agreed happily, since there weren't many opportunities to be alone with her junior brother.

"Let's go then."

After Yao Shi nodded, Meng Hongchen took his hand again.

Once outside the teaching building, the two were almost touching, strolling through the campus and chatting casually.

A year ago, Yao Shi spent on campus before being accepted as a disciple by Jing Hongchen, he spent his time studying soul guidance knowledge between two points. After being accepted as a disciple, he started going to the Mingde Hall again, and hardly ever walked around or observed the campus outside.

"Junior brother, can you tell me where you've been all this time? Grandpa said he couldn't find any information about you, and Uncle Yao also said you didn't go back. I knew something must have happened to you, and I'm really worried."

Meng Hongchen, who was originally very happy to be alone with Yao Shi, began to choke up as she spoke.

Yao Shi thought for a moment after hearing this, and then spoke.

"Uh... to put it simply, I was attacked for no reason on my way to find my grandfather and was seriously injured, so I found a place to recuperate."

"I only fully recovered in the last few days, and then I rushed back."

Meng Hongchen looked indignant after hearing this, and her grip on Yao Shi's hand tightened.

"Who hurt you? Didn't they know you were my grandfather's disciple?"

"Do you know who attacked you? Should we ask Grandpa to take us to get revenge?"

"Puff!"

Upon hearing Meng Hongchen's words, Yao Shi couldn't help but chuckle.

Meng Hongchen rarely showed a hint of displeasure towards Yao Shi, "Hmph~ What are you laughing at? It took us more than a year to recover from being injured by that person. Shouldn't we go and get revenge?"

Yao Shi looked at her, smiled, and shook his head.

"Of course we need to take revenge, but not now. Besides, the enemy is very strong, and even our teacher is no match for them."

Meng Hongchen was shocked upon hearing this, "The person who attacked you was Titled Douluo?"

Yao Shi shook his head.

"Could it be that you were attacked by Limit Douluo, or someone from the Shrek Academy?"

Meng Hongchen continued to speculate that the only ones who could threaten her grandfather were Super Douluo or Limit Douluo.

As for a top-tier powerhouse like the Limit Douluo, the only place she could guess was Shrek Academy.

"More or less, but whether they're actually from the Shrek Academy is hard to say."

Yao Shi nodded and said that he did not directly say that it was God Level, after all, for Jing Hongchen's current cultivation level, there was no difference between Limit Douluo and God Level expert, both of whom could kill him in one move.

"Oh my god!"

"Junior Brother, it's a miracle you survived an attack from Limit Douluo!"

As she spoke, she began to check whether Yao Shi still had any trace of the wounds inflicted on him by the Limit Douluo.

"Senior Sister Meng, what are you doing?"

Yao Shi was also taken aback by her action.

Meng Hongchen said matter-of-factly, "Of course I'll check if you have any other hidden injuries. The opponent is Limit Douluo; even if he doesn't die, he'll definitely have some injuries left."

"Be good, let me see."

"No, Senior Sister Meng!" Yao Shi immediately restrained her. "My injuries were all healed by that suddenly appearing Divine Tree. I'm perfectly fine."

"Oh, I see. It's good that the Divine Tree healed me."

As Meng Hongchen spoke, a hint of disappointment still showed on her face.

Although it was fleeting, it was still keenly captured by Yao Shi.

No, Senior Sister Meng, what exactly are you disappointed about?

At this moment, Meng Hongchen gently stroked Yao Shi's cheek again, and said softly with a smile.

"Junior Brother, you're alright, that's wonderful!"
