Huo Yuhao had already forced his way through the crowd. Although he had not managed to squeeze inside, he could at least see what was happening within.
"Wow, junior, what's your name? You're so handsome."
"Let's be friends. My name is xxx."
"Are you hurt? I have medicine for treating injuries."
"Little junior, I'm a healing soul master. How about we go somewhere, and I'll help you?"
Huo Yuhao watched Wang Dong being pursued and fussed over by the girls.
His memories were instantly pulled back to when they had first met.
The argument that had broken out over how the cleaning duties were assigned.
It was as though nothing had changed.
Heaven had given him a chance to do it all over again, to cherish this once-in-a-lifetime love and relive this fantastical journey.
Yet there were some subtle changes.
"No."
Having recovered, Wang Dong shook his head and refused.
"All of you, get lost! Stop crowding around me!"
If anyone else had shouted like that, the people surrounding them might have cursed back or even started throwing punches.
But Wang Dong's looks were enough to suppress all their tempers. They even found him domineering and handsome.
"Wow, this little junior is so domineering. I like him so much."
"..."
Wang Dong was speechless when he heard that.
He directly pushed them aside and prepared to leave. Just as he was about to go, Huo Yuhao spoke.
"Wang Dong!"
At their first meeting, Huo Yuhao did not know how to describe the sound of his own voice, but his heart could not stop trembling.
"Hmm?"
None of these people could call his name, yet someone had. Wang Dong was a little curious and turned to look over.
When he saw that it was merely a weakling barely above level ten, Wang Dong instantly lost all interest.
"What is it?"
The cold voice shattered all of Huo Yuhao's fantasies in an instant.
That was right. They did not know each other yet. Being too enthusiastic might have the opposite effect.
"I want to get to know you. My name is Huo Yuhao."
Huo Yuhao took the initiative to push through the crowd, stepped forward, and held out his hand.
However, Wang Dong looked at the hand extended toward him. It was exceptionally thin. It was not exactly dirty, but he still had no desire to shake it.
Too weak. He did not even deserve an explanation. Wang Dong kept his arms crossed and rolled his eyes.
"I don't want to get to know trash."
The current Wang Dong was a top-tier young master. There was no way he would take the initiative to get to know a piece of trash, especially one who had come crawling up to him.
Someone would have to defeat him in some aspect first.
He was not in the mood to spar right now. He wanted to find the person who had kept rejecting him.
After saying that, Wang Dong left directly and headed for the freshmen dormitories.
But Huo Yuhao followed him, since he happened to be going the same way.
Tap, tap, tap!
The footsteps were frequent and right behind him. As Wang Dong walked, an inexplicable irritation rose within him. He glanced sideways, saw that the other person was still following, and could no longer hold it in.
"Are you annoying or what? Why do you keep following me?"
Huo Yuhao had not realized Wang Dong was angry at all. He only thought Wang Dong was still the same as before, merely acting proud and tsundere. He wore a cheeky grin.
"But I need to go in too. I'm a new student as well."
"Hmph."
Upon hearing that, Wang Dong stomped his foot, turned around, and left. He did not even enter the freshmen building, deciding to go clear his head instead.
"Hey!"
Huo Yuhao raised a hand to stop him, only to see that Wang Dong did not even look back. He even released his Martial Soul, and wings grew from his back.
Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth when he saw that...
He wanted to chase after him, but was he worthy? Right now, he was not worthy at all. He was only a soul master. How could he possibly catch up to Wang Dong, who was already a Soul Elder?
He wanted to raise his hand and stop him, but all he could do was sigh helplessly.
Just then, Bei Bei suddenly called out to him.
"Yuhao, let's go."
Only then did Huo Yuhao turn and notice that an old man was standing beside Bei Bei. He knew this old man—it was Mu En, the teacher who had taught him Heavenly Dominion.
"Come with us. After all, you saved Bei Bei's life."
Mu En had his own reasons for bringing Huo Yuhao along. He was very curious what treasure Huo Yuhao, who was only at the level of a soul master, could have used to save someone who had lost so much vital blood.
Could Elder Zhuang and the others study and analyze it if he brought it over?
"Alright."
Thus, Mu En took Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao away, heading for the Inner Court.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Tang Ya was taking Jiang Mu around Shrek Academy.
His expression was not particularly good.
Tang Ya took Jiang Mu through Shrek Academy's cafeteria, classrooms, and plaza. They had visited everywhere, and now they had arrived at the entrance.
There were statues in the square before the entrance.
"These statues are of the founders of Shrek Academy, as well as the Master who created the Ten Core Competence Theories."
Tang Ya raised her hand as she explained. She introduced the Master first, then looked to the side and pointed out Flender and Liu Erlong.
Finally, she came before the statues of the Shrek Seven Monsters. She placed her hand on Tang San's statue, paused for a moment, then said:
"This is the statue of Sea God Tang San, the founder of the Tang Sect and the person who destroyed Spirit Hall's evil plans."
"Mm."
This was a very good question.
Jiang Mu did not say anything. Even if he analyzed it, no one would believe him. Besides, he could only analyze what had truly happened; he could not pass judgment.
Moreover, based on the information he knew, Spirit Hall unifying the continent might not necessarily have been a good thing.
Because after unification, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue would inevitably fight another battle.
The continent would suffer another devastating blow as well.
It would be fine if Qian Renxue won. If she could maintain free Martial Soul awakenings and distribute Gold Soul Coins to ordinary people, that would be acceptable.
But if Dongzi won, the entire Douluo Continent would be finished. After all, all she saw was her Brother Gangzi.
Then again, perhaps not. There were all kinds of possibilities, but it absolutely could not have been nothing but wonderful.
He would have to see it for himself.
Jiang Mu stroked his chin in thought. The treasure chest rewards could be said to contain everything. He wondered whether he could draw one that would let him return to the past.
If he could return to ten thousand years ago, he could certainly offer a proper critique.
One was lost in wild thoughts while the other continued explaining enthusiastically for a while longer.
"Alright, there's nothing else to see. That's basically it."
"Mm~"
Jiang Mu nodded. Seeing that everyone was already at the entrance, should they just return to the inn? There were no classes tomorrow anyway; they would only begin the day after.
After speaking, he looked up at Tang Ya. A thin sheen of sweat had appeared on her forehead. Her lips were dry from all the explaining, and her tongue quickly swept over them as she breathed lightly.
"Ha~"
"Is there anywhere else you want to go?"
"No, Tang Ya. Let's go straight back to the inn. I have something to tell you."
The instant she heard that, Tang Ya clearly misunderstood. Jiang Mu saw her face stiffen, then slowly turn red before she nodded.
"Alright."
It was fine. She had some wicked thoughts of her own anyway. Jiang Nannan was not around, so they had a rare quiet moment.
