Within Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit, a wave, though not violent, was stirring up a sense of unease.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, which was usually languid and sleepy, was now more awake than ever before, even restless.

Those small eyes, which had been somewhat hazy from years of sleeping, were now filled with urgency.

"Yuhao! Yuhao, calm down! Please! Please don't act impulsively!"

The voice of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm exploded deep within Huo Yuhao's mind, carrying an urgent tone that was almost pleading.

He knew Huo Yuhao too well. On the surface, the boy seemed quiet and reserved, and sometimes even submissive, like a soft persimmon that could be easily squeezed.

But by simply lifting a corner, one can see the unyielding, even ruthless, spirit within.

That was the fierce energy forged from over a decade of cold stares and oppression, the very backbone that supported this child as he walked alone to the Shrek Academy.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was afraid. He feared that Huo Yuhao, blinded by the humiliation and anger, would recklessly unleash his Soul Power to attack.

"This is Shrek Academy!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was so anxious that his Spirit Sea was racing, his plump body twisting into a ball. "Although there are many dirty things going on in this wretched place, on the surface, it's all about 'justice'! Rules, rules!"

"Once you make the first move, no matter how those two bastards provoke you, no matter what grand reason you have, in the eyes of those old fogies who use rules as a pretext, you are wrong! You are the one who started the trouble!"

Although Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's mind is as simple as a blank sheet of paper, he is not stupid.

Although he spends most of his time sleeping, he still understands basic survival logic.

He saw it clearly: the two senior students blocking the door never pushed or shoved Huo Yuhao, not even touching him with their fingers.

They were using language, that disgusting, condescending attitude, and those blatant lies to provoke Huo Yuhao.

They were fishing; they were waiting for Huo Yuhao, this little fish, to jump out of the water in anger, so that they could rightfully raise their fishing rods.

They can enjoy the pleasure of extreme torture while simultaneously claiming it's "self-defense."

At that time, Huo Yuhao will not only get a beating for nothing, but he might also be punished for "attacking a senior".

At best, solitary confinement; at worst...

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm dared not think any further.

His plans, Huo Yuhao's future, must not be ruined by such a blunder.

"Yuhao, listen to my advice, don't rush, don't fall for their tricks!"

Fearing that his words were not weighty enough, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm quickly brought out the biggest promise he had made to Huo Yuhao, which was one of the main sources of motivation for Huo Yuhao to be able to stand here.

"Have you forgotten our plan? You must cultivate diligently! Once you reach level 20, I'll personally take you on the journey to the Far North!"

Once we get there, I'll give you Second Martial Soul! Your talent will be greatly enhanced, your cultivation speed will increase rapidly, and you can take your revenge however you like."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice possessed a captivating magic, yet it was also filled with undeniable sincerity.

"Once you possess Second Martial Soul, your cultivation speed will be like a rocket!"

Level 30, Level 40, Level 50... By then, these senior students who are currently swaggering in front of you, and that Dai Huabin who's been tripping you up from behind, will all be nothing but dust!

They will only be stepping stones on your path to growth! You can crush them into the mud with one step, they won't even be considered dust!

Huo Yuhao listened to Brother Sky Dream's rambling yet earnest words in his Sea of Spirit, the anger that was about to burst through his skull was extinguished as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over it.

In a corner of my heart, a long-lost warmth arose because of that pure concern and anxiety.

Yes, Brother Sky Dream is right. It's not worth getting angry with these ants.

Huo Yuhao's future is boundless, like the stars in the sky; how could he let himself be defeated in this ditch?

He took a deep breath, forcing his rapid breathing, which was made quick by anger, to calm down, and his fingernails slowly loosened from his palm.

He quickly adjusted his mindset, forcibly suppressing the fierceness in his eyes and transforming it into something deeper and more restrained.

We must wait.

Wait until level 20, wait until the Far North, wait until you have enough power.

When the time comes, he will collect all the old and new grievances, one by one, with interest!

He had witnessed far too many scenes of powerful figures deciding life and death with a single thought and overturning the world with a wave of their hand at the White Tiger Duke's Estate.

The strong don't even need to get their hands dirty; with just a glance or a command, countless people will rush to crush the weak.

He too would become that kind of powerful figure, so that these ants who now clamor before him wouldn't even have the right to look up to him.

Having adjusted his mindset, Huo Yuhao raised his head again, his face regaining its usual expression of timidity and forbearance.

He was even prepared to lower his head slightly, adopting a submissive posture, just to escape this predicament.

Once they got to the classroom, with the teacher watching, the two guys didn't dare to go too far.

He made up his mind that no matter what nasty things these two guys said, he would treat it as the barking of dogs and would never respond or lay a hand on them.

However, just as he was about to bow his head and admit defeat, the two senior students who had been wearing mocking smiles exchanged a glance and took a step forward at the same time.

This step, carrying a distinct sense of pressure, directly invaded Huo Yuhao's comfort zone.

Their sneers deepened, their eyes revealing a cruel, cat-and-mouse game. They showed no restraint whatsoever because of Huo Yuhao's "cooperation," but rather seemed to find the boy's restraint even more amusing.

Huo Yuhao frowned deeply, his heart skipped a beat.

What's going on? What do these two guys want? Wasn't that rant about school rules just meant to provoke him?

Now that he's not angry anymore, and is even prepared to back down, they're actually closing in?

Do they really dare to make a move in broad daylight, under the watchful eyes of everyone? Do they really disregard the academy's rules?

This is the entrance to the Teaching Building, a place where students frequently come and go. A considerable crowd of onlookers has already gathered around. Aren't they afraid?

Looking at those two faces so close to him, faces filled with malice and mockery, Huo Yuhao knew he was in trouble.

There was something wrong with the way those two looked at them. It wasn't just the look of someone wanting to vent their anger; it carried a real, visibly urge to inflict pain.

They seem genuinely intent on taking action, and they're willing to do so regardless of the consequences!
