The Height of Acting
Huo Yuhao's voice lowered slightly. "... Spirit Power can kill? Is it that terrifying? Are there any Soul Master with such power in the academy? Teacher, will we freshmen be in danger?"
A series of questions, all filled with fear and worry, yet she acted like a frightened ordinary child, showing no sign of anything unusual.
He was even trembling slightly, his eyes filled with fear of the unknown powerful figure, showing absolutely no resemblance to the word "murderer".
Teacher Zhang frowned, her sharp gaze softening slightly, and she remained silent.
Teacher Li smiled, reached out and pressed down lightly, trying to smooth things over. "Don't be afraid, the academy will definitely find out who it is, and will never let a student get into trouble for no reason."
Just asking you, have you ever had any contact with Soul Master of the Mental Attribute before? By the way, I saw in your registration information that you have Body Martial Soul?
The topic suddenly shifted to Martial Soul, the probing intent of which was obvious.
Huo Yuhao knew that the other party was directly testing his abilities.
He was prepared, and upon hearing this, he nodded and honestly said, "My Martial Soul is the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul, which is a spirit-type Body Martial Soul. It's only level ten or so now, and it doesn't have much attack power."
I've only ever seen Spirit-type Soul Master in textbooks; I've never encountered one, let alone known one.
As he spoke, he raised his right hand, a faint purple-gold light appearing in his eyes. A white Ten-Year Soul Ring slowly rose from beneath his feet, only to dim quickly after a brief flash.
His movements were very small, as if he was struggling to use even a little Soul Power, and his tone was a little embarrassed. "Teacher, look, I only have one Ten-Year Soul Ring, and my only Soul Skill is Spiritual Detection. I don't even have an attack Soul Skill. Yesterday, when those two beat me up, I didn't even have the strength to fight back. I could only cover my head and take the beating."
The light flashed and disappeared in an instant; it was indeed only the most basic Spiritual Detection, pitifully weak in strength. It couldn't even break through the mental defenses of Three-Ring Soul Master, let alone kill someone with Divine Soul Shock.
Judging from the fluctuations in his Soul Power, he was indeed just a One-Ring newcomer.
Teacher Zhang's brows furrowed even more.
From the perspective of Soul Power, this kid has no ability to commit the crime at all.
Even if a One-Ring Soul Master has the strongest spiritual talent, it's impossible for him to kill two Three-Ring Soul Elder across two major levels, especially using Mental Attribute methods, since he doesn't even have Mental Attribute Soul Power.
Could it really not be him?
Teacher Li's smile remained unchanged. Suddenly, she reached out her hand, palm facing Huo Yuhao's wrist. "Let me check how your injury is healing. You were so badly injured yesterday, but you look a bit more energetic today."
Before he finished speaking, his palm had already gently pressed against Huo Yuhao's wrist to check his pulse.
A gentle and mellow Soul Power probed into the meridians. It seemed mild and harmless, but in fact it had extremely strong penetrating power. It traveled up the wrist and headed straight for Huo Yuhao's Dantian Sea of Qi and the Sea of Spirit his eyebrows.
This investigation was extremely detailed, clearly revealing even the flow of Soul Power in the meridians and the depth of the Soul Ring in the dantian. Any slight abnormality would be immediately detected.
Huo Yuhao's heart tightened, and he subconsciously tried to use his Spirit Power to resist.
"Don't move! Absolutely don't move!"
The voice of the Tianmeng Spirit Silkworm exploded instantly. "Let him probe! I'll block him. Just pretend to be in pain, and whatever you do, don't use your Spirit Power to resist, or you'll give yourself away!"
Huo Yuhao instantly relaxed all his muscles, letting the Soul Power flow through his body, but his brows furrowed even more, as if he was uncomfortable from the impact of the Soul Power.
The power of the Tianmeng Spirit Silkworm spread out silently, like an invisible, warm film, completely enveloping the entire Sea of Spirit.
As for his dantian, Huo Yuhao originally only had One-Ring Soul Power, and his meridians were indeed damaged from the beating, causing his Soul Power to circulate poorly. There was no trace of him faking it.
Teacher Li's Soul Power circulated within his body, but found nothing unusual.
His Soul Power was weak, his meridians showed signs of damage, and the bruises on his back were indeed caused by an external blow; the blood clots had not yet completely dissipated.
He looked like an ordinary freshman who had just been beaten up. His foundation wasn't bad, but he was definitely not capable of killing someone from a higher level.
But he still felt that something was wrong.
How could a freshman who was severely injured and unable to walk recover to the point of being able to sit up and speak in just one night?
Even if the infirmary's healing ointment is specially made by the academy, its effects shouldn't be this miraculous.
He withdrew his hand and smiled casually, "The recovery is going quite well, much faster than expected. You have a good constitution. Or is there some special recovery method?"
Huo Yuhao had been waiting for him to ask this. Hearing this, he scratched his head, smiled a little embarrassedly, with a hint of youthful naiveté in his smile, "I don't know either. Maybe the medicine in the infirmary was too effective?"
The teacher on duty changed my dressing last night. It Sisi when applied, and the pain immediately lessened a lot. After a nap, I felt much better.
Teacher, is this medicine very expensive? Will it deduct my credits? I don't have many credits as a freshman.
Huo Yuhao did not reveal that the medicine he used was given to him by Lin Ye.
The topic suddenly shifted to academic credits, instantly easing the serious and tense atmosphere.
Teacher Zhou, who was holding a recorder next to him, couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile, but quickly suppressed it and lowered his head to record something on the Soul Guidance Instrument.
Teacher Li was also taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and waved her hand, "Don't worry, the treatment won't deduct your credits. Just focus on recovering."
His doubts, however, were not completely dispelled.
That's perfectly normal.
It's so normal it's almost deliberate.
An eleven or twelve-year-old child, encountering a murder case, remained calm and composed when questioned by three teachers from the academy. He answered fluently and flawlessly, even his emotions were perfectly controlled.
This in itself is not a reaction that a normal child should have.
He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly changed the subject, his tone becoming more serious, and the smile on his face faded, "Huo Yuhao, you need to know that in the Shrek Academy, concealing the truth is a serious offense."
If this matter is truly related to you, speaking out now could be considered a form of leniency, and the college will handle the matter accordingly.
"If we wait until we find the evidence ourselves, the situation will be completely different."
These words carried a clear sense of pressure; the gentle tone had faded, leaving only seriousness.
An invisible spiritual pressure spread out along with the words, pressing down on Huo Yuhao.
This is Soul Douluo- level mental pressure, specifically designed for immature young people. Most students would panic and confess everything if they were frightened like this.
Huo Yuhao's body froze instantly.
His face turned deathly pale, his lips trembled slightly, and his eyes quickly welled up with tears, as if he had been terrified. "T-Teacher... I really don't know... I was beaten so badly yesterday I almost passed out, and I've been lying in bed ever since. I can barely get out of bed, how could I possibly be involved in this... I can't even leave the school gate..."
