Is This Plastic Surgery?

Qualification for entering the Inner Court is determined by the final exam scores each semester. A zero score in the first semester means Ning Yue and Yu Longheng will need to put in several times the effort to close the gap with others and qualify for the Inner Court...

After thinking for a moment, Shen Yi didn't say anything, but led the two of them towards the Soul Tool Train Station in Eastsea City.

It was at this moment that she saw a familiar figure.

He was a man, slender with sharp eyes, a high nose, thin lips, and an overall upright demeanor. His long, lake-blue hair reached his waist, and as a gentle breeze blew, the strands fluttered, revealing his unique charm.

This is... Wu Zhangkong?

"Senior brother!"

As Wu Zhangkong walked towards the Spirit Pagoda, he heard a familiar voice coming from behind him and looked in surprise at Shen Yi's location.

"Shen Yi?"

He and Shen Yi were fellow disciples, both students of the Crimson Dragon Douluo of the Shrek Academy.

"It really is you. I heard you were in Eastsea City before, and I was thinking of going to find you, but I was busy with my assessment mission, which made me late."

Shen Yi walked over, looked Wu Zhangkong up and down, and smiled, "How have you been?"

"Hmm." Wu Zhangkong nodded lightly, looking at Ning Yue and Yu Longheng not far away, "Are they the ones who were captured by the Spirit Pagoda during the previous assessment?"

"... You're still so ruthless." Shen Yi sighed helplessly, "That's right, they were students captured by the Spirit Pagoda for attacking passersby on the roadside."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhangkong withdrew his gaze, hesitated for a moment, and then reminded him:

"The college's assessment system needs to be changed."

"I will make the suggestion." Shen Yi asked curiously, "By the way, how did you know about this?"

Only a handful of people knew about this at the time, could it be...?

Wu Zhangkong said expressionlessly, "They are students from the Eastsea Academy, and I am their teacher. Recently, Xie Xie has been telling others in class about the rudeness of the Shrek Academy students."

Well, he couldn't refute it, which left him with mixed feelings.

From another perspective, Shrek's assessment... is somewhat hated.

"They're your disciples?" Shen Yi's eyes lit up. "Do they have any intention of Shrek?"

"They are from the Spirit Pagoda, but they are my students, not my disciples."

Wu Zhangkong shook his head straightforwardly, causing Shen Yi's bright eyes to dim, and he sighed.

"I see. That's a bit of a pity. With such talent, if he had entered the academy, he would surely have become a figure who stirs up a storm in the future."

Wu Zhangkong knew who she was referring to, but didn't reply. He simply asked, "Now that you've picked them up, when do you plan to leave?"

"I've received word that the Heaven Sea Alliance Grand Competition is already in preparation. They plan to invite Shrek Academy students to play an Exhibition Match for this tournament. The academy wants me to go there to discuss this, and I'll be staying here for a while."

Shen Yi offered an explanation, then countered with, "You still don't plan to go back to the academy?"

"In no mood."

Wu Zhangkong looked in one direction and gently shook his head.

"Well... alright." Shen Yi sighed helplessly, and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something, "Will they participate in the Heaven Sea Alliance Grand Competition?"

Wu Zhangkong nodded. "This year's graduating class is the strongest ever. Eastsea Academy, wanting to make a name for itself, won't let this opportunity slip by. And as young geniuses, they always need a stage to showcase their talents. In Eastsea, the Heaven Sea Alliance Grand Competition is a good choice."

Yu Longheng, who had been silent all along, suddenly looked at Wu Zhangkong, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, his nails digging deep into his palms, yet he felt no pain whatsoever.

Will that guy get involved too?

"Long Heng, what's wrong?" Ning Yue, who was beside him, noticed his unusual behavior.

Yu Longheng did not answer, his mind replaying the scene from that day.

He will repay the pain of being suppressed by his bloodline with his strength, absolutely!

In the Spirit Pagoda, Gu Yuena took out her Soul Guidance Screen, hesitating whether or not to make the contact.

Today marks the 81st day since Yuhao left. Should we ask again?

Gu Yuena tapped on the Soul Guidance Screen, but ultimately put it down.

Yuhao said it'll be soon, let's wait a little longer.

Xu Xiaoyan skipped and hopped into the hall assigned to their Class Zero by the Spirit Pagoda, noticing Gu Yuena, "Na'er, what are you looking at?"

"I didn't see anything."

Gu Yuena calmly put away the Soul Guidance Screen, got up and walked towards the window.

Xu Xiaoyan walked over and asked with a puzzled look, "Why hasn't Yuhao come back yet? Dean Yu has come to inquire about him several times. He seems really anxious."

As she asked the question, Xu Xiaoyan secretly observed Gu Yuena's expression.

But the latter maintained a cool expression and replied:

"He'll be with his teacher for a while longer..."

Gu Yuena stopped halfway through her sentence, looked towards the direction several hundred meters away from the Spirit Pagoda, a slight smile appearing on her lips, and said no more.

Xu Xiaoyan noticed this scene and looked over, where she spotted a familiar figure.

It's Yuhao back... Come to think of it, why do I feel like Na'er and Yuhao have some kind of connection?

They discovered it as soon as they got back...

On the Spirit Pagoda, Huo Yuhao chatted with the staff for a while and arranged a place for the Deep Sea Demonic Whale to stay.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale followed him back to the Eastsea Sea coast. If he didn't settle it properly, it might be hunted down as a Soul Ring.

As Huo Yuhao turned to leave, he sensed a connection approaching and paused.

"Yuhao!" A clear, bell-like voice came from the direction of the elevator. Huo Yuhao turned around and saw Gu Yuena walking towards him. Her black hair was like a waterfall, her black eyes were like water, and a white dress outlined her perfect figure. Her steps were slow and composed.

But Xu Xiaoyan, who was panting behind her, knew the truth.

"Na'er, wait for me!"

Xu Xiaoyan, with her short legs, followed behind, muttering under her breath, "She was in such a hurry when she came down, why is she pretending to be so calm now..."

Gu Yuena's ears twitched slightly, clearly having heard Xu Xiaoyan's complaints, but she chose to ignore them and focused her gaze on Huo Yuhao.

"You're back." Gu Yuena walked up to Huo Yuhao, looking him up and down, her heart skipped a beat.

Yuhao seems to have changed a lot...

Xu Xiaoyan caught up and also noticed something was off. "Yuhao, you seem... to have gotten a lot better looking."

The young man standing before me was tall and slender, his simple white outfit highlighting his well-proportioned figure. His shoulders were much broader than before, but his waistline remained lean and strong. What was most striking was his face—his once ordinary features were now sharply defined, his nose was high and straight, and his brows held both the freshness of youth and the composure of maturity.

However, what is most striking is still his eyes; his pupils have become deeper and clearer, like the blue that contains the entire Starry Sky.

Did Yuhao get plastic surgery these days? The results are amazing!

Xu Xiaoyan blinked, looking somewhat confused.

Where, could she try?
