Gu Yuena sighed inwardly. Right now, she had no ability to move against him. In fact, before she was certain what contingencies those God Kings had left behind, she could only probe slowly, or the consequences would be hard to predict.
At that thought, she felt a trace of regret over having impulsively taken human form and lowered her own strength.
Huo Yuhao observed her discreetly. Seeing that she had no intention of taking action, he pondered for a moment and did not hold back his information, sending the news to Gu Yuena through Spiritual Sharing.
"The Plane Master's surname is Tang, and the one who possesses the Golden Dragon King God Core is also surnamed Tang."
Gu Yuena's eyes shifted slightly, and she said gently, "Thank you for your reminder."
Surnamed Tang... The Plane Master and that child just now were both connected to the Sea God, Tang San? The Plane Master was the greatest contingency?
It was indeed troublesome... If it were only the Plane Master and her, that would be one thing. They could simply determine who was stronger. But now there was also the abyss outside. If she and the Plane Master fought to the death, the Abyssal Sage King would probably Lie Down and Win!
As she thought this, Gu Yuena looked up at Huo Yuhao and clenched her fists in secret. It's fine. Right now, I'm in the shadows. Neither the Abyssal Sage King nor the Plane Master has noticed me. As long as I can reach a cooperation with this God King... the advantage is mine!
In two other places, people also had thoughts similar to hers flash through their minds.
Tang San's Divine Sense was worried about losing the power of his divine sense, so he did not continue observing Tang Wulin in the outside world, missing a chance for "sudden enlightenment." He thought inwardly:
No matter how strange that petty thief who stole destiny may be, once I retrieve the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and fully display the power of a God King, then fight alongside my parents, I will naturally be able to return Douluo Continent to the right track and complete my Ten Thousand Year Plan. The advantage is mine!
The Abyssal Sage King looked at Douluo Continent and revealed a greedy smile. A material plane without the Plane Master present, and there isn't even a single god-level being inside. The advantage is mine!
As for Huo Yuhao, he calmly walked along the road toward the cafeteria and said nothing more.
As everyone knew, a triangle was the most stable structure!
The Intermediate Division's cafeteria was in a small building beside the main teaching building. The small building had three floors, respectively used by the six grades of the Intermediate Division for meals. First and second years were on the first floor. Based on the quality of the ingredients, the meals were divided into three types: A, B, and C.
Huo Yuhao ordered a portion of the best A meal, tasting it while sensing the condition of his body.
He understood his body very well. That trace of the Silver Dragon King Bloodline had definitely increased more than just his Elemental Affinity. To a certain extent, it had also increased his appetite—or rather, the efficiency with which he absorbed and converted energy.
However, it could not compare to the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, and because there was only a trace of it, the effect was not large.
As he thought this, Huo Yuhao glanced at Gu Yuena, only to see that she was in the middle of taking a second A meal.
"..."
No wonder she wanted to come to the cafeteria. You really did want to eat.
Speaking of which, this person should be able to control her appetite.
She had not eaten much at the welcoming banquet before. It was not like she was Na'er when she had lost her memories...
Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow and withdrew his gaze.
Perhaps he knew the fundamental reason why Gu Yuena was different from the impression he had of her.
At night, starlight spilled through the window and onto the floor.
Gu Yuena lay on the bed, looking at the Soul Tool Communicator in her hand, her delicate brows tightly furrowed. Several times, she wanted to dial a few numbers, but in the end, she gave up, turned over, and placed the Soul Tool Communicator on the table.
Not yet. "Huo God King" had merely told her about the most dangerous existence. That did not mean there were no other god-level methods on that person. After all, no matter how strong Huo God King had been at his peak, it was impossible for him to be omniscient and omnipotent.
If she directly sent Di Tian and the others to probe, someone might die... It would be better to wait until she recovered a certain amount of strength.
At that thought, Gu Yuena relaxed. Her long hair scattered casually over the pillow, her legs bent slightly, the tips of her toes touching the bedsheets. Her entire posture looked utterly languid, as though all her exhaustion had been released in this moment.
Going to school for the first time, and with a reincarnated God King at that. What a strange experience...
"Beep, beep, beep—"
The sound of the Soul Tool Communicator rang out, making Gu Yuena, whose breathing had gradually been calming, open her eyes helplessly. She picked up the Soul Tool Communicator and answered.
"Bi Ji? What is it?"
What came from the other end of the Soul Tool Communicator was not Bi Ji's gentle voice, but a female voice that was cool yet lively.
"Master, I don't want to keep pretending anymore. Your teacher is torturing me too much. She keeps wanting to meet the head of the Hidden Family—the Ancient Clan. I'm about to be annoyed to death. Why did we make it so troublesome back then? Wouldn't it have been fine to directly find an ordinary soul master family as the source of the identity..."
"Hold it in."
Hearing that somewhat aggrieved voice, Gu Yuena's voice turned cold at once. "You were the one who wanted to take human form back then, and you were also the one who wanted to register your name as my older sister. Then endure it!"
If you did not beat a naughty child for a day, she would climb up and tear the roof tiles off.
Back then, it was precisely because she had treated this fellow too well that she had ultimately been forced to swallow the bitter fruit, causing her authority to be greatly questioned. She absolutely could not indulge the other party again!
Absolutely not!
"This name sounds nice."
The person on the other end seemed to have only been complaining casually, and when she heard that, she immediately laughed.
"And this is a name I came up with myself. Using your surname, my name, and adding the character for autumn... Even your teacher said our family's names were well chosen and had a lot of charm."
That was just polite talk.
Thinking this, Gu Yuena did not dampen her spirits. "Is there anything else? This is Bi Ji's number."
A burst of noise sounded from the other end.
"Let me talk to Master a little longer, Bi Ji."
"That's enough, Miss Gu Ruiqiu. You're not the Lucky Beast right now. You are the representative of the Hidden Family, the Ancient Clan, and you are not familiar with us. Hurry up and leave. Go attend the Spirit Pagoda meeting as the newly joined representative of the Ancient Clan."
"...If I'd known becoming human meant doing this kind of thing, I might as well have stayed as that whatever Peace Ambassador."
As the footsteps and muttering faded into the distance, Bi Ji took the Soul Tool Communicator, smiled helplessly, and said softly, "Sorry to disturb you, Master. There's something I'd like to report to you. The Extreme North Branch still had the White Bear King attend the headquarters meeting. The Snow Empress didn't come. By now, she hasn't appeared in public for several decades. Could she already have..."
"Don't bother with it. The timing of her disappearance was very subtle. She probably underwent Human Form Re-cultivation, and she should have already returned to her peak."
Gu Yuena glanced at the room to her right and murmured, "For her to be willing to give up Eight Hundred Thousand Years of cultivation and start over, this God King must have promised her something."
"???"
Bi Ji's eyes gradually went blank.
What are you talking about?
What god, what king? Why can't I understand any of this?
You only went to Eastsea for school...
"You don't need to mind it. Get some rest," Gu Yuena came back to herself, paused, and said, "Good night."
"All right, good night..."
Looking at the disconnected Soul Tool Communicator, Bi Ji's heart churned like stormy seas. In the end, she forced those two terrifying words out of her mind and instead thought of the Snow Empress.
Having completed Human Form Re-cultivation with over Eight Hundred Thousand Years of cultivation, she was probably taking another step beyond the peak. Compared to Di Tian in Four-Word Battle Armor, and the Heaven Supporting Douluo, the number one person on the continent... how strong was she?
In Huo Yuhao's room, he sat cross-legged on the bed, meditating. When midnight arrived, he asked within his Spiritual Sea, "Old Yi?"
"No powerful existence has rushed to the academy."
Hearing Old Yi's answer, Huo Yuhao raised his brows slightly.
From the looks of it, he wouldn't be seeing anyone familiar in the near future.
He had deliberately not told Gu Yuena about Tang San's Divine Sense because he wanted to see her personality and way of doing things.
Miss Gu Yuena was still very prudent. She hadn't sent any Fierce Beasts over, nor had she made a move herself. He apologized for doubting her wisdom earlier.
However, the fact that Gu Yuena herself had not acted meant she truly could not freely recover her strength.
Today, Old Yi also had not detected any fluctuations of divine sense power surrounding Tang Wulin. Tang San's Divine Sense probably still had flaws.
Two pieces of core intelligence, confirmed.
