Dormitory 108. Wang Dong was staring blankly at Huo Yuhao's bed.

"Knock, knock."

Only after a wait of about ten seconds did Huo Yuhao open the door.

"Oh, our Young Master Huo finally came back! Didn't spend the night with your little girlfriends?" Seeing Huo Yuhao return to the dormitory, Wang Dong immediately perked up and spoke in a snide tone.

Huo Yuhao found Wang Dong's attitude strange, but he paid it no mind.

In the end, he had still asked Gu Yuena to teleport him into the woods. It was not as though he was unaware of the two women's feelings for him. But how could he make a home before the Divine Realm was eliminated? Once everything was over, he would naturally give them an answer.

Within his spiritual world, Electrolux could not help looking amused.

Meanwhile, Tian Meng laughed so hard he rolled around. Hahaha, Yuhao really is amazing! Tian Meng had no fondness for these two women who had bullied him. Once Yuhao gets you two... Tian Meng could not help entertaining wicked thoughts.

Since you bullied me, I'll let my host "bully" you!

Ignoring everyone else, Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged on his bed and began cultivating-after learning that the Tang Sect had a technique called the Mysterious Heaven Skill, he had decided to create a cultivation method of his own. It was rather dangerous, so progress had been slow, but he now had an initial version.

Watching Huo Yuhao cultivate without paying her any attention, Wang Dong touched the hair over her forehead, seemingly making up her mind.

The next day, Xu Yang arrived in the classroom looking thoroughly refreshed. Clearly, he still did not know what had happened to him.

Only when class began did he notice that the teacher who had arrived was Wang Yan. He asked his deskmate:

"Why is it Teacher Wang? Where are Teacher Zhang and Teacher Xiaotao?"

Xu Yang decided that once Electrolux helped him resolve his Martial Soul problem, he would show Ma Xiaotao his Ice Phoenix Martial Soul. Wouldn't she throw herself into his arms then?

Then he would use the opportunity to build good relations with Shrek's higher-ups and squeeze Huo Yuhao out. How would Huo Yuhao compete with him then?

"Something seemed to happen to Teacher Xiaotao a few weeks ago. Teacher Zhang took leave too, so Teacher Wang Yan is filling in for now."

Something happened to Ma Xiaotao? Could it be the Evil Fire? Looks like I can't delay any longer!

Xu Yang sent his consciousness into his spiritual world. There was nothing inside.

Wait, where's my Electrolux? Where's my Sky Dream Ice Silkworm? Where's all my Spiritual Origin?

Xu Yang suddenly slammed his hand on the desk and stood up, his face contorted.

"Is something wrong, Xu Yang?" Wang Yan asked gently. He had noticed Xu Yang's ugly expression too. However, he had heard that Xu Yang's mother had recently passed away. Perhaps he was too distraught.

"N-no, nothing." Xu Yang slowly sat down, trying hard to calm himself.

Taking out the box that held the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife, Xu Yang opened it with hope filling his heart. When he saw that there was nothing inside, he slumped into his chair, motionless, as though all his bones had been sucked out.

At that moment, only one thought remained in his mind: They actually betrayed me? They actually dared to betray me! It's over. It's all over!

Seeing Xu Yang like this, Wang Yan did not disturb him. Perhaps he had remembered his days with his mother and could not bear the blow for the moment. What a filial child!

Xu Yang's commotion also drew Huo Yuhao's attention.

"You're saying there's something very wrong with this Xu Yang?" Huo Yuhao asked the two residents of his spiritual world.

"That's right!" Tian Meng looked solemn. "He seems to know a lot, even some very secret things. I even suspect he can foresee the future."

Hearing Tian Meng's words, Huo Yuhao fell into thought. He had originally assumed that Xu Yang simply lusted after beautiful women, but from what Tian Meng said, it seemed things were not so simple.

"Yuhao, are you thinking of making a move against him?" Electrolux saw through Huo Yuhao's thoughts.

"I'm planning to extract his memories directly," Huo Yuhao admitted frankly.

"I wouldn't advise doing that right now."

"Is there a problem?"

"This Xu Yang seems to have a deity's attention. I don't know the other party's circumstances, but they are definitely no simple figure!"

"Is he an heir to a Godhood Inheritance?"

"Absolutely impossible!" Electrolux said firmly. "This person's character is far too poor. How could he be an heir to a Godhood Inheritance? Perhaps there is some other purpose."

"Then I won't touch him for now. He won't amount to anything anyway. Killing him would only beat the grass and startle the snake."

After weighing things up, Huo Yuhao made his decision. If killing Xu Yang alerted the Divine Realm and prompted it to forcibly break through the blockade around Douluo Star, the losses would outweigh the gains.

Huo Yuhao had read a great deal of material during this time and had gained a clear understanding of the history of the Douluo Continent and some of its secrets.

However, when he read the material on Sea God Tang San, he felt very uncomfortable.

It was too clean. The records on this man were simply too clean! There was not a single blemish, as though that Tang San were a perfect person.

That was impossible, of course! Even the Emperor had things he had done poorly, and he himself would admit them. But this Tang San had none whatsoever! That could only mean one thing: this man had tampered with history!

And Huo Yuhao knew that someone who would tamper with history could not possibly be an upright person. He might even be the complete opposite of what the books recorded.

Moreover, the history books wrote at great length about Tang San's father, emphasizing his talent, bravery, and extraordinary background, while there was almost no mention of his mother. Had she done something to wrong the father and son?

Then there was Tang San's wife. All that was known was that, like Tang San, she had been a member of the First Generation Shrek Seven Devils, and that she was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, a Soft-Boned Charm Rabbit who had taken human form.

Oh, it also recorded that she had sacrificed herself for Tang San. As for all the lavish accounts of their love, Huo Yuhao found that very hard to understand. Were history books there for you to show off your love?

Especially when he saw the words "Come back to life, my love," Huo Yuhao could feel the embarrassment. Although he had regained some of his humanity, he did not want to regain it this way.

Shaking those thoughts out of his head, Huo Yuhao stopped thinking about other matters and continued with his own work.

I'm very satisfied with Ma Xiaotao's behavior. Although she made mistakes, she isn't someone who refuses to correct them after realizing them. I'll resolve her problem.

As for that Yan Shaozhe, I'll leave him to Mr. Mu En.

The virus bullets have finished being cultivated too. I'll kill Dai Huabin in the next few days.

Then Huo Yuhao swept his gaze around the classroom, stopping on Tang Yin.

Since that Xu Yang has the Divine Realm's attention, what about that Tang Yin? He's very similar to Xu Yang. Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes. But judging by their relationship, it seems the gods behind them aren't of one mind either.

Time passed quickly. After class, Huo Yuhao and his two companions left, and several others followed them.

As they passed Xu Yang, he finally recovered a little of his spirit. Watching Huo Yuhao's retreating figure, Xu Yang's heart filled with rage.

It's him. It has to be him, Huo Yuhao! They must have gone over to Huo Yuhao!

Xu Yang finally understood. No wonder that bug, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, didn't help me get the Ice Empress. It wasn't that he didn't like her. He was already planning to betray me back then!

And Electrolux, so you'd woken up long ago!

But what am I supposed to do now! I have nothing left! How am I supposed to compete with Huo Yuhao!

Ding-dong!

A voice rang out in Xu Yang's mind.
