" Yuhao! Yuhao... Yuhao, don't scare me, you... wake up..."
Zhou Yi sobbed helplessly, her hands trembling as she hovered over Huo Yuhao's burned back, the blood on her hands causing her pupils to tremble.
Huo Yuhao was still unconscious, and his breath was barely perceptible. It would probably be long before he was consumed by the fire.
Slap! Slap!
Zhou Yi slapped her own cheek hard, forcing herself to calm down. Even though her face was stained with blood, she showed no disgust.
Then, she stood up, her Soul Power surging forth, repelling the flames that were trying to engulf her once again.
Zhou Yi discovered that she had lost most of her Soul Power, and if she used it to resist the flames, she could probably only last for two minutes.
Although she didn't know what had happened, she carefully carried Huo Yuhao Huo Yuhao her back, using most of her Soul Power to protect him.
After straightening up, Zhou Yi could no longer see the road ahead, because most of her Soul Power was used to protect Huo Yuhao. The thick fog completely blocked her vision, and she could only grope her way forward step by step.
boom!
The fiery serpent suddenly lunged at Zhou Yi Zhou Yi, the thick smoke instantly blinding her, causing a burning sensation and immediate pain.
Zhou Yi tried to open her eyes despite the pain, but found she couldn't.
With no other option, she had to proceed even more cautiously.
The sensation underfoot was uneven, making it impossible to discern direction. The temperature in my calves was rising rapidly, and my Soul Power was being continuously depleted.
Zhou Yi recalled the location in her mind, then took another step forward. "Ah!" A hard object instantly pierced through the sole of Zhou Yi's foot.
After being scorched by the high temperature, the rare metal carried an unimaginable heat that directly burned through Zhou Yi's flesh, emitting hissing white smoke.
Zhou Yi's body went limp instantly, and she fell forward. Even so, she didn't protect herself immediately. Instead, she instinctively lifted Huo Yuhao's body and fell heavily to the ground herself.
"Ahhh... Ahh!..."
Zhou Yi's right cheek must have hit something, because the intense heat from it burned her so badly she cried out. She quickly turned her head away, and the burning sensation disappeared. Now, she only felt a burning pain on her right cheek.
Instead of touching her own cheek, Zhou Yi reached out to touch Huo Yuhao as if she were blind.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness, it's alright, Yuhao, you... you hold on, I will definitely get you out of here..."
Zhou Yi didn't have time to check Huo Yuhao's injuries. She reached out and hugged him. Her hands, which were no longer protected by Soul Power, were already covered in blood.
Even under the intense heat, the blood and flesh were burned and the bleeding stopped, but Zhou Yi didn't feel any of that. The only thing that kept her going was that she had to keep Huo Yuhao alive.
Huff... huff huff...
A gust of wind brushed against Zhou Yi's cheek, and she felt a surge of joy, sensing the direction from which the wind was blowing.
The next moment, Zhou Yi felt two powerful Soul Power surge out from outside, instantly reducing the surrounding temperature by more than half.
Zhou Yi immediately realized what was happening, hugged Huo Yuhao tightly, touched his cheek, and softly comforted him, " Yuhao, it's alright, it's alright, someone's coming to rescue us..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Yi faintly heard a dragon's roar.
Large splashes of water cascaded down, and the pungent smell of the extinguished fire suddenly filled her nostrils.
Zhou Yi shouted with all her might towards the front, "Save Yuhao first... save Yuhao first!..."
The cry was shrill and sorrowful, filled with pleading and resentment, as if it had drained all of Zhou Yi's strength.
"Someone's here, come quick..."
"Over here, over here..."
After hearing the other people's voices, Zhou Yi managed a weak smile, then touched Huo Yuhao's cheek before losing consciousness completely.
The water dragon, accompanied by a roar, slammed violently into the school building.
The intense flames were extinguished instantly, and the thick black smoke was dispersed and blown away, revealing the Soul Tool Department teaching building that had been scorched by the fire.
Zhang Lexuan frowned slightly and immediately saw Huo Yuhao and Zhou Yi holding him. She felt a little uncomfortable, but soon she began to think about Huo Yuhao's intentions.
Zhang Lexuan wondered to herself, "What is Lord Shadow's purpose in doing this? Or is he trying to tell us something through this incident?"
"The flames will be extinguished? Only 'Wrath' wields fire. This explosion looks extremely dangerous. Is Lord Shadow telling me that 'Wrath' is in trouble?"
Zhang Lexuan pondered the possibility, feeling it was highly likely. After all, Lord Shadow never fully shared his thoughts with them; he always preferred to shoulder burdens alone.
Because of their understanding of Huo Yuhao, they were generally able to discern the intentions behind Lord Shadow's actions.
Moreover, Zhang Lexuan had been with Huo Yuhao for a long time, and she could always analyze some useful information from Huo Yuhao's every move.
Zhang Lexuan decided to contact Ma Xiaotao immediately after the cause of the explosion was investigated, hoping that she was alright.
When Qian Duoduo saw that the fire had been extinguished, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
After entrusting Fan Yu and Mu Jin to the care of the inner court students, he immediately rushed inside, his destination being the warehouse where Soul Tool were stored.
In mid-air, Xian Lin'er's Soul Power slowly receded into her body, and her armor and spear disappeared.
Her figure landed slowly, directly inside the teaching building.
" Dean Xian, this is a difficult situation for us to help; it's far too serious..."
An inner court student immediately stepped forward, looking embarrassed, and stammered.
Xian Lin'er frowned, looked in the direction the student was looking, her pupils slightly contracted, and quickly walked past the inner courtyard student.
Their faces were covered in blood and grime, and water kept flowing down their bodies, but their faces were still barely discernible.
" Zhou Yi? What are you doing here?"
Xian Lin'er recognized Zhou Yi and asked her, but received no answer.
Xian Lin'er sighed helplessly and immediately checked on the two of them.
At this moment, Zhou Yi and Huo Yuhao were pressed tightly together, their flesh and blood stuck together due to the burning. If they moved carelessly, their skin would probably be torn off instantly.
What surprised Xian Lin'er even more was that Huo Yuhao's back was completely mangled and should have been beyond saving, but there was still a faint life force supporting him within his body.
Zhou Yi wasn't in much better shape; her body was covered in burns. Logically, a Soul Emperor shouldn't have been harmed by such a large fire, but she ended up like this.
Blood gushed from the right side of her face, her skin and flesh were ruptured from the burns, and there were many metal fragments embedded in her flesh in various parts of her body.
Because of the high temperature, it has become deeply embedded in the flesh.
At this moment, Zhou Yi was barely breathing, clearly on the verge of exhaustion.
Xian Lin'er dared not be careless and immediately channeled her Soul Power into Zhou Yi's body. However, this could only save Zhou Yi's life. If she stopped, she would probably die on the spot.
"Go to the medical area quickly and get someone here. Their life force is dropping rapidly. I can only stabilize them temporarily. Go now!" Xian Lin'er immediately ordered the students behind her.
The trainees dared not be careless and sped towards the medical area.
Just as the students left, Xian Lin'er suddenly frowned. She felt that a life force identical to that in the man in her arms had appeared in Zhou Yi's body.
For a moment, their lives hung in the balance.
