The re-exchange of the two batches of exchange students between Shrek and Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy did not cause a major uproar.
Presumably because Jing Hongchen's whereabouts were unknown and the Sun Moon Empire didn't have time to pay attention to such trivial matters, the exchange students' return went smoothly.
" Little Brother Huo, we're finally back."
He Caitou rubbed his bald head, pointed to the familiar and magnificent Shrek City gate in the distance, and grinned.
Huo Yuhao's eyes held a faint light. The patrolling taxi soldiers on the city gate in the distance were clearly visible, and a strange sense of familiarity began to slowly linger in his heart.
Looking up at the azure sky above, with a cool breeze constantly brushing against my face, the sense of unfamiliarity intensified.
Huo Yuhao knew that nothing had changed; this was a kind of nostalgia for a place after being away for too long.
Or perhaps there's someone he hasn't seen in a long time there.
However, there's no need to think about anything anymore; Shrek is right in front of us, so just boldly move forward.
Several streaks of light flashed through the air, and the patrolling soldiers saw Xian Lin'er, the leader of the team, and immediately recognized her without stopping them.
As the flames of the soul-guided flying vehicle behind him slowly died down, Huo Yuhao landed gently on the ground.
After putting away her Flying Soul Tool, Xian Lin'er smiled and said to everyone, "Fellow students, you've all worked hard during these two years of exchange and rest. Now we're going home. I'll give you all half a day off today. As for what you've gained at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, I'll personally deliver it back to the academy."
Huo Yuhao took off a Soul Tool Ring from his hand and handed it forward, quickly passing it to Xian Lin'er.
To prevent any accidents, Xian Lin'er let these things escape on their own on the way back.
If they really encounter an enemy, Xian Lin'er can hold them off, allowing everyone to scatter and escape, increasing the survival rate while also bringing back more Soul Guidance Core secrets.
However, the Sun Moon Empire really didn't have the energy to pay attention to Shrek Academy's movements.
Jing Hongchen's disappearance essentially severed the connection between the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and Xu Tianran.
In addition, although Xu Tianran has ascended the throne, those princes are still eager to make a move, and he has not yet fully controlled the most powerful soul guide legions. At this moment, he is already overwhelmed with problems.
Huo Yuhao walked down the street, while He Caitou, eager to return to continue his soul guidance research, went straight back to the academy.
A sophisticated Soul Tool near the ear was constantly emitting a faint light.
"Lord Shadow... can you hear me?"
The clear sound of 'Si' came into my ears.
Huo Yuhao lowered his voice and replied, "Yes, I can hear you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a hissing sound suddenly came from the other end of the headset, followed by a piercing shrill sound!
Huo Yuhao frowned as he removed the tightly sealed Soul Tool from his ear. This was a remote communication Soul Tool recently developed by 'Si', and they were currently conducting an experiment on Huo Yuhao.
I boarded the Soul Guidance Train and found a seat.
Once the piercing sound subsided, Huo Yuhao put the phone back to his ear, and 'Si's' voice began to come intermittently, " Shadow... Master, look... this... should... be debugged..."
Beep beep beep...
Huo Yuhao removed it, and sparks began to flash continuously on the earpiece. Under the gaze of his Spirit Eyes, the core Soul Guidance Array within began to collapse uncontrollably one by one.
With a flick of his Soul Power, he immediately enveloped it.
The terrifying energy swept out instantly, but fortunately, Huo Yuhao's Soul Power protected it, preventing any disturbance.
A moment later, Huo Yuhao withdrew his Soul Power, and the earpiece that had been in his palm had completely disappeared.
The experiment failed.
"We're still a bit short. Let's try it again next time. Let's head back to the academy now."
Huo Yuhao looked up at the window, and the familiar Shrek Academy gate was right in front of him.
As I walked towards the Shrek Academy, my thoughts drifted back to when I first enrolled. The vast expanse of that grizzly green was so striking back then, but things are different now.
As he stepped through the gate, sunlight shone on Huo Yuhao's hair, making his face appear even more defined.
A cacophony of cheerful sounds filled the air, and before my eyes stretched a sea of youthful faces and black uniforms—the lower-year students of Shrek Outer Court's outer court.
Huo Yuhao strode towards the Sea God Lake.
Along the way, we passed many students.
They are all enjoying the beauty of the present moment in their own way.
Someone was sitting cross-legged by the Sea God Lake, cultivating their Soul Power with their eyes closed.
Someone lay quietly on the grass nearby, feeling the gentle breeze and the warm sunlight; sleeping there was simply a pleasure.
There were also young men and women who were in love with each other, their sweet whispers and the occasional blushes on the girls' faces a beautiful sight.
"Is this what human life is like? It's actually quite wonderful."
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm finally finished her work, and with dark circles under her eyes, she looked outside through Huo Yuhao's gaze.
Electrolux casually conjured a recliner, lay down beside it, and began his retirement life. "Big bug, this is what it means to enjoy life. Little Yuhao said he'd definitely let you enjoy it sometime."
Electrolux chuckled and reached for the bookshelf in his Sea of Consciousness. A comic book appeared in his hand, and he happily flipped through it.
"Where did Little Yuhao learn all this? It's really interesting."
Seeing Electrolux's leisurely appearance, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was furious. She wanted to complain but was too weak to do anything about it. In the end, she rolled her eyes and fell asleep.
Huo Yuhao did not communicate with the two beings within the Sea of Consciousness.
He has already mastered all of Electrolux's magic; Tian Meng's only use now is to organize his information.
He already had too much knowledge in his mind. Although he could scan all of it into his mind, he didn't have that much time to digest it.
Therefore, Tian Meng is essentially its own filter, and it works quite well.
Huo Yuhao cleared his mind and, while reviewing the vast amount of knowledge in his mind, headed towards the inner courtyard.
Gradually, Huo Yuhao arrived at the port leading to the inner courtyard.
Huo Yuhao quickly snapped back to reality, and not far from him, a beautiful figure was quietly waiting.
Zhou Yi wore a white dress, her long, smooth hair tied in a high ponytail that swayed in the wind. Her youthful face was just a mask in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and beneath that mask was a hideous scar on her right cheek.
Huo Yuhao walked up to Zhou Yi with a smile and said cheerfully, " Sister Little Zhou, I'm back!"
A happy smile curved Zhou Yi's lips, and tears welled up in her eyes. She reached out and wiped away her joyful tears.
"It's good that you're back!"
Zhou Yi opened her arms and hugged Huo Yuhao, whom she hadn't seen in a long time. The firm touch was definitely not an illusion.
" Sister Little Zhou, it's windy by the lake, let's get on the boat."
"Um..."
A blush crept onto Zhou Yi's face, and she responded timidly.
Huo Yuhao reached out and embraced Zhou Yi, feeling the softness in his arms as they boarded the boat.
Before long, the small boat on Sea God Lake began to rock and sway, creating ripples and splashing water everywhere.
