" Huo Yuhao, have you thought this through? If you only feel guilty towards me, act on impulse, and then regret it and abandon me, my sect still has Titled Douluo and quite a few Soul Douluo. They will definitely kill you," Ning Tian said fiercely.
"Fine. I swear on my Martial Soul that if I ever regret my actions towards Ning Tian, or abandon you after starting something, may my Martial Soul be shattered and I die a horrible death," Huo Yuhao vowed.
"Also, Huo Yuhao, even if you swear an oath now, it won't work. You have to show me your talent. Since Dean Qian Chen said you will transform in a year, I believe Dean Qian. I'll give you a year. If you are still mediocre and have made no achievements after a year, don't blame me for kicking you out," Ning Tian said again.
"Yes." Huo Yuhao was absolutely confident that he would be able to reach level 20 in a year. He was going to use the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to give himself a powerful Second Martial Soul.
Huo Yuhao walked up to Ning Tian, knelt down in front of the sofa where she was lying, and said earnestly, " Ning Tian, I am Mental Attribute Soul Master. I will not only become stronger myself, but I will also find a way to restore your health and help you stand up steadily again."
Ning Tian was a carefully cultivated individual of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect; her emotional intelligence, intellectual abilities, and skills in managing people were already highly refined. She immediately suppressed her displeasure at being injured by Huo Yuhao earlier that day, reached out a hand, gently stroked Huo Yuhao's face, and softly said, " Yuhao, I believe in you."
Huo Yuhao's heart quickly succumbed to Ning Tian's superb skills in controlling people. At this moment, Huo Yuhao's goal became to cultivate and become stronger, to take revenge on the White Tiger Duke's Mansion as soon as possible, and to find a way to repair Ning Tian's Sea of Consciousness as soon as possible.
Wang Dong, who should have strongly opposed Huo Yuhao and Ning Tian being together, was now injured and had returned to his room to recuperate, completely unaware of what had happened.
Qian Chen was incredibly relieved at that moment. Just after returning to his residence, he used Wang Dong's injury as an excuse to have Xiao Xiao take her upstairs to rest. If Wang Dong had been there, she would definitely have stopped Huo Yuhao from taking care of Ning Tian for the rest of his life.
Qian Chen knew that the longer this matter was kept from Wang Dong, the better. He found an opportunity to instruct Huo Yuhao, " Yuhao, Wang Dong is seriously injured. Don't disturb her these days, and don't tell her about you and Ning Tian. Let her feel that it's her fault for dragging you down. Let her recover quietly, okay?"
Huo Yuhao nodded hurriedly and said, "Teacher, don't worry. I won't bother Wang Dong until she's fully recovered, and I certainly won't mention Ning Tian in front of her, lest she worry."
Then, Qian Chen repeated the same instructions to Zhang Lexuan and Xiao Xiao.
After Ning Tian and Wu Feng were sent away from Sea God Island, Huo Yuhao watched Ning Tian leave with great reluctance. Although Huo Yuhao was a bit of a womanizer, he was quite good to the women he truly loved.
A flash of inspiration struck Huo Yuhao, and a plan to make it easier for Ning Tian to get around took shape. Seeing that there was still some time, Huo Yuhao immediately took his level-two Flying Soul Tool and flew to the carpenter's shop in Shrek City. He was going to have a wheelchair made overnight for Ning Tian to make it easier for him to get around.
Wu Feng helped Ning Tian back to his dormitory room and carefully placed Ning Tian on the bed. Only then did she hold Ning Tian's hand, her heart aching as tears streamed down her face.
" Sister Feng, don't cry. What's done is done, and there's no going back," Ning Tian comforted her.
"Young Master has suffered such serious injuries, and now you have to stay with the person who hurt you. It breaks my heart," Wu Feng said, crying.
"Do you think I don't want to kill Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong? I do, I really do, but if I kill them now, my injuries won't heal, and I'll directly offend Qian Chen and Shrek Academy. The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is already declining and can't withstand such turmoil," Ning Tian said helplessly.
Wu Feng wanted to say something more, but Ning Tian interrupted her directly, "Alright, I've thought it over carefully. If Huo Yuhao can truly transform into a peerless genius within a year, that would be the best outcome. But Sister Feng, quickly write home and ask them to prepare medicinal herbs that can help cultivate and repair Divine Power Divine Power send them to me. I must save myself too."
"Yes, young master," Wu Feng replied.
The next morning, Huo Yuhao pushed the wheelchair that had been made for Ning Tian overnight to the dormitory building. He had only seen the dormitory supervisor a few times before, and then he hadn't seen him since. Now, the dormitory was managed by a capable dormitory supervisor.
Huo Yuhao waited downstairs for a short while before Wu Feng helped Ning Tian down. Huo Yuhao quickly stepped forward to support Ning Tian. Ning Tian gave him a sweet smile and said, "Thank you, Yuhao."
Looking at Ning Tian's stunningly beautiful face, Huo Yuhao felt immensely gratified and hurriedly introduced the wheelchair he had built overnight to Ning Tian.
Ning Tian glanced at it. Although the wheelchair was extremely rough and incomparable to the daily necessities she used in the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, she still smiled and thanked Huo Yuhao.
In the following days, Qian Chen personally took over the responsibility of caring for Wang Dong. Qian Chen never let Wang Dong come downstairs to eat, and always personally delivered the meals to Wang Dong's bedside.
Fearing that Wang Dong might be bored and that Xiao Xiao and the Xiao Xiao might let slip the secret while they were chatting, Qian Chen personally spent a long time chatting with Wang Dong every day, either telling Wang Dong interesting stories from the academy or introducing her to new knowledge from her classes.
Qian Chen's actions puzzled Zhang Lexuan; she hadn't expected him to be so kind to his student. If Wang Dong Qian Chen a girl, she might have almost suspected Qian Chen of having ulterior motives. However, Qian Chen did indeed have ulterior motives: he wanted Wang Dong to find out about Huo Yuhao and Ning Tian as late as possible, so that Huo Yuhao's feelings for Ning Tian would take deeper root.
Wang Dong deeply remembered Qian Chen's care for her. Under Tang San 'Consciousness Control, she could only fall in love with Huo Yuhao, which led her to unknowingly place Qian Chen in a fatherly position, irreplaceable.
With the conclusion of the Freshman Tournament, approximately four hundred first-year students remained, who were divided into four classes. After discussion, Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan made slight adjustments: the offensive and control types formed Class 1, the defensive and Agility Attack System formed Class 2, the support and food types formed Class 3, and the other special Martial Soul formed Class 4.
The top four teams in the Freshman Tournament finals were given special permission to all enter Class 1. Bing Ling was appointed as the class teacher of Class 1. Wang Dong and Dai Huabin were absent from class for the first few days after the class reassignment due to injuries.
No longer a homeroom teacher, Qian Chen only handles the work of the vice dean of the Martial Soul Department every day. These tasks are incredibly fast for Qian Chen. Of Qian Chen's three Sea of Consciousness, one is left to cultivate Soul Power, while the other two handle official business. With two Sea of Consciousness working on the same task at the same time, he easily achieves a result greater than the sum of its parts. The dean's official business that usually takes half a day to complete is perfectly handled by Qian Chen in just over an hour.
Qian Chen smiled and said to Zhang Lexuan, " Lexuan, I've taken care of my business. Do you need my help with yours?"
Zhang Lexuan shook her head and said, " Qian Chen, how did you handle this so quickly? Did you approve it without proper review? I'll be angry if you do that."
"How could that be?" Qian Chen placed today's files in front of Zhang Lexuan and said with a smile, "Please review them, Dean Lexuan."
Zhang Lexuan pushed the file aside and said, " Qian Chen, I believe you won't lie to me. But why are you in such a hurry to finish your work? Are you going to cultivate, or has the Inspection Corps received information about a high-level Evil Soul Master and you're going to eliminate him?"
