Bullying, humiliation, pain—countless negative emotions swirled in Huo Yuhao's heart. These negative feelings made his face look somewhat distorted, and his eyes reflected a predatory, soul-devouring light.
Such an expression and gaze gave Guan Xin a start.
But that was immediately followed by a wave of shame and anger.
I'm a level twenty-nine Spirit Grandmaster, a third-year student of the Outer Court, and I was actually scared by you, a little first-year Spirit Master who's barely past level ten?
Guan Xin's large hands slammed directly into Huo Yuhao's body, the intense pain causing Huo Yuhao's face to twitch uncontrollably.
But he didn't cry out in pain, let alone beg for mercy. He just stared deathly at Guan Xin and Jiang Cou, as if he wanted to engrave their faces permanently into his mind.
In the next instant, a sigh suddenly echoed in Huo Yuhao's heart.
"Even though I've always told you to endure, sometimes, there's no more need to endure!"
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was actually quite helpless. If possible, it really didn't want to take action—Shrek Academy was full of experts, and acting rashly could easily alert some of the big shots. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, it had always advised Huo Yuhao to endure as much as he could.
As long as Huo Yuhao could smoothly awaken his Ice-type second spirit, Little Yu Hao would be able to deal with everyone who had bullied him by himself.
But this time was different.
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm could clearly feel that something had gone wrong with Huo Yuhao's state of mind. If left unchecked, it could lead to irreversible consequences.
As expected, I still have to step in!
Just as Guan Xin's next palm was about to fall, the color of Huo Yuhao's eyes suddenly changed.
The deep blue eyes that flickered with a faint golden light turned white in an instant—a white like ten-thousand-year-old profound ice.
An aura of ultimate cold instantly diffused from Huo Yuhao's body.
As his Spirit Eyes stirred, a spirit ring also rose behind Huo Yuhao. However, the color of this ring changed from the white it had always shown to an incredibly brilliant gold.
The blinding golden light shone as if a morning sun was rising from beneath his feet.
Guan Xin and Jiang Cou, standing opposite Huo Yuhao, were stunned, while Ao Yao, watching from above, subconsciously frowned.
Did that big worm, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, finally lose its patience and come out to fight as a substitute?
In the original story, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm seemed to have been used to deal with a rampaging Ma Xiaotao. At that time, Ma Xiaotao had the cultivation of a six-ring Spirit Emperor, yet she was knocked into the Sea God Lake by one such blow from the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
Against these two two-ring Spirit Grandmasters... the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm wouldn't end up killing them, would it?
Beside Ao Yao, Ning Tian and Wu Feng also quickly reacted after a brief moment of shock. The abnormality in Huo Yuhao's body was clearly closely related to that Million-Year Spirit Beast inside him.
Tsk...
Ao Yao couldn't help but click his tongue. If the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm really caused a fatality this time, things would get interesting.
Current Huo Yuhao didn't have the status of a Core Disciple like he did when he possessed an Ultimate Spirit. So if he really caused a death, there was a high probability he would be expelled immediately, or even face an even worse fate.
Ultimately, it was because he lacked Wang Donger by his side.
If Wang Donger had been guarding Huo Yuhao's side, for one thing, the previous Dai Huabin would never have dared to act against him. This time, no one would have come looking for trouble with Huo Yuhao either.
So...
As an important pawn of Tang San, why did Wang Donger jump off the path she was supposed to follow?
Ao Yao had suspected last time that Wang Donger could see his diary, but he had just been too lazy to think about it in detail.
Now that he thought about it carefully, everything about Wang Donger was strange.
Wang Donger really can see my diary, right?
Ao Yao's gaze locked onto that cross-dressing figure in the crowd of onlookers.
Ning Tian can see his diary... Wang Donger can also see the diary... so... who else can see his diary?
Among those who can read his diary, do they know about each other, or... are they unaware of one another?
Setting the latter question aside for now, let's consider the first one.
Ning Tian is certain; the color of her spirit rings has exposed her completely. Wang Donger is also a near-certainty. After all, if she couldn't see the diary book, he really couldn't imagine why Wang Donger's changes would be so drastic.
Who else could there be besides the two of them?
Ma Xiaotao? Ju Zi? Or maybe... Jiang Nannan?
It's impossible for everyone to be able to see my diary, right?
Thinking about so many people being able to see my diary is actually quite embarrassing.
[diary instance holder Wang Donger is the second to be discovered by the diary Host Ao Yao as being able to read the diary. Penalty mechanism triggered. Given that Wang Donger did not actively disclose the existence of the diary instance, the penalty is reduced...]
[Wang Donger receives penalty: Rewards retracted.]
[Retracting part of the rewards previously obtained by Wang Donger. 'Clouding Sea God Tang San's Perception (Half Year)' has been invalidated.]
The System's cold notification suddenly rang out. Upon hearing it, Wang Donger's face turned pale instantly, and her body swayed uncontrollably.
She knew she had already aroused Ao Yao's suspicion, so she had done her best to avoid excessive contact with him. Even though they shared the same roof, Wang Donger had always restrained herself, wanting to lower her presence and wait for the suspicion to blow over before approaching Ao Yao again.
In the end, she was still discovered!
Although the penalty for her 'dropping her mask' wasn't as severe as Ning Tian's—it wasn't a catastrophic penalty like Spirit regression—the penalty of retracting rewards was far harder for her to accept than Spirit regression!
This meant that the protective shield on her... had vanished!
It was precisely because she had the reward of Clouding Sea God Tang San's Perception (Half Year) that she dared to boldly change her dormitory to be with Ao Yao and distance herself from Huo Yuhao.
Now, that reward of clouding Sea God Tang San's perception had been invalidated!
This meant she was completely exposed to Tang San's view. As long as Tang San cast his perception down, he would immediately discover her abnormality!
When that happened, what would the consequences be?
Wang Donger didn't dare to imagine.
She only knew that she had to contact Ao Yao as quickly as possible and regain a reward that could cloud Sea God Tang San's perception!
It had to be fast!
Wang Donger's hands and feet went cold. She was completely distraught, no longer even caring about what was happening to Huo Yuhao.
Wang Donger took several deep breaths, forcing herself to calm down.
Today's diary entry has already ended. Starting from tomorrow... no, starting from tonight, she would frantically pursue contact with Ao Yao and strive to make her name appear in the diary book!
Even if she had to throw herself at him, she must obtain the reward to cloud Sea God Tang San's perception again!
