Chapter 348: Is This Fantasy Hour?
Even though Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy had won the championship in the previous tournament, there was still a lingering regret. However, with Shrek Academy officially forfeiting their match against Sun Moon Academy, that regret was now completely erased.
At that moment, Di Qiu'er walked over.
Unlike the others, who were all cheering joyfully, she had a serious expression on her face. Without warning, she grabbed Huo Yuhao's left wrist.
Huo Yuhao was stunned.
What is she doing?
Confused, he asked, "Qiu'er, what are you doing?"
Di Qiu'er looked directly at him and explained, "Senior Yuhao, I'm checking your physical condition.
You just fought Jiang Nannan and came into contact with a Tang Sect hidden weapon. I need to make sure you're not injured.
You're the pillar of our team. If you're hurt, you need treatment immediately.
You wouldn't want to miss the upcoming matches because of an injury, would you?"
Checking my physical condition?
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but think everyone else was busy celebrating his victory, but Qiu'er's focus was entirely different.
He chuckled and replied, "Qiu'er, I'm a spiritual type soul master with incredibly strong mental power.
No one understands my own body better than I do.
I didn't take a single hit during my battle with Jiang Nannan. How could I possibly be injured?"
As he spoke, he attempted to withdraw his hand, but Di Qiu'er tightened her grip and held on even more firmly.
Her sharp gaze locked onto him as she snapped, "Don't move!"
Huo Yuhao froze.
Her warm, delicate hands tightly grasped his left hand.
At that moment, Di Qiu'er focused all her energy into channeling her soul power into Huo Yuhao's body.
The Haoxiu Power between them instantly activated, causing their soul forces to intertwine.
A golden glow flashed within her eyes, growing even more intense.
Moments later, Di Qiu'er withdrew her hand and said in a calm tone, "You're right, there's no injury.
Senior Yuhao, you should be fine to continue competing in the next few days."
"Of course." Huo Yuhao nodded.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Xiao Hongchen gritting his teeth.
"Huh? Xiao Hongchen, why do you look so upset?"
Xiao Hongchen forced a stiff smile and replied, "It's nothing."
Internally, however, he was seething.
Di Qiu'er is way too quick to take advantage of opportunities!
Meanwhile, his own sister, Meng Hongchen, had always been nice to Huo Yuhao, yet she never did anything like this!
Today, Di Qiu'er used a medical excuse to hold hands who knows what she'll do tomorrow?!
At that moment, a figure descended from the sky.
Bei Bei, using his flying soul tool, arrived above the Sun Moon Academy team's waiting area.
He landed gracefully and turned to Huo Yuhao, his expression helpless.
"Yuhao, could you come with me for a moment?"
"Dean Cai from Shrek Academy's Martial Soul Department wants to speak with you."
Bei Bei had no desire to be here.
He knew Huo Yuhao would never betray Sun Moon Academy to join Shrek Academy.
Cai Mei'er's plan was doomed from the start.
But since this was an order from a Sea God's Pavilion Elder, he couldn't refuse.
Even if he thought this was pointless, he still had to extend the invitation.
Huo Yuhao blinked in surprise.
Cai Mei'er wants to talk to me?
Why?
Could she be planning to make a move on me?
No, that doesn't make sense.
Cai Mei'er isn't that stupid this is Mingdu, not Shrek City.
If she tried anything here, how would she protect her students afterward?
Curious, he asked, "Brother Bei, what does Dean Cai want to talk about?"
Bei Bei's expression turned awkward.
There was no way he could say, "Dean Cai wants to recruit you into Shrek Academy."
If he said that out loud, the Sun Moon team would definitely explode in anger.
So he vaguely replied, "Yuhao, you'll find out when you get there.
I swear on Shrek Academy's honor there's no danger."
Hearing this, Xiao Hongchen's expression darkened.
He glared at Bei Bei and snapped:
"Bei Bei, do you really think swearing on Shrek Academy's honor means anything?
Shrek Academy claimed to be neutral, yet Xuan Zi did a bunch of shady things!
Is that what you call neutrality?
After what Xuan Zi did to our exchange students, why should we trust anything you people say?**"
Bei Bei's face stiffened.
He had no argument against Xiao Hongchen's words.
After all, everything he said was true.
At that moment, Cai Mei'er's voice echoed in Bei Bei's mind.
"Forget it, Bei Bei.
You don't need to persuade them anymore. I'll come speak to Huo Yuhao personally."
Moments later, Cai Mei'er herself flew over to the Sun Moon Academy waiting area.
She had been monitoring the conversation from afar.
When Xiao Hongchen started interfering, she realized her private invitation had failed.
Now, her only option was to speak directly.
Cai Mei'er softened her expression, making herself appear kind and welcoming.
She got straight to the point.
"Huo Yuhao, hello.
I am Cai Mei'er, Vice Dean of Shrek Academy's Martial Soul Department.
I asked Bei Bei to speak to you because I want to formally invite you to join Shrek Academy."
"As everyone knows, Shrek Academy has unmatched experience in training soul masters with Ultimate Martial Souls.
Throughout history, all Ultimate Soul Masters have automatically been given Shrek student status!
You have an Ultimate Ice martial soul.
That means you were born to be a Shrek Academy student!
I can guarantee you if you join us,
we will fully support your growth into a Super Douluo!
You may even reach the rank of an Ultimate Douluo!
And the gates of the Sea God's Pavilion will be open to you!"
…???
Huo Yuhao was speechless.
He stared at Cai Mei'er in disbelief.
Shrek Academy must really overestimate their own influence.
"Experience in training Ultimate Soul Masters"?
What does that even matter?
And joining the Sea God's Pavilion?
That means nothing to me.
Did she seriously think that offering these conditions would make me betray Sun Moon Academy?
Is this…
