Douluo: When Tang Wulin Met Little Huo Niang

Chapter 23 The calm before the storm

"Ouch... my head hurts..."

On the hospital bed in the infirmary of Shrek's outer hospital, Huo Yutong uttered a whimper and opened his eyes with some difficulty.

Seeing her wake up, a surprised voice sounded in her ears.

"Yutong, are you awake? How do you feel now?"

Turning her head slightly, she saw Tang Wulin looking at her worriedly.

She felt the condition of her body and replied:

"I'm fine, I just have a headache and I don't have much strength... Did I faint?"

“Yeah.” After confirming that Huo Yutong was fine, Tang Wulin was visibly relieved. “The teacher in the infirmary said that you were overdrawn in both your mental and spiritual power. He also said that judging from your physical condition, you probably haven’t relaxed much in this period of time and have been pushing yourself very hard.”

Having said that, he was obviously a little dissatisfied.

"Yutong, you have to take care of your body. You can't keep practicing recklessly, otherwise people around you will worry."

“…It’s not bad.”

Huo Yutong looked away guiltily.

For some reason, when Xiao Xiao said something similar, she could easily refute it, but when facing Tang Wulin, she had no confidence to talk back.

She even felt a little happy when she heard that he cared about her.

This strange feeling made her feel a little helpless.

Tang Wulin sighed.

"Forget it. You fainted in class because I didn't pay enough attention to your condition. If I had noticed something was wrong with you in time, things wouldn't have turned out like this."

Having said that, he suddenly thought of a question.

He had been wanting to ask this question throughout the class, but because there were people around him, he didn't dare to ask it out loud.

They are in the infirmary now, and the teacher here just went out, so it is a good time for him to ask now.

"Yutong, isn't your soul skill sharing spiritual detection? Why can you stun the opponent from a long distance?"

He didn't figure out this problem throughout the whole class.

Zhou Sichen and Dai Huabin were both very powerful opponents. With Tang Wulin's current strength, he might not be able to defeat them in a one-on-one fight.

The reason why these two battles were fought so easily was that Huo Yutong’s mysterious attack ability was crucial.

That kind of attack power seemed to be only possessed by spirit skills, but Tang Wulin knew that Huo Yutong's spirit skills obviously did not have such offensive power.

So how did she do it?
Huo Yutong hesitated for a moment and explained:
"My Spirit Eye martial soul is of spiritual attribute. Because it has a good compatibility with the Tang Sect's Purple Demon Eye, I developed a skill similar to a spiritual attack. It is very effective when used to ambush people, but it consumes a lot of energy."

“So that’s how it is.” Tang Wulin had no doubt about her words. He was very surprised. “I didn’t expect that the Purple Demon Pupil had such a hidden ability. It’s a pity that I’m not a spiritualist. I guess I can’t use it like you.”

"..."

Huo Yutong did not respond. Looking at Tang Wulin's trusting eyes, she only felt her heart filled with guilt.

Tang Wulin trusted her so much, but she lied to him, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

If she only had four first-level soul skills, she would have confessed to Tang Wulin long ago.

The problem now is that Tianmeng, who provided her with the soul skill, is intelligent and has saved her life. She cannot tell anyone about Tianmeng's ice silkworm no matter what.

This feeling of being caught in the middle made her uncomfortable.

She didn't notice that Tang Wulin had a worried look on his face when he saw her like this.

In his opinion, the reason why Huo Yutong looked so painful was definitely because the effects of exhaustion of mental energy were still residual.

The teacher in the infirmary just told him that it would be best to let Huo Yutong relax for two days.

But he knew Huo Yutong's temper, and she would most likely not allow herself to be lazy.

what can we do about it……

At this moment, as if a flash of inspiration came to Tang Wulin, he suddenly remembered what Wang Dong said to him in the dormitory that morning. "Wulin, Shrek City holds various activities every year when recruiting new students, commonly known as the opening ceremony. Do you want to go with me this weekend?"

At that time, Tang Wulin refused on the grounds that he wanted to make money by forging, but now thinking about it, isn't this a good opportunity?
He could take this opportunity to bring Huo Yutong out of the dormitory to relax, and he could also keep a close eye on her to prevent her from forcing herself.

I almost fell asleep and someone gave me a pillow.

Tang Wulin said to Huo Yutong excitedly:

"Yutong, how about we go to Shrek City to play together tomorrow weekend?"

"..."

Hearing his words, Huo Yutong blinked in surprise.

"……what?"

…………

In a corner of Shrek Academy, Dai Huabin leaned against the wall with a gloomy face.

After a while, several men in black came up to him, bowed their heads, and said respectfully:

"Master, what are your orders?"

Dai Huabin said coldly:

"I want you to help me get rid of someone."

Tang Wulin had embarrassed him time and again in front of the whole class, and even snatched away the position of class monitor that should have belonged to him. He could no longer tolerate him.

The tough education he received since childhood taught him that if he wants to get something, he must do his best to get it.

Therefore, in his eyes, Tang Wulin was almost the same as a dead person.

The men in black looked at each other, and finally the leader asked tentatively:

"Master, are the people you want us to eliminate students from Shrek?"

"Yes."

The leading man in black suddenly had a bitter face.

"Master, please think twice. We cannot touch Shrek's students casually, even if they are from the Duke's Mansion."

"You mean the inner courtyard students, right?" Dai Huabin was unmoved. "Don't be afraid. The person I want you to kill is not only not an inner courtyard student, but even a first-year student. Even if you touch him, the academy won't say anything."

"This……"

The man in black wanted to say something, but Dai Huabin grabbed him by the collar.

There was a fierce light in his eyes, and he said viciously:

"That's enough. You are just my dogs after all. Recognize your identities and don't forget the kindness the Duke's Mansion has shown you!"

After saying that, he exerted force with his hands and threw the leading man in black to the ground.

The other men in black all lowered their heads and hid their emotions.

The leading man in black fell to the ground, his eyes turned fierce for a moment, then he hid deeply, stood up and said:

"I understand. I will make a plan right away."

"Humph."

In response to his words, Dai Huabin just snorted to indicate that he heard it.

Seeing this, the men in black bowed deeply to him, then turned and left.

A hint of cruelty flashed in the eyes of the black-clad man who was leading the group.

He had already reminded this ignorant second young master, and since he didn't listen, the direction of events would no longer be something this kid could control.

He has suffered a lot during this period of time. Since he is about to die, he doesn't mind taking this second-generation rich man with him.
