Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 124 Xuan Ziwen

"you!"

Seeing Huo Yuhao suddenly appear, Ju Zi was clearly quite frightened by this bizarre method.

Close.

This state is tantamount to a life-or-death crisis for both Soul Masters and Food-type characters who are powerless to even kill a chicken!
Facing Huo Yuhao, who was right in front of her, Ju Zi suddenly emitted an incredibly intense orange-red light, and hundreds of bright oranges appeared out of thin air under the effect of her soul skill.

Even more surprisingly, under her control, these oranges tangled into a tornado-like impact that blasted towards her, covering her retreat of several feet.

"many!"

Faced with the orange storm that was about to explode all over his face, even Huo Yuhao, with his strength, was somewhat overwhelmed. He could only pat his waist amidst the massive amount of fruit to summon a protective shield.

However, just as the numerous orange bullets were flying everywhere, ten wine-red lights also rapidly lit up the surface of the shield.

"Soul Sect fluctuations... Level 4 Soul Guidance Device!"

Sensing the faint but palpable sense of danger, Huo Yuhao's pupils constricted slightly: "It's a bomb!"

"Beep beep~ beep—"

The firelight flickered.

……

"Ok?"

Xuan Ziwen, who was rushing to work, paused, his eyes, which had been fixed on his watch, now filled with doubt as he looked up at the ceiling of the corridor: "The ventilation system isn't on either?"

For some reason, a cool breeze suddenly blew through the corridor, which should have been stuffy, and even made people feel a little chilly.

It's late summer now, the hottest time of the year, isn't it?

"Never mind... I still have a lot to do today."

With his schedule packed, Xuan Ziwen sighed softly, choosing to skip the matter, and swiped the door to the laboratory a few steps past the corner.

"--well?"

Huo Yuhao, who was dragging oranges to a chair, looked up stiffly, somewhat at a loss, at the suddenly appearing Xuan Ziwen.

The crime scene now contains not only the unconscious orange, but also the lingering chill of the indoors.

"I was careless."

Huo Yuhao's eyelids twitched.

The only thing to be thankful for now is that he had put away the bombs sealed by the ice crystals beforehand, so as to avoid revealing more flaws now.

'stranger?'

Xuan Ziwen blinked a beat late, a small part of his thoughts, which had been focused on the soul guidance experiment, turning to the matter at hand: "You are...?"

"Ah... I'm Huo Yuhao, an exchange student from Shrek Academy who's here for this exchange program!"

Huo Yuhao suddenly let go, letting Ju Zi slide from the seat to the floor.

"Exchange student? So it was you."

Upon hearing this word, Xuan Ziwen narrowed his eyes instantly, glancing at Huo Yuhao with a hint of aloofness and coldness: "The Hall Master mentioned you to me. A pure Soul Master who broke into the Soul Guidance Holy Land, only for Soul Rings and Soul Beasts."

"Now it seems... that Shrek's elites aren't all people who abuse violence?"

As he spoke, Xuan Ziwen glanced at the orange lying on the ground with a lingering look: "Just like you?"

"No, no... I accidentally startled my senior, which led her to attack me, and then... in my instinctive self-defense... um..."

Huo Yuhao offered a dry explanation, but eventually fell silent under Xuan Ziwen's strange gaze.

Scared?

What scared you?
What kind of intimidation would make Ju Zi take action? And what level of self-defense would it take to make her lose consciousness on the spot?

The more you try to explain, the worse it gets! "Ha."

Xuan Ziwen sneered, knocked on the switch on the wall, set up a simple iron bed near the corner, and then threw the oranges on it.

From then on, whether he was checking the instruments, flipping through the data book recorded by Ju Zi, or sitting in front of the experimental table to re-engrav the array, he never looked up at Huo Yuhao even once.

For someone like him who was wholeheartedly devoted to the cause of soul guidance, Huo Yuhao, who was just using the title to kill time, was the most despicable kind of person.

The thought that such a person could visit Mingde Hall with his classmates made Xuan Ziwen feel resentful.

Now, this incident of someone assaulting a female senior has also occurred...

'Whatever. Let it be. Three years will pass in the blink of an eye.'

Hopefully, he won't slow down my experiment.

Twisting the carving knife in his hand, Xuan Ziwen, in a somewhat reckless manner, began to carve the metal sheet in front of him.

"Teacher, shall I... leave now?"

After waiting for a long time without any further developments, Huo Yuhao took the initiative to speak, hoping to extricate himself from the awkward atmosphere as soon as possible.

"Okay~"

Xuan Ziwen, who was busy with his work, casually replied and pointed to the door: "Go there and get a number before you leave. You can just swipe it and go straight in."

"As for where you go or what you do on weekdays, I won't care, just don't cause me any trouble."

"in addition."

Xuan Ziwen looked up at Huo Yuhao and said, "If you suddenly have the idea of ​​getting involved with soul tools, go to the library to study on your own first, and come back to me when you can make your own soul tools."

"Finally, never resort to violence! Be careful of school rules and penalties."

I didn't make the first move at all...

Huo Yuhao sighed and nodded somewhat helplessly: "Understood, teacher."

After a pause, he asked hesitantly, "Can I ask for a leave of absence? I want to hunt for a spirit ring first, and then we can talk about other things."

"Soul Hunter..."

Xuan Ziwen paused, rested her head on her hand, and thought for a moment: "Perfect. I have two research projects that need practical data support, so let me take you on a field trip, and we can also try to find some rings while we're at it!"

According to his perception, Huo Yuhao's soul power level was only level 40, and the soul ring he needed would be at most five or six thousand years old. With Ju Zi, who was close to a level 5 soul master, leading the soul hunting, it would be more than enough.

"Um~ Actually, I can manage by myself."

Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched.

"turn down!"

Xuan Ziwen didn't spend half a second thinking: "Graduate students in the lab are prohibited from going on missions alone. Of course, you can also apply for leave from the dean of students; there are no restrictions there."

"…All right."

The thought of Lin Jiayi and Jing Hongchen gave Huo Yuhao a headache. If he really put his leave application on their desks, who knows what kind of trouble they might cause.

'It seems like the Sun Moon faction is even more troublesome than Shrek Academy.'

"Because you're an exchange student, you're lucky if you're not being monitored around the clock. It's normal for people to be wary of you when you first arrive."

Tianmeng scratched her belly: "Quickly ask about the departure time. If there's enough free time, we can adjust our condition. By the way... isn't that old man supposed to teach you some skills? You can learn them while you're at it."

……

"Time? Let's set it for a week from now."

Xuan Ziwen blew away the debris and examined the carved soul-guiding array patterns with some satisfaction.

"This period of time is just enough for you to get used to college life. If you don't want to come into contact with other people, you can come and check in for a full day. No outsiders usually come here."
