Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 139 Dropping out of school will cost you half your life

dong dong dong-

Dai Huabin had just returned from Zhang Lexuan's office and hadn't even warmed his seat when he heard a sound coming from the classroom door.

Looking up, I saw two middle-aged teachers, around forty years old, standing at the door. As their gaze swept over the crowd, their voices, devoid of any discernible emotion, slowly echoed from inside the classroom.

"We are teachers from the Academic Affairs Office. May we ask which one of you is Dai Huabin?"

Upon hearing that the other party was actually looking for him, Dai Huabin was stunned. Although he didn't know what had happened, he had a strange sense of unease.

Unfortunately, the bet on the freshman assessment two days ago has once again boosted his reputation in the class, to the point that everyone in the class knows him. Upon hearing his name, all the students in the class turn around and turn their eyes to him.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Dai Huabin's expression changed several times, but in the end he still gritted his teeth and stood up.

"I am Dai Huabin. What can I do for you?"

The two teachers had already noticed him by following the gazes of the other students. Now that he had stood up, they looked him up and down with curiosity before one of the teachers spoke up loudly.

"Dai Huabin, on behalf of the academy, I hereby formally inform you that, due to your suspected use of external forces to threaten the lives of other students, you are hereby stripped of your status as a core disciple of the academy and expelled from the program."

After speaking, the teacher paused for a moment, looked at Dai Huabin's blank expression, and continued to add.

"Please come with us now to complete the withdrawal procedures."

The calm voice reached Dai Huabin's ears like a bolt from the blue. He swayed and instinctively tried to defend himself.

"No, it wasn't me!"

If it were Dai Yueheng, she would probably still deny it to the death, but Dai Huabin is ultimately just a child whose mind is not yet mature. Now that he has been named as the murderer, he immediately panicked.

Most importantly, he didn't do this in the first place!

It was clearly Dai Yueheng who did it, so why are these two teachers blaming him?

Could it be that my older brother wants me to be his scapegoat after he's been exposed?

The moment the thought crossed his mind, Dai Huabin blurted out his name, revealing his good older brother.

"It was my brother who did it. I... I just provided him with some information!"

Upon hearing this, not only the two teachers, but even the students present displayed extremely interesting expressions.

So you actually participated?

Under that strange gaze, only Gu Yuena couldn't help but frown when she heard the words "threat to the lives of other students".

The teachers in the Academic Affairs Office all came to Dai Huabin; Zhang Lexuan couldn't possibly be unaware of this.

But if Zhang Lexuan really knew all along, why didn't she say it when they, the core disciples, were in the office?

The powerful mental force caused Gu Yuena to repeatedly replay the scene from the office in her mind.

After confirming that Zhang Lexuan had not shown any particular attitude towards Dai Huabin throughout the entire process, her face darkened visibly.

At this point, the answer is obvious: the news only came out after they left Zhang Lexuan's office.

As for who was threatened with their life?

Thinking of the relationship between Dai Huabin and Huo Yuhao, and considering that Huo Yuhao had just been left alone in the office by Zhang Lexuan, Gu Yuena's deep purple eyes flickered, and she gave Dai Huabin a deep look.

It was as if the surrounding air had been sucked out instantly. Dai Huabin, who had been standing there dumbfounded, suddenly felt an indescribable sense of suffocation welling up in his heart.

Along with the air, the scene before him also vanished. The boundless, deep darkness, like ink, engulfed everything around him, as if he had been thrown into an empty world.

What happened?

A deathly silence that spread from his heart chilled Dai Huabin to the bone. His expression was terrified. He wanted to shout for help, but it was as if his vocal cords had been ripped off. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make a sound.

In a daze, the scene before him suddenly changed. Looking at the beautiful figure that came into view, Dai Huabin couldn't help but hold his breath, and even the fear rising in his heart was briefly suppressed.

It was a giant dragon covered in translucent, crystal-like silver-white scales, its body shrouded in seven-colored light. Even from a distance, Dai Huabin could feel the ethereal and sacred aura emanating from it.

Like a god overlooking the world, they inspire awe in all who behold them.

Just as he looked at the other party, the dragon also cast an indifferent gaze at him.

For some reason, upon seeing those huge, dark purple eyes, Dai Huabin felt a faint sense of familiarity.

It seems familiar.

There was no time for him to think it through. The strange sensation in his body made him subconsciously look down, and his pupils immediately contracted.

He was horrified to discover that, under the gaze of the silver dragon, his body was being annihilated, crumbled, and rapidly turned into nothingness from the bottom up.

The entire process was completely silent and painless; only the chillingly terrifying scene unfolded silently on Dai Huabin's body.

A strong sense of fear swept through his brain. He struggled desperately and screamed in terror, but just like before, he couldn't make a sound.

In this hellish space, even the ability to vent one's fear is completely taken away.

"Dai Huabin! Dai Huabin!"

From a whisper at the beginning to a louder and louder voice later, Dai Huabin's empty eyes finally regained some luster after being shaken by two teachers from the teaching affairs office.

As soon as his thoughts returned, a wave of weakness and excruciating pain, seemingly originating from his very soul, struck him, causing Dai Huabin to scream uncontrollably. Blood gushed from his mouth and nose, and his body began to convulse uncontrollably.

This feeling is like a large piece of one's soul has been forcibly ripped out. Even though he is still alive, he can clearly feel that his spiritual sea is like a water tank with a hole, and the spiritual power inside is slowly flowing away over time.

"save"

When the first word came out of Dai Huabin's mouth, he was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly lit up with surprise.

As if grasping at a lifeline, upon discovering that he could speak, Dai Huabin could no longer ignore the weakness surging in his mind. He grabbed the teacher beside him, his voice choked with fear.

"Save me, I don't want to die, save me!"

The two teachers were also stunned by Dai Huabin's appearance.

At first, the two of them thought that Dai Huabin was in a daze because he couldn't accept the blow of dropping out of school, but when they got closer, they found that Dai Huabin's mental strength was rapidly declining, and finally realized that something was wrong.

It was fine just now, how did it suddenly become like this?

Most importantly, this happened right under their noses, in a way that kept them completely unaware!

There was no time for them to think about how the murderer did it; the immediate priority was to check on Dai Huabin's condition.

However, what they saw shocked them.

With their cultivation levels already at the Soul Emperor and Soul Saint levels, they were naturally much stronger than Dai Huabin, who was at the Soul Venerable level. This allowed them to clearly sense that the other party's spiritual power, though very slowly, was indeed dissipating.

How could it be so serious?!

After a brief silence, the two teachers subconsciously exchanged a glance, both seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.

Although he wasn't a spirit master or a healing master, how could a teacher who had lived for so many years and had some experience not see that Dai Huabin's spiritual sea had suffered extremely serious damage?

But precisely because they could see that Dai Huabin was already considered to be sentenced to death in their eyes.

As the most important thing for a person, the spiritual sea is something they have never seen anyone survive.

Based on their perception of the rate at which spiritual energy was depleting, they deduced that Dai Huabin's spiritual sea would be completely emptied within a few months.

At that point, even if the boy in front of you doesn't die, he will become a completely unconscious vegetable.

Suppressing their own thoughts, and looking at Dai Huabin, whose eyes were still filled with tears as he tried to ask them for help, the two teachers had silently completed their division of labor.

"Dai Huabin, please calm down. I'll take you to the infirmary right now. In order for your injuries to be treated, I need to know what happened to you and what exactly happened. Please tell me the truth on the way."

One of the teachers grabbed Dai Huabin, comforted him, and quickly walked towards the infirmary.

The other teacher looked around, observing the curious eyes of the students, and spoke with a serious expression.

"Alright, stop watching and let's continue the lesson."

After saying that, he didn't linger any longer. He nodded to the teacher on the podium and walked out of the classroom. However, he didn't go to the infirmary with his classmates. Instead, he turned around and headed towards the administration office.

It was like a trivial little incident; the suspended class resumed, but the students' minds were no longer on the blackboard.

Dai Huabin, a core disciple, actually hired someone to harm other students, and at this critical moment, he was suddenly and without warning seriously injured.

The whole process was absurd and convoluted; if one hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, probably no one would have believed it.

After a long while, as if finally coming to her senses, Zhu Lu subconsciously looked up and was slightly taken aback when she discovered that the silver-haired girl who should have been sitting in the seat in front of her had disappeared.

What about people?

"I never imagined that this heinous incident was committed by a student from within the school. It's my fault that this matter wasn't thoroughly investigated. I've already sent people to handle it, and I believe there will be results soon."

Ignoring Dai Yueheng's dark face, Du Weilun, who had already chosen a side, said a lot of indignant words, then cautiously glanced at Zhang Lexuan, whose face had been gloomy from beginning to end, and finally looked at Huo Yuhao, asking with a dry smile.

"Yuhao, are you satisfied with the outcome of this matter?"
