Bonus Chapter. Enjoy!
============================
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao's brows furrowed, a trace of doubt flashing through his Spirit Eyes.
What danger could there be in Shrek Academy?
However, Xu Xiaoyan naturally wouldn't lie, and her panicked state was definitely genuine. Her messy hair, pale face, and rapid breathing all indicated that something had truly happened to Xie Xie.
The three didn't ask further and immediately followed Xu Xiaoyan, running toward the dormitory area.
Along the way, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but ask, "What exactly happened to Xie Xie? Who attacked him?"
He wondered, could it be the Shrek Students they had defeated at the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition?
Were they resentful and waiting for a chance at revenge?
But even if it were them, they shouldn't dare to make a move inside the academy, right?
This wasn't the outside world; with teachers watching, who would dare to act recklessly? Did they not want to stay in the academy anymore?
Xu Xiaoyan didn't dare to stop, her slender legs moving rapidly as she panted, "I don't know them. It should be a second-year senior."
"A second-year senior?" Na'er tilted her head and thought. "Xie Xie just has a bit of a foul mouth, but otherwise he's fine. How did he provoke her into attacking him like that?"
Xu Xiaoyan shook her head, her eyes full of helplessness. "I'm not sure of the specifics, but that senior is very powerful, and she looks like she's genuinely out for blood."
Since the distance wasn't far, everyone soon felt the aura of a battle. The aura was sharp and violent, carrying killing intent and rage as it surged through the air, making everyone's hearts tighten.
Passing the tall dormitory buildings, the group arrived at a somewhat "dilapidated" area.
The scene here was completely different from the tidiness outside; rows of low bungalows stood with mottled walls, broken roofs, and pitted roads. The roads and facilities were clearly much more worn out than the surroundings, like a forgotten corner or a ruin abandoned by time.
High above this area, a slender figure stood in mid-air, a pair of black wings flapping slowly behind her. Each flap brought a gust of cold, powerful wind.
This was a beautiful woman with short red hair, giving off a heroic and valiant impression. But right now, her face was full of anger and killing intent. She held a pitch-black longsword, and her purplish-red eyes were fixed right on Xie Xie, who was fleeing in a sorry state below!
By now, Xie Xie had quite a few wounds on his body, some deep and some shallow, but fortunately, none were fatal.
Xie Xie was only at the two-ring level. Even with Wu Changkong's training, the reason he could hold out until now was that someone had come to his rescue. Of course, this didn't refer to Huo Yuhao and the others; they had only just arrived.
In mid-air, directly across from the woman, there was another person. He didn't look very old either, about fifteen or sixteen, with handsome features and delicate facial lines. He had short golden hair that was exceptionally dazzling under the gloomy sky. Behind him was a pair of snow-white wings, holy and pure, emitting a soft light.
His entire body radiated a holy aura, the complete opposite of the woman across from him.
"Hahaha! I finally caught you!" His laughter was bright and loud, echoing in the sky with a hint of pride and excitement. "Evil Soul Master, I will take you down today!"
With that, he raised his holy sword and, with a flash of his body, took the initiative to meet his opponent.
Seeing Huo Yuhao and the others appear, Xie Xie immediately ran over. With Huo Yuhao there, he felt he would no longer be in any danger.
Meanwhile, everyone's attention was still on the mid-air battle.
The two figures were fighting fiercely, sword lights clashing and Spirit Power fluctuations surging through the air.
For a moment, neither could get the upper hand, locked in a stalemate.
Gu Yue frowned. "A Fallen Angel Spirit. I really didn't expect an Evil Soul Master to appear in Shrek Academy."
Na'er clapped her hands, her silver eyes full of excitement, looking like she was enjoying the spectacle.
"The Angel Martial Soul is the nemesis of Evil Soul Masters. holy power restrains most evil attributes. There's going to be a good show now."
Huo Yuhao was also watching the battle, his Spirit Eyes flickering with golden light.
"This Spirit Master with the Fallen Angel Spirit shouldn't be an Evil Soul Master. Although the Spirit attribute is darkness, it doesn't have the madness typical of an Evil Soul Master."
He had some understanding of Evil Soul Masters, having researched them and personally dealt with them before. He remembered their aura, their eyes, and their madness very clearly.
As for this woman, though her Spirit was dark, her aura was pure and her eyes were clear, unlike the crazed nature of an Evil Soul Master.
Seeing that the others had no intention of paying him any attention, Xie Xie couldn't help but shout, "Are you all really this heartless? Aren't you going to ask how I am?"
He stood there, covered in wounds, with blood still dripping down.
Na'er glanced at him. "Well, you're not dead yet, and the injuries don't look that serious."
Hearing this, Xie Xie felt as if a knife had been plunged into his chest. He felt he should not have asked; it was just asking for humiliation.
Huo Yuhao withdrew his gaze, his Spirit Eyes landing on Xie Xie as he asked, "What exactly happened?"
Meeting Huo Yuhao's gaze, Xie Xie lowered his head instead. His face, which was usually full of grins, was now filled with complexity. His eyes were fixed on the ground, not daring to meet Huo Yuhao's gaze, his lips trembling slightly.
"I... I..." Opening his mouth, Xie Xie seemed to have some unspeakable secret and couldn't say a word.
Huo Yuhao glanced at him. "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it for now!"
The two in the air were clearly getting serious; their sword lights grew sharper and their Spirit Abilities more violent, looking as if they wouldn't stop until one was dead.
Both unleashed their third Spirit Abilities. Dark and holy powers erupted, intertwining and clashing in the sky.
The commotion had already attracted many people's attention, and it wouldn't be long before the academy's teachers were alerted.
Huo Yuhao didn't intend to keep watching. After all, this matter seemed to have been caused by Xie Xie; if it led to serious consequences, he would also be held responsible.
Huo Yuhao's mental force reached out invisibly, instantly interrupting their third Spirit Abilities. The backlash from the abilities made both of them groan.
Then, a majestic aura erupted from Huo Yuhao. This aura was as heavy as a mountain and as surging as a tsunami, yet it precisely bypassed the people around him without affecting them, focusing mainly on the two in the air.
Both Angel Spirit Masters felt as if an invisible giant hand was pressing down from the sky, making it impossible for them to even stay airborne. Their bodies struggled desperately, but to no avail. Finally, the two fell from the sky and knelt on the ground with a dull thud.
Their gazes instantly focused on Huo Yuhao, realizing that this Student, who was even younger than them, was the one behind it all!
