Chapter 105 Liu Yuan's suggestion: Let Electrolux come with me!
Upon hearing Du Bu Si's matter-of-fact response, Liu Yuan was suddenly moved by something indescribable.
He was well aware that his current identity was that of the absolute core of the Heavenly Soul Royal Academy, and the person he was going to talk to was Huo Yuhao, who belonged to Shrek Academy.
In the current situation where the competition for resources is fierce and the factions are almost hostile, Poison Undying, as the leader of a sect, not only did not stop him because of sectarian prejudice, but also took the initiative to keep an eye on Shrek's enemies in order to ensure his safety.
This unreserved trust and protectiveness allowed Liu Yuan to feel a genuine warmth in this world of Soul Masters where profit reigns supreme.
"Master, thank you very much." Liu Yuan turned around and solemnly bowed to Poison Undying as a disciple, his tone revealing unprecedented sincerity.
Poison Undying simply waved his hand dismissively, a rare smile of relief appearing on his arrogant old face.
"What are you thanking me for? Since I am your master, it is only natural for me to protect my own disciple. Do whatever you want. As long as I am here, that old dog Xuanzi will not be able to touch a hair on your head. Go on, don't let those guys get too far."
Accompanied by Du Bu Si, Liu Yuan quickly intercepted the Shrek Academy team at the end of the street.
The atmosphere among the Shrek members was extremely tense because they had missed out on the Life Gold.
Xuanzi walked at the front, muttering something to himself, while Huo Yuhao lowered his head, seemingly lost in a daze.
"Huo Yuhao, please wait a moment, I have something important to discuss with you."
Liu Yuan's voice rang out clearly on the street.
The Shrek members all stopped in their tracks. When they saw that the newcomers were Liu Yuan and Du Busi, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and the others immediately became wary.
Xuanzi turned around abruptly, his old face appearing particularly ferocious under the illumination of the soul-guiding streetlights.
He looked at Liu Yuan and reprimanded him in an extremely unfriendly tone: "Liu Yuan! You're already the apple of the Body Sect's eye. Why aren't you in your VIP seat? What business do you have with us Shrek Academy people? It seems we have nothing to talk about!"
Liu Yuan ignored Xuanzi's provocation and simply looked directly at Huo Yuhao.
Before Liu Yuan could even speak, Du Busi stepped forward, unleashing the overwhelming pressure of a level 98 Super Douluo, forcefully pushing back Xuan Zi's aura.
"What? Xuanzi, I haven't even spoken yet, what are you barking about?" Du Busi said with his arms crossed.
"Your Shrek Academy is known as the number one academy on the continent, but it is just an academy, not some cult or sect that restricts personal freedom."
"It's the students' freedom to make friends with whomever they want and chat with whomever they want. What business is it of yours, the teacher in charge? You can't control everything, can you? You can't control who they make friends with!"
"You!" Xuanzi was so angry that he trembled all over. His hand, which was pointing at Du Busi, was shaking slightly, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it.
Xuanzi took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, turned his head and stared intently at Huo Yuhao, his tone revealing a morbid question: "Huo Yuhao, I ask you, are you going to go with these people from the Body Sect? Are you going to betray the academy's stance?"
Huo Yuhao was in a state of extreme anxiety at this moment.
The image of Electrolux's decline in his mind was excruciating, and he had just witnessed Liu Yuan slap down that murderous blade that contained a tremendous life force.
Deep down, he harbored a sliver of hope, wanting to see if he could obtain some information about the Gold of Life from Liu Yuan through exchange or other means, in order to save Elder Yi.
"Elder Xuan, I want to hear what he has to say," Huo Yuhao said in a low voice, though his voice was weak, it carried an undeniable determination.
Upon hearing this answer, Xuanzi was like a firecracker that had been set on fire. He suddenly flung his sleeve and let out an angry roar.
"Fine! Fine! You traitor! Shrek Academy has poured all its resources into nurturing you, and you still want to seduce outsiders at a time like this! If you want to go, then go! I don't care anymore!"
After saying that, Xuanzi turned and left without looking back, leading Beibei and the others away. He didn't even bother to glance at Huo Yuhao again, leaving the reserve team member on the empty street.
Seeing this, Du Busi gave Liu Yuan a wink, then flashed into the shadows of a rooftop not far away, continuing to monitor the direction Shrek had left in.
Only Liu Yuan and Huo Yuhao remained on the street.
Liu Yuan looked at the somewhat down-on-his-luck young man before him, a faint, dark purple light flickering in his double pupils.
"Come with me, this is not the place to talk."
Liu Yuan led Huo Yuhao to a relatively quiet alley. After they stopped, Huo Yuhao spoke first, his tone urgent: "Liu Yuan, what do you want with me? Why are you being so mysterious?"
Liu Yuan looked at him, his tone calm as still water, and said directly, "Huo Yuhao, I'm looking for you because of my double pupils."
"You may not fully understand the power of my double pupils. My eyes have always had the ability to see through the essence of all things in the world."
At this point, Liu Yuan took a step forward, his voice extremely low, yet each word resounded like thunder in Huo Yuhao's ears.
"So, actually, a long time ago, when I first met you, I already saw it. Deep within your spiritual sea of consciousness, there reside two very special soul entities."
Huo Yuhao's pupils contracted sharply in that instant, and he froze on the spot, as if he could no longer breathe.
Liu Yuan continued without pausing, "One of them exudes an extremely pure frost aura, and its fusion with your current martial soul is very high. It presents a deep blue color, and should be the soul of some kind of top-tier soul beast. As for the other..."
Liu Yuan paused, his gaze becoming deep.
"The other one is an extremely old and weak spiritual source, which is pure black. Moreover, I can sense that its current condition is very bad, and that power of death and purification is constantly being depleted. If it is not replenished by a large source of life, it will probably not last more than a month before it completely dissipates."
Huo Yuhao trembled violently upon hearing this, his mind going completely blank.
He never revealed the existence of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and Ilex to anyone; even Xuanzi and Elder Mu could not see into the depths of his spiritual sea.
But now, Liu Yuan in front of him had casually revealed his biggest trump card.
Although Huo Yuhao did not directly admit it, he was completely unable to refute it, because Liu Yuan's description was too accurate, so accurate that even Electrolux's current color and weak state were exactly the same.
"You... your eyes are actually this special?" Huo Yuhao's voice became hoarse from shock.
As fellow owners of the Spirit Eye Martial Soul, he originally thought his Spirit Eyes and Liu Yuan's Double Pupils would be similar, but now he sees that the difference is not just a little bit.
The chilling feeling of being completely seen through made Huo Yuhao's evaluation of Liu Yuan rise to a terrifying level once again.
Huo Yuhao spoke again: "So, what do you want to do?"
Liu Yuan's voice rang out again: "What I mean is, he'll soon disappear if he stays with you. You have no way to keep him alive, so I might as well be the good guy."
"I have the gold of life, I can help him."
"Therefore, I've come up with this suggestion for you. I hope you'll consider it carefully. If you're willing, my Body Sect will offer you some reward."
