Chapter 46 Electrolux's Response
After Xuan Zi left, Wang Yan began to bustle around checking the injuries of several injured students, treating them and administering medicines to suppress their injuries. He also used his own soul power to suppress Yao Haoxuan, who was more seriously injured.
At this time, the only one who could help was Ning Tian, so she went to help the regular team and suppressed the corpse poison with the help of her second soul skill.
Except for Gong Yang Mo and Ning Tian, no one else in the team had the ability to treat and suppress the corpse poison, so they all scattered and were on guard, or recovering their soul power lost in the previous battle.
Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and began to rest, using the excuse that he had just used a fourth-level defensive soul guide and had consumed too much soul power. Of course, Huo Yuhao's consciousness had actually entered the sea of spiritual power. After all, his soul power was restored with the help of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
After Huo Yuhao’s consciousness entered the Sea of Consciousness, the small gray ball that usually lay quietly at the bottom of the Sea of Consciousness floated up and appeared in front of Huo Yuhao.
"Master Yi." Huo Yuhao had almost guessed why Alex had unexpectedly appeared in front of him.
One of the reasons is that due to the influence of the messenger of death, Alex recovered some of his memories about the magic of the dead.
The second reason was that he used his soul skills to hint and control Dai Yuheng, causing him to be killed by the corpse explosion. This allowed Alex to see that Huo Yuhao had actually anticipated the danger of this battle but did not tell anyone else.
“Dai Huabin, Dai Yueheng, and the White Tiger Duke’s Mansion have some old grudges against me. This was indeed intentional on my part. And out of consideration for concealing my abilities, I am not prepared to reveal my abilities to ordinary people.” Huo Yuhao said bluntly.
"But I don't sense any real hatred from your emotions." Alex sighed, and the old voice continued, "So in my opinion, your hatred is not to the point where you need to kill the other party."
"Or rather, my feeling is that when you chose to influence Dai Yuheng and lead him to death, I didn't even feel the emotional fluctuations in your heart. No good or bad emotions or thoughts actually occurred."
Huo Yuhao nodded and said bluntly: "The dangers of this battle are indeed within my calculations. Although others besides Dai Yuheng were injured, they are still within an acceptable range."
"And if Dai Yuheng hadn't been sacrificed, the damage to others would have been even worse. As for emotions? Good or bad, like or hate, I don't think these can influence my personal will."
Huo Yuhao then said calmly: "The reason why we chose Dai Yueheng is because he is a suitable candidate and happened to appear in such a suitable situation."
The voice coming from the gray ball that Alex transformed into was a little erratic: "So this is what makes me confused and even a little surprised."
"My child, you take the life and death of others too lightly. This is not a good thing. People who have no fear of death are more likely to step into self-destruction."
"If you have strong emotions in your heart, whether good or bad, I can guide you and show you the way forward, but only when you really have no feelings about it, I don't know how to help you."
"That's not a bad thing though, because it also means that, as you said, your self is in your control."
Looking at Huo Yuhao, Alex couldn't help but feel a little melancholy. Was the generation gap between him and this world too deep? Or was Huo Yuhao just too weird?
Because Huo Yuhao was chosen as the host for his broken spiritual consciousness, Alex actually had a very good impression of Huo Yuhao from the very beginning.
He studies hard, practices hard, has quick thinking and is calm in his dealings. He is undoubtedly a good candidate to be a mage. Coupled with his unique gift, the Eye of Truth, and his terrifying luck, he is definitely a sign of being chosen by God.
Moreover, when Alex traveled through time, he could also feel that the laws of this world allowed the birth of gods. In other words, if nothing unexpected happened, Huo Yuhao already had the foundation to become a god with everything he had now.
Alex's own Heart of Light and Tower of Eternity have already been passed down in the Holy Demon Continent. The only regret he has is that the most powerful undead magic, which he studied last, has no successor.
The essence of necromancy is not evil, it is just another way of existence after life comes to an end. The mages' research on death and what happens after death gave birth to necromancy.
Although Alex's memory recovery was not complete due to his incomplete consciousness, after some memories related to necromancy returned, his corresponding emotions were also recovered by about one-tenth or one-twelfth.
Whether it was the lingering memories of the deep hatred in the past, or the peaceful and stable state of mind today, and the desire to pass on the magic of the dead, they have almost all been recovered.
Based on Alex's previous observations of Huo Yuhao, he was actually very optimistic about this young man. In his opinion, Huo Yuhao should be the only choice to inherit his undead magic.
But at this moment, Alex seemed a little conflicted, because in his opinion, the character revealed by Huo Yuhao tended to be chaotic and difficult to guess, but he fundamentally did not harbor any subjective malice or goodwill, and it seemed that everything was centered on himself.
Although from this point of view, it is not wrong for a wizard to do so, but there is no right or wrong. What would happen if such a person obtained the magic of the undead?
Moreover, Alex also understood that Huo Yuhao could actually win his favor through other means, but Huo Yuhao did not do so. Instead, he showed his true character in front of him.
Huo Yuhao calmly looked at the gray ball in front of him, which had been silent for a while, and said, "Master Yi, if there is nothing else, I will continue my research."
For Huo Yuhao, Alex's reaction was actually something he had expected.
After all, through the introduction of Electrolux and his life experience in the original text, it is not difficult to guess what kind of personality and what kind of person Electrolux is.
If we say that Alex, who was born as a son of light, has an innate initial alignment tendency of lawful good.
Then the Avenger Alex, who carried hatred and transformed into a necromancer during that period, should be regarded as chaotic evil after a complete reversal.
Everything he does is for revenge, even if it means dragging unrelated people into the abyss. As long as he can achieve his goal of revenge, he will do anything.
After dying together with the Pope and remaining silent in the Tower of Aion for a long time, the original hatred was released as the Holy See was reduced to ashes.
After being redeemed by Long Haochen and Sheng Caier and resolving his obsession and hatred, Alex should be neutral and more inclined towards kindness. In other words, after abandoning his past concerns and hatred, Alex is more inclined to be a real mage, but because of what he did in the past, his choices will be as inclined towards kindness as possible.
However, because of his past experiences, Alex was not actually pedantic. Even when he met Huo Yuhao, who was blinded by hatred in the original work, he did not choose to reject him at all.
So this time Huo Yuhao chose to show his true self completely in front of Alex. As for how the other party sees him, it is up to the other party to judge for himself.
Compared to hiding his true intentions, pretending to be kind and imitating Huo Yuhao in the original novel to gain Alex's approval, or using other methods to play himself in order to gain Alex's approval, Huo Yuhao does not need this method.
Because even if Alex did not approve of him, Alex would not do anything excessive to Huo Yuhao now. It was nothing more than losing the possibility of inheriting the magic of the undead.
Without the magic of the dead, Huo Yuhao would indeed be missing an extremely important aid, but this is not absolute, because there are still more resources available on the Douluo Continent.
It is better to spend time and find ways to explore overseas secret places and gather new resources than to suppress your original character and disguise yourself, and then fall out with Alex and have a conflict after inheriting the undead magic.
Moreover, Huo Yuhao actually believed that Alex did not dislike the true character he showed now. At most, he would observe him for a longer time.
"Oh." Alex sighed, and the gray ball fell back into the sea of spirituality.
"Forget it, forget it. Let's observe Yuhao for a while longer."
After studying the soul guide core formation for a while, Huo Yuhao was reminded by the spiritual power from the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm that some new changes had occurred in the outside world, but they were not urgent.
After Huo Yuhao opened his eyes, Xuan Zi had appeared beside Wang Yan. At this time, all the others had gathered around. As Huo Yuhao had expected, Xuan Zi, who had left angrily, came back with a lot of anger in his heart.
Thinking back to the previous chase, Xuan Zi still felt an indescribable sense of frustration in his heart.
He killed twelve disgusting corpse slaves in a row. Each corpse slave would self-explode after being killed by him. Although they could not hurt him, the disgusting stench seemed to still linger in his nostrils.
As for the figure of the Death Messenger himself, no one knew where he had disappeared to. As a Super Douluo, he had not even caught an evil soul master who was only at the Soul King level, and he had also let the inner court disciples of Shrek Academy fall to this Soul King.
If such a thing gets out, Xuan Zi's old face will be trampled on the ground!
But now that things have come to this, Xuan Zi calmed down his anger a little and asked Wang Yan in a muffled voice: "Wang Yan, how are the children?"
Wang Yan shook his head and said helplessly: "Master Xuan, except for Yao Haoxuan, most of the others are only slightly injured. Xixi and Ling Luochen will be able to expel the corpse poison from their bodies through their soul power after a little training, but they may not be able to fight at full strength in the short term."
"As for Ma Xiaotao, apart from the fact that she has overdrawn her soul power, she is fine. She only needs to recuperate for a while."
"The corpse poison accumulated in Chen Zifeng and Gong Yangmo's bodies is slightly more serious, but it's not a big problem. With the treatment drugs provided by the academy, they can recover their combat effectiveness after resting for half a month."
"Yao Haoxuan has corpse poison in his body. He needs to recuperate for at least a month to force the corpse poison out of his body bit by bit. Otherwise, it may pose a hidden danger to his future cultivation."
“As for the reserve team members, since Huo Yuhao was using a level 4 defensive soul guide, they were almost not affected by the corpse poison. It was just that Huo Yuhao’s own soul power was severely depleted.”
Hearing this, Xuanzi's anger subsided a little: "Is that so? That's fine, hey, Wang Yan, take the others to Xingluo City first, and the arrangements for the early stages of this competition will be left to you."
"Leave Yao Haoxuan's words to me. I will take him back to the academy for treatment and try to get back before the end of the competition."
"As for Dai Yueheng and the Duke of White Tiger's mansion, I will go there and give them a proper explanation."
"Yes, Master Xuan." Wang Yan reluctantly took on this heavy responsibility.
After Xuan Zi went back, the burden of leading the team fell on him. If Shrek Academy made a fool of itself in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, the responsibility he would have to bear as the team leader would not be small.
Logically speaking, the teachers in Shrek Academy should all be at least Soul Emperor level, but Xuanzi took advantage of it.
As Xuanzi's disciple, Wang Yan is a theorist. Although he only has the Soul King level of cultivation, he has successfully served as a lecturer at Shrek Academy. However, there are constant rumors.
This is also the reason why Wang Yan would not reveal his martial soul under normal circumstances. After all, if he did so, the cultivation level of his five soul rings would naturally be exposed.
As the teacher leading the Shrek Academy's team to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, it was originally just an experience to gild his resume. After all, no one thought that other academies were qualified to defeat the Shrek Academy's main team.
However, with so many casualties at this time, if something unexpected happens in this competition, it is hard to say whether Wang Yan, the teacher who got in through the backdoor, can still stay in Shrek Academy.
Thinking of this, Wang Yan's eyes darkened, and at the same time he made up his mind that he must hold on no matter what, for the glory of Shrek and also so that he could continue to stay in Shrek Academy as a teacher.
After saying that, Xuan Zi stopped wasting time and waved his greasy big hand. It was obvious that he had just eaten something.
A thick layer of white soul power enveloped Yao Haoxuan, who was lying dead on the ground. Then Xuan Zi took Yao Haoxuan and flew towards Shrek Academy at an extremely fast speed.
