Chapter 30 Returning to the Stars
In the inner courtyard, outside a secret room.
The inner court teacher no longer concealed his intentions. He grabbed Huo Yutong's arm and, almost dragging and coaxing her, led her to a heavy stone door.
The heat emanating from inside the door caused the surface temperature of the stone door to rise significantly.
"Huo Yutong, I'm so sorry! But Xiao Tao... she really can't hold on much longer! I'm her teacher, I can't just stand by and watch her be consumed by the evil fire!"
I beg you, save her! If you can suppress her evil fire, the academy and I personally will reward you handsomely!
Huo Yutong initially thought the other party simply brought her to meet Ma Xiaotao, but she didn't expect Ma Xiaotao to be on the verge of losing control.
Huo Yutong looked at the other person's pleading posture, which was almost as if he were kneeling down, and was just about to agree when...
"Little Raindrop, don't agree!" Tianmeng's voice was filled with unprecedented anxiety. "The energy fluctuations of that guy inside are too terrifying. He's at least at the Soul Emperor level!"
Her flames are extremely violent. Although your Ultimate Ice is of a higher grade, the difference in soul power is too great. If you don't control it well, not only will you fail to save her, but you yourself will also be devoured by the evil fire, with unimaginable consequences!
"Tenmu is right," Hyotei's voice was serious. "This is not something you should be interfering in."
Electrolux added, "Yutong, compassion is commendable, but it must be acted upon within one's capabilities. Acting rashly may backfire. It would be wiser to wait for the academy's higher-ups to handle the situation."
Huo Yutong fell silent. Their words of advice echoed in her mind, and reason told her that this was extremely dangerous.
However, a faint cry for help could still be heard from behind the stone door. "Help me...it hurts so much..."
Huo Yutong's fist clenched silently, her nails digging deep into her palm. She looked at the inner court teacher, her voice firm: "Teacher, I promise you. Open the door."
"Thank you! Thank you so much, Huo Yutong!" The inner court teacher was overjoyed and burst into tears, quickly using a special method to open the stone door to the secret chamber.
An even hotter and more violent wave of air rushed towards us!
Without the slightest hesitation, Huo Yutong stepped into the secret chamber filled with crimson evil flames.
The heavy stone door slowly closed behind her.
Just as the stone door was about to close completely, Qian Duoduo appeared at the end of the corridor. "Stop!"
However, it was too late.
Qian Duoduo could only watch helplessly as the stone gate closed completely, isolating Huo Yutong and Ma Xiaotao inside.
"Damn it!" Qian Duoduo glared at the inner court teacher, trembling with anger.
But now is not the time to assign blame. He immediately tried to open the stone door, only to find that the internal energy was too violent and the emergency restriction had been triggered. Forcibly opening it from the outside would take time and could potentially impact the two people inside.
Inside the sealed room, the heat surged as if it were a tangible force, and the air distorted.
Ma Xiaotao was curled up in the center, her body writhing in uncontrollable crimson flames. Her beautiful features were distorted with pain, and her mind was nearly blurred.
As soon as Huo Yutong entered, she felt a terrifying burning sensation, and her soul power was extremely suppressed in this evil fire domain.
"Ice Emperor, I'm counting on you!" Huo Yutong silently prayed in her heart.
"Leave it to me." Hyotei's voice rang out, tinged with arrogance. "This mere evil fire dares to act so arrogantly before the ultimate ice?"
The next moment, a vast power far surpassing Huo Yutong's own, and extremely cold, instantly filled her limbs and bones.
Her eyes turned into a dazzling gold. She raised her hand, and without even releasing her martial spirit, an aura of absolute zero, seemingly capable of freezing the soul, spread out from her.
A flash of emerald light appeared, and the raging crimson evil fire seemed to have encountered its nemesis. Its violent momentum suddenly halted, and then it retreated back into Ma Xiaotao's body like a tide.
The suffocating heat inside the sealed room began to drop rapidly, and a layer of white frost even formed on the walls.
Ice Emperor controlled Huo Yutong's body, walking step by step towards the dazed Ma Xiaotao. He lightly touched her brow with his fingertip, and a pure and extremely powerful ice soul force flowed in, acting like the most effective tranquilizer, completely calming and suppressing the restless evil fire.
Ma Xiaotao's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, her painful groans stopped, her breathing became steady and long, and she fell into a deep sleep.
Inside the secret room, only the biting cold remained, along with Huo Yutong, who stood proudly in the center, her eyes gleaming with emerald light.
After a while, the door to the secret room slowly opened, and Qian Duoduo and Fan Yu's group, who had rushed over, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Xiao was the first to rush in and hug Huo Yutong tightly.
This locked-room incident caused quite a stir among the higher-ups at Shrek Academy.
Although Huo Yutong successfully suppressed Ma Xiaotao's evil fire with the power of the Ice Emperor and was unharmed, Bi Ji and Zi Ji's anger did not subside easily.
Zi Ji barged straight into the inner court teacher's office. Without using her soul power, she beat the teacher half to death with her terrifying physical strength alone, knocking out all his teeth. Of course, the teacher knew he was in the wrong and could only defend with his soul power.
Brigitte also expressed her dissatisfaction through her eyes and words.
This incident further convinced Brigitte and Violet that although Shrek Academy was a place of human elites, its internal complexities and potential dangers still required constant vigilance.
Just then, Huo Yutong felt that her soul power had improved during the previous suppression of the evil fire, reaching the bottleneck of level 30, and she urgently needed to obtain her third soul ring.
"Let's go back to Starry Sky," Brigitte suggested.
She walked to Huo Yutong's side and gently stroked her hair in a very natural way, her movements tender and caring.
She used her spiritual power to convey their unique message: "With us protecting you in Xingdou, you can obtain the most suitable spirit ring for you in the safest and smoothest way, without having to worry about any external interference."
Zi Ji wholeheartedly agreed, responding with her own spiritual power: "The resources of the Star Dou Great Forest are incomparable to those of this small place!"
Although the academy's higher-ups repeatedly assured Huo Yutong that they would hunt for the most suitable spirit ring, the academy eventually agreed to let Biji and Ziji accompany Huo Yutong, and generously granted them a month's leave, due to Biji and Ziji's insistence.
At the entrance of Shrek Academy, Huo Yutong bid farewell to Qian Duoduo, Fan Yu, Xiao Xiao, and others who came to see her off.
"Yutong, be careful and come back soon." Xiao Xiao held her hand, reluctant to part.
"Don't worry, with Sister Biling and Sister Ziyan here, everything will be fine," Huo Yutong said with a smile.
Meanwhile, because Huo Yutong went to hunt for a spirit ring, Class 1 of the first year needed to appoint an acting class leader, and Ning Tian took over as expected.
When Wang Dong heard the news that Huo Yutong was going to hunt souls, a faint golden light flashed in his pink-blue eyes.
As soon as Biji and Ziji led Huo Yutong out of Shrek City, they quickly disappeared into a secluded grove outside the city.
"Yutong, get on, I'll carry you." Ziji squatted down nimbly.
They worried that Shrek Academy might send people to secretly follow them for "protection" or other purposes.
Without the slightest hesitation, Huo Yutong obediently nestled against Zi Ji's warm back, her arms gently encircling her neck.
