Chapter 7: Back at the Academy, I Had a Big Meal
The weapons were ready, and Wu Heyi silently counted down the time. Less than a minute passed in the blink of an eye.
Wu Heyi had a flash of inspiration and thought of a divine skill. He decided to take a gamble and see if he could successfully use it.
The moment Wu Heyi laid down his weapon, everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed.
Everyone's inner world is different.
The three little kids were filled with a mixture of envy and admiration, while the two great soul masters were filled with respect.
Soul Master Huang was more astonished. Others who had not reached the Soul Master level might have thought that Wu Heyi could only achieve the level of Soul Master.
However, Lao Huang's understanding has been completely overturned by Wu Heyi. He firmly believes that Wu Heyi's current strength is not at the level of Soul Venerable, but has already reached the level of Soul Master.
But just as they were immersed in the turmoil in their hearts, Wu Heyi suddenly disarmed himself and merged with the armor, becoming incredibly weak, like a candle flickering in the wind.
However, they all clearly remembered that Wu Heyi said his soul skill would last for five minutes, but now it seems that it hasn't even lasted four minutes.
The first to come to her senses was a little girl from the same village as Wu Heyi. Before Wu Heyi fell to the ground, she caught him like a nimble swallow.
Five seconds ago.
Wu Heyi stared at the remaining minute and resolutely decided to try the meditation mudra.
He gently placed his hands in front of his abdomen, palms together, one above the other, and softly recited "meditation mudra".
In the blink of an eye, the world centered around Wu Heyi suddenly fell into a deathly silence. The sound of the wind disappeared, the birdsong was silenced, the roars of beasts dissipated, and even the withered yellow leaves and dust floating in the air seemed to be frozen in time.
However, Wu Heyi was shocked to find that the armor's energy vanished instantly. The Zen Seal lasted only three seconds before he felt a deep sense of powerlessness from his soul sea, as if a large amount of soul power had been drained in an instant. This feeling was not only the weakness caused by the loss of soul power, but also the double depletion of mental and physical strength. Under the heavy pressure of this triple depletion, the feeling of powerlessness made Wu Heyi suffer unbearably.
The group quickly brought Wu Heyi back to the academy to report, and the three teachers also submitted a report on the students' acquisition of soul rings.
When the dean heard that Wu Heyi had actually obtained a thousand-year-old soul ring, his jaw nearly dropped in astonishment.
"What did you say?"
"You're sending a level 10 Soul Master to absorb a thousand-year Soul Ring?"
"Are you crazy?"
……
The dean unleashed a torrent of furious abuse on the three teachers.
"You are leading four of the best students in the academy this year. If the students are immature, are the four of you also immature?"
The three teachers were so reprimanded that they stood like statues, not daring to move or even breathe. Just as Soul Master Huang was about to explain, he was interrupted again.
The three of them were scolded for over an hour. The dean was so hoarse from all the scolding that he picked up his water glass and gulped down two mouthfuls like a cow before he could catch his breath.
Seeing the three of them deflated like punctured balloons, the vice dean asked a question.
"Was the child's body brought back?"
Upon hearing this question, Old Liu looked ashamed and stammered.
"No, no..."
"I didn't bring it back!"
The vice dean was instantly enraged and shouted.
"You beasts! How dare you! I'll have you court-martialed today!"
The vice dean stood up, and a Dragon-Slaying Mace appeared on his right hand like lightning. Five spirit rings emerged from his body like dazzling stars.
A powerful pressure of soul energy washed over them, and the three of them involuntarily took a few steps back.
"No, no, I mean you're not dead!"
Old Liu hurriedly waved his hand, large beads of sweat streaming down his face.
"He successfully absorbed the spirit ring!"
"What!" The dean grabbed Old Liu by the collar and lifted him up instantly. "Say that again!"
The dean's anger had not diminished, and his tone was filled with disbelief and disdain.
"Liang Yuan is calm. He's really not dead. He absorbed a thousand-year soul ring and is resting in the student dormitory now!"
The only female teacher among the three quickly offered an explanation.
The dean's anger subsided slightly after hearing this, and he put the person down.
He ordered the three men to recount the events in detail again.
The three of them recounted all the details vividly, and then the two deans fell silent.
The dean remained silent, and the three of them dared not say anything more after they finished speaking.
After a moment's hesitation, the vice dean spoke.
"You three go back first, go to the military headquarters to collect three hundred lashes, then serve three months' imprisonment, and bring that kid to see me tomorrow!"
Upon receiving the order, the three hurriedly left, fearing that even a second's delay would result in doubled punishment.
The three had barely left when the two deans started talking.
Wu Heyi had been lying in bed in the dormitory for a whole day. His physical strength, soul power, and mental power had almost recovered, but his stomach was already growling with hunger!
He dashed to the college cafeteria in a flash and began to devour the food like a whirlwind.
He looked exactly like a "starving ghost reincarnated," and in no time, the empty plates next to Wu Heyi were piled up into three small mountains.
His stomach was like a bottomless pit; all you could see was food going in, but his stomach never got round, and you never knew where all the food went.
His way of eating attracted a lot of people to stop and watch, and even the food chefs in the kitchen couldn't help but come out to see.
I heard that a "gluttonous beast" has arrived in the cafeteria and is frantically "devouring" all the food!
Wu Heyi ate and ate for two hours at the buffet, finishing off half of the food in the canteen, before finally patting his belly and leaving satisfied.
If he hadn't signed the Empire's Talent Agreement, which provided him with free room and board, this one meal would have cost him five or six hundred gold soul coins, which he simply couldn't afford!
Good heavens, Wu Heyi ate half a month's worth of ingredients that the canteen had purchased in one meal.
He patted his round belly, leisurely picked his teeth with a toothpick, and sauntered away from the canteen. Just then, a teacher ran over to tell him that the dean wanted to see him and needed him to go to the dean's office immediately.
Wu Heyi, who had just finished eating, was completely stunned when he heard this.
"What's going on? Did you skip evening self-study yesterday, or did you eat too much? Why are you calling me over? Is the school so unreliable?"
Although Wu Heyi's mind was a complete mess, he still strode confidently toward the dean's office.
There was no other way; the Wind Eagle Armor had given him the courage!
A short while later, he saw three familiar figures standing crookedly at the entrance of the dean's office, looking like they had been caught daydreaming in class and were being punished by the teacher to stand in the corridor!
