Chapter 69 Oh no, it's reacting!
Lynch had already left, but none of the "materials" captured by him escaped. Their eyes were all vacant, staring at the sky.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed across the sky, and a strange wave spread, awakening everyone whose eyes were lifeless.
"What happened?"
One of the fighters looked around, somewhat bewildered by the situation. When he looked down, he was surprised to find that the iron chains binding his hands and feet had been melted by something.
Huo Yuhao stood high in the sky, watching the people below begin to scatter and flee, and said to those around him:
"Senior Lingying, let's go back."
The black storm dissipated, and the sky cleared again. The Canaan Academy convoy resumed its journey, flying straight towards Peace Town without stopping.
"Brother Yuhao, what happened just now..." After Huo Yuhao returned to the Canaan Academy team, Little Fairy Doctor carefully examined Huo Yuhao's entire body. Only after confirming that there were no wounds did she breathe a sigh of relief and ask in a low voice.
"It's nothing, Senior Ling Ying is with us." Huo Yuhao interrupted her question.
"Hey you two," Xiao Yu, who was in the same carriage as them, laughed, "you've been glued together since you got on the train, and you haven't stopped for so long! Don't you have any hope for us single folks?!"
The term "single dog" was also "invented" by Xiao Yan. Because of its unique image, it received unanimous praise and quickly spread throughout Wutan City and some surrounding cities.
"Sister Xiao Yutang!" Little Fairy Doctor's cheeks flushed, and she immediately sat up straight.
"You brat, really..." Upon hearing the title "Little Fairy Doctor," Xiao Yu rolled her eyes at Huo Yuhao.
After two more days of flying, the flying caravan finally entered the territory of Canaan Academy and landed in Peace Town.
Peace Town, which is usually frequented by people from the Black Corner Region, has been completely cleared out. All the thugs have been driven out of the town and are not even allowed to stay within a ten-mile radius outside the town.
The flying magical beast landed smoothly in a wide-open square in the town. Under the guidance of their mentors, the new students filed down and lined up in front of their respective mentors.
"Welcome to our first stop at Canaan Academy—Peace Town!" A stern-faced middle-aged instructor stood at the front of the line, his voice steady: "Although this place is called Peace Town, it is located in the heart of the Black Corner Region. The safety you see is due to the academy clearing the area beforehand!"
His gaze swept over the young faces, filled with curiosity and nervousness, finally settling on a huge, black, withered tree at the entrance to the town. The tree was entirely black, emanating an unsettling, chilling aura. What was most unsettling was that among the branches, several corpses were hanging, swaying and creaking in the gentle breeze.
"See that tree?" The mentor's voice was cold. "That's the 'Tree of the Dead'! Hanging on it are all the thugs who dared to break the rules in Peace Town! They all once possessed the power you craved. But they were arrogant and thought that having power meant they could do whatever they wanted. So, they died here."
The instructor's voice suddenly rose: "At Canaan Academy, power is not a reason for indulgence! Being a genius is not a shield to disregard the rules! Canaan Academy will help you gain power, but it will also teach you to respect power!"
The stern voice extinguished the arrogance in the freshmen's hearts. Seeing the restlessness in their eyes vanish, the instructor nodded in satisfaction.
He paused, then softened his tone, "Now, everyone, line up and follow your assigned mentors into the academy."
Just then, a slight buzzing sound rang out; it was Xiao Yan calling.
"Huo Yuhao!"
"What is it?" Huo Yuhao picked up the communication artifact and put it to his ear.
"Is Little Fairy Doctor not with you?"
Huo Yuhao glanced at Little Fairy Doctor, who was chatting with Xiao Yu.
"No, you can tell me."
"Huo Yuhao! You've fucking killed me!" Xiao Yan's somewhat exasperated voice rang out from the communication artifact.
"Oh, what's wrong?" Huo Yuhao moved the communication device slightly away from his ear and rubbed his slightly ringing ears.
"Didn't you say you were going to throw the medicine away?" Judging from the voice, Xiao Yan seemed to be being chased by someone, with the background sounds mixed with the howling wind and some kind of sharp sound of air being cut.
"What happened to you?" Huo Yuhao's eyebrows furrowed, and his voice carried a hint of tension.
After a moment, Xiao Yan's panting voice came again: "I'm fine. Huo Yuhao, you didn't throw away the first medicine I refined?"
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao understood what had probably happened on the other end. Feeling relieved, his voice relaxed considerably: "No, I was just joking back then. You should have thought about how I'm going to throw the things out of your storage ring."
"Damn it! You're going to kill me."
"Your medicine? Just use your battle qi to suppress it, won't that solve the problem?"
"And that lousy Burning Blood you modified, why are those two things reacting?!"
"What about the teacher? Didn't they stop it?" Huo Yuhao asked curiously.
"That weird old man! He's just a bystander!"
At this moment, Little Fairy Doctor quietly pricked up her ears, trying to eavesdrop on Huo Yuhao and Xiao Yan's conversation.
*Snap!* Huo Yuhao used his mental power to extinguish Xiao Yan's call.
……
"Feed? Huo Yuhao?" Xiao Yan shouted into the communication device while dodging.
"Have you finished your last words?" Yun Yun held her long sword, the blush on her skin still lingering. Tears welled in her eyes as she wildly slashed at Xiao Yan.
Despite being a powerful Dou Huang, Xiao Yan's attacks were completely unpredictable, and he easily dodged them each time. Their interaction didn't seem like a battle, but rather like flirting. However, this "flirting" was rather exhausting.
"Sister Yunzhi, this is not my fault! You put the wrong seasoning in, and you couldn't hold back. I wanted to help you resolve this, but I didn't even have time!" Xiao Yan was exhausted and his voice was weak.
Clang! The long sword fell from her hand. Yun Yun leaned against the cave wall, hugged her knees, and sobbed softly.
After Yun Yun stopped pursuing him, Xiao Yan seized the opportunity, dressed, and exchanged a warm and friendly greeting with Yao Chen in the Sea of Spirit.
At this moment, Yun Yun's suppressed sobs reached Xiao Yan's ears. Xiao Yan's face fell, a heavy feeling pressing down on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.
Biting his lower lip hard, Xiao Yan made up his mind and sat down beside her: "Sister Yunzhi, I..."
Suddenly, a finger touched his lips. Yun Yun stopped sobbing, her voice slightly nasal, but the firmness in her words was very clear:
"Let's pretend that what happened today never happened."
"No way!" Xiao Yan blurted out.
Yun Yun straightened up, her tone calm: "I am Yun Yun, the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect. It was just an accident; do you expect me to marry you?"
"Hehe!" Xiao Yan gave a bitter laugh, but his voice was equally firm: "Sect Leader Yun... I will not give up."
Faced with Xiao Yan's unwavering gaze, Yun Yun felt her resolve faltering. She said, her voice tinged with bravado, "Hmph, we'll see when you become a Dou Wang."
