Chapter 297 Destruction Fragments
Feeling the "life force" of his soul body draining away second by second, and his body growing fainter and fainter, the thought of wanting to teach Huo Yuhao a lesson in Nightmare's heart had long since vanished without a trace.
At this moment, even protecting himself was a luxury, let alone getting revenge.
Even so, he still did not back down.
The gradually blurring old face wore an unyielding expression, its cloudy eyes fixed intently on Huo Yuhao.
He shouted in a hoarse voice, "You win. I admit defeat. Do whatever you want with me."
Huo Yuhao slowly descended from mid-air back to the ground, raised his eyes to look at the stubborn old devil in front of him, his face showing no arrogance of a victor.
Without his teacher Electrox, he would have been the loser.
Nightmare's actions had indeed angered him, but he wasn't one to hold grudges, nor did he intend to kill the other person over a momentary grudge.
A minor punishment to serve as a warning, a point that stops short—this was the measure he had already planned out.
Moreover, since Yun Ming promised to send him in to gain benefits, it would be rather unfair to turn around and wipe out everyone here.
Huo Yuhao stared at the nightmare, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke.
"Shrek is just an academy. Over the years, only a small number of students who participate in training here actually choose to stay in the academy after graduation. The vast majority of them eventually go to the various powers of the Federation."
Nightmare and Devastation looked up at the same time, not understanding why Huo Yuhao was suddenly saying all this.
They thought that after gaining the upper hand, this kid would either swagger around and humiliate them, or he would directly attack and give them a quick death.
But he didn't; instead, he suddenly started lecturing on profound principles.
Huo Yuhao didn't explain, but continued, "So what you were really angry about just now wasn't my intention to leave the academy itself."
"The reason you're angry is because I once caused Shrek Academy to fail and lose face."
"What my seniors can't tolerate is that I, who once disgraced Shrek Academy, am now standing on Devil Island, comfortably enjoying the opportunities that should belong to Shrek Academy students."
He paused, met Nightmare's gaze calmly, and said, word by word, "In the end, what angers you seniors is not anything else, but the fact that your so-called pride of Shrek Academy has been trampled on by a kid from the Spirit Pagoda like me."
The two did not reveal their identities, but Huo Yuhao had accurately determined their origins from their outburst of anger.
These two old devils are definitely from Shrek Academy.
The two old monsters, Destruction and Nightmare, were over three thousand years old combined, yet they were rendered speechless by a fourteen-year-old boy.
As the victor, Huo Yuhao refrained from uttering any insults and addressed the other person as "senior," making it impossible for either of them to say anything harsh.
Their expressions gradually shifted from initial anger and resentment to silence and contemplation, clearly weighing the weight of Huo Yuhao's words.
Seeing that the two seemed to have calmed down, Huo Yuhao softened his tone and continued, "I am still a student of Shrek Academy, and I am here on Devil Island to train in accordance with the rules."
"In that case, the two seniors don't need to start shouting for battle right away, making it seem like Shrek Academy suffered a great loss."
After saying that, Huo Yuhao casually gestured.
The golden runes that had sealed around Destruction and Nightmare instantly collapsed, turning into countless golden specks of light that drifted away like fireflies in the night sky.
The terrifying force that had been suffocating them dissipated, bringing a sense of relief to both of them.
Destruction and Nightmare regained their freedom, but showed no intention of striking again.
Huo Yuhao ignored the two of them. Some things were better left unsaid. The other party had lived for over a thousand years and would naturally figure out what he needed to. There was no point in saying more if he couldn't figure it out.
He shifted his gaze from the two old devils to his five companions, who were still lost in their own dreams on the grass beside him.
Tang Wulin and the others, on the other hand, were normal and were still struggling in their "nightmare".
But when Huo Yuhao's gaze swept over Na'er and Gu Yue, his eyebrows twitched slightly.
On the surface, Na'er and Gu Yue, like the other three, seemed to be immersed in the terrifying dream woven by the Nightmare Demon.
But for a fleeting moment, Huo Yuhao clearly caught a glimpse of clarity in Na'er and Gu Yue's eyes.
He was all too familiar with that look in her eyes. She had clearly seen through the illusion, but was pretending not to know anything and continuing to play along in the dream.
Upon seeing this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly, secretly chuckling to himself.
He turned his head and looked at Nightmare again: "Senior, let Gu Yue and Na'er come out. This trial is no longer of any use to them."
Without the suppression of magic, the previously ethereal and almost vanished soul of Nightmare solidified considerably.
He glanced at the image in the ball of light above Gu Yue and Na'er's heads, and a moment later, a sharp glint flashed in his cloudy old eyes.
He had been so focused on Huo Yuhao that he hadn't had time to examine the two girls' dreams closely.
Reminded by Huo Yuhao, he took a closer look and naturally noticed the anomaly.
The nightmare paused for a moment, then with a slight thought, the orbs of light above Gu Yue and Na'er's heads quietly shattered.
Then the two of them slowly woke up, their long eyelashes trembling, and their two clear eyes opened almost at the same time.
The two of them slowly stood up from the grass, brushed the grass clippings off their skirts, and then walked slowly to Huo Yuhao's side.
The whole process was so relaxed, as if they hadn't just woken up from a nightmare, but rather woken up naturally after a nap.
Nightmare stared at the three people standing side by side, her lips moving for a long time before she finally couldn't help but sigh, "Three of these little monsters have come all at once."
Huo Yuhao's words just now did indeed awaken the two old demons, Nightmare and Destruction.
However, both of them still had pride, and it was absolutely impossible for them to swallow their pride and apologize to Huo Yuhao.
Fortunately, Huo Yuhao seemed to have realized this as well and did not continue to dwell on the previous topic.
With the tacit understanding between the two sides, the conflict that had just been so close to a life-or-death situation was gently brushed aside by an invisible hand, and no one mentioned it again, as if it had never happened.
After Gu Yue walked to Huo Yuhao's side, she naturally took Huo Yuhao's hand.
Her purple eyes reflected the dark purple beam of light shooting into the sky in the distance. She turned her head slightly and transmitted her voice to Huo Yuhao: "On Devil's Island, only that place is worth going to."
Huo Yuhao followed Gu Yue's gaze and saw that at the very center of the valley was the spot where the purplish-black pillar of light soared into the sky.
Just a glimpse from afar is enough to send a chill down one's spine.
After arriving here, our teacher, Electrox, told us that divine power existed here.
In Huo Yuhao's perception, the purplish-black pillar of light was clearly the source of divine power.
He withdrew his gaze from the nightmare and the shattered illusion, and asked calmly, "Shouldn't we just skip this trial?"
Nightmare was silent for a moment, then sighed heavily.
All three of them saw through the illusion he had created, so what was the point of continuing the trial?
He waved his hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Since you've seen through the illusion, then you've passed the test."
Huo Yuhao nodded and didn't say anything more.
He tightened his grip on Gu Yue's hand slightly, then lifted his foot and walked towards the center of the valley.
Seeing this, Po Mie flashed and stood in front of the three of them.
He warned with a serious expression, "It's dangerous there."
Huo Yuhao stopped and said, "It's dangerous, but it's also an opportunity, isn't it?"
His eyes flickered slightly. Even if Huo Yuhao and the others didn't go over there now, he would still arrange for these teenagers to come into contact with that aura of destruction during the subsequent trials.
He pondered for a moment, then raised his withered hand and pointed towards the purplish-black pillar of light that shot into the sky in the center of the valley.
His aged voice carried a hint of solemnity: "Devil's Island was born because a batch of destructive fragments fell from the sky a thousand years ago and crashed into this sea area."
"The black islands, black vegetation, and black seawater that you saw when you landed on the island are all the result of the long-term taint caused by the aura of those destroyed fragments."
"And this one in the valley is the largest piece of destroyed debris in the entire surrounding archipelago."
He paused, his tone becoming even more serious: "Anyone who gets close to that area will be relentlessly eroded by the pervasive aura of destruction."
"That erosion doesn't just affect the body; it will cause endless pain to your soul as well."
Sensing the rare kindness emanating from Po Mie, Huo Yuhao smiled, his tone softening slightly: "Thank you for the reminder, senior, but I'd rather see it for myself."
After saying that, he turned around and let the light fall on the Nightmare Demon.
"Senior, there are methods to tempering one's mind; some methods are better left unused."
Nightmare knew what Huo Yuhao was referring to. His old face stiffened slightly, and he let out a heavy snort from his nose.
He turned his head to the side, looking like he couldn't be bothered to pay attention, but he didn't say anything in response.
Huo Yuhao could tell from his expression that although the old devil wouldn't admit it, he had taken his words to heart.
He said no more, turned around, gripped Gu Yue's hand tightly, and strode towards the purplish-black pillar of light that shot into the sky in the center of the valley.
