Douluo Huo Yuhao: My Clone is Too Self-Disciplined

Chapter 36 The Academy's Investigation

Shrek Academy, on the edge of Poseidon Lake.

It was already past midnight, and countless students in red school uniforms and Shrek Academy city defense soldiers were moving through all the woods by Poseidon Lake, seemingly searching for something!
At this moment, several powerful figures had appeared beside the unconscious Huo Yuhao!
Among them were prominent figures from Shrek Academy and the Sea God Pavilion, as well as teachers and high-ranking officials from Shrek Academy.

Yan Shaozhe's face was icy cold at this moment, and his gaze toward Huo Yuhao was also tinged with coldness.

But more than anything, there was disappointment!
Judging from the various signs at the scene, Ma Xiaotao's disappearance has nothing to do with this weak freshman in front of us. However, Huo Yuhao may be the only eyewitness and victim tonight!
Yan Shaozhe desperately hoped that Huo Yuhao, once awakened, could reveal some information to him, but he also knew that the hope was extremely slim. After all, judging from Huo Yuhao's appearance, he knew that he had been burned unconscious by Ma Xiaotao's flames in a single encounter!

Yan Shaozhe raised Ma Xiaotao single-handedly. He had no children of his own and always treated Ma Xiaotao as his daughter. Now that Ma Xiaotao has suddenly disappeared, how could he not be worried?
Beside him stood a beautiful woman with a similarly worried expression. She was Cai Meier, the vice dean of the Martial Soul Department at Shrek Academy and Yan Shaozhe's wife.

Yan Shaozhe treats Ma Xiaotao as his own daughter, and Cai Meier, as his wife, also treats Ma Xiaotao as her own daughter!

Now that Ma Xiaotao has disappeared from the academy without warning, the two are filled with endless worry.

If Ma Xiaotao were still conscious, it would be fine; even if she ran far away, she could still take care of herself. But now she is being corrupted by evil fire, is in a state of madness, and has suddenly disappeared, which is truly worrying!

Ma Xiaotao was cultivating in a secret chamber of the Sea God Pavilion when she suffered a qi deviation and escaped. The elders guarding her immediately followed her after discovering her disappearance.

However, Ma Xiaotao's phoenix flight speed was too fast, and the elders did not discover it immediately. By the time they arrived at the scene of the crime, which was the place where Huo Yuhao was unconscious, Ma Xiaotao had already disappeared without a trace!
Several elders immediately reported to Yan Shaozhe, who scanned the entire academy with his spiritual power but found no trace of Ma Xiaotao. Unwilling to give up, he went to the guard room of the Shrek Academy freshman dormitory and found his teacher, Dragon God Douluo Mu En!

As Mu En's grand-disciple, Ma Xiaotao was naturally highly valued by him. However, even after scanning the entire academy with his divine sense, he could not detect the slightest trace of Ma Xiaotao's presence.

Even after scanning the entire Shrek City using the Light of the Sea God linked to the Golden Tree, they found no trace of it. Only then did they realize that something terrible had happened!
Given Ma Xiaotao's strength, it would be impossible for her to fly away from Shrek City's area in such a short time.

Moreover, among the guards of Shrek City, there were even Title Douluo-level beings, but they found no clues whatsoever. In other words, Ma Xiaotao had never left Shrek City, or even Shrek Academy!
The place where her aura disappeared was on the edge of this Sea God Lake, in the area where Huo Yuhao was injured!
The importance that Yan Shaozhe and Mu En placed on Ma Xiaotao was evident. The entire Shrek Academy was thrown into chaos, with all the high-ranking teachers, inner court students, and Shrek Academy's city defense forces conducting a thorough search of the Sea God Lake area!
Unfortunately, we haven't gained anything so far!

The only breakthrough is the unconscious first-year student on the ground!
Within this short period of time, all of Huo Yuhao's information had already appeared in Yan Shaozhe's hands!
"The special recruit of the Tang Sect, a freshman who just enrolled, Bei Bei, Xuan Shui Dan..." Yan Shaozhe muttered to himself as he looked at the unconscious Huo Yuhao. A burly figure next to him chimed in, "This little guy, after receiving the Xuan Shui Dan from Bei Bei, probably knew about the side effects of taking it, so he came to the edge of Sea God Lake to cultivate, but unexpectedly encountered Xiao Tao who had gone into qi deviation!"

“Shao Zhe, this matter should have nothing to do with him. Xiao Tao has already been moved out of Shrek City by a powerful figure using great methods. If he were an accomplice, he would definitely have taken him away.”

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe's expression became even more solemn. "I know that someone who can use spatial techniques right under the teacher's nose must be no less powerful than the teacher. The fact that he didn't kill Xiaotao on the spot but instead let her take him away must mean he has some ulterior motive. So I believe that Xiaotao is safe now."

"But I can't guarantee she'll always be safe, so I hope this freshman named Huo Yuhao can provide me with some useful clues!"

After saying that, Yan Shaozhe turned to the old man in the green robe beside him, his tone slightly respectful, "Elder Zhuang, how is he? Why hasn't he woken up yet after so long!"

The old man, whom Yan Shaozhe called Elder Zhuang, had a golden-green sapling appear in his palm, continuously supplying Huo Yuhao with pure purple energy!
Hearing Yan Shaozhe's words, he shook his head slightly. "It's strange, his soul power is only in the teens, yet he only suffered minor injuries after encountering Xiao Tao. I only used my first soul skill, and his injuries were basically healed!"

Elder Zhuang's martial soul is the Tree of Life martial soul, and his cultivation level is as high as level 97. Repairing Huo Yuhao, a mere level 12 soul master, using soul skills is an overreaction!
Since Elder Zhuang said that Huo Yuhao only suffered minor injuries, but has not yet woken up, it seems that it is not just a simple physical injury!
Sure enough, Old Zhuang's voice rang out again soon after.

"According to the information, this little guy's martial soul is his eyes, called the Spirit Eye. When he encounters danger, he will definitely release his martial soul to defend himself."

Unfortunately, Xiao Tao's cultivation level was five major ranks higher than his, and she was in a state of demonic possession. Therefore, he must have suffered a strong backlash from his martial spirit, which damaged his brain and caused him to fall into a complete coma.

"I've infused him with the purest spiritual energy to repair him, but seeing that he's still in a coma, it seems the treatment isn't working. All we can do now is pray that when he wakes up, he won't become an idiot or a moron!"

After Elder Zhuang finished speaking, everyone present fell silent, because now it wasn't just Xiao Tao who had disappeared; she had also harmed an innocent freshman.
