Chapter 295 Are you from the Spirit Pagoda?
Huo Yuhao had already realized that he was in an illusion.
Therefore, the Gu Yue and Tang Wulin shown by this Nightmare Demon are naturally illusions within the illusion, and cannot possibly be real.
He wouldn't be led by the nose by such low-level tactics.
Furthermore, Devil's Island is Shrek Academy's millennia-old military training ground, not the Holy Spirit Cult's torture chamber.
If the kind of sordid things the Nightmare Demon described really happened here, all the previous trainees who participated in the military training would have already gone wild.
Among them were many who later became elders or even the head of the Sea God Pavilion. If they had suffered such humiliation, would Devil Island still exist peacefully to this day?
Therefore, Huo Yuhao could almost conclude that everything Nightmare Demon was doing at this moment was, to put it nicely, a test, and to put it bluntly, a scare tactic.
This is probably just one part of military training used to temper one's mind.
However, he didn't like this approach at all.
Seeing that his methods seemed unable to control Huo Yuhao, the old demon of nightmares finally lost his smile. His expression became even more gloomy, and his voice carried a naked threat, as if he were giving Huo Yuhao an ultimatum.
"You really don't care? Then I'm going to take action."
"6
"You'll regret it after I've done it."
Huo Yuhao finally frowned. Even though he knew that everything in front of him was fake, he still didn't want to see that scene appear before his eyes.
This has nothing to do with whether it's true or false, it's about the bottom line.
He raised his eyes, and the gaze he gave the Nightmare Demon was no longer as calm and indifferent as before, but rather had a cold and sharp edge.
He went straight to the point and said, "Senior, there's no need to scare me anymore. These are just illusions. I knew that from the beginning."
Upon hearing this, Nightmare's eyes flashed with undisguised surprise. Her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something but then swallowed it back.
He clearly wasn't going to admit that his methods had been seen through, but Huo Yuhao didn't give him a chance to argue.
"These petty tricks won't have any training effect on me," Huo Yuhao said calmly. "So, senior, you should give up."
After saying that, Huo Yuhao no longer held back.
His spiritual power, comparable to that of a Super Douluo, erupted without reservation at this moment.
The immense spiritual power transformed into a tangible gale, raging fiercely in all directions from his center.
The powerful mental storm roared and raged in this illusory space personally constructed by the Nightmare Demon, distorting and shattering everything in its path—the sky, the earth, the flowers and grass.
Like a mirror shattered by a heavy hammer, it crumbled into pieces.
Nightmare Demon's expression changed again, even more shocked than before.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but before his voice could even escape, the illusion he had created and controlled collapsed with a series of crisp cracking sounds, turning into countless tiny specks of light that vanished into nothingness.
As the illusion shattered, the Nightmare Demon reappeared in the valley outside.
His steps were unsteady, and a hint of disbelief lingered on his wrinkled old face.
Po Mie, who was standing to the side, had seen everything that had just happened in the illusion. He was also shocked and unconsciously tightened his grip on the purplish-black cane.
Huo Yuhao then stood up from the grass, his movements unhurried. He first patted the grass clippings off his clothes before raising his head and looking calmly at the two old devils opposite him.
Nightmare's aged face was suddenly stained with a mixture of emotions: embarrassment, shock, and resentment, all of which played out on his deeply lined face before finally settling into an expression of unbelievable horror.
He took a deep breath, raised his finger and pointed it at Huo Yuhao, his fingertip trembling slightly, his voice trembling with shock: "Your spiritual power—it's actually reached the Spirit Domain Realm?!"
Huo Yuhao dared to take such a risk because he had something to rely on; his spiritual power, which had already reached the Spirit Realm, was his greatest source of confidence.
Even if he misjudged the situation and something unexpected happened, he still had the demigod-level powerhouse Electrox in his spiritual sea to oversee things.
Therefore, his previous composure and toughness were not the result of youthful impulsiveness, but rather the calmness of someone who had already secured an invincible position.
Huo Yuhao glanced around, looking at the dreams of his other companions, and thought to himself that his previous judgment was indeed correct.
He then turned his gaze back to the two old demons opposite him: "Such an illusion can indeed serve to temper one's mind, but I do not agree with the method you used just now. Tempering one's mind does not mean trampling on the bottom line."
Nightmare opened his mouth, but his dream-entering technique had been broken by a fourteen-year-old boy, and now he didn't have much confidence to refute it.
Nightmare didn't say anything, but Destruction stepped forward with a somber face.
He slammed his cane heavily on the ground, making a dull thud, and a genuine chill crept onto his wrinkled old face: "Boy, your talent is indeed beyond our imagination. I have to admit it even after living for over a thousand years."
"But remember this: you still have no right to be arrogant here. We don't care about your Shrek affiliation."
Huo Yuhao instinctively replied, "I don't care. After leaving Devil Island this time, I will officially leave the academy."
.
Po Mie was stunned by his words. He narrowed his eyes and asked suspiciously, "Kid, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by leaving the academy?"
Huo Yuhao met his gaze frankly and answered without hesitation, "It means exactly what it says. I am a member of the Spirit Pagoda."
Ge Meng, who had been standing there dumbfounded for a while, suddenly leaned over and raised his voice: "You're from the Spirit Pagoda?!"
,
He had always thought Huo Yuhao was a peerless genius nurtured by Shrek Academy with all its might, but this kid actually claimed to be from the Spirit Pagoda? Yun Ming actually agreed to let someone from the Spirit Pagoda go to Devil Island for training?!
Huo Yuhao disdained to lie about such things, and he briefly explained the whole story in a few words.
How did they defeat the Shrek Academy team? How did Cai Yue'er, the dean of Shrek's outer academy, threaten them? And how did Shrek Academy finally compromise?
After hearing these words, the expressions on the faces of Destruction and Nightmare were incredibly varied.
After a long silence, Nightmare finally murmured, "How did the academy become like this?"
As one of the Shrek Seven Devils from 0 years ago, Nightmare Demon always harbored a flame of pride burning in his heart.
That was something etched into his bones when he fought alongside his companions in his youth, representing the academy in battles across the continent, and it has never been extinguished even after a thousand years of wind and rain.
This made it impossible for him to accept Shrek's failure, and even more unacceptable to send the Spirit Pagoda members to Devil's Island after the defeat!
Nightmare slowly turned her head, and when she looked at Huo Yuhao again, there was a hint of real coldness in her aged eyes.
He certainly wouldn't commit murder here to silence witnesses, but he had already made the decision in his heart to no longer hold back.
Nightmare looked at Huo Yuhao, his voice dark and cold: "Boy from the Spirit Pagoda, today I'll show you the strength of Shrek Academy."
"Even if you have the spiritual power of the Spirit Realm, you can't escape my dream."
"Didn't you think those were just petty tricks? Well this time, I'll show you what a real nightmare is."
As soon as he finished speaking, Nightmare didn't hesitate for a moment. He pushed off the ground with both feet and shot into the sky like an arrow.
His black clothes fluttered in the purplish-black light, and he looked down at Huo Yuhao from his high vantage point, suspended in mid-air.
He had already made up his mind to drag this kid into the deepest nightmare, to let him experience what true despair is.
He suddenly roared to the sky, and the purplish-black pillar of light that had shot into the sky in the center of the distant valley suddenly trembled violently. Then a thick purplish-black beam of light shot down from the pillar and precisely entered Meng's body.
The moment the light entered his body, Nightmare's aura changed abruptly. The purplish-black light surrounding him was so intense that it almost solidified, and his figure seemed to grow taller.
Huo Yuhao's pupils contracted slightly. He could clearly feel that Nightmare's aura was rising at an alarming rate.
Originally, although his spiritual power was profound, it was roughly equivalent to the level of a level 95 Super Douluo, at most on par with Huo Yuhao's spiritual domain spiritual power.
However, with the injection of that purplish-black light, Nightmare's spiritual power exploded like a powder keg that had been lit, and surged forward all the way, breaking through several levels in an instant, directly reaching the edge of the peak of the Spirit Realm, and even showing signs of touching the next major realm.
The mental pressure was like a tangible mountain, crushing down from mid-air, making Huo Yuhao feel real pressure for the first time on this island.
Destruction, below, stamped his feet in frustration and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Nightmare, are you insane! This power cannot be used casually!"
The nightmare hovered in mid-air, its aged face appearing slightly younger under the infusion of the purplish-black power, but its expression also became increasingly ferocious.
He turned his head and roared in the direction of the ruins, "I'm not crazy! The Shrek academy descendants have disgraced themselves, and today I, a senior from over a thousand years ago, will help them get revenge!"
"This kid looks down on Shrek Academy's methods, doesn't he? I'll teach him a lesson—Shrek's stuff isn't something anyone can just take for free!"
Upon hearing this, Po Mie opened his mouth, but ultimately swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue, turning them into a silent sigh.
He said that his dream was impulsive, but if he asked himself honestly, didn't he want to do it too?
For some, the glory of Shrek Academy is more precious than life itself!
