Yan Shaozhe and Wang Yan carefully tore off the bandages and fed the Nut Cake to Yao Haoxuan and Gongyang Mo.
A miracle happened.
The missing foot on Yao Haoxuan grew back bit by bit. His legs also gradually regained their rosy color. He tentatively moved them and found that everything was fine.
On Gongyang Mo's side, his severed arm had also completely grown back. He stared blankly at his recovered hand, feeling a bit strange—but the hand had truly returned, his Soul Power was flowing through his body again, and he was no longer a cripple.
Yan Shaozhe hurriedly asked, "How is it? Children, are you healed?"
Gongyang Mo stood up, touched his regrown hand, and tried to pick up a water cup—it worked.
He shouted in surprise, "I'm healed! I'm really healed! My hand has grown back!"
Yao Haoxuan also tried stepping on the ground with his bare feet. Wang Yan prepared to go forward to support him, but Xixi had already run over and carefully helped him.
If Yao Haoxuan hadn't blocked the way, she probably would have lost her life in that corpse explosion long ago.
Yao Haoxuan felt the sensation of the ground, his eyes reddened, and his voice trembled with excitement, "That's great... I'm fine! Thank you, Teacher, thank you, classmate Furina!"
Furina waved his hand, "It's nothing, just my duty."
He turned around, looked at Yan Shaozhe, and his expression became serious, "Alright, next we should discuss my conditions."
Yan Shaozhe swallowed hard, bracing himself. He was already wondering if Furina would make an exorbitant demand, asking for a ten thousand years Spirit Bone or a branch of the Golden Ancient Tree or something.
As it turned out, Furina said, "I want to serve as the leader for Shrek's participation in the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Soul Duel Tournament. Also, the main team this time will be Huo Yuhao and his group of seven. Only three of the current Shrek Seven Devils can remain as substitutes."
"What?!" Yan Shaozhe was so shocked he almost stood up from his chair, "How can this be?!"
Elder Xuan also frowned and said sternly, "This will not do! This concerns the ten thousand years of honor of our Shrek! Huo Yuhao and the others certainly have good Talents, but having them participate in the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Soul Duel Tournament now... is still too early."
His tone was unquestionable, "The teams in the beginning might be relatively weak, but the further we go, the stronger the opponents will be. Especially the Sun Moon Empire's team; they are all powerhouses at the Spirit King level and are all Level 5 Soul Engineers, and their spirit tool equipment is much stronger than ours. How are we supposed to fight that?"
"And if we only keep three official members, the situation will become more difficult the further we go, and it will be easier for the enemy to figure out our strength and tactics. This concerns the honor of Shrek, it absolutely cannot be treated as a game!"
Furina picked his ear, his expression a bit impatient.
Shrek was indeed always obsessed with so-called honor, especially Elder Xuan, who was still clinging to that bit of Face even now.
"Of course I know these things," Furina said in a calm tone, "But I believe you should have confidence in Huo Yuhao and the others."
He paused, his voice rising a few notches, "Besides, what qualifications do you think you have to talk to me about 'Shrek's honor'?"
"Huh?"
Elder Xuan, Yan Shaozhe, Wang Yan, and everyone else present were all stunned.
Xiao Xiao chuckled from the side, "What is this? Is this rebellion against heaven and earth?"
Wang Dong was trying hard to hold back his laughter, his shoulders twitching, "Furina really knows how to play."
Huo Yuhao was also confused, "Ah, this..."
Xu Sanshi secretly gave Furina a thumbs up, feeling secretly thrilled inside: Awesome, I didn't pick the wrong person.
Bei Bei had a bitter smile on his Face: This... is really something else.
Jiang Nannan and He Caitou didn't know what to say.
It was the same on Ma Xiaotao's side. Although she had acknowledged Furina as her foster mother and joined the Axis Cult, she hadn't expected the foster mother she recognized to be this brave. At the very least, she didn't think she would dare to talk to Elder Xuan and her own teacher like that.
After all, these two were both Super Douluo, especially Elder Xuan, who was at level 98, just a hair's breadth away from being a Limit Douluo.
But Furina just dared to say it. And he said it in front of everyone, so brave!
Furina continued, "If I hadn't prepared the Nut Cake in advance, along with my seventh Spirit Ability, do you think so many students could be standing here unscathed right now? Just as you said yourselves, at least one would have died."
He turned his head to look at Ma Xiaotao and the others, his gaze sweeping over every Inner Court student, "You seniors, you were careless. You thought that because you had dealt with Evil Soul Masters before, you could underestimate their terror..."
Ma Xiaotao and the others all lowered their heads, their Faces burning. As seniors, they really hadn't set a good example. If they had listened carefully to what Huo Yuhao said back then, the casualties might have been even smaller. Many of them had looked down on the cake Huo Yuhao handed them back then.
Thinking back on it now, if they hadn't eaten that cake, facing the coordination of those two Evil Soul Masters, the damage would likely have been severe.
Furina changed the subject and pointed at Elder Xuan, "And you. As a teacher, I think you are very incompetent. I have already heard from Elder Mu that you could make the same mistake twice."
His tone became increasingly sharp, "As a teacher, you should have been observing carefully from the shadows; you cannot underestimate your opponents just because they are relatively weak. The growth of students is certainly important, but the lives of students are even more important. If they have lost their lives, how can they grow?"
"Elder Xuan, as a level 98 Super Douluo, the strongest beneath a Limit Douluo, how could you still make such a mistake? You should have corrected it at the first opportunity, and if you discovered something was wrong, you should have made preparations in advance. With your strength, using your Soul Power to suppress them, you could completely immobilize your opponents, or even block those explosions directly."
"Now—" He looked around, his gaze finally landing on Elder Xuan and Yan Shaozhe, "What kind of Shrek honor are you still talking to me about? If it weren't for me, if it weren't for Huo Yuhao, how many people do you think would be standing here unscathed right now? And those two, would they be able to have a healthy and complete life?"
The infirmary was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Elder Xuan and Yan Shaozhe opened their mouths, but couldn't say a word.
They couldn't find any words to refute, because it was indeed their fault; this was a fact. Moreover, Yan Shaozhe had just agreed to do something for Furina, so how could he back out?
Just as the situation was deadlocked, an old and steady voice came from the doorway.
"Good, I support doing this."
Everyone turned their heads to look in unison.
Elder Mu sat in a wheelchair, having appeared at the doorway at some unknown time, with Qian Duoduo following behind him.
