Bab 255: Chapter 255: Don't Fight Each Other
...
When Zeng Yi woke up once again, he found himself in an unfamiliar room.
"Meow!"
Just as Zeng Yi sat up, a silver figure quickly dashed towards him.
"Xiao Ju!"
Zeng Yi instinctively extended his hands, catching Xiao Ju steadily. Looking at its dazed expression, his mind couldn't help but be filled with doubts.
"Zeng Yi! You're awake! That's great!" Ning Rongrong was sleeping next to Zeng Yi's bed and woke up when she heard Xiao Ju's movement. Seeing Zeng Yi sitting up, her emotions instantly became extremely excited, and she hugged him tightly.
"This is great! I thought you wouldn't be able to hold on anymore. It's really great!" Ning Rongrong said, tears streaming down her cheeks uncontrollably.
Being hugged by Ning Rongrong, Zeng Yi didn't dare to move. He wasn't wearing a shirt on his upper body, only some bandages wrapped around him. His body was in close contact with Ning Rongrong, and he could feel her warm body temperature and the unique scent of a young girl. This made Zeng Yi's heart beat faster, and his blood started to surge.
This girl is so bold! She's blatantly taking advantage of me. Zeng Yi couldn't help but mutter to himself internally. But considering she is just a thirteen-year-old child, he reluctantly let her act spoiled on him. After all, he was her Martial uncle!
However, this girl was quite unreserved. She didn't show any restraint in fooling around with him. Zeng Yi still clearly remembered the excruciating death-like shaking he experienced at the hands of Liu Erlong when he was severely injured.
But something is wrong. Zeng Yi, looking at Ning Rongrong crying in his arms and opening her mouth to say something, realized that he couldn't hear a single sound.
This is a big problem!
Zeng Yi was stunned. Was he deaf?
Ning Rongrong, after venting her emotions for a while, suddenly realized that something was wrong. She had hugged Zeng Yi, and a sense of embarrassment washed over her. Her cheeks flushed red.
"Sorry, I got a little too excited." Ning Rongrong immediately let go of her hands, wiped her teary eyes, and spoke with a sobbing tone.
Adjusting her own emotions, Ning Rongrong noticed that Zeng Yi had a dazed expression and was sitting on the bed silently, which seemed strange.
Ning Rongrong couldn't help but worry. Was Zeng Yi disabled mentally by Teacher Liu Erlong? If he had been seriously injured, there might be hidden consequences.
"Zeng Yi, what's wrong with you?" Ning Rongrong asked softly.
"I can't hear anything."
Zeng Yi turned his head, looking at Ning Rongrong with a vacant gaze.
"Ah!" Ning Rongrong couldn't help but gasp, covering her mouth with her palm. Her watery eyes widened in disbelief.
Soon, Ning Rongrong told the others the good news of Zeng Yi's awakening. However, their joy didn't last long as Ning Rongrong conveyed bad news about Zeng Yi's loss of hearing.
Everyone quickly gathered in Zeng Yi's room, but their faces didn't show any signs of happiness upon hearing about Zeng Yi's awakening. Instead, they appeared gloomy, and the atmosphere in the room became oppressive.
Looking at their lifeless expressions, Zeng Yi couldn't help but smile and said, "What's wrong with all of you? Are you wearing such long faces to bid me farewell?"
"At a time like this, you're still in the mood for jokes?" Zhu Zhuqing retorted to Zeng Yi, her resentment towards Teacher Liu Erlong surging within her. If it weren't for Liu Erlong's heavy-handedness, Zeng Yi wouldn't have ended up like this, losing his hearing. This would undoubtedly have a significant impact on his life.
Not only that, losing his hearing posed a great hazard to Zeng Yi's abilities.
She also learned that Zeng Yi fought Liu Erlong because he wanted to graduate from Shrek Academy. During Zeng Yi's coma, Flender had already explained the reasons to them. Although Zhu Zhuqing was dissatisfied with Zeng Yi not informing her about his graduation, she was even more displeased with Flender and the others severely injuring Zeng Yi so he couldn't graduate yet.
Who would have thought of having a battle between a Soul Ancestor and a Soul Saint? They had underestimated it.
Flender unintentionally discovered Zhu Zhuqing staring at him with cold eyes, feeling uncomfortable and guilty.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the smiling Zeng Yi, who seemed unaffected, and her mood sank. She knew very well how losing hearing would greatly affect himself, but why could he maintain such an optimistic attitude?
"Since you can't hear anything, why am I saying all this?" Zhu Zhuqing muttered, sounding more like sulking.
After a while, the door to the room opened, and two women walked in. One of them was Liu Erlong, while the other was a beautiful girl wearing Shrek Academy's uniform.
As Liu Erlong entered the room, everyone's eyes focused on her, including a few angry gazes, which made her feel embarrassed.
The reason behind all this was because she had severely injured Zeng Yi. It took her months to repair the relationships she had built with these people, and now it all collapsed in an instant.
Apologizing sincerely, Liu Erlong bowed slightly to Zeng Yi, then turned to the girl with her and said, "Jiang Zhu, take a look at Zeng Yi and see if you can treat his ears."
After speaking, Liu Erlong humbly stepped aside.
Jiang Zhu, the girl, nodded and looked at Zeng Yi, her eyes filled with admiration.
Due to Zeng Yi's spectacular battle with Liu Erlong a few days ago, his name became known throughout the academy. With just his Soul Ancestor-level power, he achieved such an astonishing result against the deputy academy director, a Soul Saint. It dumbfounded all onlookers. Furthermore, his soul rings' unconventional configuration subverted their understanding of the world.
In just one day, Zeng Yi's status among the students skyrocketed, surpassing Dai Mubai and becoming the leader of Shrek Academy. It wasn't just about his strength but also his appearance.
Within a short period, there already existed a fan club for Zeng Yi in the academy.
Jiang Zhu was the president of this fan club and an elite student specialized in healing within Shrek Academy. She was the one who saved Zeng Yi from the brink of death when he was severely injured.
Treating her idol's injuries again, Jiang Zhu couldn't help but feel excited.
"Spirit, manifest!"
A gentle emerald green soul power emanated from Jiang Zhu, illuminating the entire room with its vibrant vitality. A staff over one meter long appeared in her hand, surrounded by two yellow and one purple soul rings as they floated and flickered around her body.
Under the dazzling radiance, together with the soul power full of vitality, Jiang Zhu resembled a goddess of life, her gentle aura pervading the entire room.
"Healing Light!"
Jiang Zhu lightly waved her staff, and the millennial soul rings flickered. A green halo suddenly spread from her, instantly covering the entire room.
In an instant, Zeng Yi's body was surrounded by a layer of emerald green light. Zeng Yi felt as if he was enveloped by a spring breeze, sensing the fragrant scent of flowers and plants. His body felt warm, as if bathing in the spring sun, and the surging vitality poured into his body, causing every single cell to rejoice.
Soon, the light dissipated.
Ning Rongrong hurriedly asked, "How is it? Can you hear sounds now?"
Others also looked at Zeng Yi with hopeful expressions, hoping to hear a positive answer.
However, Zeng Yi shook his head.
Upon seeing Zeng Yi's headshake, everyone's faces instantly fell, resembling deflated balloons.
"How could this happen?" Zhu Zhuqing murmured with a despondent expression, a sense of despair evident in her eyes.
"Sorry, I was useless." Jiang Zhu showed a hint of apology, realizing that her soul skill didn't work.
Liu Erlong shook her head and said, "It's not your fault. It's all my mistake. If it weren't for me, Zeng Yi wouldn't have ended up like this." Liu Erlong's face was filled with self-blame, and her fists clenched involuntarily.
If only she hadn't used that Soundwave Martial Soul skill. If only she hadn't resisted, her dragonized body could have withstood his attack without any significant problems. Liu Erlong berated herself for her lack of restraint.
With eyes full of apology, Liu Erlong looked at Zeng Yi and said, "I'm sorry."
"What's the point of saying sorry now?" It wasn't Zeng Yi who spoke, but Zhu Zhuqing. At this moment, she clenched her fists, her gaze fixed on Liu Erlong, blood dripping from her tightly gripped fingers.
Under Zhu Zhuqing's piercing gaze, Liu Erlong didn't dare to meet her eyes and lowered her head in guilt. The others, including Grandmaster and Flender, didn't speak up in Liu Erlong's defense. After all, this was indeed her mistake, and even though the two were Liu Erlong's closest friends, they couldn't say anything for her.
The room's atmosphere became suffocating, making Jiang Zhu feel extremely awkward. She wanted to turn around and escape, but since the academy director hadn't spoken, she didn't dare to move.
Zeng Yi felt the same way and was uncomfortable with the atmosphere before him. Although he couldn't hear what they were saying, he could read something from their expressions.
Zeng Yi smiled and said, "Teacher Liu Erlong, you don't need to feel guilty. Ultimately, it's because of my own lack of strength that I ended up like this. Moreover, it's just lost hearing; it's not like I lost an arm or a leg. It won't hinder my daily activities."
Hearing Zeng Yi's words, Liu Erlong felt even more guilty.
"Alright, the main problem now is how to treat Zeng Yi's hearing." At this moment, Grandmaster spoke up.
"Do you have any solutions?" Ning Rongrong couldn't help asking. As the most knowledgeable one among them, she believed that Grandmaster must have a solution, right?
Grandmaster pondered for a while, his eyes brightening up. He turned to Ning Rongrong and said, "Rongrong, didn't you tell us about the terrifying ability of the Nine Heart Flowering Apple? No matter how severe the injuries are, as long as there is a trace of life left in their body, they can recover them. An advanced Nine Heart Flowering Apple can even regenerate bones from ashes."
"Yes, what about it?"
"You mentioned that the Nine Heart Flowering Apple is a healer, right? Their abilities are incredibly powerful. Perhaps a Nine Heart Flowering Apple can cure Zeng Yi's hearing."
