Shang Liang, the master of the Yuntai Sect, failed his ascension after using the remains of an ancient divine dragon to refine a magical artifact, the Dragon Soul Tower, causing his soul to transmi...

Chapter 33 Full of Vigor

Shang Lin immediately pretended that he hadn't seen anything and hurriedly walked towards the dormitory. Unfortunately, once a ghost had his eye on him, there was no way he could escape. It seemed that an invisible force was calling him to the rooftop.

Sighing inwardly, Shang Lin realized that pretending not to see it was no longer an option. Besides, if he didn't deal with it tonight, he didn't know which student would come up to him tomorrow night!

However, before Shang Lin had walked ten meters, someone suddenly patted her on the shoulder, and Meng Zhe's voice immediately came, "Shang Lin, where are you going? That's the girls' dormitory, this is our dormitory."

Shang Lin subconsciously looked up at the rooftop, but there was no sign of the ghost. He looked at Meng Zhe again, but still couldn't make out his face. "It's nothing. It was a bit dark around here, so I couldn't see the way."

Meng Zhe suddenly said in a condescending tone, "You know, your health isn't good to begin with, so it's better not to walk alone at night. What if you fall? With your small frame, even a slight bump or scrape could result in a serious injury."

Shang Lin was taken aback at first, but Meng Zhe's next sentence made him laugh: "I was hungry tonight, so I... By the way, where have you been?"

"Ah, I just got back too. Let's go back to the dorm, it's getting a bit cold tonight."

Shang Lin felt that Meng Zhe wasn't telling the truth, but she didn't press him. Everyone has secrets, right? But is it cold at night? It's only mid-September, isn't it?

The two quickly entered the boys' dormitory building. In the corridor, the boys were releasing their excess energy, playing around and being very energetic. It was definitely better not to see anything!

Just as Shang Lin was about to push open their dormitory door, a classmate from the next dormitory shouted, "Holy crap, what are you guys doing with the Ouija board? It's so scary at night."

Shang Lin's hand, which was about to push the door open, immediately stopped. Young people's curiosity is really extraordinary. With nowhere to release their energy, they might as well play around in the corridor.

Meng Zhe stopped and said to Shang Lin, "You go back first, I'll go see what kind of trouble they're up to this time."

Since they were in the next-door dorm, they were all classmates. Shang Lin didn't say anything and went back to his dorm on his own. When he pushed the door open, Su Jinghang was washing his feet and Lin Shengqi was leaning against the bed reading a book.

Su Jinghang hurriedly asked, "Have you seen Meng Zhe? He just ran out in a hurry, as if he were on fire."

Shang Lin, "..."

Meng Zhe didn't say that just now. Did he rush out to "save" me?!

Seeing that Shang Lin was neither moving nor speaking, Lin Shengqi hurriedly asked, "Shang Lin, what's wrong? Didn't you see Meng Zhe?"

"Ah, it's nothing." Shang Lin immediately came to her senses. "Meng Zhe is next door. They're playing Ouija board in the dorm next door, and they're making a lot of noise."

Su Jinghang's expression changed, and he said angrily, "Are they out of their minds? How can they do anything?"

Shang Lin smiled and said, "Perhaps I'm just too curious."

The usually soft and cuddly Su Jinghang said in a particularly domineering way, "I don't care, we can't play those kinds of silly games in our dorm, or we'll break up."

"What a guy!" Shang Lin immediately assured him, "No, no, I can't even keep up with memorizing vocabulary. If my grades don't improve in the monthly exam, my foreign language teacher will have to tutor me personally, and I don't have the money."

Su Jinghang looked at Shang Lin with great confusion, "Didn't you say someone was tutoring you? Doesn't that cost money?"

Shang Lin nodded seriously, "Yes."

Lin Shengqi said with a hint of envy, "That's great. You're so smart, you'll definitely catch up quickly."

Shang Lin just smiled and didn't say anything, then started making instant noodles.

Meng Zhe returned at this moment, his face looking rather grim. "They're really too idle. We can't let our dorm get involved in such messy things."

Su Jinghang immediately raised both hands in agreement, "We just talked about this, and now that you've said it too, it's unanimously approved."

The instant noodles were quickly prepared, and Shang Lin immediately started eating. Perhaps because he had been using his brain too much lately, his appetite had increased significantly. However, the school cafeteria only served a few dishes over and over again, and there were always times when he didn't know what to eat.

As for eating out, well, Shang Lin's current financial situation doesn't allow it, and besides, there's not much difference between the food at the snack shops outside and the food in the school cafeteria.

Since being saved by Shang Lin, Su Jinghang's relationship with him has become increasingly close. Seeing that he was only eating instant noodles, Su Jinghang took out a dried sausage from his snack bag and handed it to him, saying, "Can you eat this? My mom made it. It's clean, hygienic, and tastes good."

Whenever he talked about his parents, Su Jinghang would unintentionally reveal a sense of pride, but Shang Lin still declined, "Thank you, but no need, it's too late and I'm afraid I won't be able to digest it."

"Yes, you're not in good health, but instant noodles aren't very nutritious either, so you should eat less of them."

Shang Lin immediately laughed, "I don't eat this often, I only ate it tonight because I was hungry."

Meng Zhe suddenly said, "Tomorrow is Friday, I can finally go home for the holidays. The school food was okay the first week, but it was hard to swallow the second week."

Lin Shengqi continued, "I heard that the food in the high school cafeteria is much better, especially in the provincial key high schools."

Su Jinghang smiled and said, "I won't consider the provincial key school. I'll just be happy if I can get into the municipal key school."

Watching the young people enthusiastically discussing their future, Shang Lin suddenly felt that campus life wasn't so bad after all. But when he suddenly opened his eyes in the middle of the night and saw Meng Zhe standing by his bed, staring at him fiercely, he felt really uneasy.

However, Shang Lin did not move, but rolled his eyes to see if Su Jinghang and Lin Shengqi had any accidents. Unfortunately, Meng Zhe did not give him this chance, and stretched out his right hand straight for his throat.

Shang Lin subconsciously raised his hand and grabbed Meng Zhe's wrist. A chill instantly spread from his fingertips. It was definitely not human body temperature. Was he possessed? In that brief moment of distraction, Meng Zhe broke free.

Shang Lin quickly jumped off the bed. How could he possibly have the advantage of standing up when facing an enemy while lying down? Although Meng Zhe was acting strangely, he dared not exert any force, for fear of hurting him. Moreover, this person's condition was most likely related to his rescue of him that night and his dealing with the Ouija board incident in the next dormitory.

At this moment, Meng Zhe was completely devoid of self-awareness. His eyes were red as he lunged at Shang Lin without any strategy, but his ferocity and strength were unusually great, giving him the air of wanting to perish together with him.

The next second, Hu Tangdi and She Jinxing appeared beside Shang Lin. Although they were imprisoned in the Dragon Spirit Tower by Shang Lin, they had a blood pact of service, so they would naturally appear immediately when they sensed that their master was in danger.

Hu Tangdi appeared in a flash, striking Meng Zhe's neck with lightning speed, as if he could snap it the moment he touched it.
