Chapter 44

When this guy appeared, the one who was most excited was Black Spider, almost exclaiming: "Kid, I finally waited for you to show up."

Hate, endless hate instantly surged in his heart; he had fallen to this state all because of this kid. Although Black Spider's hatred for Hero Brother was like the surging Huangpu River, he suppressed it well and exchanged a glance with Ground Spider.

Ground Spider curled the corners of his mouth into a curve and transmitted his thoughts: "The target has appeared; Plan A is now in action."

In this class, apart from these two, no one else would be so concerned about this guy.

Hero did not realize that he had been standing in front of the alchemy furnace for half a month without taking a bath. Practicing alchemy was also a form of cultivation, strengthening his internal organs and muscles, so under constant alchemy, his internal energy would repeatedly cleanse his body, continuously expelling old impurities, forming a sticky, ink-black substance on his skin.

When doing great things, one doesn't pay attention to small details, so Hero Brother decisively ignored this minor detail. As for Little Bud, being a life master with a realm reaching superhuman combat body, she had a thousand ways to make herself immune to this stench. She wouldn't warn him, as she wanted this hateful junior brother to be embarrassed. And Old Turtle, being a fellow practitioner with Hero Brother, was already accustomed to this manly smell and similarly did not notice it.

Five seconds later, a fierce roar from the old man in Class 1-5 echoed: "Get out and wash yourself before coming back!"

To force an old man to roar, Hero Brother was indeed very manly.

Hero Brother then ran back to the dormitory with a trembling bottom. Wherever he went, people avoided him, and flies followed, creating a rather extraordinary atmosphere.

When Hero Brother opened the dormitory door, a strong smell of insecticide hit him. He thought he had fallen into a pool of insecticide... Sniffing the smell, he identified the components. This was a special insecticide for killing fleas, and the dosage was so heavy that even fleas as big as rats could be instantly killed.

Hero's mind clicked, and he remembered Old Turtle's masterpiece from twenty days ago. The flea powder Old Turtle sprinkled turned the nearby dormitories into a sea of fleas, with fleas covering the sky and earth overnight, making the students in these dormitories dream of fleas as soon as they closed their eyes.

After several rounds of increased dosage, there was not a single flea left in the entire Tianzhen Academy, and even cockroaches had disappeared.

Those who were so scared by the fleas that they dreamed of them were the ones who had bullied the poor Hero. This could be considered a way to get back at them. Hero then put this matter behind him and took a comfortable hot bath.

The water flowing down his body was completely dirty and black, and it had a stronger sterilizing ability than boiling water at 120 degrees. This bath he took killed a large number of bacteria in the sewer.

Old Turtle lay in bed, reading the latest adult version of the 'Dragon Tiger List' and popping a small yuan dan into his mouth.

It seemed he was treating the small yuan dan like sunflower seeds.

At this moment, Old Turtle suddenly felt a chill down his spine. His bear instincts told him: "A strong enemy is coming!"

Hero was in the shower, humming a tune and wiggling his bottom, when he suddenly heard a turtle call from Old Turtle. This was Old Turtle's weak warning signal.

Hero only had time to wrap a towel around his lower body when a shadow darted through the door crack and appeared outside the shower room. It was a shadow lying on the ground, a shadow without a body.

The shadow knew it had alarmed the person inside and coldly said, "I am Shadow 10. The organization has sent me to confirm where you have been for the past half month."

Hero grinned and thought to himself: "You guys are really fast. I just got back, and you're already here."

Hero took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and it lit up on its own.

After calmly exhaling a puff of smoke, Hero scratched his slightly itchy balls and said, "I don't have time to answer your questions. Where I go is my freedom."

Hero, who dared to provoke even scorpions without limits, had no fear of Shadow 10.

Shadow 10, feeling Hero's disdain, still coldly said, "The organization hopes you don't cause trouble. This time, it will be overlooked. If it happens again, the organization will send enforcers to deal with you."

"Does that mean you're going to control me even when I go out to hunt some game or have a wild fight?" Hero's eyes darted, and he changed the subject, saying, "I don't believe you came all this way just for this trivial matter."

Shadow 10 still coldly said, "The Hua family will fall into internal strife. You need to be prepared. You are looking for a broken stele from ancient times. You will know the secrets within the stele when you find it. Locate the exact position of the stele, and you will activate it. After that, your mission will be complete!"

Shadow 10 handed over a device similar to a compass. It was engraved with a strange emblem, and Hero knew exactly what it was—a star locator, capable of spatial coordinate positioning.

Hero did not take the star locator but said, "Since the main event has arrived, the organization should let me know the current status of the old bandit. I just need to see him to feel at ease. Otherwise, you know what will happen."

One minute later, only Hero and Old Turtle were left in the dormitory. Suddenly, a loud bang came from the shower room. Hero punched the door, sending it flying and embedding it in the opposite wall like a large pancake.

Hero was now very angry, and the soul in the soul emblem began to become agitated.

Finally, he forcibly activated the foundation-building breathing technique. After the internal energy circulated once in his body, Hero's agitated emotions calmed down, and the violent aura disappeared, replaced by a profound stillness.

What is extreme anger followed by extreme calm? Only after extreme anger does the violent aura suddenly become so calm. Shadow 10 only answered him with one sentence before leaving: "You don't have the qualifications to bargain with the organization."

Hero had a very uneasy premonition but could only continue moving forward under this unease. He couldn't risk the old bandit's life for a matter of principle. Although he was very worried about the man's safety, he dared not think of the worst. Now, he was like a gambler, with nothing to lose, so he wasn't afraid of losing everything.

Old Turtle put down the Dragon Tiger List, looked at Hero, and asked, "What do you plan to do now?"

Hero glanced at the star locator in his hand, and suddenly dozens of natural patterns flowed out from the soul emblem into the star locator. After the natural patterns circled the star locator, Hero's eyes became very strange.

He then chuckled and said, "I indeed don't have the qualifications to bargain with those bastards. Let's play with them. Since I consider myself to have nothing to lose, I have nothing to fear."

Old Turtle continued reading his Dragon Tiger List.
