Chapter 85 Conflict Resumes
"Ha~" Huo Yuhao yawned, ending his daily Purple Demon Eye training.
It's been a month since I last practiced the Purple Demon Eye technique, and I really miss that comfortable feeling of my eyes being nourished.
Looking at Wang Dong, who was still fast asleep, a hint of doubt flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes—
She's Tang San's daughter, how come she doesn't even practice Tang Sect techniques?
It was understandable that he didn't learn it before, maybe Tang San didn't teach him or his related memories were sealed. But now that he's been in the Tang Sect for so long, we still haven't seen Wang Dong practice the Tang Sect's ultimate techniques.
Huo Yuhao shook his head, banishing the doubts from his mind, and got up to wake Wang Dong.
Today is the grade-level assessment day, so I need to get to the classroom early to report. Of course, the most important thing right now is to get to lunch.
As soon as they stepped out of the dormitory, Bei Bei, Tang Ya, and Xiao Xiao, who were unaware that Huo Yuhao had already returned, were already waiting at the dormitory gate.
It was obvious they were looking for Wang Dong, and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong come down together.
Having not had a proper meal for a month, Huo Yuhao went to the cafeteria for a big meal, devouring dozens of breakfasts while Wang Dong stared in disbelief.
Huo Yuhao then stroked his bulging belly with a satisfied expression and leisurely walked towards the classroom of Class 1, Grade 2.
As he was walking forward, he ran into Dai Huabin and his two companions, instantly extinguishing Huo Yuhao's pleasant mood.
Dai Huabin looked much taller, and his originally cold and hard expression seemed to have become more gloomy.
During the midterm exams of the previous school year, when the freshmen class was competing for the team showcase, he and Zhu Lu originally planned to use their martial soul fusion technique to defeat Huo Yuhao and his team in one fell swoop, in order to obtain the qualification of captain of the midterm exam team.
As a result, their martial spirits seemed to have gone dormant, showing no signs of fusion. In their daze, they were inexplicably eliminated by Wang Dong.
Afterwards, they tried several times to use the Martial Soul Fusion Technique but failed each time, and had no choice but to ask their teachers at the academy for help.
As a result, the college teachers didn't understand either, and they sought help from higher levels, which only made the matter escalate and eventually alarmed Dean Yan Shaozhe.
The final result of the examination was that the compatibility between the two martial souls had decreased for unknown reasons and was no longer sufficient to continue the fusion. No one had ever experienced the martial soul compatibility decreasing inexplicably before, and the teachers racked their brains but could not come up with a reasonable solution.
The news eventually reached the clan, and Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu were summoned back to the clan overnight. Even Duke Baihu, who had been stationed at the border, was alarmed and rushed home to discuss a solution with the clan elders, causing another uproar.
The end result was that Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu not only lost their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but the resources provided by their families also decreased significantly. If it weren't for Dai Huabin's achievement of reaching the third ring at the age of twelve, he might have already fallen off the list of people the family was focusing on cultivating.
Zhu Lu was even more wronged. Many people in the family believed that the reason for the decline in their martial soul compatibility was that she had been slapped by Dai Huabin and harbored resentment.
During this period, she felt a lot of pressure from her family. Different people were constantly trying to persuade her. If Dai Huabin hadn't been on her side, she would have collapsed long ago.
Returning to Shrek Academy and seeing the culprit behind everything, she naturally vented all the pent-up frustration she had endured. (Although she didn't initially believe the failure of her spirit fusion technique was the reason for her resentment, her family's repeated insistence made her believe it.)
As the saying goes, enemies are especially hostile when they meet. A cold glint flashed in Zhu Lu's eyes, and she said with a sarcastic expression:
"Hey, isn't this Huo Yuhao? You're here for class too? Wait a minute! I heard you didn't report yesterday. Did you come to the wrong place? Or do you not know the academy's rules? Students who are late for registration will be expelled."
"What does this have to do with you?"
Huo Yuhao smiled calmly, seemingly not taking Zhu Lu's words seriously at all.
Zhu Lu frowned slightly, seemingly surprised that Huo Yuhao didn't seem to care about being expelled at all.
"Of course it concerns me. As a member of Shrek Academy, I naturally have to uphold the academy's rules. This is not a place for you, get out now."
Wang Dong scoffed, "Who do you think you are? You think you can uphold the academy's rules? With your status as a core disciple? Without a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, how could someone who can't even defeat a first-ring opponent be qualified to be a core disciple?"
The fact that Dai Huabin and his classmates didn't have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill caused quite a stir, even leading to them taking a six-month leave of absence from school. It was practically common knowledge. Now that the two sides had completely fallen out, Wang Dong naturally didn't hold back in reopening old wounds.
Dai Huabin's eyes flashed with rage. He had been hit where it hurt. He snorted coldly, "You're asking for death." He took a step forward and slapped Wang Dong with his palm.
Just then, a ball of black light suddenly appeared, separating the two sides; it was Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron.
Although Xiao Xiao hadn't said anything, she was worried that the two would start arguing and was ready to unleash her martial spirit at any moment.
Just as Dai Huabin was about to strike the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron with his palm, Huo Yuhao suddenly raised his right hand and grabbed Dai Huabin's wrist, blocking the strike.
Dai Huabin was stunned, never expecting that his palm strike would be blocked by Huo Yuhao, who had the weakest cultivation level.
Keep in mind that he is a three-ring Soul Master! Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, has only just broken through to the second ring.
Most importantly, when he tried to pull his right hand out of Huo Yuhao's grip, he found that his right hand was firmly held in place and he could not move it at all.
Is this power... really something a Great Soul Master could normally possess?
Dai Huabin's gaze toward Huo Yuhao became more serious.
It should be noted that Huo Yuhao's physical condition was already sufficient to withstand a 4,500-year-old spirit ring before he absorbed his second spirit ring. Many people's four-ring lifespan is not necessarily as long as Huo Yuhao's two-ring lifespan.
With Dai Huabin's soul ring configuration, his third soul ring will not last more than three thousand years. Huo Yuhao's current physical strength is already enough to rival a power-attack type soul master!
"Dai Huabin, if you want to fight, we're always ready to serve in the Fighting Arena. This is a teaching building; you know the school rules."
With that, Huo Yuhao flicked his right hand, releasing Dai Huabin's grip. The force sent Dai Huabin staggering back several steps.
After a brief moment of surprise, Dai Huabin quickly regained his composure, his face grim as he said, "Huo Yuhao, there's no need to wait until the Soul Battle Zone. The upgrade assessment is about to begin. Want to take a gamble?"
Even if Huo Yuhao's physical attributes are enough to rival his, what good is it? Without the enhancement of martial soul and soul skills, it's ultimately just for show! Dai Huabin is confident that with his White Tiger martial soul, he can crush Huo Yuhao without any difficulty.
"What are you betting on? And what are the stakes?"
Dai Huabin said in a deep voice, "I'll bet on the performance of the three of you and the three of us in the upgrade assessment."
Dai Huabin said in a deep voice, "Let's bet on the performance of the three of you and the three of us in the upgrade assessment. As for the stakes... if you lose, I want the rewards you won during the freshman assessment."
