Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 103 Kneeling
"Hey...did you hear? They were participating in the Soul Master Competition while they were missing..."

"Really? Isn't the competition still a while away? Why are they back so early?"

"Is that even a question? Of course we lost!"

"what?"

……

Throughout the journey, even as Ning Tian entered the cafeteria, similar conversations continued to repeat themselves.

Within just a few days, these discussions escalated from whispers to open pointing fingers and even deliberate fault-finding.

"Our participation in the competition should have been kept secret."

Wu Feng carefully shielded Ning Tian, ​​unable to suppress his gritted teeth: "It must be the same as the day we came back; it's those bastards from the inner courtyard causing trouble!"

Even if they figured out who was behind it, they had no way to solve the problem.

Insufficient strength.

If the two of them were to wield the power of a six-ring Soul Emperor, they could easily storm into the inner courtyard, drag those people out, and give them a sound beating.

Unfortunately, they can't even defeat a fourth-ring Soul Master right now, so they don't have the power to solve the problem.

"ah?"

An annoying guy stepped out from the crowd, looking down at the two with a mocking gaze: "Looks like you played really well in the match~ You're back so early."

"Dai Huabin!"

Wu Feng's expression turned ugly: "What do you want to do?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to meet our new generation... Shrek Seven Devils!"

Dai Huabin's eyes flickered, and he emphasized the words "Seven Freaks" with particular force, clearly still resentful about not being selected for the reserve team.

He prided himself on being a genius who surpassed his older brother, yet Dai Yueheng got two chances to participate, while he was eliminated the first time.

unwilling.

This was the only underlying truth in Dai Huabin's heart: he couldn't accept that he couldn't even compare to his older brother, who was only a few years older than him.

He couldn't accept that Wu Feng, a girl whose cultivation was much weaker than his, could overshadow him.

"you!"

Faced with this blatantly provocative attitude, Wu Feng instantly flew into a rage, but just as she was about to make a move, Ning Tian pulled her back.

"Want to see the Seven Devils? Now that you've seen them, can you make way?"

Ning Tian spoke to Dai in a deep voice, really not wanting to get into a conflict with him at the entrance of the cafeteria.

"Tch...that won't work."

Dai Huabin sneered, and under Ning Tian's increasingly angry gaze, he pressed his advantage: "Didn't your captain say that anyone qualified to participate can challenge your new generation of Seven Devils at will, and whoever wins can take their place!"

"Now you should understand what I mean. Zhu Lu and I are challenging the two of you. If you lose, you'll have to hand over your positions obediently... Do you dare!"

"Dai Huabin! Don't go too far!"

Wu Feng could no longer bear it.

challenge?

He and Zhu Lu?

These two guys, who possess martial soul fusion skills, can unleash attacks comparable to a Soul King; how could she and Ning Tian possibly withstand them?

Making such a challenge in public is undoubtedly forcing them to make a fool of themselves.

"So it seems you don't dare—"

Dai Huabin had a rather arrogant attitude, but just as he was halfway through his sentence, a familiar voice, which he didn't want to hear, suddenly interrupted their conversation:
"long time no see!"

Huo Yuhao pulled the somewhat haggard Xiao Xiao closer step by step, his face bearing a cheerful smile that made Dai Huabin's heart skip a beat.

"you…"

He had barely uttered a single word when Huo Yuhao moved closer with boundless enthusiasm, his slightly heterochromatic eyes meeting his gaze.

In an instant, the world spun, and I lost sensation in my limbs. Mental interference!

Completely defenseless, Dai Huabin was hit squarely and collapsed as if his bones had been removed. However, Huo Yuhao grabbed his wrist and half-pulled him down, causing him to kneel on the ground in front of the group.

Instantly, the attention of the onlookers shifted to the rare scene of Young Master Dai making a fool of himself in public.

After all, this guy's status is ridiculously high. He's the top freshman in cultivation, the son of the White Tiger Duke, possesses a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and is also the freshman champion and core disciple...

With so many titles and labels, he is already the third most famous person in the School of Foreign Languages.

"Hua Bin? Are you alright?"

When Dai Huabin finally managed to shake off the effects, he vaguely saw Huo Yuhao with his head down, holding his arm with a concerned expression: "Do you need me to take you to the infirmary?"

"you!"

Dai Huabin instantly sobered up and gritted his teeth.

"Well…"

As always, Huo Yuhao took the initiative. Before the young master could utter a single curse, Huo Yuhao twisted his wrist and pressed down, pinning the body back down as it was about to leap up.

Dai Huabin's voice, which was stuck in his throat, was naturally pushed back by a sharp pain, stuck in his trachea, and only shock surged in his eyes.

'What kind of trick is this?!'

Simply by grasping his arm, he felt as if his whole body was being twisted and pressed down by a strange force, pinned to the ground and unable to break free. Even the meridians in his arm were partially suppressed by the other party's fingers, making it impossible for him to smoothly mobilize his soul power.

"Well, it seems this student doesn't want to talk to us common folk..."

Huo Yuhao twitched his fingers slightly, pressing several wisps of soul power into his meridians, briefly sealing his body. His smile remained unchanged: "Then let's go! Don't waste Young Master Dai's time."

"Ah."

Ning Tian looked at Huo Yuhao with a strange look in his eyes, but his view was then intentionally or unintentionally blocked by Xiao Xiao who followed, and his steps were blocked by Wu Feng who was focused on blocking his way.

A familiar scene.

"……hehe."

Ning Tian chuckled listlessly, her eyes vacant, and obediently let Wu Feng hold her hand.

"Tsk...!"

As the others left, Dai Shao, unable to move, could only kneel alone in front of the cafeteria, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at all the students who had come to eat.

five minutes.

To regain his mobility, he would need at least five minutes to clear the blockages in his meridians and acupoints.

During this period, he had to kneel on the knees of at least a hundred people.

In the last freshman competition finals, Dai Huabin had already lost face in front of all the teachers, and this time, it was the students' turn to be the audience.

"It's so miserable."

Xiao Xiao clicked her tongue in surprise and couldn't help but look back at the doorway.

Is it tragic?

Huo Yuhao curled the corners of his lips, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

He vividly remembered the entire process of Dai Huabin forcing him to kneel, humiliating him like a slave...

Think about this.

Stop.

Turn around.

"Yuhao? Where are you going?"

Xiao Xiao turned around in surprise and looked at Huo Yuhao, who suddenly turned and walked out: "Aren't you going to eat?"

"Make me one first."

Huo Yuhao turned around with a bright smile: "I'll give him a little more time."
