Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 105 Showing Off Heroism

"Who is this…"

After a brief exchange, Dai Yueheng's gaze turned to Huo Yuhao, who was standing below the stage.

If he guessed correctly, those two crucial invincible shields were thrown out by this person.

only……

From the moment he stepped onto the stage, he sensed a cold, hostile gaze watching him intently, lingering for a long time, yet he couldn't discern its source.

At first, he thought it was some kind of illusion.

In retrospect, it was simply because the little guy in front of him possessed mental attributes, rendering all his active probing ineffective.

Then ~
The source of this hostility should be—

Dai Yueheng narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold glint in them. He wasn't one to just passively accept things; if you really dared to provoke him, he would definitely retaliate.

"His name is Huo Yuhao."

Mentioning Huo Yuhao's real name made Bei Bei, who had just relaxed, tense up again, and her expression froze slightly as Xu Sanshi rushed up to help her.

Thanks to her unique network of connections, Beibei had heard about the feud between Yuhao and Dai Huabin.

Now, Huo Yuhao is openly displaying his hostility in front of Dai Yueheng, and he is genuinely afraid that the two of them will start fighting right here.

"It's actually you!"

Dai Yueheng's brows relaxed, and his face showed a mixture of helplessness and a bitter smile.

If it were him in the past, he might have tried to reason with Huo Yuhao and appeal to his emotions, and also used a carrot and stick approach to try and win him over to the Duke's mansion.

but now?
Forget it... He's really tired and doesn't want to bother with those external matters anymore.

"If you think I would favor Dai Huabin, you are wrong. If you think the sons of the White Tiger Duke would tend towards infighting, you are also wrong."

Dai Yueheng sighed softly: "You can settle your own scores. I have no interest in, nor any obligation to, interfere... as long as you don't harm each other..."

At this point, Dai Yueheng's previously calm expression changed slightly.

'etc? '

If he remembered correctly, that kid seemed to have mobilized a group of bodyguards before! And he hadn't revealed where they went!

And he never heard from these people again after that.

'No way? '

Suddenly realizing this, Dai Yueheng abruptly looked up and met Huo Yuhao's gaze, his eyes no longer displaying the indifferent detachment of before: 'Could it be...?'

If that bastard Dai Huabin really mobilized his secret guards to ambush Shrek Academy students, this action would undoubtedly provoke conflict between the Duke's Mansion and Shrek Academy.

Or to put it more clearly:
The White Tiger Duke's Mansion openly challenged the authority of Shrek Academy, the number one holy land on the continent.

What's the difference between this behavior and courting death?
Unfortunately, Dai Yueheng saw a strong sense of mockery in Huo Yuhao's eyes, as well as a cold killing intent that seemed to be directed at the entire Duke's mansion.

'That kid…'

In an instant, Dai Yueheng's pupils constricted, almost merging into one.

'They actually dared to do something like that?'

……

Realizing something was wrong, Dai Yueheng left in a hurry without even saying goodbye. It's unknown how he will react when he sees his younger brother kneeling at the cafeteria entrance.

However, Beibei was completely exhausted after the previous movements and could only collapse on Xu Sanshi as they were taken to the familiar infirmary.

"I didn't expect you guys to find out about this so quickly..."

Beibei leaned back on the hospital bed and sighed softly, exchanging a glance with Xu Sanshi, who was also wearing bandages beside her: "We thought we could keep it a secret for a few more days."

"Tch! It's all thanks to the great reputation of you two outer court twin stars that there are always people waiting to watch your soul battle competition, otherwise I really wouldn't know what you've been doing these days."

Huo Yuhao pulled up a stool and leaned back with a sullen expression.

If he hadn't overheard some upperclassmen discussing Soul Fighting at the cafeteria entrance, he wouldn't have known about the mess these two were hiding. "You almost lost your life, you know? You're such a worry."

If Dai Yueheng hadn't come to the rescue, Huo Yuhao would have had to use his second spirit to kick that Soul King away to save their lives.

—His current soul power is only at the third ring, which is far from enough to activate the lowest level five invincible shield.

Even if they were to activate it using the power of the Snow Empress, the two would most likely still be engulfed by the energy aftershocks of their soul skills clashing three seconds later.

It's hard to say whether that inner court student will survive, but Beibei is definitely going to die on the spot.

"You guys...didn't we agree to face things together if anything happened?!"

Huo Yuhao was alright, only somewhat resentful of the two's deliberate concealment, but Xiao Xiao, whom he had brought along, found it hard to accept and even felt a sense of betrayal from being distrusted.

"We'd like to too."

Xu Sanshi looked helpless: "But we can't really send you guys to fight those Soul Kings, can we?"

If these kids had the strength of a Soul King, the two of them would be happy to stay in the background and enjoy themselves, instead of fighting to the death here.

strength……

"Ah~"

Realizing her own inadequacy, Xiao Xiao felt somewhat discouraged and squeezed together with Huo Yuhao, her feet dangling in the air.

Upon closer examination, their choices were indeed not without reason.

In this world, strength is the ultimate authority. These women from the Third Ring Road will only hold others back and will not be of any help whatsoever by getting involved in this matter.

"Alright! Relax."

Beibei smiled indifferently: "Anyway, Dai Yueheng is already helping to clean up the mess, so let's not tell anyone else about this."

"hiss--"

At the end of his sentence, he couldn't help but grimace, clearly aggravating his wounds: "I estimate I'll need about half a month to recover before I can get out of bed. During this time, I'll have to rely on you guys to cover for me."

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao reluctantly nodded in agreement.

The matter is over, and telling them now would only add unnecessary worry and would do no good.

"Yuhao?"

Beibei looked at Huo Yuhao with earnest eyes: "Can you do me a favor?"

"... "

Huo Yuhao, leaning back in his chair, remained silent, only waving his finger at the two of them before pointing towards the door.

Turning my gaze, the two injured men's lips twitched.

At the doorway, Wu Feng and Ning Tian were peeking inside through the crack in the door.

Jiang Nannan, her eyes filled with complicated emotions, flung open the door and leaned against the doorframe: "So you two really like playing heroes, huh, Xu Sanshi!"

“Nannan…”

Xu Sanshi's expression instantly froze: "Actually, I—"

"Just a fall?"

Jiang Nannan responded with a cold laugh.

"Hi…"

Watching the two interact, Beibei shook her head and smiled wryly, feeling that what she feared most had come to pass.

"What are you laughing at? I'll tell Xiaoya about your injuries when we get back!"

"...Please don't! I'm begging you."
