Douluo Continent: The Ruler of Time, Reigning Supreme

Chapter 155 Wu Feng's Taunt

Wang Yan's teaching philosophy leans towards gentleness; he prefers to guide students to grow on their own rather than using harsh methods to constrain them.

The vice class teacher, Han Ruoruo, has the same personality.

The result was that these top students from all over the mainland were all very individualistic, and there was never a break in the class.

For example, the current situation...

Wang Yan's gaze turned to Wu Feng.

'Wu Feng, this child, possesses a Red Dragon Martial Soul, top-tier talent, and her personality is just like her Martial Soul—strong-willed, domineering, and intolerant of any dissent.'

His gaze then shifted to Huo Yuhao.

'And Huo Yuhao, precisely, was that grain of sand in her eye.'

Wang Yan clearly remembered how the incident started.

Wu Feng had always disliked Huo Yuhao, especially during the freshman assessment, when Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao's team defeated the powerful team led by Ning Tian, ​​who possessed Soul Masters, in a way she couldn't understand at all.

Since then, Wu Feng's targeting has never stopped.

'What kind of skill is it for a guy with only a dozen or so levels of soul power to rely on two powerful teammates?'

'This level of cultivation is a complete waste of the academy's resources; he has no right to stay in our freshman class.'

Similar taunts happen almost every day.

What ignited all of this was a sentence Wu Feng uttered this morning.

"I heard you got in through a recommendation from the Tang Sect? Oh, so you got in through connections. No wonder Shrek Academy's entry requirements have become so low."

These words completely ignited the powder keg in Huo Yuhao's heart.

Thus, this battle of spirits came about.

Huo Yuhao initiated the challenge.

Having won, Wu Feng apologized to him in front of the whole class.

After losing, Huo Yuhao applied to leave Class 1 of the freshmen and even the Martial Soul Department.

Wang Yan rubbed his temples, his mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.

Although he was provoked, it was ultimately Huo Yuhao's own choice.

A Soul Master who lacks even the courage to defend their own dignity is destined not to go far in the future.

Wang Yan respected his choice.

He actually thought highly of Huo Yuhao; that child's spiritual martial soul was the most unique among all the people he had ever seen.

'I hope... he can give me, and everyone else, a surprise.'

On one side of the arena, Han Ruoruo, dressed in a Shrek Academy teacher's uniform, served as the referee for this battle of spirits.

Her pretty face held a hint of seriousness as her gaze swept over the two students.

"Both sides prepare."

Her clear voice echoed throughout the entire arena area.

"The soul fighting begins!"

With Han Ruoruo's command, the atmosphere on the arena instantly became tense.

However, Wu Feng did not make a move immediately.

She crossed her arms over her chest, showcasing her stunning figure.

She slightly raised her chin, looking down at Huo Yuhao with an undisguised sarcasm on her lips.

"Huo Yuhao, I'm giving you one last chance."

Her voice was loud, deliberately making sure everyone in the audience could hear her clearly.

"Now, you just stay here and do your job properly. Tomorrow, apply to the college to leave Class 1 of freshmen, and I'll pretend nothing happened today. How about that?"

She chuckled softly and continued:
"With your cultivation level of less than level 20, how many punches can you withstand? I don't know how to hold back when I strike. If I accidentally kill you, I'll be punished by the academy. It's not worth it, is it?"

These words were extremely humiliating.

Below the stage, Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu, standing in the crowd, both wore mocking smiles. "Heh, this good-for-nothing actually dared to come up on stage."

Zhu Lu whispered to Dai Huabin.

Dai Huabin didn't speak, but looked at Huo Yuhao on the stage with a cold, disgusted gaze.

He himself couldn't explain why.

Why? Why do I feel disgusted just looking at this guy?

Dai Huabin thought to himself.

'There's something about him that I instinctively repel. A piece of trash who barely stays here by luck and others' pity should know his place. Wu Feng did the right thing, kicking him out of the Martial Soul Department, or better yet, out of Shrek Academy altogether, out of sight, out of mind.'

On the other side, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were so angry that their faces turned red.

"Damn it, that Wu Feng, she's gone too far!"

Wang Dong gritted his teeth and growled.

"Wang Dong, don't be impulsive."

Xiao Xiao tugged at his sleeve and said urgently.

"We must trust Yuhao. Since he dared to accept the challenge, he must have his own methods."

Even so, her own voice was filled with unease.

Despite Wu Feng's mockery and Dai Huabin's undisguised malice from below the stage, Huo Yuhao's expression remained unchanged, still calm.

However, his hands, which were hanging at his sides, had unconsciously clenched into fists.

His eyes were terrifyingly gloomy.

His heart was far from calm on the surface; it was already turbulent.

'Why? ’

He asked himself the same question over and over again.

'Wu Feng, what have I done to offend you?'

"Just because we beat you and Ning Tian during the freshman assessment? But that was a team victory, a tactical victory. Isn't that exactly what Shrek Academy advocates?"

"Just because my cultivation level is low? From the day I entered the academy, I have never slacked off for a single day. I have put in more effort than any of you."

"Just because I was recommended by the Tang Sect? The Tang Sect is an ally of Shrek Academy, and the recommendation quota is a rule of the academy. What's wrong with that?"

A series of questions churned in his mind, eventually turning into a surge of anger.

'No matter what, I must win this battle.'

He took a deep breath and his eyes became extremely determined.

This is not only for his own dignity, but also for the dignity of the Tang Clan.

He couldn't let others say that the person recommended by the Tang Clan was a good-for-nothing.

More importantly, he cannot leave the Martial Soul system.

He thought of Teacher Zhou Yi and Teacher Fan Yu.

"Although Teacher Zhou is strict, she genuinely cares about me. Her recommendation for me to study Soul Guidance is for my future."

"Teacher Fanyu shared all her knowledge with me, opening up a whole new world for me."

'But that doesn't mean I have to give up on the Martial Soul system.'

If he loses today and is expelled from the Spirit System, what does that mean?
That represents escapism, it means he is a failure on the path of martial spirit, and can only slink away to the soul guidance system.

'I won't be a deserter!'

Huo Yuhao's chest heaved violently as a strong sense of resentment and stubbornness surged from the bottom of his heart.

'I'm not convinced.'

Why are Dai Huabin and his group the core disciples, enjoying the academy's best resources and the center of attention?

Why should I be looked down upon and treated like a useless person who got in through connections?
