Douluo Continent: Transmigrating into Huo Yuhao's world, I start by becoming Yao Lao's app

Chapter 96 Can't you forgive him?

"Now kowtow and admit your mistake, then take your friends to complete the withdrawal procedures!"

These words struck Dai Huabin's heart like a heavy hammer, turning his cold, hard face instantly pale.

No matter how much he cried out "impossible" in his heart, the truth was still right in front of him!

His perfect score in the upgrade assessment was something he could not surpass and was an unprecedented achievement in the entire Shrek Academy.

Moreover, he had previously made a vow with Huo Yuhao at the gate of Shrek Academy, and Du Weiren, who was in charge of witnessing the vow, was also there. He couldn't deny it, nor could he deny it.

"Huo Yuhao, don't go too far!" Zhu Lu said angrily.

"Oh? Did I go too far?" Huo Yuhao said, feigning surprise.

"But wasn't it you who suggested that whoever loses kneel down? I originally intended to use gold soul coins as the wager, but who knew you'd go this far. And now that you've lost, you're trying to renege on your debt? Is this how people from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion behave?"

Zhu Lu was speechless after being rebuked by Huo Yuhao.

Indeed, the suggestion that whoever lost should kneel down was made by Zhu Lu herself.

Although Huo Yuhao added the condition of dropping out of school later, he did so based on what she said, so ultimately it was all her own fault.

"Huo Yuhao, in my opinion, one should be forgiving. We're classmates, why are you putting Dai Huabin through this? If this gets out, people will think you lack magnanimity. Can't you forgive him?"

At this moment, a teacher from Shrek Academy suddenly stepped out from behind Du Weiren and earnestly instructed Huo Yuhao.

"Who the hell are you?" Huo Yuhao sneered, picking at his ear as he spoke dismissively.

"You! How dare you speak to a teacher like that? Do you want to be expelled from Shrek Academy?" The teacher was furious upon hearing this.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Director Du, which rat's nest did this teacher crawl out of? How come he can't speak human language at all?" Huo Yuhao said coldly to Du Weilun.

"He just said he'd expel me from Shrek Academy? Fine! Let's go to the Shanghai God Pavilion and settle this right now, and see who gets kicked out!"

Du Weiren sighed and gave a wry smile. In all his years of coaching, he had never seen a student as reckless as Huo Yuhao.

However, the Sea God had given an order that Huo Yuhao must not leave Shrek Academy unless he posed a serious threat to the academy. Therefore, Du Weiren could only helplessly explain for Huo Yuhao.

"This is Teacher Yuan Liang, the backup judge for the upgrade assessment. He was assigned to other colleges in mainland China for exchange last year and is not at Shrek Academy."

Yuan Liang was originally a theory teacher at Shrek Academy, responsible for teaching knowledge about soul beasts, and his professional title was only intermediate teacher.

However, because he carried out an exchange mission to other colleges on the mainland last year, spreading Shrek Academy's honor and academic philosophy to various parts of the mainland and making contributions to Shrek Academy, he will soon be promoted to senior teacher.

He was originally from the Star Luo Empire, so he was naturally familiar with the White Tiger family. Although he was a teacher at Shrek Academy, he also wanted to curry favor with Duke White Tiger and arrange for several of his family's younger relatives to join the Star Luo Empire's army.

So this time, although he seemed to be speaking up for Dai Huabin, he actually wanted to gain favor with Dai Huabin and thus establish a relationship with the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

However, he did not expect that in just one year, Shrek Academy would have such a troublemaker as Huo Yuhao.

Moreover, judging from Huo Yuhao's appearance, he seems to have some connection with the Sea God Pavilion. Could it be that he has kicked a hornet's nest this time?

"Oh, the backup referee, so he was just a backup plan," Huo Yuhao said with a shrug.

"Teacher, back then, Dai Huabin and I made a vow at the academy gate in front of countless new students and their parents, with Director Du as our witness. Now you want me to let Dai Huabin off the hook, which means you want me, Huo Yuhao, to break my vow?"

"Where will Director Du Weilen's authority be in front of the students? And where will Shrek Academy's reputation and honor be?"

Once the accusation was slapped on his head, Yuan Liang was immediately stunned. He had only wanted to take sides by relying on his teacher's authority, but he hadn't expected there to be so much more to it.

"Huo Yuhao, bets and oaths between classmates are meant to encourage each other, boost enthusiasm for cultivation, and improve personal strength. But now you're going to make Dai Huabin kneel in public and even leave Shrek Academy for a mere bet. Put yourself in his shoes; if you were him, what would you do?"

When grand principles didn't work, Yuan Liang resorted to a typical teaching method of an experienced teacher: putting himself in the other person's shoes!

"If I were him, and even a thousand-year-old soul beast could cripple my hand, I would have jumped into the river and committed suicide long ago!"

However, to Yuan Liang's surprise, Huo Yuhao didn't buy it at all. Instead, what Huo Yuhao said made Dai Huabin's face turn pale again, and he trembled all over.

"Dai Huabin hails from the White Tiger Duke's mansion, and the White Tiger Duke is a highly respected general who guards the borders of the Star Luo Empire. If Dai Huabin violates the oath as you claim, he would be betraying the Star Luo Empire's reputation, which would be disloyalty!"

"The White Tiger Duke enjoys immense prestige in the Star Luo Empire, and the White Tiger family's ancestor was one of the original Shrek Seven Devils who ascended to godhood alongside Tang San's ancestor. If Dai Huabin chooses to back down today, he will be tarnishing the honor of the White Tiger family, which would be unfilial!"

"You just mentioned putting yourself in someone else's shoes. So, if I were to lose to this thousand-year-old soul beast and lose this bet, would Dai Huabin let me off the hook? No! Putting myself in his shoes, since Dai Huabin won't let me off the hook, then I shouldn't let him off the hook either, otherwise it would seem like he's heartless!"

"Dai Huabin has two female companions with him. If Dai Huabin chooses to back out when it comes time to fulfill the bet, then his two companions will have to bear the burden of the bet, which is unjust!"

"Is this the kind of disloyal, unfilial, inhumane, and unjust student you, Teacher Yuan, want to cultivate? Or have you, Teacher Yuan, developed ulterior motives during your year-long absence, seeking to climb the social ladder and damage the honor of Shrek Academy?!"

A barrage of accusations were leveled against him, and Yuan Liang's face turned as white as a sheet of paper. Even his back hunched over, and he swayed precariously, almost collapsing to the ground.

"Teacher Yuan Liang, I advise you to refrain from teaching your students to forgive others. Remember, people's hearts are unpredictable, like tigers and wolves. If you spare someone today, they might not see the sun rise tomorrow!"

"Am I right, Dai Huabin?!"

For a moment, Dai Huabin felt a tightness in his chest that he couldn't exhale, a sweet taste in his throat, and with a "whoosh," he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Zhu Lu exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly tried to help him up, but Dai Huabin rudely pushed her away.

His eyes were bloodshot as he glared fiercely at Huo Yuhao before him. He suddenly knelt down, shouting, "I was wrong!"

As he spoke, he slammed his head hard on the ground, then got up, turned around, and ran away.

"Wait, wait!" However, Huo Yuhao had no intention of letting him go. "Kowtowing is only part of the bet. Don't forget there's more. When are the three of you going to process your withdrawal from school?"

"Huo Yuhao, you're bullying me!" Dai Huabin gritted his teeth, blood spurting from his mouth.

"I know, I know, I went too far, didn't I?" Huo Yuhao said calmly. "But you're right, I really did go too far!"

"You three have three days to withdraw from Shrek Academy. Otherwise, I'll make up a story about our bet and tell it in every teahouse in Shrek City, day after day, at different times. And if it causes any negative impact on your White Tiger Duke's Mansion, don't blame me!"

"you"

Finally, Dai Huabin coughed up another mouthful of blood. His eyes rolled back, his legs went weak, and he immediately lost consciousness.
