Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 98 Personal Feud

As Zhang Lexuan's words slowly faded, all the teachers on the viewing platform fell silent, not daring to utter a sound.

Yan Shaozhe's smile faded slightly as he stared at Zhang Lexuan, his words no longer carrying the teasing tone of before.

"Then I'll wait and see what surprises Teacher Zhang's two precious students will bring me."

You'll see.

As soon as the clear voice appeared, Yan Shaozhe's face darkened even more. He looked up at Xian Lin'er, who had appeared on the viewing platform at some point and was walking towards them. His expression changed for a moment before he forced out an ugly smile.

"Lin'er, what brings you here?"

"Alright, stop with your hypocritical act. I'm here to prevent you from doing anything underhanded during the assessment."

Xian Lin'er glanced at the six people below and spoke with a cold smile.

"Yan Shaozhe, let me tell you, I don't care about normal assessments, but if I find out that your people are using unfair methods during the competition, I will not only dismantle your assessment area today, but I will also report it to Elder Mu."

"Xianlin'er, you don't actually think you've already won, do you?"

Seeing that the other party was being so disrespectful, Yan Shaozhe's expression turned extremely ugly.

"You think you need tricks to deal with us? Don't overestimate those two trainees!"

"What? You think our trainees are weak?"

Xian Lin'er raised an eyebrow, her face showing no anger at being belittled, but instead she looked at Yan Shaozhe with a sharp retort.

"Then Dean Yan could announce the lifting of the ban on the use of soul tools! I believe Dean Yan wouldn't mind us soul tool students using what we're good at, right?"

Yan Shaozhe's face froze instantly, his mouth opened and closed several times, but he still dared not continue speaking in accordance with the other party's wishes.

After Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena joined the Soul Guidance Department, their studies were entirely taught by Xian Lin'er. No information about their talent in Soul Guidance Devices was leaked to the outside world.

Although no information could be obtained, judging from the occasional joy that Xian Lin'er had shown on her face over the past few months, the talents of these two geniuses were probably truly extraordinary.

It was already very risky for Tang San to fight two opponents alone; if the opponents were to use soul tools on top of that, then there would be no chance at all.

Thinking this to himself, Yan Shaozhe's aura remained undiminished, and he immediately retorted with a cold snort.

"I won't fall for your tricks. Don't think I know nothing about soul tools. They've only been in the soul tool department for three months. How skilled can they possibly be? They probably haven't even reached the first-level soul tool master level, have they?"

"I'm afraid that if I agree, those two will bring out the soul tools you personally crafted for them, won't they?"

As if anticipating Yan Shaozhe's reaction, Xian Lin'er had no interest in arguing at all.

"Cowards, since Dean Yan has said so, then our Soul Guidance Department can give way to you too."

After letting out a soft scoff, she ignored Yan Shaozhe's gloomy face, which was so dark it was almost dripping with water, and went to stand next to Zhang Lexuan.

"I could hear you two arguing from far away. It's just a few kids fighting, what's there to argue about?"

As the teachers on the platform respectfully stepped aside, the figure holding a wine gourd and swaying as he walked towards them was revealed.

Seeing Elder Xuan, who was usually uninterested in new students, appear here, Wang Yan was taken aback and couldn't suppress his curiosity, so he asked a question.

"Elder Xuan, what brings you here?"

As Elder Xuan found a comfortable spot to lie down at the edge of the platform, he waved his hand.

"Don't worry about me. I'm just here to see what kind of talent the kid who dared to insult me ​​to my face back then really has."

".ah?"

Wang Yan's expression changed, and he subconsciously glanced at Huo Yuhao below the stage.

How dare this seemingly sensible young man openly curse Elder Xuan?

Of course, he didn't dare to ask what exactly happened; he could only turn his attention back to the match that was about to begin.

As two of the favorites to win the championship, this match directly attracted the attention of all the teachers. Even the students who had already been defeated came to the edge of the area where the two teams were located, ready to watch this highly anticipated battle.

In the past, the hospital would definitely have chased away such behavior.

But this time is different. Being able to observe strong peers fighting is not a waste of time. It can also make students realize how big the gap is between themselves and truly top geniuses, and motivate them to work harder in their training.

The hospital naturally turned a blind eye.

Many teachers even brought their students to watch this match, which was as prestigious as the finals. The area was packed with people, making it look just like a real finals.

"Both sides announce their names upon entering!"

Looking at the six people who had arrived, Du Weiren spoke in a deep voice.

The fact that Yan Shaozhe, a master instructor with the cultivation level of a Soul Douluo, personally served as the referee for this match shows how much importance he attached to it.

"Zhou Sichen, Class 1, Freshmen."

"Cao Jinxuan, Class 1, Freshmen."

Compared to the excited audience around them, Zhou Sichen and Cao Jinxuan were not in such a good mood at the moment.

Being forcibly assigned to the same team as the naked war god by Zhou Yi was already humiliating enough, but now being watched by so many people is unbearable.

They can already imagine the scene where people point and whisper behind their backs when they go to eat in the cafeteria.

At first, they comforted themselves that at least they had found a strong teammate, so it didn't matter if they lost face. They just needed to keep a low profile during the competition and not attract too much attention. At the very least, they could get a runner-up position, which would be great.

As a result, after advancing from the top 32 to the top 16, they encountered another team that looked even more terrifying.

This isn't what we agreed on!

"Tang San, Class One of Freshmen."

Tang San had no time to care what his two cheap teammates were thinking. Looking at Huo Yuhao, who was also staring at him, he felt his heart pounding like never before.

With his former enemy, who had betrayed him, right before his eyes, one can imagine how much willpower Tang San had to suppress the urge to tear Huo Yuhao to pieces.

What a pity.

Noticing Tang San's outwardly nonchalant demeanor, but the bulging veins on his neck, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

If it weren't for the restriction of only being able to absorb it once every three days, his own original sin of rage might have already been unlocked by Tang San, right?

"Huo Yuhao, Class 5, Freshmen."

"Zhu Lu".

"Gu Yuena".

After everyone announced their names, Du Weilun nodded slightly. Driven by his soul power, his not-so-loud voice clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

"Because both sides are quite strong, I will be the referee for this match. Similarly, since I will be in charge of everything, you can give full play to your strength and attack your opponents with all your might without holding back."

"Anyone I rescue from the game is considered eliminated, understand?"

As Du Weilun finished speaking, Huo Yuhao felt his hand being pulled. He turned his head and saw Gu Yuena winking at him twice.

Without needing to communicate, Huo Yuhao understood what the other party wanted to express.

—You can go all out!

"."

You're dreaming!

Huo Yuhao, who almost lost his composure, coughed twice. Looking at Tang San in front of him, he remained silent for a moment, then suddenly gently squeezed Gu Yuena's hand.

"I have something I'd like to ask you."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhu Lu and said gently.

"This match is somewhat of a personal grudge... so let me handle this one by myself."

Not only Gu Yuena and Zhu Lu, but even Zhou Sichen and Cao Jinxuan on the other side were slightly taken aback when they heard this.

real or fake?

This guy wants to take on three people at once?

Upon hearing this, Tang San's expression suddenly turned extremely gloomy.

He almost doubted that he had heard correctly.

Huo Yuhao wants to fight me one-on-one?

He only managed to perish alongside me after fighting the God of Destruction by borrowing the power of the Seven Deadly Sins in his previous life, and he thinks he's on par with me?!

You must understand, I am a Soul Master! And Huo Yuhao is just a Great Soul Master.

The difference in cultivation level is obvious. If the other party can fight beyond their level, why can't he?

Even though Huo Yuhao possessed a million-year spirit ring, he knew that the power of that spirit ring was still limited by his physical attributes.

The extent to which Huo Yuhao's soul skills can be unleashed depends on how many years he can withstand. Right now, he only has a thousand-year soul ring, which is not a gap that is difficult to bridge in his eyes.

He was even more powerful than his opponent because he possessed hidden weapons.

How dare he!?

Huo Yuhao clearly couldn't answer Tang San's question, and as soon as he finished speaking, his two teammates provided the answer.

".good."

Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Yuena and Zhu Lu spoke directly to Du Weiren, who hadn't yet reacted.

"We both abstain."

After saying that, the two walked straight off the field under the shocked gazes of the surrounding audience.

Even Elder Xuan couldn't help but frown slightly upon seeing this scene, looking at Huo Yuhao with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty in his eyes.

To be honest, after interacting with Huo Yuhao that night, he gained some understanding of Huo Yuhao's personality.

Naturally, no one thought that this arrogant young man, whom Elder Mu had described as arrogant, was planning to give up the match, but didn't that mean he was really confident he could take on three opponents at once?

Did I misjudge it?

impossible!

He was just a control-type Soul Master whose skills seemed more geared towards support, and who, apart from having stronger physical attributes than other Soul Masters of the same level, had no offensive capabilities whatsoever. He believed his judgment was correct.

but……

What makes Huo Yuhao so special?

On the field.

Seeing the two give up on the match so easily, Du Weiren swallowed hard. For some reason, he suddenly felt a strong sense of unease welling up in his heart.

He found himself increasingly unable to understand Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena.

As the match progressed, the opponent not only failed to reveal more of their abilities, but instead became increasingly mysterious.

Are these two people really capable of being recruited by their spirit system, or even by Shrek Academy?
