Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 139 Discussion in the Cafeteria (Daily 10,000 words)

Zhou Sichen, the captain of Class 10, spoke somewhat haltingly. The two team members below him exchanged glances. Although they didn't understand why Huo Yuhao, who had been calm when he went on stage, suddenly became so oppressive, everyone could hear the suppressed emotions in his words.

Huo Yuhao is not someone to be trifled with right now; he's like a powder keg that could explode at any moment. The only reason he hasn't exploded yet is because the other party is doing everything he can to restrain him!

Seeing Huo Yuhao's unusual behavior, Wang Dong finally became convinced that everything he had just experienced was not an illusion.

If Huo Yuhao's team seemed capable of putting up a fight on paper, they hesitated after seeing that Huo Yuhao also possessed a super-limited-age soul ring configuration of one yellow and one purple ring.

Huo Yuhao is clearly planning to go all out. They wouldn't be able to win even if they went up there, so why bother going up at all?

Two purple spirit rings are far more intimidating than a team with a single spirit master. After all, even compared to a typical team with two spirit masters, Huo Yuhao's team is only missing two hundred-year spirit rings; the most destructive thousand-year spirit rings are still there.

"Glug."

Zhou Sichen from Class 10 looked back at his two teammates and found that their fighting spirit was not very strong. After hesitating for a long time, he chose to give up.

The other teams and the teachers on the sidelines were not surprised by the choice made by Class 10. Even if you know it's impossible, you have to consider the reason for doing it. In a freshman elimination competition, there is indeed no need to take unnecessary risks.

After all, although Shrek Academy's freshman competition has proctors present every year, teaching accidents still occur to some extent—the bloody kind.

After the competition, the three of them left the assessment area and returned to their dormitory immediately. They did not linger. In the two battles of the quarterfinals and semifinals, the remaining opponents were definitely not strong enough to force the opponent's Netherworld White Tiger. Since that was the case, there was no need to continue watching.

"Yuhao, what's wrong with you today? Do you know that Dai Huabin?"

As soon as he got back to the dorm, Wang Dong couldn't help but ask. Huo Yuhao's behavior after seeing Dai Huabin was too strange. The usually composed Huo Yuhao had his facial expressions fail him for the first time. Although it only lasted a few moments, it already said a lot.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao's reaction was no longer as intense as it had been at the beginning. He simply nodded slowly and said, "Dai Huabin is the son of the Duke of Baihu, the second son of the legitimate wife. During my time in the Duke of Baihu's mansion, I was surnamed Dai and was a son of a concubine."

Then, Huo Yuhao chuckled and said, "Those whose lives are lower than those of servants, including my mother. If I hadn't escaped from the White Tiger Duke's mansion with my mother early on, we might have been buried somewhere by now."

Huo Yuhao's tone was relaxed, but Wang Dong was furious.

Wang Dong once asked Huo Yuhao why he knew so clearly during the physical test that Teacher Li was a healing-type Soul Saint. Huo Yuhao's answer was that he had once asked Teacher Li to treat his mother's chronic illness.

Then, Wang Dong remembered that Huo Yuhao had wanted to move his barbecue restaurant to the school cafeteria a few days ago.

"Damn it." Wang Dong slammed his hand on the bed and jumped up.

However, Huo Yuhao immediately stopped Wang Dong and slowly shook his head.

"A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan. Wang Dong, I have already endured for so long, what harm is there in enduring a few more years? Dai Huabin alone cannot repay this debt. The child's evil is pure evil, and perhaps it can be said that he has no sense of right and wrong, but what about the Duchess?"

"I will collect this debt, but for now, we only need to collect some interest at most, since someone has already come to us, haven't we?"

At this point, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong exchanged a smile. Yes, someone had already delivered themselves to their doorstep. Since that was the case, why not give them a resounding defeat?

Having secured another easy victory, Huo Yuhao's team of three were busily planning their tactics for the final battle in the cafeteria.

"Hehe, class monitor, having too much power isn't a good thing, although Wang Dong and I are really confident in your abilities."

Xiao Xiao was somewhat shocked after hearing Huo Yuhao's tactical arrangements, but Wang Dong quickly explained to her why Huo Yuhao had made such arrangements.

"But since you're already planning to do this, Wang Dong and I will cover for you. The rest of the competition will depend entirely on your performance."

Huo Yuhao shook his head upon hearing this: "It's not just about my performance. The extra guy in their team still needs the two of you to deal with him."

"I think only our class monitor could say something so assertive."

Xiao Xiao looked at Huo Yuhao with a smile. Apart from the three of them, no one knew what kind of astonishing tactical arrangements they had just made at the dinner table.

Huo Yuhao's tactical arrangement this time made his intention very clear: to shatter the opponent's spirit once and for all, to make the opponent tremble at the sight of Huo Yuhao for the rest of their life, and to make the opponent lose their strong will once and never be able to pick it up again.

For these powerful individuals who are qualified to reach the pinnacle of Soul Master, nothing could be more terrifying than this. Their spirit has been shattered, and it might be a nightmare they can never recover from for the rest of their lives.

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and extended his right hand. Wang Dong, once again, placed his hand on top first, with Xiao Xiao's hand on top. The three exchanged glances, their faces all displaying confident smiles.

"In that case, I'll leave it to you all."

Huo Yuhao nodded in acknowledgment.

"We are the champions."

The three men's boastful words weren't loud, but it wasn't like when they were discussing tactics at the beginning. The other two were directly pulled into the shared mental energy chat channel for mental detection, and there weren't many people eating at this time, so their words were heard clearly.

Just as they were declaring us champions, a somewhat shrill female voice rang out, "Shameless! Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew? The champions are from our freshman class, Class 5."

Huo Yuhao and his two companions turned around at the same time and saw three freshmen walking towards them. Walking in the very center was none other than Dai Huabin, their opponent in the finals that afternoon! And speaking was a black-haired girl to his left.

The girl's eyes were unusual; each eye was a different color—a pale blue on the left and a pale yellow on the right. When her gaze fell upon them, her pupils slightly narrowed, appearing quite peculiar.
