Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 140 What kind of champion are you? A loan champion? (Daily 10,000 views)

"This advice is perfectly applicable to you. You can't even see your own limitations before you start taking out loans to win championships?"

Wang Dong took a sip of the meat soup and replied slowly but sarcastically.

"you!"

The woman who had spoken rudely earlier was angered by Wang Dong's words.

Loan champion.

These four words are incredibly damaging to any team that has a chance to win the championship, especially when the team isn't absolutely certain of winning. Being called a "loan champion" doubles the damage.

Upon hearing Wang Dong's sharp-tongued comments, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but burst into laughter, laughing so hard she was shaking uncontrollably.

"Hahaha, loan champion, hahaha, Wang Dong, how come I never knew you were so witty?"

Dai Huabin had a cold expression on his face. He glanced at Huo Yuhao and the other two, but when his gaze fell on Huo Yuhao, he paused for a moment before slowly looking away.

Of course he didn't know Huo Yuhao, or rather, he didn't know Dai Yuhao, but how could he not know Huo Yuhao's deeds at Shrek Academy over the years?

"You'd better last a while during the finals, otherwise I'll feel like there's no one in my entire freshman year who can put me on equal footing."

When Dai Huabin said this, he still held his head high with a cold expression. Even after coming to Shrek Academy, he still believed that he was the best one, and that the others were nothing but chickens and dogs.

Just like when I was a child in the Duke's mansion, everyone was just a tool to please me, except that they could run, jump and talk, unlike other tools.

"Then you're going to be disappointed," Huo Yuhao said slowly after gnawing on a piece of fire-tailed wild boar rib. "After you finish the match, you'll find that you haven't found anyone to look at at eye level, but you've found three more that you have to look up to."

"snort."

Dai Huabin snorted coldly, said no more, and strode confidently into the cafeteria. The black-haired girl also gave a disdainful sneer, while the girl with long pink hair on the other side smiled charmingly, a smile that seemed to seep into one's very bones.

Huo Yuhao and his two companions said nothing more and continued to enjoy their meal. Dai Huabin and his two companions naturally ate the best food as well. The two sides were not far apart, but a subtle tension was already spreading in the air. However, no one took the initiative to provoke a fight, after all, the afternoon's match was the most important.

After lunch, Huo Yuhao and the other two went to a quiet spot by the Sea God Lake to continue studying their afternoon tactics. Although Huo Yuhao had already prepared the first plan, they still needed to have one or two backup plans.

The assessment area was very quiet. Although it was the final round of the freshman assessment elimination competition, there were no students or spectators.

Starting from the semifinals, Shrek Academy's new student fighting spirit has prohibited any students from watching the matches. Although the restrictions were somewhat relaxed in the previous elimination rounds, only teams that had entered the elimination rounds were allowed to watch.

All the students who did not participate in the assessment continued to attend classes. Therefore, this afternoon's final was actually the day with the fewest students in the assessment area.

Of course, fewer students doesn't necessarily mean fewer people. Almost all the teachers from the outer academy who weren't teaching gathered in the assessment area to watch the competition. Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy, and Qian Duoduo, the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department, came in person and, accompanied by Du Weilun and a group of teachers, went up to the high platform.

Both sides arrived at the venue early, preparing while observing their opponents in the distance.

Although Dai Huabin did not recognize Huo Yuhao, he could naturally sense the threat posed by Huo Yuhao's team.

Although they should have won based on their cultivation levels, especially since they also had a Martial Soul Fusion Technique, things that should have happened are not absolute.

Are Ning Tian's group weak? Whether it's Ning Tian with his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul or Wu Feng with his Fire Dragon Martial Soul, they are both top-notch freshmen. Their overall strength is not much worse than their team. Without using the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, Dai Huabin is not confident he can defeat them.

Is Xie Huan Yue's team weak? Xie Huan Yue's defense is extremely strong, but in the end, the teacher still had to intervene to end the match. Otherwise, that guy wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed.

Before this battle began, Dai Huabin made thorough preparations, even seeking out opponents who had fought against Huo Yuhao and his group before, including those from the initial round-robin matches, to carefully understand the abilities of Huo Yuhao and his two companions.

Unfortunately, apart from the battle with Xie Huanyue, Huo Yuhao's team hardly used any other soul skills. As a result, the only information they had was about Wang Dong's two soul skills and Xiao Xiao's second soul skill.

They knew almost nothing about Huo Yuhao, this most mysterious figure, except that he seemed to possess mental attacks.

By the way, they also knew that Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao both possessed twin martial souls, which added even more gloom to their hearts.

Thankfully, at least it's not three twin martial souls.

Dai Huabin's team comforted themselves in this way.

By this time, the judges had already entered the spacious assessment area. All the partitions had been removed at noon, revealing the huge assessment area.

The referee waved to both sides simultaneously, signaling them to enter the field.

Huo Yuhao and his two companions entered with an air of confidence. Huo Yuhao walked at the very front, flanked by Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao. On the other side, Dai Huabin led the way, accompanied by the two girls, as they entered the arena.

The referee called both players to the front and said in a deep voice, "The rules for the upcoming final match have changed somewhat. Listen carefully. You can move freely within the arena, but those with flying martial souls cannot fly higher than ten meters off the ground."

"To allow you to unleash your full potential, you can attack with all your might during the match. Don't hold back; I will control the pace of the game. Anyone rescued from the playing area by me will be considered out of the match. Do you all understand?"

"clear."

Both answered in unison.

Across from him, Dai Huabin's eyes flashed with a chilling glint. An invisible killing intent seemed to emanate from him. As the legitimate son of the White Tiger Duke, Dai Huabin, though not the eldest son, had received the best education from a young age.

Therefore, Dai Huabin's demeanor was far more cold and hard than that of his peers. Within the White Tiger Duke's clan, the most capable had always inherited the title, which fostered Dai Huabin's decisive and ruthless character from a young age. At only five years old, he had already personally killed a small soul beast.

But soon, the faint killing intent emanating from Dai Huabin was completely suppressed, because Huo Yuhao's golden eyes were also surging with killing intent, and it was far more intense than the killing intent emanating from Dai Huabin.

An extremely cold aura suddenly emanated from Huo Yuhao. This aura didn't seem to have any explosive power. But when it truly enveloped Dai Huabin and his two companions, Dai Huabin's team immediately felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar. Every hair on their bodies stood on end.

Cold, eerie, terrifying, irresistible, and unavoidable.
