Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 50 Crisis Sensation

Back in the rest area, Bei Bei and Jie Qu immediately came up and gave Huo Yuhao a high-five. Although Huo Yuhao emphasized that the result of the second match was a draw, it was clear to everyone that even if Xu Sanshi insisted on continuing the match, his chances of winning were extremely slim.

"I'm starting to have a different opinion of Xu Sanshi."

Sitting in the rest area, Jie Zhuo and Bei Bei saw everything clearly from Xu Sanshi and Huo Yuhao's actions on the stage. When Xu Sanshi willingly admitted that he had lost the match, Jie Zhuo's impression of Xu Sanshi changed slightly.

"Although it's a draw, Xu Sanshi can't renege on his Xuan Shui Pills. Don't worry about that. If he doesn't hand over your three Xuan Shui Pills obediently, you won't need to go to the Soul Arena again. Brother Jiechu and I will take care of him clearly."

Beibei grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth. He really hadn't expected that the timid nine-year-old boy who appeared at the school gate a few months ago would have such an outstanding performance on the Soul Arena.

Just as the group was getting into their conversation, a middle-aged man and an elderly man in a tattered robe walked over.

"Teacher Wang Yan, Elder Xuan."

Beibei was the first to stand up and bow to the two. Jiechu had friends all over Shrek Academy, so it was impossible for him not to recognize the two in front of him. They bowed to each other.

Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, was somewhat at a loss as to what to do, since he was not yet a student of Shrek Academy.

The middle-aged man, known as Wang Yan, gently pushed up the glasses on his nose, smiled warmly, took a step forward, extended his hand to shake hands with Huo Yuhao, and nodded to Huo Yuhao in greeting, very considerately helping Huo Yuhao to defuse the awkward situation.

"Hello, you must be Huo Yuhao. My name is Wang Yan, and I'm a teacher at Shrek Academy. You can call me Teacher Wang, just like Bei Bei and the others."

It has to be said that Wang Yan's behavior exudes a sense of warmth and comfort. Even though Huo Yuhao knew that Teacher Wang and the old man next to him were probably there because they were interested in his performance, he still felt very comfortable interacting with them.

After introducing himself to Huo Yuhao, Wang Yan turned his attention to Bei Bei: "Bei Bei, congratulations! You ranked first in this year's second-grade entrance exam. Good job, keep it up!"

Upon hearing this, Beibei scratched his head and chuckled. Although there were quite a few experts in his grade, the competition wasn't as fierce as in those monster grades where tigers and dragons roamed. He was just lucky, and with his own strength, he managed to achieve first place once.

It should be noted that an outstanding fourth-grade Soul Master with a cultivation level of 41 is already a rare find among fourth-grade students, but even he was ranked outside the top ten in the entrance exam three months ago.

"Outstanding, you still have the nerve to laugh with Beibei? Do you know you almost failed your theory test? If you don't improve your theory test this semester and your overall grade is so low, see how I deal with you."

Wang Yan's gaze swept across the scene like a knife, fixing on Jie Zhu, who was chuckling with Bei Bei. Jie Zhu was so frightened that he immediately shut up and lowered his head like a quail, as if trying to make everyone forget his existence.

So it was because my theoretical scores were too poor that I didn't even make it into the top ten?

Beibei glanced helplessly at Jiechu, who was scratching his head awkwardly.

After exchanging pleasantries with the two, Wang Yan turned his attention back to Huo Yuhao.

"Yes, Yuhao, may I call you that?"

Wang Yan smiled warmly and looked at Huo Yuhao before asking a question.

"Of course, Teacher Wang."

Huo Yuhao smiled shyly, looking like the warm winter sun. This even gave Wang Yan a momentary illusion that the cold, efficient humanoid machine on the Soul Battle Stage and the child in front of him were not the same person.

Huo Yuhao, who seemed unfazed even if the sky were to fall on the Soul Battle Stage, transformed into a real, flesh-and-blood person once he stepped off the stage.

He's practically a killer born for battle.

A strange thought suddenly flashed through Wang Yan's mind.

"Yuhao, let me introduce you. This is Elder Xuan. He watched your battle spirit today and is very interested in you, so he wanted to come and ask you a few questions. Is this convenient for you?"

Wang Yan's words immediately perked Huo Yuhao up. When he heard Bei Bei greet him earlier, he had already noticed the drunken, seemingly sleepy old man behind Wang Yan, the old man known as "Old Xuan".

According to Huo Yuhao's intelligence, this old man known as Elder Xuan might be quite powerful. After all, he was someone the old man had mentioned who could survive being poisoned, and he was also extremely delicious. If he could cater to Elder Xuan's tastes and develop him into a valuable asset, Huo Yuhao could succeed.

Suddenly, even though he had only had this thought for a moment, Huo Yuhao felt a huge "danger" character appear on his forehead. This "danger" character was as red as blood, showing an unparalleled and enormous crisis.

Huo Yuhao was shocked by the word "danger". He had only had the idea of ​​currying favor with the other party, but it triggered such a strong sense of crisis. What secrets did this old man have?

The ability to automatically trigger alerts when facing a crisis is an innate ability of Huo Yuhao in the Ashina world. If the enemy in front of him suddenly changes his tactics and uses an extremely difficult-to-defend thrust attack or low attack, he will trigger this crisis perception ability in advance, thus being more cautious in defending against the enemy's change of tactics.

Among the many enemies Huo Yuhao has faced, even the Sword Saint Ashina Isshin would trigger Huo Yuhao's ability in advance when launching a thrust or low attack, without ever making a mistake. It is precisely because of this that Huo Yuhao has extreme confidence in this ability.

In the very moment of their battle, when Xu Sanshi attempted to use the Xuanming Zhen attack to stun Huo Yuhao in the first round, he also triggered Huo Yuhao's innate talent. However, even if all the "danger" characters that Huo Yuhao had triggered in the past were added together, the sense of crisis was not as strong as it was just now.

The blood-red "Danger" character above Huo Yuhao's head seemed to be shouting at him, warning him never to trust the other party, or he would die!

Not only will you die, but if you blindly trust the other party's strength and regard them as a reliable trump card and protective umbrella, it may lead to an even greater crisis, such as one person dying and many others dying.
