Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 561 You Beast, What Do You Know? (10,000 words per day)

The unrestrained sword light cleaved through the waves and instantly rushed towards Ye Liu's location. Ye Sheng had not expected the girls' counterattack to come so quickly and fiercely.

According to the rules, the girls are not allowed to attack, which is why he dared to act so boldly. Now that he is suddenly attacked by two girls at the same time, how could he not be shocked?

Before he could even run, he was tightly bound by the golden rope and could only watch helplessly as the sword light hurtled towards his location.

"Sister Ruoruo, I was wrong, please have mercy!" Ye Liu cried out in pain, but gave up resisting. The female student who attacked him was the perfect counter to him in terms of strength, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Huo Yuhao stared intently and saw that the golden light shooting into the sky seemed to be a golden rope. This was the first time he had ever seen such a martial soul, but he could tell that it should belong to a control-type battle soul master.

The female student who used the rope had eight spirit rings rising on her body: two yellow, two purple, and four black.

No wonder Ye Liu begged for mercy in mid-air. But this girl showed no mercy whatsoever; the golden rope tightened, binding him like a rice dumpling. She showed no sign of loosening her grip, forcing Ye Liu to watch as the sword light slammed into him, forcing him to circulate all his soul power to withstand it.

The next moment, Ye Liu, who had been precisely struck by the sword's edge, screamed and fell into the water, splashing up large sprays of water.

The golden light receded, and the three-eyed golden lion slowly sheathed its sword of judgment. Although it was only their first time working together, their coordination was exceptionally smooth.

Ye Liu, who had already been released from the water, popped her head out of the water and shouted to Zhang Lexuan in the distance with a mournful face, "Senior Sister, they broke the rules! Wasn't it said that the girls weren't allowed to fight in the first round?"

Zhang Lexuan snorted coldly and said, "What's the point of stirring up trouble? You broke the rules and annoyed the girls, so you'll have to suffer the consequences yourself. Swim back to shore. You don't need to participate in this matchmaking event anymore."

Although Ye Liu looked aggrieved, Zhang Lexuan's strong personal charm was undeniable, so she didn't say anything more and could only swim back to the shore in a huff.

Huo Yuhao turned to look at He Caitou beside him, who was also looking at him. The two brothers swallowed almost simultaneously.

He Caitou whispered, "Didn't Beibei say that this first step was safe? I don't feel that way at all!"

Huo Yuhao smiled wryly, "I didn't think so either. Those senior girls over there are amazing, some even have eight rings. Brother Caitou, this is tough. Also, our college's seniors, is this place...?"

Huo Yuhao pointed to the spot on his head without saying anything more.

He Caitou nodded in empathy.

Huo Yuhao seemed to realize something and suddenly turned his head to look at the location on the small boat. Several elders were looking at him with ambiguous smiles. Huo Yuhao's brain was spinning rapidly, and he quickly came to a conclusion.

"I understand, Brother Caitou, I understand everything."

"What do you know?"

He Caitou was completely baffled.

The other elders also felt a chill run down their spines. Huo Yuhao understood already? These old guys wanted to watch the show a little longer!

"No wonder when I went out today, some students from the outer academy were spreading rumors that I have three heads and six arms. And this senior Ye Liu, I understand now. This is Elder Xuan and other elders using this event to let me show my face in front of the senior students, and also to let me—make a fuss."

Huo Yuhao understood everything now. The inner academy was different from the outer academy. Many of his seniors were powerful, but they had been isolated from the world for too long and didn't understand anything. Just like Ye Liu, who finally had a chance to participate in the Sea God's Fate, but didn't even think before acting.

If he wants to lead the Sea God Pavilion in the future and truly take over from Elder Xuan as soon as possible, the first thing he needs to do is conquer these stubborn senior students.

Needless to say, his classmates of the same age were also completely subdued, even the strongest among them, Wang Dong. As for his classmates and students from lower grades, it goes without saying that he was even more capable.

As for classmates who are one or two grades above him, such as Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and He Caitou, they are all prominent figures in their respective grades. Huo Yuhao's recognition from them is equivalent to his recognition from their grade level.

As for elders like Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo, who are qualified to take over the Sea God Pavilion in the future, they are well aware of Huo Yuhao's contributions and potential, and they can't wait for their good disciple and nephew to come to the Sea God Pavilion to take on the main responsibility as soon as possible.

Only these senior students, who were four or five years older than him and even those who stayed on campus to be included in the Sea God Pavilion's observation program, had not yet generally recognized him. That was why he was here.

The recognition from Ning Ge and Jie Chu is not enough. Although they are both excellent, their words still lack weight in their respective age groups. If Ma Xiaotao were to say this, her words would carry enough weight, but the two of them still fall short.

As Huo Yuhao's senior sister, Ma Xiaotao would naturally help him out, but unfortunately, Ma Xiaotao is not here, so Huo Yuhao has to earn this face himself.

Just like in a mortal kingdom, a person can only become a military leader if all the soldiers under his command recognize him; a person can only become a warlord if all the military leaders under his command recognize him; and a person can only have the ability to sweep across the world if all the warlords recognize him.

This is an opportunity for me to make a name for myself and demonstrate my abilities!

It's all clear now, I understand everything. Elder Mu, Elder Xuan, and all the elders, I understand all your good intentions!

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and put away his notebook. The stage had been set up and the path had been paved. All he needed to do now was walk up there, and walk it beautifully and nimbly.

In that case, let's put the work at hand aside for now!

On the small boat, Elder Xuan and the others were already looking at each other in bewilderment.

Although Huo Yuhao seems to have really understood, judging from the other person's expression, something seems off about the direction of his understanding.

"What do you mean by 'beating the mountain to scare the tiger'? Huo Yuhao can't even see that big, innocent-looking girl. What are you thinking?"

Yan Shaozhe was almost frantic with worry—you beast, what do you know!

Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er exchanged a glance and sighed. The young men of Shrek Academy's inner court were all rather straightforward and lacked social skills, while Huo Yuhao was the other extreme—too worldly-wise.

"Forget it, forget it, at least we still have a show to watch. Whether Yuhao understands or not doesn't matter."

Elder Xuan hadn't expected Huo Yuhao's thinking to leap so far, immediately connecting it to his acquisition of Sea God Pavilion members and the Sea God Pavilion's heir. He took a few sips with a helpless expression, intending to sit back and watch how things unfolded.
