Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao, the villain from a parallel world

However, Xingluo City is currently in the midst of a major competition, and the flow of people outside is simply too large, so there's not much to do outside.

The hotel was full of competing teams, so there wasn't much to see. Staying in the room was the best option, at least that's what he thought.

But Meng Hongchen kept looking for him, and Huo Yuhao couldn't refuse her too much.

I got out of bed, walked over and opened the door. Standing in the doorway was Meng Hongchen, dressed in a red dress, with an exquisite face and a charming smile.

"Senior brother, it's almost time. Let's go to the restaurant together."

As usual, Meng Hongchen extended an invitation, her smile pleasing to all.

"Okay, let's go together," Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

The two then linked arms and walked together toward the restaurant.

At the same time, two people from Shrek Academy also came out and walked towards the restaurant.

It was Zhu Lu and Dai Huabin, whom they had just met not long ago.

Dai Huabin's image is better now than when he first appeared.

He shaved off the thick hair on his face, revealing his original appearance, but it was still somewhat different from before, looking a bit more rugged.

He had just shaved his hair at noon, but by evening, a lot of downy hair had already grown back, which was incredibly fast.

"Damn it!" Dai Huabin touched his cheek and couldn't help but curse inwardly.

The severe side effects were extremely bothersome for Dai Huabin, and he even regretted his previous decision.

After his right leg was healed through the Bone Transformation Technique, Dai Huabin's soul power surged, breaking through the bottleneck of level 40 from level 37.

However, although his right leg has been healed, it will still take a considerable amount of time to fully recover. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for him to fully recover during a major competition.

Once he regained consciousness, he couldn't accept what the healing soul master was saying.

After all, in order to participate in the competition, he joined the Shrek Academy's inspection team and took on the dangerous mission of hunting down evil soul masters, but in the end he gained nothing.

How could he possibly be content with that?

In order to participate in the competition, he begged Dai Hao to find a way to help him recover from his injuries quickly and catch up with the competition schedule.

Dai Hao eventually gave in to his request.

After consulting with the healing Soul Master, they used the herb with the fewest side effects to help him recover quickly from his injuries.

That's why he was able to acquire the ring so quickly and come to Star Luo City.

One side effect of the bone replacement was that his right leg became thicker and stronger, which looked unsightly, but his strength increased significantly.

Another aspect is that it makes him more wild.

They may lose their minds in battle, but their combat power will also be enhanced.

So this isn't really a side effect for him.

However, after using the medicine that could quickly heal his injuries, the combination of the two side effects brought him even more adverse effects.

Examples include excessive hair growth, rapid hair growth, a rough voice, and changes in appearance.

These are the things that truly trouble him.

This also made him question the reasons for his initial decision.

Zhu Lu stood next to Dai Huabin with a smile on her face, but she seemed a little unnatural.

Because Dai Huabin had a smell he didn't have before, which was definitely not pleasant.

The changes in various aspects left Zhu Lu feeling somewhat lost and disoriented.

My feelings for Dai Huabin had begun to waver.

But now she can't say these things to Dai Huabin.

"Just bear with it a little longer. Hua Bin has become like this; from now on, I'll be all alone," Zhu Lu thought to herself, gritting her teeth.

She wasn't clear about the changes that had occurred to Dai Huabin, but she was basically aware that his soul power had broken through to the Soul Master level.

It should be noted that Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, the two senior students, only had a soul power of around level 40, and were also a year older than Dai Huabin.

Dai Huabin's talent is undoubtedly superior to theirs now, so accompanying such a genius is not a disservice to her.

Even though Dai Huabin now has many more flaws, this is still the case.

While the two of them were lost in their own thoughts, Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen also came out from the other side.

Upon arriving in the same corridor, they spotted each other immediately.

Huo Yuhao saw Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu, his eyes narrowed slightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared.

“Dai Huabin, I didn’t expect you to come after all. I thought I wouldn’t see you. This is just what I wanted.”

Recalling that in this world, it was Dai Huabin who ordered the guards to beat Huo Yun'er, leading to her death, a surge of murderous intent welled up in his heart.

Even so, he didn't show it on his face.

Because he knew that now was not the best time to kill Dai Huabin.

If Dai Huabin is killed here, he definitely won't be able to participate in the competition. Besides, Xuanzi is still with the Shrek Academy group.

Now, it is very difficult for him to deal with Xuanzi, and he could lose his life if he is not careful.

This is not the outcome Huo Yuhao wanted.

Chapter 167 Meeting the Enemy

Without revealing the slightest emotion, Huo Yuhao simply stared coldly at Dai Huabin.

"Since I can't kill you right away, I'll torture you properly during the tournament, as a way of collecting some interest."

He made his decision quickly.

Meng Hongchen, who was holding his hand and had been smiling the whole time, turned cold when she saw Zhu Lu and Dai Huabin.

She didn't know Dai Huabin, but she had seen Zhu Lu, a Shrek Academy reserve member.

After the battle with Shrek Academy, Meng Hongchen felt extreme disgust for everyone at Shrek.

Naturally, they wouldn't give them a friendly look.

"Hmph, I didn't expect to run into that bad woman this time, but instead ran into another woman."

"But this woman has poor taste, sticking with a man like that."

Meng Hongchen couldn't help but mutter something in Huo Yuhao's ear, her eyes full of disdain as she looked at Zhu Lu.

Although Tang Wutong was very annoying, Meng Hongchen thought at least she had no problem with her eyes, knowing that she liked handsome guys like Huo Yuhao.

Dai Huabin, who was standing next to Zhu Lu, wasn't actually that ugly due to the side effects, but he wasn't as handsome as before.

However, in the eyes of Meng Hongchen, a top-tier beauty enthusiast, Dai Huabin could already be considered ugly.

Everyone present was a Soul Master, with extremely keen senses, so Zhu Lu and Dai Huabin, who were not far from them, also heard Meng Hongchen's words.

Zhu Lu and Dai Huabin's expressions both turned ugly.

Because of the side effects, Dai Huabin is now extremely sensitive to his appearance and cannot tolerate any mockery.

He stared intently at Meng, his eyes filled with wildness and anger.

"Are you looking for death?"

Dai Huabin let out a low growl, took a step forward, and was about to walk towards Meng Hongchen, intending to teach this foul-mouthed woman a lesson with his fists and feet.

"Hua Bin, no!"

Although Zhu Lu was angry at being mocked, she remained rational and quickly reached out to pull Dai Huabin back.

As the person closest to Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu naturally knew how important it was for Dai Huabin to participate in the competition and win honors.

Dai Huabin would definitely regret it if he lost his chance to compete due to fighting in private.

However, Dai Huabin, who had lost his mind, did not understand her good intentions and was about to break free.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Lu was so frightened that she immediately shouted, "If this is another private fight, won't they be disqualified from the competition?"

"That means you won't be able to participate in any of the matches in this tournament."

Upon hearing this, Dai Huabin, who had already turned red with rage and wanted to teach Meng Hongchen a lesson, instantly froze.

He quickly regained his composure.

He has sacrificed so much for the competition, and he absolutely cannot be prevented from participating because of something like this.

Damn it!

"This damn side effect!"

After calming down, Dai Huabin couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Under normal circumstances, even if he were ridiculed, he would never lose his temper so easily.

However, the wildness brought about by the side effects made him so easily angered.

Dai Huabin suppressed his emotional turmoil and looked at Huo Yuhao, whose eyes were cold, and Meng Hongchen, whose face showed disdain.

He then scoffed, "Heh, all you've got is a silver tongue. Once we get on the field, I'll show you what real strength is."

After making his sarcastic remarks, Dai Huabin pulled Zhu Lu away, not heading towards the restaurant, but returning to Shrek's rest area.

After being mocked by Meng Hongchen, Dai Huabin lost his appetite.

Watching Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's departing figures, Meng Hongchen's disdain remained, but it also revealed a hint of strangeness.

"Senior brother, is there something wrong with that guy's brain?"

"We beat them so badly this morning, how did he dare to say such harsh words?"

Meng Hongchen couldn't help but complain to Huo Yuhao beside her.

Huo Yuhao smiled faintly and said, "This guy thinks too highly of himself. He probably didn't watch the match this morning; he just arrived here."

"In the eyes of this kind of person, as long as he comes to Shrek Academy, he will definitely win, and he will win with his help."

"Don't worry about him. When we meet Shrek again, I'll show him just how useless he really is."

Meng Hongchen was somewhat surprised that Huo Yuhao, who was usually taciturn, suddenly spoke so much.
