The Shrek Academy campus was extremely vast, with each building separated by a large stretch of land. Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong walked out of the dormitory and stopped on the open ground outside. Wang Dong turned, raised a hand, and beckoned towards Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao was seething with anger, but he still managed to restrain himself from immediately charging forward. After experiencing life-or-death moments in the Star Dou Great Forest, he had learned the ability to control himself and stay calm.
Behind the dormitory door, the old man sitting on the chair slightly raised his head, his eyes revealing curiosity and interest as he stared intently at Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.
A faint golden light flickered deep within Huo Yuhao's eyes, and a white spirit ring slowly appeared. His Spiritual Eye Martial Soul also unfolded.
Seeing Huo Yuhao's Ten-year Spirit Ring, Wang Dong sneered slightly and said:
"I truly doubt how you managed to get admitted. With just this little bit of skill, you dare to fight me? I don't even need to use my Martial Soul to deal with you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Dong tapped his left foot on the ground, his body shooting towards Huo Yuhao like an arrow. Not only was his speed extremely fast, but he was also incredibly agile. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Huo Yuhao, raising his left leg and kicking straight at Huo Yuhao's chest.
Only when the kick was upon him did Huo Yuhao realize with a start that Wang Dong's legs were clearly longer than average. In that instant, Huo Yuhao's body stiffened slightly. He quickly took a few steps to the left, and at the same time, raised his right hand to grab Wang Dong's ankle.
"Ugh."
Wang Dong obviously didn't expect Huo Yuhao to be able to block his kick. He immediately retracted his leg and simultaneously changed direction, striking at Huo Yuhao's neck.
Huo Yuhao, however, seemed to have anticipated his every move. When that kick changed direction, he immediately squatted down, then sprang up, his right shoulder just happening to strike Wang Dong's thigh.
Their movements were extremely fast. If someone were watching from outside, they would think Wang Dong had deliberately offered his leg for Huo Yuhao's shoulder to lean on.
It had to be said that Wang Dong's body was incredibly tough. His thigh was struck by Huo Yuhao's shoulder; if it were an ordinary person, they would have lost their balance. Yet he not only managed to raise his thigh to a right angle but also straightened his body into a horse-like stance (马), standing firmly on one leg.
When Huo Yuhao's shoulder touched Wang Dong's thigh, he suddenly felt that this guy's thigh was extremely resilient and supple. His body quickly shot forward, passing Wang Dong, intending to take advantage of him standing on one leg to kick him down.
Faced with Huo Yuhao's kick, Wang Dong suddenly performed an astonishing move. His right leg straightened, his entire body fell backward, facing the sky, and at the same time, his left leg rose to kick towards Huo Yuhao. At this moment, the span between his legs far exceeded what an ordinary person was capable of.
Huo Yuhao could predict Wang Dong's every move based on his Spiritual Eye, and this time was no exception. However, he didn't expect the move to be so unique. By the time he wanted to retract his kick, it was too late.
Nevertheless, he didn't completely lose his advantage. As Wang Dong's leg was about to kick Huo Yuhao's chin, he twisted his body, using both hands to block Wang Dong's left leg.
Thwack!!!
Wang Dong's kick carried an extremely powerful force. Huo Yuhao's hands trembled as he blocked it, instinctively activating his Mysterious Jade Hand. Despite this, the residual force still pushed him staggering backward.
Wang Dong flipped backward, his right foot lightly touching the ground, his left foot also drew back. He stabilized himself and once again charged straight at Huo Yuhao. Clearly, Huo Yuhao's previous action of ramming into his thigh had angered him.
While Huo Yuhao was still being pushed backward, Wang Dong stomped his right foot on the ground, twisted his body to the left, and then headed straight for Huo Yuhao.
Thump!!!
Wang Dong's right foot stomped the ground, creating a loud sound. Just looking at the deep footprint left on the hard stone slab was enough to know how powerful that kick was. Immediately after, his entire body was like a whirlwind, heading straight for Huo Yuhao, his two legs moving with agile grace, launching a tempestuous assault towards Huo Yuhao.
After one exchange, Huo Yuhao had calmed down. He activated his Spiritual Detection to envelop Wang Dong, and his feet then executed a portion of the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Steps he had comprehended. Wang Dong's powerful offensive was completely neutralized by Huo Yuhao's unexpected action.
The more Wang Dong fought, the more astonished he became. He clearly felt that Huo Yuhao's strength, whether in speed or power, was far inferior to his own. Yet, for some reason, none of his attacks landed. Huo Yuhao's speed wasn't fast, but he seemed to anticipate every one of Wang Dong's moves, easily evading them. He tried to use feints, but not a single one succeeded from beginning to end.
Wang Dong was not only arrogant but also extremely stubborn. If he said he wouldn't use his Martial Soul, he certainly wouldn't. He had no choice but to keep attacking; he didn't believe Huo Yuhao could evade everything.
Just as he predicted, Huo Yuhao was about to run out of endurance. Wang Dong's legs attacked relentlessly, coupled with his strange speed, forcing Huo Yuhao to fully concentrate on using his Spiritual Detection just to barely cope. But as time gradually passed, the disparity in their physical strength began to show.
Since childhood, Huo Yuhao had lived a harsh life like a commoner, with insufficient nutrition. He had only recently begun cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Method, so how could he compare to Wang Dong? Although Wang Dong hadn't used his Martial Soul, the Martial Soul existing within his body continuously replenished his stamina. As the battle dragged on, Huo Yuhao inevitably made mistakes. As a result, he was swept by Wang Dong's legs several times, his entire body aching intensely. Furthermore, his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Steps, which he hadn't mastered, became even more erratic at this moment, and he gradually fell into a passive position.
No, if this continued, he would surely be defeated. Huo Yuhao retreated faster and faster. When he could no longer avoid Wang Dong's attacks, he suddenly looked up. Startled by his sudden movement, Wang Dong looked over. The golden light in Huo Yuhao's eyes suddenly vanished, replaced by a purple gleam. At that very moment, Wang Dong's mind suddenly went blank, his brain feeling as if it were being pricked by needles, an unbearable pain.
With such a good opportunity before him, Huo Yuhao would certainly not let it slip. He quickly stepped forward, leaping up, his hands grabbing Wang Dong's, his legs wrapping around him, forcefully pushing Wang Dong to the ground.
Huo Yuhao saw that Wang Dong always used both his legs to attack, so in that urgent moment, he leaped up, wrapping his legs around Wang Dong. How could the other guy exert any more force? Just like that, he had him.
The pain in his brain made Wang Dong frown, but the ache only flashed for two seconds before vanishing. By the time he came to, Huo Yuhao had already pinned him to the ground. His legs and arms were firmly locked by Huo Yuhao. They were pressed so close that at this moment, even a single breath could be heard clearly.
