Huo Yuhao shook his head resolutely and said, "This disciple is not afraid."
Fan Yu's attitude had completely won over Huo Yuhao. Any regret he might have felt about not becoming a core disciple had vanished like smoke. At this moment, Huo Yuhao had achieved complete clarity. He wasn't alone; within his body resided Tian Meng! Tian Meng Iceworm had promised to find the most suitable spirit ring for him, which was his greatest advantage over other disciples. Aside from these issues, he had no other difficulties, so he was certain that he wouldn't be inferior to the Spirit Soul System in the Spirit Tool System. Moreover, he was still treated as a core disciple in the Spirit Soul System.
Fan Yu said, "As long as you're not afraid of hardship, your teacher will do his best to help you with everything else. The aptitude of those in our Spirit Tool System is only superior, not inferior, to those in the Spirit Soul System."
He walked up to Huo Yuhao and took out a necklace, placing it around Huo Yuhao's neck. The necklace was black, strung with a pale yellow tag, made of an unknown metal. Its surface was engraved with extremely complex patterns.
"With this tag, you can go anywhere in the outer court of the Spirit Tool System. For today, let's just cover these simple things. You've just been assigned to a class, so go rest now. Your study schedule will begin tomorrow."
"Yes, Teacher."
Watching Zhou Yi lead Huo Yuhao away, Fan Yu's face broke into a satisfied smile. He Caitou, still excited, muttered beside him, "Great, I have a junior brother, ha ha. From now on, Teacher won't just torment me alone, ha ha."
Hearing this, Fan Yu angrily turned around and tapped him on the head, saying, "When did I torment you? Go do your work."
He Caitou's face fell, and he obediently walked away. After he had gone for a while, a tall figure slowly approached Fan Yu. This person was none other than the dean of the Spirit Tool System, Qian Duoduo.
"Not bad, everything went very smoothly. His personality is truly special, a very good seed. The other day, they used their Spirit Soul Fusion Skill to win the championship, which truly made me both happy and regretful. Fortunately, Old Yan was blind and overlooked a precious gem. Thanks to that, we made such a huge profit. Fan Yu, how much success do you truly expect from our Ultimate Solo Soldier cultivation plan with him?"
Fan Yu thought for a moment and then said, "If it were He Caitou, I'd only be four parts confident. But with Huo Yuhao, it's seven parts. If both of them cooperate, give me ten to fifteen years, and I can definitely cultivate the first complete Ultimate Solo Soldier on the continent. After that, if they continue to cultivate, by around my age, they will fully achieve the goal of the plan."
"Good!" Qian Duoduo patted his chest and said, "With your words, from now on, everything in the Spirit Tool System is at your disposal. As long as the plan can be completed, I will accept any price. Furthermore, I guarantee that the position of the next dean of the Spirit Tool System will definitely be yours."
A fervent look gradually appeared in Fan Yu's eyes. "Dean Qian, you know that I want to cultivate the Ultimate Solo Soldier not for power."
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "Of course I know, because that is also my ideal. If we succeed, the entire Douluo Continent will tremble because of it."
Fan Yu smiled and said,
"As long as Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul can slowly develop, we will definitely succeed. The Martial Soul system doesn't need a Martial Soul True Body, but we do. What if it's a ten-year Spirit Ring? What does it matter if he started late? In my eyes, Huo Yuhao's ten-year Spirit Ring is many times stronger than a hundred-year Spirit Ring. Furthermore, Zhu Yi also told me that in just three months, his spirit power increased from rank thirteen to rank seventeen. I told Zhu Yi to keep this news a secret. Is such a development speed considered trash? Fortunately, only the homeroom teachers of each class are allowed to view the registration forms."
Qian Duoduo said, "Your Zhu Yi is truly eccentric, suddenly turning herself into an old woman. Don't you manage her?"
Fan Yu said helplessly, "With her temperament, do you think I can manage her? She said that her current appearance seems more authoritative when facing new disciples. Oh well, as long as she's not like that when she comes home at night, it's fine."
Zhu Yi led Huo Yuhao away from the Spirit Tool Department's testing area and quickly returned directly to the Martial Soul Department, but she did not take him back to the first-year Teaching Building.
As they passed the Martial Soul Department's assessment area, Zhu Yi released Huo Yuhao and asked, "Yuhao, earlier when you went to see Dean Du Weilun, did you ask him about the effect of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"
"No, I didn't." Huo Yuhao replied.
Zhu Yi frowned and said, "Why didn't you ask? You don't even know the effect of your own Martial Soul Fusion Skill. How will you use it in battle next time? How about this, when you go back today, tell Wang Dong to go ask Dean Du."
Tell Wang Dong to go? Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
Zhu Yi smiled and said, "Still don't understand? You are now a core disciple of the Spirit Tool Department. Try to show up less in front of Dean Du. Also, I see that Wang Yan seems very interested in you, so you should also be a bit more humble normally. I know you're very curious why I'm saying these things, it's because Fan Yu has decided to cultivate you well, so I will too. Perhaps you'll think I'm wrong, a teacher of the Martial Soul Department favoring the Spirit Tool Department, but I have a secret: when you marry, you follow your husband. Fan Yu is my husband, so I must also protect him."
As she spoke, Zhu Yi raised her right hand and pulled something from below her earlobe. Instantly, an extremely exquisite human-skin mask fell off, revealing an incredibly beautiful face. This appearance was probably around twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old, full of captivating gentleness.
Huo Yuhao stood watching, wide-eyed and dumbfounded. He never would have imagined that the famously unmarried old hag Zhu Yi was actually a great beauty. Moreover, this appearance did not carry any sense of strictness or difficulty.
Zhu Yi quickly put the mask back on and said with a苦笑 (bitter smile), "You see, my appearance has no intimidating power at all, which is why I have to disguise myself like this. Well, I have something else to do, you go back to class, it's still the same room. Remember, everything you just learned must be kept a secret. Especially the fact that you are now Fan Yu's personal disciple. Oh, and about selling grilled fish at night, you should stop that too. You won't have much time to waste anymore. All your expenses will be covered by the Spirit Tool Department. You'll know later how great the benefits of being a core disciple in the Spirit Tool Department are."
"Yes, Teacher Zhu."
In just half an hour, Huo Yuhao had received so much news that his mind was still hazy and unclear. But one thing was certain: the position of the Soul Tool Department in his heart had completely changed. Teacher Fan Yu not only encouraged him but also took him as a disciple, so all the sadness from not becoming a core disciple of the Martial Soul Department had completely disappeared.
"Report!"
Huo Yuhao arrived at the door of Class One's classroom and announced.
"Come in."
Wang Yan's voice immediately rang out. Huo Yuhao pushed the door open and entered. Instantly, all the disciples in the class focused their gaze on him.
As Huo Yuhao stepped in, the attention of all the students shifted with him. Wang Yan smiled and said, "Yuhao, you've arrived just in time. We can start electing the class monitor now. Take your seat."
Although the class had been divided, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao still sat together in the same group, unchanged. Huo Yuhao also noticed Dai Huabin, Zhou Lu, and Cui Yajie standing two rows behind them. As he entered, Dai Huabin gave him a cold glance.
Wang Yan stood on the podium and said, "First, we will begin electing the class monitors. Because our class has both Control System soul masters and Strong Attack System soul masters, there will be two class monitors, one for each system. They will rotate every month. I will write down the names of some prominent individuals, and everyone should prepare for a secret ballot."
As he spoke, he turned and wrote two rows of names on the blackboard. The first row was for the Strong Attack System, and below it were the names: Wang Dong, Dai Huabin, Zhou Sichen, Huang Chutian, Yu Feng.
The second row was for the Control System, and below it were four names: Huo Yuhao, Cao Jinxuan, Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo.
There were now nine names on the board, and from the order Wang Yan wrote them, it was clear that in his eyes, Wang Dong was the leading Battle Soul Master of the Strong Attack System. This was natural, and no one voiced any objection, because his team had just won the championship in this assessment. Although he had not reached rank thirty, the power of his Radiant Goddess Butterfly martial soul was undeniable.
However, Huo Yuhao's name leading the Control System made many people unconvinced, causing murmurs and discussions. Only the students from the old Class One of the New Students Department remained silent, because Huo Yuhao had once been their class monitor, and his efforts had long been recognized by them. But students from other classes did not know this, and most wore expressions of disdain.
Don't think that just because Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao together won the championship, they would all be respected. In fact, behind their backs, many people said that Huo Yuhao was extremely lucky to achieve what he did. A soul master with only one soul ring could win the New Student assessment championship—who would believe such a thing? And the treatment he was receiving was enough to make outsiders green with envy.
"Teacher Wang, this disciple has a question."
Yu Feng, sitting not far behind Dai Huabin, suddenly raised his hand and spoke.
Wang Yan's teaching method was completely different from Zhou Yi's. He smiled gently and said, "Yu Feng, what is it?"
Yu Feng's face was full of contempt as he said, "This disciple believes that Huo Yuhao is completely unqualified to participate in the class monitor election. He only has one soul ring, and it's a ten-year soul ring at that. Even if his team won the championship, it was thanks to Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao. What right does he have to be nominated for class monitor?"
Although Ning Tian initially thought that Huo Yuhao's strength was not as weak as it seemed, after they carefully re-examined, especially after Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they unanimously agreed that the person who knocked Ning Tian unconscious last time was Wang Dong. Huo Yuhao definitely did not have the ability to do such a thing. As for Huo Yuhao being able to join that team, it must have been because he could fuse his soul power with Wang Dong.
That day, their group was also eliminated because they lost to the three of Huo Yuhao. Even today, the girl still couldn't quell her anger, so at this moment, she immediately raised an objection.
As soon as the girl spoke, she was immediately echoed by many people, especially the students of the Control System. Wang Yan frowned and said in a deep voice:
"Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao are the three members of the team that just won the championship, so of course all three are excellent. I have also tested his Soul Skills, and I dare say that among disciples of the same level, very few can compare with him. The people I named are all individuals who have shown strong strength in the recent assessment."
Yu Feng disagreed completely and said:
"Teacher Wang, you said that his Soul Skills are unmatched, but look again, he only has one Soul Ring, what about the others? At least they are all Twin Rings, and there are even Three-Ring Soul Venerables. How can he rely on that one Soul Ring to run for class president? How can anyone be convinced?"
*Bang.*
Wang Dong slapped the table hard, stood up, and pointed at Yu Feng, saying:
"Don't push your luck. You lost to us and you're still not convinced? If you have the ability, you should have beaten us."
Yu Feng angrily said:
"Yes, I'm not convinced, so what? Didn't they say that the Control System counters the Strong Attack System? If he has the ability, tell him to fight me. If he wins, I will be convinced and won't say another word, and I'll also acknowledge his qualification to run for class president."
"You shut up, if you're so good, fight me! If you have the guts, follow me to the Soul Dueling Arena."
Wang Dong's eyes seemed to spit fire; he hissed each sentence, and the soul power on his body was already stirring, wanting to burst forth.
"Enough."
A majestic voice with intense soul power fluctuations rang out, suppressing both of them into silence.
"Everyone, sit down."
Only then did Yu Feng and Wang Dong reluctantly sit back in their seats.
Wang Yan said in a deep voice:
"Since there are dissenting opinions, let's vote. If the number of people who disagree is more than half, I will remove his name. Now, whoever disagrees, raise your hand."
If it were Zhou Yi, she would absolutely not do such a foolish thing. If anyone had an opinion, it wouldn't matter, she might even directly make Huo Yuhao class president. If they weren't convinced, she would punish them; her methods were absolutely tough.
But Wang Yan was different; he was a teacher who leaned towards theory, and his personality was gentle, so his ability to control students was naturally not as good as Zhou Yi's.
As soon as Wang Yan finished speaking, whether it was because too many disciples were jealous of Huo Yuhao or influenced by Yu Feng, almost two-thirds of the disciples raised their hands. Only a few disciples from Class One from the previous day and some calm-tempered individuals did not.
The disciples who could study at Shrek Academy were all outstanding geniuses; who among them wasn't arrogant? And in the class, almost all were Great Soul Masters or above. Now, asking them to accept a One-Ring Soul Master as class president, how could anyone agree?
Wang Yan certainly hadn't anticipated things would unfold this way. For a moment, he was dumbfounded, unsure how to resolve the situation. Wang Dong, on the other hand, was furious, his face pale. He clenched his fists, ready to stand up and fight again, but Huo Yuhao pulled him back.
Yu Feng said smugly, "Teacher Wang, it's far more than half. Please remove his name."
Wang Yan was extremely awkward. He had taught many disciples, but a situation like this was a first in his class. Moreover, he had just said it himself; now that he had started, he had to see it through. He could only look at Huo Yuhao apologetically. Just as he was about to announce Huo Yuhao's disqualification for class president, Huo Yuhao slowly raised his hand.
From the moment Yu Feng voiced her opinion until now, outwardly, Huo Yuhao hadn't shown any emotion. He had even remained calm enough to pull Wang Dong back. But in reality, could he truly be so calm inside?
Wang Yan said, "Yuhao, speak your mind."
Huo Yuhao slowly stood up, glanced at Yu Feng, and then calmly spoke, his speaking speed even slower than usual. "Teacher Wang, disciple has clearly heard Disciple Yu Feng's opinion. She suspects disciple's qualifications are insufficient to contend for class president. So, before you announce disciple's disqualification, disciple accepts Yu Feng's challenge. If disciple wins, then I ask everyone to vote again."
His voice was extremely calm, but as soon as he finished speaking, the entire classroom fell silent.
Dai Huabin and Zhou Lu, sitting behind him, and even Yu Feng, were all stunned. None of them could have imagined that Huo Yuhao would dare to challenge Yu Feng.
Yu Feng's Martial Soul was the Red Dragon. In terms of quality, although it was slightly inferior to Dai Huabin's White Tiger and Wang Dong's Goddess of Light Butterfly, it was only by a small margin. Moreover, she had two hundred-year Spirit Rings of decent quality, and her spirit power had already reached level twenty-five. No matter how one looked at it, she was far superior to Huo Yuhao! The mere fact that her team didn't achieve a high ranking in the assessment, yet she could still become a core disciple, was enough to understand. In the eyes of the teachers at Shrek Academy, Yu Feng's potential was immense.
Although Huo Yuhao was a Control-type Spirit Master, he was of the Spiritual system, with spirit power hovering around level seventeen or eighteen. His first Spirit Ring was also a ten-year Spirit Ring. From any perspective, he was extremely weak, so no one thought he could defeat Yu Feng.
Wang Dong's eyes narrowed slightly. He looked at Huo Yuhao's calm gaze, thought for a moment, then sighed and nodded, saying, "Alright, since that's the case, I'll allow you to go to the Spirit Dueling Zone. However, for fairness... never mind, let's call this a wager. If Yu Feng wins, Huo Yuhao's candidacy will be revoked. If Huo Yuhao wins, the opposite will happen. Today, I'll make an exception. Everyone stand up, we're going to the Spirit Dueling Zone."
Yu Feng had no objections to the wager. After all, Dai Huabin and Wang Dong were also on the list, so her chances of being chosen were extremely low. Besides, she didn't believe she would lose to that damned Huo Yuhao, who only had one Spirit Ring.
After a brief moment of stunned surprise, Yu Feng glanced at Huo Yuhao with disdain. The students also began to file out of the room. As Yu Feng passed Huo Yuhao, she whispered, "Today, I'll definitely beat you until you're crawling on the ground."
Huo Yuhao glanced at this Red Dragon Spirit Master, who had a boyish temperament, then turned and walked out.
Today, he had truly learned too much. The more he knew, the more he realized that he could not be weak and cowardly. If he lost his position as class monitor like this, he would never be able to hold his head high in this class again. This also greatly affected his mental state. Therefore, he decided to fight, even if he lost, he had to fight. Losing would still make him a man. If he didn't dare to accept Yu Feng's challenge now, what would he rely on to seek revenge in the future?
All the students of Class One had entered the Soul Arena. Of course, their entrance fees were all paid by Wang Yan. And today, apart from these disciples, no one else came to watch the match. This match was also the first match for both Huo Yuhao and Yu Feng in Shrek Academy's Soul Arena.
Wang Dong had always followed Huo Yuhao closely, but he remained completely silent, neither asking nor saying anything. He knew how Huo Yuhao felt today. Not only could he not become a core disciple, but he also encountered this situation. It was understandable why Huo Yuhao no longer endured it and chose to fight to prove his strength.
Xiao Xiao was no exception. Her eyes were always fixed on Huo Yuhao. In her eyes, this teammate was no longer a youth but a true young man, a young man with the courage to face all challenges. Facing an impossible situation, knowing that he would fail but still fighting, how many people would dare to do that?
"Betting, betting here! I'm the bookmaker, feel free to place your bets. Huo Yuhao, one pays ten. Yu Feng, ten pays one."
Zhou Sichen, a Power Attack System Battle Soul Master with the Martial Soul of the Precious Scroll, suddenly shouted. Teacher Wang Yan had already led Huo Yuhao and Yu Feng into the Soul Fighting Ring, so no one was managing them here anymore.
"I bet one hundred gold soul coins on Yu Feng."
Dai Huabin was the first to speak, then walked up to Zhou Sichen and took out a heavy money bag.
Zhou Sichen's facial muscles twitched slightly. He said tremblingly, "Isn't that a bit too cruel?"
Dai Huabin said disdainfully, "You dare to be a bookmaker but don't have the courage to collect money? If not, then don't open a betting game."
Zhou Sichen, provoked by Dai Huabin's words, said angrily, "Accept it then, am I afraid of you? If you win, I'll just pay you ten gold soul coins, right? Anyone else? I'll accept any amount."
However, what happened next made him want to cry. Most of the disciples who came to bet placed their bets on Yu Feng. The difference in strength between the two was too great. No one fundamentally thought highly of Huo Yuhao, and even if the odds were high, no one was interested in betting.
Zhou Sichen's face grew increasingly grim, but he had already spoken so boldly, how could he back out now? Just as Zhou Sichen's face was almost as black as the bottom of a pot, a voice rang out, filling his heart with immense joy.
"I bet on Huo Yuhao, one thousand gold soul coins."
The person who came before him and presented an exquisitely crafted gold soul coin was Wang Dong.
Xiao Xiao followed Wang Dong and also presented an identical gold soul coin.
"I'll also bet one thousand."
After hearing the two of them speak, Zhou Sichen was like a drowning man grasping at a straw. The total amount of money other disciples had bet was exactly two thousand gold soul coins, equal to the amount from Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao. In other words, if Huo Yuhao lost, the bookmaker wouldn't lose a single coin. He had finally overcome this difficult hurdle. (DG: Is the author mistaken? If they bet 2k, he only has to pay 200. He'd still make a huge profit...)
"We'll bet fifty gold soul coins on Huo Yuhao."
Two clear voices rang out simultaneously, startling Chu Sichen. He hadn't expected anyone else to dare bet on Huo Yuhao. He looked up and saw two people approaching from behind Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao. They were none other than the sisters Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo.
The two sisters smiled and greeted Wang Dong, then took out fifty gold soul coins.
"I'll also bet fifty gold soul coins."
Another voice sounded, this time making Chu Sichen's eyes widen. Because this person was his good brother, Cao Jinxuan, who possessed the Radiant Flame Bell martial soul. In the battle against Huo Yuhao and his two companions, this person had been knocked unconscious by a Soul Shock before he even had a chance to use his soul skills.
"Jinxuan, what are you doing?" Chu Sichen asked suspiciously.
Cao Jinxuan smiled and said, "I know you have money. Can't I bet a little?"
Chu Sichen asked again, still suspicious, "I don't believe it. You've never done anything unprofitable before."
Cao Jinxuan looked around and said, "Why do you care? I'm only betting fifty gold soul coins; it's not much. However, let me remind you, if Huo Yuhao happens to win, you'll go bankrupt. A one-to-ten payout means two thousand gold soul coins becomes twenty thousand. Do you have that much money?"
"Uh..."
Hearing his good brother's reminder, cold sweat immediately broke out on Chu Sichen's forehead. That's right, what if Huo Yuhao won? Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao each bet a thousand, multiplied by ten... Oh my god, that's a terrifying number!
"Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, do you two want to reduce your bets a little?"
Wang Dong said, "You can take whatever amount you want. We trust Yuhao. I'm not afraid of losing, so what are you afraid of?"
After saying that, he and Xiao Xiao found an empty spot and sat down.
Looking at their backs, Chu Sichen angrily said, "Hmph, let's see how you cry when you lose. It would be strange if Huo Yuhao could beat Yu Feng. The difference is too great. However, I think I might have overbet on this ratio. If only I had exercised a little restraint, I would have made some profit."
Cao Jinxuan patted his shoulder and said sympathetically, "Impulsiveness is the devil!"
While they were making a ruckus in the stands, Huo Yuhao and Yu Feng had already entered the Soul Dueling Arena. For safety, Wang Yan personally served as their referee today.
As soon as they entered the Soul Dueling Arena, Wang Yan said seriously, "I'll remind you one more time: this is just a sparring match. You can attack freely, but you absolutely must not cripple your opponent or anything similar. Understand? If I see one side has an absolute advantage, I will immediately stop the match."
Huo Yuhao and Yu Feng nodded simultaneously. Yu Feng confidently said, "Teacher Wang, do you mean you want the match to end just a few seconds after it begins?"
After saying that, she turned and walked straight onto the arena floor. Although she was only twelve years old, Yu Feng had clearly matured earlier than girls her age, with a tall and pretty figure. However, her personality was even more savage than ordinary male students.
Huo Yuhao also slowly walked out. Wang Yan turned and quietly instructed, "If you feel you can't do it, don't force yourself. Sometimes, enduring is not weakness."
Huo Yuhao felt Wang Yan's concern for him, so he turned and nodded, then slowly retreated. He knew Wang Yan's words were well-intentioned, but he had already made up his mind and would definitely not back down.
A moment later, the distance between the two sides had stretched to about a hundred meters.
Wang Yan stood in the middle, arms outstretched. Seeing that both were ready, he clapped loudly and simultaneously shouted:
"Begin!"
Yu Feng moved in a flash. Her red hair, under her lightning-fast speed, looked like a streak of red light flying towards Huo Yuhao. Her slender legs took long strides, covering more than ten meters in an instant.
Although she was running like crazy, patches of dragon scales appeared on her body, exuding a powerful pressure even from a distance.
What astonished the onlookers was that Huo Yuhao remained completely still, even closing his eyes and standing in place as if meditating.
The stands were completely silent. Everyone focused on observing the developments on the arena floor. Among the most focused, besides Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, was naturally the "bookmaker," Zhou Sichen.
Cao Jinxuan was also intently watching the arena, but unlike most people there, he wasn't looking at Yu Feng. Instead, he focused all his attention on Huo Yuhao, not missing a single one of his movements.
Just as Zhou Sichen had said, Cao Jinxuan's bet on Huo Yuhao was not an impulsive decision, nor was it driven by greed for the high odds. He had his own intentions.
Within Zhou Sichen's team, the central figure was actually Cao Jinxuan. His Martial Soul, "Guang Ran Ran Zhong," was an extremely rare Tool Martial Soul that allowed him to control the flow of time. Their team's continuous victories, leading them into the top four, were largely due to Cao Jinxuan's efforts. Furthermore, both he and Huo Yuhao were Control-type Soul Masters, so he had a deeper understanding than others.
In their previous match, he didn't even have time to use a single Soul Skill. Many attributed this to Wang Dong's contribution. But Cao Jinxuan himself was absolutely certain that it was a form of mental attack. Even with Wang Dong's assistance, the main attacker was still Huo Yuhao. More importantly, he had prepared to counter this long-range attack skill. The atmosphere around him at that time had been distorted in all directions, a detail very difficult to perceive with the naked eye. However, while Guang Ran Ran Zhong could distort time, it couldn't block Huo Yuhao's mental probing. Thus, Huo Yuhao achieved his goal with just one move, leaving him no chance to retaliate. This made Cao Jinxuan even more interested in Huo Yuhao.
He was a very curious person. Huo Yuhao only had a ten-year Soul Ring, so he truly wanted to know how Huo Yuhao had attacked. He should only have one Soul Skill; could it possibly have two uses? But a Soul Skill with two uses could only come from a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring...
Therefore, even though everyone else thought Huo Yuhao would lose, he thought the opposite. In fact, his confidence in Huo Yuhao was even greater than that of Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao. Sometimes, an opponent understands you better than your closest teammates.
On the arena floor, the distance between the two grew shorter and shorter. Yu Feng, seeing Huo Yuhao completely motionless, became even more vigilant. She had calculated that she only needed to avoid that mental attack skill. But in reality, apart from Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, no one could have guessed that Huo Yuhao's primary and most frequently used Soul Skill was actually Spiritual Detection.
Seeing the distance between them narrow to less than five meters, Yu Feng stomped one foot on the ground to propel herself forward. Her entire body now resembled a sharp arrow, shooting straight towards Huo Yuhao.
At the same time, Huo Yuhao finally took action. He sidestepped to the left, evading Yu Feng's attack, and simultaneously kicked her in the abdomen.
As Yu Feng flew in, she saw this and raised both hands, bringing them down on Huo Yuhao's shoulders. Thanks to his Spiritual Detection, Huo Yuhao was already perfectly clear on her trajectory, so as soon as she prepared her move, he had already dodged in another direction. His right leg then delivered another kick, landing precisely on Yu Feng's weakest defensive point.
Although Yu Feng had great confidence in her abilities, she was now extremely uncomfortable. She absolutely did not want to be hit by Huo Yuhao. At this moment, she could only try her best to twist her body in mid-air, but her flight path was already set; how could she change it?
Unexpectedly, Huo Yuhao's kick suddenly paused in mid-air. His left foot stepped forward about half a meter, and only then did his right foot deliver the kick, unexpectedly striking Yu Feng's raised buttocks.
On the human body, the buttocks are almost the central position, so when she was hit, her center of gravity was immediately disrupted. Yu Feng, who was trying to twist her body in the air, also let out a startled cry. Her left hand braced against the ground; she wanted to find support to regain control of her body. However, after delivering the kick, Huo Yuhao immediately changed his movement. His left foot touched the ground, and he used the momentum to leap away from Yu Feng. From the beginning until now, his eyes had been tightly shut, yet he was even clearer about everything happening around him than if he had observed with both eyes.
Just as Yu Feng's left hand touched the ground, Huo Yuhao arrived again. His right foot took a long stride forward, his kicking leg changed to his left, and he delivered a direct kick to Yu Feng's slender waist.
Yu Feng, of course, could not let him attack her so easily. She quickly raised her right knee, kicking straight at Huo Yuhao's left leg. Her left hand, still braced on the ground, used the supporting force to propel her body upwards. Her entire being shot up like a flash of lightning, and her left leg kicked forcefully towards Huo Yuhao.
In her anger and shame, she put all her strength into this kick. Although she did not use any Soul Skills, in a state where her Martial Soul was active, a kick from a Great Soul Master could not be underestimated.
It was just that Yu Feng made a mistake once again. Huo Yuhao's left leg unexpectedly retracted, and at the same time, he bent down to dodge Yu Feng's kick. His entire body, following the momentum, lunged towards her, and both hands struck Yu Feng's back.
