Running for Class Officer

The three of them started chatting.

They talked about everything under the sun, and then, someone brought up the soul bone from earlier.

Huo Yuxi couldn't help but frown when she heard "Secret Method Soul Left Arm Bone."

Xiao Xiao was the first to notice her expression wasn't right and asked, "Yuxi, what's wrong?"

"I've read about this type of soul bone in books. On the Douluo Continent, there's a relatively simple way to obtain soul bones."

"That is, within an hour, kill a hundred soul beasts of any kind, then use a secret method to ignite their soul rings. There's a 10% chance of obtaining a Secret Method Soul soul bone."

"But because the method is too cruel, the success rate is low, and it's quite dangerous to absorb, very few soul masters do this."

"Ah? If that's the case, wasn't it very dangerous for your brother when he absorbed it?" Xiao Xiao worried.

Huo Yuxi scratched her head. "It might not be that dangerous. Since Teacher Zhou gave it to you, he must have had a plan. Sometimes what's written in books might not be entirely accurate."

"Yuxi."

At this moment, Huo Yuhao returned, looking very happy. Huo Yuxi took a closer look and noticed a black necklace around his neck.

She reached out and picked it up. The pendant was a dark gold plaque made of some unknown metal, with complex patterns on it.

"Brother, what is this?"

"This is kind of like a pass for the Outer Court of the Soul Tool Department. Teacher Fan Yu gave it to me; he's taking me as his disciple."

"He also recommended me to be a core disciple of the Soul Tool Department."

Huo Yuxi thought that the Soul Tool Department was even better than the Martial Soul Department. Not only did they promise more resources, but their actions were also fairer.

"By the way, Wang Dong, I'm now a core disciple of the Soul Tool Department, so it's not convenient for me to be seen around Director Du. Teacher Zhou said to ask you to inquire about the specific effects of our Martial Soul Fusion Technique."

"Alright," Wang Dong nodded.

Actually, whether Huo Yuhao was a core disciple of the Soul Tool Department or not, he was willing to ask. If he were in the same situation, he wouldn't be happy to see Du Weilun either.

Huo Yuxi also told Huo Yuhao about the soul bone. After receiving his assurance, she stopped worrying about it.

Afternoon.

When Wang Yan returned to the classroom that morning, he had intended to hold the class officer elections, but they couldn't be held because Huo Yuhao was absent.

During the afternoon class, Huo Yuhao returned to the fold, and the elections would proceed.

With over sixty students in Class One, consisting of both Attack and Control type soul masters, two class leaders would be chosen to ensure fairness, with one from the Attack type and one from the Control type.

Unlike Wang Yan, Zhou Yi didn't give them any chance to choose. She directly wrote Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao's names on the blackboard.

"The Control type class leader for our class is Huo Yuhao, and the Attack type class leader is Wang Dong. We will now begin the lesson."

The original students of Class One were fine with it, as Huo Yuhao had been their class leader before. However, the students who were transferred over were not happy.

Especially those who had lost to them.

"Is this predetermined? Why?" Wu Feng, who was sitting behind Dai Huabin, stood up directly and questioned Zhou Yi.

"Because I am the teacher, and the homeroom teacher of this class." Without any other embellishments, Zhou Yi herself exuded an aura of deterrence.

"I'm not convinced. Huo Yuhao is just a One-Ring Soul Master, and the weakest at that, a ten-year cultivation. Isn't every student in this class stronger than him? Isn't Huo Yuxi a Three-Ring Soul Elder, and she's also a Control type. Why choose the weakest one? Isn't this predetermined?"

Zhou Yi was clearly at the end of her patience and was about to tell someone to get out and run laps when Huo Yuhao spoke first.

"What do you want then?"

"If you have the ability, defeat me. Otherwise, if you are the class leader, I will never be convinced. As long as you are the class leader of Class One, I will target you every day."

"What kind of ability does he have? I'll fight you," Wang Dong also stood up from her seat and faced her directly.

"Bang!" Zhou Yi slammed her palm on the podium. "What do you think this place is, that you can do whatever you want?"

"Teacher, I am willing to accept Wu Feng's challenge."

Huo Yuhao knew that not many people in this class respected him. If he backed down this time, he would never be able to hold his head up in this class again. Therefore, even if he lost, he had to lose with dignity.

The students in the classroom thought they were hallucinating, as the difference in their strength was not small. They unanimously believed that Huo Yuhao's championship was entirely due to Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao.

Since the parties involved had agreed, Zhou Yi naturally had nothing more to say. She immediately took all the students to the Douluo Zone and paid the fees.

Huo Yuxi tightly gripped Huo Yuhao's wrist, as if trying to give him more strength. Wu Feng was an Attack type Battle Soul Master with the best soul ring configuration. The gap in strength between them was too vast, with Huo Yuhao being a Control type soul master with no offensive capabilities.

But Huo Yuhao knew in his heart that even if he successfully became a core disciple of the Soul Tool Department, those questioning voices would still exist. Many people would still believe in their hearts that his championship was obtained through unfair means.

Therefore, this time, he had to accept the challenge.

"Let's bet, let's bet! I'm the bookie. Huo Yuhao is ten to one, Wu Feng is one to ten. Come and place your bets!" Zhou Sichen shouted loudly after settling in.

"Ten gold soul coins, I bet on Wu Feng."

"Wu Feng, one hundred gold soul coins."

One after another, everyone bet on Wu Feng. Zhou Sichen started counting on his fingers, his face turning pale.

"I bet on Huo Yuhao, one thousand gold soul coins."

"Me too, one thousand."

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao's voices, like a salvation, reached him, and Zhou Sichen nearly knelt down. "You have good taste. I also believe Huo Yuhao has a chance to win."

Huo Yuxi pouted. This person's words were truly interesting. He'd offered odds of ten to one against Huo Yuhao earlier, and now he was saying he favored him.

Zhou Sichen didn't see any problem with it. He believed in saying whatever people wanted to hear. If you wanted to make money, you had to do it this way!

Later, the sisters Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, along with his good friend Cao Jinxuan, joined this group, leaving him in a state of shock and uncertainty.

"Xixi, your brother will definitely win. You should bet on him too," Xiao Xiao said, pressing a bag of money into her hand.

At this moment, Huo Yuxi didn't stand on ceremony. Whether Huo Yuhao would win or not wasn't important anymore; what mattered was saving face.

The compensation for emotional distress she had received from that ugly old man last time should be worth something, enough to give to Xiao Xiao as well.

"I bet fifty gold soul coins on Huo Yuhao."

There were no other spectators for today's soul duel. Zhou Yi personally served as their referee, and Wang Yan, having heard the news, also rushed over to watch.

"This is just a spar. You are absolutely not allowed to cripple your opponent during the match. If there is any intentional injury, you will get out of my class. Do you understand?"

Huo Yuhao and Wu Feng both nodded and stepped back. The battle officially commenced.

Wu Feng's Martial Soul was the Red Dragon. Whether it was strength, speed, flexibility, or physical fitness, she far surpassed Huo Yuhao. She was quite disdainful and directly chose to engage in close combat.

Everyone present believed this match would end quickly. After all, Huo Yuhao, as a control-type Soul Master, was choosing to engage in a style of combat he was least skilled at.

Huo Yuxi had confidence in Huo Yuhao, but that didn't mean she could stand by indifferently when she saw him getting beaten.

Huo Yuhao was using almost all of the Tang Sect's secret techniques. The gap was evident, and he dared not slacken his efforts at all.

Facing Wu Feng's attack again, his eyes turned golden yellow – Mental Interference. His palms also became like profound jade – Controlling Crane Catching Dragon.

Wu Feng suddenly felt her mind go blank, and then she was sent flying out of the battle platform by a palm strike from Huo Yuhao. With a "wow," she spat out a mouthful of blood.
