Conflict

"If I refuse to do as you say?"

"Then I'll beat you out!"

Lin Yun, who had been cultivating, slowly opened his eyes upon hearing the commotion next door. A peculiar smile curled across his lips.

It was here, it was here—the first battle that would make Huo Yuhao famous!

If he didn't go watch the excitement now, then when would he?!

The moment he opened his door, Lin Yun saw an enraged Huo Yuhao and a proud, puffed-up goose preparing to head outside and settle things with a fight.

The clock turned back a few minutes.

Preoccupied with his worries, Huo Yuhao arrived at Dorm 108 and found its door already open. He walked straight in, only to see a handsome youth with medium-length pink-blue hair, so attractive he could even be called beautiful, sitting on one of the beds.

The youth seemed to be something of a germaphobe, with a blanket laid beneath him where he sat.

It was Wang Dong.

She had actually arrived at the academy yesterday. But upon seeing the filthy dorm room, she had turned around and left, spending the night at a hotel in Shrek City. She had only just returned to the dorm not long ago.

After Huo Yuhao entered, Wang Dong looked at him with a haughty expression, her tone carrying a hint of condescension. "You're my roommate, right? Since the academy arranged it, I can reluctantly allow you to share a dorm with me. But you need to do the following."

"First, clean the dorm. Second, from now on, you'll be responsible for the dorm's hygiene. Third, you may not bring anyone else into the dorm without my permission. Fourth, don't go around naked in the dorm and disgust people. Fifth, don't touch my things."

"That's all for now. I'll add more when I think of them."

Huo Yuhao exploded with anger the moment he heard that.

Having suffered constant bullying in the Duke's Mansion since childhood, his pride was strong to an almost terrifying degree. After coming to Shrek, Huo Yuhao had secretly sworn that he would never allow anyone to bully him again.

Yet before he had even set foot in a classroom, he was already being bullied by his roommate the moment he arrived at the dorm?

Thus came the exchange Lin Yun had heard at the beginning.

"What if I refuse to do as you say?" Huo Yuhao asked, suppressing his fury as his blazing eyes fixed on Wang Dong.

Wang Dong had been slightly intimidated by Huo Yuhao's furious gaze, but when she saw his old, worn-out clothes, washed so many times they had faded white, her eyes regained their contempt. "If you refuse, I'll beat you out! Don't believe me? Try it!"

"Then let's try it. We're going outside!" Huo Yuhao put down his luggage and headed for the door first.

Fighting was forbidden inside the dormitory building, and any property damaged during a fight had to be compensated for.

And the prices...

Even wooden furniture could be priced as if it were made of pure gold studded with diamonds. It was absurdly outrageous.

Huo Yuhao might not have had time to learn about the other school rules, but rules involving compensation were deeply etched into his mind.

There was no other reason.

He couldn't afford it!

"Outside it is, then. Let's go, idiot! Starting tomorrow, there won't be anyone like you in Shrek Academy!" Wang Dong sneered as she followed Huo Yuhao out of the dorm.

Then...

The two of them saw the dorm door directly opposite them open, along with the person stepping out—a young man with medium-length golden hair, sculpted features, and golden eyes that radiated an intense sense of authority.

Most importantly, he was too tall!

There was no need to mention Huo Yuhao. He had been malnourished since childhood and was only twelve years old, so he was not even one meter seventy yet.

Though Wang Dong had developed normally, she was ultimately only disguising herself as a boy. That could not change the fact that she was a girl, and she had only just passed one meter seventy herself.

But Lin Yun was one meter eighty!

Those golden eyes carrying a scrutinizing gaze, coupled with the downward pressure of his height, left Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong frozen in place. For a moment, neither even dared to move carelessly.

Lin Yun was rather surprised. It was understandable for ordinary people to be intimidated by his Dragon's Might, but even Wang Dong, Tang Buddha Ancestor's daughter, was affected by it?

It could only be said that Lin Yun had underestimated the aura of a superior he had cultivated among the soul beasts. Whether in the Star Dou Forest or the Extreme North, he had held the power of life and death as the Co-Lord of Soul Beasts. Though it had only been three short years, he had already begun to display the bearing of a king of ten thousand beasts.

Used to the attitude he took when facing Di Tian, even though Lin Yun was not deliberately showing it, it was still not something children barely in their teens could ignore!

Seeing that the two protagonists did not even dare to move, Lin Yun's lips twitched imperceptibly. After casually closing his door, he walked out first.

He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, these two would not end up fighting at all.

After Lin Yun disappeared around the end of the corridor, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong unexpectedly let out long breaths at the same time.

Huo Yuhao looked at Wang Dong strangely and mocked her, "I thought you were so amazing. So you get scared too? You only dare act tough in front of a soft target like me?"

"Bullshit! Who's scared? This young master isn't afraid of that guy!" Wang Dong shouted sharply in furious embarrassment. "Let's go, right now! This young master will show you how strong I am!"

Thud, thud, thud...

Having had a sore spot struck by Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong stomped heavily toward the outside without looking back.

Though she did not want to admit it, when she met Lin Yun's eyes, Wang Dong had indeed felt an indescribable fear. And now that little emotion had been exposed by Huo Yuhao, someone she had looked down on before. Of course she would fly into a rage from embarrassment.

Huo Yuhao followed behind Wang Dong, though he was no longer as angry as before. His mind was filled with the person he had glimpsed earlier.

That person reminded him of his earlier conversation with Beibei and the others—the Golden Dragon Martial Soul said to possess an Ultimate Attribute, whose owner had already reached thirty-seventh rank Soul Power upon entering the academy.

Huo Yuhao had originally been doubtful, but the moment he saw Lin Yun, he no longer doubted it.

That naturally radiating, intangible authority could not be faked.

However, Huo Yuhao soon stopped thinking about it. No matter how strong someone else was, they were still someone else. He still had a problem in front of him to deal with. Though Wang Dong had indeed been suppressed by Lin Yun, Huo Yuhao did not think his roommate was actually weak.

Compared to one hundred, ten was indeed inferior. But compared to one, ten was far greater.

Huo Yuhao himself was that one. At present, he had no right to look down on anyone.

"Idiot, it's not too late for you to regret this."

The moment Huo Yuhao stepped out of the main entrance, Wang Dong, standing across from him with her arms folded and her face full of arrogance, spoke. That single sentence immediately set Huo Yuhao off again.

"Enough nonsense. If you want to fight, then fight!" Huo Yuhao said in a low voice.

Meanwhile...

Lin Yun leaned against the wall with great interest, watching the two overpowered cheats face off.

"Hehe, little fellow, you seem quite interested in the conflict between those two?" An aged laugh with a slight rasp sounded beside Lin Yun's ear.

It was Mu En.
