Playing Chess with Gods, Entering the Game Himself

He still needed to guard against arrogance and impatience.

What did defeating Wang Dong amount to? So what if he was invincible among those of the same rank?

He had only made a slight move, yet it was already enough to be considered the limit of this level.

But.

Who dared claim invincibility? Who dared say they could never be defeated?

You knew how to fight?

At this stage, what fucking use was being good at fighting?

When making your way in the world, you needed strength, but you also needed backing!

Take Wang Dong's "Call Daddy" divine skill. Behind her stood two Limit Douluo-level combatants, with a God King lying in wait in the shadows.

And in the Original Work, there was no shortage of people who couldn't accept losing a match.

Even near Shrek City, they had dared to use their family influence to regain their dignity. One of them had even directly sent out the family's death warriors.

If Ma Xiaotao had not arrived in time, Huo Yuhao would have nearly been killed while under protection.

Examples of the strong bullying the weak and using power to suppress others were everywhere.

A genius who had not yet grown up could not be considered a true genius.

Huo Yuhao had no intention of gambling his life on something like this.

This was one of the reasons why he had joined Shrek to follow the plot.

Leaving everything else aside, Shrek Academy was relatively protective of its own.

As long as he did not actively court death and kept his distance from a certain Holy Spirit Cult elder, his life would naturally be safe.

Develop quietly. Don't get cocky.

Hmph, it was all that inherently evil God King Tang San's fault!

Sometimes, Huo Yuhao could not help but think how wonderful it would be if he, too, had a God King-level patron behind him.

But cruel reality told him that he probably, perhaps, maybe did not.

God of Destruction, who often made cameo appearances in other novels, had devoted himself to expanding the God Realm. Although his ideals differed from Tang San's, at this point in time, the two had not yet reached the point of irreconcilable conflict.

A scenario like "You Regret Me, God"—which Huo Yuhao would have loved to see—would not happen during the Unrivaled Tang Sect era.

No matter what, Tang San possessed two godhoods and held the position of God Realm Enforcer. He was an exceptionally formidable God King-level combatant.

Coupled with the fact that Douluo Continent was Buddha Tang's happy hometown, his control over it was extremely strong. So long as no one blatantly violated the God Realm's regulations, even Destruction would not casually interfere.

Therefore, breaking out of this situation would be difficult for Huo Yuhao.

The divine path ahead was blocked, while the Buddha hung high above.

Since he could not resist for now, he could only endure for the time being.

If you provoked me, you had truly provoked cotton.

Compared with everyone else, Wang Dong's temperament was actually quite decent.

If not for God King Tang's influence, forming a deep bond with her might truly have been a good choice.

But even if he did not take the initiative now, he still could not escape God King Tang's manipulative hand from behind the scenes.

He might as well seize the opportunity and use the Cultivation Speed Booster to help himself.

Of course, that was under the premise that "Haodong Power" still existed.

Without a one-hundred-percent perfect Martial Soul compatibility, the effect of accelerated cultivation did not seem all that significant.

He could also raise her favorability along the way. When Tang San's outrageous schemes were exposed in the future, perhaps it would make for an episode of truly loving father and dutiful daughter.

As for the Martial Soul Fusion Skill Achievement Task, Wang Dong herself clearly knew absolutely nothing about it.

Even with Spiritual Power as powerful as Huo Yuhao's, during their brief encounter and later "reconciliation handshake," he had only felt a vague premonition.

Only when the Achievement Task appeared before him was his guess completely confirmed.

Judging from Wang Dong's unwillingness to admit defeat just now, her current goal was likely to cultivate seriously and work hard, preparing to win back her dignity someday.

When that desire to strive became strong enough, it would be acknowledged by the system, generating an exclamation mark above her head and waiting for Huo Yuhao to discover it.

Therefore, this task had only been issued after taking Huo Yuhao's circumstances into account.

Besides the Martial Soul Fusion Skill task Wang Dong had just triggered.

Huo Yuhao currently had four other tasks:

Tian Meng's third task: increase Soul Power.

Ice Empress's second task: Search for Snow Empress.

Electrolux's first task: Repair Divine Consciousness.

And the last one came from Dragon God Douluo Mu En, who was lying not far away outside the dormitory and silently watching the battle.

Mu En

Relationship: Acquainted

Achievement Task: Test of Character

Clearly, Huo Yuhao's previous performance in battle, along with the news of Ultimate Ice that he had deliberately released, had stirred the interest of that old man who did not have long to live.

Through Mu En, he could also rapidly strengthen the foundations of his combat power.

As the saying went, relying on others was inferior to relying on oneself. He himself was his greatest backing.

How could he break Tang San's scheme?

Huo Yuhao: Very simple. Wouldn't it be enough for me to become supreme?

Watch me enter the game myself and take half a move against heaven!

"Wha... what the hell was that guy..."

After knocking her to the ground, he had simply patted his ass and left?

After sitting blankly on the ground for a while, Wang Dong stood back up and slowly headed toward the dormitory.

She continued muttering unwillingly, "One day, I'll definitely win back! No matter what method I use..."

When she reached the dormitory entrance, an aged voice sounded beside her. "Child, you truly lost. The gap between you is far too great. No matter how many times you compete, the result will be the same."

"Why?"

Wang Dong suddenly turned toward the old man and stubbornly said, "So what if he has Ultimate Ice? If I used my Soul Skills in combination, I would definitely have a chance."

Besides, there was a trump card she would not casually reveal to the old man before her.

She had Twin Martial Souls!

Her second Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, was hailed as the strongest Tool Martial Soul on Douluo Continent, an existence known as number one in strength.

In this spar, she had merely suffered a disadvantage in Martial Souls.

If she brought out the Clear Sky Hammer, could she really not break that turtle shell?

Wang Dong did not believe it.

Not to mention the many inherited Soul Skills of the Clear Sky Sect.

Hmph, it was only a temporary lead. It meant nothing.

She, Wang Dong, the Young Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect, had a boundless future ahead of her!

The old man sighed and pointed at his chest, where his heart lay.

"Because of what is here. He has the heart of a powerhouse that is neither arrogant nor impatient, but you do not. If you continue maintaining such a proud and contemptuous attitude, I fear you will never catch up to him."

After a moment of silence, Wang Dong gave the old man a deep bow. "Grandpa, thank you for enlightening me."

After Wang Dong left, the old man softly muttered to himself, "Perhaps I should make an exception as well..."

Dormitory 108.

Upon returning to the room, Wang Dong saw that Huo Yuhao had already made his bed and was sitting on it, cultivating.

It was a complete set of fluffy, clean bedding made from the fur of some unknown soul beast. It looked thick and soft.

Wang Dong had wanted to say something to Huo Yuhao, but ultimately held it back. After snorting, she returned to her own bed and prepared to cultivate.

There was no time to mourn the failure of the spar!

Having tasted defeat, she no longer had the mood to keep slacking off.

That unknown old man from the dormitory had been right. The idiot before her did indeed have at least one redeeming quality.

Perhaps that was why he had reached this Soul Power Level at such a young age?

But Wang Dong believed that as long as she began cultivating seriously from now on, everything would get better.

It was only hard work. She could do it too, and she could even do it better!

It was simply that Wang Dong had never experienced the baptism of surfing the internet.

Otherwise, she would definitely have cried out, "Holy shit, what a grindhound!"

Before Wang Dong could enter a meditative state, Huo Yuhao suddenly opened his eyes, climbed down from the bed, and walked straight toward her.

Wang Dong immediately became wary.

"Since we're roommates, we'll use this line down the middle as the boundary. Half for each of us. We'll handle our own cleaning and won't interfere in each other's lives without permission. Any objections?"

Huo Yuhao looked speechless. "Didn't you say at the start that strength should do the talking? Why are you backing down after losing?"

Wang Dong felt displeased and snorted coldly. "I was merely careless. I'll win back in the future."

Huo Yuhao shook his head and continued approaching.

Watching Huo Yuhao draw closer and closer, Wang Dong squirmed backward farther and farther until her body pressed against the wall. She crossed her arms over her chest in a defensive posture.

"What are you trying to do? I'm warning you, just because you won this spar doesn't mean you can casually break my rules. At most, at most, I can allow you to snore when you sleep..."

Huo Yuhao did not respond and continued walking at an unhurried pace.

"You idiot, if you come any closer, I'll scream for someone!"

At this moment, Wang Dong had none of her earlier arrogant bearing left.

Ever since she had met this guy today, everything had gone wrong.

It was as though she had been cursed into such terrible luck.

Could it be that the perfect disguise she had achieved through the Clear Sky Sect Secret Technique had been suspected? That should not be possible!

Or was this idiot that kind of person?

A grave crisis!!
