Try Me

Wang Dong did not answer Huo Yuhao's question. Instead, she looked at Jiang Yuheng, who had long since been dumbfounded.

For some reason, Wang Dong felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with this boy. But she had never met him before. What was going on?

As if sensing Wang Dong's gaze, Jiang Yuheng hurriedly snapped out of his daze. Forcefully suppressing the excitement and nervousness in his heart, he led Huo Yuhao to the dormitory door.

He took the initiative to greet her. "Hello, my name is Jiang Yuheng. If I'm not mistaken, you should be my roommate."

Wang Dong ignored him and instead carefully sized up Jiang Yuheng before her.

Hmm, he was as handsome as This Lord, and he had cleaned the dormitory well enough. He looked like a neat and capable person.

"Not bad. Since you cleaned the dormitory well enough, This Lord will allow you to live with me for now. I have a few rules that you must remember!"

"First, you are not allowed to casually bring people back to the dormitory. Second, don't walk around naked in the dormitory and disgust people. Third, you are not allowed to snore at night. Fourth, don't disturb me. Fifth, from now on, you will handle all the dormitory cleaning, but you are not allowed to touch my bedding. Do you understand?"

Seeing Wang Dong's lofty manner, Jiang Yuheng likewise leaned against the railing and challenged her. "Why should I listen to you?"

Wang Dong rolled her wrists. "If you don't listen, I'll beat you out of here. Try me if you don't believe it."

At those words, anger immediately surged in Huo Yuhao's heart. He had been bullied by the people of the Duke's Mansion since childhood, and what he hated most were people who acted so high and mighty.

"What is wrong with you—"

"It's fine. That's just her personality." Jiang Yuheng patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder. "Hey, let's go. Didn't you want to spar?"

Hearing that form of address, Wang Dong shot him a deeply displeased look. "What do you mean, 'hey, hey, hey'? This Lord is called Wang Dong. Remember that!"

Jiang Yuheng replied as if it were only natural, "I'm not you, so of course I'll remember it clearly."

"You bastard! If I don't beat you out of Shrek Academy today, This Lord won't be called Wang Dong!" Wang Dong clenched her fists and pointed at him aggressively.

Jiang Yuheng could not help but snort with laughter. How could my Dong'er be this cute?

"Come on, idiot. Didn't you want a one-on-one duel?" he urged, taking the lead as he headed outside.

At that insult, Wang Dong bristled like an enraged kitten and glared fiercely at Jiang Yuheng.

Damn you, Jiang Yuheng. This Lord will beat you until you can't take care of yourself!

Shrek Academy covered an enormous area, with wide spaces separating every building. After the three of them left the dormitory, Wang Dong stopped directly in the open space outside and crooked a finger at Jiang Yuheng.

"Hmph. Try me."

Upon hearing those long-awaited English words, Jiang Yuheng lowered his head, the smile at the corners of his mouth no longer suppressible.

When he raised his head again, his expression had returned to calm. He spoke the line he had prepared for so long. "Come on, baby."

The flames of anger blazed fiercely within Wang Dong's heart. As the Young Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect, as one of Heaven's Chosen, she did not possess Huo Yuhao's calmness.

The moment she saw his provocation, she charged without the slightest hesitation. Wang Dong was not only extremely fast, but also exceptionally agile. In the blink of an eye, she arrived before Jiang Yuheng, raised her right leg, and stomped directly at his chest.

Faced with this, Jiang Yuheng remained unruffled. Deep Blue shadows flickered in his eyes, as though he had foreseen it in advance. With only a slight sidestep, he avoided Wang Dong's attack.

At the same time, his voice sounded in Huo Yuhao's mind.

Watch carefully. Learn carefully.

Huo Yuhao had just been about to step in and help, but upon hearing Jiang Yuheng's voice, he immediately understood his intent. Jiang Yuheng wanted him to learn evasion techniques, to learn how to deal with Assault System Battle Soul Masters in the future.

At the dormitory entrance, Mu En, who was reclining in a chair, slightly raised his head. A curious gleam flashed through his dim yellow eyes as he watched Jiang Yuheng and Wang Dong with great interest.

One had excellent timing, while the other possessed evasion techniques that could be called genius-level. If the two of them were placed on the same team, there would probably be few in the entire New Student grade capable of matching them.

"Hey, Jiang Yuheng, what kind of man are you if all you do is dodge? Do you dare face me head-on in a one-on-one duel?"

Wang Dong was beside herself with anger. This Jiang Yuheng was as slippery as a loach.

No matter how she attacked or predicted his movements, it was as if he already knew everything in advance. He could evade without expending much effort at all.

Meanwhile, she was like a clown being toyed with, exhausting herself for nothing.

"Wang Dong, how about we use our Martial Souls? That way, we can be a little faster," Jiang Yuheng kindly suggested.

"No need!"

With that, Wang Dong accelerated again and charged toward Jiang Yuheng.

Her personality was exceptionally proud and stubborn.

Besides, dealing with a bastard like him did not require her Martial Soul at all. She only needed to increase her speed and intensify her attacks, and she would definitely be able to deal with Jiang Yuheng.

Unfortunately, reality was always far crueler than imagination. After several rounds of attrition, Wang Dong had clearly spent more than half her stamina. Sweat visibly ran down her forehead.

Jiang Yuheng's performance remained steady. Though he had begun to pant as well, he had conserved far more stamina than Wang Dong.

Yet strangely, throughout their exchange, he had not launched a single attack. He had only chosen to evade.

This left the observing Huo Yuhao confused.

He had spent a full six years with Jiang Yuheng. It could be said that they knew each other's fighting styles inside out.

Jiang Yuheng normally had an excellent grasp of combat timing. Anyone who fought him usually could not last more than six exchanges; regardless of what type of soul master they were, he would defeat them in a single move.

But this time, he had not chosen the fighting style he knew best. Instead, he had stubbornly chosen to evade, and Huo Yuhao could not understand why.

Was he holding back?

But holding back required a reason. They did not even know this Wang Dong.

Just as Huo Yuhao was utterly baffled, Jiang Yuheng suddenly changed tactics.

The instant Wang Dong charged over, Jiang Yuheng abruptly turned around. A deep-blue dragon, its entire body suffused with an icy blue hue and radiating an aura of extreme cold, slowly emerged behind him. With just one glance, Wang Dong was completely stunned.

At that moment, Jiang Yuheng grabbed Wang Dong's arm, judged the force precisely, and flung her out without hesitation.

But to his surprise, Wang Dong, who should have recovered immediately, remained in her stunned state.

Not good!

Jiang Yuheng's gaze sharpened. A faint blue flash streaked across his right arm, and then, as if he had used teleportation, he appeared in front of Wang Dong in the blink of an eye, swiftly switching their positions.

Such astonishing speed even left Mu En, who had been ready to intervene and save someone, startled.

This little fellow's speed was unbelievably fast...
