Huo Yuhao... Flew?!

Those two—

A flicker of surprise crossed Huo Yuhao's eyes.

The two of them were definitely the most handsome boys he had ever seen. Standing together, they could make plenty of girls feel self-conscious.

And that person—

Huo Yuhao remembered him. He was the guy Huo Yuhao had met once when he and Brother Sky Dream had fused.

After absorbing an unknown, mysterious divine consciousness, that guy had turned down Sister Xiaoya's offer and left on his own.

He hadn't expected to run into him again so soon.

But—the person beside him had just snorted at Huo Yuhao for no reason. Why?

We've never met before. I haven't done anything to you, have I?

Huo Yuhao was baffled, but he didn't speak rashly. He simply nodded slightly at Ao Yao as a greeting.

Brother Sky Dream had said it was best not to provoke that guy if he could help it.

That mysterious divine consciousness had given Brother Sky Dream a dangerous feeling.

Huo Yuhao adjusted his backpack, shifted his step, and gave Mu En, who was reclining in a wicker chair nearby, a slight bow. Then he headed straight into the freshman dormitory.

At this, Mu En lifted his head slightly, a glimmer of interest in his eyes.

Not a bad little fellow.

In all these days, he was the first little fellow to show him such courtesy.

It was a pity his talent was just a little lacking.

Of course, he wasn't the only interesting little fellow here.

Mu En tilted his head, letting his gaze linger on Wang Dong'er for a moment.

As the Sea God Pavilion Master, if he couldn't tell Wang Dong'er's sex, he might as well find a block of tofu and bash his head against it.

He didn't know why Wang Dong'er had disguised herself as a boy to enter the boys' dormitory, but it was her choice, so Mu En naturally had no reason to say anything.

That was what it meant to let go of the urge to help and respect other people's fate, right?

He's just leaving? Hm? This isn't right.

Wang Dong'er and Huo Yuhao's first meeting—and it's ending this blandly?

Before Ao Yao could finish writing what he wanted to say, a loud shout rang out.

The next moment, Huo Yuhao, who had only just entered the freshman dormitory, came flying back out and slammed heavily into the ground.

Ao Yao stared at the scene, stunned, his mind struggling to catch up.

Is this some new kind of stunt? How did he fly right back out?

Hadn't Huo Yuhao just gone in? How had he flown out again in the blink of an eye?

Wang Dong'er, however, didn't seem very surprised. Instead, a hint of satisfaction showed deep in her eyes.

If Ao Yao hadn't been beside her just now, she probably would have wanted to beat Huo Yuhao up herself.

Someone had done what she hadn't managed to do. Who was this hero?

Wang Dong'er curiously glanced toward the entrance of the freshman dormitory. A tall figure had just stepped out.

He had a handsome face, but it seemed covered in frost, and he exuded a coldness that kept people at a distance. His eyes were deep blue, and each had double pupils—a distinctive feature unique to the Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul.

It was none other than the White Tiger Duke's second son, Dai Huabin!

Noticing Ao Yao and Wang Dong'er standing at the entrance, Dai Huabin paused slightly. Then his gaze returned to Huo Yuhao, and he couldn't help finding the situation baffling.

The moment that guy had seen him, he'd gone crazy, pulled out a dagger, and charged straight at him.

Who the hell are you?

We had no grudge between us, and you came at me with a dagger, trying to kill me?

If Dai Huabin hadn't reacted quickly, that guy might have injured him.

At the thought, Dai Huabin's expression darkened. A murderous gleam flashed in his eyes.

Huo Yuhao, meanwhile, climbed to his feet with an unwilling look, clutching the White Tiger Dagger tightly. Hatred gradually surfaced in his eyes.

Dai Huabin—

He would never forget that guy!

One of the culprits who had caused his mother's death!

Who else can relate? I just came downstairs to eat, and now I've got some juicy drama to watch.

The plot's strayed a little from the original, but honestly, it's pretty good.

Dai Huabin definitely counts as one of the main culprits behind Huo Yuhao's mother Huo Yun'er's death. It's only natural that Huo Yuhao reacted this way when he saw him. He just hadn't gauged the difference in their strength, and he didn't know how to bide his time.

So here's the question: Wang Dong'er isn't here to help Huo Yuhao this time, and Dai Huabin obviously won't let him off easily. What's Huo Yuhao going to do now?

Could Wang Dong'er see Dai Huabin picking on Huo Yuhao and step in to help him? The circumstances have changed, but at least things would be back on track. Seriously, that could actually happen!

Me? Help him?

Wang Dong'er scoffed inwardly, showing not the slightest sympathy.

Seeing Huo Yuhao kicked flying by Dai Huabin, she felt nothing but satisfaction. In this situation, not going over to kick him a couple of times was already proof of her kind heart. How could she possibly help him?

"You three together? This guy suddenly rushed at me with a dagger and tried to kill me. You'd better give me an—"

Before Dai Huabin could finish, Ao Yao immediately took a step back.

Wang Dong'er was even more direct. "Sorry, we don't know him. Do as you please."

As she spoke, Wang Dong'er also stepped back, looking like she was enjoying the show.

Huo Yuhao hadn't expected Ao Yao and Wang Dong'er to help him in the first place, but seeing the two of them simply move aside still made the corners of his mouth twitch.

*???*

Things have once again gone completely differently from what I expected. Wang Dong'er actually stepped back without hesitation, too?

At Ao Yao and Wang Dong'er's reaction, Dai Huabin nodded, then turned to Huo Yuhao again, his voice cold. "Kid, you're going to pay for what you just did!"

As he spoke, Dai Huabin strode toward Huo Yuhao. His black-and-white hair stood on end, the character for "king" appeared on his forehead, his muscles bulged and tore through his clothes, and both hands transformed into white-furred tiger paws with icy claws. He leaned forward, and two yellow Soul Rings appeared behind him.

At the sight, Huo Yuhao's heart tightened.

He had just seen the enemy who had caused his mother's death. His blood had surged, and he hadn't managed to hold himself back in time—that was why he had pulled out the White Tiger Dagger and charged.

Now that he had calmed down, Huo Yuhao immediately realized the gap between himself and Dai Huabin.

He had Brother Sky Dream, a Million-Year Soul Ring, but he was still only a Soul Master of rank eleven!

But soon, Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth, his gaze hardening.

Facing his enemy, even if he died, he would tear a piece of flesh from Dai Huabin!

They're fighting, they're fighting!

Now this is exciting!
