Second Soul Skill: White Tiger Blazing Light Wave!

Huo Yuhao dodged repeatedly, and the moment he stepped out and closed the dormitory door, the door was blasted to pieces.

The commotion of the fight naturally alarmed everyone in the New Student Dormitory Building. Mu En opened one eye, and after recognizing Huo Yuhao, he curled his lip. "What a little fellow who can't keep things peaceful."

At the same time, Huo Yuhao leaped down from the second floor, landed steadily, and faced Dai Huabin head-on.

Huo Yuhao said, "The academy rules state that deliberately damaging academy property requires compensation."

"After I teach you a lesson, I'll pay up myself!" Dai Huabin activated his White Tiger Martial Soul Possession, his muscles bulging, a king character appearing on his forehead, and his flowing golden hair instantly turning starkly black and white.

"Roar—"

Dai Huabin let out a low growl and charged like a fierce tiger descending a mountain.

But following that, Huo Yuhao's eyes were quickly replaced by gray. Beneath his feet, a white, a purple, and a ten-thousand-year soul ring appeared. The moment they emerged, some of the new students watching from the dormitory building had already recognized Huo Yuhao's identity.

When Dai Huabin saw Huo Yuhao's Soul Ring Configuration, he nearly thought he was seeing things. Soon, a look of terror spread across his face as he realized he couldn't move.

Huo Yuhao's First Soul Ring spun faster, and a massive Time Grinding Mill materialized behind Dai Huabin.

Dai Huabin's entire body was completely adsorbed onto the Time Grinding Mill. The hour, minute, and second hands all froze at the twelve o'clock position. As Huo Yuhao's soul skill activated, the second hand fell clockwise for an instant, and a portion of Dai Huabin's hair was sliced off, the black-and-white strands drifting to the ground.

In that moment, Dai Huabin felt death was so close.

Huo Yuhao clapped his hands, the Time Roulette vanished, and the pupils in his eyes merged into one.

"You lost. Move out of the dormitory. This room is mine now." Huo Yuhao coldly looked at Dai Huabin. This man before him had ordered servants to beat his mother. Back then, Huo Yuhao's soul was still slumbering, trapped in a state of idiocy, unable to stop any of it.

What Huo Yuhao had just used was one of the First Soul Skills of his Time Eye Martial Soul: Years Erasure!

Combined with Time Freeze, it pinned a person dead on the Time Roulette. The second hand was like a guillotine blade. The moment it fell, Dai Huabin's life and death were entirely in Huo Yuhao's control.

Huo Yuhao's current maximum soul ring age was 6,000 Years, something Dai Huabin's mere century-level soul skills couldn't shake.

Dai Huabin stared blankly as Huo Yuhao walked away, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes. Since childhood, he had been a genius in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. Even his Big Brother, Dai Yueheng, hadn't broken through to three rings at his age.

Now, humiliated in front of all the new students, Dai Huabin was furious, feeling he had lost all face.

Once upon a time, Dai Huabin believed he should be the top new student and the best among his peers.

Yet on the very first day, Dai Huabin suffered a crushing defeat.

"Third Soul Skill: White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"

Dai Huabin's whole body flashed with golden light, his aura rising step by step, soon overwhelming Huo Yuhao's. The powerful presence shook everyone watching from upstairs.

Huo Yuhao didn't even turn his head. His formidable Mental Power swept across the scene. Dai Huabin's body stiffened slightly, his eyes bloodshot. In his extreme rage, he broke through the Time Barrier and started forming a White Tiger Blazing Light Wave, intending to blast Huo Yuhao to pieces.

A cold light flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes. He charged straight at Dai Huabin, meeting the White Tiger Blazing Light Wave head-on. His right hand flipped into a palm strike, a trace of Cold Air covering it.

The White Tiger Blazing Light Wave's Attack Power was indeed strong, especially with the White Tiger Vajra Transformation's boost, but the Soul Bone in Huo Yuhao's right arm was no pushover.

The White Tiger Blazing Light Wave was forcibly crushed. When Huo Yuhao reached Dai Huabin, a pale yellow barrier appeared.

It was the First Soul Skill: White Tiger Body Protection Barrier.

Crack, crack. Visible to the eye, the White Tiger Body Protection Barrier shattered into pieces. It held for only a moment before Huo Yuhao's palm strike landed on Dai Huabin's chest. A mouthful of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth and finally sprayed out.

Huo Yuhao hadn't used Emperor Palm: Great Cold No Snow; otherwise, Dai Huabin would have been dead for sure.

"Judging by your clothes, you must come from a noble family. But we commoner children aren't easy to bully either. If you ever dare oppress me with your power again, it won't be as cheap as today."

After warning Dai Huabin, Huo Yuhao turned and left. As he went upstairs, countless new students stared at him with shining eyes. The strong earn respect—that's an unchanging rule since ancient times.

Dai Huabin tried to get up, but the next second, he spat blood again because he saw Huo Yuhao throw all his luggage downstairs and add, "Don't forget to pay for the door."

"You!!!" Dai Huabin's eyes were bloodshot, his glare furious, but he had no way to deal with Huo Yuhao at all.

This was Shrek Academy. No one had ever dared to cause trouble here.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Mu En's mouth. He turned toward the sun, squinting slightly. The sun was about to set. He had to soak up as much as he could while the weather was good.

Huo Yuhao returned to his room. The pent-up frustration in his chest was released, and his whole person felt a few degrees more relaxed.

Huo Yuhao picked up a washbasin, filled it with clean water, and began wiping every corner of the dormitory.

Half an hour later, the room was spotless, reflecting light under the sunlight.

Huo Yuhao smiled. This room was finally livable. Soon, the person repairing the door arrived. After some hammering and banging, a new door was installed.

Just then, the sun set behind the western mountains. The Sea God Lake was coated in a layer of Pale Gold under the twilight glow.

Qian Renxue walked across the waves and met up with Huo Yuhao, who was sitting in a pavilion.

Huo Yuhao faced Qian Renxue and teased, "I never would have guessed, Older Sister. You became an Inner Courtyard Disciple so fast!"

"I didn't expect it to go so smoothly either. Those exam teachers, once they saw my Six Winged Angel Martial Soul, Dean Yan let me pass directly. So I got into the Inner Courtyard without trouble." Qian Renxue hadn't thought the Inner Courtyard would be so easy to enter.

But after truly entering the Inner Courtyard, Qian Renxue understood what real geniuses were. Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan had a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, and there were Han Ruoruo, Golden Crow Leftover Woman, and a host of other exceptionally talented Female Students. Qian Renxue actually felt a hint of pressure.

"Let's not talk about me for now. I heard the new students are in an uproar. That son of the White Tiger Duke, Dai What's-his-name, went to find Dai Yueheng from the Inner Courtyard to complain. But Dai Yueheng just slapped him and said, 'You're wasting my training time.' Apparently, he's his Big Brother."

"Do you know about this?" Qian Renxue asked.

"I know. I'm the one who beat Dai Huabin." Huo Yuhao said it understated.

"Do you have a grudge against him?"

Through their days together, Qian Renxue's relationship with Huo Yuhao had increasingly developed like siblings. She knew Huo Yuhao's temper well—he wouldn't hit someone for no reason.

"He's my enemy. My mother died because of him." Huo Yuhao's eyes drooped, his mood somber.

Qian Renxue frowned slightly after hearing this. "What exactly happened?"
