Huo Yuhao Revealed His True Feelings

Second Soul Skill, White Tiger Blazing Light Wave!

Huo Yuhao darted away again and again. The moment he stepped out of the dormitory and the door closed behind him, it was blasted to pieces.

The commotion naturally alerted everyone in the New Student Dormitory Building. Mu En opened one eye, saw that it was Huo Yuhao, and pursed his lips. "What a little troublemaker."

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

Huo Yuhao said, "The academy rules state that anyone who deliberately damages academy property has to pay for it."

"I'll teach you a lesson first, then I'll pay for the damage!" Dai Huabin activated his White Tiger Martial Soul. His muscles bulged, a king-shaped marking appeared on his forehead, and his flowing blond hair instantly turned stark black and white.

"Roar—"

Dai Huabin let out a low growl and pounced like a ferocious tiger descending from the mountain.

But in the next instant, Huo Yuhao's eyes quickly turned gray. The moment the white, purple, and ten-thousand-year Soul Rings appeared beneath his feet, some of the new students watching from the New Student Dormitory Building had already recognized him.

When Dai Huabin saw Huo Yuhao's Soul Ring Configuration, he nearly thought his eyes were deceiving him. Then, horror spread across his face as he realized he couldn't move.

Huo Yuhao's First Soul Ring began to spin faster, and a massive Time Grinding Mill appeared behind Dai Huabin.

Dai Huabin was completely pinned to the Time Grinding Mill. The hour, minute, and second hands all stopped at twelve. As Huo Yuhao's Soul Skill activated, the second hand moved clockwise—and a section of Dai Huabin's hair was sliced off, falling to the ground in black-and-white strands.

At that moment, Dai Huabin felt death drawing terrifyingly close.

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

"You lost. Move out of the dormitory. This room is mine now." Huo Yuhao stared coldly at Dai Huabin. This was the person who had ordered his servants to beat his mother. Back then, Huo Yuhao's soul was still dormant, and he was still mired in that foolish state, unable to stop it from happening.

What Huo Yuhao had just used was one of the First Soul Skill's abilities from the Time Eye Martial Soul: Years Erasure!

Combined with Time Freeze, it had trapped a person on the Time Roulette. The second hand was like a guillotine, and when it had fallen just now, Dai Huabin's life had been in Huo Yuhao's hands.

Huo Yuhao's most powerful Soul Ring was currently only six thousand years old. Dai Huabin's mere hundred-year Soul Skill was no match for it.

Dai Huabin stared blankly as Huo Yuhao walked away, his eyes filled with murderous intent. Since childhood, he had been a prodigy in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. Even his eldest brother, Dai Yueheng, hadn't reached the three-ring level at Dai Huabin's age.

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

There had been a time when Dai Huabin thought he should be the top new student—and the best among his peers, too.

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

"Third Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"

Golden light shimmered across Dai Huabin's body as his aura surged, quickly overwhelming Huo Yuhao's. His powerful presence shook everyone watching from the upper floors.

Huo Yuhao didn't even turn around. His immense Mental Power swept across the area. Dai Huabin's body stiffened slightly, and his eyes turned bloodshot. Enraged beyond reason, he broke through the Time Barrier, raised his hand to launch the White Tiger Blazing Light Wave, and tried to blast Huo Yuhao to pieces.

A cold glint flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes. He charged straight into the White Tiger Blazing Light Wave, his right hand turning palm-up as a trace of Cold Air coated it.

The White Tiger Blazing Light Wave was indeed powerful, especially when boosted by the White Tiger Vajra Transformation. But Huo Yuhao's right-arm Soul Bone was no pushover.

He crushed the White Tiger Blazing Light Wave with his bare hand. As Huo Yuhao reached Dai Huabin, a pale yellow barrier appeared.

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

Crack, crack—the White Tiger Body Protection Barrier visibly shattered into pieces. It held for only a moment before Huo Yuhao struck Dai Huabin in the chest with his palm. Blood seeped from the corner of Dai Huabin's mouth, then he spat out a mouthful.

Huo Yuhao hadn't used Emperor Palm: Great Cold No Snow. Otherwise, Dai Huabin would have died for sure.

"Judging by your clothes, you must come from a noble family. But us commoners aren't easy to bully, either. If you dare use your power to oppress me again, you won't get off so lightly next time."

After warning Dai Huabin, Huo Yuhao turned and left. As he climbed the stairs, countless new students watched him with shining eyes. The strong were respected—that had been true since time immemorial.

Dai Huabin tried to get up, but the next second, he spat out blood again when he saw Huo Yuhao toss all his belongings downstairs and heard him say, "Don't forget to pay for the door."

"You!!!" Dai Huabin's eyes were bloodshot, and he glared furiously at Huo Yuhao, completely helpless.

This was Shrek Academy. No one had ever dared to act so recklessly here.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Mu En's mouth. He rolled over to face the sun and narrowed his eyes. The sun was about to set. With such lovely weather, he ought to make the most of it and soak up some rays.

Huo Yuhao returned to his room. With the pent-up frustration in his chest released, he felt much more at ease.

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

Half an hour later, the dormitory was spotless. Sunlight shone through the windows, reflecting off the clean surfaces.

Huo Yuhao smiled. At last, the room was fit to live in. Before long, the workers who had come to repair the door arrived, and after a bout of hammering and banging, the new door was installed.

By then, the sun had set. The Sea God Lake was tinged with a golden glow beneath the evening sun.

Qian Renxue came across the water and met Huo Yuhao, who was sitting in a pavilion.

Facing Qian Renxue, Huo Yuhao teased, "Who would've thought, Older Sister? You became an Inner Courtyard Disciple so quickly!"

"I didn't expect it to go so smoothly, either. When the examiners saw my Six Winged Angel Martial Soul, that Dean Yan let me pass right away. That's how I got into the Inner Courtyard." Qian Renxue hadn't expected admission to the Inner Courtyard to be so easy.

But after actually entering the Inner Courtyard, Qian Renxue learned what true geniuses were like. Zhang Lexuan, the senior sister, possessed a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring. There were also Han Ruoruo, Golden Crow Leftover Woman, and a whole group of exceptionally talented female students. For the first time, Qian Renxue felt a hint of pressure.

"Enough about me. I heard the new students are in an uproar. That son of the White Tiger Duke—what was his name, Dai something-bin? He went to find Dai Yueheng in the Inner Courtyard to complain. But Dai Yueheng just slapped him and said, 'You're wasting my cultivation time.' I think he's his older brother."

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

"I know. I was the one who beat Dai Huabin," Huo Yuhao said casually.

"Do you have a grudge against him?"

After spending these past few days together, Qian Renxue and Huo Yuhao had grown closer, like a brother and sister. She knew his temperament; he wouldn't hit someone without a reason.

"He's my enemy. My mother died because of him." Huo Yuhao lowered his eyes, his expression heavy.

Qian Renxue furrowed her brows. "What happened?"
