Dai Huabin: Do We... Know Each Other?

Huo Yuhao didn't even reveal his Soul Ring.

This scene astonished everyone watching.

Even Yan Shaozhe, a Super Douluo, narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze falling on Huo Yuhao, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

He didn't understand this ability either, let alone Dai Huabin on the stage.

Dai Huabin stood there, his eyes filled with shock and solemnity. His breathing gradually became heavy, and his chest heaved violently, but he did not launch another attack.

It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't dare.

That attack just now made him clearly realize that the gap between himself and Huo Yuhao was far greater than he had imagined.

But at that moment, Huo Yuhao stepped forward again.

One step, two steps, three steps...

He slowly approached Dai Huabin, and at the same time, his voice rang out.

"It seems you still don't recognize me."

A hint of doubt flashed in Dai Huabin's eyes.

They know each other?!

He searched his mind rapidly, going through all the possible people in his memory.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't recall ever having any interaction with the person in front of him.

That delicate face, those calm eyes, that composed demeanor... were completely blank in his memory.

In the instant he was stunned, Huo Yuhao had already walked to within a few meters of him.

Dai Huabin hardened his heart.

Never mind!

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly exerted his strength, charging towards Huo Yuhao like a cannonball!

With a sharp whooshing sound, the tiger's right claw reached straight for Huo Yuhao's chest!

This strike was as fast as lightning!

With Dai Huabin's Soul Elder cultivation level, his speed was naturally not slow at this moment.

To most trainees, this was already a movement so fast it was almost invisible.

But in Huo Yuhao's view... it was no different from slow motion.

He still didn't use any Soul Skill, he simply turned slightly to the side.

The sharp tiger claws grazed his clothes.

Dai Huabin's pupils suddenly contracted. He wanted to stop his attack, to change his move, but it was too late.

Huo Yuhao's right leg lashed out like a whip!

Bang!

That kick landed squarely on Dai Huabin's abdomen!

The White Tiger Protection Barrier crumbled instantly before this kick, as if made of paper.

The terrifying force penetrated his body, causing Dai Huabin's body to suddenly arch into a shrimp-like shape, his eyes to bulge, and a mouthful of blood to uncontrollably spit out.

Then... he was kicked flying!

Boom!

His body slammed heavily against the edge of the ring like a tattered sack, then rolled to the ground.

Huo Yuhao had cultivated the Body Sect's secret techniques since childhood, and his Soul Power was extremely condensed, far surpassing that of his peers.

Therefore, his physical strength is already comparable to that of a Soul Emperor with Beast Martial Soul.

Therefore, his seemingly casual kick was not so pleasant.

Dai Huabin lay on the ground, panting heavily, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth onto the ring, a shocking sight.

This sudden turn of events took everyone watching by surprise.

Shocked by Huo Yuhao's strength, he repelled Dai Huabin, a Soul Elder, with a single strike without even using his Martial Soul.

They were also shocked that Huo Yuhao would take the initiative to attack, since in all the previous matches he had never taken the initiative to attack at the start of the match, let alone "kill" a student.

But today, he seemed like a completely different person.

Class teacher Zhang Lexuan sat in the spectator stands, her eyebrows slightly furrowed as she looked at Huo Yuhao, whose face was cold and stern on the stage.

She already knew that Huo Yuhao participated in this Freshman Assessment because of Dai Huabin.

His current actions have undoubtedly confirmed his judgment.

There must be some kind of grudge between these two.

On the ring, Dai Huabin struggled to sit up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

He looked at Huo Yuhao, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

That overwhelming sense of powerlessness washed over him like a tidal wave.

"Have we met before?"

His voice was hoarse and low, with a hint of probing.

"A grudge?"

Huo Yuhao did not answer.

In a flash, he covered a distance of more than ten meters and appeared in front of Dai Huabin.

Then... he kicked out again without any mercy!

Bang!

Dai Huabin's body flew backward again, crashing heavily into the railing at the edge of the ring on the other side.

The railing trembled violently, emitting a creaking sound as if it were about to collapse under the weight.

"Puff!"

Another mouthful of blood spurted out, splattering all over the ground.

Dai Huabin lay on the edge of the ring, struggling to lift his head.

His face was filled with malice and resentment as he stared intently at Huo Yuhao.

"Huabin!"

On the other side, Zhu Lu, who was dodging Wang Dong's attacks, couldn't help but shout out when she saw this scene.

Her eyes were filled with anxiety, and she was about to rush towards Dai Huabin.

Wang Dong, who was floating in mid-air, saw this and flapped his wings to stop her.

She had promised Huo Yuhao that she wouldn't let anyone disturb him.

Just then, Huo Yuhao's voice came.

"Wang Dong, let him come over."

Wang Dong paused slightly, floating in mid-air as Zhu Lu rushed swiftly to Dai Huabin's side.

Zhu Lu squatted down beside Dai Huabin, looking at the bloodstains at the corner of his mouth and his pale face, her eyes slightly reddening.

How are you?

Her voice trembled slightly.

Dai Huabin shook his head and remained silent.

With Zhu Lu's help, he struggled to his feet, his legs trembling slightly, but he still managed to straighten his back.

Despite knowing he was no match for Huo Yuhao and despite being utterly defeated, his gaze towards Huo Yuhao still held undisguised resentment and malice.

That was the pride of the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke Mansion, his last act of defiance.

Meanwhile, the fight between Xiao Xiao and Cui Yajie also stopped.

It's not a clear winner yet, since the match has only just begun and neither player has truly exerted their full strength.

Rather, they both understood that the focus of this competition was not on them at all.

All eyes were focused on the two figures.

Huo Yuhao stepped forward again, his gaze falling on Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu.

"Don't you have Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"

"Use it."

He paused, a slight smile curving his lips.

"If we don't let you use it, even if you lose, you won't be happy about it, right?"

Outside the arena, Du Weilun turned slightly to the side and whispered to Yan Shaozhe beside him, "Dean..."

A hint of hesitation crossed his face as his gaze swept back and forth between the two figures on the arena.

Yan Shaozhe understood what he meant.

He shook his head, his expression calm and serene.

"No one is in Life God danger, don't take action yet."

Du Weilun opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately kept it closed.

Yan Shaozhe was always a man of many thoughts; how could he not see the grudge between Huo Yuhao and Dai Huabin?

Huo Yuhao is now the savior of his apprentice, Ma Xiaotao.

He possesses the Ultimate Ice and is the only one who can successfully suppress Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire.

For this reason alone, he wanted revenge, Yan Shaozhe naturally couldn't hold him back.

Moreover, Huo Yuhao was the future of the academy that he had his eye on.

Let such a person do whatever they want; why should we stop them?

As long as no one dies, it's fine.

As for Dai Huabin, he comes from the White Tiger Duke Mansion.

Yan Shaozhe didn't care at all.

So what if White Tiger Duke controls the Star Luo Empire military?

Dai Hao is just a Soul Douluo now.

Shrek Academy has stood for ten thousand years; who has it ever feared?

A mere duke is not worthy of his attention.

Moreover, even if Dai Hao had a lot of guts, he probably wouldn't dare target the genius students of the Shrek Academy.
