"Big Brother" Dai Yueheng
Xuan Zi raised the wine gourd, tilted his head back, and took a big gulp.
Wine dripped down his chin, but he didn't wipe it away, smiling as he watched the shocked expressions on the faces of the formal students in the Inner Court.
He looked just like an old fox who had stolen a chicken.
"Now," he clicked his tongue and asked slowly, "Does anyone have any objections?"
Of the seven official team members participating, only two were Soul Emperor, while the rest were Soul King.
Huo Yuhao is now Soul King, and in terms of cultivation level, he is on par with them, even being several years younger than them.
The official team members naturally had no objections.
Xi Xi and Chen Zifeng, who had just been questioning things, now fell silent, their faces showing some embarrassment.
Xuan Zi nodded in satisfaction, put away his wine gourd, and clapped his hands.
"Alright, why don't you both introduce yourselves and get to know each other?"
As he spoke, his gaze finally settled on Bei Bei.
"Bei Bei, you go first."
Upon hearing this, Bei Bei stepped forward, a gentle smile on her face, and nodded slightly to the official team members.
"My name is Bei Bei, I'm a fifth-year student in the Outer Court, and I'm a level 42 Power Attack System Battle Soul Ancestor."
His voice was gentle and polite, neither humble nor arrogant.
Following Bei Bei, the Reserve Team were introduced one after another.
There weren't any particularly amazing geniuses among these students. Their cultivation levels of Soul Ancestor and Soul Elder were top-tier in the Outer Court, but in the eyes of the Inner Court students, they were nothing special.
After the Reserve Team were introduced, it was the turn of the official team members.
The first one to be introduced is Ma Xiaotao, the team leader, who is currently a level 68 Soul Emperor.
The second person to step forward was a young man with handsome features and an innate arrogance in his eyes.
"Inner Court, Dai Yueheng."
"Level 64 Power Attack System Battle Soul Emperor"
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yuhao's gaze immediately fell upon him!
Those clear eyes were fixed intently on that figure.
Dai Yueheng.
Huo Yuhao was naturally familiar with this name.
After all, this is his "elder brother"!
Huo Yuhao had only known of Dai Yueheng, his elder brother, before, but didn't really understand him.
When they were children at the White Tiger Duke Mansion, Dai Huabin always bullied Dai Yueheng and his mother, but Dai Yueheng hardly ever saw them.
He was considerably older than me, and the two of us had almost never crossed paths.
Without any interaction, there can be no enmity.
However, due to his hatred for Dai Yueheng, Huo Yuhao was unlikely to have a good attitude towards him.
After all, he was the son of Duchess Zhu Yunqing of White Tiger.
At this moment, Dai Yueheng's expression was somewhat complicated as he looked at Huo Yuhao's gaze.
Although he was the eldest Young Master of the White Tiger Duke Mansion, the legitimate eldest son, and the nominal heir.
But in terms of talent, he is actually inferior to Dai Huabin.
Moreover, Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu possess the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of the Hell White Tiger. According to the rules of the White Tiger Lineage, the next White Tiger Duke will naturally be Dai Huabin.
Therefore, Duchess Zhu Yunqing also preferred her second son, Dai Huabin.
Dai Yueheng knew all of this and had already accepted it.
Last semester, Huo Yuhao's true identity was exposed, leading to Dai Huabin's expulsion from school.
After that incident, Zhu Yunqing sent messages to Dai Yueheng several times.
The first time was to have him cooperate in killing Huo Yuhao.
Dai Yueheng did not agree.
The second time, a message was sent ordering him to withdraw from the Inner Court and return to the Duke Mansion.
Dai Yueheng did not follow this advice.
In Dai Yueheng's view, his mother and younger brother did make a mistake back then.
But what could he, as the son, say? What could he do?
So at this moment, looking at Huo Yuhao, Dai Yueheng was also unsure how to face him.
After everyone finished introducing themselves, Xuan Zi spoke again.
"To help you get to know each other more quickly, let's have a friendly match next."
"Friendly match?"
Bei Bei was the first to ask, "Xuan Zi, what's the procedure for this friendly match?"
Xuan Zi raised his arm, wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and grinned.
"The official team members will face off against your Reserve Team!"
Upon hearing this, a groan of agony erupted from the Reserve Team.
"What?!"
"Official team members are attacking us?!"
"Xuan Zi, you're sending us to our deaths!"
In their eyes, although Huo Yuhao was strong, all the official team members were above the Soul King level, and there were even two Soul Emperors!
How do I fight this?
On the other hand, the situation was quite different for the official team members.
Several people looked at Huo Yuhao with eager anticipation in their eyes.
Xi Xi and Chen Zifeng, in particular, were now itching to make a move.
They also wanted to test the strength of this genius junior from the Outer Court, to see just how strong he truly was.
As for the outcome, almost none of these Inner Court students thought they would lose.
Taking on a few junior students from the Outer Court would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?
Xuan Zi took in everyone's expressions, and was eagerly anticipating the outcome.
He squinted his cloudy old eyes, his gaze falling on Huo Yuhao.
Yan Shaozhe once told him that when Huo Yuhao was in the Soul Ancestor, he was able to defeat the Soul Emperor and repel the Soul Saint.
He has now broken through to the Soul King level.
Xuan Zi also wanted to see for himself just how strong this young man truly was.
Xuan Zi ignored everyone's thoughts and waved his hand dismissively.
"You have time to discuss your tactics, then we'll officially begin!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the two teams consciously distanced themselves.
On the Reserve Team side, everyone's attention immediately focused on Huo Yuhao, the team captain.
He was Soul Master Control System, and also the strongest among the seven. Everyone trusted the tactics arranged by Huo Yuhao; that's called trust.
Although this reserve team had only been established for a few days, Huo Yuhao already had a good understanding of everyone's abilities.
He observed the varied expressions on everyone's faces: some were nervous, some were apprehensive, some were eager to try, and some looked worried...
He looked away and spoke first, "Don't make that long face."
His voice was calm, yet it carried a reassuring power.
"Although these Inner Court students are more skilled, we may still have a chance of winning."
Most people who heard this thought that Huo Yuhao was just trying to cheer them on.
They had absolutely no confidence in the upcoming friendly match.
After all, the difference in strength is undeniable.
At this moment, Bei Bei also spoke up.
"The captain is right."
His voice was gentle, yet carried a hint of seriousness.
"And no matter what kind of opponent we face, we can't be without the courage to even fight."
His words seemed to have a greater effect.
These Reserve Team are among the most outstanding in the Outer Court, and are considered geniuses by many, so they naturally possess the pride that comes with geniuses.
A fighting spirit gradually emerged in everyone's eyes.
If you don't even dare to make a move, what kind of Soul Master are you?
Huo Yuhao nodded to Bei Bei, then looked at He Caitou beside him.
"Senior, give us one Thick Cigar and Big Cigar each."
He Caitou grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.
"No problem!"
He immediately Martial Soul Possession, and the First Soul Ring and Second Soul Ring beneath his feet flashed in succession.
Then, he opened his mouth and uttered a soul incantation that made everyone present twitch at the corners of their mouths.
"I have a Thick Cigar!"
Everyone: "..."
Then, the second sentence came.
"Auntie's Big Cigar!"
Everyone: "..."
