Keep Fighting!

Bang!

Dai Huabin instinctively turned around and slapped his palm hard against the Heavy Profound Ruler. A wave of force rippled outward.

Dai Huabin's palm went numb at once. The White Tiger phantom behind him seemed to suffer the same fate.

But it was far from over.

First Soul Skill—Soul Shock.

As Huo Yuhao spoke, he was almost face-to-face with Dai Huabin. A flash of pale blue light appeared in his eyes and shot straight into Dai Huabin's spiritual sea.

In an instant,

Dai Huabin lost focus for a brief moment.

Huo Yuhao seized the opportunity and showed no mercy. He kicked Dai Huabin squarely in the crotch.

A sharp crack rang out.

Dai Huabin's scalp tingled, and he was sent flying again.

Huo Yuhao immediately pressed the attack, swinging the Heavy Profound Ruler down hard at Dai Huabin's neck.

The blow was powerful and heavy.

Huo Yuhao was only at level 21, but after strengthening his body over this period, the force behind that strike had already reached a thousand jin.

Seeing this, Zhu Lu cried out in alarm, "Get away from him!"

Her heart was full of shock.

"Second Soul Skill, Nether Hundred Claws!"

With Zhu Lu's sharp cry, the phantom of a black-and-purple cat's claw suddenly appeared in front of Huo Yuhao. Its claws were razor-sharp, and its shimmering light carried an eerie aura as it slashed toward him.

Huo Yuhao didn't hesitate. He raised the Heavy Profound Ruler to block.

With a bang, Huo Yuhao staggered back several steps.

At that moment, Dai Huabin had recovered, too. He shook his dizzy head, a bloodthirsty, cruel smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"First Soul Skill, White Tiger Protection Barrier!"

"Second Soul Skill, White Tiger Intense Light Wave!"

As he unleashed the two Soul Skills,

especially the second, a milky-white sphere of light burst from Dai Huabin's mouth. It surged forward with tremendous force, hurtling straight toward Huo Yuhao's chest.

Huo Yuhao didn't hesitate. He quickly contacted Tian Meng in his spiritual sea.

"Tian Meng, take over my body and use Ultimate Ice!"

Huo Yuhao was absolutely certain. He knew the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could briefly take control of his body.

In the original story,

when Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire went out of control and he fell unconscious, Tian Meng had taken over his body and released Ultimate Ice to suppress her.

Tian Meng hesitated at first, but that hesitation vanished in an instant.

Just as Tian Meng was about to take over Huo Yuhao's body, Huo Yuhao suddenly stopped him.

At the same moment,

two figures suddenly appeared between Huo Yuhao and Dai Huabin.

They were Zhou Yi and Mu Jin.

"What's going on?" Zhou Yi asked.

Dai Huabin spoke first. "Teacher, that guy attacked me as soon as he saw me. He's seriously violated the school rules and must be expelled!"

As he spoke, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His throat still burned where Huo Yuhao had struck him.

He even felt that the muscles in his throat might have been torn, and rage surged through him.

Zhou Yi frowned and looked at Dai Huabin coldly. "Whether my student is expelled isn't up to you."

Dai Huabin flared with anger at her words, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and glanced discreetly at Mu Jin.

Mu Jin was the head teacher of Class Five, but the head teacher of Class Nine, where Dai Huabin had been assigned, had taken leave for the past two days. Mu Jin was temporarily filling in.

Although Dai Huabin had only just enrolled, his status and connections had already allowed him to learn a few secrets.

Mu Jin and Zhou Yi were at odds. They were rivals in love.

But Mu Jin had no intention of paying Dai Huabin any attention.

That left him baffled.

Still, he knew he had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure it for now.

At the same time, Dai Huabin wondered how he could kill Huo Yuhao.

That little bastard had grown bold. He deserved to die.

Just then, Zhu Lu looked toward Mu Jin. After a moment's thought, she spoke.

"Teacher Mu, that guy attacked Dai Huabin as soon as he saw him. I couldn't stop him."

Then she pointed at Wang Dong. "And Wang Dong was helping him too. She stopped me!"

Mu Jin gave a slight nod and considered the matter before asking Zhu Lu, "You mean Huo Yuhao attacked without even talking to you. That doesn't make sense. Could you already know each other? Do you have some kind of grudge?"

Zhu Lu instinctively glanced at Dai Huabin.

Dai Huabin immediately nodded to signal her.

Zhu Lu nodded as well. "We know each other. Because of my relationship with Huabin, I often stay at the White Tiger Duke Mansion."

"That guy is part of the Huo family. He's an illegitimate child, born to a servant."

As she spoke, Zhu Lu turned to look at Huo Yuhao, her gaze icy.

She knew Huo Yuhao's identity, of course.

First, Dai Huabin often brought Huo Yuhao up to mock him.

Second, the White Tiger and Hell Spirit Cat families in Star Luo City often intermarried, so she had learned about him during her visits to the White Tiger Duke Mansion.

Just then, Huo Yuhao's voice rang out. "Zhu Lu, remember what you just said."

Zhu Lu snorted. "I said it. So what?"

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, nodded to Zhou Yi and Mu Jin, then looked at Dai Huabin. A faint smile suddenly tugged at his lips.

"Dai Huabin, in your eyes, I'm nothing but a tiny ant. But that tiny ant just beat you up."

"Doesn't that make you furious? Don't you want to kill me right now?"

Huo Yuhao wore a faintly mocking smile as he looked at Dai Huabin.

Hearing those words and seeing Huo Yuhao's mocking expression, Dai Huabin's fury flared.

In his eyes, Huo Yuhao had always been someone he could bully at will.

How could he tolerate him fighting back?

He immediately roared, "Huo Yuhao, if you've got the guts, fight me to the death!"

Zhou Yi and Mu Jin frowned slightly at his words.

Huo Yuhao shook his head and sneered. "A fight to the death? Once I knock you down and try to kill you, do you think no one will come to your rescue?"

As he spoke, the image of Dai Yueheng surfaced in Huo Yuhao's mind.

Back when Dai Huabin had been humiliated, he had told Dai Yueheng, who had helped him get revenge.

Dai Yueheng had naturally agreed. In his eyes, dealing with Huo Yuhao would be no problem.

But later, Xuan Zi had taken an interest in Huo Yuhao's talent.

Only then had Dai Huabin let the matter drop.

But that didn't mean—

It didn't mean Dai Yueheng had never harbored ill intentions toward Huo Yuhao.

So killing Dai Huabin now was definitely out of the question.

Huo Yuhao's lips curled slightly. He raised a hand and pointed at Zhu Lu. "How about this? Let's make a bet. Zhu Lu is your fiancée, isn't she?"

"Let's have a proper contest in a while. If you lose, your fiancée comes with me."

After saying that, Huo Yuhao looked at Zhu Lu. He hadn't wanted to drag her into this.

After all, the person responsible should be the one to answer for it.

But Zhu Lu had brought up his mother without a shred of courtesy.

If he backed down now, he'd be a damn coward.

Besides, Huo Yuhao remembered that he had a system mission to complete. This was the perfect chance to humiliate Dai Huabin.

Of all the ways to humiliate someone, stealing his fiancée was one of the most effective.

Of course, Huo Yuhao only wanted to teach Zhu Lu a lesson. He wasn't going to shamelessly strip her or do anything like that.

He still had lines he wouldn't cross.

Zhu Lu's eyes widened. "Huo Yuhao, you're asking for death!"

"What kind of person am I, and what kind of person are you?"

"You lowly—" Zhu Lu broke off midsentence.

Mu Jin frowned and cut her off before she could continue.

Huo Yuhao lowered the hand he had raised. He had genuinely been about to attack Zhu Lu just now.

Then,

Huo Yuhao's lips curled again as he looked at Dai Huabin, whose gaze had turned uncertain. "How about it?"
