The Struggle Escalates? Just Rest Assured and Be the Stepping Stone for the Person I've Chosen, Brother!

Just as Dai Huabin was about to raise his hand to surrender.

He suddenly heard a shout from Huo Yuhao, who was hiding among the crowd.

The next moment.

Everyone immediately turned their gazes toward Huo Yuhao.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao had already exited his Martial Soul state, so the confused crowd did not know about the underhanded move he had just made.

"Huo Yuhao, what is the meaning of this?!"

Zhu Lu questioned him.

Xiao Xiao was also stunned for a moment; she had originally thought Huo Yuhao was a decent person, so why did he seem like a completely different person today?

Was he just too good at putting on a facade, or was it a case of knowing a person's face but not their heart?

"Huo Yuhao, can't you see that Young Master Dai is already injured? Do you really want to see Young Master Dai end up bedridden?!"

Cui Yajie also spoke up.

As members of Dai Huabin's team, she and Zhu Lu had naturally participated in the conspiracy just now.

However.

From the very beginning, neither of them had truly trusted Huo Yuhao.

After all, they were both proud daughters of heaven; how could they possibly look up to a peer whose soul power was only at the teens and whose first soul ring was a ten-year white ring?

"If you fight now, there is still hope. If you surrender, you will lose both the person and the battle!"

"Don't tell me you've already prepared yourself to pay out ten million Gold Soul Coins?"

"Even the White Tiger Duke Mansion would likely not dare to say they could pay that amount casually!"

Huo Yuhao said coldly.

Right now, he couldn't care less about how his classmates viewed him.

He had placed a heavy bet on Dai Huabin's team, and as long as they continued to go all out, he could have Sky Dream Ice Silkworm take over and handle things.

With just one strike, he could make Jiang Yang suffer a complete defeat.

As long as Jiang Yang lost, he would gain cultivation resources he hadn't even dared to imagine before.

Once he had those resources, who would care whether his classmates liked him or not?

As for why Huo Yuhao didn't plan to go on stage himself, it was precisely because he was worried that letting Sky Dream Ice Silkworm act would expose his trump card.

Otherwise.

Why would he bother seeking cooperation with Dai Huabin?

"Huo Yuhao, are you truly certain that... that I can win?"

Dai Huabin, having regained his senses, was also startled by Huo Yuhao's words.

He had almost blurted out his true inner thoughts.

After all, although he was a legitimate son of the White Tiger Duke Mansion, he was not the eldest legitimate son.

If his father found out that he had lost three Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones, ten million Gold Soul Coins, and other cultivation resources due to a gambling match, it wouldn't be as simple as just getting a beating.

"I am certain!"

Huo Yuhao nodded firmly and immediately communicated with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in his spiritual sea.

[Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: Don't worry, little Yuhao. As soon as they clash, Brother will immediately take over your body. Although your body is very weak right now and Brother can't exert much power, it will be enough to deal with a tiny three-ring Soul Elder!]

[Huo Yuhao: Thank you, Brother Sky Dream! I'll leave it to you, Brother Sky Dream!!]

"Fine!"

"Then I'll trust you just this once!!"

Dai Huabin replied in a deep voice.

He immediately took a pill out of his Soul Tool and swallowed it.

"Zhu Lu, Cui Yajie, don't hold back anymore."

"Right!"

"Understood!!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie immediately took pills from their Soul Tools and swallowed them as well.

"Cheating!"

"This is cheating!!"

"Teacher Mu Jin! Quickly rule that they have lost!!"

Wang Dong was becoming anxious.

Because she could already sense that the soul power on Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and Cui Yajie was increasing rapidly.

Although she did not know exactly how much soul power it increased, the fact that they would rather surrender than consume this pill meant one thing.

That meant this pill was absolutely extraordinary.

"Ah--!!!"

"Haa--!!!"

"Ya--!!!"

The next moment.

Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and Cui Yajie suddenly all threw their heads back and roared toward the sky.

It was obvious.

They were all in great pain at this moment.

"This is a type of pill that forcibly overdraws one's potential. They're crazy, absolutely crazy!"

"Why would Dai Huabin have this kind of pill on him?"

"Could it be--"

As soon as Mu Jin thought of this, she suddenly recalled that a few days ago, she seemed to have told Teacher Wang Yan that she wanted to find Jiang Yang to help with sparring before the Freshman Assessment, and incidentally, to get some prizes or something similar.

"Could it be that Teacher Wang Yan leaked the secret?"

"Or perhaps, someone overheard this information and told Dai Huabin?"

"That must be it. I don't think I avoided anyone at the time... It seems this Dai Huabin had long since prepared to defeat Jiang Yang!"

"These aristocratic disciples are truly not people to be trifled with."

Thinking of this.

Mu Jin was instantly relieved.

If he could really defeat Jiang Yang, or rather, force out a portion of Jiang Yang's strength and still win, combined with the background of the White Tiger Duke Mansion.

Then Dai Huabin might truly be able to quickly enter the academy's line of sight.

As the saying goes, one step ahead, every step ahead.

In this way, who knows, the reserve spot for the Shrek Seven Devils might just fall into his hands.

"What a truly brilliant scheme!"

"What scheme, Teacher?"

"Nothing, continue watching the match."

Mu Jin muttered subconsciously.

This sentence also happened to fall into the ears of the crowd.

Xiao Xiao immediately asked in confusion.

"Jiang Yang, I believe in you!"

"You will definitely win!!"

"Justice will definitely triumph over evil!"

Just at this moment.

Wang Dong also suddenly shouted loudly.

It seemed as if he was at odds with Huo Yuhao.

If he could recklessly support someone like Dai Huabin, then why couldn't he clearly and distinctly support Jiang Yang?

"Right!"

"Senior Brother--"

"Go for it!"

"I believe in you, you will definitely win!!"

"Go for it, Senior Brother!!!"

With Wang Dong taking the lead.

The crowd also began to cheer for Jiang Yang one after another.

Even Ning Tian and the others who had run over from Class Nine joined in the cheering.

The momentum grew increasingly grand.

Students from other nearby classes couldn't help but sneak over to this side as well.

The area, which originally only had students from Freshman Class One and a small number of others, was instantly packed to capacity.

Taking a look at it, there were at least three or four hundred people.

Even a teacher from one of the classes walked over, came to Mu Jin's side, and asked her about the cause and effect.

"Hahahahaha--"

"What is justice? What is evil?!"

"I am currently a level thirty-seven Soul Elder, and both Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie have reached level thirty soul power. You? You are nothing more than a three-ring Soul Elder who cannot even use his martial soul or soul skills!"

"What do you have to win against me?!"

"Hahahaha..."

"Accept your defeat! Jiang Yang—"

"Second Soul Skill—"

"White Tiger Intense Light Wave!"

"Just rest easy and serve as a stepping stone for the person I have chosen! Heh—"
