Will Win

After dinner, Huo Yuhao and the other two were walking toward Shrek Academy when, from afar, they saw the East Gate surrounded by a dense crowd, packed so tightly that not even water could pass through.

Standing in the middle of the crowd was a tall, imposing young man in a black school uniform, with thick brows, fierce eyes, a straight nose, and a square mouth. He was strikingly handsome. His fair skin was flushed red with anger, and his expression was especially gloomy.

It was none other than Xu Sanshi.

Everyone in the Outer Court knew that he had always been pursuing Jiang Nannan.

Although his family had prepared an awakening ceremony for him when he went home earlier, he had refused it. He liked Jiang Nannan, and no one but Jiang Nannan would do. He had even quarreled fiercely with his elders, and when he returned to the academy, he was still full of anger.

Now that he had heard people say Jiang Nannan had been acting intimately with a new student, he was naturally furious. He wanted to beat that new student senseless and drive him away from Jiang Nannan.

The moment Xu Sanshi saw Huo Yuhao and the other two, he strode forward and reached for Huo Yuhao's collar, roaring:

"Where did this pretty boy come from? Stay away from Nannan."

"Xu Sanshi, what are you doing?!"

Two crisp, angry voices rang out at the same time, interrupting Xu Sanshi's movement. Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya nearly simultaneously stepped in front of Huo Yuhao.

Jiang Nannan swiftly completed her Martial Soul Possession. Three Soul Rings—yellow, yellow, purple—rose one after another from beneath her feet and circled her body. A pair of fluffy rabbit ears emerged from the top of her head, adding a touch of playfulness and cuteness to her breathtaking beauty.

At the same time, her second Soul Ring lit up—Gravity Control.

In an instant, Xu Sanshi's movements slowed for a moment. Then Tang Ya raised her right hand, gathering a dazzling golden gleam at her fingertips. Like a living thing, the golden light shot straight toward Xu Sanshi.

Startled, Xu Sanshi had no time to think. His right hand, originally reaching for Huo Yuhao, suddenly swung out. A sharp black glow flared up, trying to sweep away that speck of golden light.

Yet the golden light suddenly flashed, drilling straight through the dense black Soul Power and into Xu Sanshi's body.

Xu Sanshi's body shuddered violently, and his gaze froze. Then rage burst from his tiger-like eyes as three Soul Rings rose beneath his feet—two yellow and one purple.

His originally fair skin immediately darkened, while his muscles swelled at a visible rate. His entire body grew a size larger, and most strangely, a black Tortoise Shell Shield roughly one and a half meters in diameter appeared in his right hand.

"Pretty boy, do you only know how to hide behind women?"

Holding the Black Tortoise Turtle Shell Shield, Xu Sanshi spoke in a low, hoarse voice. Seeing Huo Yuhao protected behind Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya only made him even angrier.

Tang Ya was one thing; that was Bei Bei's problem to worry about.

But why was Jiang Nannan protecting that pretty boy too? He had pursued her for so long—had she never considered him at all? Jealousy and rage nearly consumed Xu Sanshi.

The surrounding spectators let out one gasp after another at the thrilling scene. It was obvious that a fight was about to break out.

Before Huo Yuhao could respond, Tang Ya's sharp eyes spotted Bei Bei in the crowd, with his dark blue short hair and tall, upright figure. She immediately shouted:

"Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi attacked my friend! Hurry up and beat him up—beat him until he can't take care of himself!"

Bei Bei, who had been hiding among the crowd, immediately twitched at the corner of his mouth. He had come to see what was going on after hearing the rumors, yet Xu Sanshi had actually gone straight to throwing hands.

Whenever it involved Jiang Nannan, Xu Sanshi became like a man without a brain.

Still, looking at the handsome young man Tang Ya was protecting, Bei Bei felt an inexplicable sense of crisis.

He did not think Tang Ya would betray him, but seeing how much she cared about that boy still left Bei Bei feeling a little jealous.

That was why Bei Bei had not stepped forward from the start. That boy was Tang Ya's friend, but was Xu Sanshi not his brother?

But with things as they were, Bei Bei had no choice but to squeeze out of the crowd and stand beside Xu Sanshi. He secretly gave him a look and spoke helplessly:

"Sanshi, for my sake, put away your Martial Soul first. You don't really intend to attack a junior student, do you?"

Within Shrek Academy, senior students were not allowed to take the initiative to provoke or attack junior students. Once discovered, they would be expelled immediately.

Junior students, on the other hand, could challenge senior students, but a teacher had to witness it and verify that the senior student was not bullying them.

As for students of the same year, fighting was not a problem. As long as no one died, the academy would not interfere.

Xu Sanshi seemingly failed to understand Bei Bei's meaning and still said coldly:

"Bei Bei, you should keep an eye on your Xiao Ya first. Don't let her hang around with just any nobody."

Under normal circumstances, Xu Sanshi might have given Bei Bei some face. But the awakening ceremony had already left him irritated, and then he saw Jiang Nannan together with a handsome young man. He simply could not swallow this anger.

If he did not give that pretty boy a vicious beating, he would not be able to show his face at Shrek Academy again.

Bei Bei's face darkened when he heard that.

"Xu Sanshi, did you really leave your brain behind, or do you want to go to the Soul Fighting Zone with me again?"

Xu Sanshi ignored Bei Bei. He slightly lifted his head, fixed his gaze on Huo Yuhao, and spoke provocatively. "Pretty boy, dare to come to the Soul Fighting Zone with me? Don't worry, I'll let you have one hand."

He chuckled after saying that.

"Of course, if you don't dare, then get the hell away from Nannan."

Jiang Nannan said coldly:

"Enough, Xu Sanshi. You truly disgust me. You want to go to the Soul Fighting Zone, right? Then how about I fight you?"

"Nannan, that's not what I... I..."

Seeing the anger on Jiang Nannan's face, Xu Sanshi was at a loss for what to do. He clearly had not expected her to get so angry.

"Alright, Sister Nannan, leave the rest to me."

Huo Yuhao gently took Jiang Nannan's soft hand.

"Senior Xu Sanshi, right? Then I hope you will use your full strength against me. Otherwise, you may find it difficult to walk off the Soul Fighting Platform in one piece."

Bei Bei looked at Huo Yuhao, who still wore a smile, while even Jiang Nannan beside him did not speak to stop him. For some reason, his heart suddenly trembled, and he wanted to stop this Soul Fighting match.

"Sanshi, maybe we should just forget it..."

"Good kid. You've got guts."

Seeing Huo Yuhao accept the Soul Fighting match and even talk big, Xu Sanshi no longer paid any attention to Bei Bei's advice. He merely waved his hand.

"Bei Bei, do you not trust my strength? Don't worry. I'll win."
