The students looked at the paper in their hands as if they had seen the challenges they were about to face. Some had solemn faces, some had fighting intent in their eyes, and more had sweaty palms and lingering worries written on their brows.
The team moved forward slowly, and Huo Yuhao stood quietly between Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, looking abnormally calm.
His eyes did not fall on the form in front of him, but crossed the crowd and locked on the proud and conspicuous figure in the team - Dai Huabin.
Wang Dong can clearly feel the cold breath emanating from Huo Yuhao.
He poked Huo Yuhao's waist gently with his elbow, and raised his chin in the direction of Dai Huabin.
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath. The long-suppressed aura mixed with hatred and determination in his chest seemed to have found an outlet to vent at this moment.
He didn't speak, but nodded heavily to Wang Dong.
Then, under the unexpected gaze of everyone, he resolutely left the team.
This move instantly broke the oppressive calm of the scene.
Almost all the students' eyes were invariably attracted to him.
The seniors who were distributing the assessment forms stopped what they were doing. The teachers Wang Yan, Han Ruoruo and Class Two who were in charge of supervision in the distance also frowned and looked over.
Huo Yuhao seems to have never heard of all this.
Step by step, he walked towards Dai Huabin.
His pace is not fast, but extremely steady.
His shoes left shallow marks on the sand.
There was no unnecessary expression on his slightly pale face. Only his eyes, which had always been filled with a sense of inferiority, were now like ice, clear, firm, and with a heart-stopping sharpness.
Dai Huabin, who was waiting in line, naturally noticed this unusual commotion.
When he saw Huo Yuhao walking towards him, he was stunned at first, and then the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably, revealing a curve full of contempt and sarcasm.
Huo Yuhao stood about three meters away from Dai Huabin.
The whispers in the audience completely disappeared at this moment, and everyone held their breath.
"Dai Huabin."
Huo Yuhao spoke, his voice was not loud, but it was extremely clear, with a calmness and coldness that did not belong to his age.
"Our bet is today. I'm here to confirm it with you again in front of all the teachers and classmates."
He looked directly into Dai Huabin's proud eyes and said word by word, "Do you regret it?"
Dai Huabin was slightly startled. He felt that there might really be something wrong with Huo Yuhao's brain.
Normal people would avoid such humiliating bets in private, but he actually took the initiative to bring it to the table. Was it because he thought his loss was not ugly enough?
But what's more in his heart is a kind of morbid pleasure.
He nodded, his voice full of condescending arrogance and charity-like tolerance:
"Of course I won't regret it. Why, do you want to beg for mercy now? But it's too late. We agreed that this time Upgrade Assessment, whoever gets the lower final score between the two of us will kneel in front of the other, kowtow and admit defeat, and admit in public that he is a complete waste."
He deliberately emphasized the words "kowtow and admit defeat" and "waste", and the mocking look on his face became more intense, as if he had seen the miserable look of Huo Yuhao kneeling down and begging for mercy.
"Okay."
Huo Yuhao nodded, his face still showing no emotion, as if Dai Huabin's humiliating words were just a breeze blowing on his face.
He slowly looked around, scanning the faces that were either curious, sympathetic, or gloating, and finally settled on the teacher's seat in the distance, and spoke again, his voice rising a bit.
"Then please ask all the teachers and classmates present to help you bear witness. This bet will be made today, based on the final score of Upgrade Assessment. That's right, Dai Huabin?"
Like an experienced hunter, he calmly set the trap and then left the choice to his prey.
Dai Huabin was a little confused by his operation, but it was difficult to get off the tiger. Under the gaze of hundreds of eyes, he could only reply subconsciously, "That's right."
After receiving this affirmative answer, the corners of Huo Yuhao's mouth that had been tense finally curved into a cold arc.
"After the assessment, I will wait for you here."
He sneered, and after saying these chilling words, he no longer looked at Dai Huabin, whose expression had begun to change, turned around neatly, and walked back to his team.
After he left, Beast Fighting Arena was completely silent for a few seconds before it exploded like a drop of cold water in boiling oil.
"Are you crazy? Huo Yuhao dares to openly challenge Dai Huabin?"
"Such a big gamble? Kowtow and admit defeat... If you lose, how will you behave in the academy in the future?"
"Where does he get the courage? Dai Huabin is Soul Elder who is almost at level 40, White Tiger Martial Soul, top-level Power Attack System, Huo Yuhao is just over level 20, right?"
"Now there's something good to watch."
The whispers that broke out among the students were like countless tiny needles pricking Dai Huabin's body.
He finally recovered from the shock of being dominated by Huo Yuhao, and his face was so gloomy that it almost dripped with water.
He felt that he had been fooled. No matter whether he won or lost, he was dragged to the same level by this trash in his eyes and placed on both ends of the scale for others to comment on.
An uncontrollable anger burned from the bottom of his heart. He stared at Huo Yuhao's back and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth:
"You will not live for your own fault. Since you want to embarrass all Outer Court, then I will help you."
"Huabin, be careful."
Zhu Lu walked quickly to his side, her beautiful eyebrows knitted together tightly, and she lowered her voice, her tone full of worry.
"I always feel like something is wrong. This Huo Yuhao... Where does he have the courage to make such a bet with you in public?"
Although Huo Yuhao has a record of equaling Wu Feng and narrowly winning in the end, Wu Feng is no match for Dai Huabin.
Wu Feng is the top Beast Martial Soul, so is Dai Huabin, and Soul Power Level is far ahead.
It is so difficult for Huo Yuhao to beat Wu Feng. Why and how dare he use his dignity to bet against Dai Huabin?
Zhu Lu thinks that there must be a conspiracy.
This is not logical, and it is not in line with Huo Yuhao's long-standing and tolerant character.
"Conspiracy?"
Dai Huabin snorted coldly. He was so blinded by anger and pride that he couldn't listen to Zhu Lu's advice at all.
"In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy or conspiracy is a joke. He is just a clown who wants to gain attention in this way. I will make him understand that waste will always be waste."
