What Was There to Fear? His Father Was Dai Hao

The match ended quickly.

There should have been two more matches afterward, but the freshmen on both sides were all one-ring Soul Masters. Out of the twelve of them, they could not even scrape together a single two-ring Soul Grandmaster.

Finding it boring, Bai Ran hurriedly got up and left the spectator area, returning to his stall.

He would keep selling for another hour. If no one came, he would pack up and head back, then continue running his Luckin Coffee Shop at the Outer Academy cafeteria that evening.

Perhaps because the Freshman Competition had just begun and had not gained much attention yet, there were not many spectators.

In the spectator area for District Thirty-Three where Bai Ran had just been, not even a third of the seats were occupied, and most of the audience consisted of freshman class teachers and freshman students.

It would probably only attract large crowds after the second stage, the ranking matches, began—the round of sixty-four.

Bai Ran had grown up this much and still had never seen what a Martial Soul Fusion Skill looked like.

For the final match, the grudge match between Huo Yuhao and his "older brother" Dai Huabin, Bai Ran had to go show his support no matter what.

Speak of the devil, and the devil appeared.

Just as Bai Ran returned to his coffee stall and was about to make himself a cup of coffee,

a blond man walked over, his arm around a well-built woman, stopping in front of the coffee stall.

With that flashy appearance and signature golden hair, even if Bai Ran did not know him, he could guess his identity with near certainty.

Other than the monitor of Freshman Class Five, Huo Yuhao's half-brother from the same father, "Dai Huabin," who else could it be?

Though he was only a freshman, Dai Huabin's Soul Power Level had already broken through level thirty, surpassing most second-year students and even some third-year disciples of the Outer Academy.

In a sense, the White Tiger Duke Mansion had provided its legitimate son with resources that were absurdly generous.

Not only had they given him a Soul Power Level far beyond those of his peers, they had even arranged a marriage alliance with a girl from the Zhu Family. They had assigned him a wife early on, too.

Compared to that, Huo Yuhao, an illegitimate son, held a status lower than even the servants in the mansion.

Honestly, Tang San could also be blamed for this.

If Tang San had not turned history backward and allowed the nobility to become the ruling class of the Douluo Continent, perhaps Huo Yuhao's childhood would not have been so miserable.

Of course, Bai Ran would not look at his customer Dai Huabin through tinted glasses because of Huo Yuhao's tragic experiences.

In Haji Bai's view, if you were willing to pay Gold Soul Coins for his coffee, then he would sell it to you.

Whoever he sold to was still a sale, right?

Oh, right. He did not sell to Evil Soul Masters.

His parents had both been killed by Evil Soul Masters, and his uncle had nearly gone mad because of them. So even if it were Tang San, Bai Ran would never sell coffee—or lemonade—to an Evil Soul Master.

No, he would not sell to Tang San either.

Evil Soul Masters had continuously developed and grown into their current massive scale because of that bastard.

Although some Evil Soul Masters had special circumstances and could not all be condemned wholesale, Evil Soul Masters were like snakes. When Bai Ran could not tell whether one was venomous or not, his choice was to kill them all without hesitation.

"Oh? Isn't this Senior Jiang Nannan?"

The main reason Dai Huabin had come to the coffee stall was that he had been drawn in by Jiang Nannan's beauty.

All that could be said was that, as expected of possessors of the Evil Eye White Tiger, known as the lecherous tiger, from their ancestor Dai Mubai down to Dai Huabin's father, the White Tiger Duke, they were fundamentally promiscuous people—humanoid studs ruled by their lower halves.

Especially after seeing a beautiful woman, they could barely move their feet.

If Zhu Lu beside him were not glaring fiercely at him from the corner of her eye, Dai Huabin's eyeballs would probably have wanted to stick themselves onto Jiang Nannan's long, slender legs.

"..."

Jiang Nannan said nothing.

To Jiang Nannan, this kind of ill-intentioned spoiled young master was even more disgusting than Xu Sanshi.

Xu Sanshi: Damn, when did I become a unit of measurement?

"Classmate, are you looking for trouble?"

No matter what Jiang Nannan had been like before, she was now the assistant his uncle had sent to help him. She was his subordinate.

If Bai Ran did not even have the courage to step forward and protect his subordinate when she was being harassed, would he not be a cowardly turtle? How would that make him any different from Xu Sanshi?

Xu Sanshi: Six six six. You're fucking slandering me again?

"Where did this little brat come from? Get lost."

Seeing Bai Ran, this kid who had not even grown all his hair yet, step out, Dai Huabin did not show him any mercy. He casually swung out a slap, intending to send the child back to where he came from—dead.

But that was exactly what Bai Ran wanted.

Before the slap had even landed on his face, Bai Ran dropped to the ground the next second and immediately began playing dead.

A Food-type Soul Master was no match for an assault-type Soul Master to begin with, let alone when there was a full eleven-level gap in their Soul Power Levels.

"Huabin, will you get into trouble for doing this?"

Seeing Dai Huabin strike a child, and noticing that the child seemed seriously injured, Zhu Lu could not help feeling worried.

"What was there to fear? My father is Dai Hao."

Compared to his older brother Dai Yueheng and younger brother Dai Luoli, Dai Huabin was completely lawless. Ever since he was young, his mother had told him: You are the son of the White Tiger Duke. You can do whatever you want.

Thus, in the original story, Dai Huabin had even been bold enough to use his family's power to assassinate Huo Yuhao, a Shrek Academy student, outside Shrek City.

Things that even some Title Douluo would not dare do, he, Dai Huabin, had been arrogant enough to do them.

Unfortunately, he had kicked an iron plate today.

White Tiger Duke Dai Hao was indeed formidable, but no matter how formidable he was, he still belonged to the Star Luo Empire.

Bai Ran's uncle, Ye Tian, on the other hand, was a genuine Shrek Academy man, and his value was comparable to that of a Super Douluo.

As long as Shrek Academy's higher-ups were not fools, it was obvious who they would favor.

Less than two seconds after Bai Ran lay on the ground, a red figure descended from the sky.

It was Ma Xiaotao, who had just gone to the Outer Academy cafeteria to buy coffee from Bai Ran. When she could not find him, she had decided to take a stroll around the Outer Academy.

And now, by sheer coincidence, she saw Bai Ran get "knocked unconscious" by Dai Huabin's slap.

How should this scene be described?

It was no different from being cuckolded right in front of her.

And by a stinking blond bastard at that—the buffs were stacked to the max.

"Phoenix Roaring Sky Strike!"

A red phoenix phantom descended from the sky, aimed completely at taking Dai Huabin's life.

Sensing danger, Dai Huabin instinctively embraced Zhu Lu, whom he had originally been holding, and activated the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, "Hell White Tiger."

Only then did he manage to save his miserable life.

Seeing this, the people from the Duke's Mansion who had been hidden in the shadows to protect Dai Huabin quickly emerged and stopped the enraged Ma Xiaotao.

Upon seeing the Inner Academy uniform on Ma Xiaotao, the Duke's Mansion man was overcome with a headache. This matter had clearly exceeded the scope of what he could handle.

Duke's Mansion man: What the hell was going on? Where had the Second Young Master gone and provoked such a terrifying big shot?
