Consecutive Victories

Huo Yuhao had no intention of playing turn-based games with these new students. He went straight for the instant kill.

Wang Yan, who was serving as the referee, instantly widened his eyes and hurried after Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, your Martial Soul is an Ultimate Martial Soul, isn't it?"

"Of course. Is there something you need, Teacher?" Huo Yuhao replied coldly.

"Nothing. I was just shocked by the strength of your Martial Soul." Wang Yan realized he had gotten a little too excited and explained in a low voice.

"If that's all, I'll be going."

Watching Huo Yuhao leave, Wang Yan immediately rushed to the Sea God Pavilion to find his grandmaster, Xuan Zi.

"Elder Xuan, this Huo Yuhao has an Ultimate Ice Martial Soul. We absolutely have to take notice of him!"

At Wang Yan's words, Xuan Zi immediately smacked him on the head. "Do you think you have to tell me about something like this? I'll have Shao Zhe keep an eye on him right away."

With that, Xuan Zi switched the chicken leg to his other hand, wiped the grease on Wang Yan, then headed straight for Yan Shaozhe.

"Shao Zhe, there's a new student with an Ultimate Martial Soul. Make sure you get him into your Martial Soul Department."

Xuan Zi climbed in through the window of the Soul Guidance Department dean's office.

"Elder Xuan, I was just about to tell you. Huo Yuhao's file lists him as a core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department. What do you think?" Yan Shaozhe replied helplessly.

"I'll go see Mu En about this myself later. What kind of dean are you? How did the Soul Guidance Department manage to snatch him first?"

Xuan Zi grumbled at Yan Shaozhe for a few moments, then his craving for liquor kicked in again. He headed home to drink.

Huo Yuhao had no idea a recruitment battle over him was about to begin. He was peacefully cultivating in his dormitory.

Wang Dong had tried to invite him to dinner again today, but Huo Yuhao had turned her down, saying he still had to cultivate.

He didn't know whether God King Tang had put some kind of spell on Wang Dong or whether she genuinely admired him.

But it didn't matter. He, Huo Yuhao, would never get too close to Wang Dong.

At that moment, in the Divine Realm, Tang San wore a blue robe and rubbed his brow in frustration.

He truly hadn't expected Huo Yuhao to grow so quickly. Was the Mysterious Heaven Skill really that powerful?

Now there was a problem: how was he supposed to make the Martial Soul Fusion Skill happen? Huo Yuhao could instantly defeat everyone without Wang Dong. What did he need her help for?

Tang San gritted his teeth and decided to split off a portion of the Butterfly God's divine position and give it to Wang Dong. Though this might mean Tang Wutong wouldn't inherit the complete divine position in the future, getting Huo Yuhao in return would be worth it.

That night, in a luxurious hotel in Shrek City, seven-colored light shimmered around Wang Dong as she slept in her female form, and her Soul Power rapidly increased.

On the second day of the freshman assessment, Huo Yuhao arrived early at the arena to wait for Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao.

The instant he saw Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao sensed something was wrong. His Soul Power fluctuations began to be drawn toward her.

This is bad. Tang San has withdrawn the divine power that was concealing my Soul Power traits. Huo Yuhao's heart lurched, and he hurriedly contacted Electrolux.

"Elder Yi, quickly help me conceal my Soul Power traits!"

"I've already concealed them for you. Yuhao, what's wrong? Why are you so panicked?"

Electrolux looked at Huo Yuhao, who was clearly flustered, and asked in confusion.

"Do you see my roommate over there? Keep an eye on her for me. She feels extremely dangerous—more dangerous than running into a hundred-thousand-year Ferocious Beast."

Huo Yuhao pointed toward Wang Dong in his Spirit Sea as he explained.

"Very well, Yuhao. I'll keep an eye on her. Her Soul Power does feel a little strange."

"Yuhao, do you need Ice Empress and me to help? The three of us could test her strength and still retreat safely," Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said instinctively, jolted awake.

Huo Yuhao quickly cut off Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's suicidal suggestion. "Brother Sky Dream, let me put it this way: I just thought about challenging Di Tian to a duel, and even that didn't give me as strong a sense of danger as I felt just now."

Hearing Huo Yuhao say this, Ice Empress punched Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in the head.

"If you want to get yourself killed, don't drag us into it. Go back to sleep."

Outside, Wang Dong had just felt as though there was some kind of connection between her and Huo Yuhao. A moment later, the feeling vanished.

"Huo Yuhao, did you feel anything unusual just now?" Wang Dong asked, puzzled.

"No. Everything feels normal. You're probably under too much pressure."

Seeing Huo Yuhao's cold attitude, Wang Dong immediately flared up. Thinking of how her Martial Soul had evolved and her Soul Power had increased yesterday, she looked at Huo Yuhao provocatively.

"Want to fight me after the freshman assessment? My Martial Soul has undergone a Second Awakening too. Once I get my third Soul Ring, I might not be weaker than you."

"Not interested. If you want to fight, go to the Soul Fighting Zone. I'm busy."

"You!" Seeing Huo Yuhao refuse to fight, Wang Dong had no way to deal with him. She could only stomp off to the side and sulk by herself.

Once the match began, the opposing team was unsurprisingly eliminated by Huo Yuhao in an instant. A level-36 Ultimate Ice Martial Soul was simply unbeatable in the freshman assessment.

For the next several days, Huo Yuhao never let a match last longer than two seconds.

After the preliminary rounds ended, the competition moved on to the top sixty-four.

In class, Zhou Yi explained the rules for the top-sixty-four matches. Huo Yuhao didn't listen at all and continued cultivating his Soul Power.

Among the teams in the top sixty-four, only Ning Tian's team was worth putting some effort into. The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect could help Huo Yuhao's future development; he had no interest in the other teams.

Of course, that didn't include the main course this time: Dai Huabin.

Before long, Huo Yuhao faced Ning Tian in the round of sixteen.

This time, Huo Yuhao didn't freeze all his opponents into ice statues. He spared Ning Tian and didn't attack her.

"Student Huo Yuhao, is there something you want to tell me?" Ning Tian asked curiously, seeing that Huo Yuhao had held back.

"We'll probably have a chance to work together in the future. Let's be friends first."

"You certainly are direct, but I'm honored to be your friend."

Ning Tian had come to study at Shrek Academy to invest in talented people. Otherwise, what use would Shrek Academy be to a Soul Master whose maximum level was only seventy-nine?

Now that a young man with the word "genius" written all over him was willing to be her friend, it was a stroke of incredible luck.

Seeing this, Wang Dong was so angry that her face turned red. They were both young sect masters, so why was he all smiles with Ning Tian but scowled at her?

Huo Yuhao thought highly of Ning Tian, the young sect master of the world's largest trading association.

Huo Yuhao planned to use his advantage to bring about a leap forward in the development of Soul Tools: the research and development of Battle Armor.

Making Battle Armor required large quantities of rare metals, so he badly needed an investor like Ning Tian.

Once Huo Yuhao reached level fifty and equipped himself with a full set of spirit-infused First-Class Battle Armor, he would be able to fight a Soul Douluo head-on in this era.

After that, Huo Yuhao's battle with Xie Huanyue also went exactly as expected. The gap between an ordinary Martial Soul and an Ultimate Martial Soul was simply too great. Huo Yuhao still defeated him with a single strike.

At last, the final match arrived—the long-awaited battle of revenge for Huo Yuhao.
