Huo Yuhao Wanted to Kill Someone

With a sudden thought, Huo Yuhao almost instinctively wanted to turn around and run into the Teaching Building.

Yes, run back to the classroom! Once they're in the classroom with a teacher, even if these two are arrogant, they won't dare to cause trouble in class.

They were, after all, just students. Faced with teachers who were Soul Emperor and held absolute authority at Shrek, their limited backing and courage were probably no match for them.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao pushed off the ground with his right foot, trying to use the momentum to turn around.

But in that very instant, something unexpected happened!

The anger that he had been forcibly suppressing seemed to have a strange backlash at this moment, or perhaps for some other reason.

He felt a sudden, sharp pain in his right knee, as if the muscles and bones supporting his body had been pulled away in an instant.

His right foot, which had been brimming with power, now felt as if it were stepping on a ball of cotton. Not only did he fail to gain any leverage, but due to improper exertion, his center of gravity shifted, and he uncontrollably slumped downwards.

"Well!"

Huo Yuhao groaned and tried to support himself with his left foot, but a tingling sensation also came from his left foot, as if even his bone marrow had turned into mud.

Before he could even take any corrective action, he had already fallen forward uncontrollably.

The posture was extremely awkward; he didn't fall forward, but rather his knees buckled, and he knelt straight down on the ground.

"Bang!"

The sound, though not loud, was exceptionally jarring as the knee struck the ground, and it rang out clearly.

Huo Yuhao knelt down, and due to inertia, his upper body leaned slightly forward, his forehead almost touching the toes of the two senior students' shoes.

To anyone else, this posture can only be interpreted in one way: kneeling!

Huo Yuhao's mind went blank for a moment, followed by a volcanic eruption of shame, anger, and disbelief!

He... he actually knelt down before someone?!

In broad daylight, at the entrance of the Shrek Academy's Teaching Building, under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes.

He, Huo Yuhao, actually knelt down before these two troublemaking senior students?!

This humiliation was more intense and more profound than the humiliation he had suffered at the White Tiger Duke's Estate from the servants!

He endured humiliation and hardship in the Duke's Mansion in order to survive, to find his mother, and to become stronger; he never knelt before anyone!

But today, in this Shrek Academy, which claims to be fair and just, he was forced to make such a humiliating move because of a despicable trap!

"You... you cheated!"

Huo Yuhao suddenly raised his head, his face turning purplish-red with extreme anger, and even the veins on his neck bulged.

His voice was distorted with agitation and discomfort, tinged with obvious exasperation. "Why... can't I move?!"

He stared intently at the two laughing senior students, his eyes no longer filled with the restraint or anger of before, but with a hatred that was almost tangible and wanted to tear people apart!

The two senior students were initially taken aback by Huo Yuhao's sudden kneeling, but then the one with a light scar on his face quickly realized what was happening.

He slowly pulled a small white jade porcelain bottle from his pocket and shook it in his hand, as if displaying some remarkable trophy.

The porcelain bottles clinked together, producing a crisp sound; clearly, little liquid remained inside.

He uncorked the bottle, and a very faint, almost imperceptible sweet fragrance wafted out, instantly dissipating into the air.

The meaning is self-evident: Huo Yuhao's symptoms of weakness and numbness, and his inability to support himself, were clearly caused by this thing!

It's a colorless and odorless powder that can numb nerves and soften bones!

Upon seeing this, Huo Yuhao clenched his fists tightly.

His eyes were bloodshot and bulging with hatred that seemed to overflow, shooting undisguisedly at the two deceitful students.

That murderous aura was cold and sharp, carrying a kind of malevolent energy that seemed to have crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. It made the two students, who had been grinning the whole time, suddenly jump and instinctively take half a step back.

They've bullied their classmates and the weak more than once or twice. Relying on their talent and connections, they've become used to running rampant in the academy.

In the past, the students who were bullied by them either dared not speak out in anger or cried and begged for mercy. When had they ever seen such a look in their eyes?

That wasn't the anger of a child who had been bullied, but the glare of a dying beast at its hunter, as if it were about to pounce at him any second, even if it meant mutual destruction!

There's murderous intent in that kid's eyes! He really wants to kill!

"Damn it! You little brat, who are you trying to scare?"

The student who had just taken out the medicine bottle seemed to feel uneasy under Huo Yuhao's gaze, but then he remembered that the other party couldn't even stand up now and was just a tiger with its teeth pulled, so he became furious.

He stepped forward, without summoning his Martial Soul at all. Relying solely on the powerful physique of a level 37 Soul Master, he swung his fan-like hand, creating a whistling sound, and slapped Huo Yuhao hard on the shoulder!

"Smack!"

A crisp sound!

This palm strike landed squarely on Huo Yuhao, who had suffered from malnutrition since childhood, was thin, and whose physical abilities were far inferior to those of a normal Soul Master.

Moreover, the other party is a senior student with Soul Power level of thirty-seven.

The force of that palm strike sent Huo Yuhao flying several meters sideways, like a kite with a broken string.

Then came another violent coughing fit, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth.

"Hmph! You think you're so great, huh?"

Another student, who hadn't made a move yet and was slightly shorter and stockier, also came over.

He crouched down and poked Huo Yuhao's forehead with his finger in an almost insulting manner, a cruel mockery on his face. "After kneeling down to us two brothers, you still dare to look at us like that?"

"You little bastard, do you believe that we two brothers will gouge out your ungrateful eyes right now, so you'll be forced to crawl and look at people for the rest of your life?"

His words were cold and laced with undisguised malice.

However, this blatant threat sounded like a spark thrown into a pot of boiling oil to Huo Yuhao.

The anticipated fear or further retreat did not occur. Instead, Huo Yuhao's eyes, which had been somewhat unfocused due to pain and medication, suddenly focused, becoming sharper and colder.

The rage that was almost burning away reason was not extinguished by the slap; instead, it burned even more fiercely, even taking on a destructive madness.

He tried to push himself up with his hands, wanting to force himself to stand up, even if it meant falling again, he wanted to lunge at the two men.

That posture didn't resemble a human; it was more like a wounded, dying wolf cub, knowing it was no match for the enemy, yet still baring its bloodied fangs.
