Cursed Technique Reversal: Failed
"Your idol isn't all that great. He's been fighting for so long and still hasn't broken through the defense."
"Hmph, that's because our idol hasn't used any Soul Skills yet. Otherwise, he'd beat your idol into a dog in minutes!"
"Look at them getting worked up. So worked up."
The fangirls from both sides started arguing again.
Wang Dong stopped her tingling legs. "What exactly is going on with this Soul Skill?"
"It's clearly just a Ten-Year Soul Ring, so why can't I break through it?"
Wang Dong was utterly confused.
How could a Soul Skill from a Ten-Year Soul Ring be this strong?
Even if she couldn't break it, there shouldn't have been no damage at all, right?
Could it be that this guy had already run out of Soul Power and was just forcing himself to hold on?
Wang Dong looked at Huo Yuhao. He was still calmly eating sweets.
He showed no signs whatsoever of having exhausted his Soul Power.
He looked as if nothing had happened.
"Damn it, this guy's really good at pretending. Even with insufficient Soul Power, he can act completely unfazed."
Wang Dong lightly clenched her delicate fist.
"Looks like if I don't get serious, you'll never understand the gap between us!"
"Martial Soul Possession—Light Goddess Butterfly!"
A dazzling light suddenly burst forth.
"So brilliant!"
"My god! A Martial Soul like this really exists?!"
"This is simply too beautiful!"
"A Martial Soul that can fly! That's extremely rare!"
"So amazing!"
The surrounding students were all stunned by Wang Dong's Martial Soul.
The white-bearded old man smiled faintly. "Light Goddess Butterfly... this child is rather interesting."
Huo Yuhao glanced sideways at her, a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"Your Martial Soul is quite pretty. If you could dance gracefully in the air, that scene would definitely be beautiful..."
Wang Dong's little face had flushed slightly when she heard Huo Yuhao praise her Martial Soul.
But his next words infuriated her.
What did he mean, if she danced gracefully in the air, the scene would be beautiful?
Did he take her for a dancer?
"Go to hell, you hateful bastard!"
"First Soul Skill—Light Goddess Butterfly: Winged Guillotine!"
Her yellow first Soul Ring appeared, forming a sharp golden edge along her wings.
It transformed into a crescent slash and flew toward Huo Yuhao.
Golden light flashed, and the spectators' hearts tightened.
They feared that they would see a bloody scene the next moment.
Unfortunately, that scene did not appear. Wang Dong's Soul Skill was just like her previous attacks.
It was firmly blocked forty centimeters away from Huo Yuhao.
It could not advance even the slightest bit—or rather, it advanced at an infinitely slow pace.
"How is that possible?"
"A Soul Skill from a Hundred-Year Soul Ring can't break a Soul Skill from a Ten-Year Soul Ring?"
"And they're separated by an entire major realm in Soul Power. How is that possible?"
Everyone was astonished.
Shrek Academy was one of the continent's top academies. Though they were disciples of the Outer Academy,
their knowledge and experience were by no means lacking. Yet the scene before them
had truly shocked them.
Because they could not find any reason for Huo Yuhao to have blocked Wang Dong's first Soul Skill.
In terms of Soul Rings, one had a Ten-Year Soul Ring, while the other had a Hundred-Year Soul Ring.
In terms of Soul Power, they were separated by an entire major realm.
So how had he blocked it?
The white-bearded old man stroked his beard and said in puzzlement, "How strange. That boy clearly didn't use a Soul Skill, so how did he block the attack? Was it a Self-Created Soul Skill, or a Soul Tool?"
The white-bearded old man was Shrek Academy's guardian deity.
The ninety-ninth-rank Ultimate Douluo, the "Dragon God Douluo," Mu En.
One of the top powerhouses of the Douluo Continent.
Yet even a powerhouse like him could not immediately see through Huo Yuhao's defensive method.
It was not that Elder Mu lacked strength.
The main reason was that Huo Yuhao's Stopping Power involved space.
If Elder Mu used the spiritual power of an Ultimate Douluo,
he would definitely be able to sense the changes in the space around Huo Yuhao.
Otherwise, unless one was a Soul Master with a spatial Martial Soul or a powerhouse whose spiritual power had reached the level of an Ultimate Douluo,
no one could understand Huo Yuhao's mysterious defensive method.
Wang Dong withdrew her wings and flew into the air.
"What trick did you use? With your Ten-Year Soul Ring, how could you possibly block my Hundred-Year first Soul Skill?"
Huo Yuhao twisted his neck. "Even if I told you... you wouldn't understand, so I can't be bothered explaining."
Wang Dong's face darkened.
He had not even explained it, so what gave him the right to say she would not understand?
What an infuriating bastard.
"All you know is defense. If you have the ability, then attack!"
Wang Dong used a provocation.
She wanted Huo Yuhao to attack so she could find a flaw.
Then she could defeat Huo Yuhao in one stroke.
"Attack..." Huo Yuhao put one hand on his waist and supported his head with the other. "Fine."
Whoosh!
The moment Huo Yuhao finished speaking, he vanished from where he stood.
"How is that possible?"
Wang Dong's eyes could not catch Huo Yuhao's movements.
In the blink of an eye, Huo Yuhao had already arrived before her.
They were twenty meters in the air. How had Huo Yuhao gotten up here?
Countless thoughts flashed through Wang Dong's mind, but before her body could react,
she saw Huo Yuhao form a finger-gun gesture with his right hand.
"Cursed Technique Reversal: Red."
Red Cursed Energy spiraled as it condensed into a black sphere at his fingertips.
The next moment, vast Cursed Energy dyed everything around them red, terrifying power gathering at his fingertips.
Elder Mu abruptly stood up. "Such terrifying power, how could this be..."
"Soul Power... no, Soul Power cannot be this terrifying. I'm more inclined to believe it's spiritual power!"
"This little fellow really has guts, using a Self-Created Soul Skill with this kind of power inside Shrek Academy!"
The spectators instinctively retreated one after another.
Their instincts told them that if they did not leave, they would die.
Wang Dong's body trembled, her mind filled with the fear of death.
I told you to attack, not to unleash your ultimate move, you bastard!
"Failed!"
The red Cursed Energy suddenly dissipated. Huo Yuhao flicked his finger lightly and gave Wang Dong a forehead flick.
Bang!
With a loud crash, Wang Dong fell to the ground.
When the dust cleared, Wang Dong lay on the ground, gasping heavily, still looking shaken.
Huo Yuhao landed steadily. "Little Wang Dong, if you're weak, you need to practice more."
As he spoke, he extended his right hand.
Wang Dong pouted and angrily placed her hand in his.
Just as Huo Yuhao pulled Wang Dong up, she used the momentum to leap forward and knock him down.
"Let's see how you defend this time."
"Damn it, you have no martial virtue. You actually dared to sneak attack an old comrade like me."
The two fought hand-to-hand, rolling and grappling on the ground.
Though they saw it as a fight between men,
in the eyes of others, things had become somewhat intense.
A few fujoshi with particularly unusual interests even blushed furiously with excitement.
"So shippable, this is absolutely so shippable."
"I suggest they get married on the spot."
"No! Idol! You can't do this!"
The onlookers loved watching the drama unfold and kept shouting about how adorable the pairing was.
The fangirls of both sides were even more heartbroken.
Their idols had actually gone gay.
Wang Dong came back to her senses and discovered that her clothes were disheveled. Huo Yuhao was straddling her, one hand holding both of hers down above her head.
It was an extremely suggestive scene.
"Let me go!"
Wang Dong shouted, her face flushed red with embarrassment.
Huo Yuhao raised Wang Dong's chin with his other hand. "Admit you were wrong."
Wang Dong turned her head and shook free from Huo Yuhao's hand. "Absolutely not!"
Huo Yuhao gave a wicked smile, his left hand forming a tickling gesture. "Then don't blame me..."
Seeing this, Wang Dong hurriedly shouted,
"I was wrong! I apologize to you!"
"I accept your apology."
Huo Yuhao released her and stood up.
Then he handed Wang Dong a lollipop. "Have some candy. Candy makes people happy."
Wang Dong accepted the candy, stunned for a moment. "Thank you."
Huo Yuhao brushed the dust from his clothes and walked away.
Wang Dong looked at the lollipop in her hand, unwrapped it, and placed it in her mouth.
The sweet flavor filled her mouth, bringing a sense of happiness to her mind.
"This guy... doesn't seem quite so hateful after all..."
God Realm
Heaven-Peering Hall
Fishfork God King Tang San sneered. "Hmph, Huo Yuhao, you can't escape from the palm of my hand."
"Damn it, you actually dared to touch my daughter with your filthy hands. Once you come to the God Realm, I'll make sure you suffer!"
Thinking of the two of them grappling earlier,
Fishfork God King Tang San added another crime to Huo Yuhao's list in his heart.
Molesting his adorable daughter.
