The spot where Huo Yuhao saw Dai Huabin was right in the very center of the stands.
Dai Huabin's dazzling, uniquely golden hair made him stand out sharply from the surrounding crowd.
Anyone familiar with the basics of the Star Luo Empire knew that the direct bloodline of the White Tiger Duke Mansion invariably had golden hair, as well as the most recognizable trait of all: the double pupils inherited along with the White Tiger Martial Soul.
Even if those eyes were reduced to ashes, Huo Yuhao would still recognize them.
Just as Huo Yuhao continued staring at Dai Huabin, a voice pulled him back to the present.
Xue Ningbing noticed that Huo Yuhao had been looking around the stands instead of paying attention to the match, so she asked, "What are you looking at?"
Seeing that it was Xue Ningbing, Huo Yuhao simply replied, "Nothing. I just sensed an aura that disgusts me."
"Is that so?" Xue Ningbing looked at Huo Yuhao with some confusion.
Huo Yuhao was an auspicious beast. There were very few auras capable of making him feel disgusted. Following the direction he had been watching, Xue Ningbing spotted the unusually conspicuous Dai Huabin.
Without giving it much thought, Xue Ningbing decided that Dai Huabin was the owner of the aura that repulsed Huo Yuhao.
It seemed she needed to keep a closer eye on that golden-haired fellow. She could not let him harm Huo Yuhao.
As Dai Huabin quietly watched the two senior students duel, an indescribable chill suddenly rose behind him.
Although he did not know who the source of that chill was, he could clearly sense that it was aimed at him. There was no other reason; he was the only one affected by it.
Dai Huabin's entire body was now trapped in a state of freezing cold, while everyone else seemed completely unaffected.
He could not understand what he had done wrong or why the owner of that chill was targeting him so relentlessly.
As far as he remembered, he had never dealt with anyone whose Martial Soul had an ice attribute.
Other than his older brother's teammate, he did not know anyone else with an ice-attributed Martial Soul.
Forget it. He should leave this damn place as soon as possible. If he stayed any longer, he might freeze to death.
Without further thought, Dai Huabin could only leave the stands. The white mist rising from behind him was exceptionally obvious.
When Huo Yuhao saw Dai Huabin leave the Soul Duel Arena stands, he knew his method had worked.
Dai Huabin, you'd better enjoy this greeting gift from someone you haven't officially met yet.
If there had not been so many people here, Huo Yuhao would have attacked Dai Huabin with ice spikes.
Still, making Dai Huabin experience cold he could not endure was already deeply satisfying to Huo Yuhao. He would treat it as an appetizer.
I need to think carefully about how to make Dai Huabin suffer beyond endurance.
Perhaps I should start with his so-called fiancée, Zhu Lu.
If I remember correctly, Dai Huabin later seemed to develop feelings for either Wang Donger or Wang Qiuer.
I might as well use that to drive a wedge between Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu until they can no longer use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Then I can reap the benefits.
That will serve as punishment for Dai Huabin liking my wife in his previous life.
After seeing Dai Huabin leave the stands, Huo Yuhao turned all his attention back to the match.
The battle between Xu Sanshi and Beibei was growing increasingly intense as it entered its climax.
Tang Ya excitedly stood up and shouted, "Go, Beibei! Take down Xu Sanshi!"
Jiang Nannan, who was sitting beside Tang Ya, felt somewhat displeased upon hearing her close friend say that.
However, she was not as outspoken as Tang Ya and naturally could not imitate what Tang Ya had just shouted.
After all, shouting something like that in front of so many people would be rather embarrassing for her.
Fortunately, before the match began, she had privately told Xu Sanshi that if he lost to Beibei, he should prepare to accept her punishment. It would definitely be something Xu Sanshi would never forget.
On the Soul Duel Arena, the two had initially fought without either gaining the upper hand, almost as if they were fooling around. Only as the battle progressed did Beibei and Xu Sanshi begin exerting their strength.
At first, Beibei had Xu Sanshi firmly suppressed. When they saw that Beibei seemed stronger, all the assault-type students present loudly cheered his name.
Seeing the opposing side's morale soar, the defense-type students refused to be discouraged and began cheering continuously as well.
As Soul Masters from both factions cheered for their representatives, Beibei and Xu Sanshi decided to get serious.
One possessed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, praised as the strongest offensive Martial Soul, while the other possessed the Black Tortoise Turtle, praised as the strongest defensive Martial Soul.
At the beginning, they had merely been sparring casually to earn a little money, but neither had expected things to develop to this point.
"Since that's the case, Beibei, I won't hold back either. I'll stake the honor of us defense Soul Masters on this!"
"Then I suppose I should stake the honor of us assault Soul Masters as well."
Beibei and Xu Sanshi reached an agreement. Neither would hold back again. They would decide the victor with their strongest attacks.
However, although the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was powerful, it was ultimately inferior to the Golden Saint Dragon. In his previous life, Beibei had not necessarily been confident of defeating Xu Sanshi's Dark Nether Turtle, much less the Xu Sanshi who could now fully evolve it into a Black Tortoise Turtle.
Moreover, Xu Sanshi's soul power was clearly higher than Beibei's.
Beibei struck first. Three soul rings appeared around him—one yellow and two purple.
Xu Sanshi's three soul rings appeared as well.
Countless bolts of lightning emerged around Beibei.
His third and second soul rings shone brilliantly with yellow light. Lightning power covered Beibei's entire body, and countless snake-like bolts of lightning appeared and expanded without limit. They gradually formed a net of thunder and lightning, which flashed toward Xu Sanshi like lightning appearing and vanishing, engulfing him.
Seeing the lightning net about to reach him, Xu Sanshi swiftly activated all three of his soul rings and fused them together.
Two hundred-year soul rings and one thousand-year soul ring rapidly increased in age through fusion, temporarily elevating the newly formed soul ring, which should have been a thousand-year ring, into a ten-thousand-year soul ring.
The Black Tortoise Shield in Xu Sanshi's hand released dark green ripples. Those ripples directly intercepted Beibei's lightning net and swallowed it after blocking it.
After dealing with the troublesome lightning net, a massive phantom appeared behind Xu Sanshi.
