Another Hunt for Transmigrators-Huo Yuhao's Kill Count Goes Up by Two!

His thousand-year second soul ring lit up. Two blades of azure sword energy shot from the Seven Killing Sword like bolts of azure lightning!

Azure sword energy filled the space within three feet of Chen Jue, turning it into his domain!

"First soul skill: Blue Silver Protection!"

"First soul skill: Protego Totalum!"

Lan Sheng and Wu Shi turned pale with fright. In their panic, they both unleashed their strongest defensive measures.

Layer upon layer of Blue Silver Grass wrapped Lan Sheng so tightly that not a gap remained, while a silvery-white barrier enveloped Wu Shi.

But it was still like trying to stop a cart with a mantis's arms!

Before Green Snake from Both Sleeves, the seemingly sturdy Blue Silver Grass and protective barrier shattered almost instantly!

The azure sword energy pierced straight through them. Both flew backward like kites with severed strings, spraying blood!

But neither had managed to call out a surrender. They had only themselves to blame.

The teacher overseeing the test walked over and took his time checking their injuries.

The sword energy had passed through them, but it hadn't struck their organs. They wouldn't die.

And according to their records, neither had a powerful faction backing them.

Then there was no problem.

The teacher waved a hand as though shooing away flies.

"You're fine. Rest for two months and you'll recover."

"You two are eliminated. Go home!"

With that, he turned and walked toward the edge of the testing ground.

Huo Yuhao sat on a little stool, happily cracking sunflower seeds from a handful he held.

At this rate, all he needed was a pot of tea.

The teacher came up to him and shot him an irritated glare.

"All right, you two passed!"

"Hurry up and complete your enrollment!"

Huo Yuhao quickly stood and brushed the sunflower seed shells off his clothes.

"Thank you, teacher!"

The teacher rolled his eyes.

"You sure got lucky, kid. You didn't lift a finger, yet you still managed to sneak your way in."

"Still, luck is part of strength."

"Take this to the academic affairs office for your uniform and dorm key."

The teacher tossed him a stamped certificate.

Huo Yuhao caught it and looked into the distance.

Chen Jue happened to be looking his way.

Their eyes met across the testing ground, and Huo Yuhao smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.

Chen Jue remained as cold and aloof as ever.

He gave Huo Yuhao a brief glance, not even bothering to nod.

Then he put away the Seven Killing Sword and turned to leave.

Huo Yuhao watched his retreating back with a knowing smile.

Arrogant?

Good. The more arrogant someone was, the more openings they left.

"Teacher, I left some luggage at a hotel in Shrek City. May I go back and get it?"

Huo Yuhao turned to the teacher with an apologetic smile.

"Go on, then. Just be quick."

The teacher waved him off.

"When you get back, take that certificate to the academic affairs office. Don't miss enrollment."

"Thank you, teacher!"

Shrek City, Regent Hotel.

Knock, knock, knock...

A rapid series of knocks sounded at the door.

Inside the room, Wu Shi tightened the bandages around herself and leaned against the headboard, her face pale.

At the sound, she frowned in confusion, forced herself out of bed, and opened the door.

"Who is it?"

But when Wu Shi saw who stood outside, she froze.

Huo Yuhao? The protagonist of the original story? The Child of the Plane?

"Huo Yuhao, what are you doing here?"

Wu Shi looked utterly baffled.

Huo Yuhao stood awkwardly in the doorway, holding an elegant fruit basket, his face bright red.

"You were hurt, so I... came to see you."

"How did you know I was staying here?"

Wu Shi eyed him warily.

Huo Yuhao's face reddened further, and he nervously twisted his fingers together.

"I've never seen a girl as pretty as you before... So I felt a little..."

"After the test... I followed you..."

His hesitant, tongue-tied manner was just like Xiao Chunan's, who had never been in love.

Wu Shi was stunned.

Huo Yuhao, the protagonist of the original story and the Child of the Plane... had a crush on me?

After all, in her previous life, she had been an avid reader of Douluo Continent fanfiction.

She had read hundreds of Huo Yuhao fanfics, if not a thousand.

But she had never imagined that one day, Huo Yuhao himself would fall in love with her!

The wariness on Wu Shi's face visibly melted away.

In its place came the tenderness of an older sister looking at an adorable younger boy.

"Little Yuhao..."

She gently bit her lip.

"I know how you feel."

"But..."

Wu Shi changed tack, her eyes suddenly blazing with fervor.

"To me, you're supposed to have a heartbreaking romance with your senior brother Bei Bei!"

"Or He Caitou would work too. He's also your senior brother, but he's dark-skinned and burly, so the visual impact is even stronger!"

"I also read one where Tang Wutong turned into a man in Love Valley of Heaven and Earth, and then the two of you..."

"As for me..."

She clasped her hands, looking utterly enraptured.

"My goal is to have every handsome man on Douluo Continent!"

"Bei Bei, Xu Tianran, Xiao Hongchen, Dai Yueheng, Dai Huabin, Dai Hao..."

"And in the Divine Realm, Tang San, the God of Destruction, Zhou Weiqing, Rong Nianbing, Ji Dong..."

Wu Shi had sunk completely into her fantasy, her eyes practically bubbling with pink hearts.

Huo Yuhao fought to keep his face from twitching. Smiling, he nodded along and quietly circled behind her.

The next instant—

"Dragon-Subduing Palm: Regretful Dragon!"

His palm struck like a dragon!

The terrifying force of the blow passed through the fruit basket in Huo Yuhao's hand and slammed squarely into her chest, right where the sword had wounded her!

The wound a healing soul master had temporarily closed split open again under the blow!

Wu Shi's organs were crushed by Huo Yuhao's palm strike!

"Pfft!"

Blood gushed from Wu Shi's mouth like a fountain. Before she could even scream, she collapsed to the floor like a heap of mud.

Wu Shi's eyes widened as she stared at Huo Yuhao.

They were filled with terror, anger, and disbelief.

She couldn't understand it.

Why had the boy who had blushed and been too shy to look at her a moment ago suddenly become an Asura come to claim her life?

Huo Yuhao gave a cold laugh and tossed aside the fruit basket, now completely mangled.

"The basket cushioned the blow, so your body won't bear the imprint of the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms."

"When they investigate, no one will suspect me."

"In your next life, read less fanfiction that isn't fit for kids!"

"Disgusting!"

"And Love Valley of Heaven and Earth? That's even more disgusting!"

A rasping sound came from Wu Shi's throat as blood kept spilling from the corners of her mouth.

Life was rapidly draining from her body.

Huo Yuhao smiled faintly and looked down at her.

"Oh, right. Didn't you say you wanted Tang San in your harem too?"

"In that case, I'll send you someone close enough."

Huo Yuhao clapped his hands.

The next instant, Lan Sheng walked into the room with stiff, halting steps, his expression vacant.

His eyes were empty, like those of a puppet controlled by strings.

Before coming to the Regent Hotel, Huo Yuhao had sought out Lan Sheng, whose mental strength was weaker.

Already gravely injured, Lan Sheng had fallen under Huo Yuhao's first soul skill, Psychic Control, and become his puppet!

"Lan Sheng came through the hotel entrance. I climbed in through the window. Nobody saw me."

"The perfect scapegoat!"

Huo Yuhao patted Lan Sheng on the shoulder.

"Failed the entrance test, nursed a grudge, and lashed out!"

"Listen to that. It sounds perfect..."

"With a fellow countryman who has a Blue Silver Grass martial soul dying alongside you, you can rest in peace!"

Wu Shi's pupils suddenly dilated, and the light faded from her eyes for good.

Then the White Tiger Dagger flashed and sliced through Lan Sheng's neck, leaving a wound just like one caused by the Sectumsempra soul skill.

Huo Yuhao's transmigrator kill count went up by two!

Next came the thrilling part: collecting the loot!

Huo Yuhao rubbed his hands together and removed the Storage Soul Tool Bracelet from Wu Shi's wrist.

The next instant, his eyes lit up with delight.

"This is..."

"The Complete Guide to Potions from Harry Potter?!"
