The Finals (II)

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was the next day.

Wow! Class monitor, there are so many people in the Arena today!

When Huo Yuhao and his two companions walked through the long corridor of the Arena and arrived inside, they were immediately stunned into silence by the sea of Arena before them.

Today, the Shrek Academy Arena was packed with even more people than in the past few days. Some of the stands were full, and spectators were even sitting on the stairs. Some flying students even flapped their wings and flew to the top of the Arena to find seats.

Although many freshmen were eliminated due to the Freshman Competition, this year's lineup of freshmen, which is far stronger than in previous years, has still attracted many upperclassmen to come and observe.

"Qian Duoduo, you shrewd businessman, what brings you to our Martial Soul Department?"

On the highest bleachers of the Arena, Yan Shaozhe looked at Qian Duoduo beside him with some disdain.

"If you can come, why can't I? Yuhao is our Soul Tool Department's precious gem. He's in the finals today, how could I not come to see him?"

Upon hearing Qian Duoduo's words, Yan Shaozhe's face darkened even more. In his view, he was the one who arrived first, yet the Soul Tool Department had already taken half of it.

"Alright, you two are almost a hundred years old. How can you still act like immature seventy- or eighty-year-old kids?"

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Xuan Zi, who was eating a chicken leg, swallowed the chicken leg in one gulp and stretched out her hands to separate the two.

"Yes, Xuan Zi."

The two people separated by Xuan Zi responded with a sound, then looked at the dark handprint on their white robes with some disgust.

Just then, cheers erupted from inside the Arena.

"Go, squad leader!"

"Junior, beat that arrogant brat over there to a pulp. Let him dare bully our goddess Nannan."

"Big brother who spins the wheel, you have to win!"

Upon hearing the last sentence, Huo Yuhao's eyelids twitched and he looked in the direction of the voice. He saw a strong but short, baby-faced senior from the Inner Court standing on a high platform, making a megaphone shape with his hands and shouting.

"Thump"

A loud bang was heard.

"Yao Haoxuan, what are you talking about?!"

Behind the boy was Ma Xiaotao, who had come to watch Huo Yuhao's match.

Her face flushed red with embarrassment, and she clenched her fist and slammed it hard into Yao Haoxuan's head.

"Sister Xiaotao, are you angry because you're embarrassed?"

On the stands, Yao Haoxuan rubbed the large bump on his head and muttered to himself.

What are you saying, kid?

Seeing Ma Xiaotao raise her fist in a threatening gesture again, Yao Haoxuan could only say from the bottom of his heart:

"I say, Captain, your insight is brilliant!"

"Hey! Xiaotao, that handsome junior of yours, is that Huo Yuhao's been inseparable from you these past few months? He really is handsome, no wonder you beat up Dai Yueheng for him."

A young man with effeminate features and fair skin, who appeared to be neither male nor female, spoke up beside Yao Haoxuan.

"Gongyang Mo, are you itching for a beating too?"

"Oh dear! Xiaotao, I was just saying it casually, why are you getting so worked up?"

As soon as Gongyang Mo said this, a rather aloof-looking boy standing next to Ma Xiaotao and a petite and cute girl both turned to look at the place Gongyang Mo pointed out.

"Ahem, it looks a bit small."

"Yes, Sister Xiaotao, isn't what you're doing a bit inappropriate?"

"Shut up, all of you! Stop talking nonsense!"

The people standing next to Ma Xiaotao were her other teammates from the Shrek Seven Devils, but Dai Yueheng, the vice-captain, was not present.

Although Dai Yueheng appears gentle and refined on the surface, his teammates who have spent a lot of time with him know his true nature. In private, Dai Yueheng often impulsive, easily angered, and very arrogant, looking down on others, so his relationship with his teammates is not very good.

After waving and greeting Ma Xiaotao and the others, Huo Yuhao quickly walked onto the arena.

Not far from the arena, a blond youth with bruised eyes and swollen skin was giving instructions to Dai Huabin.

"You were too impulsive this time! Why did you go and provoke that crazy woman Ma Xiaotao's brother for no reason!"

"I understand, elder brother. You don't need to worry about this. Just watch from the stands as I bring glory to the Duke's Estate!"

Dai Huabin said to Dai Yueheng with some impatience.

"Alright, go ahead!"

After giving instructions to Dai Huabin, Dai Yueheng covered her slightly swollen face and stared at Dai Huabin on the stage with a gloomy expression.

These past few days, I don't know what's wrong with Ma Xiaotao, she's been constantly causing him trouble. Yesterday, she even teamed up with Ling Luochеn to challenge him to a sparring match, which was actually just a one-sided beating.

After getting rid of the Evil Fire, and with the help of dual cultivation with Huo Yuhao, Ma Xiaotao's cultivation speed was incredibly fast. In just three months, her Soul Power Level reached level 68. Her Martial Soul quality also underwent a partial transformation, almost reaching the Ultimate Fire.

He only found out yesterday that his good-for-nothing younger brother had gotten into a fight with Ma Xiaotao's lover, and that crazy woman had actually come to cause him trouble. This made him very dissatisfied with this troublemaking brother, just as he had been five years ago, and just a few days ago.

Therefore, even without knowing about the bet between the two, he still very much hoped that Huo Yuhao could help him teach his younger brother a lesson.

"Both parties share the same name!"

Today, the referee on the final stage is no longer Wang Yan, the theoretical teacher, but Du Weilun, the director of the Martial Soul Department.

Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao

"Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Cui Yajie"

Standing on the ring facing Dai Huabin again, Huo Yuhao originally thought he would be furious. However, the opposite was true; he felt calmer than ever before.

Before the competition even started, his brain was already racing, with memories of the past echoing in his mind, and even his pale blue eyes began to turn a faint gray.

"The match begins!"

No sooner had Du Weilun finished speaking than Dai Huabin roared from the ring.

"White Tiger Possession!"

His body began to swell violently, tearing his fitted school uniform to shreds. His blond hair turned black and white, and a pair of enormous tiger claws were held across his chest as if ready to attack at any moment.

The two people beside him were the same; two pink tails appeared behind the pink-haired Cui Yajie, and a pink light flashed in her eyes.

A pale pink streak of light flew towards Huo Yuhao; this was her first Soul Skill, Charm. Its effect was to confuse the opponent through a pink halo and eyes, causing them to lose their will to fight.

Meanwhile, Zhu Lu vanished from her spot in a flash of black light.

"Hmm? Are you planning to deal with me first?"
