Huo Yuhao Cheated, and Wang Dong'er Got Angry

Tang Ya chuckled. "I didn't expect you to figure it out. Those two really did come to the Soul Fighting Zone to make some money."

"Yuhao, this friend of yours is pretty clever. Want to join the Tang Sect?"

"Wang Dong, do you want to join?" Huo Yuhao looked at Wang Dong'er expectantly.

Wang Dong'er considered it in silence. In her previous life, she had indeed joined the Tang Sect because she had thought it was the sect her father had founded. But in this life, she only wanted to stay as far away as possible from anything connected to Tang San.

"I'll pass."

"Ah, what a shame. Our Tang Sect has a history stretching back ten thousand years, you know. You've heard of Tang San, right? He's our founder."

"No, thank you." Wang Dong'er politely refused again.

"All right. You're always welcome to join the Tang Sect."

Tang Ya was eager to revive the Tang Sect, so whenever she met someone suitable, she wanted to recruit them. But the Tang Sect had fallen so far that no one was willing to join. Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao had only joined because of Tang Ya.

While they were chatting, Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi had already begun fighting on the soul fighting stage.

Bei Bei's martial soul was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, one of the strongest beast martial souls. Ten thousand years ago, it had been called the strongest power attack system beast martial soul, and it still held that title today.

Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Turtle was also a top-tier beast martial soul, renowned for its defense. In the outer court, Xu Sanshi was known as the "strongest shield."

Everyone was eager to see which would win—the strongest spear or the strongest shield.

Blue lightning flickered over Bei Bei's arm as he rushed toward Xu Sanshi.

Xu Sanshi immediately raised his shield in front of him, forming a dome of light around himself.

Bei Bei's dragon claw slammed into the turtle-shell shield, the tremendous force sending Xu Sanshi sliding backward.

"Xuanming Tremor!"

After his Xuanming Shield blocked Bei Bei's attack, Xu Sanshi immediately unleashed his first soul skill.

At the same time, two soul rings behind Bei Bei lit up together. Powerful lightning burst forth, tearing through Xu Sanshi's dome of light.

Just as Xu Sanshi was about to counterattack, he suddenly felt as though his head had been struck by a hammer. His body froze.

Bei Bei immediately circled behind Xu Sanshi and kicked him in the calf.

Xu Sanshi crashed to the ground.

Wang Dong'er looked at Huo Yuhao and saw purple and golden light flickering in his eyes.

"Yuhao, was that you just now?"

Huo Yuhao gave a furtive smile. "That's right. It was my soul skill."

Wang Dong'er was a little upset. "I'm leaving."

Wang Dong'er stood up, turned around, and left the spectator stands.

Huo Yuhao was puzzled. Why did she suddenly leave?

After walking out of the Soul Fighting Zone, Wang Dong'er glanced back, only to discover that Huo Yuhao hadn't followed her. She stamped her foot, feeling irritated.

Huo Yuhao's covert interference had upset Wang Dong'er a little.

Even if they lost the match, Wang Dong'er felt they should lose fair and square. Launching a sneak attack from outside the arena seriously undermined the fairness of the competition.

Wang Dong'er had also walked out to see whether Huo Yuhao would notice her mood and follow her. Yet that fellow hadn't reacted at all.

The more Wang Dong'er thought about it, the angrier she became. She returned to the dormitory in a huff.

About half an hour later, Huo Yuhao returned.

He entered their room and said to Wang Dong'er with a broad smile, "Wang Dong, look! This is the Mystic Water Pill Senior Bei Bei gave me."

Wang Dong'er was meditating with her eyes closed and ignored him.

"What's wrong? I noticed you seemed upset during the match."

Wang Dong'er gave a little inward snort.

She opened her eyes, looked at Huo Yuhao, and said, "Eat something you earned by cheating, and it'll give you diarrhea."

"But Xu Sanshi was the one who bullied us first, wasn't he? Of course I had to help Senior Brother Bei Bei win."

"If every match had someone using dirty tricks from outside the arena, what would be the point of competing?"

Soul fighting matches were already among the few relatively fair kinds of combat. If anyone could interfere from outside the arena, victory would simply go to whoever had the most powerful backing.

Commoner children like Huo Yuhao would have no chance of winning at all.

Wang Dong'er wasn't some great saint, either. She would launch sneak attacks herself, but there was a time and place for them.

Hearing Wang Dong'er's pointed question, Huo Yuhao also felt that what he had done really wasn't right.

"I'm sorry. I only wanted to teach Xu Sanshi a lesson. Don't worry, I promise I won't do it again."

"Really?"

Huo Yuhao nodded earnestly. "Really. If I do it again, you can punish me however you like."

"All right, then it's a deal."

"Actually, if you want to teach Xu Sanshi a lesson, there's no need to ambush him on the soul fighting stage. You can defeat him head-on once you're stronger."

"But the gap between us is so big. I'm afraid beating him is impossible." Huo Yuhao scratched his head.

"Yuhao, you need to have confidence in yourself. I believe you'll surpass Xu Sanshi before long. In the future, you can become the second-strongest soul master on the entire Douluo Continent."

The second-strongest soul master? Huo Yuhao didn't dare dream of that.

He only wanted to become a little stronger and avenge his mother.

What Huo Yuhao didn't know, however, was that to avenge his mother, he would have to become a soul master standing at the very pinnacle of the continent.

"Wait, you just said second. Who's first, then?" Huo Yuhao suddenly caught on.

"Me, of course."

"Oh, really? Then I'll have to put that to the test."

Huo Yuhao suddenly lunged at her, pinned Wang Dong'er to the bed, and reached out to tickle her.

Wang Dong'er's body trembled, and her face instantly turned red.

"Huo Yuhao, what are you doing?"

"Didn't you say you were stronger than me? Then let me see it."

Wang Dong'er twisted forcefully, reversing their positions and pinning Huo Yuhao beneath her.

"You dare tickle me? I'll tickle you to death!"

But Huo Yuhao seemed immune to tickling and didn't react at all.

He tickled Wang Dong'er's waist, and she immediately lost her strength.

She lay on the bed, laughing helplessly as Huo Yuhao tickled her.

"Enough, Yuhao! Stop, I can't take it anymore. I surrender! I surrender!"

Only after Wang Dong'er surrendered did Huo Yuhao stop.

He flicked his nose. "Now you know who's really number one on the continent, right?"

"You! It's you, all right? So childish."

Although she had already lived one life and begun another, Wang Dong'er didn't know why being around Huo Yuhao made her childish, too.

"Now that you've got the Mystic Water Pill, hurry up and take it. Your soul power really is pitifully low."

Huo Yuhao's soul power had only just reached rank eleven. By all rights, that wasn't even enough to get his foot through Shrek Academy's door.

"All right, I'll give it a taste."

Huo Yuhao put the Mystic Water Pill in his mouth and chewed it. "Hmm, it tastes strange."

After swallowing it, he felt the soul power inside his body begin to surge.

Huo Yuhao suddenly clutched his stomach, feeling his insides churn violently.

"I can't hold it—the toilet!"

Huo Yuhao rushed into the bathroom.

Wang Dong'er burst out laughing. "See? You did something bad, and now you've got diarrhea!"
