As Huo Yuhao was leaving, he glanced toward Tianling Academy out of the corner of his eye. He paused briefly, then changed course and walked toward its team members.
The competition platform was five meters high. That was hardly anything to a Soul Master, but falling off without warning had still left them with some cuts and bruises.
At that moment, the short male student who had hurriedly changed his trousers earlier was covering his crotch in mortification. A large wet patch stained his black trousers; apparently, he had wet himself in fright again.
It was not particularly noticeable while he lay on the ground, but if he stood up, the spectators around him would inevitably see his disgrace. It might even spread throughout the entire Douluo Continent afterward.
Suddenly, a black robe flew in from the side and landed over the short male student. He raised his head in surprise, just in time to see Huo Yuhao turn and walk away.
"Thank you, brother... For your kindness today... I, Yue Shan, will repay you someday..." the short male student said gratefully.
Huo Yuhao showed little reaction. He had merely done it in passing. To him, this was only a competition. Letting someone become a laughingstock across the entire continent and lose all standing because of it seemed a little excessive.
Huo Yuhao had not the slightest mercy for his enemies. But he would not be overly cold toward people who had no quarrel with him.
When he returned to Shrek Academy's preparation area, Wang Yan and the others no longer even dared to speak to him. They could not help it; Huo Yuhao had shocked them far too deeply. The sheer flood of information had nearly made their heads burst.
However, teachers and students from other academies surrounded them.
