Yan Shaozhe, standing in the stands, looked at Lin Xi and the others with amusement.
Whether to help Lin Xi or Dai Huabin was not a question in his view.
Lin Xi's talent is unprecedented even in Shrek's records; he would be a fool to go against Lin Xi's wishes.
Moreover, even disregarding talent, Dai Huabin, the second young master of the White Tiger Duke's family, cannot compare to Lin Xi, a noble orphan.
After all, no matter how strong Dai Huabin is, he is still a member of the Duke's Mansion.
As for Lin Xi, an orphan, she will most likely end up staying at the academy.
Besides, he was indeed very interested in Huo Yutong.
He really wanted to know why Qian Duoduo and the others cared so much about her, and why they would specifically mention her after deciding on Lin Xi's destination.
With so many factors combined, Dai Huabin had no choice but to fight this battle.
Dai Huabin was dumbfounded.
He never expected Shrek Academy to be so unethical.
As he watched the petite girl slowly walk towards him, he took two deep breaths, his expression turning completely cold.
Alright, let's fight then.
Just because a tiger doesn't show its power doesn't mean it's a pushover.
He's a genius who's considered top-tier in the entire Shrek; this little girl is no match for him.
Dai Huabin's lips twisted into a distorted upward smirk.
Since Lin Xi is doing this, then he doesn't need to hold back later.
He wanted to inflict a wound on the girl named Huo Yutong that would be impossible for her to heal for the rest of her life, and make Lin Xi regret it for the rest of her life!
Huo Yutong stared expressionlessly at Dai Huabin, whose eyes were flashing with a fierce light.
After learning yesterday that she was finally going to run into Dai Huabin and his group, Lin Xi went to her and asked how to deal with this arrogant spoiled brat.
With their current strength, Dai Huabin is no longer a threat to them.
If Huo Yutong agrees, Lin Xi can help her beat Dai Huabin on the spot during the competition.
However, Huo Yutong stated that she did not want Lin Xi to get involved and that she wanted to resolve the matter herself.
As long as you're human, there are always things you don't want others to touch upon, not even your closest relatives.
For Huo Yutong, revenge had to be taken personally.
Even if it's difficult or slow, revenge must ultimately be carried out by the person involved to truly vent their anger.
After all, whether it's good or bad, it's her own emotion.
When Lin Xi heard her say that, she revealed a smile that Lin Xi couldn't understand.
Even she couldn't understand Lin Xi's emotions at that time.
What she didn't know was that in her previous life, when Lin Xi watched Peerless Tang Sect, the parts she hated most were Heaven and Earth Shit Valley and the final family reunion scene.
During the family reunion, the Duchess's fate was one of the things Lin Xi absolutely could not accept.
The most painful thing for Avenger is never the lack of power to take revenge.
Instead, he finally had the power to take revenge, but the target of his revenge was already dead.
The Duchess is in this situation.
That feeling of frustration is so intense that just imagining it makes you want to vomit blood.
So Lin Xi was overjoyed that Huo Yutong thought that way; there was no way she could refuse.
Seeing that both sides had taken their positions, the referee nodded.
"Therefore, with the mutual agreement of both parties, the outcome of this match will be determined by the result of the contest between students Huo Yutong and Dai Huabin. The match shall now begin."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Dai Huabin lunged at Huo Yutong.
At the same time, a strong, pale white light suddenly burst forth from his body, instantly turning his golden hair into a mix of black and white, with white making up the majority and a few strands of black hair standing out prominently. Four faint lines appeared on his forehead, three horizontal and one vertical, forming the Chinese character for "king".
His hands underwent the most dramatic change, more than doubling in size. White fur covered his entire palms, and with each flick of his fingers, short, dagger-like claws extended and retracted from his hands. Each claw was like a blade, a full eight inches long, gleaming with a sinister, cold light.
He wanted to vent all his anger on Huo Yutong!
A vague, indescribable emotion flashed across Huo Yutong's eyes.
This is Dai Huabin's Martial Soul.
Her mother most wanted her to awaken the White Tiger Martial Soul.
If her Martial Soul had been a white tiger instead of an eye when it Martial Soul Awakening, would her life as mother and daughter have been different?
Huo Yutong didn't know that; all she knew was that she was very fortunate to have awakened the Spirit Eyes.
It was precisely because her Martial Soul was the Spirit Eyes that Lin Xi chose to seek her out and cooperate with her, giving her the opportunity to meet the most important person in her life.
Sometimes Lin Xi would jokingly call her the chosen one, because in her opinion, if she really was the chosen one, then meeting Lin Xi was her greatest fortune.
The past cannot be rewritten; what she should grasp is the future.
A network of Spiritual Detection rapidly unfolded around Huo Yutong, revealing every detail of Dai Huabin's actions to her.
By simply shifting her body slightly to the side, she dodged Dai Huabin's attack, then raised her longsword and thrust it towards his chest.
"Tch... all that petty trickery!"
Dai Huabin clicked his tongue in displeasure, and one of his three Soul Ring lit up.
The White Tiger Protective Barrier was instantly cast upon him.
This Soul Skill was able to help him defend against Huo Yutong's attack, but Huo Yutong was Kongmen open because of it.
This is the difference between one ring and three rings; he can easily use the advantage of having more Soul Skill to crush his opponents.
However, he couldn't go too far with this attack. It wouldn't be good if he eliminated Huo Yutong in one go; he still wanted to torment her properly.
Dai Huabin smiled cruelly, thinking gleefully.
However, the next second, his smile froze on his face.
As Huo Yutong's sword pierced his body, he felt a powerful force, and he was actually forced to retreat backward, his prepared attack naturally missing its mark.
This completely stunned Dai Huabin.
What happened?
He actually lost in pure strength?
How could that be!
He certainly couldn't understand, since Huo Yutong had never used Reinforcement Magecraft in the previous freshman assessments, so naturally no one knew where her physical limits lay.
In fact, with her current physical abilities enhanced by Reinforcement Magecraft, she is in no way inferior to an ordinary Power Attack System Soul Elder.
If the sword she used hadn't been of such poor quality, she could have disemboweled Dai Huabin with that single blow.
Dai Huabin was indeed in a state of confusion, but Huo Yutong was not.
If she can't even catch such an obvious stiffness, then all her swordsmanship training over the past few years has been for nothing.
With a flash of sword light, Huo Yutong seized the opportunity of Dai Huabin's confusion and launched a swift pursuit.
Dai Huabin had no choice but to retreat repeatedly. The more he fought, the more alarmed he became. Huo Yutong not only had amazing physical strength, but her swordsmanship was also beyond his imagination. He could feel that his fighting rhythm was being completely controlled by her, and he was slowly sliding into the abyss.
This can't go on any longer, Dai Huabin made up his mind.
As the purple Soul Ring slowly lit up, Dai Huabin's already robust body, enhanced by the White Tiger Possession Martial Soul, swelled again. His muscles bulged exaggeratedly, his clothes were completely stretched taut, revealing clear muscle contours. Most strangely, black horizontal stripes appeared on his skin, making him look almost like a tiger skin if he weren't hairless.
The Third Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation.
He was determined to use overwhelming force to eliminate Huo Yutong!
He didn't notice that his mindset had quietly changed.
From completely disregarding Huo Yutong, to plotting how to torment her, to finally having to use her ultimate weapon to ensure absolute success.
This demonstrates just how formidable Huo Yutong's abilities are.
However, this is far from the end.
As the Spiritual Detection target was aimed at Dai Huabin's head, Huo Yutong slowly narrowed her eyes.
The Emotion Control that drove countless students to despair during this assessment have finally been activated.
