Two simple words, yet they were like a divine decree. The six Soul King instantly turned pale, their knees slamming uncontrollably into the ground. The two Soul Emperor barely managed to hold on, but they too collapsed to their knees three seconds later, veins bulging on their foreheads.
To their horror, they discovered that the boy's figure was rising higher and higher in their line of sight, as if transforming into an unapproachable god. The oppressive feeling that came from the depths of their blood made it incredibly difficult for them to even look up.
Wang Shaojie collapsed to the ground, his crotch soaked. Trembling, he looked up at Huo Yuhao, finally realizing the kind of person he had provoked.
That wasn't the kind of oppressive aura a human being should possess; it was the aura of a monarch Reign Over the World over all living beings, and kneeling before a monarch was as natural as it should be.
"You... what kind of monster are you..." Wang Shaojie's voice was choked with sobs.
Huo Yuhao's voice was very soft, yet it echoed in the corridor like the whisper of God of Death. With each word he spoke, Wang Shaojie trembled even more violently, his dark face turning ashen white.
The name " Wang Shaojie " struck the hearts of everyone present like a heavy hammer. The Soul Emperor captain was already kneeling on one knee, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead. He had never felt such terrifying pressure before.
Huo Yuhao stepped on the other man's trembling knee, leaned closer, and said, " Wang Shaojie, you bastard, Mingde Hall, you can go find the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, I'm not afraid of your Sun Moon Imperial Family."
Golden flames flickered in his eyes, reflecting Wang Shaojie's terrified and contorted face, "But before that..."
"Smack!"
A sharp, resounding slap landed. Wang Shaojie's head snapped to one side, and several bloody teeth flew out.
"Go back and have your connections thoroughly investigate the name Huo Yuhao," Huo Yuhao said dismissively, waving his hand. "I don't even give face to the Taotie Douluo of the Sea God Pavilion at the Shrek Academy. What do you think your Sun Moon Empire's royal family is?"
The six Soul King Soul Emperor kneeling on the ground were shocked upon hearing this. The Taotie Douluo —that was a peak level 98 Super Douluo of this era! How dare this young man mention that great figure so casually?
Suddenly, a dazzling golden light erupted from Huo Yuhao's body, and a phantom dragon shadow appeared and disappeared behind him, exuding overwhelming power.
"Trying to pick on an easy target?" He sneered, and with a slight push of his right foot, Wang Shaojie's knee made a teeth-grinding "crack" sound. "You've got the wrong person."
At this moment, Huo Yuhao seemed to have truly transformed into a king who looked down upon the world. In his eyes, the Sun Moon Imperial Family and the million-strong army were nothing but dust that could be destroyed with a flick of the finger. The Golden Dragon King Bloodline was boiling within him, bringing with it an absolute pressure that surpassed all living beings.
"Roll."
A single, simple word, yet it struck like a thunderbolt. Wang Shaojie and the six Soul King and Soul Emperor, as if granted a pardon, scrambled away from the scene, leaving behind only bloodstains and shattered dignity.
This time it was Huo Yuhao's anger, the anger of a monarch. In Huo Yuhao's eyes, even if the Sun Moon Empire had a million-strong army, what did he have to fear?
The news quickly reached the ears of Lin Jiayi, the head of the teaching department. Lin Jiayi smashed the teacup in his hand on the ground with a "crack," and didn't even notice that the scalding tea had splashed all over his trouser leg.
He glared at the student who had come to report the news. The usually composed dean of students was now deathly pale, his lips trembling uncontrollably. "That idiot Wang Shaojie... he actually dared to lead the Royal Guard to arrest Huo Yuhao?!"
The message spread like wildfire, and Lin Jiayi rushed to the Mingde Hall to report to Jing Hongchen.
Mingde Hall, when Jing Hongchen heard the message from Lin Jiayi, the usually composed Mingde Hall smashed his desk.
"Damn it, who gave him the right to do this? Coming to my Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy to bully Shrek's exchange students and even trying to kidnap them! It was Huo Yuhao, that bastard! Everyone knows how important Huo Yuhao is!"
He paced back and forth in the room in anger.
This infuriated him.
Huo Yuhao was a legendary figure in the Soul Fighting Tournament, and he knew that Huo Yuhao was hiding something, but after all, Huo Yuhao was Mu En's disciple, so he didn't dare to provoke him. Huo Yuhao was extremely important. This guy was really a patriarch; he had personally witnessed Mu En's strength.
That old guy, unless it 'Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao or the Supreme Leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, who would dare to challenge him? It would be suicide.
Now that this whole mess has happened, Wang Shaojie is just being ridiculous!
" Wang Shaojie is incredibly audacious; he's a complete scoundrel."
"I'll go see His Majesty myself! I'll go see him..." Jing Hongchen roared as he stormed out of the office. " Shrek must be given an explanation for this!"
Meanwhile, in the laboratory where Huo Yuhao was located...
"Bang!"
The classroom door was flung open. Ju Zi burst in, panting, her pretty face flushed with anger. " Yuhao! I just heard that Wang Shaojie led the Royal Guard to cause you trouble!"
Huo Yuhao remained calm. "Yeah, that idiot's got a death wish, daring to cause me trouble."
Ju Zi's eyes flashed coldly as she gritted her teeth and said, "This was most likely orchestrated by Xu Mochen. Let me help you get revenge; I guarantee they'll never dare to be so insolent again!"
She clenched her fists until her knuckles turned white. "How dare they openly arrest someone in the academy, and my man no less! How dare they!"
Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, a playful smile playing on his lips, "Your... man?"
Ju Zi realized she had let something slip, her pretty face instantly turning bright red, even her ears flushed crimson. She hurriedly turned her face away, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes. "I... I meant... that..."
Seeing her flustered state, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but chuckle. He gently lifted Ju Zi's chin, making her look directly into his eyes. "What? Now you're shy? Weren't you quite bold just now?"
"You... you stop making fun of me!" Ju Zi slapped his hand away in embarrassment and annoyance, but he grabbed her wrist instead.
"I really like this title." Huo Yuhao's voice suddenly softened, his eyes shining with sincerity. "Your man... sounds good."
Ju Zi felt her heart pounding so hard it felt like it was going to burst out of her chest, and even breathing became difficult. She lowered her head, her voice barely a whisper, "Who... who gave you the right to make that decision on your own..."
The sunlight streaming through the window was perfect, bathing the two of them in a warm, golden glow that added to the intimate atmosphere.
Huo Yuhao gently pulled Ju Zi closer and whispered in her ear, "So... should we officially confirm this relationship?"
"Alright, "Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly, returning to the main topic with a calm tone, "I don't really care. After all, even if you don't intervene, Shrek Sea God Pavilion will hold Mingde Hall accountable, and Hall Master Hongchen won't let Wang Shaojie and his cronies get away with it."
Ju Zi stared at him intently, her orange eyes swirling with complex emotions. Suddenly, she reached out and pressed down on Huo Yuhao's hand, the force almost digging into his flesh.
"I know," her voice was soft, yet chilling, "But I can't swallow this."
Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback. He saw that what flickered in Ju Zi's eyes was not only anger, but also a hint of almost obsessive protectiveness.
