Who dares to launch an attack here again!
A majestic voice suddenly rang out from the sky, and a figure appeared in the sky without anyone noticing.
Xiao Hongchen looked up and immediately sensed the aura of the middle-aged man; he was definitely Titled Douluo.
Xiao Hongchen scoffed, sheathed the metal object behind him, and readily admitted, "It is indeed I. May I ask what guidance you may offer, senior?"
"What advice do you have? Hmph! Don't you know that private fights are prohibited during the competition!" Cheng Gang glared at him and reprimanded him sternly.
A terrifying pressure instantly crushed down on Xiao Hongchen. Cheng Gang was holding nothing back, intending to suppress him on the spot immediately.
bite!
A crisp sound rang out, Xiao Hongchen's protective Soul Tool on his chest was instantly activated, forming a transparent red barrier that protected him in an instant.
Xiao Hongchen looked at him disdainfully, his eyes full of mockery, and even gave him the middle finger without any politeness, saying, "Old man, so what if I did it?"
Cheng Gang narrowed his old eyes, staring at the Soul Tool barrier on Xiao Hongchen's surface, and hesitated for a moment.
He could tell at a glance that this Soul Tool was definitely a Level 9 Soul Tool, and even if he attacked with all his might, he probably wouldn't be able to break it in a short time.
If such Soul Tool is damaged, its manufacturer will know immediately.
This young man, who possesses Level 9 Soul Tool, must hold an extremely high position within the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy; otherwise, he wouldn't have such Soul Tool.
Cheng Gang pondered to himself that if he were to take action, he might very well become an enemy of a Level 9 Soul Engineer, especially since he was currently representing the Star Luo Empire.
If we act rashly, it could very well escalate into a conflict between the two countries.
This is why, even as the Guardian Douluo, he did not directly attack when provoked by Xiao Hongchen.
Swish, swish, swish!
A series of crisp, metallic scraping sounds rang out as dozens of soldiers rushed out from the surrounding area, directly encircling Xiao Hongchen.
Cheng Gang slowly landed on the ground, looked at the hotel entrance filled with black smoke, frowned, and waved his hand.
A fierce gust of wind instantly dispersed the black smoke, and a barrier of interwoven ice blue and fiery red flashed past within it, from which Huo Yuhao slowly emerged.
Meng Hongchen, who was staring intently at the black smoke, looked incredulously at Huo Yuhao who had walked out. The fleeting blue and red light kept appearing in her mind.
"Is... is it really him?!"
Meng Hongchen was all too familiar with that color; the fleeting light was exactly the same as her ' Hongchen '.
After putting something away from his body, Huo Yuhao straightened his slightly wrinkled sleeves and was unharmed.
This made Meng Hongchen even more certain, because when she designed ' Hongchen ', she added a defensive mechanism to it, which was more than enough to withstand Xiao Hongchen's attack.
However, she was still unsure if Huo Yuhao was really him, and she planned to look for clues carefully in the days to come.
Xiao Hongchen's eyes widened in disbelief. "How is this possible? How could you be completely unharmed!"
Cheng Gang looked at Xiao Hongchen, who seemed somewhat agitated. An invisible wave of energy instantly swept out, and he said, "Calm down! I'll say it again, private fights are prohibited during the competition!"
Otherwise, your college's competition results will be cancelled!
"You!"
Xiao Hongchen gritted his teeth, clenched his right fist, and slammed it hard against the pillar at the hotel entrance, producing a dull thud. The force of the blow caused fine cracks to appear in the sturdy pillar.
"Brother... you've misunderstood."
Meng Hongchen tugged at his sleeve, her tone laced with reproach and her eyes filled with worry as she stopped him.
Xiao Hongchen looked at Meng Hongchen with a dark expression, somewhat confused, "What do you mean by misunderstanding?"
Only then did Meng Hongchen have a chance to explain to him.
Cheng Gang glanced at Huo Yuhao, and after confirming that he was alright, he also noticed his school uniform.
He was helpless; the Shrek and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer were indeed at odds, even managing to fight at the hotel entrance.
Cheng Gang asked Huo Yuhao with concern, "Are you alright?"
Huo Yuhao was naturally unharmed. The moment Xiao Hongchen prepared his attack, he immediately took out ' Hongchen ' and activated its defensive mechanism.
He had only recently discovered this, and he immediately took the opportunity to test its defenses.
In retrospect, the results are indeed quite good.
Huo Yuhao cupped his hands in thanks and said respectfully, "Thank you, senior. I'm fine."
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Cheng Gang waved to the taxi driver behind him and said, "In that case, please remember that you cannot take any action during the competition, otherwise you will be immediately disqualified. This is a one-time exception."
The soldier immediately turned and left, and Cheng Gang also turned to leave.
When I passed through the Xiao Hongchen.
Cheng Gang stopped and said in a deep voice, "Remember this, especially you. Someone will be coming to you later to demand compensation."
Xiao Hongchen gritted her teeth, watching Cheng Gang leave, and still said defiantly, "I don't need your reminder."
Meng Hongchen walked over to Huo Yuhao, carefully checked him over, then bowed deeply to him, her face full of apology, and said, "I'm so sorry! It's all my fault for not stopping my brother. Are you alright?"
She reached into her Storage Soul Tool and took out a bottle of pills, presenting it to Huo Yuhao with both hands. "These are for healing; you must accept them."
Looking into her sincere and apologetic eyes, Huo Yuhao finally nodded and reluctantly accepted the medicine bottle.
Seeing his younger sister's submissive appearance, Xiao Hongchen became even angrier. He grabbed Meng Hongchen's wrist and said, "Sister, why are you paying attention to him? Even if it's a misunderstanding, Shrek has its own elixirs."
Meng Hongchen shouted at her unreasonable brother, "Brother, how could you do this!"
"Come with me!"
Xiao Hongchen ignored her and forcefully pulled her towards the hotel.
"Brother, you're hurting me!"
Meng Hongchen struggled to pull her hand away, but Xiao Hongchen didn't give her a chance at all, and even forcefully pulled her forward.
Having exhausted all other options, Meng Hongchen immediately called out to Huo Yuhao, "What's your name? You haven't told me yet! Wait for me here tomorrow morning!"
Upon hearing Meng Hongchen's words, Xiao Hongchen tightened his grip and pulled her forward with long strides.
Just then, Xiao Xiao arrived downstairs and brushed past Meng Hongchen.
Out of the corner of her eye, Xiao Xiao immediately recognized Meng Hongchen's face.
Xiao Xiao exclaimed in disbelief, "It's her..."
Because of being driven off the steps at the Dou Ling Festival, Xiao Xiao had a very deep understanding of Meng Hongchen, and she was certain that she hadn't misjudged him.
At this moment, she felt even more puzzled; how could this person be related to Yuhao?
When she came to her senses, she realized that Huo Yuhao was standing at the door, looking at her with gentle eyes.
Huo Yuhao asked softly, "Are you going out?"
Xiao Xiao, who was about to open her mouth, closed it again. "No... it's..."
"Um?"
Seeing that Huo Yuhao was alright, his actions immediately flooded Xiao Xiao's mind.
Even though she really wanted to talk to Huo Yuhao, she hardened her heart and said coldly.
"It's none of your business!"
As she spoke, Xiao Xiao turned around and headed towards the stairs. Just as she stepped onto the stairs, the scene of Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen embracing flashed through her mind again.
Furious, she immediately turned around and angrily said to Huo Yuhao, "Next time you're being intimate with that girl from the Dou Ling Festival, please don't do it in front of the hotel!"
"Besides, you have a fiancée, what kind of behavior is this, flirting with other women!"
The moment she said it, Xiao Xiao regretted it; the inner torment made her eyes blurry with tears.
The fact that Huo Yuhao has a fiancée is always a thorn in her side, and she doesn't want Huo Yuhao to see her like this.
She immediately turned around and disappeared up the stairs, her eyes glistening with tears.
Huo Yuhao watched Xiao Xiao leave, sighed softly, and his memories were awakened as a result.
He looked in the direction Meng Hongchen had left, took out the ' Hongchen ' from his storage ring, and said, "So it was you."
