Dai Huabin

After class, Tang Wulin got ready to stand up and find Huo Yutong.

To his surprise, before he could even make a move, a whole crowd of female classmates surrounded him.

"Tang Wulin, why were you able to enroll at nine?"

"How do you take care of your skin? It looks so smooth."

"Tang Wulin, let's date!"

All sorts of words came flying at Tang Wulin. Some asked questions, some tried to get close to him, and some pulled all kinds of stunts, leaving him overwhelmed.

More importantly, while he was being surrounded, Huo Yutong had already left the classroom. If he did not catch up now, it would be too late.

Tang Wulin hurriedly pushed through the crowd around him, apologizing as he did so.

"Sorry, sorry, I have something urgent to do. Let's talk next time."

Unfortunately, by the time he ran out of the classroom, he had lost sight of Huo Yutong.

Looks like I can only ask next time...

Tang Wulin sighed and prepared to return to the classroom to pack up and leave.

Just then, he turned around and saw Dai Huabin some distance away, talking to the young girl beside him.

"..."

An idea suddenly flashed through Tang Wulin's mind.

Although he could not find Huo Yutong for the moment, he could ask the other person involved, couldn't he?

Of course, considering Dai Huabin's relationship with Huo Yutong, he might not tell the truth.

This guy was most likely the Scumbag Huo Yutong had mentioned. People like him were best at lying, so Tang Wulin had to make sure he could distinguish the lies in his words.

Having made up his mind, Tang Wulin walked over to Dai Huabin.

Seeing Tang Wulin approach, Dai Huabin looked extremely impatient.

"What is it? Do you need something?"

"Yeah." Tang Wulin took a deep breath and asked, "May I ask what relationship you have with Huo Yutong?"

"Huh?"

Dai Huabin's brain stalled for two seconds.

He searched his memories for the name Huo Yutong, but after a long while, found nothing.

He shook his head.

"I don't remember. Describe her."

"Mm, petite, frugal, from a poor family, with a pair of very beautiful eyes..."

After thinking for a moment, Tang Wulin described the image of Huo Yutong in his mind.

Come to think of it, she really was an outstanding person.

What he had not expected was for Dai Huabin to sneer after hearing him out.

"I see. From your description, she's a lowborn commoner. Then you've got the wrong person. I have no interest in lowborn commoners, and I couldn't possibly know any."

With that, he looked at the young girl beside him.

"Let's go, Zhu Lu. We're going to lunch. Seriously, what a waste of time."

However, just as he was about to leave, his hand was grabbed.

When he turned around, he saw blazing fury burning in Tang Wulin's eyes.

"Take that back."

"What?"

"I said, take back what you just said!"

Tang Wulin said furiously.

He had originally been prepared to sift through Dai Huabin's words for information, but there was no need at all. Dai Huabin had first claimed to have no impression of Huo Yutong whatsoever, then expressed extreme contempt for her after hearing Tang Wulin's description.

Tang Wulin did not know what kind of relationship Huo Yutong had with Dai Huabin, but someone as hardworking and earnest as her, someone who treated others so gently, should not be looked down on like that.

Dai Huabin's gaze turned cold.

"Are you sick in the head? Why should I take it back just because you told me to? Was I wrong? By your description, she's poor and lives frugally. Isn't that a lowborn commoner?"

He had only kindly answered this brat's questions because Wang Yan had told the students to look after Tang Wulin. He had not expected the brat to push his luck.

"Of course not!" Tang Wulin said firmly. "A person can't decide what family they're born into. Why should you call someone a lowborn commoner just because their family is poor?"

He had come from the Sun Moon Federation ten thousand years in the future, so naturally he could not understand the feudal aristocratic mindset from ten thousand years ago.

Likewise, Dai Huabin could not understand Tang Wulin either. He only felt that this little brat must have something wrong with his head.

"Boring."

Dai Huabin did not want to listen to Tang Wulin's nonsense any longer. He snorted and violently shook his arm, intending to throw Tang Wulin off.

However, to his surprise, Tang Wulin's hand was like cast iron. He could not shake it off at all.

Dai Huabin's eyes widened in astonishment.

He had put plenty of force into that just now. Even an ordinary Soul Grandmaster would have been obediently thrown aside, while a Soul Master like Tang Wulin should at least have been sent stumbling.

So that was it. No wonder he could enroll at nine. It seemed he had some special ability after all.

"Interesting."

The corners of Dai Huabin's mouth rose. A dangerous red glow lit up in his eyes as he threw a punch at Tang Wulin's face.

"!"

Tang Wulin had not expected Dai Huabin to attack so suddenly. Caught off guard, he could only let go and dodge.

He had barely avoided the straight punch when a sweeping kick came at him.

Tang Wulin could only block with his arms. With a bang, both of their bodies jolted at the same time. Neither had gained the upper hand.

A flash of shock crossed Dai Huabin's eyes.

It was common knowledge that the legs had more strength than the arms.

Yet with him using his leg and Tang Wulin using his arm, their clash of strength had actually ended evenly?

What kind of joke was this? Some stinking brat from who knew where dared to be this arrogant!

Dai Huabin was enraged. He unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks, launching an unending assault on Tang Wulin.

Being pressed so relentlessly, Tang Wulin's temper flared as well. He stepped with the still-unfamiliar Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, dodging every one of Dai Huabin's attacks. Then, seizing an opening, he punched Dai Huabin in the chest.

"Ugh!"

Although Dai Huabin raised an arm in time to block Tang Wulin's attack, the blow still hurt enough to force him back two steps.

The previously noisy classroom instantly fell silent.

Every student stared wide-eyed at the two who had just completed an exchange, their expressions blank.

Although neither Tang Wulin nor Dai Huabin had used their Martial Souls, their clash was still fierce enough to make many lower-level students break out in cold sweat.

Dai Huabin was one thing. Many people in the class knew him. He was the Heaven's Chosen of Duke White Tiger's family, so it was normal for him to be powerful.

But what was going on with Tang Wulin? An obscure little child was actually fighting Dai Huabin hand-to-hand without using his Martial Soul, and he even seemed to have the upper hand.

According to what Wang Yan had just said, Tang Wulin's Soul Power Level was near the bottom of the class. Yet someone like that could trade blows with Dai Huabin so evenly. It completely overturned the students' understanding.

Feeling the astonished gazes of the students around him, Dai Huabin's eyes turned blood-red.

Ever since he was young, he had received nothing but praise. When had he ever suffered such humiliation?

In his eyes, Tang Wulin's actions were simply outrageous.

"Good. Tang Wulin, is it? Very good!"

Dai Huabin let out a chilling sneer. White fur sprouted all over his body, and three soul rings appeared around him as his aura surged.

"Let me teach you a proper lesson!"

Watching Dai Huabin pounce at him steadily, Tang Wulin did not panic.

A faint golden current of air began to emerge around his hands.
