Dai Yaoheng struggled, trying to speak.
But under the overwhelming aura of several Title Douluo, even breathing was a luxury, let alone talking.
He could only convey with his eyes—he had something to say!
"I want to hear how you plan to justify yourself," Cai Mei'er spoke coldly.
Only then did the others ease up slightly.
"It was my younger brother, Dai Huabin!" Dai Yaoheng said urgently.
"Those death warriors could also be controlled by Dai Huabin! And during today's freshman assessment, he was humiliated multiple times by Huo Yuhao, he had much more motive for revenge!"
He finished in one breath, gasping heavily before continuing:
"Not long ago, all the deans and elders had just stood up for Huo Yuhao. Ma Xiaotao is stronger than me. Even if I were stupid, I wouldn't have arranged an assassination here, right?
I only wanted to speak with Huo Yuhao again. When I sensed the disturbance, I came over to help.
This is truly a misunderstanding!
After all, blood is thicker than water—we wouldn't go that far…"
"Shut up!" Huo Yuhao roared furiously. "When you and your mother persecuted me and my mom, did you think about 'blood is thicker than water'? Now you suddenly remember? You all deserve to die!!!"
Dai Yaoheng bit his lips bitterly.
Who would have thought that the weed he once ignored would one day grow into a towering tree he had to look up to?
It seemed staying at Shrek was no longer possible.
He made a decisive choice:
"I am willing to accept Elder Lin's Soul Search!
Once proven innocent, I'll return with you to confront Dai Huabin!
After this matter is settled, I'll apply for graduation, and from then on we'll go our separate ways."
Quite a decisive fellow.
Cai Mei'er and the others looked at Huo Yuhao. What did the real victim want?
Murderous intent flickered in Huo Yuhao's eyes.
"Don't show mercy, kill them all," Zhuge Lan said coldly. "Even if Dai Yaoheng didn't personally act, he definitely knew about it. By staying silent, he has to bear the consequences."
Those words were steeped in killing intent.
He was annoyed that in the original story, Huo Yuhao reconciled with Dai Yaoheng, even recognizing the Dai family and changing his surname!
What kind of brain-dead writing was that?
Sensing Zhuge Lan's emotions, Electrolux chose silence.
The Skydream Iceworm was much simpler: "Kill! Kill! Kill them all!
That Dai Huabin is an idiot. If you let the tiger return to the mountain, he might target your friends later!
And Dai Yaoheng is no good either, he ignored you before, and now that you're successful he comes crawling, a hypocritical opportunist!
If you ever fall, he'll be the first to kick you when you're down!"
Huo Yuhao's gaze flickered.
"Brother Lan, Brother Tianmeng, Elder Electrolux. I want to take revenge with my own hands!
To crush them openly and let the world see how laughable so-called bloodlines are!"
Tianmeng pouted—he didn't understand, but he respected it.
Electrolux smiled and nodded—this determination was the heart of a true powerhouse.
After some thought, Zhuge Lan gave another option.
Huo Yuhao nodded without hesitation.
In reality, he spoke firmly:
"No need for a Soul Search.
When I return with my new soul ring, Dai Yaoheng, you'll fight me.
If you lose—you die, and it ends here.
If you win—this matter is wiped clean. You return to your Duke's Mansion, I remain at Shrek.
If we meet again in the future, we'll rely on our own strength."
Did Dai Yaoheng need to think twice?
"No problem!"
He was a six-ring Soul Emperor of Shrek.
Aside from freaks like Ma Xiaotao, those of his rank could easily crush peers.
Would he fear a mere two-ring?
Even with Huo Yuhao's earlier cross-level victory, it was still nothing in Dai Yaoheng's eyes!
"Then it's decided," Cai Mei'er declared. "But Dai Huabin must face the Academy's investigation. He's not part of this wager."
Both Huo Yuhao and Dai Yaoheng nodded.
For Huo Yuhao, Dai Huabin was a piece of trash he had crushed repeatedly. There wasn't much obsession left.
For Dai Yaoheng, he was simply cold-blooded, eager to cut ties and avoid dragging down the Duke's Mansion.
The wager was thus set.
Dai Yaoheng personally escorted the remaining three assassins away, with Cai Mei'er watching closely.
The other Title Douluo all focused on Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.
Xian Lin'er asked:
"Yuhao, how did you two, under siege by one six-ring Soul Emperor and five five-ring Soul Kings, manage to counter-kill three of them?"
Huo Yuhao didn't hide much.
He raised his hand, spiritual power flowing, summoning back seven Frost Demon Blades and lining them neatly before him.
Qian Duoduo glanced at them, quickly identifying:
"Level 5 close-combat soul tools—Frost Demon Blades. Based on Fan Yu's blueprints, but not crafted by him.
Originally, their amplification was about equal to a Level 47 Soul Ancestor.
One is severely damaged, core array destroyed—only the rare metals can be salvaged.
Three are slightly damaged—after repair, their power drops to about Level 40.
Three are almost intact—still usable.
Yuhao, don't tell me you broke the siege with these?"
Huo Yuhao only smiled silently.
His spiritual power surged, driving the seven blades into rapid rotation around him, interweaving in a spiral.
The mere aftershocks of their flight generated a small-scale tornado, accompanied by icy chill.
Everyone present was a Title Douluo—they could immediately see the terrifying control.
Flexible maneuvering, multi-line strangulation, pure offense without defense, and raw power reaching the level of a three-ring Soul Elder, nearly a four-ring Soul Ancestor!
And yet, there was no soul power fluctuation at all?
They could hardly imagine, if they were fighting someone of the same rank, and their opponent suddenly pulled this trick, how miserable would they be?
Huo Yuhao added calmly:
"With some self-created soul skills and martial soul fusion techniques, we caught them off guard and forced them to abandon defense, which allowed us to kill three."
"Excellent!" Qian Duoduo exclaimed.
"Yuhao, hurry and get your soul ring, then report to the Soul Tool Department. Because of you, my Ultimate Soldier Project must be restructured!"
"That's right!" Xian Lin'er's eyes also burned with excitement. "You were born for this project! You will become the ace of my Soul Tool Department!"
Huo Yuhao scratched his head, confused by the couple's enthusiasm.
"Chirp!"
A phoenix cry rang out.
Ma Xiaotao shot down like a meteor.
Seeing this, Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo urged Yuhao once more to come quickly, then left.
Ma Xiaotao landed immediately, eyes scanning Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong nervously.
Only when she saw they were unharmed did she finally breathe in relief.
Then she rolled up her sleeves, searching the area fiercely.
"Who's the bastard with the guts to attack people of mine?
Was it that coward Dai Yaoheng?
Where is he? Come out and die!"
Huo Yuhao soothed her briefly, explaining the general situation.
"So it really was the Dai family's idiots?" Ma Xiaotao's eyes widened. "You should've killed that brat on the Soul Dueling Stage this afternoon! Would the old man really expel you over that?"
"Since I already have the strength to avenge myself, I don't want to cause more trouble for Teacher and Senior Brother," Huo Yuhao said sensibly.
Ma Xiaotao looked baffled.
"Cleaning up after disciples—isn't that what a dean is supposed to do?"
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong both fell silent.
Senior Brother had worked hard for many years indeed…
