As the saying goes, a man should be grateful and repay kindness. Mu Jin is not only Huo Yuhao's homeroom teacher but also recently gifted him a valuable soul bone. This is why Huo Yuhao didn't hesitate to step in and take action.
Justice execution!
What? You say this soul bone originally belonged to Zhou Yi? Well, that's because she lost it to Mu Jin in a bet.
As Huo Yuhao shattered the fireball with a single punch, he swiftly positioned himself in front of Mu Jin, shielding her.
"Teacher Mu, are you okay?"
Before Mu Jin could respond, Zhou Yi's temper flared. "Huo Yuhao, right? Step aside, or I'll deal with you too!"
Huo Yuhao glanced at Zhou Yi and replied coldly, "With your strength, do you really think you're capable of that?"
Mu Jin, calm and composed, tried to dissuade him. "Yuhao, I'm fine. You should step back for now. This is a personal matter between Zhou Yi and me."
Mu Jin knew the situation had escalated, and it wouldn't be long before someone arrived to intervene. Besides, she was in the right in this confrontation. Zhou Yi had been the one to start the fight. If she didn't deal with her now, she might not get another chance in the future.
The students watching from the sidelines widened their eyes in shock as Huo Yuhao suddenly joined the battle between the two Soul Emperors.
Many girls who had a crush on Huo Yuhao exclaimed:
"Oh my god, Yuhao! Get out of there! It's too dangerous!"
"Class monitor, be careful!"
Some of the more rational freshmen commented:
"We can't handle the aftermath of a battle at this level. Even though Huo Yuhao is strong, this is too reckless."
"True. We can only hope the two teachers will be more reasonable."
"Why haven't the college leaders arrived yet? If they don't come soon, someone might die!"
Xiao Xiao, visibly worried, turned to Wang Dong beside her.
"Think of something, Wang Dong! Zhou Yi is a Soul Emperor. Why is Yuhao being so impulsive?"
Wang Dong, the most composed among them, replied, "Ah, this... Yuhao must have his reasons for acting this way."
She had complete faith in Huo Yuhao's strength and judgment.
"It's just a Soul Emperor. Since Yuhao chose to attack, he must have prepared for it. Don't worry, class monitor Xiao Xiao."
Xiao Xiao, reassured by Wang Dong's confidence, set aside her worries and then said irritably, "Don't call me class monitor. It sounds so weird."
"Okay, class monitor Xiao Xiao!"
"Wang Dong—you're so annoying!"
…
Back on the battlefield, Zhou Yi, already furious, grew even more enraged at Huo Yuhao's taunt. Her chest heaved, her face flushed, and her entire body radiated heat.
"With just my strength? It's more than enough to deal with you! Today, I'll teach you what it means to respect your teachers—on behalf of Mu Jin!"
The terrifying fluctuations of soul power erupted as Zhou Yi unleashed the full might of a Soul Emperor, pressing down on Huo Yuhao.
"Zhou Yi, have you lost your mind?!" Mu Jin was both shocked and furious. Was Zhou Yi really crazy enough to attack a student directly? She moved to shield Huo Yuhao, but he stopped her.
Huo Yuhao, unfazed by the pressure, smiled calmly. "Don't worry, Teacher Mu Jin. With my current strength, dealing with Zhou Yi is still easy."
And he wasn't wrong.
Zhou Yi's martial soul was a Red Dragon, with a trace of dragon blood. While the martial soul itself wasn't weak, Zhou Yi's control over it was far from impressive. This was evident from her current soul power level.
Before reaching the Soul Saint level, soul masters didn't possess a Martial Soul True Body, and cross-level challenges were common for true geniuses. Zhou Yi might not even be a match for a low-level Soul King from Shrek Academy's inner courtyard, let alone Huo Yuhao, who possessed an ultimate martial soul.
With his Ultimate Ice, Huo Yuhao had an exceptionally strong soul power foundation, allowing him to cross two or even three levels with ease.
If it were someone like Ma Xiaotao, a top-tier Soul Emperor with a powerful martial soul, multiple fused soul bones, and mastery of various secret techniques, the fight might have been more challenging. Such individuals were considered the pinnacle of Soul Emperors, capable of rivaling Soul Saints who had unlocked their Martial Soul True Body.
But against outer courtyard teachers like Zhou Yi, who had only reached the Soul Emperor level through privilege rather than true strength, Huo Yuhao didn't even need to resort to special tactics to secure victory.
Of course, Huo Yuhao didn't mean to generalize. He respected teachers deeply, but for someone like Zhou Yi, who didn't deserve the title, it was a different story.
"Take this!" Possessed by the Red Dragon's influence, Zhou Yi's already fiery temper burned even hotter. Seeing that her soul power pressure had no effect, she didn't waste words and attacked directly.
In an instant, Zhou Yi appeared in front of Huo Yuhao, her fist blazing with fire. The onlookers didn't even have time to worry for Huo Yuhao.
But Huo Yuhao remained calm. His first yellow soul ring lit up symbolically as purple and gold light flowed across his body. He clenched his fist and met Zhou Yi's punch head-on.
A muffled sound echoed as Zhou Yi was sent flying backward, her beautiful face twisted in fury.
"What a powerful Spirit Eye Martial Soul! But if this is your full strength, you have no right to be so arrogant!" Zhou Yi finally understood how Wang Dong and the others had lost to Huo Yuhao.
It turned out that while Huo Yuhao's raw strength was on par with hers, he relied on his first soul skill to imbue his attacks with a sinister spiritual power.
This cunning trick, combined with the spiritual attributes of his martial soul, allowed him to exploit his spiritual power and soul skills to launch covert attacks. Even Zhou Yi, caught off guard, had her Spiritual Sea assaulted, leaving her momentarily stunned.
Fortunately, as a Soul Emperor, Zhou Yi's spiritual power was robust, and her Spiritual Sea was stable enough to withstand the blow. Otherwise, she might have been knocked out like Huo Yuhao's previous opponents.
"Today, I'll teach you a lesson!" Zhou Yi roared, her first few soul rings flashing one after another. Her eyes turned red, and flames erupted around her body. The scorching air rushed toward Huo Yuhao even before she reached him.
At this moment, amplified by her previous soul skills, Zhou Yi's speed and power were at their peak.
In just a few moments, the two exchanged several blows. Yet, despite Zhou Yi's relentless use of soul skills and her vigilance in protecting her Spiritual Sea, she was still at a disadvantage.
With the aid of his soul detection, Huo Yuhao found an opening, teleported, and landed a punch on Zhou Yi's chest, sending her flying once again.
Shock rippled through the crowd.
Everyone knew Huo Yuhao was the strongest freshman, but no one expected him to be this strong. Was this still a Soul Elder? How could he consistently suppress a Soul Emperor? It was simply unbelievable!
In just a short exchange, it was clear to everyone that Zhou Yi was no match for Huo Yuhao.
Mu Jin, standing to the side, was equally stunned. Surprise flickered in her beautiful eyes.
She knew Zhou Yi's strength better than anyone. Both of them had optimal soul ring configurations, and while Mu Jin's soul power level was slightly higher, she had always been at a disadvantage due to the attribute clash between their martial souls.
Yet here was her student, Huo Yuhao, a mere Soul Elder, defeating Zhou Yi, a Soul Emperor, with ease. He had jumped three levels!
What's more, Mu Jin noticed that Huo Yuhao had only used his first and third soul skills. Zhou Yi, on the other hand, had gone all out, shamelessly unleashing her first four soul skills in rapid succession, yet still couldn't gain the upper hand.
Huo Yuhao seemed to anticipate every move, defending and countering with precision, steadily suppressing Zhou Yi. His final teleportation was a stroke of genius.
'What terrifying battle instincts!'
He truly was her student!
