Wang Dong frowned.
Toward the hot-tempered Wu Feng, whose figure and personality were equally fiery, his impression dropped further.
Sensing the tension, Ning Tian stepped forward and wedged herself between the two.
"Wang Dong was only inviting me to join the Holy Flame Sect, Wu Feng, don't misunderstand."
Wu Feng's anger softened slightly, but her expression was still dark.
Clearly, she was still indignant about Wang Dong's earlier "body double sneak attack."
Just then, Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao rushed over, worried Wang Dong might be ganged up on.
After hearing what happened, Huo Yuhao wasn't too fond of Wu Feng either.
But Ning Tian was from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect — if she could be recruited into the Holy Flame Sect, that would definitely bring in a lot of Fortune Points, right?
"Yuhao, send Wu Feng a mental voice transmission…"
Huo Yuhao's expression turned a little odd as he heard Zhuge Lan's explanation.
Glancing at Wu Feng and Ning Tian, he activated his Spirit Transmission.
— It was one-way only; he no longer needed to open full Spiritual Detection sharing.
[Huo Yuhao: Wu Feng, our Holy Flame Sect values freedom, and we support bravely pursuing true love — including love between the same gender.]
Wu Feng looked around in shock, then met Huo Yuhao's smiling eyes.
Was it you?
[Huo Yuhao: It's me.]
Really?
[Huo Yuhao: Really.]
Without the slightest hesitation, Wu Feng grabbed Ning Tian's arm.
"Ning Tian, this Holy Flame Sect sounds interesting, why don't we give it a try?
That move Wang Dong used just now, that's called Taichi, right?
It's awesome, I want to learn!"
Ning Tian was already tempted, and with her best friend's urging, she finally nodded.
"Alright then. With Nanmen Yuner too, we can give it a try, can't we?"
"Of course." Huo Yuhao affirmed. "Let's meet at noon in front of the freshmen dormitory, I'll teach everyone together then."
The agreement settled, the two teams quickly left the stage to make way for the next match.
This made Wang Yan let out a sigh of relief.
If they still hadn't left, he really wouldn't have been able to hold on…
The next two battles were easily finished.
Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong working together, winning with nothing but Taichi.
Huo Yuhao only activated Spiritual Detection sharing, never even moving his feet.
The others weren't stupid. Three against two, they still had some hope.
But provoking this disciple of Elder Mu? No thanks.
Their team successfully advanced into the top four, ending the morning assessment.
As the students swarmed toward the cafeteria, ninety percent already knew their results. Only the afternoon finals remained.
On their way, the trio was greeted constantly.
"Class monitor, good luck taking the champion title!"
"Wang Dong, you're amazing — how did you get a ten-thousand-year third soul ring?"
"Xiao Xiao's the real strong one, turning a control type into a pure offense type!"
"Wait a second, Huo Yuhao hasn't even fought, right?"
"No way, no way! Some people really think our class monitor is weak?"
"Who knows…"
Huo Yuhao only responded to the friendly voices; as for the doubtful ones, he ignored them.
Only the weak are eager to prove themselves. He didn't need others' recognition.
But…
Someone couldn't hold back!
Buzz!
A powerful aura pressed down, forcing the gossiping students to stumble.
Ma Xiaotao walked over, six soul rings shining brightly, her expression fierce.
"I already said it —Little Yuhao's under my protection. And you still dare to flap your mouths?"
"Next time I hear it, go report straight to the infirmary!"
"Scram!"
Half the crowd vanished instantly.
Ma Xiaotao came to Huo Yuhao's side, muttering,
"You all just take it one sidedly and not retaliating?"
"If not for class monitor holding me down, I would've challenged them already!" Xiao Xiao showed her little fists.
"I've memorized them all. After the assessment, whoever's still around, I'll challenge them one by one," Wang Dong added coldly.
"They're irrelevant. Better to spend that time cultivating." Huo Yuhao smiled. "But still, thanks, Sister Xiaotao — my ears will be quieter for a while."
"Fine." Ma Xiaotao brightened. "I broke through today, I'm happy! Tonight, let's go to the Treasure Appreciation Event. If you see something you like, just take it. I'll swipe Teacher's gold card!"
Uh… if not for that last sentence, it would've sounded pretty rich lady and domineering.
"Sure, let's go." Wang Dong nodded. "My father gave me plenty of gold soul coins this time, I can spend well too."
"Then thanks, Sister Xiaotao." Yuhao agreed.
"Thanks, Senior Sister!" Xiao Xiao said sweetly.
"Good. Perform well this afternoon. I'll watch you take the championship." Ma Xiaotao declared with certainty.
None of the three objected.
The championship? Like picking something out of a bag.
"Since we've finished eating, let's go cultivate. Sister Xiaotao, want to come?" Huo Yuhao asked. "We'll be teaching Taichi to new members at noon."
Ma Xiaotao frowned.
"Forget it. All that 'soft overcoming hard' stuff, what's the point? Nothing beats smashing straight through!"
"I'll go raid Teacher's little treasury, then meet you at the finals."
She stormed off in her usual fiery way.
Huo Yuhao bowed his head in silent mourning for his senior brother.
When they reached the dorm entrance, Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, Ning Tian, Wu Feng, and Nanmen Yuner were already waiting.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Nannan was there too, with Xu Sanshi hovering around her, fawning endlessly.
That made Huo Yuhao frown slightly.
Jiang Nannan's rejection was clear, yet Xu Sanshi either didn't understand, or didn't care.
"Little Yuhao, you're here!" Xu Sanshi grinned. "Nannan said she gained some insights into Taichi, so I came with her to ask for your guidance."
"Sister Nannan's talent in this is indeed remarkable." Huo Yuhao acknowledged. "Since there are so many people today, I'll teach everyone together."
He activated Spiritual Detection sharing, linking everyone in.
For the first time experiencing this godlike vision, Wu Feng and the others were all visibly shocked.
Wu Feng and Nanmen Yuner exchanged glances.
No wonder Wang Dong could pull off that sneak attack so easily — with a divine ability like this backing him up!
Not far away, Mu En watched the growing group thoughtfully.
——
Teaching continued, and in no time, noon passed.
Except for Wu Feng, who was still confused, everyone else gained something from the lesson.
As the finals approached, they all went together.
Those not competing, like Lan Luoluo, naturally came along to cheer.
Because this was the final match, the teams had to draw lots themselves.
Yan Shaozhe gave a brief word of encouragement before starting the process.
"Class One freshmen, Huo Yuhao's team, step forward to draw lots."
Huo Yuhao walked up calmly, smiled at Yan Shaozhe, and drew a lot.
Number 1.
There were two "1"s and two "2"s in the box — meaning they'd fight in the first round.
"Class Five freshmen, Dai Huabin's team, step forward to draw."
Just as Huo Yuhao stepped back, his gaze sharpened like a blade!
He locked eyes on the tall, golden-haired youth, a chilling gleam flashing without concealment.
Dai Huabin!
His childhood nightmare.
As long as Huo Yuhao appeared before him, beatings would rain down without reason.
To protect him, his mother always bore heavy injuries, and yet still struggled to wash clothes just to afford food.
Unless this beast was dead, Huo Yuhao's heart would never rest!!!
Inside his spiritual world,
Sensing Yuhao's turbulent emotions, neither Zhuge Lan nor Tianmeng Iceworm said a word.
Only Electrolux seemed to want to speak, but Zhuge Lan stopped him.
When will revenge ever end?
A true man should take joy in vengeance!
His mother was oppressed to death — and he's still supposed to "repay evil with kindness"?!
