At this moment, Huo Yuhao felt somewhat puzzled. Why had Princess Jiujiu's favorability toward him suddenly increased?
On Princess Jiujiu's side, however, she had long since held Huo Yuhao in high regard.
On Shrek Academy's team, the lineup was basically all female members. Huo Yuhao had hardly ever let them take the field. Even when they did appear, it was usually with him fighting alone.
Such a man, full of charm—how could she not be moved?
A princess who had long lived in a high position also yearned for a knight who could protect her and shield her behind his back.
And Huo Yuhao was precisely the man she admired.
The competition uniforms of the Star Luo National Academy were light-yellow fitted outfits.
Today, Princess Jiujiu was completely different from the elegant and noble figure she had shown at the auction that day. Wearing the fitted combat attire, her temperament changed entirely.
She looked heroic and spirited.
Her long golden hair was neatly tied into a ponytail, a faint smile on her pretty face. The well-tailored yellow outfit perfectly outlined her delicate figure.
Huo Yuhao and Jiujiu's gazes met. An unusual atmosphere spread through the air, and Princess Jiujiu was the first to speak.
"Huo Yuhao, I know you. You're hailed as Shrek's most dazzling genius!"
"How about this—shall we make a bet?"
Hearing Princess Jiujiu's words, Huo Yuhao's curiosity was immediately piqued.
"What kind of bet?"
"In this tournament, if Shrek Academy encounters my team, you must continue to fight alone!"
"If you lose, you must join our Star Luo royal family!"
"How about it?"
As soon as Princess Jiujiu said this, the entire venue was shaken.
"My god! This is the first time Her Highness has tried to recruit someone!"
"To fall beneath Princess Jiujiu's pomegranate skirt—I'd die happy!"
"Damn it, if only I were Huo Yuhao! Why hasn't this guy agreed yet? What is he hesitating for?!"
…
The surrounding crowd was in shock. Even Ma Rulong, standing nearby, glanced at the princess in astonishment.
The captain of the Di'ao Academy was completely stunned, staring at Princess Jiujiu for a long time before finally averting his gaze.
Huo Yuhao could even see deep envy in his eyes!
Damn it!
Looking at the princess on the stage, Wang Yan couldn't help but frown deeply. Before today, Princess Jiujiu had never appeared among the Star Luo National Academy's lineup.
Now that she had appeared, Wang Yan was greatly shaken. She was openly poaching students from his academy right in front of him, the team's instructor?
What did this mean?!
Just as Wang Yan was about to speak, Wang Dong's voice rang out from below the stage first.
"Huo Yuhao! You're not allowed to agree to her!!!"
…
Hearing everyone's reactions, Princess Jiujiu was not anxious at all, because she knew the decision lay with Huo Yuhao.
"So, Huo Yuhao—have you thought it through?"
After pondering for a moment, Huo Yuhao asked instead,
"Since if I lose, I have to join the Star Luo Empire, then may I ask—what if Princess Jiujiu loses?"
Princess Jiujiu smiled calmly. "If I lose, I'll join Shrek and become your classmate."
The moment these words were spoken, the citizens of the Star Luo Empire erupted.
"No! I don't agree!"
"I've already lost my goddess—must I also lose the princess?!"
"I've clenched my molars to pieces! Why—why is this happening?!"
…
The noise and opposition of the crowd did not affect Princess Jiujiu at all. Even the Star Luo Emperor did not step forward to oppose it.
In his view, if they could truly establish a connection with a genius like Huo Yuhao, why would the Star Luo Empire need to fear the Sun Moon Empire?
As emperor, he had many difficulties as well.
The Sun Moon Empire's soul tool technology was developing faster and faster. The Star Luo Empire needed a powerful ally. As emperor, he had to take responsibility for his people.
Faced with Princess Jiujiu's answer, Huo Yuhao agreed immediately.
Because he would not lose—no matter how it was calculated, he wouldn't suffer a loss.
After the four captains had established their bet, under the gaze of four Titled Douluo, they came before the Star Luo Emperor.
The emperor smiled slightly and said, "I am very pleased to meet such outstanding young talents as you."
"The competition is about to begin. I hope you will uphold the principle of friendship first, competition second, and complete this tournament."
"Later, I will throw out four balls marked with lot numbers. You will all grab them at the same time. Are you ready?"
Princess Jiujiu smiled gently, looked at Huo Yuhao, and nodded.
Ma Rulong and the captain of Di'ao Academy also nodded in response.
"Pay attention!"
The Star Luo Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly. Immediately afterward, four clusters of golden light rose into the air at the same time.
Ma Rulong and the captain of Di'ao Academy each leapt into the air and seized a small ball.
Princess Jiujiu and Huo Yuhao, however, did not move, waiting for the balls to fall.
It was as if everything was being left to fate to decide.
Huo Yuhao also narrowed his eyes slightly at this moment. He wanted to see whether, after becoming captain and even not competing for the draw, fate would change.
A faint smile appeared on Princess Jiujiu's pretty face as she glanced at the ball in her hand.
"I'm number one."
Ma Rulong said in a deep voice, "Number two."
Huo Yuhao's gaze fell straight onto Princess Jiujiu's delicate face.
"Number one."
Fate had not changed.
It seemed that even now, he still did not possess the power to contend against fate.
Because his early fate had all been arranged and assisted by Douluo Star. Yet when he was about to become the Child of Destiny later on, it was snatched away by Tang San.
In the end, he was reduced to a dog of the Tang Clan.
It could be said that Tang San was nothing but a thief—stealing everything from Douluo Star!
Betraying the very place that had given him a second life!
And the extradimensional demon Tang San—how could such a being ever be tamed?
And he himself had to stop all of this from happening again!
…
As both were number one, Shrek Academy would face Star Luo National Academy today, while the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy would naturally face Di'ao Academy.
After personally checking the drawn lots, the Star Luo Emperor announced the results to the public.
When the citizens of the Star Luo Empire heard that their team would be facing Shrek Academy, waves of exclamations rang out from the crowd.
"Damn it, how did it really end up being Shrek?! What do we do?! Are we really going to lose the princess?!"
"Stop yelling—can't you think positively? Who said our princess will lose? Don't forget, Her Highness's martial soul is the Star Crown!"
"That's right! If you ask me, the ones who should be suffering are Shrek Academy. Their strongest genius is about to become one of us in the Star Luo Empire! Hahahaha!"
…
Huo Yuhao returned to the rest area. Wang Yan was the first to approach him and asked in a low voice,
"So, Huo Yuhao—do you have confidence in defeating Princess Jiujiu?"
Huo Yuhao widened his eyes, unable to believe his ears.
"Well, well—so this is the kind of teacher you are, Teacher Wang!"
"Perverted as hell!"
