Douluo Continent: When Huo Yuhao Becomes the Lord of the End

Chapter 54 marks the return of the much-anticipated verbal sparring segment.

With two kings, four twos, and a straight flush, Huo Yuhao had no idea how he could lose!
Meanwhile, on the other side, in Shrek's room.

"Wow, this room is so luxurious, I've never stayed in one before."

"I have to say, as expected of a royal family-owned property, even the bed is so luxurious, and it even has a separate bathroom."

"No, is having a separate bathroom something to brag about?"

Although it wasn't the top floor, Shrek's room was still located on one of the uppermost floors of the Star Emperor Hotel.

Apart from Ning Tian and others who were born into major sects, people like Jiang Nannan all seemed to have never seen much of the world.

To be fair, Shrek recovered remarkably quickly. He had just gone through a ordeal not long ago, and now he's back to normal.

"Hmph, have these guys forgotten our current situation? They're acting like they're on a school trip."

Wang Dong also woke up from her coma at this time, and she felt that she was in better condition than before.

She was initially very resistant to soul tools, but now she suddenly doesn't hate them as much, and she doesn't know why.

It seems like this has been the case ever since that evil spirit master incident; I don't understand.

At this moment, Beibei walked into the room, her expression serious.

"Teacher Wang Yan called us to the conference room. The first match will start after the opening ceremony of the competition tomorrow. The college's reinforcements definitely won't be able to make it. The senior students are still recovering, so we'll have to go first."

Upon hearing this, Ning Tianwang, Dong, and the others all wore solemn expressions. What was bound to happen was bound to happen; there was no way to avoid it.

Shrek Academy's private meeting room.

Wang Yan tried her best to appear relaxed and carefree.

"Alright, alright, let's not be so heavy-hearted. You all know that we are Shrek Academy, and you are all the absolute elites of the academy."

"Tomorrow is just the first match after the opening ceremony, so relax, stay relaxed, okay?"

He then comforted them, saying, "You should know that the other colleges don't know about our situation right now. Your opponents were also weaker than you imagined at the beginning. You should be the ones who are nervous."

"It's nothing serious. We just need to stay in good form, and that will be enough for tomorrow's match."

Then he explained the competition rules to everyone: the first stage was the elimination round, a seven-on-seven team battle; the second stage was the round-robin tournament; and there was also a random single-elimination tournament, a three-on-two cooperative battle, and a seven-on-seven team battle.

That's what they said, but the real pressure hadn't disappeared; all six reserve team members looked heavy-hearted.

However, after Wang Yan finished speaking, he pretended to be relaxed and went out first. No matter what, they had come this far, and they had to give it a try. Perhaps the competition was not as cruel as they imagined.

After everyone left, Wang Yan finally lost his composure, and cold sweat involuntarily broke out on his face.

Beibei, Ma Xiaotao, and the others were still in the room.

"Teacher Wang, does this really boost their morale and reduce their pressure? I feel like the younger students are under even more pressure."

Wang Yan did not answer, but instead asked a question.

"How long will it take for your injuries to heal?"

Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen looked at each other and confirmed it before revealing a timeframe that would leave Wang Yan in despair.

"If Elder Xuan can arrive in time with the academy's healing-type Soul Masters, he might be able to recover before the fourth round of the knockout stage."

Ling Luochen was fine. "I'm ready to go into battle at any time!"

It's all over, Wang Yan felt like it was really all over.

In the fourth round, these little guys have won four games in a row. It's obviously very difficult to do that. Is there really no hope left?

No, if Ling Luochen were forced to play in a crucial match before the major competition, it wouldn't be impossible for him to persevere.

However, if the academy's healing-type Soul Masters actually arrive, Shrek Academy will have no chance to win the final championship.

It's such a difficult choice. Why, why did this happen to the class he's leading? He can even foresee what awaits him at the academy if he loses Shrek Academy's eternal honor.

Moreover, it was a complete and utter defeat that didn't even make it past the knockout stage.

"No matter what, you still need to recover quickly. Even if things have come to this, we must fight on."

At worst, I'll just have to give up my position as a teacher and be expelled from Shrek Academy.

But as long as he was still the teacher in charge, he had to shoulder the responsibilities of a teacher. Outside, when Bei Bei and Ma Xiaotao came out, an extreme sense of tension washed over them. Dai Huabin had been waiting outside, wanting to ask something, but he didn't speak for the time being.

Even when they were cultivating, they couldn't concentrate, so they all wanted to go to the top floor for some fresh air. But before they could even get in, they were stopped by the people from the Star Emperor Hotel.

"Excuse me, the residence of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is at the top. Please stop here."

what!
The people of the Sun Moon Empire actually live at a higher altitude than Shrek Academy. How exactly did the Star Luo Royal Family arrange this?

Ma Xiaotao has a fiery temper and was already in a bad mood, so she just barged in.

"Hmph, so what if they're from the Sun and Moon Sect? This hotel isn't owned by them. Do you think they can stop us from walking?"

"I'm going to go up there today, and see who dares to stop me."

Being afraid to cause trouble is a sign of mediocrity. If she were to leave in a sorry state after being stopped, Ma Xiaotao felt she would never be able to stand such humiliation.

This is incredibly stupid, beyond just ordinary stupidity.

Despite being seriously injured, someone who would normally avoid him at all costs would now be deliberately trying to intrude on his territory. Is he afraid that his opponent won't be able to see through his true nature?

Who's making that noise outside?

At this moment, Huo Yuhao had already discussed things with his teacher and had just met with Xiao Hongchen and the others when he happened to witness this incongruous scene.

"Hmph, you must be from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. How domineering! Why won't you let us go to the top floor?"

What?

Huo Yuhao felt as if his ears were dirty. What had he just heard?
"Are you from Shrek Academy?"

He naturally recognized Beibei and Ma Xiaotao at a glance, but there were some things he should pretend not to know.

He was a bit confused. Dude, Shrek Academy really has guts! They dared to send someone like Ma Xiaotao to participate in the competition.

She suppressed her evil fire; she couldn't bring any unstable elements with her, could she?

Bei Bei frowned as he looked at Huo Yuhao's face, then his eyes suddenly lit up.

"You? You're Huo Yuhao?"

Without waiting for Ma Xiaotao and the others' surprised expressions, he went straight to Huo Yuhao's side and said excitedly.

"Do you remember me? I saw you in the Star Dou Great Forest!"

Huo Yuhao pulled the hand off his shoulder, smiled faintly, and replied.

"I remember, but now doesn't seem like the time to say such things."

Xiao Hongchen, who was originally about to mock him face-to-face, temporarily suppressed his defiant and arrogant demeanor upon seeing the situation.

"Yuhao, do you know them?"

"To be precise, we met once, but we can't really be considered acquaintances."

Ma Xiaotao and the others were also puzzled and looked at Bei Bei. After some explanation, they realized that Huo Yuhao was not a Sun Moon person, but a Star Luo Empire person.

"Yuhao, what are you doing at Sun Moon Island? Could it be that you're...?"

Shrugging, Huo Yuhao spoke frankly.

"That's right, I'm now a member of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team."

Dai Huabin, who had been waiting outside the door and was now standing with Ma Xiaotao and the others, couldn't help but sneer at them.

"Hmph, as citizens of Star Luo, they now serve the Sun Moon Empire. How laughable!"

Oh?
Is it time for the much-anticipated verbal sparring session again?

Well, Old Huo has never been afraid of anyone in this regard.

Besides, this person in front of him doesn't recognize him, but he knows this person very well. Dai Huabin, he'll never forget him even if he's turned to ashes.

"Then you must be a native of the Star Luo Empire. It's a pleasure to meet you. May I ask your name and whether you are currently serving the Star Luo team?"
