Douluo Continent: The Incarnation of a Divine Beast, Sister Huo Yutong!

Chapter 108 Huo Yuhao: A Miscalculation

Upon spotting the familiar figure, Huo Yuhao pushed open the door and exchanged a few words with the maid.

A moment later, a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes came into the private room where Huo Yuhao and the others were, wiping away his sweat.

Looking at the young man in the main seat, the middle-aged man quickly and respectfully said:
"Young Master Yuhao, please feel free to give your orders..."

Upon hearing the middle-aged man's address, Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao both looked at Huo Yuhao, seemingly marveling at his identity.

Huo Yuhao shifted his gaze from the soul-guided screen, looked at the respectful middle-aged man, and smiled, saying:

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious..."

As he spoke, he pointed to the blue-haired figure on the soul guidance screen:
"Could you arrange a fight between this Thousand-Handed Asura and that Evil-Eyed White Tiger...?"

Upon hearing that Huo Yuhao had only summoned him to arrange a match, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said:
"sure…"

"I'll give the order right now so they can meet again in their next encounter..."

The middle-aged man wisely refrained from inquiring about the two's identities, which suited Huo Yuhao's wishes perfectly.

After the matter was over, Huo Yuhao casually dismissed the middle-aged man, who not only wasn't angry but also showed great respect.

After the middle-aged man left, a brief silence fell over the private room, but soon, Wang Dong'er asked curiously:
"Huo Yuhao, what exactly is your identity...?"

"Was that person from the Soul Arena? Why were they so respectful to you?"

It's worth noting that Shrek City is practically the most prosperous place on the entire continent.

Having a fighting arena here carries immeasurable value.

However, the middle-aged man in the arena was so respectful to Huo Yuhao that Wang Dong'er couldn't help but be curious about Huo Yuhao's identity.

Hearing Wang Dong'er's question, Xiao Xiao also curiously stretched out her ears.

Huo Yuhao tapped Wang Dong'er on the head in an annoyed tone, but still said with a smile:

"This arena is run by the academy, and I know some of the academy's leaders..."

"Did you understand what I meant?"

Wang Dong'er held her head, which was throbbing from the blow, but a look of sudden realization appeared on her face.

So that's how it is...

Looking at the clueless goose who had been so easily fooled by his words, Huo Yuhao's lips twitched, and then he shook his head helplessly.

This IQ...

They're probably being sold out and still helping the seller count the money!

Huo Yuhao turned his gaze back to the Soul Guidance Screen, only to see that Tang San had already won and was preparing to step off the stage.

Just then, several staff members from the Soul Arena appeared beside Tang San.

It's unclear what the other person said to Tang San, but Tang San returned to the Soul Arena and stood proudly upright.

Immediately afterwards, the Soul Arena's broadcast sounded on the Soul Guidance Screen:

"Dear viewers, in order to welcome the annual Shrek Academy freshmen enrollment, the Soul Arena has added a new event!"

The project is named "The Strongest Newcomer!"

"This project is open to all Shrek Academy freshmen and adopts a challenger format, allowing any freshman to step forward and take on the challenge!"

"The final winner will not only receive the title of Rookie King, but also 10,000 Gold Soul Coins sponsored by the Soul Arena!"

As the broadcast echoed throughout the arena, the audience erupted in cheers.

Most viewers were very interested in this new addition.

Although most of the new students at Shrek Academy are Great Soul Masters, with only a few reaching the Dou Zun level, the matches are naturally less entertaining than those between Soul Masters and Soul Kings.

However, many years have passed, and the audience is getting tired of those old-fashioned fighting competitions.

It's nice to change things up once in a while and watch some amateurs fighting each other!

On the other side, listening to the broadcast, Huo Yuhao was both amused and exasperated. His original plan was simply to have Tang San teach Dai Huabin a lesson, but the middle-aged man had pulled this stunt.

Surprisingly, this trick actually works quite well.

Even without the Soul Arena's arrangement, Huo Yuhao saw Dai Huabin appear in the challenger's seat.

Even through the soul guide screen, Huo Yuhao could still see that Dai Huabin was full of confidence and would occasionally glance at a certain place in the audience.

Following his gaze, Huo Yuhao saw a black-haired girl with an amazing figure, wearing a black leather jacket, and his expression immediately became somewhat subtle.

He stroked his chin, then gently placed the little girl on his lap aside, and said with a smile:

"You guys watch the game first, I'm going out for a bit..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong'er assumed Huo Yuhao wanted to participate in the competition and quickly exclaimed:
"Wait a minute, I'll go with you..."

"Let's fight one more time in the ring!"

Seeing Wang Dong'er's somewhat unconvinced face, Huo Yuhao immediately realized she had misunderstood and quickly said:
"I'm not going to participate in a competition, I really have something to do..."

Seeing Huo Yuhao's genuine expression, Wang Dong'er nodded with some disappointment.

Huo Yuhao glanced at Huo Yutong, who then nodded slightly.

Huo Yuhao walked out of the private box and down the steps to the audience seats.

Using his memory, Huo Yuhao quickly found his way to a corner.

Because of its somewhat remote location, there were few spectators, but Huo Yuhao still managed to spot the black-haired girl he had previously observed at a glance.

"Zhu Lu?"

Huo Yuhao spoke softly, then sat down next to her as if they were old friends.

Zhu Lu, who was watching the arena, was startled by the sudden sound. Then, everything went black before her eyes, and a person appeared beside her.

A man!
A look of confusion flashed across Zhu Lu's cool face. She looked Huo Yuhao up and down, then asked with some odd curiosity:

"We...know each other?"

She searched through all her memories, but had no recollection of Huo Yuhao's face.

Logically speaking, given Huo Yuhao's outstanding appearance, she should have remembered him if the two had actually crossed paths.

Huo Yuhao propped himself up with his hands behind his head, reclined in his chair, and said with a smile:

"You don't know me, but I know you..."

I get it, he's just a lecherous guy trying to get close to her because she's pretty.

Zhu Lu was thinking this to herself and was about to tell him to leave when she heard Huo Yuhao continue:

"Not only do I know you, but I also have a grudge against your fiancé..."

"So? Do you really want to stop me?"

In Huo Yuhao's memory, Zhu Lu seemed to be devoted to Dai Huabin, and even after learning that Dai Huabin had fallen in love with Wang Qiu'er, she chose to forgive him.

Knowing that she has a grudge against Dai Huabin, this girl must be very anxious, right?

Unfortunately, Zhu Lu's answer was beyond Huo Yuhao's expectations.

"First of all, I want to remind you that Dai Huabin and I are just friends, and we've only known each other for a short time. Your information is clearly wrong..."

"Secondly, he is him, and I am me. His grudge against you is none of my business..."

"Finally, please leave immediately!"

After speaking, Zhu Lu turned her head away with a haughty air, revealing her fair, slender, and rounded neck.

Huo Yuhao was dumbfounded.

This is different from what he thought!

Shouldn't it be Zhu Lu who, for Dai Huabin's sake, repeatedly accepted her own conditions, ultimately falling into complete depravity and causing Dai Huabin heartbreak?
Is it over before it even begins?
