Douluo Continent: Starting by controlling the Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Cult

Chapter 68 History Repeats Itself

The Dead Fire Sea team: Huo Yuhao, Xie Huanyue, Cui Yajie. Against the earth-shattering team: Cheng Zhangan, Gu Xiaoli, Pei Xiaoqi.

At the same time, Mu Jin also received the battle list. Unlike Huo Yuhao's team's absolute strength, Cheng Chang'an's earth-shattering team had shown off their teamwork in previous matches. As the class monitor of Class 9, Cheng Chang'an had also broken through to the three-ring Soul Master realm during his three months of training. In terms of overall strength, he was in no way inferior to Wang Dong's team with three twin martial souls.

Mu Jin also had high hopes for this team, but she never expected that the two top teams in her class would be pitted against each other first.

Huo Yuhao, who has always been low-key, had not competed with Cheng An for the position of class monitor. This led to the latter's team looking down on Huo Yuhao's stage fright. Even though Huo Yuhao's team won one after another in the elimination rounds with their own strength, they arrogantly attributed the credit to Xie Huanyue.

After both sides confirmed the opponents on the list, Cheng Chang'an revealed a playful smile and glanced mockingly at Huo Yuhao and his two companions.

Others might fear Xie Huanyue, a fourth-ringed martial soul, but they had no fear whatsoever. A mindless ape-like martial soul that only knew close combat couldn't break their teamwork.

As if sensing the mocking gaze from Cheng An, Huo Yuhao raised his head slightly and met the former's gaze head-on.

Just then, the student named Gou Luanshi, whom they had encountered in the first round of the freshman assessment, appeared behind Cheng Zhang'an at some point, whispered something in his ear, and then looked at Huo Yuhao and the others with a venomous gaze.

Huo Yuhao found this scene familiar and amusing, but Xie Huanyue, who had been paying close attention to his emotions, suddenly felt that Huo Yuhao seemed to have become a completely different person.

"Yuhao." Bibi Dong's voice from within his spiritual sea interrupted his thoughts.

"Just a few sugar daddies and a dog," Huo Yuhao said coldly, his whole body exuding a murderous aura. Only at this moment did he fully conform to the demeanor of the Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Cult.

"Let's go, we'll see tomorrow." Before Cui Yajie and Xie Huanyue could react, Huo Yuhao walked off the field first.

"What's wrong with him?" Cui Yajie had been observing the other three popular teams and hadn't noticed Huo Yuhao's emotional change.

"Tomorrow, cripple them for Young Master Huo." Xie Huanyue left with the same harsh words and walked away without looking back.

Cui Yajie wasn't stupid; she quickly realized that there might be something between the two sides. She frowned and looked at the Chang An team, just as she met Gou Luanshi's frivolous and provocative gesture from behind them.

"Very good..." Cui Yajie said softly, and then left the assessment area.

……

Huo Yuhao was caught by Ma Xiaotao on his way to the cafeteria. With her female intuition, she keenly sensed that something was wrong with Huo Yuhao's emotions.

"What's wrong with you? Who offended you?" Ma Xiaotao raised her fist at him. "In Shrek Academy, no one dares to offend the man I, Ma Xiaotao, have my eye on."

Huo Yuhao felt a warmth in his heart and gently took her hand. "It's nothing, I was just thinking about some things from the past."

Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Ma Xiaotao did not force him. She directly pulled him and flew to the inner courtyard. The food there was far superior to that in the outer courtyard canteen. She had special privileges and could bring any outer courtyard student into the inner courtyard at will.

It must be said that the ingredients in the inner courtyard are much rarer than those in the area around the east gate of Shrek City. As the personal disciple of the dean of the Martial Soul Department, Ma Xiaotao has much higher privileges than ordinary teachers, such as being able to take an outer courtyard student to the inner courtyard to eat and stay freely.

That night, Huo Yuhao was naturally pulled into bed by Ma Xiaotao. Out of longing for this young man, Ma Xiaotao couldn't wait to have a passionate lovemaking session with him, and finally fell into a deep sleep while holding him.

However, Huo Yuhao couldn't sleep all night because some people had stirred up his past memories.

"That woman is just imagining things. Show her the evidence if you dare!"

"I've always been a fair and just person; I can resolve any conflicts or misunderstandings, right?"

"From the public's perspective, the other party is innocent; it must have been that woman who orchestrated this as a premeditated act of revenge."

"It's just that someone leaked the photos. It's just a few photos; it doesn't really harm the woman!"

"Look, so many people dislike her, and you still talk about influencing public opinion? Is public opinion the same as the will of the people?"

"Why should I put myself in her shoes? I'm not a woman! Should I expect others to empathize with her suffering?"

"Why don't you report it to the police? If you do, then go find the culprit!"

"What? That woman actually jumped off the building? We were just joking, and we're still helping her find the culprit! Why would she do something like that?"

……

When Cui Yajie saw him the next day, she was startled. It was the first time she had ever seen Huo Yuhao with such an expression. His original charm and indifference had disappeared, replaced by a bloodthirsty and brutal excitement.

Xie Huanyue glanced at Huo Yuhao once before turning his head away, covering his eyes with the brim of his straw hat. He had spent several months with Huo Yuhao, and there were some things he didn't need to say.

Cui Yajie once again noticed Gou Luanshi not far behind Chang An and the other two in the waiting area. At this moment, half of his body was hidden in the darkness, and half of his face revealed a strange smile.

Today, there were many more people on the viewing platform in the assessment area than yesterday. Even before the competition started, it was already packed with people. Somewhat strangely, in the very center of the platform, there was a space of about three square meters where an elderly man with disheveled white hair and tattered clothes sat, his bare feet propped up on the platform railing. He was drinking from a large, purplish-red gourd. Beside him were several fragrant roasted chicken legs on oiled paper, and he himself held a chicken leg, happily munching on it while taking sips of wine.

Those who were able to climb onto the high platform to watch the battle were all teachers or elders of Shrek Academy. No one approached the old man, and no one dared to question him.

"Elder Xuan, you've arrived." Wang Yan, who had arrived earlier, respectfully walked to the disheveled old man's side and greeted him in a low voice.

"Hmm..." The old man just hummed softly and continued eating and drinking by himself.

Wang Yan quickly pointed to the audience and said, "The three young men I was talking about are over there. Yesterday..." He was naturally referring to Wang Dong's team, which had performed exceptionally well.

He had barely finished speaking when Elder Xuan impatiently waved the chicken leg in his hand and said, "I can see for myself!"

"Yes." Seeing this, Wang Yan dared not say anything more and obediently stepped aside.

The elimination round for the top eight freshmen has officially begun.

The competition area has been expanded once again, with eight spacious venues starting the competition simultaneously.

Huo Yuhao and his friends were facing off against a team from their own class. Mu Jin had informed them beforehand that while they were giving it their all, they should stop when the fight was over.

As soon as the three opponents entered the arena, they lined up horizontally. Standing in the center was Cheng An, the class monitor of Class 9, who possessed the Golden White-Eyed Wolf Martial Soul.

"Huo Yuhao, you guys need to be careful with your actions later, don't go too far with your classmates again..."

Chang An still wore a warm smile, but his words were loaded with hidden meaning.

"Oh? A guy who doesn't follow the rules and uses a soul tool, what rules do I have to follow with him?" Huo Yuhao laughed instead of getting angry, responding sarcastically.

"I've always been fair and just. Any conflict or misunderstanding can be resolved, right?" Cheng Chang'an shrugged, feigning magnanimity, and said, "You can't just say things like that..."

"They really are as blatantly biased as ever," Huo Yuhao shook his head. "That dog has found a good master, though."

"Maliciously insulting classmates is not a good thing," Cheng Chang'an shook his head and sighed.

"Pah! I think the people in this chaotic world are the innocent ones. You went to such lengths just for one match!" Gu Xiaoli couldn't help but rebuke her sharply.

"Words are useless; let's see who's the real deal." Pei Xiaoqi wasn't one to argue, but his attitude spoke volumes.

"Say your names and get ready for the match!" The supervising teacher could only remind them in a deep voice when he saw that the two sides were not getting along.

"Huo Yuhao".

"Evil Phantom Moon."

"Cui Yajie".

"May you grow up safely."

"Gu Xiaoli".

Pei Xiaoqi.

Before the clash between the two sides even began, the expressions in Huo Yuhao and the other two's eyes changed slightly.

Two purple and one black spirit rings, exceeding the limit, rose from under the feet of Chang An, who was in the lead. Gu Xiaoli, who was beside him, had three spirit rings: one yellow and two purple. Pei Xiaoqi was also extraordinary, with one yellow and one purple ring, breaking the age limit for the second spirit ring.

The colors of the three people's spirit rings immediately caused a stir, because just yesterday, Gu Xiaoli was clearly only a two-ring Great Spirit Master.

Two Soul Masters and one Great Soul Master—this is an incredibly powerful combination even among the new recruits!

On the other hand, Huo Yuhao's team changed their usual lineup. The usually inconspicuous Cui Yajie stood at the front, with Huo Yuhao and Xie Huanyue each flanking her on one side.

Cui Yajie was the first to complete the spirit possession. Influenced by Huo Yuhao's simulated spirit skills, she had never shown the true number and color of her spirit rings during the competition. Many people thought that she, who had just transferred classes, was still just a Nine-Tailed Fox Great Spirit Master with normal spirit ring ratios.

A black spirit ring appeared first, followed by another black spirit ring. Then, the shocking red spirit ring that stunned the entire arena finally rose slowly for the first time during the match.

"Ten, a hundred thousand-year soul ring!"
