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

Chapter 80 You scoundrel, you've gone too far in bullying me, Yuhao!

Dai Huabin's body was thrown out like a broken sack once again. Despite being a fourth-ring cultivator, he was completely powerless against Xie Huanyue's ferocious offensive.

"How is this possible?" Zhu Lu, who was being manipulated by Huo Yuhao, watched helplessly as Dai Huabin was repeatedly knocked away by Xie Huanyue, blood flowing freely. Despair gradually crept into her heart.

Countless people stared in disbelief at the one-sided situation on the field, and couldn't help but swallow hard. This Dead Fire Sea team, apart from the first match where they were careless and one of their members was seriously injured by that Gou Luanshi using an unknown method, had always been crushing the competition in all other battles. No one had ever seen them fall into a disadvantageous position.

On the high platform, Yan Shaozhe watched the clash between the two teams thoughtfully, remaining silent. Beside him, Qian Duoduo, the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department, looked on with surprise. "Old Yan," he said, "don't you think this team is the most hidden one in the entire freshman assessment?"

"What a joke. Their methods of concealing their abilities are certainly clever, but they can't possibly fool me." Yan Shaozhe's gaze remained fixed on Huo Yuhao. "The way Xie Huanyue transformed from a 'pippi elephant' into this rubber monkey martial soul of unknown origin, the mutation of that little girl's nine-tailed fox martial soul, and the abnormalities of the martial souls of the three girls from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, are probably all the work of that kid. No wonder he was chosen as a holy son by the Holy Spirit Sect."

"Since he can continuously help others awaken and evolve their martial souls a second time, why don't we just take him under control?" A ruthless glint flashed in Qian Duoduo's eyes. Clearly, the entire academy's higher-ups already knew Huo Yuhao's identity. "With this kid's ability, why shouldn't Shrek Academy be able to create a few gods like it did ten thousand years ago?"

"This is the teacher's idea." Yan Shaozhe shook his head, then a sly smile appeared on his face. "I heard that this kid is quite the ladies' man, so I've already let Xiao Tao interact with him."

"Xiao Tao?" Qian Duoduo quickly realized, a lewd look on his face. "Old Yan, you really have the guts!"

"Sigh..." Yan Shaozhe sighed, "With his relationship with Xiao Tao, there's no worry that he won't give back to the academy in the future. It's just that girls grow up and leave home..."

-

Dai Huabin had never felt so frustrated. He never imagined that one day he would be so thoroughly humiliated by his peers in front of everyone.

Because of the rubbery nature of Xie Huanyue's body, even if one desperately attacks Xie Huanyue's body, it has no effect at all. Instead, the force is reflected back onto Xie Huanyue. Even if the attack is a tiger claw, Xie Huanyue can quickly condense a piece of unknown dark power on the surface of his body to prevent the claws from scratching him.

On the other hand, with the support of the two amplifying soul skills, every time Xie Huanyue hit them, they felt an excruciating pain as if their bones were about to fall apart.

Dai Huabin was unwilling to accept it. They were both from the Fourth Ring Road, so why was there such a big difference between them? Was it just because he had four black "eternal" marks?

Once again knocked away, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Dai Huabin's body fell to Ye Linlin's feet.

"Linlin, quickly treat Huabin!" Zhu Lu was overjoyed at the sight and urged him hurriedly. This was one of the few opportunities to fight back!

Seeing that Xie Huanyue had no intention of pursuing, Ye Linlin immediately released her martial spirit and used her soul power to heal Dai Huabin.

Seeing that Dai Huabin had been treated, Xie Huanyue not only did not press her advantage, but retreated to the rear, sat down on the ground, and became as dejected as a punctured balloon.

What? Is this a side effect of a soul skill? The audience was confused; Xie Huanyue looked like he had completely lost his fighting ability.

Huo Yuhao gave Xie Huanyue behind him a thumbs up. He had already achieved one-third of the result he wanted. Then he said to Cui Yajie, who looked impatient beside him, "Your turn."

What does this mean? Dai Huabin, who had just recovered somewhat from the treatment by the Nine Heart Begonia, barely managed to sit up, only to see that Huo Yuhao's side had changed and was rushing towards him.

Zhu Lu was still firmly controlled by Huo Yuhao, and Ye Linlin was no match for fighting. Dai Huabin, who struggled to get up, felt as if he had thought of something, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it for the time being.

As one of the few people who knew Huo Yuhao's background, Cui Yajie naturally loathed Dai Huabin. Halfway there, her third soul ring lit up, and a phantom red outer armor appeared against her delicate body, causing her aura to suddenly rise.

Having recovered some of his injuries, Dai Huabin dared not be careless. He immediately rose and unleashed a White Tiger Blazing Light Wave. Since his opponent underestimated him so much, he would make sure they paid a heavy price!

Facing the intense white light that shot towards her, Cui Yajie neither dodged nor avoided it, letting the attack land on her.

The White Tiger's fierce light wave struck Cui Yajie, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea. It only caused a ripple on her outer armor before disappearing without a trace, as if nothing had happened.

What incredible defensive power! Even Xu Sanshi, sitting in the audience, couldn't help but admire it in his heart. If it were him, although he could easily withstand Dai Huabin's attack, he definitely wouldn't have been able to do it so easily!

"Xiao Dong, I'm afraid you guys are no match for Huo Yuhao's team." Bei Bei calmly watched Xie Huan Yue and Huo Yuhao's moves and asserted, "Especially Huo Yuhao, the core of their team, he has always given me a feeling of being unfathomable."

"He's that strong?" Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao felt uneasy after hearing Bei Bei's words, but they couldn't help but agree. After all, they could never do what Huo Yuhao did, manipulating Zhu Lu of the Third Ring so easily.

"Huo Yuhao, if you have the guts, let go of my control!" Zhu Lu was pushed away by Huo Yuhao once again, feeling furious. Although Huo Yuhao had completely disoriented her with his combination of attraction and repulsion, the characteristics of her Netherworld Cat Martial Soul allowed her to greatly mitigate the damage to her body from the two forces. However, being pulled around and pushed away like a toy from beginning to end was bound to make her a laughingstock.

"Zhu Lu, if you have the guts, break free from my control!" Huo Yuhao responded shamelessly, nearly making Zhu Lu explode with anger.

Dai Huabin had already engaged in combat with Cui Yajie. Compared to Xie Huanyue's fierce attacks, Cui Yajie's fighting style was much lighter and more agile. Relying on the Immortal Fox Armor that Dai Huabin could not break, Cui Yajie dared to use her unpredictable and varied fists and feet to fight him in close combat. Her attacks, which were not too strong, were more like an insult to Dai Huabin.

You should know that Cui Yajie was originally supposed to be Dai Huabin's teammate! Cui Yajie came from a remote village and had to rely on Dai Huabin since enrolling in school, hoping to get help from the forces behind him.

"You traitor! You used to grovel and beg for my help, but now you've betrayed me for outsiders! Let's see how I deal with you!" Dai Huabin roared, his fists emitting a dark light, the starting stance of his fourth soul skill, Dark Meteor Shower.

"A fine woman like me lives between heaven and earth; how can I remain subservient to others for long?" Cui Yajie glared angrily. Now, before her beloved, she absolutely refused to reveal her past humiliation. "You scoundrel, you've gone too far in bullying me, Yuhao!"

Hearing these strange yet familiar lines, Huo Yuhao was completely taken aback. Goodness, this girl's got some skills!

Facing Dai Huabin's strongest attack soul skill, Cui Yajie's beautiful eyes widened. Her first and second soul skills could be used with the amplification of her third soul skill. She stretched out her arms, and countless bone spikes shot out from her palms.

"Annihilate the Bone Rain!"

The overwhelming bone spikes instantly engulfed Dai Huabin's Meteor Shower Soul Skill and swallowed up his body.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Cui Yajie's soul skill only condenses bone spikes for a physical attack, seemingly unable to break through Dai Huabin's two amplifying soul skills. Huo Yuhao knows that this soul skill has the characteristic of easily penetrating soul power. If Cui Yajie is allowed to unleash her full power in anger, Dai Huabin could very well be pierced through the heart and die before the referee can react.

"Ahhh—" Dai Huabin's screams instantly echoed throughout the entire square.

"Enough, Ya Jie!" Seeing the referee about to intervene, Huo Yuhao quickly shouted to stop him. He didn't want to kill Dai Huabin so easily, especially not through someone else.

He wanted to avenge Huo Yun'er himself. Without the help of Tang Buddha and Dai Mubai in this life, Huo Yun'er's chances of being resurrected were slim. And even if she were resurrected, she wouldn't want Huo Yuhao to be so cruel as to kill his father and brothers.

Upon hearing the sound, Cui Yajie immediately stopped her attack on the Ash Bones, and Dai Huabin's tragic state was revealed to everyone.

"Hiss—" Countless people, including the academy's higher-ups, couldn't help but gasp. The reason was simple: Dai Huabin was truly in a terrible state at this moment...

Before being hit by the bone spur, Dai Huabin deliberately raised his arms to protect his head, but he never expected that Cui Yajie's move would penetrate soul power so effectively.

His two transformed and amplified bodies were so vulnerable in the face of this dense rain of bones. His entire body was covered with countless bone spikes, not a single inch of it was intact. At his feet was a pool of splattered crimson blood.

Cui Yajie's soul skill didn't actually shoot out bones; it was merely a temporary condensation of soul power. Soon, the dense bone spurs turned to ashes and scattered in the wind, leaving only Dai Huabin's body riddled with bloody wounds.

What a tragic scene this is...

When the other freshmen looked at Cui Yajie, it was as if they were staring at a demon. Now, this demon revealed a coquettish smile, ran back to Huo Yuhao's side, hugged the latter's arm and shook it, which sent chills down their spines.

Indeed, women are the most difficult to mess with in the world. Huo Yuhao gave a wry smile. How could he not understand that Cui Yajie was standing up for him and Huo Yun'er from the Duke's mansion?

"Old Yan, this... should we stop the match?" Qian Duoduo swallowed hard and asked Yan Shaozhe beside him.

"Not for now." Yan Shaozhe was also frightened by Cui Yajie's cruel methods, but he clearly saw that at the moment Dai Huabin was hit, Ye Linlin also rushed to his side, using his body to block the bone spikes flying everywhere, while urging her soul power to heal him.

The reason he didn't intervene to stop the match from continuing was because he believed in the healing abilities of the Nine-Heart Begonia. At the same time, he was also curious to know what would happen if Huo Yuhao's team faced the fusion skill of the White Tiger lineage and the Zhu family.

He was clearly more concerned about the potential of Huo Yuhao and the others than the lives of the trainees. Leaving aside Huo Yuhao and Cui Yajie, the potential of Xie Huanyue alone was enough for him to disregard the lives of Dai Huabin and the others.

During his nearly 100-year reign, he had received several batches of Dai family sons into the academy. Given his understanding of the brutal competition among the direct descendants of the White Tiger lineage, the loss of a few offspring was of no consequence to them, which was enough to show that this family disregarded kinship.

The fact that Dai Huabin dared to allow his subordinates to beat and scold Huo Yuhao and his mother in the Duke's mansion is the best proof of this!

If it weren't for the Buddha's brainwashing and Electrolux's persuasion, Huo Yuhao should have been able to settle scores and ultimately find Dai Hao with Dai Huabin's head, demanding that he repent to the deceased Huo Yun'er.

The original work gave him a seemingly happy ending, but in reality, it erased the charm of the character when he first appeared, and gave him an ending where he became a loyal dog of the Tang family.

This is my original intention in creating the character Ye Linlin for Dai Huabin's team—to let the protagonist vent his hatred without making him suffer. Without Tang Buddha and Dai Mubai seeking help from a resurrected deity in this life, Huo Yun'er's character will likely have to be relegated to a less desirable role. A person's sins cannot be atoned for; this applies to Dai Huabin, and also to Bibi Dong, whom you've all been discussing, unless he's willing to become that demon king—a demon king belonging to a witch. This is why I won't write about the protagonist removing the title of Holy Spirit Cult's Holy Son.
