Douluo Continent: Outwitting the Ceiling of Wisdom - Yuhao Faks His Death for Ten Thousand Years

Chapter 121 Why ask a question you already know the answer to, Teacher Wu?

After leaving Tianhai Stadium, the members of Class Zero headed towards their hotel.

Pedestrians continued to stream along the road, and occasionally someone would discuss the commotion on the field, but the members of Class Zero were in a very relaxed mood.

"I'm sorry, boss—I was too impulsive."

Xie Xie walked beside Huo Yuhao, his face full of embarrassment. He scratched his head with both hands, his eyes filled with guilt, and sincerely apologized to Huo Yuhao: "I couldn't control my anger just now. I'll have to trouble you and everyone else to support me later. It wouldn't be good if things really got out of hand."

"fine."

Huo Yuhao turned his head, a gentle smile on his face, and shook his head slightly. His tone was full of tolerance. "Ye Xinglan said such excessive things that crossed your bottom line. You were already very restrained by not getting angry enough to take action directly, Xie Xie."

"Exactly!" Meng Hongchen nodded repeatedly, her tone filled with agreement and empathy. "If it were me, I would definitely get angry if I heard someone say that about me."

She and Xiao Hongchen exchanged a glance, a barely perceptible hint of emotion flashing in their eyes. Ten thousand years ago, they, as siblings, also lost their parents at a young age and knew all too well the piercing pain of having one's sore spot touched and one's family mentioned.

Therefore, I deeply sympathize with Xie Xie's outburst of anger at the time and can completely understand his impulsiveness.

"hey-hey----"

Hearing their conversation, Xie Xie's guilt vanished instantly, replaced by pure joy. He grinned widely, "Actually, I mainly knew that with you guys around, dealing with them would be as easy as chopping vegetables, that's why I dared to be so tough!"

The thought of Huo Yuhao leading Meng Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen and others to shield him filled Xie Xie with warmth.

The sense of security he felt from having a strong partner backing him up made him feel exceptionally at ease.

Just then, Xu Xiaoyan, who had been walking silently to the side, hesitated for a moment and said softly, "However, if we really have to fight a seven-on-seven team battle with them—we are not as strong as you guys, and we'll probably just be a burden. It would be best if we didn't participate, so as not to cause trouble for everyone."

There was a hint of insecurity in her voice.

Shrek Academy, after all, has a four-ring Soul Master like Yu Longyue, who is also blessed with battle armor.

Those who are slightly weaker won't be of much help if they go on the field; in fact, they might even hold the team back.

"It's alright, don't worry so much." Xiao Hongchen said casually, waving his hand with confidence. "They are older than you, and judging from their cultivation level, they are indeed opponents you can't handle right now. Don't force yourself."

He paused, a playful smile playing on his lips, and continued, "You can just pick two people who are angry with them to come on as extras and make up the numbers. The main fighting force will still be the five of us."

"When the time comes, we'll teach those arrogant Shrek bastards a lesson and vent our anger for you."

"I want to go up! I want to go up!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yangzi's eyes lit up instantly. He quickly raised his hand and chuckled, "Being able to go on stage with the five of you, Boss Huo and Boss Xiao, even if I'm just a bystander, I can still get some of your glory. Maybe I can even witness you crushing your opponents firsthand. That would be awesome!"

"Me too! Me too!"

Xie Xie immediately chimed in, his face beaming with excitement, his tone tinged with resentment: "That Ye Xinglan, isn't she only so arrogant because she's the leader of the team? This time, I'll join the leaders and show her what's what, and teach her a lesson!"

Seeing the two of them so eager to try, everyone in Class Zero couldn't help but laugh, and the already relaxed atmosphere became even more harmonious.

"no problem."

Huo Yuhao agreed softly, his tone gentle yet carrying an undeniable confidence.

He turned his head and exchanged glances with Gu Yuena, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and Ye Guyi, his three family members.

The group exchanged glances, each seeing a clear eagerness in the other's eyes for this duel. For them, it was not only about avenging Xie Xie and his companions, but also about a long-awaited opportunity to fight side by side.

Gu Yuena looked at Huo Yuhao, a gentle smile flashing in her eyes.

Finally, I was able to stand on the field with Huo Yuhao after a long time.

Even though she knew that Huo Yuhao would most likely finish the match quickly by himself, without her needing to exert much effort—

But no matter what, she felt very happy to be by his side and stand shoulder to shoulder with him, and her heart was full of anticipation.

As for Huo Yuhao, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and Ye Guyi, they exchanged smiles, their eyes filled with a hint of amusement and delight.

As students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy from ten thousand years ago, they now have the opportunity to thoroughly humiliate Shrek Academy and thwart their arrogance in this era. Naturally, they are even more eager for this opportunity and look forward to the competition the day after tomorrow.

After returning to their hotel room, which belonged to their Donghai Academy team, the group gently pushed open the door. They immediately saw Wu Changkong waiting there.

He was still wearing his signature cool and aloof outfit, his posture as upright as a pine tree, his hands behind his back, standing quietly by the window of the conference room, looking out the window, his expression calm, yet unable to conceal the composed aura around him.

Clearly, he had already learned about all the turmoil that had occurred in the stadium through communication channels, and had also received notification from the organizers of the Tianhai Alliance regarding the seven-on-seven match. At this moment, he was simply waiting quietly for their return.

Hearing the crowd enter, Wu Changkong slowly turned around.

His gaze didn't linger on anyone else, but fell directly on Huo Yuhao, his eyes intense, his tone concise and direct, without any unnecessary pleasantries: "Are you confident?"

These four simple words carry an undeniable concern and expectation.

He understood Huo Yuhao and the others' strength, yet he still subconsciously asked, both to confirm and as a silent encouragement.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's lips curled into a slight smile, his eyes carrying a meaningful glint. Meeting Wu Changkong's eager and expectant gaze, he didn't answer directly. Instead, he raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why ask a question you already know the answer to, Teacher Wu?"

His tone was full of confidence, without the slightest hesitation, as if he had already secured victory in this duel with Shrek.

Wu Changkong's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Huo Yuhao's confident expression. He shook his head helplessly and sighed softly, "Yes, it's a rhetorical question. With your strength, dealing with this Shrek Academy team is no surprise."

He paused, his tone tinged with regret and disappointment: "I only regret that my alma mater—the Central Academy of the Sun and Moon Federation—did not send any of the true prodigies of your generation to the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition this time."

"Otherwise, I'd really like to find an opportunity for you to have a proper fight with them—"
