Peerless: Tang San, this time Huo Yuhao is the attacker.

Cui Yajie was indifferent to this. She was just a filler, and she only hung out with Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu because they had been in the same team during the freshman assessment.

She wasn't the one who had to hand over the soul bone, nor was she the one whose leg was to be broken. What she felt most was the shock at the immense power Huo Yuhao had displayed.

Thinking back to the freshman assessment, Huo Yuhao was just a nobody who wasn't even a second-ring spirit. She always thought that the other party was able to win because of good luck in being able to use the spirit fusion skill with Wang Dong.

But today, Huo Yuhao's feat of defeating the Millennium Silver Iron Bear with his second-ring cultivation level undoubtedly imprints the word "powerful" on himself.

The upgrade assessment continued, and soon it was Zhu Lu's turn. Her opponent was a 700-year-old giant rock crocodile, a defensive soul beast that was not good at speed, judging from its name.

This is obviously good news for Zhu Lu, whose martial soul is the Netherworld Cat, as her high attack and high speed are fully displayed.

Despite occasional minor mistakes, he was able to overcome them in time by leveraging his speed advantage, ultimately achieving a score of 105 points.

This score would rank among the top in the group, but for the bet, defeat was inevitable.

After the scores were announced, Zhu Lu looked extremely pale. In contrast, Dai Huabin, who had been very flustered, suddenly calmed down, as if he had suddenly gained confidence.

With Xiao Xiao's appearance, the bet was truly over.

Xiao Xiao chose a soul beast with a lifespan of seven hundred years. Don't be fooled by her focus on control; her attack power is by no means weak.

The Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron is the most sinister martial soul Huo Yuhao has ever seen. Its two soul skills, Cauldron Tremor and Cauldron Sway, are both high-attack and highly controllable skills.

The future third soul skill, "The Might of the Cauldron," will not only amplify the first and second soul skills, but also strengthen the defense of the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, directly making up for its only defensive weakness.

A martial soul that simultaneously possesses high damage, high defense, and strong control skills, its overpowered nature is comparable to Guo Jing's Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, with high damage on both the left and right hands.

Xiao Xiao's final score was 110 points. The 10 points deducted for combat skills were because she directly stunned her opponent with the cauldron, failing to demonstrate the control of the battlefield that a control-type Soul Master should have.

After leaving the arena, Xiao Xiao expressed her anger and asked Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong a probing question: "Does wiping out all my opponents mean I don't have control?"

Huo Yuhao brought Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao to Dai Huabin and the other two, his tone calm yet carrying the pity of a superior for a subordinate.

"Dai Huabin, I'll give you three days to come up with the bet. Of course, you can also choose not to comply."

However, I don't know how many people will know about our written agreement and the teleportation device.

Upon hearing this, Dai Huabin's calm expression changed slightly, his breathing became noticeably heavier, and his eyes filled with a sinister glint. He forced out three words through clenched teeth, "Just you wait!"

Watching Huo Yuhao and the other two leave, Dai Huabin felt a surge of relief, but also a sense of disdain for Huo Yuhao.

They don't even have the most basic awareness; they're really ignorant.

He was initially worried that Huo Yuhao would hand over the evidence to others or make it public. Even if Huo Yuhao and the other two died, his reputation would be affected, even if he didn't lose his leg. This was something he couldn't accept.

But since Huo Yuhao was so foolish, he was relieved. Dai Huabin sneered. This was the consequence of provoking him!

As Huo Yuhao turned to leave, he pondered whether three days should be enough time for Dai Huabin to gather reinforcements.

In the original novel, Dai Huabin took advantage of the two-day treasure appreciation event to make his move against Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, so three days should be enough time.

He definitely couldn't defeat the Soul Kings and Soul Emperors hired by Dai Huabin, but he had the signal flare given to him by Fan Yu.

It's called a signal flare, but it's actually a sensor-guided device. The fireworks are just a smokescreen; it doesn't rely on the location function at all. The intimidation effect is greater than the actual effect.

In the original story, after he used the signal flare, Yan Shaozhe and his gang of old bastards had already arrived, but they just stood there watching.

Based on Huo Yuhao's understanding of his teacher Fan Yu, he would definitely arrive immediately, because the signal flare was specially made by Fan Yu, and he would be the first to sense it once it was triggered.

As for why Fan Yu didn't come to the rescue, but Ma Xiaotao did instead, you'll understand if you think about it carefully.

Yan Shaozhe needed Huo Yuhao's help to suppress Ma Xiaotao's evil fire, and as her teacher, he knew all too well what Ma Xiaotao had done to Huo Yuhao before.

Back then, Ma Xiaotao almost killed Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong when she lost control of her evil fire.

Yan Shaozhe was simply worried that Huo Yuhao might harbor resentment and, while outwardly agreeing to help Ma Xiaotao because of the academy, might not actually put in the effort.

While saying they were just watching Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's performance, they were actually stalling everyone to create time for Ma Xiaotao to fabricate a story about how Huo Yuhao saved her life.

Want to see how a Grand Soul Master and a Soul Venerable would react when facing five Soul Kings and one Soul Emperor? That's quite something, like something that would only come out if a piece of their brainstem had been removed.

In Huo Yuhao's mind, Yan Shaozhe had already been sentenced to death.

He plans to have Yan Shaozhe fight against five Super Douluo and one Limit Douluo, and he wants to see how Yan Shaozhe performs.

If he performs well, he'll be executed; if he performs poorly, then he won't need to lift a finger.

So, how can we prevent Yan Shaozhe from delaying again like in the original story?

The answer is no, there's no need to avoid it. Yan Shaozhe wanted Ma Xiaotao to become his savior, so he directly used a scheme to create a rift between Ma Xiaotao and Yan Shaozhe.

Sister Tao, Dai Huabin wants to kill me, but the academy is keeping silent. Today it's Dai Huabin, tomorrow it might be Dai Yueheng, and the day after tomorrow it might be Duke Baihu.

I really don't know what to do...

In the original novel, Ma Xiaotao is portrayed as arrogant and shrewish yet thoughtful, fiercely opposed to evil and extremely responsible.

Because of the problem with the evil fire, this girl had to do nothing but cultivate and suppress it. Her only friend of the same age was her senior sister, Zhang Lexuan.

What will she think when she discovers that her teacher would compromise with "evil" for personal gain?

Huo Yuhao said he wanted to see it.

"Yuhao? Yuhao?"

Wang Dong's voice rang in his ears, pulling Huo Yuhao back from his reverie of the plan to sow discord between Ma Xiaotao and Yan Shaozhe. He looked at Wang Dong with some confusion, "What's wrong?"

"What are you thinking about so intently? Xiao Xiao and I were just talking about what we should do if Dai Huabin doesn't keep his bet and drops out of Shrek Academy."

Wang Dong's voice carried a hint of worry, because she knew that Huo Yuhao's mother had been killed by Dai Huabin.

Understanding the depth of Huo Yuhao's hatred for Dai Huabin, she worried that Dai Huabin would choose to escape, thus thwarting Huo Yuhao's plan.

"Wang Dong, have you forgotten the evidence I preserved?"
