Douluo Continent: The Great Summoner Huo Yuhao

With both sides taking the stage, the second match began.

However, this also means it's destined to be a one-sided match.

Without hesitation, Huo Yuhao activated the rift and, with the help of the spider silk, appeared behind a shield-wielding Soul Master from Thousand Spirits Academy with Ma Xiaotao in the next instant.

Before he could react, the two of them threw punches at the same time, sending the Soul Master holding the shield off the field.

The referee had just announced the start, and the audience on the stage hadn't even seen what was happening yet. The only person left on the stage from the Thousand Spirits Academy side was their captain, Shen Ce.

"Haa!"

With a loud shout, Shen Ce grasped a bright silver spear in his hand.

Two yellow, two purple, and one black soul rings rose into the air, flashing alternately.

In reality, given the teamwork of the Thousand Spirits Academy members over the years, at least three people would be needed to unleash their strongest attack.

One person controlled the field and defended, while Shen Ce and Fei Yu Yan cooperated with each other, with her Blazing Tiger assisting the Thousand Strike Spear, ultimately unleashing a strike that could rival the Soul Emperor.

With only two people working together and no one giving them time, how could the enemy possibly give them sufficient preparation?

"Give it to me, senior."

Upon seeing Shen Ce's Thousand-Strike Spear, Huo Yuhao was immediately tempted to challenge him to a duel.

He raised his hand and summoned the Golden Dragon Spear. Since his spiritual realm broke through again, he had been able to consistently find that state of selflessness where he was one with the universe.

I just never knew how strong his gun intent really was.

Can they deal with a Soul King who unleashes a ten-thousand-year-old Soul Skill?

A long roar of dragons, and a flash of gold!

A direct confrontation!

Huo Yuhao chose the most direct approach to clash head-on with Shen Ce's Thousand-Strike Spear.

The moment the tip of the Golden Dragon Spear struck the Thousand-Strike Spear, the Thousand-Strike Spear exploded with devastating force.

Shen Ce, whose martial spirit was destroyed, was in no better shape. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.

"I lost. Thank you for going easy on me."

Shen Ce struggled to his feet and bowed to Huo Yuhao.

The moment he met the Golden Dragon Spear, he felt as if his soul was about to be devoured by a ferocious beast from the ancient wilderness.

That was a true confrontation with death; the fear left him with almost no will to resist.

Just when he thought he was doomed, Huo Yuhao stopped.

Although his martial spirit was severely damaged, he still managed to survive by sheer luck.

"You flatter me." Huo Yuhao clasped his hands in return.

"I can imagine that your academy should focus on team battles, right? Two-two-three is a bit of a disadvantage for you. Your Thousand Strike Spear has a high adaptability and fusion level, and it feels like it can be paired with various attribute amplifications. If you fuse it with mutually exclusive attributes like ice and fire or light and dark, it should be able to unleash extremely strong output."

The world is truly full of wonders. The moment Huo Yuhao came into contact with the Thousand Strike Spear, he discovered that a small amount of light energy had been incorporated into it.

Keep in mind that it was an attack from his enemy; how could it be fused together?

It's unthinkable for teammates to coordinate like this.

Huo Yuhao's words shattered Shen Ce's last shred of hope.

It was completely seen through, which is enough to illustrate the gap between the two sides...

"Go for it, Brother Shen! I believe in you. But you should get off the stage soon, the ladies in the audience are glaring at me like they want to eat me alive..."

Huo Yuhao didn't forget to encourage Shen Ce, and he was also a little curious about who was responsible for amplifying Shen Ce's attributes with the so-called dual control of ice and fire.

Surely it can't really be like I guessed, with both ice and fire effects amplified?

Two women and one man. This Brother Shen is quite powerful. If it were him, I'm afraid the two of them, Ice and Fire, would start fighting.

Once the referee arrived in time to announce Shrek Academy's victory, Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao returned to the preparation area together.

No sooner had they returned to the preparation area than Ma Xiaotao suddenly collapsed, prompting Huo Yuhao to catch her in a panic.

"Ah... I can't suppress this rage anymore... Yuhao..."

Ma Xiaotao suddenly blushed and her body became burning hot, startling Huo Yuhao.

"Don't worry, Sister Tao, I'll take you back to the hotel right away."

Really? She only threw one punch...

Under everyone's stunned gaze, Huo Yuhao used a gap to bring Ma Xiaotao back to her room.

Just as he was about to gently place Ma Xiaotao on the bed, Ma Xiaotao rolled over and pinned Huo Yuhao beneath her.

"You're lying to me. There's no need for me to fight. After what happened today, even if you were alone, let alone finding someone to help you, I don't think there would be any problem! Why do you insist on making me fight?"

Ma Xiaotao glared at Huo Yuhao, annoyed. Although she had guessed what was going on, she thought, "Why can't this kid just say it directly? He has to go through all this trouble."

"Sigh... If I don't say it that way, Sister Tao, can you get through this? Anyone can see how lost and depressed you've been lately. I know that deep down you crave battle, but you're just afraid, worried about being controlled by evil forces. Trust me, Sister Tao, just be yourself."

For Huo Yuhao, Ma Xiaotao and Wu Ming were both his great benefactors.

Without these two senior students, he would have had a hard time getting through the initial period of the semester.

It's easy to add flowers to brocade, but difficult to deliver coal in the snow.

He certainly wouldn't forget the kindness shown to them, and since he had the ability to help Ma Xiaotao solve her troubles, he naturally had to do it.

Huo Yuhao's words came from the bottom of his heart, and Ma Xiaotao could naturally feel his sincerity.

In particular, the two had experienced intimacy under the Sea God Lake, and now he was able to resolve his evil energy problem.

Ma Xiaotao knew that perhaps she would be bound to Huo Yuhao for the rest of her life.

"Okay, I believe you. Then... do you believe me?"

"Hmm? Of course I believe you, senior." Huo Yuhao chuckled as he asked the question.

"Okay." Ma Xiaotao nodded, confirming their mutual feelings, and decided it was time to deepen their relationship.

"Hey! Senior!"

"Don't move! You promised to trust me... Do you really think I can ever leave you, little one, in this lifetime? It's unfair to others in a way that I've taken the initiative, but I'm not greedy. Just don't forget to give me a proper status in the future."

After ruthlessly and brutally suppressing Huo Yuhao once again, Ma Xiaotao uttered her final harsh words.

"Don't forget what I said beneath Poseidon Lake: if you refuse me, even if I can't bear to kill you, I will definitely commit suicide. I'm not kidding. I've made up my mind to live the rest of my life for you. If you don't need it, then I will die."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao stopped resisting; he could sense Ma Xiaotao's seriousness.

And to be honest, he had feelings for Ma Xiaotao and didn't dislike her at all.

But in this situation, with his companions injured or unconscious, he had to shoulder all the burdens.

Is it really a good idea to accept romantic feelings between children at this time?

"Okay, I won't pressure you. I'm just trying to deepen our relationship in other ways. Ultimately, it's up to you to decide your first official relationship. Don't hesitate, I'm shy myself!"

Ma Xiaotao's face turned bright red. She just wanted to confirm each other's feelings and give each other a guarantee for the future, so why was it so difficult?

Seeing that Huo Yuhao had finally relaxed and stopped resisting, Ma Xiaotao took a deep breath and then decisively lowered her head.

Faced with such a taboo, both of them were awkward, but they were both trying their best to respond to each other's passionate feelings.
