Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 44 1V3
“Dai Huabin…”

On the field, Huo Yuhao stared somewhat dazedly at the person opposite him, at the glamorous son of the White Tiger Duke, and gently raised his hand and waved.

The two people behind him understood each other and stepped back out of the circle, leaving him alone to confront the three of them.

Although they didn't know what grudge existed between Huo Yuhao and Dai Huabin, seeing the former's complicated and indescribable expression, these two burdens understood that this was not a match they could participate in.

"Can the captain win? I heard those two can unleash a Martial Soul Fusion Technique!"

"What's there to be afraid of..."

The girl crossed her arms: "Didn't we encounter spirit fusion before? Didn't the captain still win?"

"..."

How can it be the same!

How can the control skills released by the two second-ringed players compare to the legendary Netherworld White Tiger?
"Attention, both teams."

"After discussion, the college decided that contestants are allowed to use extreme measures and give full play to their strength in the final. If the competition gets out of control, the strong will step in to resolve it, so there is no need to worry."

The referee looked somewhat serious, clearly under immense pressure due to the rather strange rules: "The match begins!"

"—Possessed by the White Tiger!"

The moment the battle began, Dai Huabin's arrogant and aloof demeanor vanished, replaced by a pallid fur that exuded an astonishing killing intent.

With arms outstretched and chest bulging, the strong, bulging muscles instantly burst through his shirt, making the air around him seem to churn.

"Roar!"

Faced with the mysterious Huo Yuhao, Dai Huabin was quite cautious. While possessing his martial soul, he activated the White Tiger Vajra Transformation attached to his thousand-year soul ring, maximizing his own attributes.

The best choice that the Dai family had been exploring for ten thousand years was obviously very effective. After the soul skill was activated, Dai Huabin, who was only at the third ring, showed a fluctuation that was almost like that of a Soul Master.

"Evil-eyed White Tiger".

Even though he was somewhat prepared, Huo Yuhao still couldn't help but gasp when he saw this martial soul.

If he had awakened the White Tiger Martial Soul back then as well.

What will be the course of life?
"...No movement?"

Fully armed, Dai Huabin looked somewhat bewildered.

I was fully prepared to face a barrage of mental attacks, but the other party remained unmoved, even seeming to be—dazed.
He adopted an expression of being lost in thought.

"Hmph! Then don't blame me!"

Dai Huabin, whose pride had been inexplicably wounded, began to harbor murderous intent and seized the opportunity to launch an attack.

The pale light instantly coalesced into a blazing wave of light that was unleashed with tremendous force, sending distorted ripples through the air in its path.

White Tiger Fierce Light Wave!
"Annoying."

Distracted from his thoughts, Huo Yuhao glanced sideways and, following the guidance of the mental detection, stepped out of layers of illusions to dodge the attack.

However, as he cast his gaze, his eyes met a pair of beautiful eyes.

'Our eyes met…'

Cui Yajie swung her dazzling, fluffy fox tail and gave Huo Yuhao a bewitching smile, a ball of slightly pink spiritual energy spreading out with her gaze.

Charming!

"What is this?"

A glint flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes, then he frowned.

Feeling the strange thing stick to his spiritual realm with a "smack," he was momentarily stunned, not realizing it was an attack from the other party.

'It actually works?'

Cui Yajie's face lit up instantly. She hadn't expected that the tactic she thought would be useless would actually work!
"Shh-"

Just as Huo Yuhao paused due to the allure, a shadowy figure flashed out from behind Dai Huabin. With each step, the figure accelerated multiple times, moving so fast it left a trail of afterimages, almost impossible for the naked eye to follow. The two spirit rings she carried also shone brightly as she accelerated, and the afterimages that had seemingly vanished solidified, locking onto Huo Yuhao in conjunction with her attack.

"Ch..."

Huo Yuhao dodged at lightning speed, using Ghost Shadow Steps to its fullest extent, but his clothes were still torn at the corner.

This was the first guy in the entire freshman competition who he couldn't dodge.

"She's very fast. If Xiao Xiao were standing here, she would probably bypass the defenses and be sent off the stage in just a few minutes."

but--

A spirit ring rose up in front of Huo Yuhao, blocking Zhu Lu's path as she frantically pursued him.

Mental interference!

The surrounding light and shadows instantly distorted, and the steps in the phantom suddenly became disordered, but the movement only slowed down and the balance was not lost.

"It seems that mental interference is not very effective against some people with strong body control; at most, it can only be used to interrupt their movements."

A thoughtful look flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes, then another glint appeared.

Soul impact!

With her mind distracted by the mental interference, Zhu Lu, who was completely unprepared at the moment, was unable to withstand the impact. As if she had been hit by a heavy punch, she instantly leaned back and collapsed to the ground.

"Zhu Lu!"

Dai Huabin, who had just rushed close, was furious and activated his second soul skill again: "You bastard!!"

His confidence in winning this battle came from the Netherworld White Tiger.

If Zhu Lu loses her fighting ability and is forced to leave the field, the championship position will be hard to say.

"Youthful arrogance!"

Yan Shaozhe on the stage sighed with some disappointment: "If they had protected Zhu Lu as soon as they came on stage, they might have really had a chance to turn the tide... They dared to test the waters, hold back, and put their fragile agility-based characters into the battle against a powerful opponent whose background was unknown."

It doesn't show much when you're beating up weaker opponents.

When faced with a truly formidable enemy, the tactical flaws of Dai Huabin and his two companions were laid bare.

The team was disjointed, lacked adaptability, and underestimated the enemy, leading to reckless advances...

They only know how to play pretend in an academic setting, and it's obvious they've never participated in a real bloody battle.

"Hey~"

Qian Duoduo clearly wasn't going to miss any opportunity to mock him, and immediately started winking and making faces: "Dean Yan, didn't you just think Dai Huabin had a better chance of winning? Why have you suddenly changed your mind?"

"Humph!"

Yan Shaozhe glanced at him sideways, then focused his attention back on the field.

At this moment, Dai Huabin had successfully engaged Huo Yuhao in a fierce battle. With the support of the White Tiger Martial Soul, his fingers and palms were as hard as metal, and each strike brought up a fierce wind, making him look terrifying.

Faced with this murderous attack, Huo Yuhao seemed strangely excited.

The strange look in his eyes sent chills down Dai Huabin's spine.

"bring it on…"

Suddenly, Huo Yuhao stopped walking and actually stretched out his Xuan Yu hand, reaching towards his tiger paw amidst countless surprised and puzzled gazes.

"idiot!"

Dai Huabin was stunned for a moment, then a ferocious look flashed in his eyes. He gathered almost all his strength in his attack, wishing he could kill the person in front of him on the spot.

'As expected, he doesn't remember at all.'

Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes slightly.
