Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 98 Fight if you're not convinced
"Temperature change".

Huo Yuhao reached out into the empty space of the room and released a wisp of cold air that was almost gentle, without causing the air temperature in the room to change in the slightest.

"I did it... I finally did it!"

As the chill gradually dissipated into the air, a stiff smile appeared on Huo Yuhao's long-silent face.

Three weeks!

Three whole weeks!

He endured three weeks of freezing temperatures from the Snow Emperor on the bed before finally grasping the basics of temperature changes and being able to actively control the intensity of the released cold air.

"This thing is way too difficult..."

The thought of the long list of skills waiting to be unlocked made Huo Yuhao feel a little apprehensive: "Fifty years? A hundred years? Can I really learn all of this in my lifetime?"

"Don't worry~"

Compared to him, Xue Di was much more optimistic: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. In the future, as your level increases and your understanding of martial spirits and attributes deepens, your progress will become faster and faster!"

To be honest, the speed at which Huo Yuhao was able to learn temperature change in three weeks using the three environmental realms had already greatly surprised Xue Di.

"I hope so."

Huo Yuhao shook his head, taking these as Xue Di's words of comfort.

He never considered himself a genius; his innate level one soul power alone proved that.

If it weren't for his sister and the wholehearted help of Tianmeng and others, he would never have been able to get to where he is today.

"It's almost time... Of course we have to set up our stall on the weekend!"

Huo Yuhao was already very familiar with the whole process of setting up a stall, from preparing materials and setting up a location to starting sales.

However, as he walked down the street today, he suddenly sensed that something seemed off.

Whether it was a senior student encountered on the road or a teacher met by chance, they all wore strange expressions composed of grief, resentment, and the shame of something being shattered.

"What's going on?"

Huo Yuhao was somewhat bewildered. Having stayed cooped up in his dorm for three whole weeks, his understanding of the outside world was naturally a bit slow.

However, judging from the appearance of this group of people, the resentment they carried ultimately led them to the academy gate.

"Since it's on my way... I might as well go and take a look."

With a flicker in his eyes, Huo Yuhao quickened his pace.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he had a feeling that this matter was somehow connected to him.

……

At the academy gate, several Soul Kings dressed in inner academy attire blocked the entrance, followed by a large group of outer academy teachers and students who had come to watch the spectacle or to confront the injustice.

"Ah...the Seven Monsters are back?"

The lead student tilted his head, looking at Wang Yan, whose face was pale and whose eyes were darting around. The coldness and anger in his eyes were almost tangible: "Where is the champion? Why couldn't you bring him back to share the joy with us?"

"I……"

Upon hearing these words, Wang Yan's face darkened even further, and his body swayed under the invisible blow, barely managing to regain his balance.

Upon seeing his appearance, the student raised his eyes and scanned the crowd, his gaze lingering on the seven people behind Wang Yan for a moment before sweeping over the onlookers.

Then he spoke again. "Come on... tell everyone how it went..."

As he uttered those words, not only the Soul King standing at the head of the group, but also his companions behind him released their Martial Souls in unison. Rings of Soul Power quietly rose up, releasing a terrifying pressure of Soul Power.

The almost tangible surge of soul power, combined with the anger of the crowd, came crashing down, far beyond what Wang Yan, a scholar who rarely participated in battles, could handle.

Fortunately, just before he was about to be knocked down, Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, who were protecting him behind him, stepped forward and withstood the pressure from the other students.

"cough…"

Xu Sanshi was in a good situation. After all, he had a tortoise shell shield with full defense, which could withstand the bombardment of the five rings, so this pressure was nothing to him.

However, Beibei was in a bit of a mess. Her body, which was blocking Wang Yan, trembled slightly, and she was almost pushed back half a step.

"Come at us if you have a problem!"

Beibei's eyes turned cold, and his originally slender body suddenly swelled up. The Dragon Transformation Technique reappeared, raising his aura to a level almost equal to that of the leader.
"We were the ones who took the stage in the competition, and we were the ones who lost! What kind of skill is it to take your anger out on others! Is this how you learned to respect your teachers and elders?"

These words instantly escalated the already tense atmosphere, causing it to spiral out of control. The students blocking the academy entrance all paled at the same time: "What did you say?"

"Beibei... let me do it..."

Wang Yan reached out to pull her with a trembling voice, only to find that Bei Bei in front of him seemed to be nailed to the spot, and he couldn't move her even an inch with his strength.

yah~
With a few soft sounds, a few strands of golden lightning crackled from the scales on Beibei's body in its rage: "Hmph? What did I say? Well, you'd better listen up..."

Shrek Academy has lost!

With a low shout, everyone who looked up felt their hearts falter, as if something inside them had suddenly cracked open.

The Shrek Academy students and teachers were visibly shaken. The Soul King at the head of the group, his eyes bloodshot, rushed forward, grabbed Bei Bei's collar (which had been ripped open by his dragon transformation), and let out a roar that was almost a wail of pain:

"What are you saying?!"

"I said……"

Beibei's eyes narrowed into golden vertical pupils, and his hands, covered in thick scales, gripped the Soul King's wrist, slowly prying it open in the face of disbelief: "The Shrek Seven Devils—have lost!"

"Dissatisfied?"

"You think we're not good enough?"

Beibei grinned angrily: "Then go ahead and try! Are you guys that strong?"

This time, the usually mild-tempered boy, who was even somewhat submissive in some matters, could no longer tolerate it.

The people in front of me... the people who came to watch the show, and even the guys who came to question me!
Is Shrek in his head?

It's probably that sense of honor that makes them proud.

Now that they've lost and their glory has been tarnished, it's as if they're being told to die, with people openly blocking the academy gate to cause trouble and demand answers...

"On behalf of the new generation of Shrek Seven Devils, I'd like to make this clear—"

The golden arcs of electricity around Beibei gradually increased, and his dragon transformation deepened under Wang Yan's thoughtful gaze. Ultimately, he used his physical strength to force the Soul King in front of him to lower his body.
"Anyone who disagrees is welcome to challenge us at any time! As long as you are old enough to participate in this Soul Master Competition, we are ready to fight... If you win, you will take over the position of the Seven Devils."

"If we lose..."

Beibei grinned menacingly: "Then get the hell out of here!!"

"You can't even beat us losers from the Soul Master Competition? Are you here at Shrek Academy just to eat and forget about us?!"
