Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, have a Beast Taming Space

Chapter 42 Excuse me, can I borrow your roommate for a day?

After saying goodbye to Beibei and Tang Ya, the three of them entered the cafeteria.

Huo Yuhao noticed that Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu were sitting in the corner. Although they still looked cold, there was less hostility in their eyes when they looked at them.

It seems that after learning from his mistakes last semester, Dai Huabin has also learned to restrain himself.

After all, last semester, Dai Huabin had been beaten up by Huo Yuhao more than once.

They argued over the class monitor position and went to the battleground.

This guy knows he can't win, but he's just stubborn.

Huo Yuhao was happy to help him loosen up his muscles and bones.

After breakfast, the three headed towards the new teaching building.

Moving from the white school building to the yellow school building signifies that they have officially become second-year students.

The classroom was already full of students, who greeted Huo Yuhao and his two companions as they entered.

After spending a semester together, everyone got to know each other quite well.

Teacher Wang Yan entered the classroom on time and stood in front of the podium, looking around at the whole class.

"Students, the new semester has begun."

His voice immediately silenced the classroom.

"I believe you have all gained something during the holidays. Next, we will have your first assessment in the second grade."

The students immediately tensed up, everyone hoping for a good start to the new semester.

"This assessment will be conducted in the Beast Fighting Zone."

Wang Yan continued.

"You will need to face the spirit beasts alone and receive points based on the difficulty of the chosen spirit beast. Sixty points is the passing score, and one hundred points is the maximum."

Many students looked apprehensive upon hearing that they would have to face the soul beasts alone in the beast fighting area.

Although I've seen spirit beasts before, this is the first time I've fought one alone.

Oh, right, Huo Yuhao's Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear doesn't count.

Because of Huo Yuhao's control, Jin Liu was relatively restrained in his battles against them.

Wang Yan looked around the classroom and continued to explain the assessment rules in detail: "There are three more points to note about the assessment. First, don't be too timid. If the soul beast you choose is too weak, even if you defeat it, you may not be able to pass the test."

"Secondly, don't be too reckless. If the spirit beast you choose is too powerful, and the proctor is unable to rescue you in time during the battle, the consequences could be unimaginable."

"Third, failing the battle with the soul beast doesn't mean you fail the assessment. As long as you perform well during the assessment, you can still pass."

"Finally, the assessment requirements for control and offensive types will be different. You need to leverage your strengths during the assessment."

After explaining the precautions for the assessment in detail, Wang Yan announced the end of get out of class.

The classroom suddenly became lively as students gathered in twos and threes to discuss the upcoming assessment.

"I heard there are thousand-year-old soul beasts in the Beast Fighting Area!"

"A thousand-year-old soul beast? That's far too dangerous!"

"Hey, there are more than a thousand-year-old soul beast, I've heard there are even ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts."

"Tsk tsk, raising so many soul beasts, how much money must that cost in a year?"

"Shrek is still rich."

……

Huo Yuhao noticed that Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu got up and prepared to leave the classroom.

Before leaving, Dai Huabin gave Huo Yuhao a deep look, but ultimately did not propose a bet as in the original novel.

Wang Dong leaned closer to Huo Yuhao and whispered, "It seems Dai Huabin has learned his lesson this time and knows he's no match for you."

Xiao Xiao nodded in agreement: "He was taught a lesson by you last semester."

Wu Feng also came over.

"I don't think it's that simple. This guy might be up to something. The contrast is too great."

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly: "That's fine, it saves trouble. As for what he wants to do... I don't care. We'll deal with whatever comes our way."

Huo Yuhao was confident that there were few things on the mainland that could threaten him now.

And Dai Huabin is definitely not among them.

Although he said that, Huo Yuhao was actually somewhat disappointed.

In the original novel, it was this betting incident during the assessment that led to the subsequent plot where Dai Huabin sent people to assassinate him.

It seems this important plot point is about to change.

“However…” A glint of light flashed in Huo Yuhao’s eyes.

“If he really dares to come, I wouldn’t mind teaching him a lesson again.”

The group packed their things and followed the flow of people out of the classroom.

Sunlight shines on the brand-new yellow teaching building, heralding a hopeful start to the new semester.

"I'm leaving now, I'm going to find Ning Tian."

"Bye-Bye."

……

"Let's go."

Huo Yuhao said to Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao.

"Let's go check out the arena and familiarize ourselves with the environment beforehand."

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao exchanged a smile and followed Huo Yuhao.

……

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong walked towards the dormitory chatting and laughing, the setting sun casting long shadows of the two.

Just as they reached the dormitory building, a fiery red figure suddenly appeared in their sight.

She was a girl of about eighteen or nineteen years old, tall and slender, with fiery red hair like burning flames.

Her face was flushed and her breathing was rapid. The moment she saw Huo Yuhao, her eyes lit up as if she had discovered a rare treasure.

"Are you Huo Yuhao?"

Ma Xiaotao's originally pale pink eyes turned bloodshot, and her whole body was filled with a restless aura.

During this period, after Ma Xiaotao finished her cultivation, she felt that the evil fire in her martial soul had accumulated too much and was about to backfire on her.

Just yesterday, his teacher finally brought him some good news: there was a Soul Master in the school who possessed the ultimate ice power!

The extremely cold aura that Huo Yuhao unintentionally emitted was like suddenly seeing a sweet and thirst-quenching watermelon in the sweltering heat of midsummer.

When Ma Xiaotao, who was suffering from the torment of evil fire, saw Huo Yuhao, who possessed the ultimate ice martial soul, she was like a lecherous man seeing a stunningly beautiful woman.

Can't stand it anymore!

Huo Yuhao nodded: "It's me. May I ask who you are...?"

Before she could finish speaking, Ma Xiaotao could no longer hold back.

She rushed forward and hugged Huo Yuhao tightly.

Huo Yuhao's face was instantly enveloped in a soft warmth, and a faint fragrance wafted over him.

Well!
"You, you, you...I, I, I..."

Wang Dong, standing nearby, stared in disbelief, pointing at Ma Xiaotao and rambling incoherently.

"You bastard! Let him out! Where are you pressing him down?!"

Ma Xiaotao completely ignored her. At this moment, she only felt the alluring coolness emanating from the boy in her arms, which made her feel extremely comfortable.

She took a deep, greedy breath and said to Wang Dong, "Excuse me, can I borrow your roommate for a day?"

As she finished speaking, a pair of magnificent phoenix wings suddenly unfurled behind her, their fiery red feathers gleaming in the setting sun.

Before Huo Yuhao could react, she took him and soared into the sky, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Wang Dong stood there, stamping his feet in anger: "Ah!! Who are you! I was here first! Waaaaah!"

In the sky, Huo Yuhao was held tightly in Ma Xiaotao's arms.

He could feel the fiery power within Ma Xiaotao's body stirring restlessly.

"Um... senior, relax a bit, give me some air."

Huo Yuhao spoke with difficulty.

Ma Xiaotao loosened her grip slightly, but still didn't completely let go of him.

She was clearly somewhat delirious, her body twisting and turning.

This aroused Huo Yuhao's anger.

Soon, the two landed in a secluded courtyard on Poseidon Island.

They rushed straight into the house.

"The evil fire... it's about to get out of control, quick, ice!"
