Chapter 158

After speaking, Dai Huabin looked coldly at Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao.

"So you two are the ones he chose, right? Fine, good, okay."

"I want to soul fight you!"

"Stepping you under my feet, I will sooner or later step him under my feet as well!"

Confused???

Wang Dong was extremely confused.

No... what is going on?

He just came to watch a show, so how did he... how did he become the protagonist in that show?

Looking at Xu Nian'an, then at Dai Huabin, an nameless fire surged in Wang Dong's heart.

"Damn it..."

Xu Nian'an used him as a shield, Dai Huabin used him as a stepping stone; this feeling... are you being polite?

Opening his mouth, Wang Dong was about to righteously refuse and angrily denounce the two idiots Xu Nian'an and Dai Huabin.

Don't go crazy in front of him.

But before he could open his mouth, Huo Yuhao's voice sounded from behind.

"I accept!"

Hearing the familiar voice from behind, Wang Dong was stunned, then immediately turned his head, his eyes widening.

"Hey, no... Huo Yuhao, are you sick in the head?"

"Can't you see he's using us as a gun, intentionally using us as a shield?"

Wang Dong didn't understand; he didn't understand why his roommate would agree to such an unreasonable request from Xu Nian'an.

"Wang Dong, please don't say that about Senior Xu. He is very good to me."

Huo Yuhao's face was full of sincerity.

Xu Nian'an was indeed very good to him, telling him about the dangers of soul beasts when they were in the Star Dou Great Forest.

And the favoritism shown when they were caught fighting outside the Shrek freshman dormitory.

Plus, on the very first day he set up his stall, seeing how hard he worked, he decisively tipped him a million gold soul coins.

Although this money wasn't given directly to him, after it was given to Tang Ya, Tang Ya clearly stated that he wouldn't need to sell fish in the future.

All expenses would be covered by the Tang Sect.

What virtue or ability did he have to encounter such a good sect and such a good senior?

And what he said back then about helping him take revenge on the White Tiger Duke Mansion wasn't a lie either.

Look, just after entering the academy, not long after school started, he immediately arranged a chance for him to take revenge on Dai Huabin.

Looking at Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong turned his head to look at Xu Nian'an again.

His lips trembled...

Good to you?

If he's good to you, would he catch you when you're fighting?

If he's good to you, would he release a soul beast to bite your butt while you're training???

Wang Dong really didn't understand Huo Yuhao's thought process.

Most importantly, he also knew that Huo Yuhao was only a level 10-something Soul Master and couldn't possibly beat the level 30-something Dai Huabin.

Of course, if Wang Dong were in Huo Yuhao's position, he certainly wouldn't refuse Dai Huabin's challenge.

Based on the one-on-one that night and the experience of running laps, their friendship had actually been initially established.

Helping his roommate Huo Yuhao fight was no problem, but he just wasn't happy about Xu Nian'an using him as a gun.

"What, are you also like that coward, afraid to fight?"

Hearing this, Xu Nian'an raised an eyebrow, his fist clenching slightly.

Fine, fine, so that's how you want to play.

"Coward, him?"

"I'm telling you, we're all freshmen, you can't insult people like that!"

Hearing Dai Huabin compare him to Xu Nian'an, Wang Dong couldn't sit still anymore.

"Then let's fight!"

Being provoked time and again, plus Dai Huabin's arrogant attitude, he was truly asking for a beating.

Wang Dong's young lady temper flared up instantly.

"Fight then, do you think I'm afraid of you!!!"

Behind the scenes of the Soul Fighting Arena.

Slap!

Seeing Xu Nian'an appear, Wang Dong instantly slapped himself in the face.

Damn it, he fell for the trick. Is it an illusion? When did...

Originally, Wang Dong would rather die than be used as a gun by Xu Nian'an, but Dai Huabin provoked him, and his inner young lady temper flared up and couldn't be stopped, so he just agreed.

Damn it, in a moment, he'd be fighting for someone else for nothing; how unpleasant.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to you. I've already applied to replace the original referee, and I will serve as the referee for this soul fight."

"If any problems arise, I'll just stop him and declare him the winner."

Upon hearing Xu Nian'an's words, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's brows instantly furrowed.

"No!"

"No!"

The two spoke in unison; clearly, they both had unyielding personalities.

Wang Dong was stunned to hear Huo Yuhao's words; he really hadn't expected him to be so decisive.

Huo Yuhao kept his head down, except for refusing Xu Nian'an's intervention at a critical moment to declare Dai Huabin the winner.

"Huo Yuhao... you."

Drip~

Creak~ creak~ creak~!

A tear mixed with blood dripped down slowly. Huo Yuhao had an emotional breakdown before the match, his teeth clenched tightly. The harsh sound of grinding teeth made Xu Nian'an frown.

"I... I cannot lose."

"It's not that I can't lose, I can't afford to lose. I just... don't want to lose to him, the Dai family!!!"

The words Huo Yuhao spoke were very calm, but the emotions contained within were like a monstrous wave. Wang Dong felt like a lonely boat on the sea, about to be overturned by the monstrous wave in the next second.

Wang Dong's pupils contracted sharply.

He had never imagined that a person, a Soul Master as ordinary as could be, a peer of his own, could radiate such powerful resentment and hatred.

"Can you tell me what exactly happened?"

Looking at Huo Yuhao's current state, Wang Dong was afraid.

He wanted to understand Huo Yuhao's past.

Huo Yuhao slowly raised his head, a pair of blood-red eyes coming into view.

Xu Nian'an saw this scene and exclaimed, "Good fellow, this is incredible."

If this Huo Yuhao were in the neighboring "Touching Head Village" and surnamed Uchiha, that would be something—he'd have directly awakened the Mangekyo.

Huo Yuhao slowly calmed his inner emotions and stood up.

"Do you care that much about my past?"

"Defeat him, and I'll tell you!"

Tsk tsk tsk~

If a man said this to a woman, it would be a direct kill, but unfortunately... Xu Nian'an looked at Wang Dong's man's face.

Especially this man's face, which was a bit pale and very effeminate, just like an older brother.

【The soul fight is about to begin, please have the students from both sides enter the arena!】

Just at this moment, the referee's voice came from the Soul Fighting Arena.

Xu Nian'an glanced at the two.

His right hand flashed, and two sets of items appeared in his hand instantly.

"Some local specialties, I hope you won't need to use them."

After urging the two to put them on before entering the arena, Xu Nian'an walked slowly toward the stage.

"I am Xu Nian'an."

Seeing the referee, Xu Nian'an flashed his right hand and took out his Student Union badge.

In fact, on most issues, the Student Union had privileges, especially since this batch was personally appointed by Yan Shaozhe.

"Please have the members from both sides enter the arena!"

Not long after, the golden-haired Dai Huabin walked out first.

The scene was in an uproar.

"They're out, they're out, it's finally starting."

"Why is it two against one?"

"Why are there three freshmen?"

On the other side, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong changed their clothes and walked out slowly as well.
