Chapter 34: Wang Dong, the

"You haven't lost your mind, have you?" Wang Dong looked at Su Yu, who was laughing like a maniac, with a look of helplessness on his face.

Su Yu, however, frowned and asked, "Do I look like a patient who has lost their mind?"

"Isn't that obvious? Otherwise, why would you be laughing so maniacally?" Wang Dong was somewhat suspicious of whether Su Yu had truly lost his mind, especially since Su Yu had been normal before being called away by Zhou Yi.

"Did I?"

"Didn't you?"

"I don't think so."

…………

Waking up early in the morning and looking at Huo Yu Hao's slightly reddened eyes, Su Yu didn't say much, merely patting him on the shoulder.

Clearly, Huo Yu Hao still couldn't let go of the matter regarding Dai Huabin in his heart; if he could let it go, that would truly be speechless.

But in the world of novels, there are all sorts of speechless things, and Huo Yu Hao actually did let it go.

The hatred for one's parents is something one cannot live under the same sky with!

Then, to let go of this irreconcilable hatred, is that not unfilial to one's parents?

Setting aside other things for a moment, if Su Yu were Huo Yu Hao, even if he were a descendant of the White Tiger Duke, he would still cut off all the successors of the White Tiger Duke's lineage. This was Su Yu's choice; to say "let it go" was completely impossible, unless someone picked up a pen and insisted on writing it that way...

The current Huo Yu Hao was still a young man of positive energy whose values hadn't gone astray. For the current Huo Yu Hao, he was hiding it, hiding this hatred, but later on, it just disappeared as he kept hiding it...

Holy crap, there's such a thing?

But, in fact, it really does exist...

Wang Dong drew the lots for the semi-finals, and this move almost made Su Yu choke with anger.

This was truly a case of "the green mountains are beautiful for all eternity"—a total disaster!

Because this draw, damn it, pulled Dai Huabin directly!

"Wang Dong, you'd better give me a reason not to beat you, otherwise when this competition ends, if I don't beat you to death, I won't be surnamed Su!"

Su Yu truly regretted letting Wang Dong draw the lots. Originally, according to the development in the original work, it should have at least been the final match, but Wang Dong's luck was truly inversely proportional to his looks...

"I..."

"Don't say another word, just wait to see how I deal with you when we get back..."

The referee signaled to both sides, but this match seemed to have become the match point; although it wasn't the final, it determined the ranking for the final.

Su Yu's team, hailed as the dark horse, and Dai Huabin's team, the most hopeful to win the championship—all of this was even more attractive than the final.

If Su Yu's team won this match, it would be a huge upset; if Dai Huabin and his team won, you could only say that the dark horse was ultimately no match for the champion.

After all, even the Dean had come out for this match. The quality of the freshmen in this year was surprisingly good; if they didn't come out to take a look, they might miss out on talented disciples being quietly snatched away.

Especially Qian Duoduo from the Soul Guidance Department, who was described in the original work as a shrewd fat man.

As for Yan Shaozhe, the Dean of the Martial Soul Department, let's not talk about other things for now; anyway, having a big shot backing him is all that matters.

"You are clear on the competition rules. Now, both sides, state your names!"

"Su Yu."

"Wang Dong."

"Huo Yu Hao."

Dai Huabin's side still maintained the style of their ancestors: one man and two women, just like Dai Laoda back in the day.

"Dai Huabin."

"Zhu Lu."

"Cui Yajie."

The referee extended his arms to both sides and then said, "The match begins!"

The moment the match was announced to begin, the momentum of Huo Yu Hao and Dai Huabin surged, and both of them developed killing intent toward the other.

Little did they know, Huo Yu Hao among Su Yu's group had long since been tested unknowingly, and furthermore, Yan Shaozhe had already reached a deal with Qian Duoduo...

Because the arena had become larger this time, Huo Yu Hao's "perspective-aim-lock" cheat couldn't cover everything, but the moment the referee announced the start, both sides launched their attacks simultaneously.

Wang Dong had the strongest strength, so Su Yu arranged for him to hold back Dai Huabin, while Cui Yajie was left to Huo Yu Hao.

Su Yu's strategy was actually very simple: the core of Dai Huabin's team's strength was the Nether White Tiger. As long as Zhu Lu, who was part of the Nether White Tiger, was taken out of the match early, Su Yu really didn't believe Dai Huabin could defeat all three of them alone.

In fact, they all knew the importance of this match. In terms of pure strength, Su Yu and his team didn't have much of a chance of winning overall. However, things like "chances of winning" are subject to variables; for example, the match against Huang Chutian's team was won quite easily.

If Wang Dong were to fight for his life, Su Yu didn't believe he couldn't beat Dai Huabin, but Su Yu knew that unless it was an absolute last resort, Wang Dong would never expose his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul.

However, the core turning point of this match was placed on Zhu Lu. As long as Su Yu could knock her off the stage, then this battle could definitely be won by the three of them working together to defeat Dai Huabin.

Wang Dong directly unleashed his Radiant Goddess Butterfly martial soul, flew into the air, and charged straight toward where Dai Huabin was, the golden light of the Radiant Goddess Butterfly's wings blooming behind him.

On the other side, the three of Dai Huabin still maintained their previous formation and charged forward. Dai Huabin rushed to the very front, shouting as he ran, "White Tiger, possess!"

A layer of intense pale-white light suddenly erupted from his body. Dai Huabin stretched his arms to both sides, puffed out his chest, his entire body's bones crackled, and his muscles suddenly bulged.

Looking at Dai Huabin's appearance, Su Yu really didn't want to complain about the original author's obsession with "clothes-bursting."

But fortunately, his clothes didn't break this time, though they were completely stretched out, and every muscle was extremely prominent.

Looking at those bulging muscles, Su Yu couldn't help but complain, "Damn, is this how you trained those muscles?"

What made Su Yu want to complain the most was yet to come: Dai Huabin's highly symbolic golden hair instantly turned black and white, with white occupying the majority.

On his forehead, three horizontal lines and one vertical line appeared, perfectly forming the character for "King" (Wang).

Holy crap, forehead wrinkles?

Dai Huabin's hands also turned into tiger claws. Su Yu didn't know if they were really eight inches long, but he could clearly feel the pressure. That feeling was like a fully-geared Dian Wei with twenty stacks of his passive, charging at you, a squishy character, while his first skill was active—that kind of pressure.

Looking at the three Soul Rings rising one after another, Su Yu didn't have that many concerns in his heart. No matter how awesome you are, you're still just two yellow and one purple; if you have the guts, try one yellow and two purple.

Looking at Dai Huabin with the White Tiger martial soul possessed, Huo Yu Hao's emotions were clearly not right. And indeed, as both were sons of the White Tiger Duke, he himself only had a congenital rank-one Spirit Eye martial soul.

This sense of disparity was truly hard for one to bear.

If Huo Yu Hao had possessed the Evil-Eyed White Tiger back then, there probably wouldn't have been a Peerless Tang Sect.
