Chapter 17: Killing is Inevitable
At this moment, Dai Huabin was like a drowning man, grabbing wildly with both hands until he finally grabbed Du Weilun's clothes.
"Referee, referee, save me, please save me, Dean, save me!" Dai Huabin looked at Yan Shaozhe sitting in the stands and shouted hoarsely.
"Calm down, Dai Huabin, you're fine." Du Weilun used his soul power to examine Dai Huabin's body and found no problems.
"Impossible! I'm going to die! None of you can save me! Hahahaha!" Dai Huabin responded, sounding like a madman.
No one felt it more deeply than him; it was a feeling of being rejected by the world. He could clearly see his own death, just like a drowning person feeling the last breath escaping from their chest.
"Huo Yuhao, you will be expelled from Shrek Academy, you...."
Before Dai Huabin could finish speaking, Huo Yuhao interrupted him again, "The students present all testified for me that I didn't do anything. Dean, why don't you come down and check?"
Yan Shaozhe hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, but still went into the arena to check on Dai Huabin. "Dai Huabin's body is indeed fine."
"Huo-Yu-Hao, you..." Dai Huabin's voice came through, trembling.
Just then, Huo Yuhao leaned close to Dai Huabin's ear and whispered:
"Don't even mention that Dean Yan won't find any problems. Even if he does, he won't say anything. At most, he'll just give me a disciplinary action."
"Don't you understand? I'm just like you were back then. I can kill someone with any excuse and all I get is an apology."
After Huo Yuhao finished speaking, he turned to Du Weiren and asked, "Referee, aren't you going to announce the result yet?"
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao had already finished their battle. Under the suppression of Wang Dong's level 30 soul power, Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie had also been defeated.
"The winner is Huo Yuhao's team," Du Weiren announced, forcing a calm expression.
"Well then, Dean, I'll head back to my dorm now. I feel like my soul power is about to break through, so I need to go into seclusion for a while." Huo Yuhao casually made up an excuse and walked off the field.
With the champion already decided, the freshmen in the audience began to whisper among themselves again.
"Huo Yuhao is really amazing. Look how scared Dai Huabin is."
"Yes, didn't you see that even Director Du couldn't stop that last attack?"
"Young Master, his strength is indeed very strong. Should we consider winning him over? However, Duke White Tiger is indeed a bit of a problem," Wu Feng whispered to Ning Tian.
"Wu Feng, I have a feeling things aren't over so easily." Ning Tian looked at Dai Huabin on the stage, feeling that something was off.
Just as Ning Tian finished speaking, Dai Huabin, who had been unable to speak for a long time due to fear, let out a mournful wail and slowly turned into specks of light and disappeared.
The stage and the audience fell silent instantly, and Huo Yuhao happened to walk to the exit of the arena at that moment.
Everyone watched with awe as the figure slowly departed.
"Completely strip away fate, use ten times the power of fate to completely obliterate them. Letting you die so easily is really too good for you," Huo Yuhao thought to himself.
As they approached the entrance to the freshman dormitory, Mu En's gentle voice called out to Huo Yuhao, "Child, don't let hatred cloud your mind. You have a long road ahead of you, so don't go astray."
"You're finally laying it all out on me, old man. I thought you were going to give me some grand lecture."
"I've lived this long, I've seen it all, I've experienced love, hate, and all sorts of emotions, so what you're going through is nothing special."
"Will our academy protect me?" Huo Yuhao asked tentatively.
"Child, you mentioned our academy, so what do you say? The 262nd Dean of Shrek Academy in the future."
"You're joking. My current performance isn't good enough."
Mu En's promise to protect him put Huo Yuhao at ease, and the matter was considered closed for the day.
"That day will come sooner or later, child. I've been watching you ever since you made your comments about soul tools. You have talent, wisdom, and loyalty, which is very good."
"But you must not choose the wrong direction. It's good to love someone because of them, but it's not certain that you'll hate them," Old Mu said with a hint of reminiscence.
"I've learned a lot. Rest assured, I will act with a clear conscience."
After saying that, Huo Yuhao walked slowly towards the dormitory. In a daze, it seemed that an even younger version of himself was also moving forward.
In his memory, nine-year-old Huo Yuhao watched his mother struggle with all her might as she was injured and ill, but no one cared and he could only watch helplessly as his mother passed away.
Such painful memories left Huo Yuhao somewhat dazed; he couldn't tell whether it was Zhuangzi dreaming of a butterfly or a butterfly dreaming of Zhuangzi.
However, no matter what, he will avenge "him".
It was at this moment that Huo Yuhao's mental strength began to surge.
His spiritual power, which was originally at the early stage of the Spirit Realm, leaped to the peak of the Spirit Realm.
Huo Yuhao returned to his dormitory and began reading a book on the theory of soul tools. He was confident that he could raise his soul power to level 40 this year, so it was time to start planning the battle armor project.
Huo Yuhao then entered the sea of consciousness and began to absorb the aura that had been generated on his twelfth birthday.
As Huo Yuhao absorbed the halo, his soul power level increased again, breaking through level 37 and continuing to grow, but unfortunately it stopped at the peak of level 37.
At the same time, a wealth of knowledge about battle armor entered his mind, including the design, production, and forging techniques of battle armor.
Next, Huo Yuhao began to design the world's first set of battle armor based on the knowledge in his mind and his own soul power characteristics.
Generally, a Soul Master needs to reach level 50 to have the physical attributes to support a full set of One-Word Battle Armor. Their combat power will then be equivalent to that of a Soul Saint.
However, Huo Yuhao's physical fitness and mental strength far surpass those of other Soul Masters of the same level, so even a level 40 Battle Armor wouldn't be a problem for him.
While Huo Yuhao was busy forging his battle armor, the reactions from various parties outside were quite different.
Wang Dong, who had taken Xiao Xiao to the vicinity of Poseidon Lake to relax, looked lingering fear.
Thinking back to his argument with Huo Yuhao at the beginning of the semester, and combining that with the scene of Dai Huabin disappearing into thin air just now, Wang Dong's face turned pale.
Xiao Xiao, who was standing to the side, was also in no mood to think about Wang Dong accompanying her to stroll around Poseidon Lake, and she also looked dazed.
At just twelve years old, this was the first time she had ever seen someone her age die right in front of her.
Tang San in the God Realm was also a little flustered at this moment. He decided to quietly change his plan and instead offer sacrifices to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
Huo Yuhao's ability to manipulate fate also worried Tang Shenwang, as this outrageous ability also had a certain degree of restraint on him.
Inside the palace of Star Luo City, a sweet female voice rang out, "Brother, Huo Yuhao, the illegitimate son of the White Tiger Duke, killed Dai Huabin, the legitimate son of the Duke's mansion, during the Shrek Academy freshman assessment to avenge our mother."
"Oh, that's a big deal. What did Shrek Academy say?" Xu Jiawei looked at Xu Jiujiu and asked somewhat seriously.
"Shrek Academy replied that Huo Yuhao will be the new Sea God Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy, and he and Dai Hao will no longer have any connection."
"Furthermore, this incident is not about revenge. It was just that both sides went all out in their sparring and didn't stop. Huo Yuhao was also greatly injured. As an apology, Dean Yan is willing to give the White Tiger Duke's Mansion two pieces of ten-thousand-year soul bone."
