Chapter 36 The Role of Indra's Chakra
In the deathly silent arena, the referee swallowed hard, his voice trembling as he broke the silence:
"The outcome...the battle is over!"
"Huo Yuhao's team wins!"
The students and teachers present stared wide-eyed at the boy standing in the center of the ring, one hand in his pocket, as if he were a monster.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao's right foot was pressing down on Dai Huabin's head, pinning the White Tiger Duke's eldest son firmly to the stone slab.
"Oh my god..."
"Is he really a one-ring Soul Master? He actually defeated Dai Huabin, a Soul Master with the White Tiger Martial Soul, in a head-on battle?"
"That was the Netherworld White Tiger! Even ordinary Soul Kings wouldn't stand a chance against this Soul Fusion Technique! And yet he managed to... wipe it out with just one hand?"
After the initial shock came gloating whispers.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Dai Huabin has completely lost his dignity this time. He was humiliated by having his head stepped on; let's see how he'll ever show his face in the academy again!"
"Serves him right! This guy always acts arrogantly and domineeringly because he's the son of the White Tiger Duke. Finally, someone can put him in his place!"
Listening to the surrounding chatter and feeling Dai Huabin trembling beneath his feet due to extreme humiliation, Huo Yuhao felt an endless sense of pleasure.
Is this what revenge tastes like?
No, that's not enough.
Huo Yuhao lowered his head, looking down at the face covered in blood and dust. There was no pity in his Sharingan eyes, only cold mockery.
"As expected, he's a piece of trash."
He slowly lifted his foot, his tone one of disgust, as if he had just stepped on something dirty.
"It's really an eyesore."
Before he could finish speaking...
Bang!
Huo Yuhao's right foot, which had just been raised, suddenly turned into a blur. This time, it wasn't a stomp, but a powerful kick that struck Dai Huabin hard in the left cheek.
"puff--!"
Dai Huabin couldn't even let out a scream before he was sent flying sideways.
Several bloody teeth flew through the air in a tragic arc before spraying out.
"stop!"
"Enough!"
It wasn't until then that the senior teachers in charge of maintaining order at the venue realized what was happening.
They moved swiftly, catching Dai Huabin as he was kicked away, while several strands of soul power locked onto Huo Yuhao, fearing he might try to kill him again.
Huo Yuhao slowly withdrew his leg, straightened his slightly disheveled clothes, and remained calm.
Kill him?
If I wanted to, he would have died long ago!
That kind of swift death was far too merciful for him.
Huo Yuhao looked at Dai Huabin, who was being protected by the teachers, his face covered in blood but still staring at him with resentful eyes, and sneered inwardly.
Dai Huabin, this is just the beginning.
In the future, an even crueler hell awaits you.
Would a dragon care about the anger of an ant?
No, the dragon would only find it amusing.
In Huo Yuhao's mind, the unlocking conditions for the [Tiger Skin Mask] template on the system panel appeared—guiding two key figures toward different fates.
Tang Ya was the first.
Haha, Dai Huabin.
This second spot is for you.
You can live on in this ugliness for now, carrying this overwhelming hatred and resentment towards me!
When you stop at nothing to seek revenge, when you sell your soul for power...
When the time is right, neither you, nor the other surviving members of the White Tiger family, nor even the Spirit Cat family... will escape!
"Um?"
Just then, Huo Yuhao's brows furrowed suddenly.
He suddenly felt that the purple energy Indra Chakra, which had been dormant since he obtained it, suddenly began to circulate violently.
As if nourished by some kind of emotion, that cold, noble energy was frantically nourishing his pupil power.
In their field of vision, the once clear world began to appear double, and an even more powerful pupil force seemed to be breaking out of its cocoon, giving birth to a brand new power.
Is this... the evolution of the kaleidoscope? Or...?
Huo Yuhao was startled.
No, not yet!
There are too many people and too many eyes around here, and that old fox Yan Shaozhe is still watching from up there.
This trump card must not be revealed to these Shrek Academy experts right now!
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and forcibly mobilized his mental energy to suppress the restless Indra chakra.
The red light in his eyes gradually faded, and his heterochromatic eyes returned to their original color.
He turned around and, amidst a sea of awe-inspiring gazes, walked back to the waiting area.
...
The highest point of the stands, in a shadowy corner.
An old man dressed in tattered clothes and with disheveled hair was eating a greasy chicken leg without any regard for his image, while staring at Huo Yuhao below with great interest.
He is Xuanzi, the elder of the Sea God Pavilion at Shrek Academy, the Gluttonous Douluo.
"This little guy...is interesting!"
Xuanzi threw out a bone, a glint of light flashing in his cloudy old eyes.
"Just now, when I saw him deliberately condoning that kid from the Dai family to use the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, and even giving him a push, I thought that kid was just arrogant."
"but..."
Xuanzi recalled the scene from just now.
The look in Huo Yuhao's eyes when he stepped on Dai Huabin's head.
It wasn't the triumph of a young man after defeating his opponent, nor was it simple anger.
That was a darkness that viewed all living beings as worthless weeds.
"I have discovered the darkness within him..."
Xuanzi took another big bite of the chicken leg, muttering indistinctly, but her tone was filled with undisguised excitement:
"This darkness, this ruthlessness, and that mentality of using any means necessary to achieve one's goals..."
"It's absolutely perfect!"
"Those hypocritical guys like Yan Shaozhe and Mu En will only train him to be some kind of 'guardian of justice,' which is a waste of his talent."
"After I observe him further, I will definitely take him from Mu En and make him my personal disciple!"
Xuanzi wiped his mouth with his greasy hands, looking at Huo Yuhao's back as if he were looking at a perfect work of art.
"I will nurture him into… a 'root' buried under the golden tree."
"Let him take my place, and forever protect Shrek in the darkness!"
...
After being treated with all his might by a healing-type Soul Master, Dai Huabin finally managed to wake up from his coma.
His entire body was wrapped in bandages, especially his face, which was so swollen that it was almost unrecognizable.
Even the slightest movement causes intense pain throughout my body.
"Huo Yuhao..."
Dai Huabin stared blankly in the direction of the Soul Fighting Zone in the distance, his eyes filled with resentment:
"I will make you pay the price!"
shame.
This was a humiliation he had never experienced before.
He was trampled underfoot and publicly humiliated by someone he considered a lowly person.
If he isn't killed, this thorn will forever remain embedded in his heart, becoming his inner demon.
Although the Duke's mansion was wiped out by that mysterious powerful figure...
But the White Tiger family and the Duke's mansion are two different things.
The Duke's mansion was merely the father's private residence; the family elders and core members were not there.
Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.
My father had anticipated the potential danger and specially assigned a family guard to protect me, who was stationed in Shrek City.
That's a six-ring Soul Emperor!
Huo Yuhao, no matter how talented you are, no matter how strange your self-created soul skill is...
Could you handle an assassination attempt by a Soul Emperor-level expert?
If you have someone to blame, blame yourself for provoking me!
