Chapter 16: Revenge
Before the finals, Huo Yuhao took out the White Tiger Dagger and looked at his reflection on it, making up his mind.
After merging memories, he increasingly couldn't understand why a beast like Dai Huabin could have survived in the original timeline.
The pain and hatred after the shared experience were so intense that Huo Yuhao's hands trembled slightly.
"Repaying evil with good, how then will good be repaid?" Huo Yuhao's morality was never about tolerance and forgiveness; he always believed in "repaying kindness with kindness, and vengeance with vengeance."
And now, his simple moral concept told him to show no mercy.
On the final stage, Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo came up to give the opening remarks.
"That's Huo Yuhao, a Level 35 Ultimate Ice." Du Weilun pointed at Huo Yuhao and indicated to Yan Shaozhe.
"Old Qian, what you did was not right. How did Ultimate Ice get into the Soul Guidance Department without a sound?"
Yan Shaozhe began his negotiation to snatch the person.
"Alas, this child likes spirit tools. He came to our Soul Guidance Department as soon as he enrolled. Fan Yu didn't know what an Ultimate Spirit was at the time; he just saw that Yuhao's Spirit guidance talent was too high, so he took him as a disciple."
Listening to Qian Duoduo's reply, Yan Shaozhe felt that things were difficult. If Huo Yuhao himself liked spirit tools and had taken Fan Yu as his master, he wouldn't have much advantage in persuading him.
Just then, Du Weilun stepped onto the referee's stand. "Both sides, state your names."
"Dai Huabin."
"Zhu Lu."
"Cui Yajie."
Looking at the arrogant yellow-haired youth, Huo Yuhao no longer maintained his usual calm demeanor.
"The White Tiger Duke Dai Hao's son, Huo-Yu-Hao."
As Huo Yuhao's drawn-out name came out, expressions of shock appeared on the faces of everyone present.
Yan Shaozhe on the stage also looked at Qian Duoduo in shock. "Old Qian, this child is Dai Hao's son?"
Qian Duoduo did not respond; it was the first time he had heard of this as well.
Dai Huabin seemed to have realized something at this moment, and his entire expression turned malicious. "You're that servant's illegitimate child? In broad daylight, don't you know you're disgracing the White Tiger Duke?"
"Dai Huabin, my mother died because of you. We are irreconcilable enemies. She died from injuries and illness after being beaten. So today, you'd best hope the referee can save your life, or go pray to a god."
"Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, state your names."
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, who were beside him, were both stunned by Huo Yuhao's words. Only then, hearing Huo Yuhao's call, did they recover and state their names.
"Wang Dong."
"Xiao Xiao."
At this moment, Du Weilun on the stage was completely numb. How did a final match turn into a deathmatch? And Yan Shaozhe had even said before the match that both sides should go all out in the finals.
"A servant's son will never be presentable. Do you really think an Ultimate Spirit can change your fate?" Dai Huabin said mockingly.
Immediately, two yellow and one purple spirit rings rose.
"You really are not presentable. Can you still bark like that with such a spirit ring configuration?"
Huo Yuhao activated his Spirit Eye Spirit for the first time, and three spirit rings—one yellow, one purple, and one black—rose.
Looking at the two people clashing, Cui Yajie, as an outsider, dared not interject at all. Why get involved in such a life-and-death feud? To invite an attack?
Zhu Lu then whispered to Dai Huabin, "Huabin, let's just use the Spirit Fusion Ability. One-on-one, I'm afraid…"
Before Zhu Lu could finish, Dai Huabin interrupted, "Are you saying I can't beat a servant's son?"
Zhu Lu immediately sighed. Her interests were highly tied to Dai Huabin's. As a daughter of a branch family of the Zhu clan, she had no status to begin with. If anything happened to Dai Huabin, she would be finished.
As Zhu Lu, Cui Yajie, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao clashed head-on, Huo Yuhao activated the second awakening of his Spirit Eye Spirit.
Under this full exertion, Huo Yuhao's mental force formed a giant illusory eye behind him, casting a captivating aura over the entire arena. Huo Yuhao, in front of the illusion, was enveloped in golden light.
Du Weilun already felt some sweat on his back; that illusory eye gave him a great sense of danger.
Yan Shaozhe in the stands also exclaimed in shock, "A second awakening of a Body Spirit!"
On the stage, under the gaze of the eye, Dai Huabin felt pressure and fear continuously growing. He decisively activated his White Tiger Vajra Transformation and White Tiger Protective Barrier Spirit Abilities and charged forward.
Looking at Dai Huabin charging over, Huo Yuhao activated his Mimicry Spirit Ability to conceal his figure, and with his powerful mental force, simultaneously activated his Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Spirit.
Dai Huabin, who had charged over, anxiously searched for Huo Yuhao's figure.
Just then, Dai Huabin's White Tiger Protective Barrier instantly shattered, and his left cheek was violently struck by a powerful slap, sending him flying horizontally.
Before Dai Huabin could even get up, a punch landed on his head, making his chin have an intimate encounter with the metal floor.
What followed was a fierce onslaught like a storm. Dai Huabin was pummeled like a sandbag, curling up on the ground, desperately trying to use White Tiger Protective Barrier, but it was useless.
"Do you see? An insect like you can't even detect my presence; you can only tremble at my feet." Huo Yuhao's icy voice came.
"You—" Dai Huabin was about to retort but was punched in the mouth by Huo Yuhao, sending several teeth flying out.
"Dai Huabin, you're such a piece of trash, what right do you have to act so recklessly?" Huo Yuhao grabbed Dai Huabin's golden hair and lifted his face.
Dai Huabin tried to punch Huo Yuhao, but in the next second, Huo Yuhao jabbed hard at his shoulder, and the sound of bone breaking came.
Dai Huabin immediately grimaced in pain.
"Huo Yuhao, no matter how much you try to prove yourself, you can't change the fact that you're a servant's son, nor can you revive your mother."
Dai Huabin, having recovered slightly, said provocatively.
"It doesn't matter. I will make the Duchess experience the same pain as me. Dai Huabin, your life path is over."
Upon hearing this, Dai Huabin's eyes widened suddenly. "You wouldn't dare! This is Shrek Academy's freshman assessment. How dare you kill someone? You wouldn't dare, you definitely wouldn't dare! Referee, referee, save me, quickly save me!"
Seeing Huo Yuhao's utterly unconcerned, icy expression, Dai Huabin finally panicked and frantically called out to Du Weilun.
Seeing this, Du Weilun also rushed towards Dai Huabin, almost instantly blocking him.
"If I want to kill you, no one can stop me. I told you before we started to pray to a god, but it seems you didn't."
With that, a purple-gold light flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes.
That light ignored Du Weilun, who was blocking Dai Huabin, passing straight through him and shining on Dai Huabin's body.
"Complete Fate Deprivation," Huo Yuhao murmured softly.
