Chapter 265 Huo Yuhao, you pervert!
"Clap clap clap clap clap..."
'
As a crisp slap echoed in the air, Qiu Ji stared at Huo Yuhao with a face full of shame and indignation. Her cheeks were as red as a ripe peach, almost dripping with juice.
"Huo Yuhao! I've already gotten up, why are you still hitting me?" Qiu'er complained, covering her bottom with a wronged expression.
Qiu Ji's little bottom was already red from being spanked.
"Ahem... Qiu'er, let me explain!" Huo Yuhao tried to ease the atmosphere with a relaxed tone, but Qiu'er was clearly not buying it.
"Huo Yuhao, I'll fight you to the death!"
Qiu'er wasn't the kind of person who would silently endure things. She shouted angrily and pounced on Huo Yuhao like an angry little tiger.
She bared her little tiger teeth, ready to bite Huo Yuhao's shoulder hard, and the two began a fierce wrestling match on the bed.
Qiu'er's hair flew through the air, while Huo Yuhao dodged and tried to control Qiu'er's hands.
The playful fight lasted for quite a while, with Qiu'er's laughter and Huo Yuhao's panting filling the room.
Finally, Huo Yuhao had a sudden inspiration, grabbed Qiu'er's little feet, and began to gently tickle them.
Qiu'er burst into laughter, twisting and turning as she tried to escape Huo Yuhao's clutches, but he only tickled her more enthusiastically. Finally, amidst uncontrollable laughter, Qiu'er surrendered, panting and blushing, pleading, "Okay, okay, I give up, stop tickling me!"
However, Huo Yuhao was in the middle of a great time and was not about to let Qiu Ji off so easily. He continued to play with Qiu'er's little feet.
"Huo Yuhao! If you bully anyone again, I'll never forgive you!"
Qiu'er glared at Huo Yuhao fiercely, then quickly put on her socks and little leather shoes. However, Huo Yuhao's eyes grew brighter and brighter as he looked at Qiu'er's little feet wrapped in white socks and leather shoes!
Even though she's already wearing socks and shoes, why does she look even cuter?
"Huo Yuhao, you pervert!"
Qiu'er blushed and took off one of her little leather shoes.
Then, the little leather shoe flew directly to Huo Yuhao's face—
Half an hour later, Huo Yuhao carried Qiu'er out of the room, completely satisfied.
Huo Yuhao carried Qiu Ji on his back and slowly passed through Shrek Academy's buildings, arriving at the square.
The square was bustling with noise and excitement. Huo Yuhao looked up and scanned the square, which was now full of people.
Among the crowd, he saw familiar faces: Dai Mubai, Oscar, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Zhu Qing, Rong Rong, Ma Hongjun, as well as Audrey Wumuwell and Teacher Fan. They were all standing in the square.
On the other side of the square, Flanders and Zao Wou-Ki were also standing there.
Upon seeing Huo Yuhao arrive, the two immediately greeted him warmly.
The events of last night were still fresh in their minds. Now, Huo Yuhao was someone that Zhao Wuji and Flander had to look up to.
However, Yu Xiaogang clearly had no intention of paying attention to Huo Yuhao. At this moment, Yu Xiaogang stood in front of everyone, and his passionate speech echoed in the square.
He waved his arms, his voice loud and powerful, as if trying to convey his enthusiasm to everyone.
However, despite Yu Xiaogang's passionate delivery, apart from Teacher Fan and Audrey Umwell, the attention of the others did not seem to be on his speech.
Their presence here was more out of respect for Flander than out of genuine interest in Yu Xiaogang's speech.
Some were whispering, some were looking around, and others were simply fiddling with their fingers, seemingly waiting for something.
Xiao Wu kept her mouth close to Tang San's ear, and the two whispered to each other.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were having a lively discussion.
Dai Mubai seemed somewhat absent-minded.
Oscar and Ma Hongjun were fooling around, and in short, neither of them both bothered to pay any attention to Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang, oblivious to the awkwardness of the situation, remained engrossed in his own world, continuing passionately, "Children, the once-every-five-years Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament is about to begin! This is the highest-level competition on the entire Douluo Continent!"
Yu Xiaogang's words were filled with pride and anticipation, as if he could already see the dawn of victory.
"Moreover, this Soul Master Competition is different from previous ones. In addition to the various academies, all the major sects will participate this time. This is simply a great opportunity for us to showcase ourselves and make a name for ourselves!"
At this point, Yu Xiaogang's voice choked with emotion, and his eyes reddened. He recalled his more than twenty years of hard work and perseverance, the sweat and tears shed day and night, and finally, at this moment, he saw a glimmer of hope.
The "master" was filled with emotion. He thought of his vows, those who had distrusted him, and his past failures and setbacks.
Now, he finally has a platform to prove himself, an opportunity for everyone to see his strength and wisdom.
The people in the square probably didn't notice the tears in Yu Xiaogang's eyes, but they felt a chill.
Yu Xiaogang stood there, his heart filled with passion and anticipation.
He knew that if his team could win the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament, his name would be known throughout the world.
He imagined the moment of victory, when he would become the focus of all Soul Masters' admiration, and his name would be recorded in history, becoming a legend.
However, when he passionately shared this dream with the team members below the stage, he found that, apart from Odewmwell, no one responded to his enthusiasm.
A surge of anger welled up in Yu Xiaogang's heart. He felt ignored and neglected, a feeling he found hard to accept.
"That's not how it is, what do you mean by this?" Yu Xiaogang's voice trembled slightly; he couldn't understand why the students were so indifferent.
"Don't you have anything to say? Don't you want to proudly raise that championship trophy, symbolizing the highest honor, in front of the whole world?"
Yu Xiaogang's voice gradually rose, attempting to awaken the passion and fighting spirit in the team members' hearts.
Do you know what the prize for this competition is?
Yu Xiaogang paused for a moment, then continued in an almost trembling voice, "They are three soul bones over 80,000 years old!"
Yu Xiaogang continued to explain: "Three soul bones that are over 80,000 years old! These are priceless treasures. Their value far exceeds tens of millions of gold soul coins, and they are extremely rare on the market, with a price but no market."
If the quality of the soul bones is high enough, their value can even reach seventy to eighty million gold soul coins. Just think about it, that much money is enough to buy the entire city of Soto!
Yu Xiaogang's voice was full of seduction and excitement as he continued to brainwash the crowd.
In the world of Soul Masters, Soul Bones are an important way to improve strength; a high-quality Soul Bone can make a Soul Master's strength advance by leaps and bounds.
Moreover, the value of each soul bone is immeasurable, not to mention that three top-grade soul bones over 8 years old appeared at once. Yu Xiaogang did not believe that these children could resist the temptation of soul bones.
However, even though the master presented such a coveted reward, the audience's reaction was unusually lukewarm, as if they were not interested in the master's offer.
Seemingly sensing the master's embarrassment, Oscar couldn't help but break the silence: "Master, the question of who will win the championship is not something we can control. The decision rests entirely with Yuhao. If Yuhao chooses to represent Shrek Academy, then the championship will undoubtedly be Shrek Academy's; if he decides to serve the Spirit Hall, then the championship will naturally fall into the Spirit Hall's hands; and if Yuhao chooses to represent the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, then the championship will undoubtedly belong to the Spirit Hall."
Not to be outdone, Ma Hongjun quickly added, "That's right, Master. The championship depends entirely on Yuhao's decision. After all, as long as Yuhao participates in the Soul Master Competition, the championship will definitely be his."
Having witnessed Huo Yuhao's somewhat outrageous strength, Ma Hongjun didn't believe anyone could defeat him.
"You, you..."
'
Upon hearing Oscar and Ma Hongjun's words, the master's face instantly turned ashen, and he felt an unprecedented anger and frustration.
Their words were outrageous and utterly disrespectful to him.
The master had hoped to inspire enthusiasm and fighting spirit by setting such conditions, but he hadn't expected this response. He felt slighted, and by the very students he trusted most.
The master's heart was filled with disappointment and helplessness.
Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but look at Huo Yuhao, the instigator. However, Huo Yuhao remained calm and composed, as if all the turmoil had nothing to do with him.
Yu Xiaogang stood before him, but a feeling of indescribable frustration welled up inside him.
He wanted to open his mouth and use sharp and sarcastic words to retaliate against Huo Yuhao's calmness, but just as he was about to speak, his gaze inadvertently swept over Ning Rongrong's eyes, which were full of warning.
Ning Rongrong's eyes revealed an undeniable threat, which made Yu Xiaogang involuntarily recall the argument that had caused him to lose face the day before.
During that argument, he fainted from anger because of Ning Rongrong's sharp tongue, and the humiliation of being defeated by words still haunts him to this day.
He knew that if he clashed with Ning Rongrong again, he would only lose again, and possibly in an even more embarrassing way.
Upon imagining that scene, Yu Xiaogang immediately shut his mouth; he truly couldn't win the argument.
Moreover, when Yu Xiaogang woke up, he felt a strange discomfort all over his body, as if he was being pressed down by an invisible weight, making it hard for him to breathe.
This feeling made him wonder if his body had really been damaged by yesterday's anger.
For a fleeting moment, he even considered going to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to confront Ning Rongrong and perhaps even extort some money from her, since he felt he had been treated unfairly.
However, he quickly dismissed the idea. He knew Ning Rongrong's temper well; if he really did that, it might lead to even more serious consequences, and he might even be beaten up again.
Yu Xiaogang shook his head helplessly. He realized that his current situation was like that of a once majestic tiger that had been reduced to being bullied by dogs.
Even a gatekeeper from Wuhun City dared to lay a hand on him before; it's as if this world has gone mad.
He, a dignified master of martial spirit theory, has fallen to the point where everyone hates him.
Since there's nothing to say about that one thing, we can only talk about the second one.
The master's eyes revealed a hint of seriousness. He looked around at everyone present and then continued, "Regarding the upcoming Soul Master Competition, I must begin the next stage of your instruction."
He paused, seemingly gathering his thoughts, before continuing, "I heard you've already been to the Soto Grand Arena. That will be your primary training location for the foreseeable future. There's no specific time limit for this training; your goal is to obtain the Silver Soul Badge. Your training will only end when you obtain this badge."
The master then explained the arrangements in detail: "During this period, I will arrange for you to stay in the inn closest to the Great Spirit Arena, and you will need to bear all your own food and lodging expenses. However, as long as you have the strength, the income you receive from the Great Spirit Arena will be very considerable, enough to cover your daily expenses."
The other members of Shrek Academy had already visited the Soul Arena while Huo Yuhao was in the Star Dou Great Forest. Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong had both mentioned this to Huo Yuhao.
However, just as the master continued to explain his plan, Oscar suddenly interrupted him: "Master, before we head to the Soul Arena, I want to obtain my fourth soul ring, because my soul power has already broken through to level 40."
Oscar's words surprised everyone present, including the master himself.
Yu Xiaogang couldn't believe his ears. His eyes widened, and he asked with a hint of disbelief, "What did you say? Your soul power level has broken through to level forty? How is that possible?!"
