Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Chapter 48: A Trivial Competition

It was because Huo Yuhao's side was ready with their martial soul fusion skill and could unleash it at any moment. Compared to before, the two had a much higher degree of cooperation. Moreover, this time they were only using half the power from last time, so the two were relatively relaxed. Huo Yuhao held the purplish-black Rasengan in his hand, his expression normal, while Dong Xinyi curiously sized up their masterpiece from the side, as if nothing was happening.

“Since you’re ready, then let’s give it a try. I’d also like to see what’s different about you.” Wang Qiu’er walked towards the two unhurriedly, with no hint of panic on her face.

“You were waiting for us? It seems you're confident. If that's the case, then take this!”

Under Huo Yuhao's control, the Rasengan flew out of his hand. It seemed slow, but no one dared to underestimate the explosive aura it emitted.

At the same time, the third purple light from Wang Qiu’er's soul rings shone brightly, and a half-foot golden dragon head condensed in front of her. This was Wang Qiu’er's third soul skill, which she had never used before. With her strength, her soul rings were naturally the best combination of yellow, yellow, and purple.

Seeing the Rasengan approaching aggressively, the dragon head phantom flashed and shot out like a golden ray of lightning.

At that moment, some of the onlookers below the stage shouted and cheered, their faces flushed with excitement, as if they had taken a great tonic. One would think they were the main characters.

The purplish-black lightning exploded, and the golden dragon head, which was about to be shattered in an instant, burst into balls of golden light and was immediately submerged by the subsequent lightning. The rumbling sound persisted.

Seeing the purple lightning pressing down on her like dark clouds, Wang Qiu’er's expression remained unchanged. She raised the spear in her hand and rushed forward, surprisingly choosing not to avoid its sharp edge.

When Huo Yuhao and Dong Xinyi completed their martial soul fusion skill, almost all the spectators and the supervising teachers were convinced that Wang Qiu'er was doomed to defeat. However, everyone was still looking forward to a miracle, hoping that an incredible comeback could be staged.

After a long time, the lightning dissipated, and Wang Qiu’er’s figure appeared in place. A layer of golden light meandered around her body. Apart from some slight damage to her clothes, she showed no signs of injury.

“Wow.”

“Damn, this kid has potential. Kid, if you ever fight with a beauty again, oh no, I mean compete, remember to call me. Also, I’ll cover you from now on. If anything happens, just mention my name, Li Dahai.”

“Hehe, this little guy looks quite well-behaved, but who knew he had such despicable methods? But, hehe, I like it.”

The clamor from the audience pulled Huo Yuhao back from his thoughts. At first, he was a little confused, but when he turned his gaze back to Wang Qiu’er, he understood.

At this time, Wang Qiu’er was still holding the spear forward, full of heroic spirit, but looking down, her left sleeve and skirt were torn with small holes, revealing the fair and delicate skin underneath. The most outrageous part was her right shoulder, where not only was the entire sleeve tattered, but also a small piece of fabric was missing from the shoulder, vaguely revealing the light blue bandeau inside.

No wonder those onlookers had such a lecherous look on their faces. Wang Qiu’er was already extremely beautiful and belonged to the strong type of personality. This naturally aroused a desire in men to conquer her, not to mention the current situation. It would be good if no one had a nosebleed.

Huo Yuhao was also stunned for a moment. Some people liked girls packaged in exquisite clothes, and some people tried their best to strip off that packaging for in-depth communication, while Huo Yuhao preferred this type of half-covered look, which was simply a fatal temptation.

Just as he was lost in thought, a sudden chill struck. Huo Yuhao looked up and saw Wang Qiu’er, draped in a black cloak, staring at him with icy eyes. Huo Yuhao’s mouth twitched, and he thought to himself, ‘This can’t be blamed on me, right? You were the one who rushed over.’

However, these words were just a complaint in his heart. Of course, Huo Yuhao wouldn’t say them out loud to provoke the mother tyrannosaurus in front of him. Yes, she was a mother tyrannosaurus, and a purebred dragon at that.

Just like that, after the two stared at each other for a long time, Wang Qiu’er turned around and walked off the stage, which surprised Huo Yuhao, who was preparing for a storm. “Are you giving up just like that?”

Wang Qiu’er paused. “Otherwise? Stay and let the three of you gang up on me?”

Huo Yuhao awkwardly touched his nose, speechless. He wouldn’t pretend to be a gentleman and do something like a one-on-one duel. Anyone who didn’t use help was an idiot.

But thinking about it, as a soul beast emperor, how could Wang Qiu’er lack soul bones? It just depended on whether she wanted them or not. Therefore, the reward of this assessment didn’t tempt her at all.

“Let’s spar again next time. I hope you won’t be so perfunctory with me then, or I promise I’ll beat you so hard that your parents won’t recognize you.”

Wang Qiu’er left, leaving Xiao Xiao and Dong Xinyi with strange expressions. Huo Yuhao’s mouth twitched. He didn’t seem to have offended this fierce grandma, right? Could she still be holding a grudge about what happened just now? That would be too petty.

The freshman assessment was over, and the award ceremony would be held the next day. That night, Huo Yuhao asked Xiao Xiao and Dong Xinyi to gather outside the school for a small gathering, mainly to discuss the distribution of the rewards, and also to celebrate.

Jun Zailai Restaurant was no longer as desolate and deserted as it used to be, but it wasn’t as popular as when Huo Yuhao first invested in it. Huo Yuhao directly asked for a private room this time. The waiter was very efficient, and the dishes were served in less than five minutes after the three of them sat down, as if they had been prepared in advance.

Waving away the enthusiastic and hospitable waiter, Huo Yuhao looked at the two girls and didn’t beat around the bush, directly speaking frankly, “I think you have some guesses, but don’t worry, I won’t take a single point of the academy’s rewards this time.”

Hearing this, the two girls’ expressions changed, but neither of them spoke. They knew there was more to come. Involving soul bones, it was really difficult to ask them to give up like this. At the same time, the two girls were also doubting the truth of Huo Yuhao’s words.

Huo Yuhao took in the expressions of the two girls and smiled slightly, “I don’t need to say more about the preciousness of soul bones, but one shouldn’t receive rewards without merit. How could the academy give away such precious things for no reason? In the final analysis, I didn’t contribute anything. I don’t want to be in a dilemma one day because of the academy’s kindness today.”

After speaking, Huo Yuhao looked at the two thoughtful girls again, “Next, you can distribute it yourselves.” Then, Huo Yuhao directly buried himself in eating, anyway, he had already expressed it very clearly, ‘I don’t want anything, you can distribute it yourselves, it’s none of my business.’”

After a long silence, Dong Xinyi took the initiative. She took out that small notebook and wrote a line, “Yuhao, you’re right, favors are hard to repay, I don’t want it either.” After saying that, Dong Xinyi felt relieved, as if she had unloaded a heavy burden.

Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded, then he didn’t rush, continuing to eat, quietly waiting for Xiao Xiao to express her opinion. If Xiao Xiao didn’t want it either, then he would find the academy’s higher-ups before the award ceremony the next day and say that their team was giving up the rewards. As for why not at the award ceremony, that definitely wouldn’t work, as it would be suspected of slapping them in the face, and they might be given a hard time in the future.
