Chapter 130 Semifinals, Against Dai Huabin
Huo Yuhao looked ahead, his gaze fixed on the lottery table in the distance, his face expressionless.
"fine."
His voice was calm, revealing no emotional fluctuation.
Wang Dong opened his mouth, wanting to ask something more, but seeing his obvious reluctance to say more, he swallowed his words in the end.
But a thoughtful glint flashed in those big, pinkish-blue eyes.
Just then, Director Du Weilun's voice rang out, echoing clearly throughout the entire competition venue.
"Dai Huabin's team, draw number one!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a low murmur arose from the surroundings.
Huo Yuhao's gaze fell on that figure, a cold glint flashing deep in his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Du Weilun's voice rang out again: "Huo Yuhao's team, draw number one!"
The entire arena fell silent for a moment after these words were spoken.
Immediately, countless eyes turned to Dai Huabin's team of three.
There was sympathy, schadenfreude, and a complex mix of emotions in that gaze.
They all felt that Dai Huabin and his two companions were incredibly unlucky.
With the strength of Dai Huabin's team, they would have been a sure thing to win the championship in previous years.
Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao emerged this year.
We may not have a chance at the championship, but a runner-up finish would be well-deserved.
But now... they've run into Huo Yuhao's team in the semifinals, and they might not even be able to keep their runner-up position.
Dai Huabin took in all the whispers, the sympathetic glances, and the regretful shakes of the head.
His brows furrowed slightly, but his face remained expressionless.
However, what outsiders don't know is that this wasn't luck, but the result of Huo Yuhao's manipulation.
Under his mental power, he knew exactly what Dai Huabin had drawn.
In Huo Yuhao's eyes, the lottery box, which was designed to block the view, was completely useless.
Therefore, given the subsequent draw, Huo Yuhao naturally wouldn't let Dai Huabin "escape"!
As soon as the results of the draw were announced, a fierce fighting spirit ignited in Wang Dong's eyes.
Those big, pinkish-blue eyes were now brimming with eager anticipation.
"Dai Huabin's team is probably the strongest besides ours," she said, her voice tinged with excitement. "If we beat them, the championship is ours!"
Xiao Xiao listened from the side and couldn't help but chuckle twice.
"No matter who our opponents are, the championship is rightfully ours!"
The competition began immediately after the draw.
The first match was between Dai Huabin's team and Huo Yuhao's team.
"Both sides enter the arena!"
Du Weilun's voice rang out again, echoing throughout the arena.
Upon hearing this, Dai Huabin and his two companions stepped onto the arena without hesitation.
On the other side... Huo Yuhao didn't rush to go on stage.
He stood still, turning his gaze to his two teammates beside him.
"Leave Dai Huabin to me."
Upon hearing this, both Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao showed a hint of surprise in their eyes.
This is the first time Huo Yuhao has offered to take the initiative since the start of the match.
Wang Dong blinked her big pinkish-blue eyes, and the image of Huo Yuhao's silent demeanor flashed through her mind. She had a vague idea of what was going on.
However, she didn't ask any further questions, but simply nodded solemnly.
"Don't worry," she said with certainty, "I promise the other two won't bother you."
Xiao Xiao stood to the side, and although she didn't understand, she nodded vigorously.
On the arena, after announcing their names, both sides stood at opposite ends of the ring.
The two captains, Huo Yuhao and Dai Huabin, locked eyes.
Dai Huabin frowned, his gaze falling on the handsome young man opposite him.
Based on previous matches, he knew that Huo Yuhao would generally not make a move at the start of a match.
He only takes action when he encounters an opponent that his teammates cannot defeat.
But now, for some reason, he always felt that the other person's gaze was fixed on him.
Could it be that Huo Yuhao values him more because he is stronger than the other trainees?
As the thought crossed Dai Huabin's mind, his brows gradually relaxed.
As a descendant of the White Tiger Duke lineage, he knew from a young age that he was different from others.
It's only natural that they would be the focus of attention from the strongest opponent.
Huo Yuhao looked at Dai Huabin's ever-changing expression and felt a chill run through him.
He was now even more certain that Dai Huabin had no idea who he was.
Perhaps, he has long forgotten the name "Yuhao".
After all, they were just ants that could be trampled underfoot when we were young.
A lowly illegitimate son, a good-for-nothing who needed courage even to look him in the eye—such a person was not worth remembering.
Huo Yuhao's lips curled into a slight smile, but there was no warmth in it.
very good!
Then let him help this young master of the White Tiger Duke's mansion to remember.
"The match begins!"
Du Weilun's voice suddenly rang out, like a thunderclap, exploding in the air above the arena.
The semi-final has officially begun!
Dai Huabin acted immediately!
As a powerful offensive Soul Master, the White Tiger Martial Soul instantly possessed him.
A crackling sound came from all around him; his bones were growing rapidly, and his muscles were expanding rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, he became much taller and more imposing, especially his hands, which were twice as big as before!
White fur covered the back of his hands, and ten fingers extended into short, dagger-like claws that gleamed coldly in the sunlight.
He let out a low whistle and then suddenly launched himself forward!
The target is Wang Dong!
But as soon as he rushed out, Wang Dong showed no intention of engaging him head-on.
With a gentle flap of her butterfly wings, she soared into the air, gracefully passing Dai Huabin and heading straight for Zhu Lu behind him!
At that very moment, a figure slowly stepped forward.
It was Huo Yuhao.
The person who had never taken the initiative to attack at the start of the game before now took a step forward, step by step, towards Dai Huabin.
Dai Huabin, who was rushing forward, suddenly stopped.
His pupils contracted slightly as he watched the figure slowly approaching, and an unprecedented sense of oppression suddenly enveloped his entire body.
Huo Yuhao!
That newly born Soul Master!
That prodigy who defeated the Soul Emperor teacher on the very first day of school!
He had no chance of winning against this person.
Dai Huabin's pupils suddenly contracted, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he couldn't help but swallow.
His judgment was correct; Huo Yuhao had his eye on him!
The feeling of being locked on by a ferocious beast made the hairs on his body stand on end.
He was born into the White Tiger Duke's mansion, where he lived a life of luxury and was arrogant and domineering from a young age.
However, he was not the kind of spoiled brat who relied solely on his status; his talent was extraordinary, even surpassing that of his older brother, Dai Yueheng.
Among his peers, his abilities have always been among the best.
This is the source of his pride, the capital that allows him to hold his head high in front of anyone.
But now... facing Huo Yuhao, he didn't even have the courage to attack?
The moment the thought crossed Dai Huabin's mind, a sinister glint flashed in his eyes.
This was something his proud heart could never tolerate!
His first spirit ring suddenly lit up, and a golden light shield instantly enveloped his entire body, greatly increasing his defensive power. This was his first spirit skill, White Tiger Protective Barrier.
Immediately afterwards, the third spirit ring also flashed!
With the activation of his Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, his already larger-than-an-adult male physique grew even larger, his muscles bulging, veins popping out, making him resemble a humanoid ferocious beast.
He opened his mouth and let out a deafening roar.
Intense white light instantly gathered at his head, dazzling and bright, as if a small sun had condensed and taken shape.
Second spirit ring activated!
White Tiger's Fierce Light Wave!
The white beam of light shot out and shot straight toward Huo Yuhao, who was not far away!
A fierce glint flashed in Dai Huabin's eyes. This attack was the culmination of all his power. Even a Soul Master would not dare to take it head-on!
Then, he saw... Huo Yuhao didn't dodge or avoid it.
He stood there quietly, his expression calm as still water, as if the attack was nothing more than a gentle breeze.
The next moment, everyone witnessed an unbelievable scene.
The white tiger's fierce light wave suddenly stopped less than a meter away from Huo Yuhao!
A platinum-gold light shield appeared in front of Huo Yuhao.
The protective shield was as thin as a cicada's wing, yet it was indestructible.
The White Tiger's fierce light wave struck it, like waves crashing against rocks, scattering and splashing in all directions, yet unable to shake it in the slightest.
Dai Huabin's eyes widened in surprise.
Then... he saw the white tiger's fierce light wave, which he had unleashed with all his might, instantly turn around and counterattack against him!
"What?!"
Dai Huabin's pupils suddenly contracted to their maximum size.
He didn't have time to think much and could only instinctively activate the White Tiger Protective Barrier to maximize his defense.
boom!
The reflected beam of light from the white tiger slammed into him!
The golden light shield trembled violently, and Dai Huabin's body was sent flying backward uncontrollably, retreating more than ten meters before he regained his footing.
Although he wasn't injured, his face was filled with disbelief and shock.
Huo Yuhao stood still, his expression remaining calm.
What he just used was the innate ability of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm—the Shield of Life Reflection.
Using this method on Dai Huabin is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
