Senior had always held a grudge about losing to Dai Huabin's team.
Although Senior had countless times comforted himself that Senior was not defeated by Dai Huabin, but by Shi Yu, Senior still couldn't quite get over it in Senior's heart.
Coupled with losing the class monitor position to Shi Yu, it made Senior look upon Shi Yu even less favorably.
Therefore, Senior intended to regain face here. If Senior could take first place in the assessment and surpass Shi Yu, Senior could also let out a good breath.
Shi Yu also saw a hint of provocation in Huo Yuhao's eyes, roughly understood Senior's meaning, and couldn't help but find it a bit amusing.
It seems that obtaining the Ice Emperor Martial Soul, Soul Bone, and Soul Rings has made Huo Yuhao a bit arrogant.
However, in the field of beast battling, Senior really seemed to have the capital to be arrogant.
After all, Senior could scare many Soul Beasts by simulating hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings. Ordinary hundred-year, or even thousand-year Soul Beasts, might not be able to withstand that aura.
In fact, that aura might not even be simulated, but something Senior truly possessed; it was just a way of explaining it to others.
Shi Yu also responded with Senior's eyes. Since the other party intended to compete with Shi Yu in this assessment, Senior would grant Senior's wish.
Their eyes met silently. Although neither said anything harsh nor explicitly provoked, both had the intention to compete.
"What's with that look?" Dai Huabin frowned when Senior saw Huo Yuhao also looking at himself with hostile eyes.
"It means nothing," Huo Yuhao replied indifferently.
"Senior's look doesn't seem like it means nothing. Does Senior think the assessment score can surpass us?" Dai Huabin questioned.
Because Dai Huabin had defeated Huo Yuhao Senior's team in the previous freshman assessment, Dai Huabin actually didn't have any particular hostility towards Huo Yuhao.
After all, you are already Shi Yu's defeated opponent, what reason does Shi Yu have to specifically target you?
On the contrary, Huo Yuhao held a grudge about this. Senior's situation was actually the opposite of how it originally was.
It wasn't that Huo Yuhao lacked magnanimity. If Senior had lost to others, Senior might not have been like this. Losing is losing, and winning isn't an absolute necessity.
But towards Dai Huabin, Senior truly held the mindset that Senior had to win. Once Senior lost, it was very difficult to accept.
Senior always wanted to find an opportunity to win back, and today's assessment might be that opportunity.
"Shi Yu has a certain degree of confidence," Huo Yuhao replied, looking at Dai Huabin with firm and cold eyes.
Dai Huabin frowned and also got a bit temperamental, staring at Huo Yuhao and saying, "Since you're confident, why don't we make a bet?"
Because Dai Huabin had become the vice class monitor, Dai Huabin hadn't undergone the assessment yet.
"How do you want to bet?" This was exactly what Huo Yuhao wanted; Senior just wanted to vent Senior's frustration badly.
"Let's bet on who gets a higher assessment score. If Shi Yu scores higher than you, you'll actively walk around Shi Yu whenever you see Shi Yu in the future. Shi Yu doesn't want to see that grim face of yours," said Dai Huabin.
Every time Senior saw Huo Yuhao, Senior had a long face, which made Senior annoyed.
"If you lose, Shi Yu wants you to slap yourself twice," Huo Yuhao proposed Senior's requirement.
Shi Yu was a bit surprised. Senior had thought Huo Yuhao would demand kneeling, but it turned out to be slapping.
Of course, the requirement Dai Huabin proposed also surprised Senior. In the original story, it seemed Dai Huabin initiated the bet, and it was whoever lost would kneel.
The current situation is different now, which might be related to Senior's victory and defeat being reversed.
The surrounding students all looked like they were watching a show, happy to see them make a bet.
"That's not fair. If you lose, Shi Yu also wants to slap you," Dai Huabin naturally didn't want to suffer a loss.
"Okay," Huo Yuhao agreed.
"Yu Hao, don't be impulsive," Wang Dong came to Huo Yuhao's side and softly advised.
Dai Huabin's individual strength is still very strong. Even if Huo Yuhao has now broken through to Soul Grandmaster, Senior's performance against Soul Beasts might not necessarily surpass Dai Huabin.
Huo Yuhao didn't speak, just gave Wang Dong a reassuring look.
"Wait," Shi Yu spoke up at this moment.
Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Dai Huabin all looked towards Shi Yu.
"How about adding Shi Yu and Wang Dong? Shi Yu and Dai Huabin will be one team, and you and Wang Dong will be one team. We'll add up the scores of the pairs and see who is higher, how about that?" Shi Yu said, looking at Huo Yuhao.
Regardless of Dai Huabin's character when facing others, at least when getting along with Senior, Senior was still acceptable.
Senior wouldn't say Senior considered Dai Huabin a very good friend, but Senior was a friend after all, so Senior wouldn't watch Senior suffer a loss.
Just competing one-on-one with Huo Yuhao for who gets a higher score, Dai Huabin is bound to lose.
Huo Yuhao, relying on the pressure of Senior's hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring, is almost invincible when facing some weaker Soul Beasts. Who can compete with Senior in this?
Even Senior didn't have absolute confidence.
That's why Senior proposed forming pairs, it was to let Wang Dong drag down Huo Yuhao's score.
"Since you want to play, Shi Yu will definitely accompany you," Wang Dong said coldly, also intending to help.
Huo Yuhao was also willing. Senior also couldn't quite stand Shi Yu, so if Senior could slap Senior twice, that would naturally be best.
"Shi Yu also has no problem," Dai Huabin also nodded.
"Then it's settled. Pairs will be formed, and the bet is to slap the other party twice," Shi Yu said.
The other three all nodded, their eyes meeting each other, the smell of gunpowder growing heavier.
"It's just Huo Yuhao's turn. You guys go first," Shi Yu said.
Huo Yuhao didn't waste words. Senior went to the assessment point and told the assessment Teacher that Senior wanted to challenge a hundred-year Soul Beast.
Many people showed surprise. Huo Yuhao's guts were a bit big! Senior actually dared to challenge a hundred-year Soul Beast. Wasn't Senior afraid of something happening?
They were all in the same class, and they knew a bit about Huo Yuhao's situation.
The Martial Soul was not a particularly powerful Martial Soul, and Senior's individual combat ability was not good.
Even for a strong attack type Soul Master, a hundred-year Soul Beast is relatively difficult to deal with alone, let alone a Soul Master of Huo Yuhao's type.
Most of the students before had challenged Soul Beasts of several decades, and even so, some people didn't win easily.
This was caused by various factors. It didn't mean that Soul Masters of level ten-plus or twenty-plus could absolutely crush Soul Beasts of several decades.
The actual situation would often differ due to the individual Soul Master's Martial Soul characteristics and the differences in Soul Beast abilities.
The Teacher responsible for releasing Soul Beasts released a hundred-year Soul Beast after confirming.
"This Huo Yuhao probably thinks a hundred-year Soul Beast is too simple," Dai Huabin beside Shi Yu lightly snorted.
Shi Yu didn't speak, just watched quietly, knowing Huo Yuhao's capability.
Wang Dong watched nervously, still a bit worried about something happening to Huo Yuhao.
After this hundred-year Soul Beast appeared, Senior bared Senior's teeth at Huo Yuhao and proactively launched an attack on Senior.
Huo Yuhao was calm and collected, not in a hurry to act.
"This Huo Yuhao probably wasn't scared silly, right?" many people exclaimed, all feeling anxious for Huo Yuhao.
Dai Huabin smiled, very happy to see Huo Yuhao directly severely injured by the hundred-year Soul Beast, preferably failing the assessment.
