Chapter 29

Shrek Academy covers a vast area, with large open spaces between each building. After Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong left their dormitory, Wang Dong immediately stopped on the open ground outside the dormitory, turned around, and beckoned to Huo Yuhao with his fingers.

Anger burned fiercely in his heart, but Huo Yuhao did not rush forward. After experiencing life and death in the Star Dou Great Forest, he had at least learned one thing: to remain calm.

At the dormitory entrance, the old man who was leaning in a recliner slightly raised his head, and a glint of curiosity flashed in his dim eyes as he watched Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong with interest.

A faint golden light flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and a white soul ring rose from his feet as he activated his Spirit Eyes soul power.

Looking at his "ten-year soul ring," Wang Dong chuckled, "I'm very curious about how you got into the academy. Do you really dare to challenge me with just this level of skill? I don't even need to use my soul power to deal with you."

As he spoke, Wang Dong's left foot tapped the ground, and his body shot forward like an arrow. Not only was he fast, but he also moved with exceptional agility, reaching Huo Yuhao in the blink of an eye. He lifted his right foot and aimed a kick at Huo Yuhao's chest.

As he lifted his leg, Huo Yuhao noticed that Wang Dong had disproportionately long legs. The kick was about to reach him.

At that very moment, Huo Yuhao moved, quickly stepping to the right and simultaneously slapping Wang Dong's ankle with his left hand.

"Huh?" Wang Dong clearly did not expect Huo Yuhao to dodge his swift kick. He instantly retracted his right foot, dodged Huo Yuhao's left hand, and then kicked out again, this time aiming for Huo Yuhao's neck.

Huo Yuhao, as if he had foreseen Wang Dong's move, crouched down the moment Wang Dong's leg extended. In the next instant, he sprang up, and his right shoulder collided with Wang Dong's thigh.

Both of them moved quickly. To an outsider, it might have looked like Wang Dong deliberately offered his leg for Huo Yuhao to shoulder.

It must be said that Wang Dong had extremely strong physical attributes. Despite being hit on the thigh, which would have caused anyone else to lose balance, Wang Dong's right leg was lifted high, performing a split, with his left foot still firmly planted on the ground.

Huo Yuhao felt a soft and elastic sensation on his shoulder as it hit Wang Dong's thigh. Seizing the advantage, he quickly charged forward, aiming to knock Wang Dong down while he was on one leg.

Facing the incoming Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong made a surprising move. His raised right leg continued to lean backward, and his left foot kicked out, targeting Huo Yuhao. At this point, the spread of his legs had exceeded the limits of what a normal person could imagine.

Although Huo Yuhao had accurately predicted Wang Dong's previous attacks using his Spirit Eyes' mental detection, he felt Wang Dong's movement this time but had already charged forward and could not stop in time.

Having the upper hand in predicting the opponent's moves certainly had its advantages. Seeing Wang Dong's left foot kick toward his chin, Huo Yuhao simultaneously made a downward pressing motion with both hands, colliding with Wang Dong's left foot.

"Slap—" Wang Dong's strength was surprisingly great, and this kick carried an indescribable powerful shock force. Huo Yuhao felt his palms go numb and instinctively activated the power of the Black Jade Hand. Despite this, he was still forced to stagger backward.

Wang Dong, who was flipping backward, lightly touched the ground with his right foot and then brought his left foot down, flipping back to his original position. His right leg, like a whip, whistled as it aimed for Huo Yuhao's shoulder. He was clearly enraged by Huo Yuhao's earlier collision with his thigh.

Huo Yuhao, who was retreating, reacted the moment Wang Dong's right foot touched the ground and his body rebounded. His steps became agile, and he quickly dodged to the left.

"Bang—" Wang Dong's right foot slammed into the ground with such force that it left a shallow footprint on the hard stone floor, demonstrating the immense power of the kick. Immediately, he spun like a windmill, charging at Huo Yuhao with his legs acting like two steel whips, launching a barrage of attacks like a storm.

After the initial clash, Huo Yuhao had become calmer. His mental detection was fully activated, and he calmly predicted each of Wang Dong's attacks. Using the Ghost Shadow Step, which he knew a little about, he dodged Wang Dong's fierce onslaught, moving like a small boat that swayed but did not capsize.

Wang Dong was increasingly alarmed as he fought. He clearly felt that Huo Yuhao's strength was far inferior to his own, both in speed and power. Yet, his attacks could not land. Huo Yuhao's speed was not fast, but he could always predict Wang Dong's actions and dodge effectively. Even when Wang Dong tried to use feints, he could not deceive his opponent.

Wang Dong was not only proud but also very stubborn. Since he had said he would not use his soul power, he would not. He just kept intensifying his attacks, not believing that Huo Yuhao could hold out.

Indeed, Huo Yuhao was struggling to keep up. Wang Dong's leg attacks were powerful and fast. He could barely keep up by using his mental detection. As time passed, the physical disparity between him and Wang Dong became more apparent.

Huo Yuhao had grown up in hardship, suffering from malnutrition, and the nourishment from the Profound Heaven Power had only just begun. Compared to the well-trained Wang Dong, he was far behind in physical strength. Although he had activated his soul power, Wang Dong had not. However, the soul power's nourishment was internal. As the battle dragged on, Huo Yuhao began to make small mistakes, and Wang Dong's feet grazed him several times, causing his body to burn with pain. His still-inexperienced Ghost Shadow Step also became disordered, making him increasingly passive.

No, this won't do. If this continues, I will surely lose. Huo Yuhao retreated faster and faster, almost unable to avoid Wang Dong's attacks.

Suddenly, he lifted his head sharply. Wang Dong, reacting to the large movement, also looked at his face. He clearly saw a hint of purple flash in Huo Yuhao's pale golden eyes. Immediately, Wang Dong felt a sharp pain in his brain, as if pierced by a needle, and his mind went blank.

Huo Yuhao would not miss such an opportunity. He lunged forward, jumped up, and tightly embraced Wang Dong's arms with his own. His legs wrapped around Wang Dong's waist, and he forcefully knocked him to the ground.

Wang Dong had been using his legs for the entire attack. Huo Yuhao's sudden move was out of desperation. With his legs wrapped around Wang Dong's waist, how could Wang Dong's legs still generate power? He just needed to subdue him.

The sharp pain in Wang Dong's brain made him frown tightly, but it only lasted for two seconds before he regained his senses. However, his body had already been knocked to the ground by Huo Yuhao. His waist was tightly locked by Huo Yuhao's legs, and his arms were held by him. The two faces were only an inch apart, and their breaths were audible.
