25: Chapter 25 Spanking My Wife - Class 5 vs. Class 1!

"Next match! Class 5 vs Class 1!"

"It's here, it's here! Today's big draw!"

"Who do you think will win? Class 1's strength is recognized as the strongest. That girl named Wang Dong, it's said her Spirit is the Radiant Goddess Butterfly, she's insanely strong!"

"But Class 5 isn't weak either! Didn't you see their one-shot tactic yesterday? That control system Spirit Master named Huo Yuhao didn't even move, and he played Class 3 to death!"

"Yes, yes, yes! And that silver-haired girl, she stood still the whole time, she felt even scarier than the ones who actually fought! She should be making a move today, right?"

The atmosphere at the freshman assessment arena on the second day was several times hotter than yesterday.

When "Class 5 vs Class 1" froze on the big screen, the entire arena erupted.

Almost all the students and teachers who weren't competing flocked to the area, wanting to witness this peak duel, hailed as the "premature freshman championship final."

Huo Yuhao stood in the preparation area, calmly feeling the roaring heatwave around him, but his gaze was locked onto the figure diagonally opposite.

In Class 1's preparation area, Teacher Zhou Yi was lecturing with spit flying, while the girl with long powder-blue hair was tilting her head.

She seemed to be listening impatiently, and her beautiful eyes glanced toward Class 5's direction inadvertently.

Then, to everyone's surprise, the girl interrupted Teacher Zhou Yi's lecture, strode out with her long legs, and walked straight toward Class 5's preparation area.

"Hey, Wang Donger! What are you doing?!" Teacher Zhou Yi's roar sounded from behind, but Wang Donger ignored her.

She walked up to Huo Yuhao, looked him up and down, then raised her smooth chin, her eyes flashing with a bright and combative light.

"Hey, Huo Yuhao."

"Hmm?" Huo Yuhao looked at her, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously carried a smile he hadn't even noticed himself.

"I really didn't expect we'd face each other so soon."

Wang Donger said, her voice crisp and pleasant, like a clear spring in the mountains, "But don't worry, later on the stage, I won't hold back just because you look pretty good."

Xiao Xiao, the petite and cute girl behind her, couldn't help but cover her mouth when she heard this, almost laughing out loud.

The smile on Huo Yuhao's face deepened.

He looked at this familiar yet strange face before him, looking at his own reflection in those clear, bright powder-blue eyes, and an indescribable warmth surged in his heart.

"Me neither." He responded softly.

He said these three words lightly, yet they carried an unquestionable confidence.

Wang Donger was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting this reaction from him.

She had thought this seemingly weak-looking boy would be at least a little nervous under her aura.

But he wasn't; his eyes were as calm as a deep pool, yet they seemed to hide a starry sky capable of containing everything.

This feeling was strange.

"Hmph, then we'll see the truth on the stage!" Wang Donger dropped this sentence, turned around, and left, leaving Huo Yuhao with a dashing back.

Gu Yuena had been standing quietly beside Huo Yuhao, and when Wang Donger walked over, her silver eyes narrowed slightly.

She didn't speak, but the surrounding air seemed to cool down a bit.

Until Wang Donger walked away, she said faintly: "I don't like her aura."

Huo Yuhao's heart tightened, and he quickly explained: "It's the light attribute, it's naturally somewhat repulsive to your attribute, it's normal."

He didn't dare say that it was because Wang Donger possessed the aura of another God King.

"In any case, when you're on stage later, stay away from her." Gu Yuena said in an unquestionable tone.

"…Okay." Huo Yuhao agreed with a bitter smile.

"Both teams, take the stage!"

The referee's voice finally interrupted this pre-match interlude.

Huo Yuhao, Gu Yuena, and Wang Xiaoli walked onto the competition stage again.

Opposite them, Wang Donger, Xiao Xiao, and another tall, thin boy had already stood firm.

"Class 1, Wang Dong, level 29 attack system Spirit Master!"

"Class 1, Xiao Xiao, level 28 control and support twin spirits Spirit Master!"

"Class 1, Lin Feng, level 30 agility-attack system Spirit Master!"

As soon as Class 1's lineup was announced, there was another gasp from the audience.

Two nearing level 30, and one had even reached level 30!

And there was one with the extremely rare twin spirits!

Deserving of being the monster class brought out by Teacher Zhou Yi.

"Match start!"

With the referee's order, the battle exploded instantly!

"First Spirit Ability, Cauldron Shock!"

Xiao Xiao made the first move. Her ancient and simple Three-Life Soul Cauldron instantly expanded, and the dull shockwave spread toward Huo Yuhao and the others like ripples on water.

This was a range shock attack, not only able to interfere with the opponent's Soul Power circulation but also delay their movements.

At the same time, behind Wang Donger, a pair of huge and gorgeous butterfly wings suddenly unfolded!

Those were wings composed of pure light power, with golden patterns flowing on them, dazzling and eye-catching.

Radiant Goddess Butterfly!

"First Spirit Ability, Wing Blade!"

Wang Donger soared into the air, and with a flap of her wings, two intersecting light blades, three meters long, slashed toward Huo Yuhao from the air with a sharp piercing sound!

Her judgment was accurate; the core of Class 5 was this control system Spirit Master who never made a move!

As long as Huo Yuhao was eliminated first, Class 5's tactics would collapse without a fight!

And that level 30 agility-attack system Spirit Master, Lin Feng, saw his figure instantly disappear from the spot; his target was Class 5's other output point, Wang Xiaoli!

Class 1's coordination could be called perfect!

Control, attack, and containment were launched at the same time, the three-dimensional attack giving people no chance to catch their breath.

However, they were facing Huo Yuhao.

The moment Xiao Xiao's Cauldron Shock was launched, an invisible yet incredibly clear "battlefield map" had already appeared in the minds of Gu Yuena and Wang Xiaoli.

[Cauldron shock radius 15 meters, power is not strong, can be resisted.]

[Two light blades, speed is very fast, arriving in three seconds. Yuena, three steps to the front left, use ice wall.]

[agility-attack system cutting in from the right, target is you. Xiaoli, draw your blade in place, horizontal slash.]

Huo Yuhao's voice sounded calmly in their hearts.

All of this was completed in a flash of lightning!

Gu Yuena didn't even look at the incoming light blades, just stepped three steps to the front left according to Huo Yuhao's instructions, then gently raised her right hand.

"Click."

An ice wall, half a meter thick and crystal clear, rose from the ground, blocking exactly the path of the two light blades!

"Boom!"

The light blades collided with the ice wall, making a loud noise.

Dazzling light and cold air intertwined, ice chips splattered, the light blades shattered, and two deep cracks appeared on the ice wall.

Blocked!

On the other side, Wang Xiaoli exerted his trust in Huo Yuhao to the extreme.

He didn't even look at the opponent's position; the moment he received the instruction, he drew his blade!

"Clang!"

The black Zanpakuto drew a sharp arc and slashed horizontally from left to right!

Just as the blade swept past, Lin Feng's figure appeared there like a ghost, his claws ready to reach for Wang Xiaoli's heart.

He didn't expect the opponent's reaction to be so fast!

Or rather, this wasn't a reaction, it was a prediction!

"Clang!"

The claws collided with the blade, splashing a string of sparks.

Lin Feng only felt a huge force coming from the opponent's blade, shaking his arm numb, forcing him to borrow the force to retreat and hide his figure again.

In the first wave of confrontation, Class 1's seemingly seamless offensive was easily resolved by Class 5!

"How is that possible?!" Teacher Zhou Yi in the audience stood up abruptly, her eyes full of disbelief.

Xiao Xiao was also stunned; her Cauldron Shock seemed to have no effect on the three from Class 5!

And Wang Dong's attack and Lin Feng's sneak attack were all accurately predicted and blocked!

"Don't stop! Keep suppressing!" Wang Donger's crisp voice sounded in the air.

Her wings vibrated again, this time countless small light blades poured down like a rainstorm, covering the entire area where Class 5 was!

"Second Spirit Ability, Three-Life Resonance!"

Xiao Xiao also reacted, her second spirit ring lit up, and the Three-Life Soul Cauldron emitted circles of soft light.

Enveloping Wang Donger and Lin Feng, their Soul Power, attack power, and speed were all fully boosted!

"Xiaoli, back left, he's going to flank!"

"Nana, use ice spikes to point-shoot that cauldron!"

Huo Yuhao's Mental Energy instructions were issued again.

The battle instantly entered a white-hot stage.

On the entire competition stage, blades flashed and swords shimmered, light blades and ice crystals collided constantly.

Under Huo Yuhao's command, Wang Xiaoli was like a tireless fighting machine.

Every one of his slashes hit Lin Feng's most uncomfortable position, forcing this level 30 agility-attack system Spirit Master to be unable to exert his speed advantage, instead being suppressed and forced to retreat.

And Gu Yuena showed amazing elemental control.

She just stood there, waving her hands casually, and sharp ice spikes condensed out of thin air, whistling and accurately shooting at Xiao Xiao and her Three-Life Soul Cauldron.

The power of these ice spikes might not be great, but the angles were extremely tricky, forcing Xiao Xiao to divert a lot of energy to defend, unable to assist with peace of mind.

For a time, the situation on the field formed a strange balance.

Class 1's attack was blocked by Gu Yuena's ice wall, the agility-attack was entangled by Wang Xiaoli, and the support was harassed by Gu Yuena's ice spikes.

And Class 5, under the scheduling of Huo Yuhao, the "strongest brain," exerted 120% of the team's power!

"This Huo Yuhao… is too scary!"

A teacher watching the battle couldn't help but exclaim, "He alone brought the whole team to life! His reading and judgment of the battle situation simply don't look like a seven-year-old child!"

"No! Can't go on like this!" Wang Donger saw clearly in the air.

If they dragged it on like this, they would definitely lose as their Soul Power consumption was faster!

Must break this stalemate!

Her eyes became determined.

"Xiao Xiao, get ready!"

She shouted, and her second spirit ring lit up!

"Second Spirit Ability, Butterfly Goddess's Light!"

The Radiant Goddess Butterfly Spirit behind her shone brightly, and a thick golden beam of light full of purification and destruction aura descended from the sky.

Targeting Huo Yuhao, who was the command hub on the ground!

She used all her strength for this strike!

[Yuhao, be careful!] Tianmeng Iceworm's voice rang in Huo Yuhao's mind.

Huo Yuhao's eyes also instantly became sharp.

He knew the moment to decide the victory had arrived.

Just as that golden beam of light was about to fall, he didn't choose to dodge but raised his head.

In those deep eyes, flowing light was flickering!

Soul Shock!

Invisible Mental Energy turned into a sharp sword, piercing through the distance of space, stabbing fiercely into Wang Donger's Spiritual Sea!

"Ugh!"

Wang Donger in the air only felt a sharp pain in her brain, her eyes went black, and the operation of her Soul Power appeared a moment of stagnation.

That already formed Butterfly Goddess's Light also greatly reduced in power because of this, deviated from its original track, and blasted onto the empty ground next to it, leaving a scorched big pit.

Now!

"Nana!"

Huo Yuhao didn't even need to speak, a thought was transmitted.

Silver light flashed in Gu Yuena's eyes, and her suppressed power was finally released a little.

"Absolute Zero."

She spat out the four words softly.

A visible white cold current, with her as the center, instantly swept across the entire competition stage!

That was not ordinary ice; that was the extreme cold that could freeze even space!

The first to bear the brunt was Xiao Xiao, who was closest to her.

Xiao Xiao only felt an irresistible chill instantly invade her limbs and bones; her blood, her Soul Power, seemed to be frozen at this moment.

She watched helplessly as the white cold air covered her Three-Life Soul Cauldron, then spread to her body, freezing her and her Spirit into a crystal-clear ice sculpture together!

At the same time, the winner was decided on Wang Xiaoli's side.

Lin Feng's movements showed a flaw, and Wang Xiaoli seized the opportunity to strike the back of his neck with a clean back of the blade.

Lin Feng rolled his eyes, followed in the footsteps of the one from Class 3 yesterday, and fainted.

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, after Wang Xiaoli knocked down his opponent, he was also hit in the back by a light blade from Wang Donger, who had recovered in the air, and flew out of the arena.

2:1!

On the field, only Huo Yuhao, Gu Yuena, and Wang Donger, who was opposite with a frosty face and eyes full of shock and unwillingness, remained.

The outcome was decided.

"This match, Class 5 team, wins!" The referee's voice announced the result with a tremor.

After three seconds of silence, the whole arena erupted into cheers more intense than ever before!

"Won! Class 5 won!"

"It's incredible! They actually defeated Class 1!"

Huo Yuhao walked to the ice sculpture, reached out, and tapped it lightly.

"Click."

The ice layer shattered inch by inch, revealing Xiao Xiao, who was shivering and pale inside.

"Sorry, I didn't control the strength well." Gu Yuena said faintly.

Xiao Xiao looked at her, her eyes full of fear, unable to say a word.

Wang Donger landed from the air, put away her Spirit, and walked quickly to Xiao Xiao's side to support her.

Then, she raised her head and looked at Huo Yuhao. In those beautiful powder-blue eyes, there was no frustration of losing the game, but instead, a more vigorous flame was burning.

"Awesome!"

She said with a smile, her smile as bright as sunshine, "I lost and I am convinced! But, next time! Next time I will definitely win back!"

Huo Yuhao looked at her clear eyes without a trace of impurities, looked at her sincere smile, and a certain string in his heart was gently plucked.

"Okay, I'll wait." He responded with a smile.

"Donger, are you okay?"

Xiao Xiao recovered, pulled Wang Donger's clothes corner, then secretly leaned to her ear and whispered, "Donger, do you think… Huo Yuhao looks a bit like you?"

Wang Donger was stunned, looked at Huo Yuhao carefully again, and then shook her head.

"Does he? Why don't I think so."

She said carelessly, "Let's go, let's go! Have to practice hard when we go back! Must defeat him next time!"

Watching the backs of the two leaving, Huo Yuhao's face always carried a faint smile.

Just then, the referee teacher cleared his throat, picked up the list in his hand, and announced loudly.

"Now announcing the next round, which is also the semi-final matchup list for this freshman assessment!"

"Group 1, Class 6 team, vs, Class 2 team!"

"Group 2… Class 5 team, vs…"

The referee's voice paused, seemingly seeing a name that surprised him too.

He took a deep breath and shouted in a loud voice:

"…The original Class 7 team composed of Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and Zhou Ruoruo!"

The moment the voice fell.

The smile on Huo Yuhao's face disappeared instantly.

A murderous intent flashed away from him.

Gu Yuena beside him felt this change for the first time, and she turned her head to look at Huo Yuhao abruptly.

I saw Huo Yuhao slowly raising his head, looking at the other end of the arena.

There, a tall, golden-haired boy was holding a charming girl, looking at him with a playful and cruel gaze.

Dai Huabin.

Finally faced each other.
