"What if I don't do what you say?"
"Then I'll beat you up and throw you out!"
...
Lin Yun, who was in the middle of cultivating, slowly opened his eyes upon hearing the commotion next door. A strange smile appeared on his lips.
It's happening, it's happening! Huo Yuhao's first fight to make a name for himself!
If not now, when else would be the perfect time to join in the fun?!
As soon as Lin Yun opened his room door, he saw an angry Huo Yuhao and a proud "big goose" preparing to go outside for a fight.
Let's rewind a few minutes.
Huo Yuhao, weighed down by his thoughts, arrived at Room 108 but found the door already open. He walked in and saw a young man with pinkish-blue medium-length hair, so handsome he could even be described as pretty, sitting on a bed.
The young man seemed a bit of a clean freak, as he had placed a blanket on the spot where he was sitting.
This was Wang Dong.
In fact, he had arrived at the academy the day before, but upon seeing the dirty room, he immediately turned around and left, spending the night at a hotel in Shrek City. He had only just returned to the dormitory not long ago.
When Huo Yuhao entered the room, Wang Dong, the "big goose," looked at him with an arrogant expression, his tone carrying a hint of condescension: "You must be my roommate, right? Out of respect for the academy's arrangements, I can reluctantly let you share the dorm with me, but you have to follow these rules."
"First, clean the dorm thoroughly. Second, you're responsible for all future cleaning in the dorm. Third, you can't bring anyone into the dorm without my permission. Fourth, no walking around naked in the dorm—it's disgusting. Fifth, don't touch my stuff."
"That's all for now. I'll add more rules if I think of them later."
Huo Yuhao was instantly furious.
Having been bullied relentlessly in the Duke's mansion since childhood, his self-esteem had grown to an extreme level. After arriving at Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao had secretly vowed never to let anyone bully him again.
But before he could even step into a classroom, just after arriving at the dorm, he was already facing bullying from his roommate?
Thus, the conversation Lin Yun had overheard earlier took place.
"What if I don't do what you say?" Huo Yuhao asked, barely containing his anger, his eyes blazing as he stared at Wang Dong.
Although Wang Dong was slightly startled by Huo Yuhao's furious gaze, when he noticed Huo Yuhao's worn-out, faded clothes, his expression returned to one of disdain. "If you don't do it, I'll beat you up and throw you out! Don't believe me? Just try it!"
"Try it, then! Let's go outside!" Huo Yuhao put down his luggage and headed for the door first.
Fighting inside the dormitory building was strictly prohibited, and any property damaged during a fight would have to be compensated for.
And the prices...
Even wooden furniture could cost you as much as gold-encrusted diamonds. It was utterly ridiculous.
Huo Yuhao might not have had time to familiarize himself with all the academy's rules, but he had memorized the ones related to fines.
Why? Because he couldn't afford to pay them!
"Outside it is, then! Let's go, idiot! Starting tomorrow, you won't be a student at Shrek Academy anymore!" Wang Dong sneered and followed Huo Yuhao out of the dormitory.
Then...
They both saw the open door of the room directly across from theirs and the person who stepped out—a young man with golden medium-length hair, sculpted features, and piercing golden eyes that radiated authority.
Most importantly, he was tall!
Huo Yuhao, who had suffered from malnutrition since childhood and was only twelve years old, hadn't even reached 1.7 meters in height.
As for Wang Dong, although he had developed normally, he was actually a girl disguised as a boy. This didn't change the fact that he was biologically female, and at this point, he had just barely surpassed 1.7 meters.
Lin Yun, on the other hand, stood at 1.8 meters!
Those golden eyes, filled with scrutiny, combined with the height advantage, immediately left Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong frozen in place, not daring to move.
Lin Yun was somewhat surprised. It was one thing for ordinary people to be intimidated by his dragon's aura, but even Wang Dong, the daughter of the Tang Buddha, was affected by it?
It seemed Lin Yun had underestimated the commanding presence he had developed as the co-ruler of the soul beasts. Whether in the Star Dou Forest or the Extreme North, he held the power of life and death over countless creatures. Even in just three years, the aura of a king of beasts had begun to emerge.
Accustomed to facing Di Tian, even if Lin Yun didn't deliberately show it, his presence was not something these teenagers could ignore!
Seeing the two protagonists too scared to move, Lin Yun's lips twitched almost imperceptibly. He casually closed the door and walked out first.
If he didn't leave soon, these two might not even end up fighting.
After Lin Yun disappeared down the hallway, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong both let out a long sigh of relief in unison.
Huo Yuhao gave Wang Dong a strange look and sneered, "I thought you were so tough. Turns out you get scared too? You only dare to act tough in front of someone you think is weak?"
"Bullshit! Who's scared? This young master isn't afraid of that guy!" Wang Dong, embarrassed and angry, shouted sharply. "Let's go, right now! I'll show you how powerful I am!"
Thud, thud, thud...
Stung by Huo Yuhao's words, Wang Dong stomped heavily on the ground as he walked outside without looking back.
Although he didn't want to admit it, when he had locked eyes with Lin Yun, Wang Dong had indeed felt an indescribable fear. Having this small vulnerability exposed by Huo Yuhao, whom he had previously looked down on, naturally made him furious.
Huo Yuhao followed behind Wang Dong, though he wasn't as angry as before. His mind was preoccupied with the brief glimpse he had caught of Lin Yun earlier.
That person reminded him of the conversation he had had with Bei Bei and the others about the new student who had entered the academy with a soul power level of 37 and possessed the so-called ultimate attribute, the Golden Dragon martial soul.
Huo Yuhao had initially been skeptical, but after seeing Lin Yun, he no longer doubted it.
The natural, intangible aura of authority that Lin Yun exuded couldn't be faked.
However, Huo Yuhao soon stopped thinking about this. No matter how strong others were, they were still others. He still had a problem in front of him to deal with. Although Wang Dong had been intimidated by Lin Yun, Huo Yuhao didn't think his roommate was truly weak.
Compared to one hundred, ten might seem small, but compared to one, ten was far superior.
Huo Yuhao was that "one." At this point, he had no right to look down on anyone.
"Idiot, it's not too late to back out now."
As soon as Huo Yuhao stepped out the door, Wang Dong, standing opposite him with his arms crossed and a look of arrogance, spoke up. His words instantly reignited Huo Yuhao's anger.
"Enough talk. If you want to fight, let's fight!" Huo Yuhao said firmly.
Meanwhile...
Lin Yun leaned against the wall with great interest, watching the two "cheat characters" face off.
"Hehe, little guy, you seem quite interested in their conflict, don't you?" A hoarse, elderly voice chuckled beside Lin Yun's ear.
It was Mu En.
PS: Don't stop reading! What if I die from being left hanging?!
