Chapter 86 The Bet
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong's expressions changed drastically.
Besides the spirit rings that everyone receives, the only reward for the freshmen assessment is the spirit bone that Xiao Xiao absorbed.
"No way! The reward for the freshman assessment is a soul bone, a left leg bone, and it has already been absorbed. No matter what, I will not gamble with my teammate's future." Huo Yuhao said without any room for argument.
"What? Are you scared?"
Upon hearing this, Dai Huabin was stunned for a moment, and then a greedy glint flashed in his eyes. He never expected that the final reward for a small freshman assessment would be a soul bone.
At the same time, his resentment towards Huo Yuhao intensified.
If Huo Yuhao hadn't interfered with the spirit fusion technique, this spirit bone would have been theirs.
"Bet! Bet with them!" Xiao Xiao roared. Although she had a good temper, how could she tolerate being pressured like this?
"Do you know what you're saying?" Huo Yuhao reached out to stop Xiao Xiao, very dissatisfied with her joking about her body, and then looked at Dai Huabin with an unfriendly gaze.
"Your demands are no less than crippling Xiao Xiao's left leg and taking the bone. According to the principle of equivalence in the wager, you must also cripple the left leg of one person in your team and provide a soul bone of equal value."
Huo Yuhao glanced meaningfully at the other two members of Dai Huabin's team: "Are you going to gamble with the left leg of one of your teammates, or are you going to take responsibility for your own actions and gamble with your own left leg?"
Cui Yajie and Zhu Lu felt their scalps tingle under Huo Yuhao's gaze. Cui Yajie, in particular, looked at Dai Huabin with some wariness, fearing that Dai Huabin would use her as a gamble.
Zhu Lu is Dai Huabin's fiancée, after all; as an outsider, she has no desire to get involved in such matters.
Dai Huabin also sensed the unease in his two teammates, and his anger flared up even more: "It's just a soul bone, I..."
"Shut up." Just as Dai Huabin was about to agree, a sharp shout suddenly rang out, interrupting what he was about to say.
Wang Yan stormed over, his voice stern, and demanded, "What are you doing? At such a young age, you're playing with your health like this. Especially you, Dai Huabin, you don't take your own and your teammates' health seriously. How can you be a captain?"
"Teacher Wang, Dai Huabin and his group stopped us from reporting to the class and insisted on gambling. They even proposed the bet. We had no intention of agreeing, so please forgive us," Huo Yuhao said respectfully, bowing to Wang Yan.
Dai Huabin and his two companions must be out of their minds to try and ambush someone in the corridor.
Do they really think those teachers' Soul Emperor and Soul Saint cultivation levels are just for show? They're so close to the classroom, a mere hundred meters away, all their movements can't escape the teachers' watchful eyes.
"You!" Dai Huabin was even more furious at Huo Yuhao's act of turning the tables.
Wang Yan snorted coldly, interrupting Dai Huabin.
"I don't object to using your performance evaluation scores as a bet to motivate each other. However, this bet is absolutely unacceptable. Don't you think about yourselves? Don't you consider your families? What future do you have with a broken leg? I will be the witness for this bet. Whoever loses must bow down and apologize to the other, saying 'I was wrong.'"
"A bow won't do, it's too light. They need to kowtow and admit their mistakes." Zhu Lu had suffered so much because of the freshman assessment, how could she let Huo Yuhao off so easily?
Before Wang Yan could speak up to stop them, Wang Dong interrupted, "Fine, you said it yourself. If we lose, we'll kowtow and admit our mistake. But what if you lose?"
Dai Huabin, whose momentum had been suppressed by Wang Yan, was already feeling resentful. At this moment, he was unwilling to back down: "We will also kowtow and admit our mistakes."
"It's a deal." Huo Yuhao raised his hand and gave Dai Huabin three high-fives. The bet was now settled, and it was too late for Wang Yan to change it.
Let's open the settings, skip the boring meeting of the first period, and turn the clock to the afternoon's grade-level assessment.
The Beast Fighting Area is the largest exclusive area of Shrek Academy and also the largest building in the academy. Its area is as large as all the teaching buildings and dormitories of the Martial Soul Department plus Shrek Square.
The Beast Fighting Area is mainly divided into two parts. One part is inaccessible to the students and is a place specifically for raising soul beasts, known as the Beast Enclosure.
The other part is the Colosseum, which is also the venue for the grade-level assessments.
After Huo Yuhao received his form, he originally intended to queue up normally, but then he suddenly remembered that the original story was about getting angry with Dai Huabin, so he turned around and walked towards Dai Huabin.
Wang Dong was stunned for a moment. What was Yuhao going to do? Why was he being so impulsive? But he and Xiao Xiao still hurriedly followed.
Dai Huabin had been paying attention to them, so he naturally saw Huo Yuhao when he suddenly walked over and stared at him coldly without showing any weakness.
While everyone else was patiently queuing, Huo Yuhao's unusual behavior immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Huo Yuhao stopped about three meters away from Dai Huabin and said in a deep voice, "Dai Huabin, our bet ends today. Let me confirm one more time: do you have any regrets?"
Is this some kind of nonsense? The betting game is about to start and suddenly you're asking me if I regret it.
Despite his doubts, Dai Huabin said coldly, "I, Dai Huabin, never go back on my word. Today, the scores of the three of us from both sides will be added together. Whichever side has the lower score will have to kowtow and admit their mistake."
Huo Yuhao nodded, then took out a megaphone, a byproduct of his research on chainsaws.
Huo Yuhao has basically researched the applications of electricity. With a little time, he can basically make other electronic products by hand, except for high-tech products like mobile phones.
Of course, that's beside the point. At this moment, Huo Yuhao took out his megaphone and shouted, "Everyone, look at me! I have something to announce!"
The loud sound covered the entire arena, immediately attracting the attention of everyone with normal hearing.
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao turned on the recording function on the loudspeaker and played Dai Huabin's previous words three times in a loop.
"I apologize for disturbing everyone, but I would like to ask you all to be our witnesses. The bet is today, isn't it, Dai Huabin?"
This guy! Does he think he's got it all figured out?!
Dai Huabin's heart skipped a beat, sensing something was wrong. However, under everyone's gaze, he couldn't change his mind and could only grit his teeth and say, "That's right."
"The assessment is over. I'll wait for you here." Huo Yuhao said again into the loudspeaker before returning to the group with a cold smile.
After all this commotion, most people will come to join in the fun after their assessments are over, and that'll be interesting.
Looking at Huo Yuhao's retreating figure, Dai Huabin's face became even more gloomy and unpleasant.
Huo Yuhao deliberately said these words in front of so many people so that all the second-year students would know about their bet.
Whoever loses will undoubtedly never be able to hold their head high among the trainees again.
Dai Huabin was confident that he had made a lot of progress in the past year, but why did Huo Yuhao, this good-for-nothing, think he could beat him!
