Chapter 16: Huo Yuhao's Suffering

"Ah!"

The opponents' three members were knocked out of the arena, and Wang Dong gracefully landed.

"Stop showing off," Huo Yuhao yawned in boredom. They had five matches today and had finished them all, winning every single one with overwhelming ease. Their imposing presence alone had crushed the competition, as all three of their opponents were Grandmasters, making their victory inevitable.

Huo Yuhao hadn't moved at all during the five matches. They had agreed that Wang Dong would handle all the battles today.

"Yeah, look at you. I could've handled them alone," Wang Dong boasted, looking smug. Xiao Xiao couldn't help but sneer at his arrogance.

"Yuhao, control your little girlfriend," Wang Dong said slyly, having learned to avoid Xiao Xiao's taunts, directing his sarcasm at Huo Yuhao instead.

"Who's his little girlfriend?" Xiao Xiao's eyes filled with killing intent. If it weren't for maintaining her image, she would've rolled up her sleeves and attacked Wang Dong.

Wang Dong enjoyed seeing Xiao Xiao's frustrated expression, smiling smugly. "Do you want to be the main one? Too bad, you probably won't make the cut."

"You... you..."

Xiao Xiao was so angry she couldn't speak. She had never met someone so shameless. Being with Huo Yuhao, they were all equally detestable. No wonder they were in the same dormitory.

"Alright, the matches are over. Let's go rest," Huo Yuhao intervened to stop their argument. He wasn't particularly interested in the freshman assessments, except for meeting that person...

Thinking of that person, Huo Yuhao's eyes filled with murderous intent. He had endured all kinds of beatings since his transmigration and had even tried to escape, but his stubborn mother still believed in the father they had never met, only to die without ever seeing him again...

Huo Yuhao wouldn't be as merciful as the original Huo Yuhao towards his enemies. He smirked coldly. He wasn't a good person; he believed in exacting revenge for survival in this world.

"Yuhao, Wang Dong, today's matches are over. I'm leaving first. Rest well, and let's do our best tomorrow," Xiao Xiao said, finding an excuse to leave, tired of arguing with Wang Dong.

"You're lucky you ran away," Wang Dong said triumphantly, watching Xiao Xiao's retreating figure. Otherwise, he would have made her cry.

"Alright, let's go too," Huo Yuhao lightly tapped the back of Wang Dong's head. He couldn't understand why girls were so competitive.

"Yeah, I fought so well today. I need a good shower," Wang Dong stretched. Although they won easily, five matches meant a lot of sweat. Being a cleanliness enthusiast, she needed to wash herself thoroughly.

**In the Dormitory.**

"Wash quickly. I'll warm the water for you first, so you don't catch a cold," Huo Yuhao said, adjusting the water temperature in the bathroom before calling Wang Dong in.

Watching Wang Dong's graceful figure, Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered.

"Why do I feel your gaze isn't quite proper? Don't peek. You're being too nice for no reason," Wang Dong warned, staring at Huo Yuhao. Was he being helpful for some ulterior motive? Had her secret as a girl been exposed? No, it shouldn't be, she had that item with her.

"How could I? We're both men. What you have, I have too. Why would I peek? It's just a simple gesture between brothers," Huo Yuhao said, coughing. He was a gentleman.

"And don't use your soul skill," Wang Dong added, her expression fierce.

"Oh, right, why didn't I think of that?" Huo Yuhao suddenly realized. Mental detection was a divine skill. He had been too innocent.

"Six!" Wang Dong regretted her words immediately. She seemed to have said something wrong.

"Remember, if I catch you, I'll fight you to the death," Wang Dong said fiercely. It was too late for regrets, so she could only warn him sternly.

"Don't worry, I won't peek. I promise," Huo Yuhao quickly assured her. Otherwise, she wouldn't let him off easily.

Wang Dong ignored him and walked into the bathroom. Not taking a shower wasn't an option. Although Huo Yuhao could be shameless sometimes, he seemed like a good person who kept his promises.

"Ah!"

As soon as Wang Dong took off her coat, she screamed.

"What happened?!" Huo Yuhao rushed in, worried that something had happened.

"You... you..."

Wang Dong pointed at Huo Yuhao, too angry to speak. Her clothes had gotten caught on the bathroom door, and when she opened it, they were torn off, exposing her perfect back.

"Just change your clothes. No need to make a fuss," Huo Yuhao said nonchalantly, though he couldn't take his eyes off her, especially her beautiful legs.

As a gentleman, he shouldn't be peeking, right?

Wang Dong summoned her Bright Goddess Shadow, covering her back. "Get out!" she shouted, embarrassed and furious.

"We're both men. What's there to see?" Huo Yuhao reluctantly closed the door, jumping onto his bed.

"It's over. I'm not clean anymore," Wang Dong muttered in the bathroom, holding her face in shame. He had seen everything.

"Wang Dong, stay calm!" she told herself, taking a deep breath.

"He doesn't know you're a girl. It was unintentional; the crime doesn't warrant death. He is stronger than you; you must surpass him and make him pay."

Wang Dong kept reassuring herself, setting a goal to one day defeat Huo Yuhao, put a chain around his neck, and trample him every day.

Feeling better with this thought, she removed her damaged clothes and turned on the shower.

Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao lay on his bed, his thoughts drifting. Wang Dong's figure was incredible, especially those legs...

No, he couldn't think like this. It was wrong.

Lost in thought, Huo Yuhao heard the sound of running water. Through the glass, he could see a faint, graceful figure, making his heart race.

"Form is emptiness, emptiness is form. She's only twelve. I'm a terrible person," Huo Yuhao scolded himself, blaming the system.

[System: 6666]

Great, now the system was mocking him. Blaming the system for everything, Huo Yuhao thought of Ma Xiaotao. The scene between them played vividly in his mind. Although his martial soul had changed to the Holy Light Spirit King, the abilities of his Spirit Eyes were still preserved, making recent memories exceptionally clear.

"I'm a horrible person, thinking of another woman while looking at Wang Dong."
