Reborn as Huo Yuhao, but also in Battle Through the Heavens

Chapter 85 Post-War Review

Chapter 85 Post-War Review

After his sparring session with Hu Qian came to an end, Huo Yuhao, holding the appointment scroll, walked back to the dormitory area with a blank expression.

As he passed the familiar little pond in front of the dormitory building, Zi Guang habitually glanced at the warning sign. The sign had been updated. This time, it no longer featured a fishing net, but was much simpler and clearer:

A silly-looking carp with a conspicuous red fork on its exterior.

Huo Yuhao's lips twitched almost imperceptibly. Why was the person in charge of this aspect of the academy so lazy that they didn't even bother to put in the effort to write these few words?

Huo Yuhao's gaze fell upon the pond. Sure enough, the figure of that "slacking-off senior" was still there. He stood beside the pond, casting a fishing net in the water. It was as if the new sign had nothing to do with him.

"Senior, isn't fishing prohibited here?" Huo Yuhao asked the same question again.

"Hey—you've misunderstood again!" The slacker senior didn't even turn around, still dressed the same as before, his voice still smug: "This sign means carp are prohibited in the pond," so I'm responding to the academy's call to ensure that no carp escapes here!

"Is that so?" Huo Yuhao was speechless.

"Of course! The academy must be doing this to train us!"

The same dialogue, the same scene, and the same carp appearing on the lake.

Of course, with the same shout of "Now!", the slacking senior disappeared into the water once again.

Huo Yuhao used his Qi control technique again to pull him and his fish out.

"Hey, thanks bro, I'll share a grilled fish with you later!"

When the slacker looked up, Huo Yuhao was already gone.

Without exchanging any more words with the senior who was slacking off, Huo Yuhao headed straight for the dormitory entrance. As soon as he got closer, he saw the senior who had been disturbing the peace with his flute playing now holding a large bouquet of vibrant flowers, leaning against the wall next to the dormitory entrance, his eyes occasionally drifting towards the girls' dormitory, as if he was waiting for someone.

Huo Yuhao had no interest in this and walked into the boys' dormitory without looking at them.

Just then, one of the flute-playing senior's best friends nudged him with his elbow, lowering his voice with a mischievous grin: "Hey! Look! Isn't that the blue-haired girl you've been talking about all the time? 'She' actually in the boys' dorm? Does she have a boyfriend?"

The senior student who plays the flute didn't even turn his head, his tone filled with absolute certainty and impatience: "What a joke! How could she possibly be in the boys' dormitory? Don't spread rumors!"

Huo Yuhao didn't pause at all, as if he hadn't heard the whispers behind him, and his figure quickly disappeared at the entrance of the dormitory building.

Back in his room, Huo Yuhao changed out of his sweat-soaked school uniform, washed it, and hung it to dry.

After changing into casual clothes, Huo Yuhao sat down at his desk and began to review his encounter with Vice Dean Hu Qian that day.

The vice-dean truly lived up to his reputation as a peak Dou Huang; his strength far surpassed his own. Aside from unleashing his full power when he withstood his final blow, the opponent clearly held his own throughout the entire battle, never even revealing the signature technique of "controlling the energy of heaven and earth" characteristic of Dou Wang and above powerhouses. The whole fight felt more like a training session, guiding him to showcase his abilities.

Although this "Dragon and Phoenix Guiding" sword technique is extremely exquisite and has the ability to dismantle energy bodies, it is limited by one's own battle qi cultivation.

Currently, my limit is probably only enough to barely handle attacks from someone who has just entered the Dou Huang realm. If the opponent is any stronger, even if I can still break through their defenses, my reaction speed won't be able to keep up.

While the "Ice Extreme Unparalleled" technique is powerful in its normal state, its effectiveness in combat is comparable to that of swordsmanship. When unleashed at full power, it is already at its limit to break through the defensive techniques of high-level Dou Wang.

"Emperor's Palm - Great Cold Without Snow" has the limitation of hitting the target's main body, but when combined with Ice Explosion Technique, it should be able to severely injure some unprepared early-stage Battle Emperors.

As for prolonged combat—Huo Yuhao frowned slightly as he looked inward at the "Zhou Tian Jue" surging within his body, operating far beyond the capabilities of ordinary high-level Xuan-rank techniques. While the technique's recovery speed was certainly sufficient, and it could be endlessly replenished, Huo Yuhao's advantage would be greatly diminished if he faced a Dou Wang or even stronger enemy who deliberately contested, blocked, or even disrupted the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy). He might not even be able to match the endurance of some mid-to-low-level Dou Wangs.

After summarizing his abilities, Huo Yuhao concluded that his current strength in the Dou Qi Continent was roughly equivalent to a mid-to-high-level Dou Wang. If placed in the Douluo Continent, this combat power would be roughly equivalent to a Super Douluo.

As night deepened, the Canaan Night Market was brightly lit and bustling with activity. Huo Yuhao and Little Fairy Doctor sat in front of a barbecue stall, enjoying a rare moment of relaxation. The aroma of grilled meat mingled with the scents of various snacks, filling the air.

Suddenly, a piercing hum of electricity rang out from the amplified magic cores hanging throughout the academy. Immediately afterward, a male voice, tinged with obvious tension yet unusually high-pitched, resounded throughout the entire academy: "Dear cultivation instructors and classmates, good evening! I am Li Ziming from Class 6 of the third-year Xuan Rank!"

The reason I'm taking up everyone's time is to announce something: To the girl with the blue hair in the girls' dormitory, I—I've liked you for a long time! Ever since I saw you and that purple-haired girl downstairs—"

This sudden public confession silenced the bustling night market for a moment, before erupting into even louder chatter and whistles. Little Fairy Doctor covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes wide with astonishment.

"Brother Yuhao! Someone confessed their love to you!" Little Fairy Doctor waved a barbecue skewer in front of Huo Yuhao's stunned eyes, and a few drops of oil splashed onto his face.

"Damn, that's really brave! Hey! Old Lin, this Li—Ziming, doesn't he sound familiar?" Yan Hao put down his lamb leg in front of a campfire on the back mountain and asked Lin Xiuya across the fire.

Lin Xiuya put down the fire tongs and recalled for a moment: "Oh, it's that girl who likes Han Yue. She came to our class to confess her love before and got kicked out."

"So he's already fallen for someone else?" Yan Hao picked up the lamb leg again, tore off a bite, and mumbled between chews, "Who does he like this time?"

"I don't know." Lin Xiuya shook his head. "But I do know that the academy is about to introduce new school regulations."

The broadcast had barely lasted a few seconds when it was abruptly interrupted by another furious shout: "Li Ziming! You bastard! This is the academy radio station! Not a place for you to go crazy! Get out of here!"

"Stop! Stop!" Li Ziming's voice still echoed throughout the campus via the loudspeaker: "I'm bravely pursuing my love, and the academy hasn't forbidden it! You blue-haired girl, if you also have feelings for me, let's meet by the central lake!"

"Hey, I remember the one with blue hair—" Suddenly, a cheeky voice rang out on the radio: "Wasn't it reported in the Canaan Times? Actually, it was a—"

The word "pervert" seems about to slip out!

Huo Yuhao's face darkened. Canaan Times? Radio station? Pervert? These words combined instantly reminded him of some unpleasant rumors spread by the Canaan Times.

Without the slightest hesitation, Huo Yuhao's powerful mental energy instantly locked onto the location of the broadcasting station. He didn't move, but an invisible yet incredibly powerful mental wave, spanning a vast distance, silently crashed into the small space of the broadcasting station!

Soul Blast!

The heated argument inside the radio station abruptly ceased. Only a reassuring silence remained on the radio.
