He had inquired in advance and found out that Shrek Academy's rules were quite lax.
In order to encourage students to express their individuality, the academy did not prohibit fights between students. In fact, after the second year, there were even rewards for such behavior.
Since the academy deliberately allowed this, there were naturally very few rules governing these fights.
One: No killing.
Two: Upperclassmen cannot bully underclassmen.
Other than that, anything goes.
As Tang San walked in with the basin, Dai Huabin silently began counting down in his head, recalling how Tang San had used only his first soul skill to block his White Tiger Fierce Light Wave just the other day.
Feeling that this wasn't enough, he suddenly took out a delicate small wooden box from his storage space.
After opening it, he looked at the blood-red pill in the center of the box, and a trace of hesitation flickered in Dai Huabin's eyes.
This pill was given to him by his mother, and there were only three in total. It could temporarily boost the user's cultivation for a short time.
The reason she gave it to him was so that if he ever encountered Huo Yuhao, he could personally defeat him and rid himself of that nightmare.
Pills like this, which temporarily boosted cultivation, typically had strong side effects. Although this one was of better quality than most, it would still hinder his cultivation speed for quite some time afterward.
Should I use it on this guy?
Images of Tang San's hateful face from the other day flashed through his mind, and as the countdown in his head reached its expected time, a trace of brutality flashed in Dai Huabin's eyes.
"Whatever, I have three pills. I'll start with you!"
With that, he shoved the pill into his mouth and charged into the shower room.
After finishing his cleaning duties, Huo Yuhao, looking at the newly refreshed dorm room, was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard a muffled sound from outside the door. The noise sounded like someone was fighting, with fists hitting flesh.
What's going on? Who's fighting?
Just as this thought crossed his mind, a shout erupted from outside the door.
"Holy crap! Everyone, come quick! There's a naked guy fighting in the bathhouse!"
"Seriously!?"
"…?"
What the heck?
Huo Yuhao froze, listening to the commotion outside. His mind was momentarily unable to process what was happening.
Carefully, he peeked out from the dormitory door, looking towards the end of the hallway where the bathroom was, only to see a crowd of onlookers, eyes wide in shock. Every so often, someone would gasp in surprise.
Driven by curiosity, Huo Yuhao activated his spiritual detection, and the scene in the shower room immediately played out vividly in his mind.
One was a fully-clothed, white-furred boy with dual pupils. The other was a completely naked youth, water droplets still clinging to his body, whose martial spirit seemed to be Blue Silver Grass.
Unfortunately, he recognized both of them.
The fully-clothed one was Dai Huabin.
The other, completely naked, with his privates swinging wildly, was the boy from Heaven Dou City whom he had met a few times—the one he suspected was the reincarnated Tang San.
Bang!
The veins in Dai Huabin's neck bulged as he roared angrily. The web of Blue Silver Grass binding him shattered with a snap, and then a powerful tiger paw shot toward the naked Tang San in front of him.
Tang San's pupils contracted sharply at the sight. He hadn't expected Dai Huabin's strength to increase so much in just two days.
This wasn't normal at all.
Startled, Tang San barely managed to block the attack using his Mysterious Jade Hand, but his body was sent flying uncontrollably. Internally, his blood and energy churned violently from the impact.
Forcing down the metallic taste of blood rising in his throat, Tang San's face twisted in fury as he shouted at Dai Huabin.
"Dai Huabin, I didn't expect you to be so despicable!"
Dai Huabin sneered in response. "You didn't think I was despicable when you ambushed me two days ago, did you?"
With that, he advanced once more, his tiger claws whipping through the air as he attacked, giving Tang San no chance to catch his breath.
To be fair, Dai Huabin's timing was impeccable.
As expected, Tang San, who was showering, didn't have his hidden weapons on him. And because the shower room was so small, he couldn't even use his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.
Moreover, with the help of that pill, Tang San's three Blue Silver Grass soul skills were rendered ineffective against Dai Huabin's overwhelming strength.
After several exchanges, blood began to trickle from the corners of Tang San's mouth.
I can't keep this up!
Tang San was left with two options: either summon his Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit, or return to the dormitory to retrieve his hidden weapons.
After a brief moment of thought, he made his decision.
He would retrieve his hidden weapons.
Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record had a cardinal rule: never let anyone you cannot fully trust know the full extent of your abilities.
As a disciple of the Tang Sect, Tang San had always adhered strictly to this rule. There was no way he would reveal his trump card, the Clear Sky Hammer, in front of so many onlookers.
In his previous life, when he killed the Datura Snake, he had used hidden weapons in front of Grandmaster, which led him to kill Grandmaster to silence him, even though he had become his teacher.
Now, even if he won, he wouldn't be able to kill Dai Huabin. Exposing his Clear Sky Hammer in front of the crowd was simply not a wise move.
Since his hidden weapons had already been exposed, the best choice was to use them to defeat Dai Huabin.
Having made up his mind, Tang San no longer hesitated. Grabbing a towel to cover his important parts, he turned and dashed toward the shower room exit.
Seeing Tang San's privates swinging wildly beneath the towel as he ran toward them, the onlookers at the door were in utter shock.
"Holy crap! Don't come any closer!!!"
It was hard to describe how big the mental impact of this scene was, the sheer psychological trauma it inflicted on their innocent hearts.
After a brief stunned silence, the once cheerful boys, now witnessing the darker side of life for the first time, let out startled yells and retreated in terror as if they had seen a plague god.
"Trying to escape!?"
Realizing Tang San's intentions, Dai Huabin roared in anger.
But before he could chase after him, Tang San shot several strands of Blue Silver Grass from his palm, grabbing other people's shower gels and soaps and hurling them at Dai Huabin.
However, how could these items have any effect on the drug-enhanced Dai Huabin? Without hesitation, he activated his second soul skill.
White Tiger Fierce Light Wave!
