11: Chapter 11 Duel! The Goddess of Light Butterfly Makes Her Appearance

Hearing this, Su Chen rubbed his nose somewhat helplessly.

"Oh, please stop teasing me. I'm still just a child."

"Haha..."

Mu En chuckled softly and didn't continue the topic.

Su Chen sized up the surroundings curiously, then looked at Mu En lying in the chair.

"Teacher, why did you come here? Is the Sea Gods Pavilion being left unattended?"

Mu En didn't answer immediately. He shifted his gaze from Su Chen to the vibrant young students passing by not far away.

His eyes became somewhat distant.

"When one gets old, one likes to watch these young people."

Mu En's voice carried the weight of years of experience.

"Watching them makes me feel like the whole academy is full of vitality, unlike the Sea Gods Pavilion, which is just a bunch of old fogies, lifeless."

"Being here, I feel like these old bones of mine can live a few years longer."

Just as he finished speaking.

A series of hurried footsteps came from the stairs of the dormitory building.

Da-da-da...

The sound approached from a distance, sounding quite frantic.

Su Chen and Mu En turned their heads to look at the same time.

They saw a youth and... well, another person who was also a youth, rushing down one after the other.

The youth in front had a resolute face, with a streak of unyielding spirit in his eyes.

The one following behind had short pinkish-blue hair and a pair of peach blossom eyes, looking even prettier than a girl.

Both of them carried faint ripples of Soul Power, their eyes filled with fighting spirit and a strong scent of gunpowder.

These two were none other than Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.

"Yuhao?"

Su Chen called out tentatively.

Huo Yuhao, who was angrily preparing for a fight, paused his steps and turned his head.

When he saw Su Chen under the shade of the trees nearby, a look of pleasant surprise instantly appeared on his face.

"Brother Su Chen!"

He walked over quickly. "Why are you here?"

"I came to check out the dorms," Su Chen smiled, then gestured with his chin toward the person behind him. "But what about you? What's going on? You look so angry, are you going to fight someone?"

At the mention of this, a trace of indignation surfaced on Huo Yuhao's face.

He quickly explained the whole sequence of events.

It was nothing more than a conflict over the dormitory rules for freshmen; he and his roommate named Wang Dong had a disagreement where neither would yield, eventually agreeing to settle it in the Soul Dueling Area.

After hearing this, Su Chen understood everything in his heart.

Good grief, isn't this the scene of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's first meeting from the original story?

The plot was exactly the same.

"Just for this little thing?"

Su Chen raised an eyebrow, wearing an expression of someone who enjoyed watching the chaos.

"He's a grown man, yet he set so many ridiculous rules for you? That's way too petty."

Su Chen patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder and spoke with righteous indignation.

"Go, you must go! Give him a good lesson!"

"Go ahead and do it, I've got your back. If he tries to play dirty, I'll help you take him down!"

With Su Chen's encouragement, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt much more confident.

"Okay! Thanks, Brother!"

He nodded heavily, his gaze becoming firm again as he turned and walked toward the Soul Dueling Area.

"Let's go, one-on-one!"

"Hmph, as if I'd be afraid of you!"

A flicker of doubt flashed in Wang Dong's beautiful eyes. Where did this guy get his confidence from?

But she didn't think much of it, gave a cold snort, and followed.

Watching Huo Yuhao's departing back, a hint of curiosity flashed in Mu En's dim eyes as he lay on the reclining chair.

"Xiao Chen, this child is..."

Su Chen snapped back to his senses and explained with a smile:

"Teacher, his name is Huo Yuhao."

"He's the child I met in the Star Dou Great Forest before; I mentioned him to you at the time."

Mu En showed a thoughtful expression.

Su Chen continued, "His Spirit is very special—it's a spiritual attribute Body Martial Soul, the Spirit Eyes."

"I felt back then that this child had good talent and a good temperament; he's a diamond in the rough."

"I was thinking that once he enrolls, I'd recommend him to the Soul Tool Department to have a look. He might have unexpected gains there."

"Come on, Teacher, let's go watch the fun too."

Su Chen pushed Mu En's reclining chair and followed leisurely.

...

Freshman Soul Dueling Area.

A lot of students had already gathered around to watch the excitement.

In the center of the field, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong stood facing each other, ten meters apart.

In the depths of Huo Yuhao's eyes, a faint golden light flashed and vanished.

Spiritual Detection, already activated.

Opposite him, Wang Dong's aura was fully unleashed.

"Hmph!"

With a soft cry, a brilliant light suddenly lit up from behind Wang Dong.

A pair of huge and magnificent wings slowly unfurled behind her.

The primary color of the wings was blue, but the edges were adorned with golden patterns, thin as a cicada's wing and dazzlingly bright.

With the appearance of the wings, a sacred and noble aura instantly permeated the air.

"Is that... the Light Goddess Butterfly?!"

Outside the crowd, Su Chen couldn't help but whisper.

Although he had known the plot for a long time, he was still stunned when he personally saw the Spirit hailed as the most beautiful in Douluo Continent.

This level of beauty was simply heaven-defying.

"Oh? Xiao Chen, you recognize this Spirit?"

On the reclining chair, Mu En glanced at Su Chen, his tone flat.

"Cough, I saw it in an ancient book."

Su Chen coughed dryly and explained without changing his expression.

"The book said it's one of the top Beast Spirits, very rare."

In times like this, blaming an ancient book was the way to go.

Mu En gave an "En" and said leisurely, "This child was entrusted here by the Clear Sky Sect."

Su Chen's heart stirred.

The Clear Sky Sect, that was Tang San's sect.

It seemed the academy's higher-ups knew about Wang Dong's identity.

While the two were talking, the battle on the field had already begun.

Wang Dong was the first to strike.

The Light Goddess Butterfly wings behind her flapped gently, and the golden patterns on the wings suddenly lit up.

Swoosh—swoosh—swoosh!

Dozens of light blades condensed from Soul Power appeared out of thin air, whistling as they slashed toward Huo Yuhao like sharp arrows.

Facing this dense attack, Huo Yuhao remained exceptionally calm.

Tang Sect Secret Art—Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!

His footsteps shifted, and his figure flickered like a ghost within a tiny range.

Those seemingly unavoidable light blades were actually dodged by him one by one, narrowly escaping each time.

"Not bad, Yuhao."

Su Chen's eyes lit up.

It seemed that after parting in the Star Dou Great Forest, this kid hadn't slacked off for a moment; his progress was truly significant.

On the field, Huo Yuhao's situation was not optimistic.

Wang Dong's Light Goddess Butterfly Spirit, whether in terms of Soul Power level or Spirit quality, clearly suppressed him.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao was about to be submerged by another round of light blades, the golden light in his eyes suddenly surged.

Soul Skill—Spiritual Shock!

This was the soul skill bestowed upon him by the Heavenly Dream Iceworm.

Invisible spiritual power slammed hard into Wang Dong's mind.

Wang Dong's delicate body trembled, feeling as if her head had been pricked by a needle, and her offensive instantly stalled.

Good chance!

Now!

Huo Yuhao seized this split-second opportunity, pushing his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track footwork to the limit.
