Chapter 326 - 23

Chapter 23: A New Bet, Another Soul Bone and Three Million Gold Soul CoinsWhen announcing the decision, Yan Shaozhe's gaze never left Huo Yuhao, who was in the center of the arena. His refined face was filled with probing and an incredulous interest."During last year's freshman assessment, his Spirit was clearly the mental-type Spirit Eye, but the pure and terrifying aura of Ultimate Ice just now could never belong to the Spirit Eye! Could he be… a twin spirits user?" The moment this thought emerged, even a powerful individual like Yan Shaozhe felt a shock in his heart.A twin spirits user was a peerless genius, rarely seen in a century. Not to mention that his second Spirit might possess an ultimate attribute. If that were truly the case, Huo Yuhao's value would be immeasurable!The assessment was paused, and the students discussed as they retreated. Huo Yuhao, accompanied by Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, proudly walked directly in front of Dai Huabin, whose face was ashen."Dai Huabin," Huo Yuhao's voice, though not loud, was exceptionally clear, "according to our bet, only I completed the assessment and achieved a score today. You, on the other hand, have no score. Therefore, I won. Fulfill your promise."The students who had not yet dispersed immediately cast curious and spectating glances. Dai Huabin's face instantly turned a liver-like purple, his fists clenched, his nails almost digging into his palms.A bet made in front of everyone, especially one involving a valuable item like a Spirit Bone, if he were to renege, he would not only lose his own face but also the reputation of the entire White Tiger Dukes Mansion. This responsibility was too much for him to bear.He stared intently at Huo Yuhao, his eyes filled with venom and humiliation. Finally, he squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth, "Fine! I'll honor the bet!"He first waved his hand abruptly, and a streak of light flew out from his storage spirit tool, shooting towards Dai Youheng, who was standing nearby.Dai Youheng casually caught it; it felt slightly heavy in his hand. It was a bone radiating a faint purple glow, shaped somewhat like an ulna, and its energy fluctuations were far less than the 30,000-year Spirit Bone he held."A thousand-year Spirit Bone? And it's also a left arm bone?" Dai Youheng immediately frowned. This Dai Huabin was indeed petty and calculating.The Spirit Bone he gave was not only far inferior in quality to the 30,000-year Spirit Bone he had produced, but he also deliberately chose the same left arm part, clearly indicating that he did not want him to have the opportunity to absorb two Spirit Bones simultaneously and maximize his benefits.At this moment, an even more breathtaking scene unfolded.Dai Huabin took a deep breath, as if using all his strength, and suddenly bent his knees. With a thud, he heavily knelt before Huo Yuhao!Bang! Bang! Bang!Three solid kowtows landed on the hard stone ground, emitting dull thuds. Each kowtow was like a heavy hammer, striking Dai Huabin's self-esteem and also the hearts of all the witnesses present.The entire venue was silent, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard. The direct descendant of the White Tiger Duke actually knelt and kowtowed to an ordinary student!After kowtowing, Dai Huabin suddenly stood up, his forehead already crimson. He stared intently at Huo Yuhao, the venom in his eyes almost materializing, "Huo Yuhao, don't get cocky! You used despicable means today, an unfair victory!"He gasped for breath, his voice trembling with extreme rage, "In a few days, the assessment will restart! Do you dare to bet with me again? A fair competition, no more of these dirty tricks like today!""The stakes!" Dai Huabin almost roared, "are these two Spirit Bones, and those three kowtows!""If I win, both Spirit Bones will be returned to me, and you, Huo Yuhao, not only will you have to kowtow those three times back to me! You'll also have to shout 'I was wrong' in front of everyone!""Conversely, if you win!" He pointed at Dai Youheng, "I'll give him another Spirit Bone! Plus three million gold coins!"Three million gold coins, this price was roughly equivalent to the market price of a conventional ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone. It seemed that even Dai Huabin could not produce two Spirit Bones at present and could only substitute with money.Then, he turned to Huo Yuhao, gritting his teeth, "I will also kowtow three times to you! And also shout 'I was wrong'!"Huo Yuhao's expression remained calm upon hearing this. He was full of confidence in the power he had gained. However, regarding the Spirit Bone bet, he shook his head, "I can agree to the kowtow and apology bet for myself. But the ownership of the two Spirit Bones now belongs to Youheng, and I cannot make decisions for him."Instantly, everyone's gaze focused on Dai Youheng.Dai Youheng chuckled inwardly. He naturally knew that according to the original plot, Huo Yuhao would still win the upcoming assessment, and he would win even more spectacularly!This was simply delivering another Spirit Bone and a huge sum of money into his hands! How could he refuse such a good deal, getting something for nothing?A seemingly gentle smile, full of support for his younger brother, appeared on his face. He stepped forward, patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder, then looked at Dai Huabin, his tone relaxed yet firm, "I naturally support Yuhao unconditionally. If Yuhao is willing to bet with you, I will agree to add these two Spirit Bones as stakes.""Youheng, thank you!" Huo Yuhao was instantly moved, looking at Dai Youheng with eyes full of trust and gratitude.In his heart, this older brother had stood by him again and again, even going so far as to use his precious property to support him. This bond was too profound.Even Wang Dong, who had previously had some reservations about Dai Youheng, now softened her expression considerably. She pouted and said, "Hmph, seeing as you've supported Yuhao repeatedly, I, the great one, will reluctantly forgive you for not bringing breakfast earlier."However, Dai Huabin looked at Dai Youheng's hypocritical smile and listened to his disloyal words, and the anger in his chest almost exploded. He stared intently at Dai Youheng, his eyes icy cold, filled with undisguised warning and disgust."Dai Youheng, you traitor! Good, good, good! You just keep fawning over this Huo Yuhao! You will definitely regret it. We, the Dai Family, have no place for someone like you who can't distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate, or right and wrong!"Facing Dai Huabin's insults and threats, the smile on Dai Youheng's face did not change in the slightest, as if he hadn't heard anything at all.Ultimately, he was not a member of the Dai Family. The original individual was the one born from a concubine of the Dai Family.As for him, he was thrown over by some unknown unscrupulous entity, directly tearing through space, and had no blood relation to the White Tiger Dai Family whatsoever.This farce finally ended when Yan Shaozhe sent someone over.Yan Shaozhe asked Huo Yuhao to meet him in the Dean's office.Previously, he had thought Huo Yuhao had little potential, so he hadn't given him a core disciple position in the Spirit Department, even letting him become a core disciple of the Soul Tool Department. Now, discovering that he might be a twin spirits user and possess ultimate attributes,He would definitely have to find a way to get him back into the Spirit Department.
