The assessment teacher for District 33, Wang Yan, was nearly driven mad with frustration.

They had already fought five matches. Aside from the first one, Jiang Yuheng and Wang Dong had barely made a move, basically leaving their opponents for Huo Yuhao to deal with.

And he had lived up to everyone's expectations. In less than three minutes, he had used his own solid techniques to knock all their opponents off the stage.

As a result, Wang Yan was even more baffled and could not figure it out at all. Just what were the Martial Souls and abilities of those two?

"Jiang Yuheng, come over here with the other two." When the next day's matches ended, Wang Yan waved them over.

"Teacher Wang, do you know why you've called us here?"

Jiang Yuheng walked at the front, with Wang Dong beside him. Huo Yuhao followed unhurriedly at the back, a faint smile on his face, as if he had deliberately left the two of them alone together.

"Congratulations on your excellent record of five victories in five matches. You must continue working hard in the matches ahead and strive to enter the Ranking Tournament for the Top 64."

"However, tomorrow's five matches definitely won't be as easy as today's. Once today's matches end, the lots will be redrawn. Teams that have lost all five of their matches will be eliminated directly."

"So, when the lots are drawn, besides considering different classes so that they don't clash with each other, the results from the previous matches will also be taken into account. Your matches tomorrow will definitely still be held in District 33, but be extremely careful if you encounter opponents with the same record as you."

Jiang Yuheng bowed politely and expressed his thanks. "Thank you, Teacher Wang. We'll be careful."

Compared to Jiang Yuheng's modesty, Wang Dong waved her hand carelessly. "Don't worry, Teacher Wang. With This Lord here, punching our way through them will be a piece of cake!"

Huo Yuhao also nodded repeatedly in agreement. "That's right, Teacher Wang Yan. You really mustn't underestimate Brother Yuheng and Wang Dong. Those two haven't even used half of their strength from the start of the tournament until now."

At this, a clear flicker of surprise appeared in Wang Yan's eyes. He pushed up his glasses thoughtfully, but soon returned to smiling. "Good. As expected of our District 33's Seed Team. Keep it up!"

That confidence and that unrestrained attitude were exactly what young people should have!

"Things are finally going to get interesting. If some more challenging opponents don't show up soon, my bones are about to get rusty." On the way back to the dormitory, Wang Dong flexed her finger joints as she spoke.

Jiang Yuheng smiled. "Don't let your guard down. If we happen to run into a team of Soul Elders tomorrow, you might not be able to laugh."

Wang Dong slapped him hard on the shoulder. "Pooh, pooh, pooh! Can't you say something nice with that foul mouth of yours? What, are you hoping we'll be eliminated?"

Jiang Yuheng hurriedly waved his hands and explained, "That's not what I meant. It was just a joke. Besides, even if a team of Soul Elders comes, I believe that with you here, there won't be anything to fear."

When Wang Dong heard the words "with you here," her face reddened noticeably, and she quickly turned her head away. "Hmph, at least your judgment is decent. You finally got it right for once!"

Seeing Wang Dong's bashful appearance, the smile on Jiang Yuheng's face grew even harder to suppress. He thought to himself, My Dong'er, do you have to be this adorable?

Huo Yuhao, who had remained silent behind them, suddenly felt sourness in his mouth. He felt as if he had been force-fed a mouthful of dog food for no reason.

Early the next morning, the Three Little Ones appeared on time. They had achieved the best results in the previous five rounds, so they remained in District 33 and drew lots to regroup once again.

These New Students definitely would not be the top-ranked teams from the other districts, so they would not encounter the strongest opponents in the next five Round-Robin Tournament matches. Still, compared to before, things might not be so easy.

Wang Yan glanced meaningfully at Jiang Yuheng and Huo Yuhao before announcing, "Because Jiang Yuheng's team from Class 1 of New Students achieved the best results in the previous five rounds, they have become this district's Seed Team. According to the match order, they will be the first to compete."

Wang Yan first explained the reason, then continued, "The first match of the sixth round in District 33 will be an assessment between Jiang Yuheng's team from Class 1 of New Students and Huang Chutian's team from Class 7 of New Students."

Both sides entered the arena at the same time. Wang Dong was surprised to discover that the opposing team actually had a pair of identical female students.

Both female students had long blue hair. Their delicate faces immediately flushed when they saw Wang Dong, and they seemed to be somewhat younger than the three of them.

Twins. So cute. Though not as cute as This Lord. Wang Dong thought.

At the same time, Jiang Yuheng slightly furrowed his brows when he saw the twins. He then turned to Huo Yuhao and nodded at him.

Following his gaze, Huo Yuhao understood at once. After spending so much time together, the two of them could naturally see each other's thoughts at a glance.

What Jiang Yuheng meant was that they should deal with the twins first once the match began.

"Hello. My name is Huang Chutian, and I'm the team captain. The girls standing on either side of me are Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo. Please guide us." Huang Chutian politely introduced his team members first.

Jiang Yuheng gave a slight nod. "My name is Jiang Yuheng. The other two are my teammates, Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao."

The two sides took their positions. Jiang Yuheng's team stood as they had before, with Jiang Yuheng and Wang Dong at the front and Huo Yuhao in the rear corner, providing them with support.

Huang Chutian's team was the same, except that Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo stood at the back.

According to the rule that each team could have at most one Power Attack System Soul Master, the twin girls were clearly likely to be dual support or dual control Soul Masters, just like Jiang Yuheng's team.

Seeing that both sides were ready, Wang Yan shouted in a low voice, "The assessment begins."

Both sides swiftly released their Martial Souls. With a furious roar, Huang Chutian instantly released his Martial Soul, and two yellow Spirit Rings rose into the air.

His body then expanded dramatically, growing to around one point eight meters tall. His sturdy muscles burst through his school uniform, while the exposed skin across his body turned completely iron-black. It was as solid as a rock forming an impregnable wall.

At the same time, the twin girls behind Huang Chutian also released their Martial Souls. Unexpectedly, their Martial Souls were actually their hair, and their Spirit Rings were also ideally configured.

With a toss of their heads, the long blue hair behind them immediately flew up and rapidly unfurled in the air, transforming into blue strands more than a dozen meters long. Then, like an octopus's tentacles, they attacked the three of them.

"Wang Dong." Jiang Yuheng called out to her, raising his right hand and secretly pointing at Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo.

Seeing his little gesture, Wang Dong blinked at him in perfect understanding. The two of them flashed to either side, quickly avoiding Huang Chutian's attack as they charged straight toward the twin sisters in the rear.

"Yuhao, I'll leave Huang Chutian to you. Hold him off for a while." Jiang Yuheng did not forget to call out.

Huo Yuhao waved his hand. As Huang Chutian charged toward him, his expression did not change in the slightest. He simply took a step back and easily dodged the attack.

Under his Spirit Detection Sharing, every movement of everyone on the field was visible to all three of them. Not only could they dodge the attacks, but even Huang Chutian's astonished expression at this moment was clearly imprinted in their eyes.
