Huo Yuhao's Terror

Huo Yuhao said, "Wang Dong has always thought highly of himself. I hate people like that the most. Wang Jie, who shares a dorm with him, was severely taught a lesson by Wang Dong just for changing clothes in the room. If someone like that had met me back then, I would have kicked him out the door just like Dai Huabin."

Zhou Yi couldn't help but shake her head upon hearing this. "The New Student Assessment is crucial. Among this batch of new students, several have already broken through to Soul Elder. Your old rival Dai Huabin has the highest cultivation level among them."

Huo Yuhao looked at Zhou Yi and said, "Dai Huabin is nothing to fear. But Teacher Zhou, could you make a slight change to my group assignment?"

Zhou Yi refused, "Huo Yuhao, don't think that just because you usually perform well and we have a good relationship, you can come asking me to pull strings for you."

"No, what if I told you I have a second spirit?"

Huo Yuhao's words made Zhou Yi pause briefly, then she looked at him with considerable shock. "You... you have Twin Martial Souls!"

To think that among the entire new student body, not a single one possessed Twin Martial Souls. And Huo Yuhao's words left Zhou Yi greatly shocked.

"My second spirit, the Ice Jade Scorpion, possesses the Extreme Ice Attribute. I plan to use it as a secret weapon in this New Student Assessment. I've got first place in this year's assessment locked down!"

"Ultimate Attribute!" Zhou Yi sucked in a breath of cold air, looking at Huo Yuhao with unprecedented fervor. The Extreme Ice Attribute had never appeared in the academy's history.

And once an Ultimate Attribute soul master cultivates to Titled Douluo, the combat power they truly unleash is something ordinary Titled Douluo cannot compare to.

"Tell me, who do you want to be grouped with?" Zhou Yi asked directly without any hesitation.

If faced with a choice between Wang Dong, who usually performed outstandingly, and Huo Yuhao, who performed even better with the Extreme Ice Attribute, Zhou Yi would unhesitatingly choose the latter.

Huo Yuhao said, "Xiao Xiao and Song Hanqing."

Zhou Yi nodded slightly after hearing this. "Xiao Xiao's spirit, the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron, is a decent support type. As for Song Hanqing, I originally planned to send him to the Soul Tool System. But since you've brought it up, I believe with your strength, entering the top one hundred and fifty groups is no problem at all."

"Teacher Zhou, please keep the secret that my second spirit is Extreme Ice. I want to surprise everyone."

Especially Dai Huabin.

Zhou Yi nodded. "Alright, this is the last time."

That afternoon, the group assignments for New Student Class One were released.

Wang Dong frowned slightly as he looked at his group. His teammates were Wang Jie, who shared his dorm, and Tang Yi from the next dorm over. A team of three Soul Grand Masters—this lineup made up a large portion of this year's New Student Assessment.

Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief. Soon after, Xiao Xiao and Song Qingqing came looking for him.

"Class Monitor Huo! I never thought I'd get the chance to fight alongside you. This Humble One is Song Hanqing. Please do take care of me." Song Hanqing was small and thin, his spirit was an Egg—a proper Food System spirit.

"Class Monitor, my name is Xiao Xiao. I'm very happy to fight together with you." Xiao Xiao had a bit of a loli look about her, her youthful face not yet fully matured, and she only reached up to Huo Yuhao's chest.

Huo Yuhao had met He Caitou before. That giant over two meters tall and the little Xiao Xiao in front of him would one day become a couple? A wild man and a little dwarf?

Huo Yuhao inexplicably came up with such an absurd thought and shook his head to cast it aside.

"Xiao Xiao, Han Qing, we've been classmates for three months now and know each other quite well. The New Student Assessment starts tomorrow afternoon. I won't ask you to do anything extraordinary, but there's one thing—our goal from start to finish is only one: first place in the New Student Assessment!"

If anyone else had said this, they would probably be laughed at, because it was unrealistic. After all, no one who entered Shrek Academy was a pushover.

But since Huo Yuhao had established his reputation as the top new student after his fight with Xu Sanshi, saying such bold words filled Xiao Xiao and Song Hanqing with confidence.

The other New Student Class One students present cast envious glances at Xiao Xiao and Song Hanqing, but Wang Dong curled his lip. "Lucky bastards!"

The Assessment Area was set up in the north-central part of the Martial Soul System, covering an area of twenty thousand square meters. To ensure the smooth progress of the New Student Assessment, the oval-shaped assessment area was divided into fifty zones by partitions.

Each zone covered four hundred square meters, which was sufficient for new students ranging from the highest at three rings to the lowest at two rings. The academy also dispatched fifty teachers to register the assessments and serve as referees.

This year's new students were divided into three hundred and sixteen groups, totaling nine hundred and forty-eight people. Of these, only the top one hundred and fifty groups—four hundred and fifty people—would ultimately remain. A survival rate of less than fifty percent truly made the new students nervous.

At noon, Huo Yuhao treated Xiao Xiao and Song Hanqing to the top-tier meal set in the mess hall. With Qian Renxue, a rich woman, around, Huo Yuhao never had to worry about money. Not long ago, Qian Renxue had Snake Lance Douluo, who lived in Shrek City, take some money to cash in.

Gold Soul Coins from ten thousand years ago were genuine antiques. Collectors who liked that sort of thing were not few, and their value had increased more than tenfold.

After lunch, the three of them discussed some competition procedures, and soon after, they heard a broadcast.

"Attention all new students. Attention all new students. The New Student Assessment is about to begin. Please gather at the Assessment Area. Anyone who is late after ten minutes will be considered to have forfeited."

Huo Yuhao, Xiao Xiao, and Song Hanqing shot to their feet. They had been waiting in the woods on the outskirts of the Assessment Area, and upon hearing the broadcast, they immediately entered.

Following their previously assigned groups, Huo Yuhao's trio was assigned to District 33. There, a middle-aged man who looked about forty years old had been waiting for some time. The man appeared extremely ordinary, always wearing a cheerful expression.

"Hello everyone, my name is Wang Yan. I am your assessment teacher. There are six groups total participating in the assessment here. Now that everyone has arrived..."

"Hello, Teacher Wang Yan!" Everyone bowed to Wang Yan.

"No need to be so polite. My teaching philosophy is to treat everyone as friends. Don't put too much psychological burden on yourselves during the competition. I also don't want anyone to get hurt because of it. This is an assessment, not a death match between enemies. If I find anyone deliberately causing injury to a student, I will report it to the academy for serious disciplinary action."

Everyone nodded in agreement. The New Student Assessment was on a large scale, and every teacher assigned to oversee it was, without exception, an outstanding individual.

Wang Yan nodded slightly. "Alright then, let the assessment begin. You little fellows are full of energy, especially at this age."

Wang Yan opened a folder, looked up at everyone, and said, "First round, first match: New Student Class One—Huo Yuhao, Xiao Xiao, Song Hanqing—versus New Student Class Two—Chu Qiuchi, Han Leng, Yang Zhan."
