Hell White Tiger VS Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion

ps: Chapters 18 and 19 have been revised. Snow Empress becomes Huo Yuhao's second spirit.

The longsword Qian Renxue crafted was made from a rare metal called Light Gold. When combined with Qian Renxue's soul skills, it could amplify their power by a full twenty percent.

Qian Renxue looked at Xian Lin'er with burning eyes, recalling the sight of Shrek City Defense Army soldiers flying with Flying Soul Tools strapped to their backs when she entered Shrek City that day. Her heart stirred. "Teacher, I also want to learn how to make Flying Soul Tools."

Xian Lin'er looked at Qian Renxue in surprise. She was very satisfied with this disciple—not only was her talent outstanding and her martial soul divine-level on the continent, but her progress in crafting and learning soul tools had repeatedly broken records at the academy and across the entire continent's soul master community.

Xian Lin'er shook her head. "Haste makes waste. Flying Soul Tools are costly to produce, and even in the military, they're rare. With your Six Winged Angel Martial Soul, you can already fly through the air with ease. Why go to the trouble of making a Flying Soul Tool?"

"It's for my younger brother." Qian Renxue's younger brother, Huo Yuhao, had no flying soul skills and had never systematically studied soul tool crafting.

Qian Renxue had always been grateful to Huo Yuhao for bringing her to a world ten thousand years later. She had learned many new things at the academy, soul tools being one of them. But what intrigued her most was the Soul Core.

Ten thousand years later, soul masters needed to condense a Soul Core to break through to Titled Douluo—something absolutely unheard of ten thousand years ago.

Soul Cores were also divided into Isomeric Resonance and Yin Yang Complement.

The former was the path most soul masters took to advance to Titled Douluo, while the latter had never been successfully achieved by a human.

The only successful case was the Beast God Di Tian of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Xian Lin'er saw the firm determination in Qian Renxue's eyes and, at that moment, began explaining the crafting principles of Flying Soul Tools, along with the required materials.

Huo Yuhao's team's battle in the Top 32 shocked the entire academy, especially the third soul skill, Time Rewind, which was nearly indistinguishable from a "God Skill" in a certain sense.

The remaining forty-five students from the fifteen advancing teams all fell silent after learning about Huo Yuhao's abnormally powerful third soul skill.

Dai Huabin clenched his teeth, his fists tight, veins bulging on his forehead. "Huo Yuhao."

Wu Feng's eyes inadvertently met Dai Huabin's, and both felt a deep wariness toward the name "Huo Yuhao."

"Young Master, Huo Yuhao dared to harm you. Let's use the family's power to make that bastard pay!" Wu Feng's chest burned with pent-up frustration.

Ning Tian, though unwilling, shook her head. "Feng Mei, don't do anything foolish. This is Shrek Academy. No one dares to defy the world's order. I just happened to learn that the academy plans to make Huo Yuhao a key cultivation target. His entry into the Inner Courtyard is practically set in stone. Someone like that—we can't afford to provoke him. We can only befriend him."

"I understand." Wu Feng sighed. Whatever Ning Tian decided, she would obey absolutely.

That whispered exchange was overheard by Dai Huabin. Using the family's power to strangle Huo Yuhao in the cradle before he could rise—the thought crossed his mind.

Dai Huabin frowned slightly, already calculating the feasibility of this plan in his heart.

On the second day of the New Student Assessment Elimination Round, the morning would feature the Top 16, followed by the Top 4 in the afternoon.

Huo Yuhao's team successively faced Ning Tian's team and Xie Huanyue's team. Since the three major teams had already learned about each other in previous assessments, Huo Yuhao defeated them without any effort, becoming the first team to enter the Top 4.

Following that, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and Cui Yajie defeated their opponents, becoming the second team to advance to the Top 4.

Wang Dong's team became the third, while the fourth was Yang Zhan's team, which Huo Yuhao's team had previously faced, possessing the Soul Breaking Spear Martial Soul.

Thus, the Top 4 list was born.

On the third day of the New Student Assessment Elimination Round, Huo Yuhao's team, Dai Huabin's team, Wang Dong's team, and Yang Zhan's team would compete for the championship.

The draw ceremony was originally supposed to be conducted by Yan Shaozhe, but Ma Xiaotao had broken through to Soul Saint, and the master and disciple had already gone deep into the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts.

Xuan Lao finished his wine and ate the last chicken leg. For today's draw ceremony, he had specially changed into clean clothes and stood before the four teams. He nearly wiped his greasy hands on his new clothes again but glanced around to make sure no one was watching before rubbing them on his chest.

"Hello, children. My name is Xuan Zi. You can call me Xuan Lao. I am one of the elders of Shrek Academy." Xuan Zi nodded in satisfaction as he scanned the students standing below, especially Huo Yuhao. If this child developed smoothly, entering the Sea God Pavilion wasn't impossible.

"You don't need to wonder why I'm here. This old man is filling in for someone. I'm no good at motivational speeches, so let the draw decide your opponents, and let your battles determine the champion."

With that, the draw ceremony officially began. Du Weilun took the draw box, which contained four numbered balls—two number ones and two number twos.

"Huo Yuhao's team, come draw." Du Weilun looked at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao stepped forward, reached into the box, and stirred it around. In truth, he hoped to fight Dai Huabin's team. Even as a transmigrator with a dull childhood mind, his mother had never despised him.

But Dai Huabin had ordered his subordinates to whip ruthlessly, leading to tragedy. Huo Yuhao's hatred was well-hidden; he wouldn't reveal it easily when facing Dai Huabin.

"Huo Yuhao's team, Arena One." Du Weilun took the ball from Huo Yuhao and raised it above his head.

"Next, Dai Huabin's team, come draw."

Dai Huabin shot a cold glance at Huo Yuhao returning to his team, his handsome face full of chill. He strode forward, reached into the draw box without picking, and grabbed a ball at random.

In Dai Huabin's view, no matter who it was—even Huo Yuhao standing before him—he and Zhu Lu could crush them together. This year's new student championship would surely be his.

"Dai Huabin's team, Arena One." Du Weilun looked at the ball in his hand in surprise. A one-in-two chance, and it came out just like that.

Only two number-two balls remained in the box, making further drawing unnecessary.

"Please have Huo Yuhao's team and Dai Huabin's team proceed to Arena One to prepare for the assessment. Wang Dong's team and Yang Zhan's team, proceed to Arena Two to prepare."

This result was within Dai Huabin's expectations and Huo Yuhao's predictions.

"Huo Yuhao, the humiliation you brought me that day, I'll repay you tenfold this time." Dai Huabin said viciously.

"Only useless people make threats. If you've got the skill, show it in battle." Huo Yuhao didn't take Dai Huabin seriously at all and simply ignored him.

"Director Du, could you come over here?" Huo Yuhao waved his hand at Du Weilun.

Du Weilun paused for a moment, pointed at himself, then walked over curiously.
