A True Agility Assault Type

The remaining battles in District Thirty-Three were hardly worth mentioning. With Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao joining forces and having expended little energy, none of the remaining teams could stand against them.

Moreover, the other teams' Martial Souls and Soul Skills lacked any distinguishing traits. Wanting to return as soon as possible to resume researching new Soul Power Circuits,

Huo Yuhao did not hold back this time. In every match, he dealt with his opponents swiftly and decisively.

Once the Round Robin ended and they had won all ten matches, Huo Yuhao and the other two returned to their dormitories. Wang Yan did not ask Huo Yuhao about the details of his Martial Soul or Soul Skills.

After all, while Huo Yuhao's performance had been good, it was nowhere near as eye-catching as showing off by serving as a team captain with a ten-year Soul Ring in the original story.

In Wang Yan's eyes, since he had already identified Huo Yuhao's most important Body Martial Soul, there was no need to investigate further. He only needed to report it to Elder Xuan.

Seagod Lake, Sea God Island.

Wang Yan respectfully bowed to Taotie Douluo Xuan Zi, who was happily eating with a wine gourd in one hand and a chicken drumstick in the other.

He then respectfully reported several students from this Freshman Assessment who were worthy of attention and cultivation, especially Huo Yuhao, Lan Susu, and Lan Luoluo, all of whom possessed Body Martial Souls. Wang Yan particularly wanted to learn more about these rare Body Martial Souls.

"Body Martial Souls? Are they from the Body Sect? No... If they were from the Body Sect, they would never allow such top-tier Martial Souls to remain outside." Xuan Zi muttered.

"Yes. Furthermore, the Martial Soul listed in the records submitted by this student, Huo Yuhao, is a mutated Martial Soul with a Spiritual Attribute. According to the student who conducted his entrance assessment, his powers of observation are also astonishing."

"That should be an ability granted by his First Soul Skill. I don't know what kind of Soul Beast produced it, but it suits his already outstanding Martial Soul extremely well. They complement each other perfectly."

"A Spiritual Attribute Martial Soul? Interesting. In that case, this kid has a top-tier Body Martial Soul. Haha, I never expected Shrek Academy to obtain one."

"A top-tier Body Martial Soul?" Wang Yan asked in confusion. "Elder Xuan, are you saying that Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo's hair Martial Souls are different from his?"

"Hehe, naturally." Xuan Zi seemed to be in an excellent mood. He even stopped eating his chicken drumstick, stood up, and stretched.

"The strength of a Body Martial Soul can be directly distinguished by how important that body part is to the human body."

"Other than the Martial Soul: Body inherited through generations of Body Sect Masters, the highest-tier ones are the brain and heart, representing a person's thoughts and source of strength."

"Next comes size. The greater the proportion of the body occupied by the Body Martial Soul, the higher its tier. For example, Martial Soul: Arm and Martial Soul: Hand are naturally on entirely different levels."

"Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes may appear to be simply eyes, but since they possess a Spiritual Attribute, his Martial Soul cannot be as simple as just eyes."

"It must be connected in some way to the human brain in order to possess attributes related to the spirit."

"Moreover, when eyes and the brain are combined, their value far exceeds that of Martial Soul: Brain alone."

"After all, while Martial Soul: Brain is important, it is hidden inside the body. It is difficult to awaken during the early stages of a Soul Master's cultivation, much less wield freely."

"But when paired with eyes, it becomes different. The brain strengthens Spiritual Power, while the eyes provide a medium through which that powerful Spiritual Power can be projected outward."

"That is also why you could not understand how Huo Yuhao and the others defeated Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo's Martial Soul Fusion Skill. With your talent and cultivation, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to reach the profound levels of Spiritual Power."

"As for hair, it counts as a Body Martial Soul, but it is not an especially outstanding kind. Still, those sisters are twins, and their Martial Soul fusion greatly enhances their potential."

"Interesting. The quality of this batch of students is quite good. Save me a seat for the Freshman Assessment ranking matches. I'll go take a look personally."

"Yes," Wang Yan replied respectfully. He did not resent Xuan Zi's remark about his lacking talent. After all, if his talent had been exceptional, he would not have switched to theoretical studies.

Because Huo Yuhao had seen through Wang Dong's identity, Wang Dong did not come over after returning to the dormitory to suggest trying out a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. That let Huo Yuhao breathe a sigh of relief.

It seemed Ancestor Tang was not yet so anxious as to reveal his true intentions and forcibly interfere with Wang Dong's thoughts.

Entering his Spiritual Sea, Huo Yuhao began repeatedly attempting to stack identical Soul Power Circuits, trying to simulate an effect similar to Soul Skill fusion.

As for Martial Soul Fusion Skills or Self Martial Soul Fusion Skills, Huo Yuhao was not prepared to attempt them yet. One did what matched one's cultivation, and he was currently only a tiny one-ring Soul Master.

Though he was nearly omnipotent within his Spiritual Sea, he could only accomplish things he understood or could deduce.

When it came to deep alterations of his own body or adjustments to his Martial Soul, Huo Yuhao was not fully prepared. Naturally, he would not recklessly delve into them.

In this way, although he did not produce any remarkable research results, Huo Yuhao was initially able to stack two identical Soul Power Circuits without causing a conflict.

With the initial Freshman Assessment matches concluded, Huo Yuhao and the others received a brief day to rest and recuperate.

Soon, after that brief period of rest and recuperation, the elimination rounds arrived as scheduled.

Once all sixty-four teams participating in the elimination rounds had arrived, lots were drawn to determine the matchups.

Unlike the Freshman Assessment, which had featured multiple matches a day, the elimination rounds held only two matches per day over a total of three days.

However, both the difficulty and intensity of the competition far surpassed the earlier Freshman Assessment. The opponents then had varied greatly in quality, but the enemies now were all among the most outstanding students of this year.

The morning match was easy. Their opponents were not particularly strong, and Huo Yuhao's team took them down without much effort. But their afternoon opponents were different.

Looking at the three young girls across from them, Huo Yuhao quietly said to Wang Dong beside him before entering the arena, "Wang Dong, prioritize taking out the green-haired girl later."

"Xiao Xiao, the red-haired one is yours. Just hold her back. I'll handle the last one."

"Of course, if neither of you can manage it, I'll support you."

Outside the arena, Mu Jin and Zhou Yi, who had never gotten along, had made a wager and begun competing against each other. But Huo Yuhao naturally would not deliberately lose just to disgust Zhou Yi.

After both sides entered the arena, the proctor said, "State your names."

The positions of Huo Yuhao's group remained unchanged, following their previous arrangement, simple and conventional.

Meanwhile, the red-haired girl with short hair and the light-green-haired girl positioned themselves in front of the blonde girl, forming the most common triangular formation.

"Freshman Class Nine, Wu Feng, level twenty-five Assault Type Soul Master."

"Freshman Class Nine, Nanmen Yun'er, level twenty-four Agility Assault Type Soul Master."

"Freshman Class Nine, Ning Tian, level thirty-one Support Type Tool Soul Master."

The three introduced themselves and stated their Soul Power Levels. Ordinarily, however, it was sufficient to state only one's class and name.

Huo Yuhao's group did not introduce themselves in the same manner.

Huo Yuhao merely said calmly, "Freshman Class One, Huo Yuhao, Agility Assault Type Soul Master."

Seeing that Huo Yuhao had not announced his Soul Power Level, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao naturally did not say anything further either.

"Freshman Class One, Xiao Xiao, Control Type Soul Master."

"Freshman Class One, Wang Dong, Assault Type Soul Master."

For some reason, Wu Feng's eyes held a strong arrogance as she looked disdainfully at the three of them.

Wang Dong narrowed her eyes at the sight, and the fire in her heart was ignited. That was simply the kind of person Wang Dong was. She could act silly around friends, but the pride hidden in her heart ran deep.

Once both sides had introduced themselves, the proctor immediately announced the start of the match.

Wang Dong shot forward with a single stride. As her blue-gold wings unfurled, Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron closely followed behind her.

Seeing the opposing Assault Type Soul Master charge in, Wu Feng did not hesitate. With Martial Soul Possession, the early advantage of a Dragon Martial Soul became fully apparent. Wu Feng's formerly ordinary figure abruptly grew tall and voluptuous.

At the same time, a layer of fine dragon scales covered her body. Her figure flickered as she moved to intercept Wang Dong.

But just as Wang Dong's butterfly wings beat, eight differently shaped hidden weapons slipped out from beneath them along tricky arcs, striking Wu Feng with a series of clinks and clangs.

Taking advantage of the brief stiffness caused by the hidden weapons, the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron had already trapped Wu Feng at its center and released violent vibrations, leaving her briefly dizzy.

Meanwhile, Wang Dong met Nanmen Yun'er head-on. Only then did the others realize that the eight hidden weapons which had intercepted Wu Feng had bounced toward Nanmen Yun'er after being shaken away by Wu Feng.

As a result, Nanmen Yun'er, who had originally planned to launch a surprise attack against Xiao Xiao while Wu Feng intercepted Wang Dong, was briefly delayed by the hidden weapons and became entangled with Wang Dong.

"Glazed light shines as the Seven Treasures turn. Of the Seven Treasures, the first: Speed. Of the Seven Treasures, the third: Strength." Seeing both front-line fighters tied down, Ning Tian no longer hesitated and immediately used her Soul Skills to support them.

She followed it with another Soul Skill. "Of the Seven Treasures, the second: Release." A beam of light descended from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda onto Wu Feng, easing the dizziness caused by Xiao Xiao's Cauldron's Quake.

But Nanmen Yun'er could no longer hold on.

Though she had received the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda's speed boost, she could not use her agility to contend with Wang Dong.

That was because no matter where she dodged, a hidden weapon would emerge from some blind spot and strike an acupoint on her body.

Though none of those acupoints were fatal, each hit either threw her off balance or left her limbs weak. At the same time, Wang Dong's relentless attacks made them impossible to fend off. Watching this, Ning Tian could not help growing anxious.

She could not understand how Huo Yuhao was doing it. Why did every shot hit its mark? Nanmen Yun'er was an Agility Assault Type Soul Grandmaster enhanced by a Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda's speed Soul Incantation!

How could Huo Yuhao, a mere one-ring Soul Master, predict her movements and counter them?

And it was not only Nanmen Yun'er. While targeting Nanmen Yun'er, Huo Yuhao still had the ability to help Xiao Xiao hold back Wu Feng?

Wu Feng had unleashed her First Soul Skill, Dragon's Fire, and her Second Soul Skill, Dragon's Rage. Trapped within the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron, she charged and crashed about wildly.

Xiao Xiao only felt the difficulty of controlling her Martial Soul abruptly increase. Although she and Wu Feng were both two-ring Soul Grand Masters, Wu Feng not only had her own enhancement abilities, but also Ning Tian's Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda boosts.

"Xiao Xiao, use Soul Skill Fusion Ring," Huo Yuhao said to Xiao Xiao. At the same time, he switched the hidden weapons in his hands to the heavier Iron Gall.

Because flames now surrounded Wu Feng's body, hidden weapons such as throwing knives and needles could no longer effectively obstruct her. He had to use these heavier throwing weapons instead.

In addition to his own strength, Huo Yuhao urgently activated the Soul Power Circuits he had prepared within his body.

Acceleration Soul Power Circuit combined with Compressed Soul Power Circuit—activate!

Huo Yuhao's already terrifyingly fast hand movements now became afterimages. A dense barrage of hidden weapons flew along precise arcs toward Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er.

These hidden weapons accounted for every movement they could make next and sealed off every possible route of action.

At the sight, the proctor at the side of the arena twitched at the corner of his mouth. The Tang Sect had few members, and they had rarely seen low-level Tang Sect Soul Masters use hidden weapons before.

After all, hidden weapon techniques could not be mastered overnight. By the time one became proficient, Soul Tools had long since surpassed hidden weapons in advantage.

This was their first time witnessing the terrifying dominance of hidden weapons among one-ring and two-ring Soul Masters. Leaving aside everything else, the sheer quantity alone was absurd.

"Damn, is this what a real Agility Assault Type is like?" one teacher outside the arena could not help sighing.

"Looks like we'll have to find time to restrict hidden weapons."

"Hey, what are you saying? Tang Sect hidden weapons have existed for ages. They were never restricted ten thousand years ago, so why restrict them now?"

"Being able to skillfully use hidden weapons is part of the Tang Sect's cultivation. We should not interfere. Every sect and school has its own unique techniques."

"Ban hidden weapons this time, and next time you'll ban fusion rings. Then after that, will you ban Martial Soul Fusion Skills too? That makes no sense."

In the arena, thanks to the formidable physical enhancement granted by her Dragon Martial Soul, along with the assistance of several attribute-enhancing Soul Skills, Wu Feng was disheveled but had not suffered any serious injuries. Her movements were merely restricted.

Nanmen Yun'er, however, could no longer endure. After being injured too severely, she was carried off the field by the proctor.
