Today is the round of sixteen!

The number of spectators today has clearly increased significantly; the stands were already packed before the matches even began.

However, a three-square-meter space remained empty in the center of the high platform.

An old man with messy hair and clothes as tattered as a beggar's sat there.

He held a purplish-red gourd in his left hand and a chicken leg wrapped in oil paper in his right, alternating between gulps of wine and bites of meat with great relish!

Everyone watching from here was a teacher at Shrek Academy, yet no one questioned his presence, which spoke volumes about his high status.

"Xuan Zi, that's the kid I was talking about." Wang Yan pointed toward Huo Yuhao, who was still in the preparation area.

He had originally intended to investigate on his own, but he hadn't been able to find anything at all!

Helpless, he had no choice but to seek out Xuan Zi, hoping he would step in to examine Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul.

"Mm." Xuan Zi responded simply before continuing to eat and drink.

Wang Yan pointed to the other side, "The two young men over there are the Body..."

"Shut your mouth; it's not like I can't see them." Xuan Zi waved his chicken leg impatiently.

"Yes." Wang Yan sighed, forced to hold his tongue and stand to the side.

As the drawing of lots concluded, the knockout round of the freshman assessment began!

The round of sixteen!

The partitions were dismantled once more, leaving only eight arenas!

This time, Wang Dong's team was once again facing a team of Soul Elder!

"Xie Huanyue! Freshman Class Two."

"Luo Tianlong! Luo Tianba! Freshman Class Two."

The three members of Wang Dong's team also reported their names and class.

"Come at me together; don't waste my time." Huo Yuhao waved his hand.

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao each took a step back.

Xie Huanyue was stunned!

Is he trying to take on three people at once?!

And he wants to end it quickly!

He immediately activated Martial Soul Possession!

Three soul rings appeared!

Yellow! Yellow! Purple!

The Luo brothers also activated their Martial Soul Possession!

Two soul rings emerged for each of them!

Yellow! Yellow!

Like a ball of flesh, Xie Huanyue rolled toward Huo Yuhao!

He wanted to make Huo Yuhao truly feel the gap in their strength!

He was a Soul Elder, after all!

This is too insulting!

True Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon!

Huo Yuhao reached his hand forward!

The three of them were instantly pulled toward Huo Yuhao!

Paste! Seven Treasures Famous! Third: Power!

Huo Yuhao's strength instantly increased by half!

Strength increased by 50%!

Both hands turned to jade simultaneously!

Mysterious Jade Hand!

Two clean palm prints appeared on each of their cheeks!

They were sent flying away!

The teachers on the high platform were dumbfounded!

What kind of fighting style is this?

Isn't this a bit too violent?

Two slaps each, and the fight is already over?

Even Xuan Zi stopped eating and drinking!

"Wang Dong's group, victory!" The proctor finally announced the winner.

Xie Huanyue and Luo Tian had already retracted their Martial Souls, their eyes filled with nothing but terror!

Too strong!

So strong that Xie Huanyue couldn't even muster the heart to resist!

He had no way to dodge those two slaps!

"Xuan Zi, did you figure out what his Martial Soul is?" Wang Yan asked.

"He didn't release his Martial Soul at all throughout the entire process, only his soul rings. To be honest, even I can't tell."

Xuan Zi's words were like a thunderbolt!

Wang Yan was instantly stunned!

He didn't even use his Martial Soul?

And he instantly took down Xie Huanyue, who was also a Soul Elder?

If he were to release his Martial Soul, just how strong would he be!

Wang Yan didn't even dare to continue thinking about it!

Wang Yan asked again: "What about the other two?"

"Not bad."

"One has hair as a Martial Soul, and they have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. They can be considered as candidates."

After saying this, Xuan Zi grabbed a chicken wing, picked up his wine gourd, and swayed away.

"Even Xuan Zi couldn't tell..." Wang Yan couldn't help but sigh.

The top eight were decided, but no one had expected that two groups of Soul Elders had already been eliminated!

And they were eliminated by the same group!

The drawing for the quarter-finals began in the afternoon!

"Wang Dong's group, number three!" Du Weilun looked at the lot Wang Dong had drawn and announced loudly.

Among the groups that had already drawn, the expressions of one group changed instantly!

That's right, they were matched against Wang Dong's group!

After taking the stage, both sides announced their names; this time, the opponents were from Freshman Class Nine!

Huo Yuhao did not hesitate, taking three seconds to finish off all three of them.

The legendary title of Heavenly King was firmly placed upon Huo Yuhao's head!

Too strong!

Many people had already internally crowned Wang Dong's group as the champions!

Compared to yesterday, even more teachers were watching today!

The twelve students from the top four groups stood together.

However, the person who came to draw lots today was not Du Weilun!

It was the Dean of the Martial Soul Department, Yan Shaozhe!

"Young people, hello. I am the two hundred and sixty-first Dean of Shrek Academy, Yan Shaozhe!"

The eleven freshmen never expected the Dean to show up!

That was the Dean of Shrek Academy!

He held the status to stand on equal footing with the emperors of other empires!

Moreover, the Dean of Shrek Academy must possess strength reaching that of a Title Douluo!

"I'll keep it brief. I am very interested in this year's freshmen, which is why I am here!"

"Come, let's begin the drawing!"

Just as Du Weilun picked up the drawing box, Yan Shaozhe took it from his hands!

Because he had spotted Huo Yuhao among the twelve at a single glance!

The other freshmen naturally didn't know what Yan Shaozhe was planning, only feeling a sense of boiling blood.

This was the Dean of Shrek Academy!

He was personally holding the drawing box!

For a moment, the emotions of the freshmen present couldn't help but soar!

By comparison, Huo Yuhao appeared exceptionally calm.

Because! Yan Shaozhe had knelt before him!

What was there to be so excited about over a box!

Even if Yan Shaozhe were to kneel before Huo Yuhao in public, it wouldn't stir a single ripple of excitement in him.

Because it would be completely meaningless!

Unless a choice option popped up!

Then it might have some meaning!

Of course, only might.

Yan Shaozhe walked quickly to Huo Yuhao and held out the box for drawing lots.

"He is the team leader, not me." Huo Yuhao pointed to Wang Dong beside him.

Yan Shaozhe understood in a second and extended the box toward Wang Dong.

"Young man, good luck. I hope your team can win the championship!"

The crowd was shocked!

Even Shrek Academy's Dean Yan Shaozhe favored Wang Dong's team?!

Then what kind of background did Huo Yuhao have?

To actually make Yan Shaozhe walk to him first?

After Wang Dong finished drawing, Yan Shaozhe returned to his original spot and announced, "Freshman Class One, Wang Dong's team, number two!"

"Freshman Class Five, Dai Huabin's team, draw your lots!" This time, Yan Shaozhe didn't step down but remained where he stood.

This differential treatment made Dai Huabin somewhat displeased.

But he couldn't refuse to draw, so he walked up, drew his lot, handed it to Yan Shaozhe, and turned to leave.

Yan Shaozhe immediately deducted ten points from Dai Huabin in his heart!

What do you think you are?

How dare you act like this?

You didn't even offer a salute?

"Freshman Class Five, Dai Huabin's team, number one!" Yan Shaozhe announced loudly.

Entering the arena, Huo Yuhao ended the semi-finals with the fastest speed and advanced to the final!

On the other side, Dai Huabin secured the final victory after an intense battle!

Their eyes met!

[Ding!]

[Choice triggered!]

It's finally here!
