"Mm, I managed to comfort Bing'er."

"Not only did you comfort her, you even won her over." Huo Yuhao proudly showed off his achievement to Wang Donger, wanting to see how she would react upon hearing it.

"Wait, you won her over just like that?" Wang Donger had just taken a sip of water from who knew where when she heard that Huo Yuhao had gotten Xue Ningbing. She immediately sprayed the water all over Huo Yuhao's face.

She had not even had the chance to steal a march on him yet—how had Xue Ningbing already gotten together with Huo Yuhao?

Seeing Wang Donger's reaction, Huo Yuhao wanted to laugh. He rather liked this reaction.

But hadn't he seemingly forgotten Wang Qiuer?

His first fiancée still had not made any progress with him at all. It looked like he would have to sweet-talk Qiu'er into coming over during the break.

Huo Yuhao nodded happily. "Mm-hm. So? Surprised? Unexpected?"

"Not surprised at all, and not unexpected at all!" Although Wang Donger knew that, given the relationship Huo Yuhao and Xue Ningbing had displayed over the past three months, they would get together sooner or later, she had never expected them to get together so quickly!

Didn't that completely ruin her previous plan to steal a march on him?

Seeing Wang Donger looking like something was wrong with her mentally, Huo Yuhao asked with some concern, "Wang Donger, are you okay?"

Seeing Huo Yuhao show concern for her, Wang Donger replied in a "calm" tone, "I'm fine!"

Seeing her reaction, Huo Yuhao said, "What, are you jealous?"

"Who's jealous?!" Wang Donger's fist was not the only thing that answered Huo Yuhao.

"Was there really any need to hit that hard?"

"Sorry."

After that little farce ended, Huo Yuhao began practicing the Martial Soul Fusion Skill that belonged to him and Wang Donger.

In the next day's four Freshman Assessment matches, the opponents Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong encountered basically chose to surrender out of fear of their overwhelming strength.

If it had only been Wang Dong, that would have been manageable. Three against one could eventually wear him down. But there was also a bug-like contestant such as Huo Yuhao.

The teams that encountered them did not even have the desire to fight.

Wang Yan, the assessment teacher for District Thirty-Three, could only look helpless when he saw this.

At the same time, he felt disappointed in this batch of students.

If they chose to surrender the moment they encountered a powerful enemy, then people like them did not deserve to remain at Shrek at all.

How could they know whether they had a chance to win without trying?

Though Wang Yan said that, what he truly wanted was combat data on Huo Yuhao.

But aside from the first battle, the other matches had yielded practically nothing.

Watching Huo Yuhao leave the assessment area, Wang Yan muttered to himself, "It seems I was right. The earlier battles simply could not bring out all of Huo Yuhao's strength."

"Then I can only place my hopes on Dai Huabin and the others."

"Perhaps only they can force Huo Yuhao to reveal his strength step by step."

As for why Wang Yan knew about Dai Huabin's team, and why he chose Dai Huabin instead of the stronger Xue Ningbing

Earlier, in order to smoothly study the secrets of Huo Yuhao's martial soul during the Freshman Assessment, Wang Yan had obtained Du Weilun's permission to learn which teams had received special attention this time.

The teams receiving special attention this time had basically secured their positions as core disciples.

Placing his hopes on Xue Ningbing and Xiao Xiao was the last thing Wang Yan would do. Judging by the relationship among the four of them, any match between them would basically just be a staged, watered-down battle.

After all, it made little difference to them who won the championship.

Aside from those two teams, the team Wang Yan thought most highly of was Dai Huabin's.

There was no need to mention a Soul Elder, not to mention that Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Challenging Huo Yuhao across ranks should not be much of a problem.

Wang Dong? Don't forget that Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu still had a third teammate.

Wang Yan did not believe that Huo Yuhao would not reveal his true strength when facing Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

After the second round of Freshman Assessments, some of the examinees were already exhausted, not to mention that they still had to deal with five matches the next day.

On the way back to the dormitory, Wang Dong said easily, "I have to say, those four battles today felt amazing."

"We didn't even need to release our martial souls to easily finish those tiring battles."

Seeing how relaxed Wang Dong was, Huo Yuhao reminded him, "For now, these are only appetizers. We might encounter some strong opponents next, so things won't be this easy from here on."

After hearing that, Wang Dong replied indifferently, "It's not a big problem. If there's an opponent I can't handle, I'll just leave them to you. With your strength, aside from Xue Ningbing, there really aren't many people who can be your opponent."

After returning to the dormitory, Huo Yuhao and Wang Donger continued practicing their Martial Soul Fusion Skill together as before, striving to make it shine during the assessment.

After practicing their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they lay down on their respective beds to rest.

[System update complete] [The system has issued update compensation: twenty consecutive draws.] [The host has unlocked a brand-new mission system.] [Mission 1: Choice 1: Rescue Skydream Iceworm. Reward: ten consecutive draws.] [Choice 2: Let Skydream Iceworm fend for himself, or absorb him to further bolster the fortune of the Far North. Reward: ten consecutive draws.] [Mission 2: Choice 1: Become Shrek's lapdog. Shrek comes first in all things. Reward: ten draws.] [Choice 2: Refuse to become Shrek's lapdog. Leave Shrek once your strength reaches its peak. Reward: ten consecutive draws.]

Looking at the system prompts that had suddenly appeared before him, Huo Yuhao had yet to react.

Once he came to his senses, Huo Yuhao remembered that his system had been updating for three months.

Looking at these missions, whose choices had basically identical rewards, Huo Yuhao found it very nice.

As expected of his system—it at least had basic fairness.

After looking over the choices, Huo Yuhao decided to save Skydream Iceworm.

After all, Skydream Iceworm had been his guide in his previous life. Without Skydream Iceworm, he would not have met the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress.

So he chose the first option: rescue Skydream Iceworm.

He was unwilling to be Tang San's dog, so why would he become Shrek's lapdog?

He directly chose the second option.

The only reason he had come to Shrek was to get closer to his sworn older sister, Wang Donger. What did Shrek's affairs have to do with him?
