Soul-Guided Grenade Cannon

After Huo Yuhao finished selecting all the options, every option he had not chosen disappeared.

Only the tasks Huo Yuhao had selected remained.

Then Huo Yuhao began his card-drawing session.

He went all in on twenty consecutive draws.

Just as Huo Yuhao had expected, gold appeared immediately.

He skipped past the earlier pulls. The important ones were purple and gold.

This time, Huo Yuhao only got one gold item: a long-range offensive soul tool.

Soul-Guided Grenade Cannon.

The Soul-Guided Grenade Cannon could be considered a long-range offensive soul tool, but it could also be considered a close-range area-of-effect soul tool.

The closer the target, the greater the damage. Conversely, the farther away the target was, the more ordinary its damage became.

Unless one possessed a soul skill that could trap the enemy, the damage would scatter everywhere, leaving only a grenade cannon of middling power.

Therefore, because its damage scattered, it was best used against opponents at close range. That was the only way to maximize its damage.

Reading the description of the Soul-Guided Grenade Cannon, Huo Yuhao was greatly surprised. He had not expected it to be a soul tool, and there had been no record of this soul tool in his memories.

That meant this soul tool had been developed by the system itself.

Which also meant that more soul tools might appear in the future. If so, did that mean he would not need to research soul tools on his own and could simply freeload off the system?

However, that created a problem. The system's card draws were random. There was no guarantee that every gold pull would be a soul tool, just as there was no guarantee that every gold pull would be an Elder Yi Divine Sense Fragment.

He only had six Elder Yi Divine Sense Fragments now. He still needed fifty-four more Divine Sense Fragments before he could revive Elder Yi's body.

This was way too hard. Sob, sob, sob.

Wait, what was the other gold? Holy shit, Divine Sense Fragment x2! Two Divine Sense Fragments from one gold pull.

As expected of my system.

It really knew how to take care of people. Right after updating, it gave him two Elder Yi Divine Sense Fragments.

Huo Yuhao now had eight Divine Sense Fragments in his inventory. He still needed fifty-two more.

Looking at his abundant rewards, Huo Yuhao was delighted.

After organizing his inventory, Huo Yuhao exited the system interface.

The next day, Assessment Zone Thirty-Three.

Because Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong had performed too brilliantly in the previous matches, they had not been assigned to another Assessment Zone and remained in Assessment Zone Thirty-Three.

After Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong arrived at Assessment Zone Thirty-Three, they quietly waited for the opponents they would face that day to arrive.

If Huo Yuhao remembered correctly, their first match today should be against Huang Chutian's team. All of them were Grand Soul Masters.

What Huo Yuhao remembered most clearly were the two sisters with hair martial souls. They were among the few students besides him and Wang Dong who possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

If it had not been for those two, he and Wang Dong would not have thought about developing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Should he thank them?

If they had not encountered a Martial Soul Fusion Skill in his previous life, they would not have claimed the championship in the Freshman Assessment with their powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

After waiting for some time, the remaining five groups of students in their Assessment Zone, along with the assessment teacher Wang Yan, arrived.

Looking at the six teams before him, Wang Yan said, "Very good. All the students have arrived. Next, we will proceed with the second round of the Freshman Assessment. Because Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong performed exceptionally well in the previous round in Assessment Zone Thirty-Three, they have become the seeded team of our Assessment Zone Thirty-Three."

"Next will be the first match: Huo Yuhao's team from Freshman Class One versus Huang Chutian's team from Freshman Class Seven."

"After the matches yesterday and the day before, I believe you should already have a detailed understanding of the assessment procedure, so I will not explain it further."

At Wang Yan's nod, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Huang Chutian's team from Freshman Class Seven stepped forward and headed to the competition platform.

Huang Chutian's team consisted of one boy and two girls. Standing at the very front was a tall, burly male student, who was obviously Huang Chutian.

Behind Huang Chutian stood two female students who were twins. They had identical blue hair and looked like cute little girls. They were slightly younger than Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong stood side by side.

They skipped the introductions. With Wang Yan's command, the assessment began.

The moment Wang Yan announced the start of the assessment, all five released their martial souls at the same time.

Huang Chutian let out an angry roar. As he continuously pounded his chest with both fists, his martial soul appeared.

His original height of one and a half meters abruptly surged to one point eight meters after his martial soul possessed him.

His sturdy muscles tore apart Huang Chutian's school uniform. His skin turned iron-black, and his eyes became yellow.

This was Huang Chutian's martial soul, the Herculean Ape.

After Huang Chutian released his martial soul, two yellow Soul Rings rose around him.

Then the twins, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, also released their hair martial souls.

Two yellow Soul Rings appeared beneath each of their feet. With a light toss of their heads, their blue hair immediately flew upward, stretching more than ten meters through the air without showing any sign of falling.

When Wang Dong saw the martial souls displayed by Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, he said in surprise, "Body martial souls!?"

"And they're a Grand Soul Master team."

Looking at the slightly surprised Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao said, "There's nothing to be surprised about. We just need to bring out our own strength."

"The three of them together have a total of sixty levels, while the two of us together also have sixty levels. There's no need to worry too much."

Wang Dong said to Huo Yuhao, "You're right, but why can't I be a little surprised?"

"Uh..." Huo Yuhao did not continue paying attention to Wang Dong. Instead, he released his first soul skill, Ice Illusion.

As the Ice Qilin's red jewel released a brilliant crimson glow, an identical Huo Yuhao appeared where Huo Yuhao had been standing.

However, this Huo Yuhao was an ice illusion, merely an illusion that added a field buff for them.

In an instant, an icy field spread outward with the mirrored Huo Yuhao at its center, freezing the entire arena into a smooth sheet of ice.

Blue patterns appeared all over Wang Dong's body.

With the enhancement from those blue patterns, Wang Dong was unaffected by the icy ground.

Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, however, failed to adapt immediately and slipped to the ground.
