Secret Art Spirit Bone
"Next, let me invite the Ning Tian Team, who won third place in the competition."
After being defeated by Huo Yuhao, Ning Tian and his two companions defeated another team in a battle and successfully won third place.
"Clap clap clap!"
As soon as Du Weilun finished speaking, a round of applause erupted from the audience. Ning Tian Team had left a deep impression on the freshmen. It wasn't just because they were a rare Soul Elder team, but also because almost all of Ning Tian's team members were beautiful girls.
"Next, let me invite the runner-up of the competition, Cui Yajie Team, to the stage."
Since Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu dropped out of school, the college simply changed the name of Dai Huabin's team to Cui Yajie's.
Below the stage, pink-haired Cui Yajie walked somewhat bewildered onto the podium. She had only learned of Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's withdrawal from school this morning when she was informed by the college leaders.
"Finally, let me invite the champion team of this competition, Huo Yuhao Team!"
Upon hearing this, even more enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience than the previous two times. Everyone was deeply impressed by how Huo Yuhao had easily defeated the Hell White Tiger of the White Tiger Family single-handedly.
Furthermore, everyone vividly remembers Huo Yuhao's revenge on Dai Huabin on stage.
After presenting the awards to Huo Yuhao and the others, Yan Shaozhe slowly walked to the front of the stage. Looking at these young talents before him, Yan Shaozhe was quite satisfied.
"Classmates, I will now announce the awards for this year's Freshman Competition."
As soon as Yan Shaozhe this, everyone on the stage except Huo Yuhao looked at Yan Shaozhe with expectant eyes.
"I hereby announce that all students who have made it onto the Core Disciple list in this competition may apply to the academy at any time for an elder to hunt down a Spirit Ring that is most suitable for them. Furthermore, the top three teams will receive a special reward from the academy."
Yan Shaozhe's extravagant gesture caused an uproar among the students below the stage. A senior elder was leading the hunt for Spirit Ring? Did that mean he could get any Spirit Ring Spirit Ring wanted?
After announcing that the students could disperse, Yan Shaozhe looked at the students in front of him with gentle eyes.
"Alright, you guys can go back to your teams now! Ning Tian, Cui Yajie, Huo Yuhao, the three of you come with me for a moment."
Inside Yan Shaozhe's office in the Academic Outer Court Office.
Yan Shaozhe sat in his office chair, with three gray brocade pouches on the desk in front of him.
Looking at the several people standing in front of him, Yan Shaozhe said somewhat seriously:
"Because the academy's reward this time is quite substantial, I don't want you to publicize it, understand?"
Upon hearing this, the three exchanged a glance and nodded in unison.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Yan Shaozhe's expression softened slightly. He pointed to the three brocade pouches on the table and said:
"These three pouches contain three Secret Art Spirit Bone. You can each take one from your team!"
"Spirit Bone!!!"
Cui Yajie from the second team was so overwhelmed by this unexpected windfall that she almost fainted from excitement.
First, Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu left the team, making her the captain. Now, the dean is rewarding each team with a Spirit Bone, which is practically free.
She was extremely grateful to Huo Yuhao, grateful that he hadn't punished her the way he had punished Dai Huabin and the other man. It felt like Huo Yuhao had simply beaten them both so badly they had to drop out of school, allowing her to get a Spirit Bone for free.
Otherwise, this Spirit Bone would never have ended up in her hands.
Huo Yuhao and Ning Tian, standing beside her, had much more indifferent expressions.
Firstly, both of them came from wealthy families or had powerful backers. Secondly, the Spirit Bone refined using secret methods were generally not very old. When absorbed, they carried a strong resentment, requiring a great deal of effort to eliminate the resentment within the Spirit Bone.
"Alright, you've received everything. You can go back now."
The three of them had just stepped out of the office. Cui Yajie was still clutching the Spirit Bone, grinning foolishly. Huo Yuhao and Ning Tian were both deep in thought.
"Huo Yuhao, please wait!"
Just as Huo Yuhao was about to walk away, Ning Tian's clear and melodious voice came from behind.
Huo Yuhao froze upon hearing Ning Tian's words.
"Why does this sound so much like what the Teacher said? I have a bad feeling about this."
Ning Tian didn't notice the stiffness in Huo Yuhao's movements. She walked straight up to Huo Yuhao and placed an invitation in front of Huo Yuhao.
"Yuhao, are you free tomorrow? I'd like to invite you to dinner."
Huo Yuhao was about to refuse when Ning Tian threw out a bargaining chip he couldn't refuse.
"My Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has maintained a ten-thousand-year-old friendship with the White Tiger Family, and we possess a great deal of intelligence about them!"
Ning Tian's words successfully piqued Huo Yuhao's interest. Although the White Tiger Family had declined and lost its throne, its foundation was still not to be underestimated.
Although Xu Jiawei was the emperor, he was actually subject to the constraints of the Dai Family to a certain extent within the country. Since Ning Tian claimed to have intelligence about the White Tiger Family, he was definitely not making baseless accusations.
"Oh! Ning Tian, didn't you just say that your family and the White Tiger Family have been on friendly terms for millennia? How come you're selling information about your ally now?"
Huo Yuhao's words made Ning Tian chuckle.
"Hehe, Yuhao, you're overthinking it. The friendly relationship between our two families is just for show. After all, neither of our families are direct descendants of those two from ten thousand years ago. Even if we had some initial kinship ties, after ten thousand years, we're practically strangers now."
Upon hearing Ning Tian's explanation, Huo Yuhao gladly accepted Ning Tian's invitation. However, he then added a sentence.
"Ning Tian, you are indeed very sincere, but I haven't had time these past few days. How about we set the date for ten days from now?"
"Then it's a deal!"
"Hey, Yuhao! What good stuff did Dean Yan give you when he asked you to go to his office?"
As soon as Huo Yuhao entered the classroom, Xiao Xiao eagerly crowded around him, staring curiously at the brocade pouch in Huo Yuhao's hand.
Hearing Xiao Xiao's words, even Wang Dong'er curiously moved closer to Huo Yuhao, examining the brocade pouch with interest.
Huo Yuhao looked around the classroom and noticed many new faces. Most of these people were also curiously looking in their direction.
"Don't resist!"
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er felt something enter their minds. They instinctively tried to resist, but remembering Huo Yuhao's words, they accepted the force.
In an instant, their vision suddenly became incredibly clear; they could see not only what was in front of them, but also everything behind them.
"Yuhao, you actually kept such a magical Soul Skill hidden from us! That's so unfair!"
Feeling the effects of Huo Yuhao's Soul Skill, Wang Dong'er said with some dissatisfaction.
"It's just that the Freshman Competition is unnecessary. Besides, didn't I already say that I'm Control System Soul Master?"
"Alright, Dong'er, stop interrupting. I want to see what good stuff the class monitor has!"
As Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection Sharing gradually probed into the pouch, a Deep Blue Leg Bone appeared before the three of them.
"This is... Ughhh!!!"
