He Had Abs Now, and Three Control System Students

Wang Dong'er and Huo Yuhao ate together, lived together, studied together, and fought together, happily spending three months side by side.

Huo Yuhao discovered that he always felt comfortable whenever he was with Wang Dong'er. Sometimes, when their eyes met, his heart would pound, making him wonder whether he was sick.

Throughout those three months, Xiao Xiao watched their daily lives from the sidelines and secretly wrote a book called "An Observation Diary of Two Male Classmates."

Three months later, both Wang Dong'er and Huo Yuhao had changed enormously.

Huo Yuhao especially. He had been a little shorter than Wang Dong'er before, but now they were almost the same height.

Wang Dong'er could also feel that Huo Yuhao's body had become much sturdier. When he had changed clothes earlier, she had even seen that he now had clearly defined abs.

Of course, that was also thanks to Wang Dong'er constantly feeding him over the past few months.

His diet had been so poor before that his growth had been somewhat stunted. Now, with enough nutrition and Zhou Yi's rather sadistic training, his physical fitness had caught up with everyone else's.

Wang Dong'er's changes were mainly in her Soul Power cultivation.

She did not know whether it was because she had been reborn, but her spiritual power was much stronger than it had been at the same point in her previous life, so her cultivation had become faster too.

Over those three months, Wang Dong'er had searched through every book she could access in the Shrek Outer Court, hoping to find a way to become stronger.

Unfortunately, although many of those books were the only surviving copies, none contained what she wanted.

Wang Dong'er wondered whether, after entering the Sea God Pavilion, she could find an opportunity to look through its collection. Perhaps she would find some clues there.

"Yuhao, class is over. Come on, let's go eat at the cafeteria."

Wang Dong'er eagerly reached to pull Huo Yuhao away.

Just then, Zhou Yi entered the classroom and stopped everyone.

"I'll take a few minutes of your time. I have something very important to discuss."

Wang Dong'er pouted and had no choice but to sit back down.

"This afternoon's physical training class is canceled."

The students showed no reaction, but a closer look would reveal their eyebrows lifting slightly.

Although they knew physical training was important for improving their strength, being able to skip even one day still felt wonderful.

"Don't celebrate too soon. It's been three months since the start of term, and you're about to face your first Freshmen Assessment. Only those who pass will truly become members of Shrek. Those who fail can only go home. This is the academy's decision, so complaining about me won't help."

At that point, Zhou Yi instinctively glanced at Wang Dong'er.

"The assessment begins tomorrow. Today, I'll explain its key points."

Wang Dong'er was rather speechless. The exam was tomorrow, and she was only explaining the rules today? Couldn't she have told us earlier so everyone could prepare?

Zhou Yi continued, "Before that, write down the direction you intend to take in your future cultivation. Once I finish explaining, hand your forms to Huo Yuhao."

"Huo Yuhao, come up and get the forms. Give one to each student. Everyone, write your name on it."

Huo Yuhao handed them out one by one, deliberately skipping Wang Dong'er until he finally came over and placed her sheet in her hands.

Without hesitating, Huo Yuhao wrote down "Control System."

Wang Dong'er followed his lead and wrote down Control System too.

"Wang Dong, your Martial Soul has such strong offensive power. Wouldn't the Power Attack System be a better choice?" Huo Yuhao asked, puzzled.

"But if I choose the Power Attack System, we probably won't end up in the same class."

"Oh, is that so... Then choose the Control System."

Huo Yuhao did not want to be separated from Wang Dong'er either.

"But you're right. The Power Attack System really does suit me better. Why don't we both change ours to Power Attack System?"

Huo Yuhao thought it over. The Power Attack System really did not suit him. After all, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's direct offensive power was weak, and his Soul Skills were mostly support and control abilities.

He gritted his teeth and replied, "All right. If you want to choose the Power Attack System, I'll choose it too. At worst, I'll just choose offensive Soul Rings from now on."

He really did not want to be separated from Wang Dong'er.

Wang Dong'er smiled. "Silly, I was teasing you. Even if I chose the Power Attack System, we wouldn't be separated. Yuhao, you really are easy to fool."

Huo Yuhao pursed his lips and huffed.

Seeing Yuhao looking so indignant, Wang Dong'er laughed happily.

Zhou Yi had already begun explaining the assessment rules from the podium. She rattled off a whole string of details, but the main point was that they needed to form teams of three to fight, and only the top-ranking half would be allowed to stay.

"Wang Dong, let's form a team."

After three months of fighting together, they understood each other very well and would have excellent coordination as teammates.

"As for the third person, I'll have to give that some thought."

"What's there to think about? Xiao Xiao, obviously."

Huo Yuhao slapped his forehead. "Oh, right. Then we'll ask her in a bit if she's willing."

"All right, class dismissed. Hand in the forms you just filled out. You may also form your own teams. If you have no teammates in mind, I'll assign them directly."

Xiao Xiao ran over. "Yuhao, Wang Dong, how about the three of us form a team?"

"Sure! We wanted to team up with you too," Huo Yuhao said.

"That's great! Come on, come on, let's hurry and practice. The competition starts tomorrow," Xiao Xiao suggested.

The three wrote down their team roster and were about to leave when Zhou Yi called them back.

"You three, stop right there!"

Zhou Yi slapped their three forms onto the teacher's desk. "What exactly are you three trying to do? All of you chose the Control System!"

"Huo Yuhao, why did you choose the Control System? Your Martial Soul should be better suited to the Support System."

Huo Yuhao explained, "Teacher, there's something you don't know. Although my current first Soul Skill is Spiritual Detection, I want to become a Control System Soul Master in the future so I can coordinate better with others."

"All right. Control System Soul Masters do have better prospects than Support System Soul Masters. You have strong leadership abilities and could certainly serve as the guiding figure of a team."

She turned to Xiao Xiao. "And what about you? Your Soul-Suppressing Cauldron should be a support-type Martial Soul. Why did you choose control too?"

"Teacher Zhou, there's something you don't know. My Martial Soul is indeed the Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, but it combines attack, control, and support."

"Three directions are a little too scattered. You'd better choose one as your main cultivation focus."

Xiao Xiao nodded. "My main choice is attack."

"Then why did you choose the Control System?"

"Because I have another Martial Soul. My other Martial Soul is a control type."

Both Zhou Yi and Huo Yuhao were astonished. They had never expected Xiao Xiao to possess twin Martial Souls.

Everyone with twin Martial Souls was a heaven-favored prodigy of their era. As long as they did not fall along the way, they would unquestionably rise to become a Titled Douluo.

Wang Dong'er suddenly felt that, without Huo Yuhao, Xiao Xiao might have been the protagonist of this era.
