"Hmm..."
With her long eyelashes fluttering, Wang Dong'er slowly opened her eyes; the soft, comfortable mattress made her reluctant to get up.
She hummed softly and turned over, only to find herself alone beside Huo Yuhao, whom she had expected. Suddenly opening her eyes, she sat up abruptly.
Wang Dong'er kept touching Huo Yuhao's blankets with both hands, and the slight warmth from her hands proved that Huo Yuhao had just left.
Wang Dong'er bent down, picked up the blanket, and sniffed its scent. "Hmm, it's Yuhao's scent..."
She glanced at the time and realized that the assessment was approaching. Reluctantly, she put down the blanket, dressed herself, and then left the dormitory.
Wang Dong'er's beautiful butterfly wings unfurled behind her, and with a gentle flap, her body soared into the air, quickly flying towards the assessment area.
With a flick of his Soul Power, he grabbed his long hair, tidied it up, and transformed it back into short hair.
"Please enter the assessment area as soon as possible. There are only five minutes left before the assessment area closes."
A voice came over the college's loudspeaker, reminding the contestants who had not yet arrived.
Wang Dong'er folded her butterfly wings, slowly descended, and walked into the assessment area.
As soon as she stepped into the assessment area, her Soul Power was subtly stirred, causing her to look in that direction.
Huo Yuhao was leaning against Xiao Xiao's shoulder, dozing off, the Soul Power within him emanating from Huo Yuhao body.
Xiao Xiao's face was flushed, and she kept glancing at Huo Yuhao, then shyly lowering her head, glancing at him again, then lowering her head again. It was quite amusing.
As soon as Wang Dong'er appeared in the assessment area, the students on the stands gasped in surprise and began to whisper among themselves.
Wang Dong'er's feat of taking on three opponents single-handedly yesterday was truly astonishing and has already spread throughout the entire freshman group. Coupled with her handsome appearance, she has attracted the attention of many female trainees.
"Hey, look, it's Wang Dong!"
"Oh my god, I came here specifically to see him today, he's so handsome..." Some girls even started swooning.
" Wang Dong's performance yesterday was absolutely amazing. I think some teachers can't even control that kind of Soul Power," someone exclaimed.
Wang Dong'er ignored their discussion and sat down next to Huo Yuhao.
Xiao Xiao joked, " Wang Dong, you're a big celebrity now! We're counting on you for the upcoming assessments!"
"No problem, you just need to protect Yuhao from the side, I'll take care of everything else."
After saying that, Wang Dong'er gently lifted Huo Yuhao's head with her left hand, letting him lean against her, and smiled contentedly.
Xiao Xiao felt a lightness on her shoulder and turned to see that Huo Yuhao's head was leaning against Wang Dong'er. "Wang... Wang Dong..."
" Xiao Xiao? What's wrong?"
Wang Dong'er still had a smile on her face. Seeing Huo Yuhao beside her, she said, " Yuhao, he's too heavy. I'll help you carry him. Xiao Xiao, you shouldn't mind, right?"
Xiao Xiao quickly waved her hand. Although she really wanted Yuhao to lie on her side, she couldn't say anything after hearing Wang Dong'er's words.
After hesitating for a moment, she could only stare blankly at Huo Yuhao's profile.
Fortunately, it didn't take long before the proctor announced that both sides could enter the examination room.
The competition area has expanded once again, and this time Huo Yuhao and his team are facing a group of three boys.
The three opponents lined up horizontally as soon as they entered the field. The one standing in the center was a large, fat boy who was at least 1.7 meters tall. His waist was larger than three Wang Dong'er combined.
Standing there, he looked like a small mountain of flesh.
The other two standing beside him were incredibly thin compared to him. Their features were somewhat believable, and they appeared to be brothers.
If they were further away, the two brothers might have been blocked by the student in the middle.
"Both sides state their names. Prepare for the match," the proctor said in a deep voice.
The fleshy boy slapped his chest hard, causing his bulky body to jiggle, exuding immense pressure. "Class Two, Freshmen, Xie Huanyue."
" Luo Tianlong, Class 2, Freshmen."
"Class Two, Freshmen, Luo Tianba."
After Wang Dong'er and the other two announced their names, the competition to narrow down the sixteen to eight students officially began at the invigilator's command.
Before the two even collided, Xiao Xiao's face already looked rather unpleasant.
The reason is simple: three Soul Ring, two yellow and one purple, rose from beneath the feet of the Xie Huanyue.
Three Soul Ring pulsed around his massive body, the previously illusory halo becoming fixed. Xie Huanyue's body swelled up, his height approaching two meters, his skin turning a glossy black, his body like a thick wall of flesh, causing his two teammates to hide behind him.
Soul Elder, another Three-Ring Soul Elder...
Xiao Xiao couldn't help but say, "Are we just incredibly lucky, or is the academy doing this on purpose?"
"I've inquired; there are only three teams among the entire new recruits with Soul Elder members. This is already the second team we've encountered..."
" Xiao Xiao, you protect Yuhao later. I'll handle that Three-Ring Soul Elder. As long as you protect Yuhao and keep him using his Spiritual Detection Sharing, I'm confident I can win the match." Wang Dong'er proudly raised her head and finalized the three's strategy.
Xiao Xiao nodded. As long as he used his Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron properly, he would have no problem restraining Luo Tianlong and Luo Tianba.
Luo Tianlong and Luo Tianba, who were hiding behind Xie Huanyue, also released their Martial Soul at this moment. Their slender arms each transformed into a silver-white mantis blade, with sharp and flat blades that looked exceptionally swift.
With a light step, the two brothers moved with uncanny speed, quickly circling behind Xie Huanyue and heading towards Xiao Xiao and Huo Yuhao.
All of this was captured by the Spiritual Detection. Xiao Xiao immediately prepared herself, and just as she had guessed, the two brothers were indeed masters of Agility Attack System Battle Soul Master.
The Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron split into three and, with the aid of Spiritual Detection, appeared directly on the trajectory of Luo Tianlong and Luo Tianba.
The Soul Suppressing Cauldron, with its unstoppable momentum, crashed straight into the two brothers who were charging towards it.
Luo Tianlong and Luo Tianba were startled, but quickly adjusted their stance. Their silver-white mantis blades slashed the ground, sparks flying, and they used the momentum to forcibly change their bodies. The two moved forward in a crisscross pattern, constantly dodging the Soul Suppressing Cauldron had mysteriously appeared in front of them.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Luo Tianlong and Luo Tianba's foreheads. They had advanced for half a minute, but were blocked by the three large cauldrons and had not even run five meters.
These giant cauldrons seemed to have eyes, and even the ability to read minds, guessing exactly where the user wanted to go.
"What are you two doing! Hurry up and move! I'll deal with Wang Dong over there!" Xie Huanyue shouted, his feet stomping heavily on the ground.
His thick arm slammed into his chest, the dull thud audible to everyone present. His massive body leaped into the air, jumping a full ten meters off the ground.
Wang Dong'er touched the ground with her toes, spread her beautiful wings, and flew into the air. Ignoring the two brothers, she charged towards the Xie Huanyue in the sky with high fighting spirit.
