Zhao Haochen stood at the very back and shouted loudly:
"My big chicken legs, come here quickly."
From beneath his feet, a yellow Spirit Ring floated into appearance. Two flickering lights appeared in his hands, and a moment later, transformed into two large chicken legs. He quickly handed them to the two people in front.
Both Ouyang Junyi and Chen Junfeng had already released their Spirit Souls. The two quickly took the chicken legs, bit into them, and chewed ravenously.
A Plant System Spirit Soul?
This was the first time Huo Yuhao had seen a Plant System Spirit Soul, but he didn't know what the effect of those chicken legs was. Zhao Haochen only had one Spirit Ring, but it was a Hundred-Year Spirit Ring, so its effect probably wasn't bad. The way Ouyang Junyi and Chen Junfeng gnawed on the chicken legs was truly a bit strange, causing Xiao Xiao to burst out laughing. She almost lost control of the Three-Life Town Soul Cauldron floating above her head.
A moment later, Ouyang Junyi and Chen Junfeng attacked simultaneously. Although one possessed a Beast Spirit Soul and the other a Tool Spirit Soul, both were Agility Attack System Battle Spirit Masters.
Ouyang Junyi's Spirit Soul was the Sword Filth Wind Bird. After releasing his Spirit Soul, a sharp thorn immediately appeared in his hand. His Spirit Soul was a type of bird, but his cultivation had not yet reached the realm where two wings would appear. From this, it could be seen that his Spirit Soul had a significant disparity compared to Wang Dong's. Wang Dong's Radiant Goddess Butterfly Spirit Soul already had wings from the very beginning; that was the highest-grade type of Spirit Soul.
As for Chen Junfeng's Spirit Soul, it was a soft sword. Although all three of them were Spirit Masters with one Spirit Ring, their Spirit Rings were all brilliant yellow Hundred-Year Spirit Rings. Among them, Ouyang Junyi's strength was the greatest, his cultivation having reached level nineteen, while Chen Junfeng was level eighteen. Zhao Haochen, being a Plant System Spirit Master, had a relatively slower cultivation increase, only at level seventeen.
After the two Agility Attack System Battle Spirit Masters finished eating the chicken legs, they immediately shot towards Wang Dong like arrows, their extreme speed startling Wang Dong. But in an instant, he realized that these two had just eaten the chicken legs, and perhaps their speed had increased so much because of it!
At this moment, not only did they realize it, but even the spectators guessed that Zhao Haochen's chicken legs had an auxiliary effect of increasing speed. They surely intended to use their speed for a quick victory.
Unfortunately, their opponents were the trio of Huo Yuhao, because with their probing spiritual power, the thing they feared least was speed.
A golden light flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and the entire competition arena immediately appeared in 3D form within Wang Dong's mind. Although Ouyang Junyi and Chen Junfeng's speed was fast, their flight trajectories, methods of circulating Spirit Power, directions of Spirit Skill bursts, and their weaknesses all appeared in Wang Dong's mind. Wang Dong finally felt the ease that Xiao Xiao had spoken of when she cooperated with Huo Yuhao that morning.
Ouyang Junyi and Chen Junfeng intended to launch a surprise attack on Wang Dong alone, dealing with him first before handling Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao. They were confident that the other two would not be able to provide timely assistance.
Ouyang Junyi's left hand was covered in sharp thorns, while his right hand was enveloped in a layer of bird feathers. His body also became extremely light. Although both were Agility Attack System Spirit Masters, his speed was slightly faster than Chen Junfeng's. The yellow Spirit Ring on his body flickered, and the sharp thorns on his hand instantly transformed into more than ten streaks of light that flew out, covering Wang Dong's body.
Although Chen Junfeng was a bit slower, it was clear this wasn't the first time he and Ouyang Junyi had coordinated. Before he even arrived, the short sword in his hand had already slashed out, and his soul ring also lit up. A streak of sword light shot out, cutting straight towards Wang Dong.
As they made their move, golden patterns had already spread across Wang Dong's two arms. He was also using his first soul ring; his palms and two wings instantly came together, and the two blade-wings that Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao had once seen reappeared.
In mid-air, Wang Dong's position was several feet higher than Ouyang Junyi and Chen Junfeng. His expression was arrogant, as if he were looking down on the two of them. Wang Dong's two wings suddenly swept horizontally, directly meeting Ouyang Junyi's and Chen Junfeng's two attacks. The position was perfectly precise, not off by a single millimeter.
Swish swish swish swish.... A series of tearing wind sounds rang out. Ouyang Junyi looked back in shock. His attack, aimed at the wing of the Radiant Goddess Butterfly, only caused golden ripples to appear. With the sharpness of the Filthy Wind Bird Sword, it actually couldn't cut through that wing. Immediately after, a wing-blade came right before his face.
Ouyang Junyi was considered to have some combat experience. In an instant, his small body intended to duck down and pass under the wing, but Wang Dong suddenly lowered his wing. *Thud!* Ouyang Junyi was directly sent flying, the force from his back making him almost spit blood.
Chen Junfeng on the other side wasn't much better. When his sword light touched the blade-wing, he felt a golden light flash, and his own sword light scattered. Immediately after, he heard whooshing sounds, trembling violently, and then his entire body was sent flying backward. He flew back even faster than he had arrived, just happening to fall onto Zhao Haoshen, who had just thrown him a chicken leg earlier, causing both of them to get tangled up and roll on the ground.
The wide blue wings spread in the air, and the golden patterns gradually disappeared. Wang Dong slowly descended to the ground, his face still full of arrogance.
Outside, Teacher Wang Yan's eyes continuously emitted strange rays of light, and the other teams observing the battle were all stunned. For a moment, the atmosphere of the entire Area Thirty-Three fell into contemplation, completely silent.
Too powerful! A Strength Attack-type Battle Soul Master was terrifying. Normally, a Strength Attack-type soul master, once reaching a certain level, could counter an Agility Attack-type soul master. But how long had all these disciples been cultivating? How could there be such a huge disparity? Wang Dong alone was able to shatter the attacks of two Agility Attack-type Battle Soul Masters, and what's more, this was under circumstances where the opponents had a Plant-type Tool Soul Master assisting them...
Although it's said that a soul master with two soul rings has an advantage over someone with one soul ring, to be able to win in a one-versus-three situation, what does this indicate? It completely proves that this soul master with the Radiant Goddess Butterfly martial spirit is too powerful.
Furthermore, there was another person with two soul rings in this team, so Huo Yuhao was directly forgotten by everyone. Only Teacher Wang Yan vaguely saw a faint golden light flash in the depths of his eyes.
Normally speaking, even though Ouyang Junyi's group wasn't as strong as Huo Yuhao's, they only had Wang Dong on their side. How could they have ended the match so quickly? But don't forget, Huo Yuhao was there, providing assistance with his Spiritual Detection Sharing skill, which came from a six-hundred-year soul ring!
Spiritual Detection Sharing wasn't just one skill; it was a combination of two auxiliary soul skills, both originating from a six-hundred-year soul ring. With this assistance, Wang Dong's advantage over his opponents was clearly immense.
Furthermore, while all three of Wang Dong's soul skills came from Hundred-Year Soul Rings, his soul power had already reached level twenty-four, far exceeding his opponents' cultivation. Coupled with his Martial Soul's complete suppression of the enemy, all these elements combined to secure this overwhelming victory.
Wang Dong retracted his wings, turned, and walked over to Xiao Xiao and Huo Yuhao. The three of them clapped their hands in celebration. Xiao Xiao smiled faintly and said:
"—Class Monitor, you're truly amazing! Wang Dong, next time, let me be the one to crush them, alright?"
She was absolutely certain that if she had been the one fighting just now, she could have defeated the opponents in the same manner. Anyone who had experienced the marvel of Spiritual Detection Sharing couldn't help but be captivated by it. That's why she only praised Huo Yuhao, not Wang Dong.
Wang Dong laughed heartily and said:
"—Oh, come on! Just conserve your strength. These ten assessment matches are merely an appetizer. I alone am more than capable; we shouldn't let others fully grasp our true power."
Huo Yuhao chuckled and said:
"—Wang Dong is right. Xiao Xiao is our trump card."
Hearing them, Xiao Xiao also smiled and nodded in agreement.
"—Huo Yuhao's team wins."
Wang Yan announced the result, then bent down to record it in the official document.
On the other side, Ouyang Junyi's trio had also gotten back on their feet. Wang Dong had shown mercy, so they weren't injured, but their faces were flushed with shame and anger. In just a single second, they had been utterly defeated. Anyone in such a situation would be too embarrassed to linger. They quickly stood up and fled.
After Wang Yan recorded the match results, he cast another glance at Huo Yuhao's trio, thinking to himself, "This team is likely Class One's trump card. Teacher Zhou's method of educating her students is truly extraordinary!"
However, he still couldn't fathom what soul skill Huo Yuhao had employed. Moreover, he knew something that other students didn't: Huo Yuhao was the captain of this team, yet his cultivation was far inferior to both Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao. He was also a specially admitted student, not to mention that ten-year white soul ring. How could such a person be qualified to lead a trump card team? These two questions continued to swirl in his mind.
Wang Yan belonged to Shrek Academy's theoretical faction and was also a prominent figure in the moderate camp. His theories were robust, and his teaching abilities were excellent. One shouldn't underestimate him just because he appeared to be only around forty years old; within the Outer Court, he was considered one of the senior teachers.
At Shrek Academy, advancing a teacher's rank was several times more difficult than for students. For instance, Zhou Yi was merely a mid-level teacher—though, of course, this was partly due to her formidable teaching methods. Yet Wang Yan had managed to become a senior teacher, even qualified to instruct Inner Court students. This demonstrated his exceptional theoretical prowess. And still, he couldn't fully comprehend the flow of the recent battle, nor could he identify Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul.
After their match concluded, the three of Huo Yuhao did not leave, but stayed to observe the two remaining competitions. It wasn't until everything had finished that they bowed to Wang Yan and departed.
Wang Yan also did not call Huo Yuhao back to question him. He was certain that in the subsequent matches, he would definitely be able to discern Huo Yuhao's abilities.
The first assessment round quickly concluded. Today's assessment day was mainly for these new students to adapt to the environment. Tomorrow, the intensity of the assessments would begin to increase. They would have to fight four matches in the morning and afternoon, and on the third day, they would complete the remaining five matches. This was because the assessment period was only three days long.
This not only trained the students' practical combat abilities but also their physical endurance and long-term fighting capacity.
As the second day of assessments began, all the students of Freshman Class One wanted to express their heartfelt gratitude to Zhou Yi. Fighting four matches in one day meant soul power depletion that could no longer be considered normal; it was extremely severe. However, these students had undergone three months of Zhou Yi's grueling training, so this issue could not trouble them.
After observing those two matches, the three of Huo Yuhao were completely convinced that none of the other four teams were their opponents. Furthermore, apart from them, there was only one other student above level twenty. Under these circumstances, any other team that encountered them was not foolish enough to fight, and immediately conceded defeat.
Therefore, in the end, they smoothly won all five matches. With this achievement, they had qualified to pass the assessment, and thanks to it, their self-confidence increased by another level.
However, there was one person who was very unhappy with this result: none other than Wang Yan. He had absolutely no opportunity to clearly see Huo Yuhao's abilities. They simply repeated the same tactic: Wang Dong made his move, while the other two stood by and watched the show. How could a teacher specializing in theory like him not be frustrated by this?
"Huo Yuhao, the three of you, come here for a moment."
When the final match concluded, Wang Yan called the three of Huo Yuhao over.
"Teacher Wang."
Huo Yuhao walked in front, with Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao walking on either side, one left and one right.
Wang Yan thought to himself, "As expected, Huo Yuhao is the core member of this team."
"The three of you, achieving a perfect winning record after five matches, is very good. You must continue to strive to maintain this record in the subsequent matches to qualify for the ranking among the sixty-four strongest teams competing for positions. However, tomorrow's five battles will not be as easy as today's. A new draw will be conducted shortly, and teams with five losses will be immediately eliminated. This draw, in addition to preventing teams from the same class from being in the same area, will also consider the achievements of the past two days. Tomorrow, you will definitely still be in Area 33, and I will still be the supervisor, but your opponents could very well be one or two teams with achievements comparable to yours."
Huo Yuhao nodded and said:
"Thank you, Teacher Wang, we will do our best."
Wang Yan smiled and said:
"That's good then, go get some rest early."
He still did not ask what Huo Yuhao's martial soul was. He had his pride, and he believed that by continuing to observe, he would definitely find the answer himself.
"That was exhilarating! Five wins, as easy as slicing melons, haha!"
On the way back to the dormitory, Wang Dong said excitedly, "Fighting alone these past few days, I can say I'm completely satisfied."
Xiao Xiao said:
"Tomorrow it's my turn to fight, right? Oh, Wang Dong, I've noticed you've only been using your first soul skill so far. If we encounter a strong opponent tomorrow, I'm afraid you'll have to use your second soul skill. Your second soul skill comes from a thousand-year soul ring, and it can be considered the strongest attack in our team. It's best not to reveal it. Tomorrow, if such a situation arises, you and I will attack together, but we'll both only use our first soul skills. That way, we'll have two trump cards. What do you think?"
Wang Dong blurted out:
"Xiao Xiao, you're just itching for some action, aren't you? Alright, let's do that. I've had enough fun, now it's your turn to be satisfied."
Fortunately, no one was passing by while they were talking, otherwise, anyone overhearing Wang Dong's words might have misunderstood.
Huo Yuhao said with a smile:
"Let's go, I'll treat you to some grilled fish. I made a lot of profit yesterday."
As the three of them walked out of the assessment area, they ran into two other people. Seeing these two, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong couldn't help but be stunned.
The newcomers were none other than inner court disciple Ma Xiaotao and Xu Sanshi, whom she had taken away a few days prior.
Xu Sanshi no longer had his usual imposing aura. His face was ashen, like cold ashes, as if he had suffered extreme torment over the past few days. He looked utterly haggard, his clothes were wrinkled and crumpled, and his spirit was clearly quite low.
Ma Xiaotao was still as beautiful as ever, but her smiling face seemed to have an unusual flush, and her pale eyes were also more captivating.
"This is far enough, Sister Xiaotao, I can walk by myself now."
Xu Sanshi said with a forced, bitter smile. After suffering for so many days, he could finally return from hell to breathe the air of the human world. However, both his spirit and physical strength were almost completely depleted; all he wanted now was to go back to his dormitory and get some sleep.
Ma Xiaotao nodded and said:
"Alright, you can go."
She shifted her gaze from Sanshi to Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, her expression silently telling them, "You two, follow me." Her unreasonable demeanor couldn't help but make Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong feel a little nervous. What did Ma Xiaotao want with them?
Ma Xiaotao said indifferently:
"You two, follow me. Little sister, you can go back first."
Xiao Xiao was about to say something, but Huo Yuhao immediately looked at her and shook his head, signaling her to go first and assuring her that they would be fine.
It seemed Ma Xiaotao definitely had something in mind, and he didn't want to involve Xiao Xiao. Moreover, this was within the academy, so Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were both confident that Ma Xiaotao wouldn't dare to do anything to them.
Xiao Xiao was a little reluctant, but after a moment, she turned and left. Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were led by Ma Xiaotao to a path along the lake shore. After walking a bit further, they arrived at the exact spot where she had ambushed them previously.
Ma Xiaotao walked ahead, only stopping when they reached Sea God Lake. Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong maintained a distance from her. Wang Dong's face was full of vigilance, while Huo Yuhao felt uneasy in his heart.
"Sister Ma, why did you bring us here?"
Huo Yuhao asked.
Ma Xiaotao said, her back still turned to them:
"I know you must have recognized me. Yes, I am indeed the inner court student who ran out and almost killed you. I also had my own unavoidable difficulties. Here, first, I want to apologize to you."
Wang Dong pouted, muttering to himself, "Is this what you call an apology? There's absolutely no sincerity!"
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong exchanged glances and said:
"Sister Ma, this matter is already in the past, and the academy has compensated us."
Ma Xiaotao spun around abruptly, her pink eyes suddenly deepening by several shades. A powerful pressure instantly descended upon Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.
"However, for me, this matter is not yet over." Ma Xiaotao said in a deep voice. "That day, there must have been an ice-attribute soul master who intervened, which is why I couldn't inflict any harm on you. This person is very important to me. Tell me everything you know, or tell me who protected you. I must find him."
Wang Dong said, looking a little bewildered:
"Sister Ma, I don't understand what you're talking about. That day, when you attacked us, we were knocked unconscious by the heat from your body. We basically don't know anything about what happened afterward, and we certainly don't know who an ice-attribute soul master might be."
Huo Yuhao also nodded repeatedly. No matter what, he couldn't reveal the secret of the Heavenly Dream Iceworm.
Ma Xiaotao saw that their expressions didn't seem feigned, and a hint of hesitation flickered in her eyes.
The reason she sought out Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong was because after she returned that day, she suddenly remembered that these two students looked very familiar. She had once read the profiles of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.
Three months ago, thanks to the cold energy of the Heavenly Dream Iceworm remaining in her body, she was able to suppress her evil flame. During those three months, her cultivation had advanced considerably. After the cold energy disappeared, she could only seek out Xu Sanshi. However, she discovered that although the Xuanming Turtle was a top-tier Beast Soul, it was water-attribute, not ice-attribute, so its help to her became increasingly minimal.
Unable to suppress the evil flame, she absolutely had to stop cultivating. Moreover, the evil flame could erupt at any moment, causing her to lose her sanity.
After much thought, she decided to seek out Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong. If she could find the ice-attribute soul master who had stopped her before, her problem would be easily resolved.
"You truly don't know?" Ma Xiaotao asked in a deep voice.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong shook their heads simultaneously.
Ma Xiaotao's expression suddenly changed, and she said coldly:
"Then don't blame me for being impolite. If you don't know, then I'll force him to come out."
As soon as she finished speaking, a dense wave of heat surged forth. Deep red flames gracefully erupted from Ma Xiaotao's body.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong had felt something was amiss ever since Ma Xiaotao called them over, so they had maintained their vigilance. Furthermore, having suffered a loss last time, the moment Ma Xiaotao made her move this time, the two immediately reacted. They absolutely could not sit idly by and wait for death!
The wings of the Goddess of Light martial soul instantly appeared behind Wang Dong. At the same time, the two wings were covered in golden patterns, and a dagger appeared.
Huo Yuhao immediately unleashed Spiritual Detection Sharing and Soul Attack simultaneously.
Although only three months had passed, the cultivation of both Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong had increased significantly. Moreover, their coordination was extremely tacit. As soon as they started, Wang Dong immediately grabbed Huo Yuhao and flew backward.
Ma Xiaotao naturally hadn't expected it, because from the start she hadn't paid them any mind at all; they were just one with a single ring and one with two rings! As soon as she released her martial spirit, a red flame immediately enveloped her body.
Immediately after, Ma Xiaotao saw a purple light flash from Huo Yuhao's blue pupils. In that instant, she felt Huo Yuhao's gaze like two sharp needles piercing her soul, making her instinctively close her eyes tightly, and a momentary dizziness also appeared in her mind.
After the Purple Demon Eyes advanced, the power of the Soul Attack became even more potent, to the point that even a Soul Emperor like Ma Xiaotao couldn't completely resist it.
In the few seconds Ma Xiaotao was dizzy, Wang Dong had already taken Huo Yuhao and fled the forest, reaching the lakeside path.
"Return to the Teaching Building!" Huo Yuhao shouted, then threw a few things towards Ma Xiaotao. A series of whooshing sounds rang out; these were precisely the hidden weapons Tang Ya had given him. This was the simplest and fastest method for using hidden weapons.
The golden patterns on Wang Dong's wings simultaneously emitted a powerful airflow, his speed instantly increasing again, instantly carrying them both far from this place.
How could Ma Xiaotao let the two of them escape so easily? She basically didn't care about Huo Yuhao's hidden weapons. A pair of large red wings appeared, and all the hidden weapons were completely dissolved before they could even touch her body, turning into liquid and falling to the ground. A terrifyingly powerful heat enveloped Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's escape route.
Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection Resonance was a very powerful skill that could turn the tide of battle, but when facing an opponent like Ma Xiaotao, the disparity was immediately revealed. What good was precise judgment? Could it stop her?
Wang Dong wanted to quickly escape from here, but the heatwave behind them had already reached them.
If one were to observe from outside, they would only see Ma Xiaotao just beginning to pursue the two of them, her red wings appearing, her speed instantly soaring, and then with a whoosh, she was right next to Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.
Ma Xiaotao's two hands grabbed the collars of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong. Her terrifying soul power created immense pressure, causing both of them to completely lose the power to resist. Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao looked around in horror; everywhere was red flame, making it impossible to see the outside world. They couldn't even open their mouths to speak.
Ma Xiaotao waited with a solemn expression. After about thirty seconds, she frowned:
"Could it be that last time was just a coincidence?" She had made a move against Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong primarily to force out the ice-attribute soul master who had suppressed her previously. But this time, although she had outwardly completely defeated both Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao, that person still hadn't appeared.
Thinking this, she gently withdrew her martial spirit and soul power. All the surrounding flames instantly vanished, and Ma Xiaotao also returned to normal. She gently released her hands, tossing Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong aside. The two of them stumbled and fell to the ground.
Ma Xiaotao calmly said: "If that matter has nothing to do with you, then forget it. I know you are unconvinced. If you're unconvinced, then strive to cultivate diligently. When you can enter the inner court, then come and challenge me."
After saying that, she didn't even care about the anger in their eyes and simply walked away.
"What a lunatic."
Wang Dong cried out in anger.
Huo Yuhao stood up, then pulled Wang Dong to his feet. "Forget it, what's the use of cursing? It's better to go back and cultivate. That elder sister wasn't wrong; who told us our strength wasn't as good as hers? Let's go back."
Earlier, Huo Yuhao had clearly witnessed the entire process of Ma Xiaotao being defeated by the Tianmeng Iceworm, so he had vaguely guessed her objective just now.
Ma Xiaotao had no intention of killing the two of them; she merely wanted to force the Tianmeng Iceworm out. But even if Huo Yuhao hadn't guessed her objective, it wouldn't matter now, as the Tianmeng Iceworm couldn't appear! Big Brother had already fallen into a deep sleep, and he had also left a message that he wouldn't be able to possess and assist Huo Yuhao for a year.
The next morning, when Xiao Xiao saw Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "What happened to you two? Did that elder sister give you this appearance yesterday?"
Wang Dong interjected: "Of course not, that elder sister just asked us a few questions. Come on, let's go for the assessment."
It was ridiculous that he could even say something so absurd.
Because they had achieved a perfect record in all five matches, they would continue to stay in Zone Thirty-Three. They only needed to draw lots to form new groups and change teams before continuing the assessment.
This zone was not the most renowned, so the next five matches might not be overly difficult, but they certainly wouldn't be as easy to overcome as before.
Teacher Wang Yan glanced at the three, Huo Yuhao, and said: "Alright, everyone is here. Because Huo Yuhao's team had the best record in the previous five matches, they will be the seeded team for this zone. They will play the opening match. According to the draw results, I invite Huo Yuhao's team from Freshman Class One and Huang Chutian's team from Freshman Class Seven to enter the arena and prepare for the assessment."
When the two teams entered the arena, Huo Yuhao and his two teammates were immediately surprised to discover that the opposing team had two female disciples who looked exactly alike.
Both female disciples had long blue hair and delicate, pretty faces, looking extremely adorable. Their age seemed to be slightly younger than theirs.
"Twins?"
Standing in front of the two female disciples was a handsome male disciple with a tall and robust physique, who was clearly Huang Chutian, the captain of this team.
"I am Huang Chutian. On the left is Lan Susu, and on the right is Lan Luoluo. Please enlighten us."
"Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao. Please enlighten us."
Huo Yuhao replied.
Both sides immediately took their positions. On Huo Yuhao's side, they maintained their usual formation: Wang Dong at the front, Xiao Xiao in the middle, and Huo Yuhao at the very back.
On the other side, Huang Chutian stood at the front, with Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo behind him. Each team could only have a maximum of one Power Attack-type Soul Master. Clearly, these two sisters were not the main attackers; they were very likely dual support or dual control types, similar to Huo Yuhao's side.
Teacher Wang Yan shouted in a deep voice:
"Assessment – Begin!"
Both sides quickly released their Martial Souls. Huang Chutian let out a roar, slamming his two fists against his chest. He was definitely not yet twelve years old, but he was already over 1.5 meters tall. With his Martial Soul released, his stature surged even further to 1.8 meters. His robust body directly tore his uniform to shreds, revealing skin that had turned pitch black.
His two originally black eyes had turned yellow, and two fangs emerged from the corners of his mouth. His four limbs were extremely robust, each part of his body seeming to be forged from steel.
Two yellow Soul Rings simultaneously rose from beneath his feet. This individual was precisely a Strength Attack System Great Soul Master above level twenty.
The two twin girls behind Huang Chutian had also released their Martial Souls. To their surprise, both of their Martial Souls were their hair.
Beneath the feet of Lan Luoluo and Lan Susu, two Soul Rings also appeared, both a brilliant yellow. Their hair whipped up, fluttering in the wind, each strand rapidly lengthening. The hair floating in the air did not fall to the ground.
