Chapter 22 Freshman Conference
Even the caster was injured by the backlash, not to mention Dai Huabin who was the attacked.
The moment the soul shock touched Dai Huabin, the soul power shell condensed on the outside of the soul shock collided with Dai Huabin's own protective soul power.
Although there was a huge gap in soul power between Huo Yuhao and Dai Huabin, Dai Huabin's soul power at this time was only in a state of instinctive body protection, and he did not use soul skills to condense it.
The power of Huo Yuhao's mental attack at this time was equivalent to an attack soul skill of two or three thousand years old. Even though the strongest point of this soul skill was not the restraint on soul power protection, it was definitely not something that an attack-type soul master's instinctive soul power protection could resist.
As the soul shock penetrated Dai Huabin's brain firmly, Dai Huabin, who had not even opened up his own spiritual sea, naturally had no power to resist at all, rolled his eyes and fainted.
At the same time, due to the damage to the brain, blood oozed from all of Dai Huabin's seven orifices. If he was not a strong attacking soul master with an excellent martial soul, this soul shock alone could even turn a person into an idiot.
On the stage, Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo, who were always paying attention to Huo Yuhao, noticed this scene.
Because of this powerful soul shock, Huo Yuhao's eyes suddenly lit up with a platinum-gold light, which was noticed by many people. Then, Dai Huabin, who had been charging forward with his head down, fell to the ground.
"Very good, very good. This should not be the soul skill of this little guy Huo Yuhao. His first soul skill has been reported before. It should be an insight-type ability." Yan Shaozhe praised on the viewing platform.
As a Super Douluo, Yan Shaozhe roughly glanced at the stands and almost understood what Huo Yuhao had just done. People at their level could naturally feel the fluctuations of mental power.
He also discovered that although Dai Huabin looked extremely miserable, in fact, the mental attack of that level could not possibly harm the essence of a strong attacking Soul Master, so he had no intention of stopping the game.
"It seems that this is a self-created soul skill that he created based on his own martial soul and took advantage of his own mental strength."
"He seems to have matured the idea of gathering his mental power and using soul power as a carrier to strike hard at the enemy's mind and brain. This is not something he came up with temporarily. I'm afraid he will be able to win in battles with low-level soul masters."
After saying that, Yan Shaozhe looked at Qian Duoduo with a hint of sarcasm, and his meaning was very clear: Old Qian, stop thinking about that. I didn’t know that I was almost fooled by you. Now don’t even think about luring Huo Yuhao to your soul guide department.
Having been against Yan Shaozhe for decades, Qian Duoduo naturally understood what Yan Shaozhe wanted to say but didn't say when he saw this situation. His eyes twitched, and he snorted coldly and left with a flick of his sleeves.
Looking back at the battlefield, seeing Dai Huabin suddenly fall to the ground unconscious, Zhu Lu was a little at a loss for a moment as the Netherworld Cat, an accessory of the Evil-Eyed White Tiger and a synthetic material of the martial soul fusion skill, hurriedly tried to help Dai Huabin up.
But at this time the invigilator had arrived and stopped Zhu Lu's actions. He first quickly took Dai Huabin off the field for inspection and found that there was nothing serious, so he did not continue to interfere with the progress of the competition.
Although Huo Yuhao consumed a lot of mental energy in order to launch the soul shock, it was not a difficult task for him to temporarily distract the Netherworld Spirit Cat at the level of a great soul master.
An endless stream of hidden weapons were thrown out from Huo Yuhao's hands as if they had eyes.
Although Zhu Lu was agile thanks to the Netherworld Cat's martial spirit advantage, she was unable to escape the pursuit of the hidden weapons.
Hidden weapons fell on Zhu Lu like raindrops. Even though she possessed the Nether Spirit Cat, which was considered to be a top-level agility-attack spirit, Zhu Lu could not get close to Huo Yuhao at all.
Afterwards, she could only watch as Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao quickly dealt with Cui Yajie and then helped Huo Yuhao to get rid of her.
It looked complicated, but actually it only took a few minutes. The final match of the freshman assessment, which was originally highly anticipated by the Shrek people, was resolved in such a completely unspectacular way.
This also made all the teachers watching the game feel like they were hitting cotton with their fists.
Although this did prove the strength of Wang Dong's team, what they wanted to see was a more intense fight between dragons and tigers!
Otherwise, like Dai Huabin’s elder brother, Dai Yueheng, although he is also an evil-eyed white tiger, he does not have a Netherworld Spirit Cat to match him, so he has been a loner in the academy all these years.
Although he had chosen a fiancée from the Zhu family, their martial souls could not be integrated, so they each specialized in the cultivation direction of their own martial soul categories. After all, forcing them to be together would only slow down each other's cultivation speed.
As a result, Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu were in a bad situation. After they came on the court, they didn't even have time to show the Evil-Eyed White Tiger, which the Dai and Zhu families were proud of, and they were defeated by others. What was going on?
Du Weilun, the director of the Martial Spirit Department of the External Academy, coughed twice and then flew off the stage: "Very good, now I announce that the final champions of the freshman assessment elimination round are the team of Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao, and Xiao Xiao!"
"This freshman assessment has been successfully concluded. We will hold a freshman meeting tomorrow morning to award prizes to the top three teams and divide the first-year students into classes. Okay, everyone, go back. I'm sure you must be tired from the battles these past few days. Take a good rest."
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao both raised their hands and cheered.
“We won.”
“We are the champions.”
Huo Yuhao also smiled, and he cheered with Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao and hugged each other, but even so.
But he was just trying to behave in a way that was appropriate for his age group.
As the class teacher, although in fact everything depended on the qualities of the examinees themselves, Zhou Yi still came to Huo Yuhao and the other two and showed them a rare smile of satisfaction.
At this time, the drowsy Dai Huabin had been rescued by a healing soul master and had regained consciousness. Although his mind was still not very clear, he looked at the cheering Huo Yuhao and others, as well as his class teacher who came to comfort him.
There was only cold hatred in Dai Huabin's eyes. He believed that the championship should be his! Why was it taken away by someone else! This time he was just careless. Next time, next time, he will definitely not lose!
Huo Yuhao did not care about the loser’s thoughts. After all, according to Dai Huabin’s character, there were only a few things he could do, either to stir up trouble or to act without regard for the consequences.
No matter what Dai Huabin wants to do, Huo Yuhao will not be afraid. After all, the trump card of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm on him is still very powerful in the early stage, not to mention the backup hidden energy source of Alex.
“Okay, let’s go back first.” Huo Yuhao said to Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong, who were now a little calmer.
"Well! I will also tell Sister ya and the others this good news!" Wang Dong said excitedly.
“By the way, Huo Yuhao, let’s have a meal together tonight! Let’s celebrate with Sister ya and the others!”
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao nodded: "Okay, no problem here."
Now, Huo Yuhao’s value has been demonstrated in the eyes of the top leaders of Shrek Academy. The next step is to deepen the ties with Shrek Academy to achieve the effect Huo Yuhao wants. After a night of celebration, under the temptation of Tang Ya, Xiao Xiao also joined the Tang Sect, but in Huo Yuhao's eyes she was insignificant, although Tang Ya is now the leader of the Tang Sect.
However, whether in terms of strength or talent, Tang Ya is far from being able to support the framework of a real sect. Once her own strength is fully developed, Huo Yuhao can naturally use the Tang Sect to lay eggs.
Isn’t that what Shrek Academy did ten thousand years ago? If they can do it, why can’t Huo Yuhao do it?
The next morning, the sun was shining brightly, and all the freshmen who had passed the assessment gathered at Shrek Square.
With the arrival of Du Weilun, the director of the Martial Spirit Department of the External Academy, and more than a dozen teachers, the freshman meeting officially began.
With a smile on his face, Du Weilun began to announce the awards received by the top three students at the freshman conference one by one.
"The third place in the freshman assessment is from Huang Chutian's team. Team members Huang Chutian, Lan Susu, and Lan Luoluo step out."
"The second place in the freshman assessment is from Dai Huabin's team. Team members Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and Cui Yajie are on the list."
"First place in the freshman assessment, Wang Dong's team. Team members Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao, and Xiao Xiao step out."
It’s just that the expressions of the three team members are different.
Huang Chutian, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo all had excitement and excitement on their faces.
Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie all looked rather ugly.
Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao had faint smiles on their faces. In Dai Huabin's eyes, their smiles were so dazzling, as if they were slapping him in the face intentionally or unintentionally.
As the first-place team finally appeared, at Du Weilun's signal, the entire audience burst into warm cheers and applause, congratulating the top three winning teams. As for how much of the cheers were sincere, it was unknown.
"Okay, I'm announcing a reward for the top three teams in the freshman assessment. Each of the top three teams can make a request to the school when they need a spirit ring, and the school will assist them in obtaining a spirit ring that they can afford and is the most suitable for them."
Upon hearing this, the first-year students were all amazed, but in Huo Yuhao's eyes, this reward was really child's play.
After all, it is impossible to want the horse to run and not eat grass at the same time. Not to mention that the so-called auxiliary hunting souls usually refer to soul rings less than ten thousand years old.
The most important thing is that among any soul master family or force with a little background, there are many who will not try their best to obtain the most suitable soul rings for their sons and daughters.
Among the teams that can become the top three in the freshman assessment, apart from the rare idiots, how many freshmen with strong cultivation have no background or opportunities of their own and have cultivated to this point purely as civilians?
After the exclamations died down for a while, Du Weilun continued, "In view of the excellent performance and undefeated record of the champion team throughout the competition, the college is preparing to issue an additional special reward."
"This special reward will be kept secret for the time being. After the division is over, you can come with me to claim it."
After Du Weilun had given his fans another round of fancy talk, today's freshman meeting finally got down to business.
"Okay, everyone, return to your team and continue the freshman meeting."
After Huo Yuhao and the others returned to the team, Du Weilun began to announce the list of core disciples of the outer courtyard martial arts department this year.
"Based on the performance of the new students in the assessment, the academy finally approved the core disciples: Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao, Xiao Xiao, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Zhou Sichen, Cao Jinxuan, Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, Ning Tian, Wu Feng."
"In view of the fact that some freshmen, although lacking in talent and ability, have also performed well in the freshman assessment, the academy has decided to allow them to enjoy the treatment of core disciples for the time being."
"Until the end of this school year, if you can make a breakthrough in the upgrade exam next year, you will be considered for promotion to official core disciples. The list is as follows: Cui Yajie, Huang Chutian, Long Xiangyue, and Nanmen Yuner."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao nodded slightly. In this way, at least he could use the resources of Shrek Academy to solve his urgent problem. Since he did not pretend to be a pig like in the original book, wasn’t it for this moment?
At least Shrek Academy did not pretend to be blind, but gave normal treatment to Huo Yuhao, a core disciple.
But to be honest, what Shrek Academy did in the original novel is also quite crazy just like it is now. The resources required to become a so-called core disciple are just a drop in the bucket for the huge Shrek Academy.
In the original novel, Huo Yuhao was the champion of the freshman assessment. Even if his performance was terrible, making him a core disciple of the Martial Soul system would only cost a little more resources.
As a result, Shrek Academy gave the original owner the treatment of a core disciple, but did not include him in the status of a core disciple.
It can only be said that this was done in order for Huo Yuhao to have the identities of a dual core disciple of the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Guidance Department in the future.
But none of this matters now. Huo Yuhao is definitely not going to spend time in Shrek Academy to learn the soul guide technology that was eliminated by the Sun Moon Empire.
Moreover, the resources brought by the identity of a core disciple of the Martial Soul Department alone are definitely enough for him to get through the most difficult early stages.
After the identities of the disciples were announced, the second graders were divided into classes. Class one consisted of the strong attack department and the control department, class two consisted of the defense department and the agile attack department, class three consisted of the auxiliary department, and class four consisted of various other special departments including the food department and the healing department.
