The red-robed woman in the secret chamber was the fire attributed six-ringed Soul Emperor who had almost brought disaster to Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong. If she was really around 20 years old on the surface, then her talent could no longer be simply described as amazing.
A twenty-year-old Soul Emperor ranked among the best in the history of the Douluo Continent's soul masters. It could even be compared to the first generation of Shrek Seven Monsters from Shrek Academy.
The old voice belonged to the white-robed old man who brought her here. Hearing his question, the red-robed woman called Xiao Tao shook her head in a daze." I don't remember. I only remember that there was a red color in front of me, and then there seemed to be a fatal threat. I rose up to resist, and then I returned here, right now.”
The white-robed old man frowned as he came before her and said in a deep voice,""How could you not tell me that you couldn't suppress the evil fire in your body? Do you know that this almost caused a disaster? Two outer court students almost died under your evil fire.”
Xiao Tao was stunned." I-I didn't know it would be so serious. I thought I could control it. But…"
The white-robed old man let out a long sigh and said,"The longer you suppress it, the more powerful it will be when it explodes." Xiao Tao, from now on, you should temporarily stop cultivating. Even though you're Shrek Academy's number one genius in several hundred years, I can't destroy you for the sake of the academy. If the evil fire destroys your consciousness next time, Teacher will regret it for the rest of his life.”
Xiao Tao said stubbornly," No, Teacher. I want to cultivate. I promise that I won't do it again." I could feel that the evil and heat of the evil fire had been completely suppressed. There would definitely not be any problems in the short term. However, what kind of power could actually suppress my Phoenix Evil Fire?”
"That's an extremely extreme type of ice element, the power of extreme cold." Its purity far surpasses your Phoenix Evil Fire, and it's somewhat similar to the Absolute Frost Breath of an ancient ice dragon. That's how you completely suppressed the effects of the Evil Phoenix Fire on your body. It's even better than any method we've ever used.”
"But, it's impossible for there to be an ancient ice dragon!" Xiao Tao said doubtfully. He definitely wouldn't be in our academy. Could it be that someone had infiltrated the academy?”
"I've already sent someone to investigate." The white-robed old man shook his head. I originally thought that it would be the people sent by the two students 'families to protect them. However, after checking, he found that there was no such possibility. The two students were called Dong Wang and Yuhao Huo. Huo Yuhao is a special enrollment student of the Tang Sect. I've asked Bebe about it. He and Tang Ya met each other in the Star Dou Great Forest and brought him back. His talent is average and he's an orphan. There definitely wouldn't be any experts following him to protect him. That Wang Dong had a very powerful background, but his background wasn't something that his ice element martial soul was good at. As for the academy, I've already checked many times. There are many students and teachers with ice attribute martial souls, but I've never seen such an extreme ice attribute martial soul. How strange."
"Teacher, forget it." You don't have to check."
"This concerns your future, how can I not be anxious?" the white-robed old man said. If he could find a possessor of an extreme ice attribute martial soul, and a male one at that. Let him become a good match with you, and you can resolve the negative effects of the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Spirit in your body. Only then can you truly soar to the sky in the future. But now, you are completely restricted. Not only would his cultivation speed decrease, but it would also endanger his life.”
Xiao Tao's pretty face blushed." I don't want to get married, and I don't want to marry someone I don't like for my martial soul.”
"The problem is that the evil fire can't be suppressed!" The white-robed old man sighed.”
Xiao Tao snorted and said,"I'll suppress it. I'm not getting married."”
"Ma Xiaotao, I won't acknowledge you as my disciple if you continue to do whatever you want."”
Ma Xiaotao, the old man in white, was furious. He immediately became much more obedient and said aggrievedly,"But, teacher, I…"
The old man in white patted her head." Silly girl, feelings can be cultivated, but you only have one life. Besides, you're so outstanding. No matter what, I will find you a good home.”
……
"Nan Nan, I bought you the grilled fish from that kid yesterday. Don't worry, I didn't use any violent means. I queued up to buy it.”Xu Sanshi stood in front of Jiang Nannan, who was about to go to the cafeteria, and said with a solicitous expression.
Jiang Nannan shook her head." No, thank you.”
"Do you think I was too violent yesterday?" Xu Sanshi asked tentatively. Actually, I'm not usually like this. It's only because of you that I…Nan Nan, I know that you have a grudge against me because of what happened back then. However, isn't it fate that we can meet again at Shrek Academy? I really like you, and I promise to be faithful to you.”
"I remember telling you that after that meeting, we each took what we needed and went our separate ways," Jiang Nannan said coldly. There is no possibility of any interaction between you and me. Xu Sanshi, you're a noble, why do you have to make things difficult for me? I can't give you anything. Please don't interfere with my life in the future. Otherwise, I will report this to the academy. Please don't bully other students because of me.”
After saying this, she turned around and was about to leave, but Xu Sanshi stopped her and said angrily,"I bullied other students? Don't you know how badly I've been bullied by Bebe? The one who grilled the fish yesterday was his junior brother. He took the opportunity to cheat me of two Mystic Water Pills. Tang Ya also gave me a Dragon Beard Needle, so my waist is still bruised. What's so bad about me? You just won't give me a chance.”
"You've been to that kind of place at such a young age. What's so good about you?" Jiang Nannan said coldly.”With that, she turned around and left. This time, she jumped up with three yellow soul rings flickering on her body. Her ears seemed to have grown longer and her figure seemed to have become more slender. With just a slight exertion of strength from her pair of long legs, she flashed ten meters away and left quickly without looking back.
Xu Sanshi stared blankly at her back for a while before biting the grilled fish in his hand fiercely." Xu Sanshi, you're really useless." What's so great about it? I'll eat it myself. Eh, this grilled fish tastes really good.”
……
Huo Yuhao, I didn't expect you to be so good at grilling fish." How about this? I'll treat you to a meal every night, and you treat me to grilled fish. How about that?”Wang Dong said excitedly as he savored the fragrance and freshness of the grilled fish.
"You can't eat grilled fish every night, can you?" Huo Yuhao laughed. No matter how delicious the food was, one would get sick of it after eating too much.”
"It's fine, I don't care," said Wang Dong. Let's eat until we're satisfied. It's settled then. I want to eat four tomorrow night. Two isn't enough! Besides, there are so many people queuing up today. I think you should add more. It wouldn't take too long anyway. Otherwise, before you could sell it, it would all be digested internally.”
At this time, the two of them had already returned to the dormitory area after selling the grilled fish. After eating dinner in the cafeteria, they returned to the dormitory.
"Eldest Senior Brother gave me another Mystic Water Pill. Wang Dong, do you think it's better for me to eat this first or eat the Soul Rising Pill now?”Huo Yuhao asked Wang Dong as he took out the Dark Water Pill and the Soul Rising Pill. Wang Dong was clearly more knowledgeable than him in the field of medicinal pills. After obtaining two more precious pills, Huo Yuhao was really anxious. If he could convert these two pills into his own cultivation, he would not fall behind the other students in his class.
Wang Dong thought for a moment and said,"If it's my suggestion, you'd better not be in a hurry to eat these two."”
"Why?" Huo Yuhao asked in confusion.
" Think about it," Wang Dong said." You just consumed a Profound Water Pill yesterday, and a lot of the impurities in your body have already been expelled. The medicinal power of the Profound Water Pill will stay in your body for a period of time and be digested along with your meditation. If you consume other pills at this time, although the effect will be good, it will ultimately waste some medicinal power. The Dark Water Pill and the Soul Rising Pill could be described as heavenly treasures. Such a precious medicinal pill naturally had to be put to good use. I suggest that you cultivate for about ten days first. After your body has completely absorbed the medicinal effects of the first Profound Water Pill, you can take the second Profound Water Pill to further improve your physique and increase your soul power at the same time. After you have fully absorbed the medicinal effects of the two Mysterious Water Pills, your physique and meridians will have a significant improvement. After his body was unobstructed, he would naturally be able to obtain the greatest benefits by consuming the Soul Rising Pill.”
After listening to Wang Dong's analysis, Huo Yuhao felt that it made sense." Thank you for telling me. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to take it. What about you?" Today?"
Wang Dong nodded and said," I'm already at rank-21. My constitution and meridians are in excellent condition. It's naturally the most suitable for me to absorb the Soul Rising Pill. I'll eat it now. One night is enough for me to digest the medicinal effects. Hehe, I'll be at least rank-22 tomorrow, or even rank-23. Didn't Senior Sister Xiao Ya say that she would let me join the Tang Sect after I obtained the first place in the entire grade in the first assessment for new students? After eating this pill, my chances are much higher. Alright, I'll start now. You can cultivate on your own.”
As he spoke, he took out the walnut-sized Soul Rising Pill and brought it to his mouth. He gently took a bite and immediately, an extremely rich and fresh fragrance gushed out from the pill. Wang Dong gently inhaled and immediately, a green liquid was sucked into his stomach through the hole. He did not let go of the pill's outer shell and directly put it in his mouth to chew and swallow.
At this moment, the room was filled with the mellow fragrance of nature. Huo Yuhao felt his mind clear, and all the pores on his body opened up. An indescribable excitement spread throughout his body. He did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly sat cross-legged to cultivate with the opportunity of his soul power being fully mobilized.
After the cleansing of his tendons and marrow with the mystic water pill, Huo Yuhao felt that his current cultivation was simply a form of enjoyment! Soon, he entered a meditative state. Mysterious Heaven Skill circulated freely within his body, soaking his entire body. At the same time, it was also slowly but steadily improving.
Wang Dong's body began to glow with a faint green light. A rich refreshing scent lingered in the room. Huo Yuhao absorbed a portion of it, while Wang Dong breathed in more. Under the stimulation of the Soul Rising Pill, his soul power was currently rising at an astonishing speed.
After the first two days of school, Huo Yuhao's academic career stabilized and he gradually became famous. His fame naturally did not come from his strength, but from his unique skill of roasting fish. Almost all the students and teachers who had tasted Huo Yuhao's grilled fish were full of praises.
Huo Yuhao's grilled fish had increased from 20 to 30 per day, but it was still far from meeting the needs of the students and teachers. However, he was unwilling to continue increasing it. After all, he wanted to leave more time for cultivation.
In order to eat a grilled fish, many students rushed out to line up after school. Moreover, because of the high demand for grilled fish, they had no choice but to limit the purchase to one per person. But even so, Huo Yuhao never raised the price. He received unanimous praise from the students and made many friends.
The number one beauty of the outer court, Jiang Nannan, finally had a chance to eat grilled fish. She had queued up to buy it herself. What was more interesting was that although Xu Sanshi failed to please Jiang Nannan with grilled fish, he also liked the taste and became Huo Yuhao's loyal customer.
In the blink of an eye, the first three months of study for the new students had passed. Under Zhou Yi's strict and perverted guidance, it could be said that new student class one had completely changed. However, what shocked the higher ups of the academy was that after three months of baptism, there were still sixty-seven students left in the freshman class one with Zhou Yi as the form teacher. This was very different from the academy's estimate of only one-third of the students remaining.
In the past three months, Huo Yuhao had changed the most.
When he first entered the academy, his spirit power was merely rank eleven, and he had just obtained a spirit ring not long ago. His own ability was absolutely the last in the entire academy, without a doubt.
However, three months later, Huo Yuhao had completely changed. Ever since he became the class monitor of the new class, no one had ever competed with him for the position.
It wasn't because Huo Yuhao was so powerful that no one could beat him. It was because of his god-like spirit that made all the students in class one admire him from the bottom of their hearts. This was also an important reason why the freshmen class one was still able to retain two-thirds of the students under Zhou Yi's strict teaching.
Huo Yuhao was really hardworking. Almost all the teachers who had taught freshman class one knew about his existence. No matter when the class started, whether it was in the morning or in the afternoon, no matter what class it was, there would always be a pair of eyes focused on the teachers, listening attentively to the teachers 'explanations.
His talent was not outstanding, and his ability was not very strong. However, he was always the most serious one.
Zhou Yi's strictness was second to none in the entire academy, but even she couldn't find any fault with Huo Yuhao. Her cruel and long physical training was a painful torture for students of the same age. However, Huo Yuhao could not only persist until the end every time, but he also practiced every night.
It was one night when Zhou Yi discovered it. That day, she happened to have something to do and went out. When she returned to the academy, it was already late at night. When she passed by Shrek Square in front of the teaching building, she was surprised to find a figure moving slowly on the running track of Shrek Square. The faint sound of chains clashing could be heard from her body.
When she focused her eyes, she saw a naked figure drenched in sweat. The iron clothes on his body had long been soaked in sweat, and every step he took was so heavy that Zhou Yi even noticed that a string of water stains were left on the track.
This figure was not tall, but his steps were steady and persistent. It was Huo Yuhao. That time, Zhou Yi was deeply shocked. He actually practiced in the middle of the night.
Zhou Yi stopped Huo Yuhao and asked him what he was doing. Huo Yuhao only told her that since she was not talented, she should work harder than others. Meditation after physical training seemed to help her improve faster.
Zhou Yi even suspected that Huo Yuhao knew that she was out today, so he made it for her. But soon after, she dismissed the idea. This was because no matter if it was windy or rainy, a figure like this would quietly appear on Shrek Academy's square every night and run for more than four hours.?Moreover, the iron clothes on his body had gradually changed from one to two.
After all, they were in the academy. Although Huo Yuhao didn't tell anyone, his classmates still knew about it. Other students had tried to run with Huo Yuhao in the middle of the night, but none of them could last more than three days. He had already been studying hard during the day. If he continued to practice in the middle of the night, this was no longer ordinary physical training. It was simply torture to his body!
However, Huo Yuhao persevered through this torture. He was able to do what others could not, and his godlike attitude was recognized and admired by all the students in the class. And under Zhou Yi's strict requirements, Huo Yuhao persisted for three months and became one of the 67 students who stayed in class one.
Diligence can make up for stupidity. It was a very simple word, but how many people could really do it?
Huo Yuhao had done it, so he had gained something. That's right. Two Dark Water Pills and one Soul Rising Pill were the main factors that had helped him improve his cultivation base in just three months. However, he didn't just improve his soul power, but also in all aspects. Whether it was knowledge or skills, after three months, he had undergone a complete transformation.
He was originally slightly shorter than Wang Dong, but now he was about the same height as Wang Dong. His body was also clearly much sturdier. He did not have exaggerated muscles, but if one exposed his upper body, one could see that his body was very well-proportioned, and every muscle seemed to contain sufficient explosive power.
More importantly, Huo Yuhao's constitution had undergone a tremendous change in the past three months. The change was from the inside out, and it was not simply because of the two Dark Water Pills.
After he had a special understanding of Mysterious Heaven Skill, Huo Yuhao told Tang Ya and Bei Bei about it. However, Tang Ya and Bei Bei couldn't produce the power to nourish their meridians like he did.
The reason why Huo Yuhao trained his physical strength every night was because the nourishing effect of Mysterious Heaven Skill would only appear after his physical strength and soul power were completely exhausted. Every time he felt the nourishment, his meridians would expand slightly. However, this feeling had become weaker and weaker as time passed. Moreover, his cultivation speed had also been greatly enhanced.
After taking the second Dark Water Pill, Huo Yuhao's cultivation speed had increased by seven times, and the impurities in his body had been further eliminated. After these three months of cultivation, the meridians in his body continued to widen and become tougher. Now, his cultivation speed was about ten times faster than before. What a shocking improvement!
After the second Dark Water Pill was consumed, Huo Yuhao's soul power increased by a whole rank, from the peak of rank-12 to the peak of rank-13. After some time, Huo Yuhao took the Soul Rising Pill. Sure enough, the Soul Rising Pill's effect on increasing soul power was even more impressive. Huo Yuhao's soul power had broken through three ranks in a row and had broken through another bottleneck, stagnating at rank-17.
At this point, Huo Yuhao's cultivation had reached the average level of the students in the class. What was even more valuable was that he had relied on his own cultivation to continue improving his soul power in the past three months. Today, three months later, he had already reached the peak of rank-17 and was about to break through to rank-18. This was because he had broken through too quickly through the medicine and needed to stabilize his foundation. It could be said that his current talent was no longer the trash he was when he first arrived at Shrek Academy.
" Physical education class is suspended for today." Zhou Yi stood behind the podium, her old face still wearing a lukewarm look, but as long as it was her class, almost all the students would sit up straight, and not a single one would dare to make a move.
"It has been three months since school started. You will also welcome your first test to enter Shrek Academy. Only after passing the examination can you officially become a first-year student and become a true member of Shrek Academy. If nothing unexpected happens, you can continue to cultivate in the academy until the first-year graduation examination. The assessment is about to begin tomorrow. Today, I will first tell you the main points of the assessment.”
It was rare for Zhou Yi's voice to be relatively calm. Her gaze swept past the sixty seven students below, and she was actually very satisfied in her heart. The quality of this batch of students might not be much stronger than the previous students, but after three months of training, their willpower had definitely surpassed any class that Zhou Yi had ever taught. For Zhou Yi, this was definitely a pleasant surprise. Huo Yuhao, the class monitor, had played a very important role in leading the way.
"Huo Yuhao."
"Yes." Huo Yuhao stood up instantly and answered respectfully.
It had been three months. Huo Yuhao's respect for Zhou Yi was definitely from the bottom of his heart, not because of Zhou Yi's strength. Zhou Yi would often come up with some strange tricks in teaching, and sometimes even torture the students to the point where they felt like they were better off dead. But it had to be said that Zhou Yi's teaching ability was extremely strong, and the effects of those strange moves were much better than they imagined. It was because of this that not only did the appearance of the God of Freshmen Class 1 change, but the 67 students who remained had an additional rock-solid aura.
Huo Yuhao had also observed the students from other classes, but he did not see the same temperament. Just as Bei Bei had said, although Zhou Yi was strict, as long as one could persevere under her guidance, then one would definitely be able to become an outstanding student, or even become a true expert in the future.
Zhou Yi waved at Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao quickly walked to the front of the podium and took the stack of papers from Zhou Yi. Without Zhou Yi's instructions, he quickly distributed them to every student in the class.
"After the new student assessment, we have to teach them according to their aptitude." Write down your future cultivation direction and give it to me later.”
The cultivation direction she was referring to was, for example: Assault, defense, control, support, these were the Spirit Master's categories. Everyone could be together for the first three months of teaching, but once the first year began, there would be some differences. After all, the cultivation tendencies of different types of soul masters were very different.
Huo Yuhao went back to his seat and was the last to write down his goal. He wrote, of course, that he was a control-type soul master and signed his name below. However, he did not notice that Wang Dong, who was beside him, had only started to write her own inclination after glancing at what he had written.
Zhou Yi said," All of you are students that I have taught. Although the new students will be re-assigned to different classes after the assessment, I hope that all of you brats will not forget what I have taught you." Hand in your papers after class. Now, let me tell you the key points of the new student assessment.”
As she spoke, Zhou Yi turned around and walked towards the blackboard, drawing a few simple lines on the blackboard. He wrote the word 'battle' on the blackboard.
"Battle. That's right, the freshmen assessment was about fighting. Moreover, it was a battle that everyone had to participate in. I know that the Tool Spirit Masters among you, especially the auxiliary system and food system Tool Spirit Masters, will be very curious. Why do you also want to participate in the battle? I'm not wrong. You guys will indeed appear on the battlefield, just like soul warriors. Even though Shrek Academy nurtured comprehensive talents, the most important thing was still their ability on the battlefield. On the first day of school, I said that with the emergence of soul devices, the classification of soul masters has already become blurred. Even if you're an auxiliary system or food system tool spirit master, you can similarly rely on your spirit tool to burst forth with formidable battle prowess. But where did your fighting instincts come from? Could it be that a soul master could foolishly enter the battlefield and survive just because he was given a soul tool? Of course not. Combat ability had to come from fighting. "Therefore, all of you must undergo the combat assessment.”
"Of course, the Academy absolutely won't let auxiliary system Tool Spirit Masters compete with power attack system Spirit Masters, that would be unfair to you. Thus, the freshmen assessment would be conducted in a group battle. However, the number of people will not be too many. In the end, it has been decided that the scale of this year's team battle will be three people per team. This is a high standard for your age to produce a certain degree of teamwork. When splitting up, the requirement is to have at most one power attack system soul master. The other two team members casually made them. First of all, the students in the same dormitory will be considered as a team. The rest will be formed by you. Those who cannot complete the formation will be decided by drawing lots. Later on, I will give you a more reasonable plan for the division.”
"The new student assessment will be conducted in the entire grade. Due to the number of students in our academy over the years, there are close to three hundred groups of students participating in the new student assessment this time around. However, only half of them will be able to stay. Which was the top 150 groups. This ranking is based on your battle points.”
"The competition will be conducted by drawing lots. Each group of students will have to fight at least ten battles. In the end, they would be ranked according to their victories. Among them, the top 64 teams would be eliminated, and the top four teams would receive different rewards. The rewards for the champion team would be extremely rare.”
Every student was listening attentively. To them, the freshmen assessment was the key to whether they could stay. Once they were eliminated, they could only return to the academy that was one rank lower. They would probably never be able to become the top powerhouses on the Douluo Continent. They had been working hard for three months. No one wanted to be eliminated at this time.
"Our class currently has sixty-seven students. We can divide them into twenty-two groups, with one extra person." I've categorized you according to the characteristics of your respective spirits, and after careful analysis, I've completed the grouping for you. If anyone is not satisfied, you can change it when you go back. However, when I finally register tomorrow morning, no one will raise any objections. In that case, you must strictly follow my arrangements. Otherwise, you all know the consequences.”
"Song Qinghan." Zhou Yi said in a deep voice.
"Yes." A skinny student quickly stood up. He had always been inconspicuous in class, and obviously did not expect Zhou Yi to be the first to call him.
"The form teacher of each freshman class can propose a specially-recruited student to directly pass the assessment. The person I chose is you. After my observation of you, I believe that you're more suitable to continue cultivating in the soul guidance system. Is there a problem? You have two choices now. You can either join the Soul Guidance faculty or pack up and leave.”
Domineering, he was really too domineering. All the students 'gazes fell on Song Qinghan.
"I'm willing. Thank you, Teacher Zhou." Song Qinghan, however, did not resist Zhou Yi's strength at all, and was so excited that she almost jumped up. His goal in coming to Shrek Academy was to enter the soul guidance system!
Zhou Yi made a gesture to him, indicating for him to sit down." Let's start dividing into groups. The first group consisted of Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiaoxiao.”
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong stood up almost at the same time. They had originally planned to be in the same group, but when they heard Zhou Yi personally put them together, the two of them looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
A female student sitting in the front row stood up with them. This female student wasn't tall and looked very petite. Like Song Qinghan, she wasn't particularly outstanding among the students of Class One. It seemed that her abilities were around the average.
The little girl wasn't particularly beautiful, but she was pretty and very patient. With a shy look on her face, she turned her head to look behind her. However, her eyes ignored Huo Yuhao and landed on the increasingly handsome Wang Dong. She blushed and lowered her head.
"Group two, Zi Hao, Ma Qingshuang, Coold.”
"The third group…"
Zhou Yi went up strong, but after her grouping was announced, every student felt a sense of relief.
Huo Yuhao observed the students coldly and couldn't help but praise them in his heart. Mr. Zhou was usually so cold and strict, but in fact, he knew every student very well. It was obvious that she had arranged them into groups.
