"roar!"
The giant bear, roaring to the sky, rammed its paw into the massive cauldron that was crashing down on it. After knocking the cauldron in front of it away, it was then struck by two more massive cauldrons behind it. Amidst the booming sounds, blood began to seep from the bear's mouth as it panted heavily.
The giant cauldron that had been trapping the bear vanished instantly. Amidst the melodious sound of the flute, the bear, whose age had reached 920 years and was not far from a thousand, finally fell asleep due to its severe physical injuries and mental exhaustion.
As the giant bear fell asleep, Xiao Xiao, who had been wandering around while controlling her martial soul to interfere with and exhaust the giant bear's stamina, also let out a long breath and withdrew her martial soul.
After all this was completed, the 20 academy instructors on the main stage of the fighting arena began their scoring.
"Student Xiao Xiao, Control type, battlefield movement and evasion, 9 points, Martial Soul and Soul Skill combination and coordination, 8 points, combat mentality adjustment, 8 points, battle situation observation ability... score 8.9 points, excellent!"
The announcement of the judgment drew cheers from everyone in Class 2 of the new students. After all, Xiao Xiao was a second-ring Great Soul Master challenging a nearly thousand-year-old Soul Beast!
Outside the arena, the three who had reunited clapped each other to celebrate Xiao Xiao's success. Following the order set by each class, the next one would be Wang Dong.
"Be careful during the upgrade assessment later, don't be careless, understand?"
He gave Wang Dong a word of advice with concern, after all, his Dong'er was good in every way, but he was too impulsive.
The worried look in Huo Yuhao's eyes, like that of an old father, almost made Wang Dong explode. After glaring fiercely at Huo Yuhao, who was making his heart race after staring at him for a while, Wang Dong angrily turned around and entered the beast fighting area without looking back. Then, he directly chose a thousand-year-old soul beast as a test.
Before Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao could even see how Wang Dong would easily defeat a specially selected thousand-year-old wolf-shaped soul beast, a familiar aura approached, instantly causing Huo Yuhao to frown.
"Dai Huabin!"
"Huo Yuhao!"
The two half-brothers, upon their first meeting, instinctively exuded a murderous aura, perfectly embodying the phrase "tit-for-tat." However, facing Huo Yuhao, who had undergone a complete transformation from the inside out and was only one step away from achieving his final metamorphosis, the pressure from his spirit and mind ultimately forced Dai Huabin to suppress his imposing manner and speak first.
"I admit defeat in the freshman competition! But do you still dare to compete this time? I won't lie to you, if you lose, get out of Shrek Academy!"
During the break after the competition, he underwent rigorous training at Shrek Academy by his older brother, Dai Yueheng. Now, Dai Huabin was extremely confident, as his combat strength was almost on par with his two predecessors.
He wanted to completely crush Huo Yuhao, this rebellious concubine's son, until he faced reality! He wanted to break that spine of his that he found utterly repulsive at just one glance!
As a concubine, wouldn't it be better to obediently hide away like the other concubines and be a good dog of the White Tiger Duke's mansion?
She's just a mere maidservant, yet she dares to covet a title? She doesn't even know how to yield to her own mother? What right does she have?
The thoughts that surfaced in his mind were captured by Huo Yuhao, whose mental perception was extremely high at this moment. After a flash of real killing intent in his eyes, Huo Yuhao's lips also curled up slightly.
"Of course I'm willing to take this bet! But if I lose, I'll be kicked out of Shrek Academy. What about you? Fine, I won't cheat you. Just kneel down and kowtow three times to apologize!"
As soon as the words fell, the extremely strong mental pressure almost materialized, pressing down on Dai Huabin's heart. Dai Huabin, who had no idea that he had been ambushed by Huo Yuhao, was speechless and didn't know how to refute. Instead, the anger in his heart was stirred up and burned brighter and brighter. In the end, he ignored his fiancée Zhu Lu's obstruction and resolutely agreed with red eyes.
As the two, who may have been incompatible since birth, made their bet, the thousand-year-old wolf-shaped spirit beast in the arena was knocked unconscious by Wang Dong's hammer falling from the sky.
After the judges awarded Wang Dong an excellent score of 9.2 based on his performance, Huo Yuhao's name was finally mentioned.
"come on!"
"Um!"
Nodding in affirmation to Wang Dong as he walked out, Huo Yuhao then entered the arena and, in response to the examiner's questions, raised the difficulty of the battle against the spirit beast to the highest level of ten thousand years.
Then, amidst the excited, disdainful, thrilled, and gloating gazes of everyone, a 60,000-year-old ape-like soul beast burst forth from the dark passage.
With a loud roar, he silenced all the Shrek students who were still discussing, and then charged straight at Huo Yuhao.
"A gorilla? Do you remember the first soul beast I encountered? Wasn't it a wind baboon?"
Recalling his lifelong enemy, the beastman demigod who was just one step away from killing him, a wisp of black flame of lust, formed from the many emotions in his heart and the burning passion that had ignited in his heart that night, ignited directly in Huo Yuhao's hand.
His azure pupils turned silver-white, and a phantom of an evil-eyed tyrant appeared behind him. The numerous tentacles beside the large eyeballs moved casually, disturbing the rhythm of space, allowing Huo Yuhao to master instantaneous movement at the mere level three Soul Master.
A black streak of light flashed several times, dodging the giant ape's attacks. At the moment when the giant ape found a weakness in its eyes, Huo Yuhao, who had instantly disappeared, appeared directly in the giant ape's blind spot.
After the fist, wreathed in lustful black flames, slammed down, Pillow Giant Round collapsed to the ground amidst a heart-wrenching wail, its body frozen solid from the point of impact.
"He defeated the enemy in one move?"
"Wait a minute, didn't Huo Yuhao's evaluation report say he has a mental-type martial soul, with an estimated limit of ice attribute? How can he still use fire attacks? And he can even teleport?"
"It's a martial soul! He's awakened a second martial soul! And it's highly likely to be the Evil Eye Tyrant with spatial attributes! Quick, report this to Dean Yan!"
As expected, Huo Yuhao displayed his extremely strong martial soul and talent, his absolute sensitivity to opportunities, and revealed a killing move that was initially detached from the soul ring system.
Coupled with the fact that the giant ape soul beast, whose spirit was severely impacted by his direct punch and is now in a deep coma, received a perfect score from the judges for the first time.
Knowing full well that he could only contend with ordinary 20,000-year-old soul beasts at best, and that he might not even win, and that he was more likely to be killed, Dai Huabin finally knelt before Huo Yuhao under everyone's watchful eyes.
After kowtowing three times with bloodshot eyes, he tried to turn and leave.
"Wait, where's your apology?"
"…I'm sorry! I shouldn't have…"
"You should apologize to someone else!"
"Don't forget what your last name is?"
"My surname is Huo! Huo as in Huo Yuhao! Huo as in Huo Yun'er!"
