Douluo Peerless: Eye of Truth

Chapter 15 The Eve of Freshman Assessment



Chapter 15 The Eve of Freshman Assessment

Unknowingly, three months had passed. Perhaps because Huo Yuhao had avoided the incident at Seagod Lake, no other incidents occurred here.

During this period, Tang Ya and Bei Bei often exchanged feelings with Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, the two new members of the Tang Sect, and at the same time inspected their mastery of the Tang Sect's unique skills.

And every time Huo Yuhao could give them different kinds of surprises, but they didn’t know that these so-called surprises were the result of Huo Yuhao’s best efforts to suppress them.

After three months of nourishment through soul power and the spiritual power of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, the originally narrow and blocked meridians in Huo Yuhao's body have been completely unblocked and stabilized, and the speed of cultivation has been greatly improved on the original basis.

Moreover, due to the improvement of Huo Yuhao's physical fitness and the re-solidification of his meridians after being warmed up, Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm has been trying to open up those subtle meridians that have not been included in the soul power circulation by the operation route of Mysterious Heaven Skill under Huo Yuhao's instructions.

Huo Yuhao used the Eye of Truth to spy on the way other soul masters’ soul power operated, and gradually pieced together how to use soul power to impact and clear other miscellaneous meridians.

Although there is no systematic method of running meridians in Douluo Continent except for Mysterious Heaven Skil, each family has its own way. Even if all the unconventional ways are added together, it will be almost the same if you put them together.

With the help of the soul power gathering array and the soul power transformation array, as he gradually controlled and opened up those tiny meridians, Huo Yuhao discovered that the solidity of his soul power had undergone a huge change compared to the soul power cultivated through simple Mysterious Heaven Skill.

'This should be the so-called opening of the eight extraordinary meridians in the first Douluo Continent, and the materialization of soul power, but this change is actually because the soul power of the whole body has finally been connected and condensed, forming a complete cycle.'

'In fact, it can only be regarded as the release of soul energy, but not as a physical entity. This can be regarded as the first step in the subsequent condensation of the soul core.'

"However, the spiritual power of ordinary soul masters at this stage is completely unable to support them to achieve full penetration."

'The original version of Mysterious Heaven Skill was probably just a trick, using the eight extraordinary meridians as the main trunk, connecting and penetrating the whole body, and eventually gradually affecting the qualitative change of one's own soul power, completing the first step of gasification and externalization.'

'The current version of the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Skill has completely lost this effect. It can only speed up the operation of soul power, but there is no subsequent step. It is no wonder that the Tang Sect has fallen to such a state.'

"Although I can now reverse the complete version of Mysterious Heaven Skill, it is no longer necessary. After all, what I have practiced now is stronger than the original Mysterious Heaven Skill. When Tang San was at this level, he did not have such a huge mental support."

'Although with my current training method, even if the average soul master has reached the Soul Saint level, it is probably difficult to complete such a detailed and in-depth operation of soul power.'

'The reason why Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was able to do this without consuming much mental energy was because of a trick.'

"If I continue like this, I will soon be able to open up all the meridians in my body, even those minor meridians that have little effect. "

'When all the meridians in my body are connected, my soul power should be much stronger than the so-called pure Mysterious Heaven Skill.'

"To use the words in martial arts novels, the Mysterious Heaven Skill that opens up the eight extraordinary meridians should be the image of the small Zhoutian where all the meridians are open, and now that I have opened up all the meridians in my body and integrated them into one, it is the state of the big Zhoutian."

"But I am not cultivating immortals in the world of immortal heroes, so I don't need to study the effect of this cultivation system in detail. I just need to know that this method can speed up my cultivation."

After these three months, even without the Xuanshui Pill and Shenghun Pill in the original novel to replenish his body, Huo Yuhao's cultivation had already reached level 17, approaching level 18.

Although Huo Yuhao’s current cultivation level is slightly inferior to that in the original novel, his actual cultivation speed is much faster than that of the original owner at the same time. After all, he is not taking drugs.

He increased his soul power by five levels in three months. Others simply thought that Huo Yuhao's physique was particularly suitable for Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Skill. In addition, Huo Yuhao's own soul power level was relatively low. After all, Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Skill was famous for its training speed.

It was normal to be able to achieve such an achievement at the soul master level. The seventeenth level of soul power had just reached the minimum level of most Shrek students today, at least it would not be too conspicuous among the other students.

"The physical fitness class is suspended today." Zhou Yi looked at the fifty-five students present with an expressionless face. Without the influence of Huo Yuhao, the number of students now is more than a dozen less than in the original novel.

The number fifty-five was also specifically reserved by Zhou Yi to ensure that three-person assessment combat teams could be formed. At the same time, there was another student who was separated out and was a student she was optimistic about and joined the Soul Guidance Department.

"Three months have passed, and Shrek Academy's first assessment for you is about to begin. Only by passing this assessment can you officially become a first-year student and a member of Shrek Academy."

"If you pass this assessment, and if nothing unexpected happens, you will be able to stay in the academy and continue your studies before the first-year graduation exam."

"The assessment will begin tomorrow. Today I will focus on explaining the key points of the assessment to you."

"Wang Dong, pass them out." Zhou Yi handed a stack of papers to Wang Dong, who then quickly distributed them to everyone present.

At this moment, everyone was feeling a little nervous, and most people knew what Zhou Yi was going to say next.

"After the freshman assessment, we will teach students according to their aptitude. Write down your future training direction and hand it to me later."

Huo Yuhao did not hesitate and directly wrote down the Agility Attack Department. He was determined to be a nobody in Shrek Academy and not attract attention.

Wang Dong on the side poked him secretly, but Huo Yuhao ignored him.

Zhou Yi then began to explain in detail a series of matters regarding the freshman assessment, including the rules for the teams and the criteria for passing the assessment, and finally the grouping of martial spirit categories.

As expected, Zhou Yi used the special recruitment quota of the freshman class teacher to recruit a student to the Soul Guidance Department.

Looking at the unfortunate child who was still jumping for joy on the spot, Huo Yuhao shook his head secretly. But it made sense. Apart from coming to Shrek Academy, it was impossible for people from the three empires to join the Sun-Moon Empire to learn soul guides.

In the original Douluo Continent, although the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy was not very good, it was much better than the private colleges in the other three empires.

Zhou Yi then continued to group the students.

"Group one: Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao, and Xiao Xiao."

"The second group."

The grouping was completed quickly, and during these three months Huo Yuhao also learned a lot about some of the students in the class, especially the composition of their martial spirits and soul skills.

As Xiaoxiao is a relatively famous character in the original novel, he naturally paid special attention to her.

However, unlike in the original novel, when Xiao Xiao first entered school, he had not yet added a spirit ring to his second martial soul. It was only because of Zhou Yi's brutal training that he began to waver in order to avoid being eliminated.

However, Huo Yuhao still gave her a few extra tips and warnings. After all, in Huo Yuhao’s opinion, the advantages of Xiao Xiao’s twin martial souls should not be wasted. This was different from Huo Yuhao, who had acquired twin martial souls or even triple martial souls.  

The innate twin martial souls are of extraordinary significance to ordinary soul masters, and can also bring them advantages beyond their peers. They should not be wasted, and Xiao Xiao himself is also worth winning over.

After hearing her group, Xiao Xiao turned around and smiled at Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao behind her. But the funny thing was that, just like in the original book, Xiao Xiao at this time seemed to be fascinated by Wang Dong's appearance.

"Okay, that's it. I'll give you a day to think about it. If you have any opinions, please report them as soon as possible."

"Hand in your intentions for cultivation and you can leave school. Don't embarrass me in tomorrow's freshman assessment. If anyone is eliminated, don't blame me for not warning you in advance."

Zhou Yi's cold tone was particularly horrifying to everyone's ears.

"Okay, school is over. Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao, Xiao Xiao, the three of you stay for a while."

After looking at the three people's cultivation tendencies, Zhou Yi's eyes changed slightly and then said: "Wang Dong, can you explain to me what your Agility Attack System means?"

"Aren't the first two spirit rings of your martial spirit both strong attack spirit rings? Apart from your pair of wings, how can you be agile in attacking at all?"

Afterwards, Zhou Yi saw Huo Yuhao's training tendency and a look of realization appeared in her eyes: "No wonder, Huo Yuhao, you also want to go to the Agility Attack Department?"

Huo Yuhao nodded: "After all, my first soul skill is mainly for assisting myself, and I don't have the ability to attack or assist. Combined with the Tang Sect's methods, I think the agility attack system is more suitable for me."

Zhou Yi's face changed slightly when she heard that. After all, she was going to be the head teacher of Class 1 in the second grade. In her eyes, Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao were both good seedlings, and were linked to her own educational achievements. How could she let them go like that?

As for the control system submitted by Xiao Xiao, it was not something worth paying attention to at this time.

So Zhou Yi said, "Okay, Wang Dong, change it back quickly. Why would a good strong attack system soul master go to the agile attack system?"

"As for you, Huo Yuhao, I recommend that you consider it carefully. Your martial soul is a spiritual martial soul, and it is not good at strengthening the body."

"Even if you have the unique skills of the Tang Sect, your disadvantages will become more and more obvious as you progress on the path of a soul master. You might as well try to understand the concept of a control-type soul master, just like your ancestor, Seagod Tang San. It's not bad to be a generalist, isn't it?"

"Well, okay, teacher, I agree." Although he wanted to refuse, he looked at the golden runes emerging from Wang Dong's sea of ​​​​spirituality.

Huo Yuhao finally held back. Tang San just wanted him to have more contact with his precious daughter. Fine, he could have more contact with her, but I, Huo Yuhao, would remember this grudge.

"Okay, let me continue." Zhou Yi showed a satisfied look in her eyes and continued, "This freshman assessment is only your first assessment in the academy."

"But it is very important for your future cultivation path, and it is also an opportunity for you to show yourself in front of the academy's top management."

"Only those who rank well in the freshman assessment and perform well can appear on the academy's training list. I am most optimistic about the three of you."

“Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, Huo Yuhao, I will give you a task. You have only one goal in this freshman assessment, and that is to become the champion.”

“If we can’t win the championship again, then starting from the second grade, you will stay with me and I will teach you well.” Zhou Yi sneered.

Although he was speechless in his heart, Huo Yuhao was too lazy to refute and just nodded. The other two also quickly agreed.

"I really don't know how Zhou Yi had the nerve to issue this task, but with the abilities I have now, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with this freshman assessment. The soul bones are just right to see what the soul bones are made of."

"Okay, you three go back and get yourself in shape."

Walking out of the classroom, Xiao Xiao quickly said to Wang Dong: "Wang Dong, I want to..."

Wang Dong quickly pushed Huo Yuhao aside and said, “Xiao Xiao, Huo Yuhao and I are going to go back and prepare for tomorrow’s game. Come on!”

Seeing Wang Dong's fleeing back, Xiao Xiao stomped her feet in anger.

"Why, are you shy?" Huo Yuhao joked.

"Damn it, did you know this situation in advance and that's why you didn't leave on purpose!" Wang Dong said gritting his teeth.

"After all, I would like to see if the young lady who disguised herself as a man joined Shrek Academy as a boy because she was interested in the little girl."

"Damn it, stop talking! I'll kill you if you say another word!" Wang Dong said in shame and anger.

During the three months of getting along, Wang Dong had already learned a few days ago that Huo Yuhao had discovered her daughter's body, so Huo Yuhao naturally would not hide anything.

Although he felt ashamed and angry, Wang Dong still did not move out immediately. After all, he didn't know what other students would gossip about him.

And personally, Wang Dong didn’t actually want to move out. After all, during these three months, she had become more and more interested in Huo Yuhao.

It seemed that Huo Yuhao always looked like he was in control of everything, even though he was usually lazy and just often read a lot of books and didn't practice much.

But at the critical moment, he was able to overwhelm everyone and astonish everyone, which made Wang Dong curious about him.

After all, Huo Yuhao discovered his biggest "secret", but his understanding of Huo Yuhao seemed to always remain on the surface.

"So how did you find out my identity?" Wang Dong asked puzzledly.

"Read more books and newspapers. There is a boring book in the library of the outer courtyard. It is the 100 most beautiful martial spirits on the continent. On page 13, the Goddess of Light Butterfly is known as the most beautiful butterfly martial spirit on the continent."

"Although the content of this book is a bit nonsense, the Light Goddess Butterfly mentioned in it represents that all soul masters are female. Add to that your daily behavior, and it is enough to infer this."
