Chapter Sixteen: Rebirth Assessment (Four)

  Xu Sanshi became visibly flustered after seeing the woman in red, and even eating roasted fish didn't seem as enjoyable as usual. On the other hand, the woman in red slowly lifted her veil, revealing her stunningly beautiful face, and began to eat slowly.

  She ate very carefully, with elegant movements, but what shocked He Yu Hao and Wang Dong was that after the fish was eaten, the fish bones strangely disappeared from her hand, without leaving any trace. She had clearly been holding the fish in her hand to eat it, yet not a single drop of oil was left on her hand.

  What kind of ability is this? Huo Yu Hao and Wang Dong exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

  The two roasted fish were quickly eaten, the red-clothed woman nodded to Huo Yu Hao and said: "Your roasted fish is delicious, with a good flavor and a serious feeling. Let me see your martial soul."

  Her words had an irresistible flavor, and after the last explosion of flames in her body was suppressed by that strange ice attribute, she didn't need to be troubled by the overbearing evil energy of her own martial soul for three months. However, as time passed, the ice attribute aura was gradually refined by her own phoenix flames, and the counterattack began to appear again. She found Xu Sanshi because Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Turtle martial soul was currently the best water attribute martial soul among the students, and she could borrow some power to help herself suppress the evil fire in her body. This process was like tempering steel for Xu Sanshi, with only benefits but a very painful process. This was also why Xu Sanshi immediately made a bitter face when he saw her. He had been tortured not once or twice before.

  Huo Yu Hao's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and Wang Dong beside him was even more indignant, but he was stopped by Huo Yu Hao's raised hand. He slowly lifted his head to look at the red-clothed woman, a pale golden light flashing in his eyes, and as the pale golden light flashed, a layer of purple intent rippled in his deep blue pupils.

  In the Tangmen's ultimate learning, Huo Yuhao's progress was the fastest in the Purple Extreme Magic Eye. Every morning when he absorbed the purple energy from the east, his spiritual eyes would naturally produce a rainbow-like feeling. His one-day cultivation was better than BeiBei and TangYa's ten-day cultivation, so the Purple Extreme Magic Eye progressed extremely quickly.

  The red-clothed woman's long eyelashes slightly lifted up because she felt the magical spiritual probe sharing from Huo Yu Hao.

  As Huo Yuhao's cultivation level increased, the power of his soul ring also gradually began to strengthen. Just as Tianyu Ice Silk Worm said, the greater Huo Yuhao's endurance was, the more powerful the first soul ring he condensed would be.

  The original first soul ring, although it contained four skills, was equivalent to the effect of a 400-year-old soul ring. The current first soul ring, however, already possesses the power of around 600 years. The range that spiritual detection and spiritual interference can reach has reached a diameter of 50 meters, and is even more delicate and subtle.

  The first seal of Tian Meng Bing Xian in Huo Yuhao's body has been partially opened, and its powerful spiritual origin will naturally enhance the might of his first soul ring by a few degrees once his cultivation breaks through. This is something that other Soul Masters wouldn't even dare to think about. As Huo Yuhao's cultivation increases, his first soul ring will only become more terrifying in the future.

  The Tian Meng Bing Can didn't give Hao Yu a greatly powerful ability all at once, but it gave him a stunningly beautiful future.

  The spiritual probe was shared for only about ten seconds before being withdrawn by Huo Yu Hao. The red-clothed woman seemed to be stunned for a moment, then nodded towards Huo Yu Hao and took another deep look at the single white soul ring that rose from his feet, saying: "This is the strongest ten-year soul ring I've ever seen."

  Huo Yuhao naturally replied: "Even if it's stronger, it's still a ten-year soul ring."

  The woman in red smiled and said: "My name is Ma Xiaotao, nice to meet you. I'll come back to eat your roasted fish again if I have the chance. Little Xu, let's go."

  Xu Sanshi's face was bitter as he said: "Little Peach sister, can you take it easy today?"

  Ma Xiaotao gave him a faint glance, and Xu Sanshi immediately changed his tone: "No problem, I have no problem." As he spoke, he quickly walked ahead, making a guiding gesture to Ma Xiaotao.

  It wasn't until they entered the academy that Wang Dong said in a low voice, "Her name is really common."

  Huo Yu Hao said: "Can a name prove anything? Don't you think she looks a bit familiar?"

  Wang Dong was suddenly startled, "Could it be that person I met last time? The one in red clothes, could she be a disciple of the inner court?"

  Huo Yu Hao shrugged his shoulders, indicating he didn't understand.

  Ma Xiaotao and Xu Sanshi walked away, and immediately someone ran over to line up again. The person running in the front, a fourth-year student from Waiyuan, happened to hear the conversation between the two. He immediately lowered his voice and said: "You two junior brothers, keep your voices down. Inner courtyard disciples are not allowed to discuss casually, especially Xiaotao sister."

  Huo Yu Hao exclaimed in surprise: "Really from the inner courtyard?"

  "That's right. All the red-robed students in our Shrek Academy are from the inner courtyard. I don't know how many people are in the inner courtyard, but it's true that few of them come out. There is also a ranking within the inner courtyard, and the competition is fierce. This little Peach sister is among the top ten in the inner courtyard. Her strength is not something we can match. Xu Sanshi seems to have a good relationship with Little Peach, maybe one day she will recommend him to enter the inner courtyard."

  Wang Dong curiously asked: "Do I still need a recommendation to enter the inner courtyard?"

  The senior said: "That's for sure! But I'm not quite clear about the specific procedure. However, it is said that every external student who wants to enter the inner courtyard must have a recommendation from an internal student."

  The grilled fish sold very well, and when it was almost over, Beibei and Tangya came together, and Huo Yuhao took out the reserved goods he had prepared for them to eat the grilled fish.

  "Little brother, the new semester assessment is about to begin tomorrow. I got accurate news that registration will be in the morning and the assessment will start in the afternoon. You need to make preparations." Beibei was as gentle as ever.

  Huo Yu Hao nodded and said: "Senior brother, I will definitely work hard to pass the assessment."

  Babe smiled, and Tang Ya said, "Xiao Yu Hao, even the master can't eat so many roasted fish for free. Give you something good. It will come in handy later." As she spoke, she handed over a treasure pouch-like object to Huo Yu Hao. "When you get back, sort it out yourself into twenty-four bridges under the moonlight, and be careful when using it, don't hurt anyone. And after passing the new student assessment, you'll start learning soul guide device manufacturing. The teacher will teach you some ultimate skills later."

  "Thank you, Teacher Xiao Ya." Huo Yuhao took over the pouch and could probably guess what was inside.

  "Wang Dong asked curiously: "Teacher Xiao Ya, can't we use soul-guiding devices for new student assessments?"

  Tang Ya said irritably, "What kind of soul-guiding instrument? Don't you know what the Tang Sect is famous for?"

  When He Yu Hao and Wang Dong returned to the dormitory, they opened the treasure bag and took a look, but were still frightened. They were all hidden weapons. There were flying knives, flying needles, bone-piercing nails and more than a dozen other types, with over a hundred pieces of each type. This treasure bag could be considered an arsenal of hidden weapons.

  It's clear that Tang Ya prepared these for Huo Yuhao because his martial soul didn't have any attacking abilities. In the past three months, Huo Yuhao has made progress in the Tang Sect's absolute learning and has also started to study the Dark Instruments Hundred Solutions. He is clever and a quick learner, and now he has mastered two or three techniques. Normally using dark instruments to take aim is no problem for him. For these new students who only have one or two soul rings, they still pose a considerable threat.

  Wang Dong looked at the hidden weapons in Huo Yuhao's hands and curled his lip, saying: "This little Ya teacher clearly looks down on me. With me around, there's no need for you to take action."
