Volume 1: Tian Meng Bing Can Chapter 27: Enemy? Brother? (Part 2)
Xuan Lao shook his head and said, "You should know what's most important about the original body of a martial soul. It's potential, it's the martial soul's ability to change and adapt in battle. Today's match made it very clear that under that kind of pressure, his martial soul didn't show any variation, which means he doesn't have the essence of an original body martial soul. He's too old, his soul power isn't enough, and his first soul ring is only ten years old. Even if he has pretty good potential, it's still not what I'm looking for, do you understand?"
Wang Yan still had some unwillingness in his tone: "But, Xuan Lao, I just found out yesterday that Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong have already completed their martial soul fusion, and can use the martial soul fusion technique. Although I don't know what their martial soul fusion technique is yet, isn't this enough to prove his talent?"
Xuan Lao shook his head and said, "The fusion of martial souls does not represent everything. Alright, I've made up my mind. The other two little ones can be used as alternatives, but as for Huo Yuhao, forget it."
As he spoke, he stood up, one hand grasping his own chicken wings and the other hugging a large wine gourd, swaying back and forth as he walked. Looking at him with that stumbling gait, it seemed as if he might fall over at any moment.
Looking at the back of Xuan Lao, Wang Yan couldn't help but sigh. He knew Ho Yu's question, but he still felt that this young man had a different kind of temperament. Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were far more excellent than him on the surface, yet he was able to lead them in competitions and become the team's true core - why was that?
"Could it be that my judgment was really wrong? No, I won't give up. In any case, I must do my best to cultivate Huo Yu Hao. When he achieves some success, it's not too late to find Master Xuan."
The new student assessment elimination match has come to an end, and the top eight teams have been determined after this morning's competition. Undoubtedly, they are all excellent teams. What is unexpected is that both teams led by free soul masters were eliminated. More surprisingly, they were eliminated by the same team.
The knockout stage is down to the last eight teams. When Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong arrived at the competition venue in the afternoon, they instantly attracted intense attention from the other seven teams. Clearly, no one wanted to meet this team that had already defeated two of the biggest favorites in the round of 16, even though they only had two people left.
The power of Hao Winter was indeed amazing, and with the help of Hao Yu, after more than two hours of cultivation, Wang Dong's soul power had fully recovered. Moreover, due to his all-out effort in the morning, plus his diligent cultivation recently, his soul power broke through to level 25 at once.
While waiting for the lottery draw, Huo Yu Hao asked Wang Dong in a low voice: "By the way, what skill did you use at the last moment this afternoon?"
Wang Dongdao said: "The fusion of the winged blade and the butterfly god's light is my strongest attack. That evil fantasy moon's martial soul, if I'm not mistaken, should be a rare beast martial soul called Pipi Xiang. This martial soul has extremely strong defensive power from birth. His first soul technique should be Elephant Body, later the arm-lengthening soul technique should be Elephant Nose, and the last soul technique with powerful group control should be Elephant Fury or something like that. To break through his defense, which is like a ball, ordinary attacks are definitely not enough. There are only two ways: one is extreme attribute attack, such as high-temperature flames or ultra-low temperature freezing; the other is extreme sharpness. I used the butterfly god's light to urge the winged blade, just to break through his defense with sharpness. That guy was fixed by Xiao Xiao at that time, giving me enough time to accumulate power, and I have confidence that one blow can break through his martial soul."
Listening to Wang Dong's explanation, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but secretly admire him. In terms of knowledge about soul masters, although he had studied hard for three months, there was still a significant gap between them! This further solidified Huo Yuhao's determination to work hard and cultivate his skills.
"Huo Yu Hao team, come forward to draw lots." Director Du Weilun's voice startled Huo Yu Hao from his thoughts, and he hastily walked up, taking a lottery number from the lottery tube in Du Weilun's hand.
Du Weilun took a close look at Huo Yuhao and thought to himself, "This student indeed has his own strengths. A Spirit System Soul Master is extremely rare." Unfortunately, he's still below level 20, so the possibility of him obtaining a powerful soul ring in the future is too low. Otherwise, he should have the qualifications to be a core disciple! Let me observe him some more. If he can continue to pass the academy's assessments and stay on, by the time he reaches the fourth or fifth year, it should be clear whether he has what it takes to become a core disciple of the Soul Master department.
"Number three." Du Weilun took over the drawn lot from Huo Yuhao and loudly announced it.
Among the teams that had already completed the draw, one team's complexion suddenly changed, and Huo Yuhao's drawn object was actually them.
Huo Yu Hao returned to Wang Dong's side, "If there's a one in seven chance of drawing the last team with a Soul Master again, I think we can consider going to say goodbye to God."
"What god is he worshiping?"
"Haha, of course it's the Sea God. Isn't that ancestor the true symbol of our Shrek Academy?"
Wang Dong put his right hand on his shoulder, "Hey, there's nothing to laugh about. When it was 32/3, the probability of drawing was less than one in ten, and we drew. When it was 16/2, the probability of drawing was less than eight in one hundred, and we also drew. Now it's 7/1, the probability is even higher than before, what do you think our chances of drawing are now?"
After hearing this analysis, Huo Yu Hao's face suddenly turned sour, "It can't be that unlucky, right......"
It turned out that luck does exist, but it will never be all good or bad. Among the opponents they drew this time, there was no Soul Master.
Both sides faced each other in the assessment area, calling out to each other. This time their opponents came from Class 9 of the newcomers. All three were Soul Masters above level 20. Relatively speaking, it was also a very strong team. But compared to the teams that Huo Yuhao and his friends had defeated in the previous two matches, there was still a gap.
"Two weak attacks and one strong attack. This is such a combination, really no energy. How to do?" Wang Dong whispered in Huo Yuhao's ear.
Huo Yu Hao's eyes flashed with a hint of light, "Bring it on."
"Okay."
The two people's tacit understanding has become higher and higher, after a simple exchange, the match has begun.
Both sides simultaneously released their martial souls, but Wang Dong, as a strong attack-type soul master, did not directly charge out this time. Instead, he flapped his blue wings and floated up, with his second purple soul ring flashing brightly.
Huo Yu Hao grasped Wang Dong's ankle from below, the faint golden light in his eyes was completely overshadowed by the radiance emitted by Wang Dong at this moment.
Only then did Wang Dong see that the golden light patterns on the Double-Winged Butterfly Goddess's wings were all lit up, and under the infusion of Hao Dong's power, a hint of orange-red was added to the golden light patterns.
This time, at the closest distance, without any interference, Huo Yu Hao clearly felt that Wang Dong's second soul skill, Butterfly God Light, was not a beam of light, but a cluster of lights. Each small piece of golden light would have a cluster of light shooting out, with a total of about several dozen or so. The next moment, the orange-red light flashed brightly across the entire field.
