Douluo Continent: The Evil-Eyed Dragon God, Many Women, Many Blessings

Chapter 104 What a pathetic display of youthful passion!
"Dai Huabin, Xiong Lintian, and Li Ameng are out!"

Smoke and dust filled the air as Elder Xuan called out names one after another.

Suddenly, Elder Xuan's voice became urgent: "Damn it! Huo Yuhao! You brat, don't go too far! Put away the fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shell!"

"Holy crap! Fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs?" Xie Huanyue, who was hiding at the edge of the arena, suddenly felt his scalp tingle when he heard Elder Xuan's rebuke.

"Huo Yuhao, I surrender! You can't just throw that thing around!" Xie Huanyue shouted as she ran off the field, still shaken.

Huo Yuhao chuckled and replied to Elder Xuan, "I took the wrong one, it's all a misunderstanding. How could I use a fixed-position soul-guided cannon in an internal sparring match? You're overthinking it."

As the smoke cleared, Bei Bei and the others saw Elder Xuan standing in front of the remaining students, his soul power surging, blocking all of Huo Yuhao's relentless attacks. The old man glanced at the armor-piercing bullets scattered on the ground, then looked at the half-eaten roast chicken in his right hand, his face turning ashen.

After throwing the remains of the roast chicken on the ground, Elder Xuan glared fiercely at Huo Yuhao. He then scanned the students around with his spiritual power and, finding no one injured, felt relieved and waved towards the outside of the arena.

Teachers Wang Yan, Mu Jin, and several others rushed over, looking at Huo Yuhao as if he were a monster. This guy treated an assessment like a battlefield; he was too ruthless! No wonder the academy didn't let him participate in the opening assessment!

"Those who are eliminated, go back. The seven of you stay." Elder Xuan's face regained its composure as he spoke calmly.

However, although the eliminated trainees all heard Elder Xuan's words, they showed resentment on their faces. None of them left; instead, they all focused their attention on Elder Xuan.

Elder Xuan raised an eyebrow: "What? You're not convinced?"

The field fell silent. Suddenly, Dai Huabin said in a gloomy tone, "Huo Yuhao won by relying on his soul tool, and he even almost used a fixed soul tool cannon. If it were based on his own strength, he might not have been able to defeat us."

Elder Xuan's brows twitched slightly. Like Dai Huabin, he was a traditional Soul Master who had never liked Soul Tools. Huo Yuhao's behavior did indeed seem to have a hint of trickery, after all, the things he used were all high-end products from the Soul Tool system in recent years, and with the addition of armor-piercing bullets, their power even surpassed that of Soul Tools of the same level.

However, the selection competition is not a game. The results have already been announced, and it is impossible to cancel and restart it just because of the students' doubts. Moreover, in his opinion, even without using a soul tool, Huo Yuhao's true strength is enough to defeat the remaining students without much trouble.

"The free-for-all is directed at each and every one of you. If it were on a battlefield, could you decide what methods the enemy would use? Absolutely not! The enemy isn't your father or mother, and they're not expected to cater to you in every way."

"I've already said there are no rules. Fight however you want. This free-for-all starts on equal footing for everyone. With your current mindset, none of you are qualified to become inner court disciples. This seemingly unfair free-for-all is actually the best way to test your overall strength. In this brief free-for-all, I've seen your teamwork, individual strength, hidden cards, and even your character." "The saying 'Those who are virtuous will find many helpers' is nonsense. To get help, you first need good interpersonal relationships, and secondly, you need brains and sufficient strength. A person with a withdrawn personality can't achieve great things. They can gather six people to defend and control the situation, buying themselves time to launch an attack. Why can't you?"

"These chaotic assessments are commonplace in the inner academy. If you don't even have this much reaction ability, what qualifications do you have to become an inner academy disciple? Do you know what kind of situation the inner academy disciples have faced during their most difficult times?"

"That time, twelve inner court disciples faced a 100,000-year-old soul beast after being separated from their teachers. Eight of the twelve died in battle! The four who survived are now among the top in the inner court, and one of them even obtained the soul ring and soul bone of that 100,000-year-old soul beast! Don't think that studying in the academy will make everything alright. If you want to truly become strong, even in the academy, you must be prepared to face life-or-death crises at any time."

Huo Yuhao pondered silently. Accidents were indeed unpredictable, but if all the disciples at that time had been equipped with various powerful soul tools, especially defensive soul tools, wouldn't the casualties and losses have been reduced?
Alas! Shrek Academy's millennia-long strength has long become a shackle, and prejudice has become an insurmountable mountain. After losing so many outstanding disciples, Shrek Academy's higher-ups still haven't paid enough attention to soul tools. How pathetic and lamentable!

Taking advantage of the situation, Elder Xuan continued to reprimand the young students with dramatic intonation, instilling the glory of Shrek Academy in them. Huo Yuhao remained calm, his heart undisturbed.

Before Shrek belongs to him, no glory matters.

After Elder Xuan's impassioned speech, all discontent vanished. The eliminated core disciples were filled with fervor, bowing their heads as they walked out of the Soul Battle Zone. Everything Elder Xuan had said that day was deeply etched in their hearts, perhaps unforgettable for a lifetime.

Huo Yuhao sighed inwardly. The youthful passion was truly the most foolish emotion in the world!

Huo Yuhao glanced furtively at Xiao Xiao, Di Qianqiu, Ning Tian, ​​and the others, and noticed that although they were also moved, they were clearly not as "deeply moved" as the others. Huo Yuhao felt somewhat relieved, as it seemed that the influence he had exerted on them had some effect.

As he watched the departing young students, tears welled up in Elder Xuan's eyes. He was truly remorseful and heartbroken over the tragedy of that year, but having grown up in an environment like Shrek Academy, wasn't he also a hot-blooded and foolish young man with a rigid mindset?
Being trapped in their predicament prevents them from seeing the problems at Shrek Academy. The times have progressed by ten thousand years, but Shrek Academy only wants to continue its past glory. Just like Moon lamented: This is not their problem, but the problem of the entire Shrek Academy.

Elder Xuan slowly turned around to face the seven of them: "You've all heard of the Shrek Seven Devils, right? Right inside the gates of our academy stand statues of the academy's founder and the first generation of the Shrek Seven Devils. But do you know where the title 'first generation Shrek Seven Devils' came from?"

Elder Xuan said in a deep voice, "Back then, when Flander, the four-eyed owl and leader of the Golden Iron Triangle, founded Shrek Academy, there were only a few teachers, and the number of students was even fewer than the number of teachers. At that time, Dean Flander put forward the slogan that our academy only accepts monsters and not ordinary people. However, how difficult it is to find monsters. It was not until the first generation of Shrek Seven Devils appeared that Shrek Academy finally became known to everyone."
