Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 62: Core Student Soul Bone Obtained
"Second place, Dai Huabin's team. Team members are Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and Cui Yajie. Step out."

Applause rang out again, but after Dai Huabin and the other two walked out, there was no excitement or joy on their faces. Cui Yajie was mentally traumatized and still a little weak, while Dai Huabin had a tense expression and lowered his head slightly, as if something was on his mind.

It seems that the situation in the final has been reported back to the family, and his family is very disappointed in him.

Although he lost in the original novel, he at least used the martial soul fusion technique, and he lost to Haodong's martial soul fusion technique that even the academy teachers were amazed.

But this time, from the very beginning of the game, they were beaten by Yuwen Tuo so badly that they didn't even have the chance to use their martial soul fusion skills. From beginning to end, there was almost no truly effective counterattack. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they suffered a crushing defeat.

If it were the Dai family ten thousand years ago, Dai Huabin would probably be in trouble. He obviously put the blame on Yuwen Tuo.

Yuwen Tuo didn't care about his thoughts at all, and he had never thought of joining the White Tiger Dai family.

At this time, Yan Shaozhe raised his voice slightly and said, "Now, please give a warm round of applause to welcome the final champions of our freshman assessment. They are the Yuwentuo team, and the team members are Yuwentuo, Lianyue, and Xiaoxiao."

Amid the cheers and applause of many first-year students, the three of them quickly stepped forward.

Yuwen Tuo didn't like Shrek, but he remembered that the reward for this championship was a soul bone.

Such a good thing should be rejected without any cost. It is won by your own strength without stealing, robbing, cheating or deceiving. Why should you pretend to be reserved and refuse it?

He himself may not be able to absorb it, but there will be no problem giving it to Xiaoxiao.

The top three teams all received a reward from the academy, which was a promise of an extreme soul beast lifespan.

For example, Xiaoxiao is now in her twenties. When she reaches level 30, the normal limit for hunting spirit rings will be more than 1,700 years. Then the academy will take her to hunt at least one spirit beast that is nearly 1,700 years old. Generally speaking, this is pretty good.

But this is meaningless to Yuwen Tuo. His uniqueness means that his spirit rings are destined to be super.

In this era, super-age spirit rings are no longer as rare as they were before. The leaders of major forces have spirit rings that are more or less different from the conventional configuration.

For Dai Huabin, it actually didn't mean much. After all, with his background, he couldn't get a good fourth ring? The limit was only about five thousand years.

Only the champion team is different. In addition to the soul ring promise, there is also a special prize, but the academy has not directly announced what it is.

After all, soul bones can be snatched away, so the fewer people who know about it, the better.

The academy only told Yuwen Tuo and others to go to the dean's office later to receive the special prize.

No student would object to Yuwen Tuo and his team receiving the extra reward. After all, Yuwen Tuo's prowess was evident to all, having defeated the teams led by Soul Masters Xie Huanyue, Ning Tian, and Dai Huabin. The three new Soul Masters were all defeated by him. It could be said that their victory was entirely without any trickery, and the additional reward was understandable given their performance.

Yuwen Tuo is now the best among the freshmen. Although his level is only mid-level, his actual combat ability is unmatched.

Yan Shaozhe continued, "The quality of this year's freshmen has surpassed that of the past. I hope you will keep up the good work. God rewards hard work. The better the talent, the more regrettable it is to waste it. Being eliminated is what you deserve. Our Shrek Academy is the number one soul master academy on the continent. This dean sincerely hopes that you can all graduate successfully. In view of the wonderful performance of a group of outstanding freshmen in this year's freshman competition, the academy has specially approved some students to become core disciples of the outer courtyard. Now I will announce the list." Shrek Square suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. They had no chance of winning the top three awards, but core disciples are not limited to the top three team members! As long as the students performed well in the freshman competition, they would have a chance to get it. As it concerns their own interests and future, these children listened attentively, for fear of missing their own names.

"Based on the performance of the new students in the assessment, the academy has determined that the core disciples who ultimately passed are: Yuwen Tuo, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Zhou Sichen, Cao Jinxuan, Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng."

Except for Yuwen Tuo and Xiao Xiao, everyone who heard the name was ecstatic, while those who didn't hear it sighed.

Huo Yuhao was filled with resentment. He had expected his team to lose so early. How could the academy possibly take a guy like him, who was less than level 15 and whose first ring was clearly white, seriously?

"Due to the fact that some new students, despite their current lack of talent, have also shown outstanding performance during the freshman assessment, the academy has decided to allow them to enjoy the same treatment as core disciples until the end of this academic year. If they show improvement during the promotion exam next year, they will have the opportunity to be promoted to full core disciples. The list is as follows: Lianyue, Cui Yajie, Huang Chutian, Long Xiangyue, and Nanmen Yuner. This announcement is complete."

Another list was announced, which can be regarded as the backup core.

Originally, Huo Yuhao should have been on this list. After all, no matter how bad he looked on the surface, at least in the original novel he led the team to win the championship of the freshman competition, instead of being in the top 16 now.

"Yuhao, are you okay?" Wang Dong asked in a low voice.

Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly, forced a smile, and said, "I'm fine. I really don't have the qualifications to become a core disciple. After all, I'm only a first-ring spirit master."

Wang Dong said anxiously: "No, that's not the case. They don't know how powerful your soul skills are..."

Seeing Huo Yuhao's depressed look, Wang Dong felt unhappy. He looked at the champion, Yuwen Tuo, who was standing at the front. If it weren't for him, this position would definitely belong to Yuhao, and then he wouldn't have to feel so disappointed.

After the number of core disciples was determined, the next step was to divide the classes. The entire first grade was divided into four classes. Class one was mainly for strong attack and control, class two was mainly for defense and agility attack, class three was for auxiliary soul masters, and class four was for various other special combat soul masters and weapon soul masters including the food system.

Undoubtedly, the strongest class was Class 1, to which Yuwen Tuo and Xiao Xiao were assigned. However, Lian Yue was assigned to the support department of Class 3, so the trio was separated.

It was Cao Jinxuan who joined the team in her place. He was from the control department.

After the class division was completed, Yuwen Tuo, Xiaoxiao and Lianyue followed Yan Shaozhe to the dean's office as requested.

"The three of you performed very well in this competition. The potential of this year's freshmen is far stronger than ever before. You are excellent for standing out from the crowd. This is the championship prize given to you by the academy, but there is only one, so you can divide it among yourselves." Yan Shaozhe didn't waste any time and handed a brown leather bag to the three of them.

Xiao Xiao knew that Yuwen Tuo and Yan Shaozhe had a grudge, and he hated this man, so he took over the captain's responsibility, stepped forward to take it, and thanked him, "Thank you, Dean!"

Yan Shaozhe nodded, "Well, practice well, you can go down."

The three of them turned and left. Yuwen Tuo glanced at Yan Shaozhe from the corner of his eye. According to his plan, it should be less than a year before he completely leaves Shrek, but within eight months. He had to go out early. Now that he had fulfilled his agreement with Ling Luochen, the next step was to use the chips in his hand to make a deal with Yan Shaozhe.
