Douluo: Twin Origins, Suppressing the World

Chapter 77 Ten Thousand Years
After the first day of enrollment, there will be an upgrade assessment.

The content of the upgrade assessment is very simple. Students can choose soul beasts of different ages in the Colosseum to fight.

The Academy's judging panel will score the selected soul beast based on its age, strength, and combat performance in battle.

This is different from the previous assessment battles.

When students fight against each other, everyone knows that the other side will not kill them, so the psychological pressure is not that great.

But it’s different when fighting against soul beasts. These soul beasts don’t know what holding back means.

They are truly aiming to tear the enemies in front of them to pieces!
Of course, there will be teachers standing by ready to protect you at any time, so it’s not that threatening.

But the feeling of oppression is real.

According to convention, the original period for selecting soul beasts should be between one hundred and one thousand years.

But for some reason, this time the academy lifted the limit of one thousand years.

In other words, this time the students can even choose the top of the Colosseum, the ten thousand year soul beast!

Of course, it is highly unlikely that anyone would do this.

After all, for these freshmen who are not even Soul Masters on average, let alone fighting against ten thousand year soul beasts, even if they fight against five thousand year soul beasts, they will most likely be defeated.

Many first-year students speculated that the reason for the changes in the academy this year was most likely due to that person...

After all, apart from that one exception, who among all the first-year freshmen would be brave enough to confidently challenge a soul beast that is more than a thousand years old?

"Here comes the one!"

Amidst the noisy sounds and numerous gazes, three figures walked into the Colosseum.

Ling Shuang, dressed in white, was in the middle, with Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er, who had come to the door early in the morning, on either side.

The three people with extraordinary looks and temperament instantly became the focus of the audience as soon as they appeared.

None of the three showed any fear of being the center of attention.

Ling Shuang and Wang Dong'er have gotten used to it.

As for Wang Qiuer...

In her eyes, these students were probably no different from lifeless vegetables, so naturally she would not be afraid of them.

The three of them sat in the waiting area.

"Squad leader, who is this?" Nanmen Yuner saw Ling Shuang from afar and walked towards her.

She noticed Wang Qiuer, who was sitting on Ling Shuang's left with a cold expression, and a hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"Distant cousin." Ling Shuang answered without any hesitation.

"Huh?!" Her beautiful eyes widened instantly. Nanmen Yoona's reaction was the same as Yan Shaozhe and Du Weilun's before, both full of disbelief!

She looked at Wang Qiuer, then at Wang Donger, and finally turned her gaze back to Ling Shuang.

This……

Are you sure?
Ling Shuang remained expressionless in the face of Nammen Yoona's surprised look.

He has developed the ability to tell lies without blinking.

Seeing this, Nammen Yoona didn't ask any more questions, but just sat down quietly next to Wang Donger.

at the same time
Dai Huabin also noticed Ling Shuang in the waiting area.

His expression changed at first, then calmed down.

Dai Huabin naturally had resentment towards Ling Shuang.

But he knew that he had no ability to deal with Ling Shuang, so he could only suppress this resentment in his heart.

but……

Just as Dai Huabin was about to leave and sit down, a figure blocked his way.

Dai Huabin was stunned and frowned slightly as he looked at the skinny figure blocking his way.

It took an effort to recall the identity of the person in front of me.

Isn’t this the guy who only had his first soul ring for ten years?
"Get out of the way." Dai Huabin, who was already in a bad mood because of Ling Shuang, didn't speak in a good tone.

He pushed Huo Yuhao away and walked straight forward.

He always looked down on the weak, and Huo Yuhao was one of them.

Dai Huabin's behavior undoubtedly angered Huo Yuhao.

A hint of crimson flashed in his eyes, and his voice rose a few degrees.

"Dai Huabin!" This voice made Dai Huabin stop and also attracted the attention of many students, including Ling Shuang who had already taken a seat.

Ling Shuang looked over here with interest.

He originally had no opinion about the original protagonist, but things changed after the incident with the Ice Emperor in the Far North.

Although Huo Yuhao didn't know about his relationship with the Ice Emperor, he was still a participant after all.

Ling Shuang would be very happy if Dai Huabin could teach him a lesson.

"Dai Huabin, do you dare to bet with me?"

Here it comes, the classic skill of the Tang family protagonist.

Tang Fozu is the most classic one. By activating this skill, people can accept the bet without thinking.

It is the same for Dugu Bo, Tai Tan, Qian Renxue and others.

Huo Yuhao was defeated by Dai Huabin's team in the freshman assessment competition, and a lot of negative emotions accumulated in his heart.

Now that he has undergone transformation with the help of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, the first thing he wants to do is to get back at the enemy.

"What are you betting on?" Dai Huabin accepted the betting invitation from the protagonist of the original novel without any doubt.

Even though he actually had no reason to accept the bet.

"Betting on the score, the score of this upgrade assessment!"

"Oh?" Dai Huabin was stunned. He obviously didn't expect that this last-place person would actually bet with him on this.

If it were before, he would naturally have no interest in having such a gambling fight with Huo Yuhao, whom he considered a weakling.

But he was not in a very good mood at the moment and needed a breath to vent his emotions.

"Since it's a bet, there must be a stake. I don't think you have a stake that can move me."

"How about this, the loser kowtows three times to the winner, how about that?"

Dai Huabin didn't think he would lose.

Since this weakling is looking for trouble with him, he will teach him a profound lesson.

Huo Yuhao didn't hesitate and agreed immediately: "Okay, let's bet on this!"

"With all of you here as witnesses, the loser must kowtow three times to the winner!"

As he took in the entire scene, a flash of inspiration flashed across his eyes.

Ling Shuang already had a guess in her mind.

Judging from Huo Yuhao's performance, it seems that the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm has most likely found a second martial soul for him.

I just don’t know what will happen after Bingdi is gone.

He just found another Ice Jade Scorpion, or some other soul beast.

The incident between Huo Yuhao and Dai Huabin was just a small episode in this upgrade assessment.

Most students are more focused on the upgrade assessment.

No one wants to be in the 10% that are eliminated.

Time passed and almost all the students had arrived.

On the high platform, Du Weilun's voice slowly sounded.

"The upgrade assessment begins. Class one begins. Send out students for selection battle."

Wang Yan came to Ling Shuang.

"Student Ling Shuang, you're the first one to come. Is that okay?"

Wang Yan planned to let Ling Shuang take the lead. His relaxed performance would also reduce some psychological pressure on the following students.

"Yeah." Ling Shuang responded lightly and stood up with the form.

Seeing that the first person to come on stage was the strongest student from the outer courtyard, everyone's attention was instantly drawn to it.

The man in white stood proudly in the center of the Colosseum.

"Student Lingshuang, please choose the age of the soul beast you will be fighting." Du Weilun said.

Ling Shuang spoke slowly.

The calm and indifferent voice spoke words that stunned everyone.

"Ten thousand years."
