Douluo Continent: The Eternal Dawn

Chapter 77 The 'King' Descends from the Sky, Wrathful and Ferocious

The assessment area for new students is about 20,000 square meters, which has now been divided into fifty areas, each covering about 400 square meters and being a square with sides of 20 meters.

For the new students whose cultivation levels are generally only at the first or second ring, this kind of venue is more than enough for them to perform well.

The teacher in charge of Huo Yuhao's area was a kind-looking woman. She held a document, glanced at it, and then looked up, saying, "New student assessment, first round, second match. Class 1: Huo Yuhao, Jin Nianyun, Jin Nianzhao. Class 5: Dai Huabin, Cui Yajie, Zhu Lu. You may now enter the arena. Stand on either side of the arena. You may release your martial spirits only after I say the match has begun. Enter the arena."

Upon hearing the referee's announcement, Huo Yuhao suddenly trembled violently, his eyes filled with disbelief, and his body began to shake uncontrollably.

In his line of sight, a tall, blond youth stepped into the arena from the crowd opposite him. His long blond hair was parted in the middle, framing a handsome yet cold face. Upon closer inspection, one would notice that he possessed double pupils.

"It really is him?!" Huo Yuhao's face turned pale. He would never forget that person's face, and his eyes revealed an undisguised deep hatred.

The twin brothers Jin Nianyun and Jin Nianzhao, who were teammates, turned around and were about to urge Huo Yuhao to go on stage, but they were startled by the blood red in Huo Yuhao's eyes.

"Are you alright? It's time to get ready to go on stage."

"I'm fine." Huo Yuhao lowered his head and replied in a hoarse voice, silently following behind the Jin brothers into the arena.

To Dai Huabin's left is a black-haired girl. Like Dai Huabin, the girl's eyes are also unusual. Her left eye is a light blue, while her right eye is a light yellow. The colors of her two eyes are completely different, and when she stares intently, her pupils swell slightly, making her look quite strange.

The girl was Zhu Lu, Dai Huabin's partner who possessed the martial soul fusion skill, Netherworld White Tiger.

Another girl named Cui Yajie had long pink hair. When she entered the venue, she smiled sweetly at Huo Yuhao and the other two, her smile exuding an indescribable charm.

The three of them, including Dai Huabin, were in a typical triangular formation. As a powerful offensive Soul Master, Dai Huabin was undoubtedly the main attacker in the team, while Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie stood on either side of him.

On the other hand, Huo Yuhao and his two companions formed a completely opposite inverted triangle formation.

Huo Yuhao was in the middle, with the Jin brothers, Jin Nianyun and Jin Nianzhao, at the front.

Seeing that both sides had taken their positions, the female teacher nodded and said, "The assessment begins."

The brothers Jin Nianyun and Jin Nianzhao were the first to unleash their martial spirits. Under the glow of a yellow spirit ring, gold and black patterns quickly appeared on their skin. A transparent golden spike appeared on each of their elbows.

Golden Needle Bees—that's their martial spirit. Both of them are agile attack-type battle spirit masters with poison attributes.

Just like in previous drills, the Jin brothers, Jin Nianyun and Jin Nianzhao, fully utilized their speed advantage and then cooperated with Huo Yuhao's mental control soul skill in an attempt to achieve a decisive victory.

The Golden Needle Bee's martial spirit has a sharp stinger with paralyzing toxins. As long as it can break through the opponent's defense, it is enough to determine the outcome of the battle in the first and second ring levels.

Huo Yuhao covered his cheek with his right hand. Blinded by hatred, he was now thinking only of taking revenge on Dai Huabin.

A yellow spirit ring rose from beneath his feet. The moment the spirit ring shone, he suddenly raised his head, revealing his two bloodshot eyes through his fingers.

"First Soul Skill: Mental Intimidation!"

An invisible spiritual pressure swept out instantly. Huo Yuhao's eyes flashed with a rich, brilliant golden light, like the eternally burning golden eyes of the Golden Lion King, filled with an ancient and majestic aura. Looking at the lone yellow spirit rings beside Huo Yuhao and his companions, Dai Huabin hadn't even intended to attack. After all, in his view, Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie's strength was more than enough to deal with this combination of three one-ring spirit masters.

However, upon sensing the aura of the Golden Lion King, the White Tiger Martial Soul bloodline within him was instantly activated.

As the king of all beasts, the White Tiger is also a natural king among tiger-type soul beasts, and naturally it is unwilling to be silenced under the aura of the Golden Lion King.

A sudden burst of intense, pale white light erupted from Dai Huabin's body. His expression was grim as he sprinted forward, his arms outstretched to the sides. His chest puffed out, his bones cracking and popping, his bulging muscles straining against his clothes, making every muscle line extremely clear.

His once golden hair had turned into a mix of black and white, with white making up the majority and a few strands of black hair standing out.

Two yellow and one purple halos rose from beneath his feet. As the light from the soul rings shifted, surging soul power formed a wave-like pressure that burst forth.

The changes in this area immediately attracted the attention of many teachers from the outer academy, as this was the first time a three-ring Soul Master had appeared in the freshman assessment.

"Hua Bin?" Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie stopped in their tracks simultaneously, watching as Dai Hua Bin charged into the enemy's territory.

A faint, shimmering white light appeared in Dai Huabin's heterochromatic eyes, completely ignoring the effect of Huo Yuhao's first soul skill, Mental Intimidation.

The brothers Jin Nianyun and Jin Nianzhao were significantly slowed down by the pressure of Dai Huabin's soul power, and both of them showed expressions of horror.

"A three-ring Soul Master?!"

Who would have thought their luck would be so bad, encountering a team led by a three-ring Soul Master right from the start?

With three rings against one ring, an absolute suppression was already achieved in terms of soul power cultivation.

"Roar—" Dai Huabin roared like a tiger, and his two huge tiger paws with sharp claws slammed directly into the chests of the Jin Nianyun and Jin Nianzhao brothers.

It was only thanks to the timely intervention of the teacher, who was acting as the referee, that the two were not harmed.

In the blink of an eye, Dai Huabin had already rushed in front of Huo Yuhao again.

These brothers, or perhaps enemies, met in such a dramatic way, their gazes meeting intensely in mid-air.

Unlike Dai Huabin's seemingly arrogant and expressionless face, Huo Yuhao's twisted face was filled with anger and ferocity. Faced with such a huge difference in cultivation level, he simply did not have the ability to contend with Dai Huabin.

The next moment, Huo Yuhao felt everything go black before his eyes. He was kicked in the chin by Dai Huabin and sent flying into the air, where he lost consciousness on the spot.

"Thump—" He maintained that angry and ferocious expression until he hit the ground.

The king descended from the sky, his face contorted with rage and ferocity!
　I made a slight modification earlier, and decided to let Grilled Fish directly clash with Dai Huabin in the first match, give him a good beating, and then quickly log off.
