Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 26 Assessment
Since that information had been screened and filtered before being received by him.

Then...

What would happen if you directly used the portion of spiritual power from the spirit ring to release spiritual sharing?
Even if the above method cannot be achieved, artificially distorting the scope of mental detection to provide useless information should be feasible, right?

"It's worth a try!"

Huo Yuhao stared blankly at the white spirit ring in front of him for a moment.

……

"Snapped!"

In the classroom, Zhou Yi slammed her hand on the podium: "Three months have passed since the start of the semester, and the first assessment since entering Shrek Academy is about to begin."

"As you all know, only by successfully passing the assessment can you stay in the academy and become a true first-year student. If you lose, you'll have to pack your bags and leave."

As she spoke, Zhou Yi wrote the two large characters 'Battle' on the blackboard.

"The assessment will begin this afternoon. The assessment is very simple—the entire grade will be divided into multiple three-person teams to compete, and the teams that rank in the bottom half will be eliminated and expelled on the spot."

"Your class will be divided into about three hundred combat teams to compete, with the score after multiple rounds of battles as the sole evaluation criterion. In other words, if you want to stay, you will have to face at least six teams with two rings."

Shrek Academy does not limit the number of students it recruits each year, but there are only about 400 places available for the second-year advancement exam. Therefore, the more students there are, the more exaggerated the elimination rate of new students in the annual assessment becomes.

This year's increase in new cases has exceeded previous years, to the point that even if the number were halved, it would still seem like a lot.

"This elimination mechanism is somewhat unreasonable."

Wang Dong muttered, "What if a talented guy gets stuck with a terrible teammate? Wouldn't his whole life be ruined?"

"Be careful what you say."

Xiao Xiao lowered her head slightly, hiding behind the backs of the people in front of her. She was still a little afraid of Zhou Yi: "Shrek has followed a system for thousands of years, so there must be a reason for its existence. It's best not to talk about this kind of thing..."

What is the reason for its existence?
Caught between the two, Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment, remained silent, and then uttered a startling statement:

"It's not just this elimination mechanism; in my opinion, Shrek Academy doesn't have any reasonable systems at all."

!! ?
The two people on either side immediately gasped.

How dare you say that?

"Huo Yuhao! And those on either side, stand up!" Zhou Yi's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

The atmosphere in the classroom suddenly became tense.

Over the past three months, she has kicked out nearly sixty students from the class. The remaining freshmen sit sparsely, and whenever it is her turn to teach, they are cautious and silent.

Apart from these three troublemakers who have now stood up.

"What exactly do you want to say? Could you please tell me?"

Zhou Yi looked at Xiao Xiao with a deep gaze.

Originally, she had quite a high opinion of this little girl. She was well-behaved, obedient, and quite capable.

Who knew I'd end up hanging out with those two?

"Um...we were discussing..."

Xiao Xiao stammered as she spoke, but then a sudden inspiration struck her: "We were just discussing forming a team! We were talking about a three-person team, right? The three of us have complementary skills, so we were wondering if we could team up."

"Ah?"

Zhou Yi glanced at the other two and saw that they both nodded in agreement.

"Very good, then the three of you can each lead a team. You can choose your own team members."

"Why!"

Wang Dongli immediately became agitated and even dared to slam his fist on the table at Zhou Yi.

With great power comes great responsibility!

Zhou Yi sneered repeatedly: "What? You're not going to help your classmate at all?"

As soon as he said that, Huo Yuhao's pupils suddenly contracted.

The eyes of the entire class instantly converged on it.

From the perspective of mental probing, these gazes held hope, expectation, and something else entirely… 'Were they prepared from the very beginning?'

Huo Yuhao looked up and met Zhou Yi's gaze.

Since the start of the semester, those with greater talent and strength have been constantly emerging in this class. Whether it's a simple lap or the occasional announcement of soul power rankings, everyone's strength level has been implicitly determined.

At this point, putting them on the fire to roast would be something they couldn't refuse, both morally and logically.

Especially Huo Yuhao.

Since the start of the school year, everyone has known that he is exceptionally strong; even the students in the next class know that there is a boy with superhuman strength in their class.

Before Zhou Yi spoke up, few people dared to team up with him, but now...

"To allow more people to go to school?"

Huo Yuhao stopped Wang Dong and asked.

"Otherwise? You're planning to abandon your classmates?"

"understood."

Huo Yuhao nodded: "I'll take care of the two lowest-ranked students in Class One. Prioritize those with strong offensive abilities."

"Yuhao!" Wang Dong wanted to say something, but was stopped by his gaze.

Out of consideration for each other, we were classmates who had spent several months together.

Logically speaking, putting top-tier fighters together in one team will only make things harder for those ranked lower.

If Zhou Yi dares to expel freshmen without reason, what else is she incapable of doing? It wouldn't be good for anyone to confront her directly at this point.

Take a step back and say that.

She has the authority to form teams, and once she's made a decision, there's no going back.

"I am coming too."

Xiao Xiao took a deep breath and looked at Huo Yuhao: "Prioritize support."

"you…"

Wang Dong opened his mouth, his gaze shifting between the two people, before finally settling on the seemingly paired bracelets: "..."

"Ah…"

Wang Dong's eyelids suddenly twitched, then he chuckled inexplicably a few times: "Leave the defensive skills to me, and the best soul skills are those with control abilities."

"Very good. Sit down."

Zhou Yi glared at the three of them one last time: "Next is group work. Everyone, write down your development plans on a piece of paper and hand them to me. Also, Song Qinghan."

"I'm giving you a chance to transfer to the Soul Guidance Department. If you accept, I'll take you to complete the formalities today. If you don't accept, you're out."

"Thank you, teacher!"

Song Qinghan nodded with immense gratitude.

"Soul guidance system..."

After glancing at Song Qinghan, Huo Yuhao noticed something amiss.

If he remembered correctly, this newborn martial soul's soul skills were all related to long-range detection, and its future development direction within the martial soul system would inevitably lean towards support.

"That's it~"

No wonder Zhou Yi asked about his spirit ring abilities at the beginning of the semester; it seems she was trying to recruit some students with special talents for the Spirit Guidance Department. I wonder what her relationship is with the Spirit Guidance Department; she's always so proactive.

"So, are you going to learn about soul tools?"

Tianmeng spoke up at the right moment: "Humans have greatly increased their strength because of this, especially low- and mid-level Soul Masters. With the Spirit Eye Martial Soul and mental detection as assistance, your path to becoming a Soul Master will definitely be smooth sailing."

"Then forget it."

Huo Yuhao shook his head.
