Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, have a Beast Taming Space

Chapter 27 You should hurry up and get a hundred-year soul ring.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the teachers' office of Class 1 was far less relaxed and lively than that of Class 9.

Zhou Yi stood expressionless in front of her desk. In front of her stood three students—Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and a boy named Lu Renjia.

These three were selected by Zhou Yi from the remaining forty-eight students in Class One, who she considered the "seed team" with the greatest potential to compete for a good ranking.

Zhou Yi's signature, imposing gaze swept over the three of them, and she spoke in an icy voice: "Freshman assessment, what are your ambitions? Your target ranking?"

Xiao Xiao felt a little uneasy under Zhou Yi's gaze and nervously whispered, "Top...top three?"

"Humph!"

Zhou Yi snorted coldly, her voice as icy as ice.

"Top three? They really are useless, they have no ambition at all."

Her sharp gaze swept across the three faces like a knife.

"You are the seeded team of our class! If you dare to falter in the assessment, if you dare to lose, especially to the team from the neighboring class nine..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but the threatening undertone in her unfinished words made Wang Dong and the other two's expressions instantly turn somewhat ugly.

The freshman class, which originally had 100 students, has been reduced to only 48 students after Zhou Yi's "iron-fisted" methods over the past few months. More than half of them have been expelled!
Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and the others felt nothing but deep fear and suppressed anger towards Zhou Yi, this old witch.

Over the past few months, Wang Dong has complained to Huo Yuhao about Zhou Yi countless times.

"Remember this: when you encounter the team from Class 9, you must give them a good beating! If you dare to lose, you know what will happen."

Zhou Yi repeated the order.

She paused, softening her tone slightly.

"Now, tell me, what other hidden abilities or trump cards do you have that you haven't revealed? Tell me immediately! I will develop a more rigorous and targeted training plan and combat techniques based on your situation."

Her gaze first fell on Wang Dong.

Wang Dong pursed his lips and remained silent.

In the past few months, she has been with Huo Yuhao every day. Under the influence of what she sees and hears, she is extremely disgusted with Zhou Yi's practice of focusing solely on grades and expelling students at the drop of a hat. How could she possibly reveal her secret to her?
Revealing your second martial soul? Don't even think about it!
Seeing Wang Dong remain silent, Zhou Yi's eyes flashed with displeasure, but she did not react immediately. Instead, she turned her gaze to Xiao Xiao, who seemed easier to control.

Xiao Xiao felt Zhou Yi's extremely oppressive gaze, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead as she struggled internally.

"Xiao Xiao, if you have any secrets, tell me. This is for the honor of the class, and also for your own future. Hiding your strength will only put you at a disadvantage in the assessment!"

Under Zhou Yi's continued pressure, Xiao Xiao lowered her head and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "I...I have twin martial souls."

"what?!"

Zhou Yi and Wang Dong were both startled almost simultaneously.

Zhou Yi was taken aback at first, then her eyes burst with uncontrollable joy!
Twin martial souls!

Her class actually produced a genius with twin martial souls!

This is an unexpected surprise!

Suppressing her excitement, she immediately pressed, "Very good! Xiao Xiao, has your second martial soul acquired a spirit ring?"

Xiao Xiao was startled by Zhou Yi's sudden intense gaze and subconsciously shook her head: "Not...not yet."

"it is good!"

Zhou Yi clapped her hands suddenly, her tone carrying an unquestionable decisiveness.

"Take some time recently and get a spirit ring for your second spirit! Preferably a hundred-year-old one, as soon as possible!"

"Huh?" Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong were both stunned, not expecting Zhou Yi to make such a request.

"Ah for what!"

Zhou Yi frowned and scolded.

"The more spirit rings you have, the better your chances of winning and the more opportunities you'll have in the assessment! Don't you want to achieve better results in the freshman assessment?"

Seeing Xiao Xiao's hesitant and uneasy expression, she softened her tone.

"Besides, it's just a hundred-year-old soul ring; it won't affect your future foundation in any way. Xiao Xiao, I'm doing this all for your own good! As long as you perform well enough in the assessment and become core disciples, this small sacrifice is completely worthwhile!"

Xiao Xiao opened her mouth.

"But, Teacher Zhou, aren't twin martial souls supposed to wait until they can absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring before adding a spirit ring to the second martial soul?"

Zhou Yi frowned.

"You are questioning me."

Xiao Xiao was too afraid to speak after Zhou Yi asked her that question.

"No...no."

Watching this scene unfold, Wang Dong frowned, his disgust for Zhou Yi deepening.

For the sake of so-called achievements and honors, she is so eager for quick success and instant benefits, even at the risk of jeopardizing the future foundation of a twin martial soul master... This old witch has truly gone mad!

No, I need to talk to Huo Yuhao later and also persuade Xiao Xiao. We can't let Zhou Yi ruin her like this.

In the evening, as soon as Wang Dong returned to his dormitory, he angrily told Huo Yuhao everything that had happened in Zhou Yi's office that day.

"...That's how it is! That old witch is completely insane! She actually made Xiao Xiao add a spirit ring to her second martial soul!"

Wang Dong became increasingly angry as he spoke, his pinkish-blue eyes practically spitting fire.

After hearing this, Huo Yuhao frowned deeply and his face darkened: "This Zhou Yi will stop at nothing for her laughable achievements and face! Twin martial souls are so precious, she's trying to ruin Xiao Xiao's future!"

He looked at Wang Dong and said in a serious tone, "Wang Dong, remember to find a chance to persuade Xiao Xiao that she must not listen to Zhou Yi's nonsense and absolutely must not add a spirit ring to her second martial soul now! Just treat Zhou Yi's words as farts and don't take them seriously! The advantage of twin martial souls lies in the later stages. Adding a low-level spirit ring rashly in the early stages is tantamount to cutting off your future!"

Wang Dong nodded emphatically: "I know! I will definitely try to persuade her! We absolutely cannot let Zhou Yi ruin her!"

She was equally indignant about Zhou Yi's actions.

After finishing their business, Wang Dong suddenly seemed to remember something, and looked Huo Yuhao up and down suspiciously, his eyes becoming somewhat subtle: "Hey, Huo Yuhao, you're so concerned about Xiao Xiao... you don't actually have any designs on her, do you have ulterior motives?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's lips twitched involuntarily. Looking at Wang Dong's "I've discovered it" expression, he impatiently extended a finger and lightly flicked her forehead.

"Ouch! What are you doing!"

Wang Dong winced in pain, clutched his forehead, and glared at him with displeasure.

Huo Yuhao retorted, "What are you thinking? I haven't even seen what Xiao Xiao looks like properly, so how could I have ulterior motives? I'm just showing basic concern for my classmate and feeling heartbroken that such a talented person is being wasted! Do you understand?"

Wang Dong rubbed the spot where he'd been flicked, still sulking, and turned his face away: "Hmph! Who knows what you're really thinking? Maybe you just saw that he has twin martial souls and good talent, so..."

"So what do you mean, 'so'!"

"I think you're just daydreaming all day; you've even put all your cultivation into your head! Instead of wasting time on this, you should be thinking about what to eat tonight!"

"I want you to take care of it!"
