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

Chapter 28 Freshman Assessment Begins

Wang Dong was unwilling to admit defeat, but when he heard what they would eat for dinner, his attention seemed to be diverted, and he muttered to himself.

"...But tonight, I'm going to eat two grilled fish!"

"Okay, two."

That night.

The dormitory fell silent, with only the sound of their even breathing.

Huo Yuhao lay on the bed, preparing to enter a meditative state, while Wang Dong in the next bed tossed and turned, seemingly unable to sleep.

"Hey, Huo Yuhao, are you asleep?"

Wang Dong asked in a low voice, his voice unusually clear in the quiet room.

Huo Yuhao didn't even lift his eyelids, and vaguely replied, "Hmm..."

Wang Dong didn't give up and continued to make conversation: "What level are you now? Have you broken through level 20 yet?"

She remembered that Huo Yuhao had reached level 15 after taking the Xuan Shui Pill, and since he had taken the Xuan Shui Pill again recently and was also practicing martial soul fusion cultivation, his progress should be very fast.

"Not yet, I'm already level 19."

Wang Dong pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, his cheeks slightly flushed, and asked tentatively in an even softer voice, "Then... shall we cultivate together tonight?"

She just finished speaking.

"Come!"

The next moment, Huo Yuhao had already jumped off his bed with ease, quickly squeezed to the side of Wang Dong's bed, and sat down cross-legged naturally, without a trace of sleepiness on his face.
Wang Dong: "..."

Seeing Huo Yuhao's "I've been prepared for this for a long time" look, Wang Dong was speechless for a moment, his cheeks turned even redder, but he felt a little excited inside.

He pulled Wang Dong into his arms.

……

The night of martial spirit fusion training passed in tranquility.

As the sky began to lighten and the morning sun streamed through the windows into the dormitory, the light continued to shine through.

Huo Yuhao slowly awoke from his deep cultivation state, feeling refreshed and his soul power had become even more solid.

He turned his head and saw Wang Dong curled up on one side, her hands unconsciously wrapped tightly around his arm.

At this moment, Wang Dong, who usually has a tomboyish and arrogant demeanor, has long eyelashes that droop like butterfly wings when she is asleep, adding a rare touch of gentleness and tranquility to her.

"Your level has increased?"

Huo Yuhao spoke directly, exposing the guy who was actually awake but pretending to be asleep.

"Yeah, that's right."

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong immediately opened his eyes, his face filled with uncontrollable joy, instantly forgetting the embarrassment of being exposed.

She proudly raised her chin: "Please call me a level 26 Great Soul Master! I broke through one level while cultivating last night!"

Continuous martial soul fusion training, coupled with her own talent, allowed her to progress rapidly.

Wang Dong's talent was already exceptional. If he hadn't neglected cultivation in the past, he wouldn't only be at level 26 now.

I still remember in the original story, she cultivated with me, and after a semester, she directly became a Soul Venerable.

When I enrolled, I was only in the class of 21.

"Yes, my soul power has also increased a bit, but besides cultivation, our young master's personal body pillow is really nice."

"Are you trying to die?!"

Huo Yuhao seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. Without even turning his head, he casually raised his hand and precisely caught Wang Dong's ankle as he kicked out.

The surface felt warm and smooth to the touch. Wang Dong's arches tensed instantly; her feet were small and delicate, and although her toenails were unpainted, they looked clean and adorable.

"You pervert, why are you grabbing my foot!"

Wang Dong, unsteady on his feet, hopped on one leg and shouted in shame and indignation.

Huo Yuhao smiled, pushed Wang Dong down onto the bed, pressed down on her kicking leg with one knee, and used his free hand to scratch the sole of her foot that was being held!
"Ah—! Hahaha...Stop! Huo Yuhao, you bastard! Hahaha..."

Wang Dong was extremely ticklish, especially on the soles of his feet. When Huo Yuhao tickled him like that, he couldn't help but writhe and let out a loud laugh that was both embarrassing and anxious, and tears were almost streaming down his face.

She tried desperately to break free, but Huo Yuhao held her ankle firmly, and her other leg was also pinned down, so she couldn't exert any force. She could only twist her waist in vain and bang her hands wildly on Huo Yuhao's arms and the bed.

"Let me go! Hahaha... You stinking Huo Yuhao! I'm not finished with you! Hahaha... Spare me!"

Huo Yuhao watched her laugh uncontrollably, her face flushed, and even her pleas for mercy trembling. Instead of stopping, he intensified his actions, gently scratching her soft soles with his fingers.

"Do you dare kick me again? Hmm? Young Master Wang?"

Huo Yuhao asked with a mischievous grin.

"I won't do it again! Hahaha... I really won't do it again! Stop it! I was wrong! Huo Yuhao... Yuhao... good brother... please forgive me!"

Upon hearing the word "good brother," Huo Yuhao paused slightly in his movements.

Taking advantage of the moment, Wang Dong abruptly pulled his foot back, curled up in the corner of the bed, hugged his foot, and gasped for breath. His cheeks were flushed, and his eyes were filled with tears of laughter. He glared at Huo Yuhao with a mixture of shame and anger.

"You...you filthy scoundrel! You big bastard!"

She cursed angrily, but her voice still carried the weakness of her earlier laughter.

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around, or we'll be really late. Today is the round-robin tournament."

Huo Yuhao stood up, straightened his somewhat disheveled clothes, and looked at Wang Dong, who was still huddled in the corner of the bed glaring at him, and reached out his hand.

"Get up quickly, Miss Wang, or your eyes will pop out if you keep glaring at me."

Wang Dong snorted and slapped his hand away.

"Who are you calling 'Miss'? Call me 'Young Master'!"

……

Shrek Academy's assessment area is located in the north-central part of the Martial Soul Department, adjacent to the Battle Soul Area.

Compared to the Battle Spirit Zone, the Assessment Zone is much larger.

For the students of Shrek Academy's outer court, this is a paradise for outstanding students to showcase themselves, while for those with lower cultivation levels, it is a nightmare.

Every year, a large number of trainees are eliminated because they fail the assessment, and most of these assessments are conducted in this assessment area.

This year's freshman assessment had more participants than ever before, and the assessment area was divided into zones by partitions that could be disassembled at any time to change the size of the zones.

After Huo Yuhao, Ning Tian, ​​and Wu Feng reunited, they headed towards the fifteenth assessment area where they had been assigned.

Following the road signs, they quickly found the location of District 15.

When I arrived, many other freshmen had already gathered here, each with an expression of excitement or nervousness, looking forward to their freshman assessment.

"So, are you guys nervous?"

Huo Yuhao smiled and asked the two people beside him, his tone relaxed.

"What's there to be nervous about? With me here, plus you and Ning Tian, ​​we can just push through."

Wu Feng puffed out his chest, his short red hair making him look particularly energetic, and he had an arrogant expression on his face.

Ning Tian was much more composed. She smiled slightly and said, "We shouldn't encounter any particularly strong teams in the first round of the tournament, but we can't be careless."

"All freshmen, please note. All freshmen, please note. Please enter the assessment area immediately to prepare for the freshman assessment. There are still ten minutes left to enter. If you are late, you will be deemed to have given up the assessment."
