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

Chapter 29 Your Strength Equals Our Strength

Just as the three were talking, a loud broadcast sounded throughout the entire assessment area.

Huo Yuhao and his two companions entered the fifteenth assessment area and found that some students were already standing inside, with a gentle-looking male teacher in the middle who looked to be in his thirties.

After seeing Huo Yuhao and his two companions enter, the teacher nodded to them.

Once everyone had arrived, the teacher counted the number of people present, then smiled gently and said, "There are six groups of students in this assessment area, and everyone is here now. My surname is Li, and I am the referee for your area."

"I'd like to mention an important point to note during the assessment: you cannot intentionally injure your opponent. After all, this is just an assessment, not a fight to the death. Otherwise, I will immediately stop the match and report the student who intentionally injures their opponent to the academy for disciplinary action."

Teacher Li said in a serious tone.

Everyone nodded to indicate that they understood.

"Since you all already know, I won't waste your time with unnecessary words. Now I will announce the first group of match-ups."

"The first round, the first assessment: Class 9 freshmen: Huo Yuhao, Ning Tian, ​​Wu Feng, versus Class 5 freshmen: Li Qiang, Zhang Wei, Wang Lei."

"You may enter the arena now. Take your positions in each corner. You may release your martial spirits and enter the arena only after I announce the start of the match."

After Teacher Li finished speaking, he looked at Huo Yuhao and the other two.

Huo Yuhao and the other two exchanged a glance and walked together to the center of the arena.

After the three entered the field, they adopted a classic triangular formation.

Wu Feng, a powerful offensive Soul Master, stood at the front, while Huo Yuhao and Ning Tian stood to her side and behind.

As they took their positions, their three opponents, all boys, also stood in their places, and they all looked somewhat nervous.

"The assessment begins!"

Seeing that both sides were in place, Teacher Li began to announce.

As soon as the words fell, Ning Tian immediately released his martial soul, the magnificent Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda floating in his palm, with three soul rings rising up.

"The seven treasures have names, the first of which is: Speed!"

"The seven treasures have names, the third of which is: Strength!"

Two beams of colorful light instantly struck Wu Feng. Wu Feng let out a delicate shout, her body swelled, fiery red scales covered her right arm, yellow spirit rings shone beneath her feet, and a blazing aura erupted—Fire Dragon Martial Soul, Possessed!

With the speed and power boost from Ning Tian, ​​Wu Feng's momentum was unstoppable, and he charged towards the enemy formation like an arrow released from a bow.

The three opponents also quickly released their martial souls, all of which were yellow hundred-year-old soul rings, and their martial souls were a staff, a knife, and a small round shield, respectively.

Faced with the menacing Wu Feng, who was aided by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, they appeared flustered and overwhelmed.

Wu Feng charged directly at the powerful attack-type Soul Master wielding a knife.

"First Soul Skill, Dragon's Fire!"

Her right arm was wreathed in crimson flames, and she lashed out with a claw, carrying a scorching heat.

The swordsman hurriedly raised his sword to block, but under the amplified power of the witch wind and the scorching of the dragon fire, his sword was knocked away, and he staggered backward, falling to the ground with a thud, losing his fighting ability.

After dealing with one person, Wu Feng didn't linger. He turned around and rushed towards the Soul Master wielding the staff, his figure blazing with flames.

Seeing her fierce approach, the soul master was so frightened that he quickly retreated, but he was tripped by a small stone that had appeared out of nowhere, and his movements faltered.

Wu Feng seized the opportunity and delivered a side kick that crackled with flames, sending the long staff flying from his hand and knocking him to the ground with the force of the kick.

In the blink of an eye, only the defensive Soul Master holding a small round shield remained standing among the three opponents. He looked at Wu Feng, who resembled a female war goddess.

She glanced at Huo Yuhao and Ning Tian, ​​who stood calmly behind her, then nonchalantly threw down her shield and raised her hands: "We surrender!"

The other trainees waiting for their assessments on the sidelines were all dumbfounded; the battle had ended far too quickly!

From start to finish, it probably takes less than thirty seconds!

The team from Class 9—with their strong offense, support, and that legendary freshman Huo Yuhao—is absolutely dominant! A hint of surprise flashed in Teacher Li's eyes, then he loudly announced, "I declare the freshman Class 9 Huo Yuhao team the winner!"

Huo Yuhao and the other two exchanged a smile.

"Wow, we're amazing!"

"Hey, you haven't even lifted a finger."

"Oh, your strength means we're strong too."

……

As evening fell, the afterglow of the setting sun bathed Shrek Academy in a golden light.

After a day of round-robin matches, Huo Yuhao easily achieved a clean sweep. After parting ways with Ning Tian and Wu Feng, he headed towards his dormitory.

As he approached the dormitory building, he saw that familiar figure again. Mu En was still lying in that rocking chair, his eyes slightly squinted.

Huo Yuhao's heart stirred slightly, a smile appeared on his face, and he turned and walked towards Mu En.

"Good evening, sir."

Huo Yuhao greeted him.

"Are there any extra chairs? Can I borrow one? I'm tired after a long day."

Mu En slowly opened his cloudy eyes, saw Huo Yuhao, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

He didn't speak, but the inconspicuous ring on his finger flashed slightly, a soft light flashed, and a rocking chair exactly the same as the one Moon was sitting on appeared out of thin air on the empty ground next to him.

"Thanks."

Huo Yuhao didn't stand on ceremony. He thanked them and plopped down on the chair, gently rocking back and forth like Mu En, making a creaking sound.

A cool evening breeze was blowing, which was quite pleasant.

"Grandpa, I see you sitting in front of this dormitory building every day, rain or shine. Don't you get bored?"

Looking at the magnificent sunset on the horizon, Huo Yuhao casually asked.

Moon's voice was old and peaceful, with a sense of detachment from worldly affairs: "It's good to see you young lads coming and going, full of vigor. When you get old, you like this feeling of youthful vitality, it makes me feel like I'm still alive."

Huo Yuhao nodded, indicating his understanding.

"Grandpa, you must be... one of the high-ranking members of Shrek Academy, right? Or perhaps... a reclusive powerhouse?"

Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible look of surprise flashed across Moon's face, before he asked with interest, "Oh? Little one, why do you think that?"

Huo Yuhao grinned.

"Intuition! Besides, isn't that how it's always written in novels? On the protagonist's inevitable path, there's always an old man who looks ordinary and likes to sunbathe, but is actually a peerless master who is hiding his true abilities."

Moon was taken aback by his theory of novels, then couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head, his wrinkles smoothing out: "Hehehe... What an interesting little fellow."

He did remember that his great-great-grandson, Bei Bei, had mentioned to him a new student named Huo Yuhao, whose martial soul was unique and who could summon a powerful dark gold dinosaur claw bear, indicating extraordinary potential.

Moreover, given Mu En's unfathomable cultivation and insight, he may have been dozing off during this time, but in reality, he was paying close attention to Huo Yuhao and his summoned beast.

He could clearly sense that the aura and pressure of the dark gold dinosaur bear named Jin Liu beside Huo Yuhao had significantly increased in the short few months since the start of the school year!
The cultivation period has increased by at least two hundred years!

This rate of growth is extremely incredible for a soul beast.

This can only mean that Huo Yuhao's martial soul is far more than just simple summoning; it may possess some kind of ability that even he has never heard of, which can cause summoned creatures to evolve rapidly.

This kid has quite a few secrets.
