Douluo Continent: Starting by controlling the Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Cult

Chapter 25 Feigning Weakness is Also a Skill

It's like expecting Ning Tian, ​​with his support-type Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul, to fight the proctor one-on-one, right? Are you going to use that little pagoda with little attack power to smash people?

Team assessments also have distinctions. In a one-on-one situation, the examiner will send a senior student from the outer academy whose soul power is not much different from the examiner's. For teams of two or three, the examiner will be a level 30 Soul Master. For teams of five, the examiner will be a Soul King. For teams of up to seven, the examiner will definitely be a Soul Emperor.

Being defeated by the examiner can earn you 1 to 20 points based on your performance. Holding your own against the examiner can result in a good score of 20 to 40 points, depending on your performance. Being able to suppress or even defeat the examiner will undoubtedly earn you an excellent score of 40 or higher.

If you can impress the examiner instantly, you'll get a perfect score.

New students who complete the assessment and pass will receive different treatment and class assignments based on their total score.

Having witnessed Huo Yuhao's terrifying mental strength, Ning Tian did not hesitate and decided to form a team of three to sign up for the assessment, which was exactly what Huo Yuhao wanted.

Only by playing a support role in team fights can his true strength go unnoticed.

Just as the assessment team was assigning suitable assessment personnel to Huo Yuhao and the other two, Mu Jin also received Huo Yuhao's physical fitness assessment results backstage.

The score column is filled with big sixes: six, six, six, six!

This kid is definitely hiding his true abilities! Mu Jin was so angry she almost ground her teeth to powder. If she arranged another physical fitness test for him, would he be able to give the assessment department a perfect score?

After obtaining their first spirit ring, each spirit master basically begins to work on their future development direction, such as power attack, control, agility attack, support, or food. It is rare to find a hexagonal warrior. For example, Tang Wulin was originally positioned as a control-type battle spirit master, but later he went up and smashed a group of power attack-type opponents.

Huo Yuhao had no idea that Mu Jin had her eye on him. When he and Wu Feng arrived at the training ground, a level 39 Soul Master examiner was already waiting for them there.

"Please state your level, name, and career development direction."

Wu Feng loudly announced: "Wu Feng. Level 25 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master."

Ning Tian's response was much more nonchalant: "Ning Tian, ​​a level 31 Auxiliary-type Soul Master."

Finally, there was the lazy Huo Yuhao: "Huo Yuhao, uh, a level 29 support-type Soul Master."

"Isn't it awkward?" Huo Yuhao thought to himself.

Dual support? The examiner frowned slightly. It seemed that only the red-haired girl with the lowest soul power in front of him could spar with him. He would first see how much of a boost these two support types could give her.

"You may proceed." The examiner activated his martial spirit, the Mighty Demon Bear, a beast martial spirit renowned for its strength.

With a sharp cry, Wu Feng sprang into the air, a surge of intense heat erupting from her body, accompanied by a soft dragon's roar. Her body suddenly became elongated. While airborne, she appeared to be a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl who had just completed puberty. Her slender frame ripped through her outer garments.

She was clearly prepared; underneath was a very elastic leather outfit that revealed a pair of smooth, fleshy thighs. The leather outfit was a one-piece that cinched upwards, making Huo Yuhao secretly admire her. Wasn't she much sexier than Ning Tian?

A faint red glow shimmered on Wu Feng's skin. Starting from the left side of his face, a layer of fine dragon scales covered his face, extending down his neck, along his shoulder, and down to his entire left arm and left hand.

Wu Feng possessed a slender and beautiful figure, yet she exuded an aura of explosive power. In a flash, she appeared before the examiner. Her left arm swept out, striking directly at the examiner's body.

Faced with his overwhelming power, the examiner did not directly use his soul skill. Instead, he half-turned in the air and kicked out with his right leg like lightning, colliding with Wu Feng's left arm.

With a muffled thud, the examiner swayed in mid-air, shifting half a step to the side. Wu Feng, on the other hand, fell to the ground, retreating several steps. Clearly, Wu Feng had suffered a disadvantage in this first collision. Although both were offensive-type Soul Masters, their Soul Power levels were different.

At the same time, Ning Tian, ​​who was standing at a distance, stretched out her right hand and shouted, "Seven Treasures Spin Out with Glazed Glass." Her body spun around once, and a dazzling seven-colored light was released from her body. At the place where the seven-colored light gathered, a seven-colored pagoda more than a foot tall appeared in Ning Tian's right palm.

The pagoda shimmered with light and seemed to be inlaid with countless gems. As soon as it appeared, it attracted the attention of the examiners.

Two yellow and one purple soul rings rose from Ning Tian's palm, rhythmically circling the seven-layered pagoda in her hand.

On the viewing platform, Mu Jin's face lit up with surprise: "It's actually the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!"

Ning Tian's clear voice rang out as the pagoda appeared:

"The Seven Treasures have names, the first being: Speed." The first spirit ring on the pagoda lit up, and the rich yellow light made the pagoda even more magnificent. A dazzling light shot out from the pagoda and landed on Wu Feng, who was fighting with the examiner.

With the amplification, Wu Feng moved much faster than before, and a sudden diagonal kick almost caught the examiner off guard, causing him to stagger back several steps.

"First Soul Skill, Air Cannon!" The part-time staff member who could work at Shrek Academy was obviously not someone to be trifled with. His yellow hundred-year soul rings gleamed, and he clenched his right fist, compressing the air wildly within it before unleashing another punch.

Seeing this, Ning Tian chanted the soul incantation again at top speed: "Seven treasures have names, the third is: Power." The purple soul ring lit up quickly, and the power boost brought by the thousand-year soul skill directly made Wu Feng reach the level of a Battle Soul Venerable in terms of attack power.

"First Soul Skill, Dragon's Fire!"

"Second Soul Skill, Dragon's Wrath!"

Ning Tian and Wu Feng cooperated perfectly. As soon as she made her move, Wu Feng suddenly shone with red light, her second soul ring shone brightly, the dragon fire rising from her body suddenly turned dark red, her original half-body scales suddenly became thicker, and as the red light in her eyes intensified, her left hand had completely transformed into a dragon claw.

In Dragon's Fury state, her offensive and defensive strength increases dramatically, and she can also amplify all her other soul skills. The heat of the Dragon's Fire increases by almost 100 degrees Celsius in an instant, causing the surrounding air to distort violently.

Seeing how swiftly this attack had begun, the examiner no longer held back, unleashing his second and third soul skills simultaneously. The combination of rage and bloodlust gave his first soul skill even greater attack power.

Just as Wu Feng's left-hand dragon claw, crackling with rising flames, was about to collide with the examiner's extremely compressed air fist, Huo Yuhao finally made his move, unleashing the other two skills of his million-year-old first soul ring: mental interference and soul impact.

The mental interference caused the Soul Venerable level examiner to experience a momentary blur in his vision. His air cannon lost its aim and narrowly missed Wu Feng. The soul impact left the examiner's mind blank.

Oh no! The examiner, a seasoned veteran, instinctively rolled to the side as his punch missed its mark. However, Wu Feng's fiery fist, like a sticky twig, still pounded heavily into his chest, sending him tumbling and flying.

Wu Feng held back a bit when he threw the punch; otherwise, he would have broken several of the examiner's ribs.

The two women looked at Huo Yuhao and couldn't help but think more highly of him. From the very beginning of the battle, they were all under the shared mental detection, and every move they made was able to anticipate the enemy's moves and remain invincible. As for why the examiner missed his shot later, they could only assume that it was related to Huo Yuhao's second skill.

From the start to the end of the battle, Huo Yuhao maintained the color and brightness of his spirit rings in a simulated manner, making people think that he hadn't used any spirit skills and was just standing blankly at the back.

The audience was silent.

"We won!" Wu Feng jumped up and hugged Ning Tian, ​​his excitement overflowing.

"Yes, we won..." Ning Tian didn't expect the victory to come so easily. Having Huo Yuhao's mental detection sharing was so convenient. The whole battle only required him to use his soul skills according to Huo Yuhao's will.

But to outsiders, Huo Yuhao was just a lucky guy who hid in the back and won by chance. As for whether he played a role, only the examiner who had fainted knew.

"Defeating the examiners, Ning Tian's team scores! Ning Tian gets 50 points, Wu Feng gets 55 points, and Huo Yuhao gets 40 points!"

Because the chief examiner was unconscious, the results had to be read aloud by other examiners who were observing the proceedings.

Upon hearing the scores, Ning Tian and Wu Feng were about to cheer when they heard Huo Yuhao's score, but they were stunned.

Yes, Huo Yuhao, who clearly made the greatest contribution, only received the lowest score of forty. Could it be that the other examiners failed to discover Huo Yuhao's abilities?

"This isn't fair!" Wu Feng, an impatient man, was about to rush forward to argue with the examiners, but Ning Tian grabbed him. After all, Huo Yuhao, who had suffered the greatest injustice, hadn't said a word yet, and who knew what he was really thinking.

Sure enough, after the results were announced, Wu Feng only saw Huo Yuhao behind him with a long face, muttering to himself, looking completely dejected. Feeling sorry for him, Wu Feng went over to offer some comfort, but unexpectedly, Huo Yuhao was muttering something else entirely—

"Why did you give me 40 points? I wish you'd given me 30 points so I could barely qualify..."

"I'm so angry! This guy must have masochistic tendencies!" Wu Feng turned away angrily, not wanting to talk to him anymore.

Just then, a refreshing fragrance wafted over. The two women, Wu and Feng, looked up and saw Mu Jin walking towards Huo Yuhao with a smile on her face.

"How did the exam go? You should have passed by now, right?"

"Mmm... roasted... smells so good..." Huo Yuhao, feeling dejected, bumped into Mu Jin's arms. He was caught in the middle and gasped in pain.

Wu Feng and Ning Tian watched with their faces twitching and their mouths twitching.

I've been working through the night, and during the day I'll write as needed. It's almost dawn, time to take a nap.
