Peerless: Tang San, this time Huo Yuhao is the attacker.

"Stop, stop, stop! You two are treating me like a pet! I'm not worried at all!"

The strange emotions that Xiao Xiao had felt from being patted on the head by Huo Yuhao vanished without a trace when Wang Dong reached out. She immediately put her hands on her hips, her little face looking both cute and fierce.

"Hehe! Xiao Xiao, don't worry, Yu Hao and I will definitely surprise you during the upgrade assessment this afternoon!"

Seeing Wang Dong's mysterious expression, Xiao Xiao's curiosity was piqued. She had been provoked by Dai Huabin's words and impulsively agreed.

Looking back now, she was actually quite unsure. She was confident in Wang Dong's abilities, but Huo Yuhao's soul skills were all support-type.

This is undoubtedly a significant disadvantage in an upgrade assessment where the goal is to defeat spirit beasts.

But Wang Dong's words clearly had a hidden meaning, implying that Yuhao had other methods he was unaware of.

"Yuhao, do you have some tricks up your sleeve that I don't know about?" Xiao Xiao felt as if her heart was being scratched by a cat.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao didn't intend to speak, he immediately became angry and said, "At least you're betting on my leg, you should at least give me some confidence!"

Seeing Xiao Xiao's aggrieved expression, Huo Yuhao stopped teasing her and leaned down to whisper in her ear, "Twin Martial Souls."

The two were so close at this moment that they were practically face to face.

Xiao Xiao could clearly feel Huo Yuhao's warm breath falling on her ear. Her body tensed up instantly, and the tingling sensation in her earlobe seemed to spread to her heart, leaving her at a loss.

Xiao Xiao's face was flushed, and even she herself couldn't tell whether she was shocked by Huo Yuhao's mention of twin martial souls or stimulated by the intimate way the two of them were acting.

Seeing this, Wang Dong subconsciously pursed her lips. Although she hadn't heard what Huo Yuhao said, she could roughly guess, so she deliberately said in a carefree manner:

"Xiao Xiao, don't worry, Yu Hao and I will definitely protect you."

"Hmph! I don't need your protection. I can take Dai Huabin down by myself!"

Although it was called a class, nothing was actually taught in the morning. Instead, the rules and scoring mechanism for the promotion assessment were explained.

Offensive builds need to demonstrate overwhelming power, while agile builds need to demonstrate mobility and the ability to seize opportunities to enter the fray.

Control-type users should try to restrain soul beasts for as long as possible. As for support-type users, they don't need to participate in the upgrade assessment; they only need to meet the cultivation level requirement.

As one of the rarest types of support-type martial souls on the continent, even Shrek Academy cannot escape this rule.

……

Colosseum area.

Even if all the second-year students were gathered together, they would still appear so small in the face of the entire arena.

Shrek Academy invests one-third of Shrek City's tax revenue in the arena every year, making it arguably the largest and most diverse soul beast breeding farm on the entire continent.

However, the dormitories still have hundreds of people crammed into the toilets, and the beds are incredibly hard wooden planks. To be honest, Shrek Academy's funding situation is truly baffling.

The entire arena was divided into several sections, and Class One and Class Two were naturally assigned to the same section according to their class order.

When Dai Huabin saw Huo Yuhao and the other two, he made a throat-slitting gesture with his hand, and Zhu Lu also gave him a provocative look.

Huo Yuhao and the other two exchanged a smile and did not respond. Wang Dong, in particular, couldn't help but laugh at the thought of Yuhao's performance later.

Both sides started with their class leaders, so Huo Yuhao was the first to step forward, which was only natural.

What did you major in?

"Aggressive style".

As soon as the referee's question and Yuhao's answer faded, the entire Class 1 of Grade 2 became restless.

Although the area was not small, Huo Yuhao did not deliberately lower his voice. In addition, since he was the one leading the way, he naturally attracted everyone's attention.

Since everyone present was a Soul Master, using Soul Power to enhance their senses was a basic skill. Therefore, the students in Class One became noisy, and the content of their noise was quite simple:

"An offensive type? Isn't the class monitor a control type?"

"I remember the class monitor's martial soul was something like an eye, right? Is this a power-attack type martial soul?"

The referee clearly heard these remarks; he frowned slightly, but still continued to ask:

"Choose the age limit of your soul beast, the minimum is one hundred years and the maximum is one thousand years."

"I choose a thousand-year-old soul beast."

These words caused another uproar among the students in Class One.

What is the concept of a thousand-year-old soul beast?

A thousand years for a soul beast corresponds to a Soul Master, and in their minds, Huo Yuhao's cultivation level last semester was only one ring.

The fact that Huo Yuhao was able to successfully enroll in the school means that he is already a two-ring Soul Master, but at most he is a newly broken-through two-ring Soul Master.

A second-ring Grand Soul Master fighting a thousand-year-old Soul Beast isn't impossible, but the chances are slim.

Moreover, Huo Yuhao had always been a control-type user, so his combat strength wasn't particularly strong to begin with. The students in Class One had already given up hope that he would win; they just hoped he wouldn't lose too badly and embarrass Class One.

Only three people didn't react much to this: Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and Zhou Yi. They all knew where Huo Yuhao's confidence came from.

The referee heard the commotion below. As the referee protecting the students in the Beast Fighting Zone, his cultivation level was naturally not low; he was a six-ring Soul Emperor.

Therefore, he could sense that Huo Yuhao's cultivation level was only at the second ring.

Even for Shrek Academy students, it is by no means easy to win by directly skipping a level, so he couldn't help but confirm it again.

"Are you sure you want to choose the Thousand-Year Soul Beast? You only have one chance to take the test."

"I'm sure."

Having received Huo Yuhao's affirmative answer, the referee said nothing more, pressed the sensing soul tool in his hand, and flashed to the edge of the field.

The metal fence on the wall slowly rose, and a tall figure came into view.

Standing over three meters tall, with silver-gray fur that gleamed like metal, thick limbs, five sharp blades springing from its fingers, and standing on two legs, it was none other than a silver iron bear.

The Silver Iron Bear, also known as the Gold-Eating Bear, can enhance its physical defense by consuming ores, making it a formidable creature among thousand-year-old soul beasts.

"Damn it, it's Silver Iron Bear. There's no hope for the squad leader."

"The Silver Iron Bear should be one of the top races in the arena, right? The class monitor's luck is just too bad."

In the soul beast identification course, the teacher will give priority to teaching the soul beasts that are kept in the arena, which is why the students all recognize the Silver Iron Bear.

Huo Yuhao stared intently at the Silver Iron Bear in the distance. This was the first step in his revenge; he could only succeed, not fail.

Although his cultivation level was only that of a Great Soul Master, his physical strength was already comparable to that of a Soul Venerable. The Ice Emperor's nearly 400,000-year-old torso was no joke.

This not only laid the foundation for his future but also greatly improved his physical fitness.

Moreover, he has another source of confidence: his new entry, 【Hyotei】.

【Ice Emperor (Red)】: Your control over ice is increased by 100%, and all effects dominated by the ice element are increased by 100%.
