Douluo Continent: The Great Summoner Huo Yuhao

Huo Yuhao was extremely frustrated after experimenting all night, as he had made no progress whatsoever.

This isn't usually the case. Before, no matter what I practiced, although I wasn't sure exactly how much I improved, I could feel very obvious progress every day.

Creating your own spirit ring isn't as easy as I thought...

Looking at Xiao Wu, Huo Yuhao wondered if he was being too stupid, after all, even the carefree Xiao Wu could generate her own soul ring.

It seems that I will need to rely on diligence to make up for my lack of comprehension.

She quietly got up, tidied herself up, and went to class with Wang Dong.

Although they've just enrolled, according to Shrek Academy's tradition, there will be an opening exam today, and it's said that some people will be eliminated.

This made Huo Yuhao somewhat nervous, after all, he had been busy cultivating his contracted beast for the past month, and apart from his soul power increasing by a few levels and his mental power increasing by a little, he had been a bit lax.

It's possible that others have already caught up with him through their relentless training.

"Why do you seem so listless?" Wang Dong whispered.

"Really?" Huo Yuhao was surprised that he had been seen through.

The two chatted quietly, exchanging only a few words.

The teacher in charge of the assessment calmly explained the exam rules.

"This assessment is a practical battle against spirit beasts. You can choose the age of your spirit beast, from a minimum of one hundred years to a maximum of one thousand years. Your score will be based on the age of the spirit beast you choose and its performance in the battle. Please act according to your abilities, as spirit beasts don't understand the concept of 'stopping when you've hit a target.'"

The longest it's ever been is a thousand years?

Huo Yuhao's already not-so-clear mind went blank for a few seconds.

He wondered if he had misheard, and quickly raised his hand to ask a question.

After receiving permission from the examiner, Huo Yuhao quickly and sincerely asked a question.

"Is the maximum it can be is only a thousand years, teacher?"

These words immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone focused their gaze on Huo Yuhao's face.

They all thought to themselves, "Hao Yuhao must have gone mad."

Even if you win the freshman assessment, it's a completely different story compared to a one-on-one duel with a thousand-year-old soul beast.

Dai Huabin's face darkened. He believed that with Huo Yuhao's ability to temporarily suppress him, dealing with a thousand-year-old soul beast shouldn't be a problem.

But if he hadn't summoned the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear at the last moment, how could he have fought him with just one or two hundred-year-old soul beasts?

In the end, you only have two rings. You're just showing off because you summoned a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear during the freshman assessment.

Hearing Huo Yuhao's nonchalant tone, a nameless fire rose in her heart. She immediately mocked him, thinking that a Soul Master should not rely on his own strength but on crooked methods.

"What? You actually think the summoned soul beast is your own strength? Without sufficient combat experience in fighting soul beasts, be careful that you don't get torn to shreds before you even summon your soul beast."

"Dai Huabin! You defeated opponent, how dare you talk about Yuhao!" Wang Dong immediately switched to his protective mode.

Huo Yuhao reached out and pressed Wang Dong down, then turned to stare at Dai Huabin.

"Young Master Dai, did I give you permission to speak? A mere thousand-year-old soul beast is nothing to me. Oh, I see. Young Master Dai is probably very confident in his strength, which is why he's dissatisfied with the results of the freshman assessment and now wants to compete with me?"

He was arrogant, conceited, and looked down on everyone.

As expected of the young master of the Dai family, he perfectly matches Huo Yuhao's understanding of the White Tiger lineage.

"Then let's raise the stakes! I'm ready to go all the way. How about this: we'll use the test results as the standard. Whoever loses has to kneel down, apologize to the other, and say, 'I'm sorry, I was a fool, blind to the truth.' Dare to do it? I'll tentatively choose 1100."

The moment the words "1100 years" were uttered, everyone gasped in astonishment.

For a moment, it was unclear whether Huo Yuhao was deliberately trying to provoke Dai Huabin, or whether he wanted to pretend but didn't dare to, resulting in a huge mess.

"Fifteen hundred years!" Dai Huabin followed. After a month of cultivation, plus some medicine, he had reached level 38, which was almost his limit to hunting soul beasts that were 3000 years old.

"Sixteen hundred years," Huo Yuhao said with a smile as he followed.

"Two thousand years!" Dai Huabin was now absolutely certain that Huo Yuhao had done it on purpose.

"Two thousand one hundred years."

"Three thousand years!" Dai Huabin roared, directly revealing his bottom line. He didn't believe Huo Yuhao would dare to follow suit.

As expected, the once-in-three-thousand-years event had an outstanding effect, immediately sparking a discussion among the surroundings, while a series of surprised and admiring glances were cast at Dai Huabin.

To these new students, most of whom only have two rings, let alone three thousand years old, even a one-thousand-year-old soul beast would be a headache for many.

It could even be said that most of them have never hunted a soul beast on their own.

He looked at Dai Huabin, who was glaring angrily and breathing heavily.

Huo Yuhao was also somewhat surprised. So the other party could fight against a three-thousand-year-old soul beast?

"Why aren't you saying anything? You're not scared to follow, are you? Speak up!" Dai Huabin's voice and expression gradually became ferocious.

"Six thousand years." Huo Yuhao estimated that this was probably his limit.

"Six thousand years! Hahahaha, you said six thousand years? Are you looking for death? We're not competing to see who shouts the loudest number. It only counts if we actually win. You shout six thousand years? Fine, fine, how about I go first? Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't see the result and you'll die unconvinced. Of course, you can also go up on stage and start crying and begging the teacher to save you."

Dai Huabin naturally didn't believe that Huo Yuhao could defeat a six-thousand-year-old soul beast.

Or rather, no one present believed it.

Even the examiner looked at Huo Yuhao with some anger and said with dissatisfaction.

"Huo Yuhao, if you cause any more trouble, I will disqualify you from the exam. Even though you are a core disciple, a major demerit like this will prevent you from entering the inner academy in the future. For your future, I advise you to be careful."

Huo Yuhao frowned at the examiner's words; he hadn't expected to face such a situation.

Does that mean that having ability is a bad thing?

Is the examiner perhaps accepting gold soul coins from the Dai family?

"I don't make empty promises; if I say it, I'll do it! Teacher, you say I'm causing trouble, so please tell me, what if I actually did it?"

Huo Yuhao was a little angry; this was the first time he had been questioned since enrolling in the university.

Whether it was Wang Yan, Fan Yu, or the other teachers, they all basically believed what he said and gave him a lot of help, so he always respected every teacher at Shrek Academy.

"What if they actually did it? Huo Yuhao, don't be so arrogant. A six-thousand-year-old soul beast—do you think a two-ring soul master like you, whose first soul ring is only white ring, can handle that?"

The examiner was furious. He never expected that Huo Yuhao would dare to talk back to him, his teacher and examiner, showing absolutely no respect for his teacher.

"I hereby announce the cancellation of your exam qualification! Furthermore, I will report this to the academy to request the revocation of your core disciple status. Please leave immediately!"
