Douluo Continent: This villain is so popular!

After listening to Mu Jin's introduction of the freshman assessment and freshman ranking competition.

Chen Mo was quite interested in this ranking competition.

Only teams ranked in the top 64 in terms of wins.

At sixty-four, he advanced to thirty-two.

And so on, until the semi-finals and finals are held.

It's no wonder this is the competition continent; this thing is just like the love triangle in Shrek Academy—you just have to experience it.

……

Outside the assessment area.

Chen Mo looked at the two women and asked softly, "Are you nervous?"

Wang Dong'er shook her head, while Xiao Xiao lowered her head somewhat embarrassed.

Chen Mo could understand. After all, it was a freshman assessment that involved real combat, so it was normal for a newbie like Xiao Xiao to be nervous. Chen Mo had previously said that he would only take action when he encountered an extremely difficult opponent.

After all, this new student assessment is mainly to check the students' own abilities.

Although Chen Mo didn't care much for the rewards offered by Shrek Academy, it was still good for the two girls to gain more combat experience.

Although Douluo Continent may not be considered a prestigious fantasy world, it is ultimately a world where the strong prey on the weak. You may not need to reveal your strength, but you cannot be without strength.

Chen Mo wouldn't accept a pretty face, and of course, given Xiao Xiao's personality, she wouldn't be content to be just a pretty face and hold things back.

If the two women couldn't keep up with him, Chen Mo would find a way to help them improve their cultivation. After all, he hadn't been to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, that "harvesting leek" paradise, yet.

But combat experience is different; it's not something Chen Mo can teach them. They can only accumulate it through constant battles.

"Don't worry about winning or losing, just do your best," Chen Mo comforted Xiao Xiao, rubbing her little head. "Wang Dong'er and I are here for you."

"Yes, Chen Mo is right, we're here for you," Wang Dong'er agreed.

Xiao Xiao nodded heavily!

Chen Mo then led the two women toward the arena.

On the first day of the assessment, each team had to play one match. There were a total of eight teams in the assessment area, and they would compete against each other in pairs.

When the other teams saw Chen Mo, they were almost scared to death.

"How did we end up with this jinx?" Everyone immediately cried out in despair.

If they encounter other Soul Masters, they are more likely to be outmaneuvered by information asymmetry, and they may still be able to put up a fight.

But it was Chen Mo who arrived!

What's the point of playing this game?!

Among this year's freshmen, only Chen Mo had the most complete information, but they still didn't have the courage to face it.

How do we compare them?

She defeated a senior student with a single sword strike and fought against a top female student from the inner academy.

They were just ordinary geniuses.

Unlike the sullen trainees, the teachers in the assessment area were in high spirits.

Watching weaklings fight is boring, but watching these prodigies battle is different.

They also wanted to see just how capable this legendary figure really was.

"Now the captains will draw lots to determine the order of the matches," the referee announced loudly.

"Please don't draw that jinx."

"Please, God!" a captain prayed, his hands clasped together.

But the referee's words ruthlessly shattered his illusions.

"You and Chen Mo are both in the first round."

The captain, utterly dejected, shakily raised his middle finger to the sky: "I'll never treat you like a king again! You've really been treating me like a grandson!"

The referee watched him clowning around expressionlessly, and his teammates, unable to bear it any longer, quickly apologized to the referee and then led him onto the stage.

In contrast, the other teams looked much better.

At least you won't be crushed at the start, and you can at least survive for a while.

Some captains even stepped forward to comfort him, saying, "Brother, don't be too sad. Just bear with it, it'll pass. Since you can't fight back, why not enjoy it? After all, that's the strongest freshman!"

The comforted captain immediately perked up: "Brother's right! Losing to Chen Mo isn't so bad; it'll be something to be proud of!"

Even his teammates nodded in agreement, as if their captain's words made sense.

"..." The captain, who had spoken up to comfort them, fell silent instantly. He didn't know if these people were mentally ill or just too optimistic.

"Let's go, I didn't expect it to be our first performance." Chen Mo stretched and led the two women onto the stage.

The teachers' eyes also flickered as they looked toward the arena.

But the result was unexpected. Chen Mo's team almost lost the game. To be precise, if Chen Mo hadn't intervened, they would have been the ones to lose.

Because Chen Mo didn't make a move at the beginning, it meant that Wang Dong'er and the other two women were fighting against the three of them together.

Although their combat strength is not too bad, it is still too difficult for two against three.

So Chen Mo made his move.

One sword.

The match then ended.

Chen Mo then looked at the two women and said, "See? Although the opponent's strength is not as good as yours, their combat experience is much greater."

The two women exchanged a glance without speaking; they knew Chen Mo was right.

"I won't make a move before the quarterfinals. You two should also accumulate some experience."

"Okay." The two girls nodded obediently in agreement.

This left the teachers standing nearby somewhat incredulous. They hadn't expected Chen Mo to have such a long-term vision, starting to cultivate teammates so early on.

Keep in mind that they are at an age where they are very competitive. Although they will cooperate, they will not be too rigorous. It is more like they are gathering together to fight one-on-one.

Who wouldn't want to win every round of assessments for new students?

The three departing individuals encountered an old acquaintance.

It was Huo Yuhao's team.

When Wang Dong'er saw her former "roommate," she didn't feel much emotion. Instead, she continued to exchange combat experiences with Xiao Xiao beside her.

When Huo Yuhao saw Wang Dong'er, who had changed her appearance, he was stunned and stared at her for a moment.

Her long, blue-pink hair cascaded down her back, and her originally somewhat masculine features softened for some reason, making her radiant in the sunlight.

"You...you...you are Wang Dong?" Huo Yuhao shouted incredulously, pointing at Wang Dong'er.

"You've mistaken me for someone else," Wang Dong'er said casually, then ignored Huo Yuhao.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's almost drooling gaze, Chen Mo felt a mischievous glint in his eye. He put his arm around Wang Dong'er's slender waist and greeted Huo Yuhao, "Long time no see, old classmate."

Wang Dong'er rolled her eyes upon hearing this, letting Chen Mo hug her without resisting. They were practically an old married couple, so what was wrong with a hug?

Besides, Xiao Xiao is still lurking around, waiting for her chance to make a move. I won't make the same mistake Ning Tian did.

We must guard against it at all costs; little Chen Mo will surely be hers.

Huo Yuhao's eyes nearly popped out when he saw this, but he quickly composed himself and replied indifferently, "Long time no see."

And so the three parted ways.

However, Wang Dong'er's image was already etched in Huo Yuhao's heart.

Chen Mo watched Huo Yuhao's departing figure and murmured to himself, "Huo Gua, you'd better put away some unnecessary schemes, otherwise..."
