The Peerless Tang Sect: Heavenly Heart Douluo

Chapter 29 On the Eve of the Assessment

Upon seeing Ma Xiaotao unconscious on the ground, Huo Yuhao gradually recreated the current situation in his true form, while simultaneously disguising his soul power and mental energy as if he had been overexerted, and collapsed onto the bed.

After waiting for the commotion inside the secret room to subside, Yan Shaozhe slowly entered from the outside. He sighed as he looked at Ma Xiaotao, who had collapsed on the ground, and Huo Yuhao, who was unharmed but had fainted due to exhaustion of his soul power.

"Sigh, if Xiao Tao's evil fire hadn't become uncontrollable, we would have had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. Hopefully, Yu Hao will understand when he wakes up."

The next day, when Huo Yuhao woke up, he found Ma Xiaotao standing in front of his bed, looking at him apologetically.

As Huo Yuhao's gaze shifted to her, her body trembled slightly, and her eyes, which had been fixed on Huo Yuhao, shifted unnaturally to the side.

"Senior, do you remember what you said last time?" Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's voice, Ma Xiaotao's trembling involuntarily intensified, and her body even felt weak.

"What's going on? This isn't what I expected." Huo Yuhao frowned slightly, then said, "Or is this also Dean Yan's idea?"

"No, that's not it." Ma Xiaotao wanted to explain something more.

Huo Yuhao left the secret room and walked outside.

Watching Huo Yuhao's retreating figure, Ma Xiaotao couldn't muster the courage to chase after him. She had indeed been cultivating and hadn't been suppressing her evil fire. When the evil fire was about to erupt, she subconsciously thought of Huo Yuhao.

Then he ran away from Poseidon Island. Did Yan Shaozhe really not know? Obviously not.

Therefore, even though she wanted to explain, she was ultimately powerless. And for some reason, upon waking and seeing Huo Yuhao, she couldn't revert to her usual proud and unrestrained self; she unconsciously wanted to back down. Was this guilt?

Huo Yuhao was unaware that the fear he had instilled in Ma Xiaotao because of the impression of not being defeated head-on had a subtle effect.

Huo Yuhao arrived at Sea God Lake and saw that the lake was completely empty, with not a single person in sight. He couldn't help but feel speechless. [Not a single person here? Don't they even think about how to send me back?]

Huo Yuhao was about to swim over when he suddenly heard a charming voice behind him: "Junior, let me take you back."

Huo Yuhao felt Ma Xiaotao's unnatural embrace, her delicate body trembling, and the softness behind him seemed to be shaking up and down. He also sensed something was wrong, and he opened his heart barrier to block the ripples in his heart.

As Ma Xiaotao unfurled her fiery wings, Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao soon returned to the Martial Soul Department's teaching building. Upon landing, Huo Yuhao immediately broke free from Ma Xiaotao's embrace.

Without turning his head, he said, "Senior, please have some self-respect."

When Huo Yuhao returned to the classroom, the students around him were chattering in groups of three. In a corner, Xiao Xiao was talking to Wang Dong'er casually. Wang Dong'er was just staring blankly at the door, but when she saw Huo Yuhao come in, her eyes instantly brightened.

After Huo Yuhao walked over, Wang Dong'er immediately grabbed his hand tightly: "Yuhao, are you alright? That woman..."

"Alright, I'm fine, stop talking." Huo Yuhao stopped Wang Dong'er from continuing and looked at Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er before speaking.

"I can handle this freshman assessment by myself. The two of you don't need to help, understand?"

"But class monitor, this..." Xiao Xiao said reluctantly in a low voice, "Wouldn't that make us seem useless?"

Wang Dong'er was also a little unhappy, but Huo Yuhao then said, "It's just to avoid revealing too many of my trump cards. Besides, my attack range should be the longest between us, so I can take out the most threatening person first."

"If there are situations that I can't handle, then I'll have to rely on you guys." This was also Huo Yuhao's lie. At least for the teams taking the freshman assessment, there wasn't one that he couldn't handle instantly. But he also needed to calm Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao down a bit.

"Alright, everyone get some rest. I need to rest too."

After saying that, Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and entered a meditative state to focus on his cultivation. Although his Spirit Eye had reached a bottleneck because it lacked a spirit ring, his second spirit, Mind, was only at level 20 in spirit power, and he needed to hurry up and cultivate it in sync.

During this time, Zhou Yi announced the location and time of the afternoon assessment and then dismissed the students.

Xiao Xiao said softly, "Class monitor, why don't we practice together? At least we need to know each other's soul skills a little."

Huo Yuhao thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I already know the basics of Wang Dong's soul skills, and others who have inquired about them will probably know as well. I just need to know about your soul skills."

Huo Yuhao led Xiao Xiao to a vacant spot in Shrek Academy and said, "Let's make our move, go all out."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao summoned the Nine Phoenixes' Auspicious Flute. As her first soul ring lit up, a layer of emerald green light spread outward from Xiao Xiao's body.

However, it stopped abruptly when it reached Huo Yuhao's side. Huo Yuhao was surrounded by a layer of soul power barrier, and no matter how the halo moved forward, it seemed to bypass Huo Yuhao and could not penetrate it.

Wang Dong'er touched the halo of light with some curiosity and felt her body become a little sluggish and her speed decreased.

Wang Dong'er whispered, "They actually added a soul ring to the second martial soul, and it's a hundred-year-old one at that. What a waste!"

"Wow, our class monitor is still as strong as ever, but I won't give up!"

Xiao Xiao gritted her teeth. After the Nine Phoenixes' Auspicious Arrival Flute dissipated, a cauldron about one meter in diameter with three legs and two handles appeared in mid-air, and then smashed towards Huo Yuhao.

As it approached Huo Yuhao, the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron split into three, transforming into three beams of light that surrounded Huo Yuhao. The two yellow soul rings beneath Xiao Xiao's feet lit up, signaling the Cauldron's Suppression and Shaking!

It slammed down suddenly, causing a shockwave. This combination is considered quite practical among second-ring Soul Masters, at least much better than Soul Skills that have no connection with each other.

However, the shockwaves caused by the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, like the previous slow sound waves, could not penetrate Huo Yuhao's soul power barrier.

"Damn it, class monitor, how did you cultivate? Although the Soul Power Barrier is a technique that ordinary Soul Masters can use, isn't it even inferior to a ten-year Soul Skill? It's a Soul Power usage method that can only be used to bully children."

"Why is it that in your hands, class monitor, it's like you're invincible, completely unbreakable?!"

"Alright, alright, I give up." Xiao Xiao pouted and put away her martial spirit. "I thought you weren't so scary if you didn't use your spirit skills, class monitor."

Huo Yuhao suddenly remembered that among the challengers he had tormented in the first class, there was also Xiao Xiao, but he couldn't quite recall.

"Alright, let's go to the assessment area first. We should be grouping up soon." Huo Yuhao shook his head, not thinking about it any further.

I was originally thinking of imprinting a fear mark on Xiao Xiao as well, but with the competition approaching, if I really did it, I might not be able to see Xiao Xiao today.
