The Peerless Tang Sect: Heavenly Heart Douluo

Chapter 67 Core Selection Competition

For three consecutive days, Huo Yuhao stayed in the confidential library undisturbed.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, after class, Moon quietly entered the secret library: "Child, the outer academy's core disciples are holding a selection competition. Would you like to give it a try?"

Huo Yuhao waved his hand gently, and dozens of soul power hands returned all the books to their original positions. The golden light that had been radiating from his eyes dissipated, and he looked at Mu En and said, "It seems that Teacher wants me to go. Otherwise, Teacher wouldn't have come to find me in this situation."

Moon nodded: "This core disciple selection includes students from the second to the fifth year. It might broaden your horizons, since you've mostly faced ordinary students and disciples before. Plus, there are many benefits to passing the selection competition."

Huo Yuhao stood up and asked, "Then, Teacher, where is the selection competition? In the Soul Arena?"

Mu En nodded, and then Huo Yuhao left the confidential library. Mu En watched Huo Yuhao's departing figure and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Sigh, this child is still too independent, but he always carries the golden wooden box bestowed upon him by the Sea God. With the Sea God's comforting words, he should just be a kind-hearted child with a cold exterior."

As Huo Yuhao arrived at the Soul Battle Zone, all twenty-six other core disciples from the second to the fifth year had already arrived.

Besides Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, Huo Yuhao also sensed that another girl's soul power was above his own. This girl possessed a gentle temperament, a slight melancholy in her brows, and stunning beauty. At the same time, a chattering Xu Sanshi appeared beside her; this must be Jiang Nannan.

The other core disciples' soul power was around level 20 to 30. Huo Yuhao also saw a few unlucky guys who had been branded with fear by him.

Before long, a swaying figure slowly walked over from a distance. Judging from his unsteady steps, he seemed as if he might fall at any moment.

Isn't this Xuanzi, who's gotten himself drunk again? Xuanzi staggered over to the group of students, his eyes glazed with drunkenness, and said, "Little Wang."

Wang Yan quickly stepped forward and respectfully bowed: "Elder Xuan."

"Is everyone here?" Elder Xuan asked.

Wang Yan said, "Everyone has arrived. There are 26 core disciples from the second to fifth year of the Martial Soul Department, while only one person from the Soul Guidance Department has come."

Xuanzi then staggered as he led his people toward the center of the Soul Battle Zone. Unlike usual, the Soul Battle Zone, which was usually bustling with activity, was now deserted, presumably cleared out in advance for this selection competition.

Elder Xuan let out a burp and said, "Listen up, you little guys, the core disciple assessment you're about to undergo is very simple."

"I call it a free-for-all. Within this Soul Battle Zone, you can attack freely, fight however you want, there are no rules."

"Those who concede or are rescued are eliminated. The last seven remaining are the winners. Alright, teachers, you can all leave now. I'll say 'start,' and you can begin the competition."

The teachers naturally wouldn't disobey Elder Xuan's orders, and they all withdrew from the Soul Fighting Zone.

Before the students in the Soul Fighting Zone could react, Elder Xuan suddenly raised his wine gourd and shouted, "Begin!"

With a "whoosh," Elder Xuan's body vanished. Only twenty-seven core disciples from the outer academy remained in the Soul Arena.

All of this happened so suddenly that most of the students were momentarily stunned when Elder Xuan shouted "Begin!"

Huo Yuhao immediately entered the Martial Soul Possession state, and the first, second, and third spirit rings under his feet lit up simultaneously.

It was as if everyone was being watched by a giant eye. Subsequently, all the students fell into the mental illusion constructed by Huo Yuhao, and each student reacted differently.

In the illusion.

In the chaotic battle involving dozens of people, everyone's first reaction was to try to recruit allies, since there were seven spots available for promotion.

In a mental connection, everyone is essentially sharing a giant mental illusion, so there is naturally no delay.

Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan, three four-ring Soul Masters, immediately joined forces to form a triangular formation, and also won over Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, and 'Huo Yuhao'.

The other third and fourth graders also formed their own groups. The Lan sisters, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, from Class 1 of the second grade, naturally stayed with Huang Chutian.

Wu Feng and Ning Tian formed a five-person group with Xie Huan Yue, Dai Hua Bin, and Zhu Lu.

Meanwhile, He Caitou launched an indiscriminate and comprehensive attack on the entire field.

However, in a real fighting arena...

Huo Yuhao stood alone in the center of the field, while the people around him first huddled together, and then each of them unleashed their soul skills, targeting their teammates first. Caught off guard, more than a dozen people fell down almost instantly, with only a few soul masters with strong enough defense managing to hold on.

He Caitou's soul-guided cannonballs were all fired at his own location. If it weren't for the defensive soul-guided device he was wearing, he would probably have died on the spot.

Only a few students who did not initiate an attack or get too close to the attackers were not seriously injured.

Xuanzi was happily eating a chicken leg when he saw this and was shocked. He immediately dropped the chicken leg and a white light flashed in his hand, enveloping the attacked students and moving them off the stage.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao pretended to have exhausted his soul power and, with a pale face, dispelled the mental illusion.

At this moment, only Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, Wang Dong, Ning Tian, ​​Xiao Xiao, and Huo Yuhao remained on the stage. The latter four stayed on the stage because they were uninjured, while the former three relied on their Soul Sect physical abilities to withstand each other's attacks.

Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan were all shocked to realize the injuries they had sustained; they had no idea when they had been attacked.

Xu Sanshi was thrown to the ground, his body covered in bruises, while Bei Bei's cheeks were bruised as if struck by something, and Jiang Nannan's clothes were charred by the lightning, making her the most seriously injured of the three.

Xuanzi first checked the condition of the students. Fortunately, no one was dead, but the injuries were all serious. He hurriedly summoned the other teachers below the stage and asked them to go and find a healing-type soul master to heal them.

Huo Yuhao felt the newly added fear marks and nodded in satisfaction. Then he looked at the others on the battlefield. Ning Tian saw Huo Yuhao's gaze and her legs went weak, causing her to fall to the ground.

Beibei's lips twitched: "It can't be that bad, Yuhao. There are only seven of us left now, so we shouldn't have to fight anymore. Besides, your soul skill must have taken a lot of damage."

Upon hearing this, Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan realized that it was Huo Yuhao who had been behind it all. They stopped underestimating this second-year junior and became wary of him.

Huo Yuhao didn't care. After all, as long as the essence of the mental illusion couldn't be seen through, no matter how vigilant one was, it would be useless. Truth and falsehood were intertwined, and the real was also false, and the false was also real.
