The Peerless Tang Sect: Heavenly Heart Douluo

Chapter 68 Xuanzi's Speech

Huo Yuhao sensed that Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan were also vaguely traumatized, but not enough to form a mark of fear. He shook his head helplessly and looked at Xuanzi below the stage.

Under the treatment of the healing teachers, most of the students with minor injuries woke up, and none of them understood how they had lost.

But seeing Huo Yuhao's figure on the stage and his cold gaze, they couldn't help but look away.

"Those who are eliminated, go back. You seven stay." Xuan Lao took a bite of his chicken leg, and from behind his messy hair, two eyes that shone with a strange light stared intently at Huo Yuhao.

However, many trainees showed resentment on their faces; they could not accept losing so inexplicably.

Therefore, although they all heard Xuanzi's words, no one left, but instead focused their attention on Xuanzi.

Xuanzi snorted and said, "Not convinced? If you have any grievances in the future, I hope you can demonstrate them through your strength. Do you think my chaotic selection method is unfair? That many of you lost inexplicably without even being able to show your abilities?"

Everyone remained silent.

Then Xuanzi began to recount his glorious achievements: "But isn't this really unfair? The free-for-all is aimed at every one of you."

"If this were on the battlefield, could you determine the number of the enemy and the situation you would face?"

"You can't. At least this chaotic battle puts you all on the same starting line, instead of putting you in a desperate situation."

"None of you are qualified to become inner court disciples with your current mindset. This seemingly unfair free-for-all is actually the best way to test your overall strength."

"What right do people who can't even recognize when they've been hit by someone else's soul skill have to question the fairness of the assessment?"

"Furthermore, these kinds of chaotic assessments are commonplace in the inner academy. If you don't even have this much reaction ability, what qualifications do you have to become an inner academy disciple?"

"Do you know what kind of situation the inner court disciples faced during their most difficult time? On that occasion, twelve inner court disciples faced a 100,000-year-old soul beast after being separated from their teachers. Eight of the twelve died in the battle."

"But the four who survived were already among the top in the inner academy, and one of them even obtained the soul ring and soul bone of that 100,000-year-old soul beast."

"Don't think that studying at the academy means everything will be fine. Facing strong opponents who are not at your current level is the daily reality for inner academy students."

"If you want to truly become strong, even in the academy, you must be prepared to face life-or-death crises at any time."

"Don't think that becoming a core disciple guarantees you'll become an inner court disciple. And even if you do become an inner court disciple, it's not an honor, but rather means you've just stepped through a door."

"A gate of life and death. Do you know what the first thing students have to do after becoming inner court disciples is? It's signing a life-or-death agreement."

"In pursuit of the ultimate Soul Master, only by disregarding life and death can one achieve what others cannot. No matter your background, once you enter the inner court of Shrek Academy, you become a true member of Shrek, and the mark of Shrek will be imprinted on you for life."

"Similarly, you will face enormous crises at every moment. There is always the possibility of losing your life. As you are in the outer academy, the academy will do its best to ensure your safety. However, if you enter the inner academy, you will face the most brutal test."

"Shrek Academy has been able to remain the number one academy on the continent for millennia. What's the secret? It's the relentless hard work of the Shrek Academy's inner court disciples."

"I can tell you with certainty that Shrek Academy rarely has more than fifty inner court disciples. That's because almost every year an inner court disciple dies. Is there still a problem?"

With each word, Xuanzi imbued it with his peak Spirit Abyss Realm spiritual power, causing the outer court students, whose highest level was no higher than the Spirit Sea Realm, to weep with gratitude. It was as if they had all been inspired by the will of Shrek Academy, and wished they could find a 100,000-year-old soul beast to fight to the death.

Huo Yuhao was speechless. Why didn't reality have a skip option? After blocking the influence of Xuanzi's mental power through the Heart Wall, every word he uttered was meant to enhance the students' obedience and faith in Shrek Academy.

He was getting tired of hearing it. Could it be that Xuanzi and his group were really serious, actually considering this kind of thing an honor?

The eliminated core disciples lowered their heads one by one and walked out of the Soul Battle Zone under the guidance of their teacher.

At this moment, only Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, Wang Dong, Ning Tian, ​​Xiao Xiao, Huo Yuhao, and Xuan Zi remained in the Soul Battle Zone.

The seven people stood in a row, and everyone except Huo Yuhao felt a tightness in their chests due to the influence of Xuanzi's spiritual power.

Master Xuan slowly turned around to face the seven of them. "You've all heard of the Shrek Seven Devils. Right inside the gates of our academy stand statues of the academy's founder and the first generation of the Shrek Seven Devils. But do you know where the title 'First Generation Shrek Seven Devils' came from?"

Then he began to recount the "glorious history" of Shrek Academy, a story as long and tedious as an old woman's foot binding cloth.

Finally, it was explained that the purpose of this core disciple assessment was actually to recruit reserve teams for the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament.

"Of course, you were selected as a reserve team and as substitutes for the main participants, although the chances of you playing are extremely slim."

"But only as substitutes will you have the opportunity to go to the competition and watch the games. This will be an extremely valuable experience for you."

"However, today's selection competition has not decided everything. For the next five years, you will be subject to constant scrutiny, and only those with sufficient strength will be able to represent the academy in the final battle."

"During this period, you will have to go through multiple assessments, so if you want to truly represent the academy in the competition, the first thing you need to do is ensure that you can enter the inner academy."

"Your selection as reserve team members is a secret of the academy. No one is allowed to reveal it, or they will be disqualified."

"From now on, you will train with me one day a week. There is still one month until the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament. I will train with you and the Seven Devils who will be participating in this tournament. I hope you will seize this precious opportunity and improve yourselves as much as possible."

"Alright, let's call it a day." Xuanzi sighed. He originally had many questions he wanted to ask Huo Yuhao, but remembering Mu En's private advice not to delve too deeply into Huo Yuhao's issues, he ultimately gave up.
