Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 94 Calm? Not at all calm.

the next day.

The final round of the freshman ranking competition has arrived as scheduled.

Watching the three daydreaming players across from him, who seemed to be aiming to win the championship as dark horses, Lin Yun silently reached into his clothes and pulled out his precious Qing'er as their expressions gradually turned to stone.

Not wanting to reveal too many of his trump cards to Wang Dong, Lin Yun simply had Qing'er give them a taste of their own medicine, and the final match ended before it even began.

That's how fights are. If the actual skill gap isn't too large, you might be able to win through combat experience and tactical planning. But if the skill gap is already huge, no matter how hard you try, it's all in vain.

Unless the other side makes a mistake first. (You agree, right, with the Holy Spirit Cult's Supreme Elder Xuanzi, who allowed an evil Soul Master Soul King to escape?)

At this stage, Qing'er is almost unbeatable. Under the premise that soul tools are not allowed, Ice King's Wrath can freeze anyone with one hit.

Thus, Huo's dark horse journey came to an end, and he ultimately finished as runner-up.

Qing'er's terrifying strength made Huo Yuhao even more excited about the second spirit that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm would give him in the future. After all, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had said that the second spirit it would give him would be far more powerful than Qing'er's.

Next up is the much-anticipated core disciple segment.

Core disciples: Lin Yun, Xiao Xiao, Wang Dong, Ning Tian, ​​Wu Feng, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Zhou Sichen...

Core Disciple Trial Cards: Zheng Xiaolong, Huo Yuhao, Nanmen Yun'er, Cui Yajie, Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo...

Unsurprisingly, Huo Gua was not selected as a core disciple and only received a trial card.

Not only Huo Yuhao, but Zheng Xiaolong was also not selected as a core disciple and only received an eight-month core disciple trial card. The third-place Ning Tian team also only had a core disciple trial card.

Perhaps because Zheng Xiaolong and Nanmen Yun'er were with him, Huo Yuhao, although disappointed and resentful that the academy did not give him a spot as a core disciple, did not go berserk like he did in the original story.

The new student assessment has now concluded.

Lin Yun and his two teammates, who were part of the champion team, went to the dean's office to receive their championship team reward.

After offering them a few words of encouragement, Du Weiren handed them a leather pouch that could isolate soul power fluctuations. Unsurprisingly, inside was a soul bone, but it wasn't the left leg bone of the Void Demon Leopard from the original story; instead, it was the left leg bone of a dragon-type soul beast.

The left leg bone of the offensive type—the ownership of this soul bone is self-evident; it was originally used by Yan Shaozhe to win over Lin Yun.

Lin Yun naturally wouldn't pretend to be generous and give the soul bone to Zheng Xiaolong. He was already being generous by helping Zheng Xiaolong, and Zheng Xiaolong hadn't brought Lin Yun much benefit, so how could he possibly give him the soul bone?

The soul bone ended up in Lin Yun's pocket, and neither Xiao Xiao nor Zheng Xiaolong had any objections.

Zheng Xiaolong was very self-aware; although he also longed for the soul bone, he did not harbor any greed.

A smart person knows best what he dares to take and what he shouldn't even think about. Lin Yun has already been very good to him. If he were to push his luck any further, he would be ungrateful and court death.

As for Xiao Xiao...

Not long ago, Lin Yun had already given her a soul bone and a spirit herb. The little girl hadn't even figured out how to repay Lin Yun with those. If she really took the soul bone, Xiao Xiao would probably have to think about how to clean herself up and repay him.

"Boss, after the class assignments, I won't go to Class 1. I'm a support-type Soul Master, so Class 3 is more suitable for me." Zheng Xiaolong said to Lin Yun after a moment of silence. "You've made up your mind?" Lin Yun turned his head to look at him, asking with some surprise.

Lin Yun thought he would choose to latch onto Lin Yun's coattails and join the same class, but Lin Yun never expected him to choose to leave.

"I'm already very content to be able to ride on your coattails and secure a spot on the freshman assessment champion team. I can't keep following you forever, can I?" Zheng Xiaolong smiled with relief and bowed deeply to Lin Yun.

"However, I will remember the boss's kindness. If there's anything I can do for you in the future, I, Zheng Xiaolong, will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Zheng Xiaolong left.

Lin Yun and Xiao Xiao were assigned to Class 1. Since they were inseparable, they still sat in the last row by the window. After the classes were reassigned, Ning Tian also came over to join in the fun and sat in front of Lin Yun, while Wu Feng sat in front of Xiao Xiao.

Lin Yun wasn't really stupid; he knew perfectly well why Ning Tian was making such an obvious move.

But Ning Tian and Xiao Xiao are different. Xiao Xiao only has a small family behind her, while Ning Tian is backed by the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, which has been passed down for ten thousand years.

Do you expect the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School to rebel against humanity and turn against the soul beasts?

That's impossible.

Their differing stances naturally created an insurmountable chasm between them.

If Lin Yun were all alone, he wouldn't mind taking in Ning Tian, ​​this little rich girl. But now that he's the Lord of Soul Beasts, he can't bring himself to use a girl's feelings like Tang San did.

So no matter how hard Ning Tian tried to get closer to Lin Yun, Lin Yun always maintained a polite smile and kept his distance from Ning Tian.

It's worth mentioning that a small incident occurred after the classes were divided.

When selecting class monitors, under the "Strong Attack Department" category, Lin Yun's name received 90% of the votes in Class 1. Wang Dong's name was next in line, while Dai Huabin's name was ranked third.

Seeing this, Lin Yun decisively handed over the position of class monitor of the assault department to Wang Dong, further increasing Dai Huabin's hatred for Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao.

"I'm such a good person!"

After the new student assessment, life settled down peacefully.

Of course, this peace was only for Lin Yun; for some people, it was anything but peaceful.

The homeroom teachers of Class 1 are Mu Jin and Wang Yan. Both of them are mild-tempered. As long as nothing serious happens, the disputes between students are in line with Shrek Academy's bullshit motto of "Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre".

Dai Huabin's hatred for Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong was truly at its peak.

Huo Yuhao turned him into a lone hero, and Wang Dong made him lose face. The two of them combined to make him almost a laughing stock among the freshmen. How could Dai Huabin, a proud and arrogant person, tolerate this?

Not only do they openly cause trouble for these two people every day, but they are also secretly plotting something.

However, it is certain that Dai Huabin has already decided to kill Huo Yuhao. It's just that this isn't Shrek Academy, otherwise, given the grudge over that egg, it would be reasonable for Dai Huabin to hire several Soul Saints to kill him.
