The boy waved his hand dismissively, but Teacher Zhou's actions drew the attention of those around her. They realized the person she was questioning was Shen Yumo… well, that's alright then…

Upon hearing Shen Yumo's words, Zhou Yi instantly became interested, and a captivating light flashed in her aged eyes.

"Then tell me, what exactly is the name of your martial spirit?" As he spoke, Teacher Zhou's mind conjured up the image of a blade that flashed with purple light, which was quite unremarkable.

"The Demon Blade Thousand Blades," Shen Yumo said calmly.

"The Demon Blade with a Thousand Blades?" Teacher Zhou silently read it aloud, his eyes suddenly flashing with brilliance. "What a great name!"

……

the other side.

Two people hurriedly got up and ran quickly towards the freshman assessment area. Although they were late, it was too late to back down now; they had no choice but to go for it and couldn't just give up!

"Report!" Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong ran together to the space between the teachers and students and shouted loudly.

Upon hearing these two words, Teacher Zhou, who had been deep in thought, slowly turned her head. Everyone else's gaze also turned to the two who had arrived late. The feeling of waiting until now because of the two was definitely not pleasant.

The teacher who was calling roll immediately stopped. This teacher was about fifty years old, tall, with a dark face and no beard, and a stern expression.

"Which class are you two in? What's going on?"

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong both recognized the teacher as Du Weilun, the dean of the martial spirit department of the outer academy, who held immense authority within the academy.

Huo Yuhao immediately stood at attention and said loudly, "Reporting to Teacher Du, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong from Class 1 of the freshmen are late due to excessive cultivation."

Du Weilun's face darkened. "You guys are late for the assessment? Don't you have any sense of time? You two are punished by having to clean all the corridors in the freshman teaching building after today's competition. Get back to your teams!"

"Yes." Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong quickly agreed, both relieved. As long as they weren't disqualified from the assessment, that was fine. The two hurried back to the freshman class and stood with Xiao Xiao, Shen Yumo, and the others.

Xiao Xiao looked at the two of them curiously, while Shen Yumo looked at them meaningfully, inwardly chuckling to herself, "So what if they did that kind of thing?"

It's okay, this is called advance payment!

After the two returned to their team, Du Weilun glanced at Zhou Yi standing not far away before picking up the list and continuing to read. Given his temperament, if it were any other student, they would likely have been disqualified from the assessment immediately; after all, they had passed the new student assessment.

However, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong are special because they performed exceptionally well in the round-robin tournament, achieving a perfect record. Moreover, out of respect for Teacher Zhou, he had no choice but to give up.

Chapter 89 Battle against Huo Yuhao's team

However, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong are special because they performed exceptionally well in the round-robin tournament, achieving a perfect record. Moreover, out of respect for Teacher Zhou, he had no choice but to give up.

From now on, Duvellen swears this will never happen again! There will only be a first time, not a second; this time is an exception…

Shen Yumo: They have great talent.

At Shrek Academy, while it's not entirely based on grades, those with strong abilities and good grades will definitely receive some preferential treatment. This is true in any academy.

"What have you two been doing? Just wait until after the competition today, Grandma Zhou will give you a piece of her mind! I was just discussing his martial soul with Brother Shen, which bought us some time and brought a smile back to Teacher Zhou's face, but it doesn't seem to have been very effective. She's still angry." Xiao Xiao said helplessly.

……

"Student Shen, let's do our best!" The innocent-looking girl approached with a cold smile, accompanied by the purple-haired boy, Zi Hao.

"Yes, Shen, the elimination rounds are coming up next. We're confident we can win the championship with you!" Zihao said with a determined look.

Shen Yumo paused for a moment, her gaze sweeping over her two teammates. Perhaps in their hearts she was just an ice block, inflexible and not good with words, and perhaps they didn't even consider her a teammate.

However, Leng Leng and Zi Hao probably already considered him the backbone of the team. Shen Yumo was wrong, terribly wrong. Yes, she was indeed quite arrogant before, and she didn't expect the two of them to play a role when she went on the field. But the facts proved that having teammates to help and being alone are completely different.

They are a team.

Thinking of this, Shen Yumo sighed, feeling relieved, and replied with a relaxed smile, "Okay!"

Then he stretched out his right hand.

Seeing this, Leng Leng and Zi Hao exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.

The three hands were clasped tightly together.

"Keep it up! You guys are the best." Shen Yumo felt a mix of emotions, perhaps ashamed, and dared not look at their faces.

Zihao laughed heartily, "Go for it!"

"Mmm!" she nodded, her voice both cold and sweet.

……

Yesterday, the trainees had a day to rest, and the assessment area has been improved. Only the partition positions needed to be changed. It has been reorganized into sixteen areas. This time, each area is several times larger, giving the trainees participating in the elimination rounds much more room to showcase their skills.

The rules for the knockout stage were simple: one match each morning and afternoon. Eliminated teams went back to class, while winning teams stayed to continue the competition. The final three teams were determined over three days.

After the draw, the competition to narrow down the field from 64 to 32 began immediately, with all 32 matches held simultaneously. This minimized the assessment time, allowing the winners ample rest time for the afternoon's matches.

Shen Yumo and her classmates were assigned to the fifteenth district this time, and the proctor was also changed. This time it was a female teacher in her thirties who looked very kind. There is no harm without comparison. Wang Yan is not at all obedient.

During the draw, they only received numbers, so they had no idea who they would face. When they arrived at the venue, they were somewhat disappointed. In the first round, they drew their own teammates from Class 1 of the freshmen, turning this elimination tournament into an internal battle!

Anyway, Shen Yumo doesn't know what the other people in the class are thinking, but he finds it quite interesting. He hopes to run into Huo Yuhao's team and see what it would be like to compete with Huo Yuhao when his luck is maxed out.

I don't believe Huo Yuhao can win. If that were the case, I would just go home and sleep. He is a Soul Master with two Great Soul Master teammates. How could he not beat a team that doesn't even have a Soul Venerable?

Zhou Yi believed her judgment was very accurate, and she identified Huo Yuhao and his two companions as the seed team for Class 1 of the freshmen, whose strength was naturally unmatched by other teams.

Unfortunately, the opponent I drew was...

Shen Yumo's team!

Teacher Zhou was dumbfounded. Comparing the two teams, it was clear that the scales of victory were on Shen Yumo's side. There was no Soul Master or Soul Sect master, not to mention that there was only one Soul Sect master among the six people, and that was the powerful Shen Yumo!

To be honest, she didn't expect this outcome, but no matter who wins or loses in the end, it's none of Zhou Laoshi's business. However, she still hopes that Huo Yuhao's side will win. There's no other reason; she just can't stand Shen Yumo's arrogant attitude.

Leng Leng and Zi Hao remained silent, standing firmly behind Shen Yumo, their eyes fixed intently on the woman with striking sky-blue hair.

He and she firmly believed that no matter how difficult the other party was, under his leadership there would only be one outcome: defeating them.

Upon learning of this outcome, Huo Yuhao sighed with difficulty. His gaze inadvertently met the blue-haired boy's indifferent eyes, and at that moment, Huo Yuhao's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.

He had witnessed the other man defeat senior students to achieve his own happiness, and he had also seen him personally break the spirit fusion technique of the Lan sisters. He admired and was grateful to this man from the bottom of his heart, but when he faced him, he could not awaken the fighting spirit in his heart.

Wang Dong, who had been silent, noticed Huo Yuhao's unusual behavior.

She also saw the handsome, aloof Shen Yumo and cursed inwardly, "What's so great about him!"

She gently called out to Yuhao, saying, "What's wrong with you? Our opponent this time is Shen Yumo. You should be focused and try your best to defeat her. If you don't even have this much courage, then I must have been blind and misjudged you..."

Xiao Xiao glanced at Shen Yumo with complicated eyes, but after hearing Wang Dong's words of comfort to Huo Yuhao, her eyes gradually sharpened, and she nodded in agreement.

Huo Yuhao trembled, his mind going blank. Yes, if he didn't even have this much courage, how could he talk about avenging his mother? What would he use to exact revenge?

Gently closing her eyes, she suddenly heard her mother's voice in her ears, "Yuhao..."

Mom... wait for me to avenge you, please wait for me.

"Okay!" Huo Yuhao suddenly shouted, completely disregarding the strange looks he received from those around him.

His voice choked with emotion, his eyes filled with relief, and a youthful smile appeared on his lips. He looked at Shen Yumo with kindness and said firmly, "Brother Shen, I've decided to have a fair fight with you! Win or lose, I hope we won't hold back. We're good friends in class, but in the assessment, I hope you can truly unleash your full potential and fight me!"

I know my talent is lacking and my fighting ability is limited, but I believe in my teammates! I will fight a real battle with you and your teammates…”

……

Chapter 90 Wang Dong was the first to be defeated.

Huo Yuhao's expression grew increasingly agitated.

"...I know my talent is poor and I don't have much combat power, but I believe in my teammates! I will fight a real battle with you and your teammates!" He said excitedly, his usual quiet demeanor gone, as he shouted to the three people in front of him with great pride.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's excited expression and hearing his words that were not exactly sincere, Shen Yumo's body suddenly trembled, and she suddenly thought of a sentence from her past life.

If mortals want to defy fate and change their destiny, powerless anger is useless; they can only try to find ways to change it!

A sharp glint suddenly flashed in Shen Yumo's eyes. He was right. Regardless of whether Huo Yuhao would become an enemy in the future, his spirit was worth learning from. Being his opponent would also be a good choice.

His gaze softened slightly, and a smile appeared on his lips. "Alright! I will give it my all in this fight! I hope you won't hold back either. See you on the field!" With that, he turned and left, adding to himself the same thought.

I hope to witness your Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

Everyone has a belief worth upholding. If goals and objectives differ, and someone becomes an obstacle to another, then becoming an enemy is understandable. Shen Yumo is very happy to have such a determined opponent.

Teacher Zhou and the other students in the class watched the six figures disappear into the distance in silence...

In the end, Teacher Zhou sighed and walked into the room, with the other students following behind.

"The 32nd knockout round match: Shen Yumo's team from Class 1 of the freshmen class versus Huo Yuhao's team!" the female teacher announced loudly with a spirited expression.

The teacher already knew how formidable both teams were! Both teams had achieved perfect records in previous matches, so what kind of exciting sparks would fly when they met? She was secretly looking forward to it.

Thunderous applause erupted in the arena.

A beautiful woman sat quietly in the audience, gazing at the blue-haired boy in the arena for a long time before finally revealing a beautiful smile.

"Leng Leng and I will restrain the opponent's control-type Soul Master," Zi Hao whispered in Shen Yumo's ear.

"Okay." Shen Yumo nodded.

"Game start!"

Both sides activated their respective martial souls almost simultaneously, and dazzling, colorful soul rings burst forth with light on the field.

They had heard about and seen Shen Yumo's spirit ring configuration before, but when they saw it in person, Huo Yuhao and the other two were still deeply shocked. The four spirit rings, yellow, purple, purple, and black, burst out with an incomparably dazzling light. Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and Huo Yuhao exchanged glances and saw the determination in each other's eyes.

Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and activated the mental sharing detection, instantly making Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong's perspectives incredibly clear and three-dimensional.

Wang Dong made a gesture to Xiao Xiao, and after several battles, Xiao Xiao immediately understood what he meant.

The spirit rings behind him lit up, "The Cauldron's Tremor!"

The pitch-black cauldron slammed down on the three people who were standing close together.

Wang Dongjiao shouted, and the wings of the azure Goddess of Light butterfly behind her suddenly shone brightly, her powerful soul force almost sweeping across the scene.

"Winged Blade!" Rows of sharp wings shot towards the three of them.

Zihao had privately discussed the battle strategy with Leng Leng, and the two worked in perfect harmony. The light of their martial spirits flashed, and the agile Azure Spirit Bird quickly flew into the sky. Zihao's Nine-Bend Intestine Cauldron was also unleashed.

The massive black cauldron, enveloped in black soul power, collided directly with Xiao Xiao's Soul-Shaking Cauldron, unleashing a powerful surge of soul power.

"cough……"

Zi Hao let out a muffled sigh and took a step back with a clang. Was he still no match for her Soul-Shaking Cauldron?

Seeing this, Xiao Xiao smiled smugly. The cauldron's vibration is the least afraid of head-on collisions, and it has a built-in dizzying effect.
