Douluo Continent: A Sister Who Loves Me From the Start

Chapter 98 Huo Yuhao's Dark Turn

Ahem! Anyway, it suits me perfectly. My fourth spirit ring is already a 40,000-year-old spirit ring, and my fifth spirit ring will allow me to obtain the ultimate spirit ring, which won't be very high, probably just a 90,000-year-old spirit ring...

The 90,000-year-old soul ring must grant the Demon Blade Thousand Blades powerful soul skills, enough to make Shen Yumo invincible at the Soul King level.

Du Weiren's words of encouragement immediately drew gasps of surprise and admiration from the first-year students. This reward was tantamount to a promise from the academy, and it was more exciting than any other reward. One's own strength is always the ultimate truth, and it cannot be influenced by external factors.

In other words, the next spirit ring for these award winners will inevitably be a limit spirit ring! This is a way to enhance their own strength.

Du Weilun continued, "In view of the outstanding performance and undefeated record of the champion Shen Yumo team throughout the competition, the academy has decided to award them a special prize."

The academy will keep this award confidential. You can come with me to collect it after the class assignments are completed.

There are special rewards too? Leng Leng and Zi Hao exchanged another glance, their joy overflowing. The last surprise was already great, but this one is even more surprising. Just how many rewards has the academy prepared?

The other students who participated in the elimination rounds had no doubt about this title. They had witnessed the progress of Shen Yumo's team and truly seen their glory.

I have also witnessed the combat power of Shen Yumo, a high-level Soul Master. You should know that Shen Yumo is the leader of the four newly formed giants, a Soul Master! The other three Soul Venerable giants were also defeated by Shen Yumo's blade.

The teams led by Ning Tian, ​​Xie Huanyue, and Dai Huabin were all defeated by Shen Yumo's blade, and even Huo Yuhao's team was no exception. It is reasonable for this team, led by the strongest newcomer, to receive such a reward.

"why?"

Huo Yuhao's expression was as everyone's eyes were on Shen Yumo.

His eyes were no longer gentle and kind; instead, they held a terrifying ferocity. Tears welled in Huo Yuhao's eyes as he gritted his teeth and muttered repeatedly, "Why?"

why?

From some point onward, Huo Yuhao's desire to win began to drive him like a demon, and his heart cried out, "Why? I am the victor!"

Even Dai Huabin couldn't beat me, so why are you doing this, Shen Yumo? The championship is clearly mine! Why are you trying to steal it? Why!

Wang Dong noticed Huo Yuhao's unusual behavior. Huo Yuhao's hands were clenched, his face was full of ferocity, and his eyes were fixed on the ground as if he had seen his father's killer.

Wang Dong was stunned. When had he ever seen such a gentle and obedient young man have such an expression and behavior?

What caused him to become like this?

Wang Dong turned his gaze to the indifferent-looking blue-haired boy standing on the podium. Wang Dong frowned. Could it be because of him?

Wang Dong himself doesn't care much about reputation, and he didn't know that the championship would be so important to Huo Yuhao!

This is very unusual. Judging from his usual behavior towards Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao doesn't seem like someone who would go to such lengths for fame. So why is he like this? Could it really just be the impact of not winning the championship?

What Wang Dong didn't know was that much of his mentality was also caused by the personal grudges between Shen Yumo and Huo Yuhao, who was possessed by Tianmeng. It could be said that Huo Yuhao was completely affected by the consciousness of a million-year-old soul beast.

Du Weilun said, "The quality of this year's freshmen is even better than before. I hope you will continue to work hard. Heaven rewards diligence. No matter how talented you are, you will not reap good rewards without effort. Our Shrek Academy is the number one Soul Master Academy on the continent. I hope that you will all graduate smoothly and achieve excellent results. In view of the outstanding freshmen who have emerged in this year's freshman competition, the academy has specially approved a group of students to become core disciples of the outer academy. Now I will announce the list."

Shrek Square fell silent. Core disciples weren't just those from the top three teams! Although Du Weiren hadn't said it, everyone knew that core disciples would receive preferential treatment from the academy's resources. With their own interests at stake, the students listened intently, afraid of missing their names.

Zihao couldn't stop smiling, and when he looked at the blue-haired boy beside him whom he respected, his mood calmed down.

Shen Yumo's lazy gaze inadvertently swept over Huo Yuhao. Seeing the other's gloomy expression, Shen Yumo wanted to laugh. So, Huo Yuhao, you also suffer from fame and fortune? What are you pretending to be, a saint and gentleman... Heh...

That's not all. There's something even more infuriating for Huo Yuhao: what abilities can a one-ring Soul Master have? In Shrek Academy, where everyone is a Great Soul Master, a one-ring Soul Master like you definitely won't be able to get into the inner courtyard.

Du Weilun opened the folder in his hand and read aloud: "Based on the performance of the new students in the assessment, the core disciples who have been approved by the academy are: Shen Yumo, Zi Hao, Leng Leng, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Zhou Enchen, Cao Jinxuan, Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, Ning Tian, ​​and Wu Feng."

When Du Weilun mentioned the core disciples, Zi Hao shouted excitedly, drawing strange looks from those around him. Zi Hao, however, paid no attention and almost hugged Leng Leng on the spot.

Next, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao's names appeared first, both visibly excited. However, to their surprise, Huo Yuhao's name didn't appear after them. It went straight to Dai Huabin. How could this be? Huo Yuhao was their leader!

Shen Yumo also knew a thing or two about the relationship. Although Huo Yuhao's operation as a one-ring Soul Master was very impressive, he was still far behind in terms of talent. Talent is something that is innate and cannot be changed. If it weren't for the help of the million-year Soul Beast and the Ice and Snow Emperors, how could Huo Yuhao have achieved godhood?

As Du Weiren continued reading, they still held onto a sliver of hope, but in the end, they still didn't hear Huo Yuhao's name.

Huo Yuhao was also stunned. In an instant, he felt as if something had been emptied out of his heart, and his face turned pale.

From the day he entered Shrek Academy, he devoted himself entirely to his studies, training relentlessly every day to improve. While others rested, he trained; while others slacked off, he continued to train. After the freshman assessment began, he worked even harder with his classmates, ultimately achieving second place among the freshmen. But why? Why wasn't I among the core disciples? Why is this?

Everything around him seemed to become unreal, and the faces of the people around him gradually transformed into a face full of mockery and ridicule in Huo Yuhao's eyes.

Chapter 99 Huo Yuhao's Darkening (Part 2)

Everything around him seemed to become unreal, and the faces of the people around him gradually transformed into a face full of mockery and ridicule in Huo Yuhao's eyes.

Every second of insults flooded my mind like a tidal wave; all I heard was no longer praise, but endless ridicule and humiliation.

Despite his calm and collected demeanor, Huo Yuhao harbors a dark side unlike most. The darkness that had accumulated since childhood nearly erupted when he met Dai Huabin, but he managed to suppress it with his reason. Now, however, he felt he could no longer hold back. Why...why did this to me? He finally understood why Du Weilun had announced their arrival as Wang Dong's team instead of Huo Yuhao's—it had all been planned long ago!

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, standing beside Huo Yuhao, naturally sensed his unusual behavior. Wang Dong quickly grabbed Huo Yuhao's arm, fearing he might act impulsively. But now he didn't know what to say. He and Xiao Xiao had both become core disciples, but Huo Yuhao hadn't. What would Huo Yuhao think?

Du Weilun continued, "Given that some freshmen, despite lacking in talent and ability, demonstrated outstanding performance in the freshman assessment, the academy has decided to grant them the status of core disciples temporarily until the end of this academic year. If they achieve a breakthrough in next year's promotion exam, they will be considered for formal core disciple status. The list is as follows: Huo Yuhao, Cui Yajie, Huang Chutian, Long Xiangyue, Nanmen Yun'er." (The announcement is complete.)

Huo Yuhao's gaze was slightly vacant, the resentment in his heart gradually subsiding. Yes! I am lacking in ability. Among the people announced by Director Du Weilun, I am the only one whose cultivation level is below level twenty. Core disciple treatment, what a wonderful core disciple treatment! A trace of sorrow flashed in his eyes. Slowly lowering his head, Huo Yuhao buried that sadness deep in his heart.

Perhaps, without the fusion skill between me and Wang Dong, I wouldn't even have this core disciple status. But who can I blame? I can only blame my own lack of strength. I can only blame the fact that my first spirit ring was only at the ten-year level in their eyes. A self-deprecating smile appeared on Huo Yuhao's lips, and when he raised his head again, a chill had crept into the light.

"Yuhao, are you alright?" Wu Dong asked in a low voice.

Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly, forced a smile, and said, "I'm fine. I'm not qualified to become a core disciple. I'm just a level seventeen Soul Master."

Wang Dong said urgently, "No, that's not it. They don't know how important you are..."

Xiao Xiao nodded repeatedly.

Huo Yuhao's smile became slightly more natural, but when he looked up again, the overwhelming anger in his heart could no longer be contained.

On stage!

Right on the highest stage, the blue-haired boy with extraordinary looks and outstanding temperament was looking at him, his light blue pupils filled with mockery and ridicule!

The faint smile at the corner of his mouth was fully displayed before him!

asshole!

Huo Yuhao's eyes immediately turned bloodshot. It turned out that the other party had been watching his predicament all along, mocking him, and looking down on him!

Perhaps, perhaps even that day, under the pretext of cleaning, I was openly humiliating myself!

She was still foolishly thanking him for his kindness! Bastards, they're all bastards, not a single one of them is good!

"Yuhao!"

"Yuhao, what's wrong?"

"Wake up!"

Wang Dong was almost scared to death. If Huo Yuhao was a calm and rational person before, he was now a wild beast that could unleash its wildness at any moment!

His bloodshot eyes looked as if they wanted to tear everything apart!

As Wang Dong called out, Tian Meng in the Sea of ​​Spirit also sensed something was wrong and quickly poured her own source power into Huo Yuhao.

The raging magma immediately calmed down after being irrigated and cooled by the seawater.

The bloodshot eyes disappeared, and the bone-chilling coldness vanished without a trace, leaving Huo Yuhao with a feeling of weakness and helplessness.

At that moment, all he wanted to do was lie in bed and whine to himself...

But the immense hatred within him was gradually unleashed, like a domesticated beast slowly tearing apart the cage that imprisoned it.

……

Having witnessed all of this, Shen Yumo smiled calmly and turned her head away, seemingly indifferent. No matter how much a weak person struggles, they are still weak. Anger cannot change the fact that you are weak.

Perhaps you've already suffered enough, but it was unwise of you to provoke me. When that giant worm in your spiritual sea makes the decision for you, we are destined to be enemies!

It gave you a second life, but that doesn't mean you have the confidence to go against me!

Shen Yumo only stared for a moment before looking away.

Everything was not delayed because of Huo Yuhao, and everyone continued to listen in an orderly manner.

Next came the class division. The entire first year was divided into three classes: Class 1 consisted of offensive and control-type Soul Masters; Class 2 consisted of defensive and agile-type Soul Masters; Class 3 consisted of support-type Soul Masters; and Class 4 consisted of Soul Masters and Weapon Soul Masters with various special attributes, including food-type and healing-type Soul Masters.

Undoubtedly, Class One is the strongest overall, and Shen Yumo, Leng Leng, and Zi Hao were all assigned to this class. The strongest in Class Two is undoubtedly Xie Huanyue, who excels in defense; his Pikachu Elephant Martial Soul is truly unique. Class Three consists of support-type Soul Masters, not all of them are supportive, but rather those who can directly provide support in battle. For example, Ning Tian, ​​the owner of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul. As for Class Four, they consist of hybrid Soul Masters. Relatively speaking, they don't have much combat power, but they often possess remarkable abilities in certain special areas. The two most important types are food-type and healing-type.

Almost every grade is divided into classes in this way, with smaller classes for higher grades. Shrek Academy's dropout rate has always been extremely high. Even among the students who successfully graduate from the outer academy, no more than fifty students per year. In other words, it would be quite good if 20% of the current 300-plus students made it to the end.

Next came the introductions of the homeroom teachers for each class. For Huo Yuhao, the only good news was that Zhou You had become one of the homeroom teachers for Class 1, Grade 1, meaning each class would have two homeroom teachers. Huo Yuhao, who had almost lost his temper earlier, felt a little relieved upon hearing this good news.

However, his hatred for Shen Yumo remained undiminished. If Shen Yumo knew this, she would be furious. What did I do to offend you? I just won the championship with my strength. Is it necessary to hate me like this?

Huo Yuhao's extremely twisted emotions slowly erupted from this moment, perhaps without even his own awareness.

Chapter 100 (the filler chapter) can be bypassed.

Huo Yuhao's extremely twisted emotions slowly erupted from this moment, perhaps without even his own awareness.

……

"Shen Yumo, come with me. This mysterious reward will belong to you. This is the first time the academy has given such a generous reward for the freshmen assessment. Even I am envious of you." Du Weilun walked up to Shen Yumo with a folder tucked under his arm and gestured for the others to follow.

what?

Is this the first time such a large reward has been given for the assessment of new students?

Du Weilun's landing was perfectly timed, leaving everyone present stunned. It was hard to imagine what the best reward the wealthiest academy on the entire continent could offer, but one could imagine that it was an extremely generous reward!

Everyone looked at them with unspoken envy, and no one noticed that Huo Yuhao's eyes held a deeper resentment.

Zihao and Leng Leng excitedly followed behind Du Weilun, while Shen Yumo followed leisurely, seemingly unconcerned about what the reward was.

Shen Yumo knew that it was just a thousand-year-old soul bone. Before leaving, Bingdi had given her several thousand-year-old soul bones in her spatial soul tool, but since they were not suitable for Shen Yumo to use, they had been left there.

Hmm, I'm thinking, maybe I can give another one to Leng Leng or Zi Hao, since the academy can only give one at most. Shen Yumo herself doesn't need it, so it's only two people left. Given that there's only one soul bone, it's not good to give it to either of them. If it's given to one person, it's impossible for the other person not to feel disappointed.

So we could consider giving another piece of soul bone to one of them. Since it's just sitting there anyway, we might as well do them a favor.

……

After passing through the assessment area and the teaching area, we followed Du Weilun into the teachers' office area.

Du Weiren's office wasn't large, but it was still considered quite spacious.

Du Weilun sat down first, followed by Zi Hao and Leng Leng. Du Weilun looked around but didn't see the blue-haired boy, and asked in confusion, "Shen Yumo didn't come?"

Zihao and Leng Leng suddenly realized what was happening. They exchanged a glance and looked back before noticing Shen Yumo slowly entering the teacher's office.

"Director Du, I've been right behind you. Why are you two walking so fast? Honestly," Shen Yumo teased the two with a smile.
