Chapter 118 What Makes Him Qualify?! Two Deans Compete Online for His Talent!
Huo Yuhao's mind went blank for a moment.
"Sacrifice? You mean it was originally supposed to be my Spirit, but now it belongs to Dai Huabin?"
"It must be that the Ice Emperor fused all of her original power and the bloodline of ultimate ice into Dai Huabin's Spirit."
In this way, Dai Huabin's White Tiger Spirit can acquire the ultimate ice attribute of the Ice Emperor, completing the Spirit evolution.
If Zhu Lu has a Spirit fusion skill with Dai Huabin, she might be indirectly affected in some way, and her Spirit might evolve accordingly.
"As for why Ice Emperor's aura doesn't have the smell of a soul beast, it's because Ice Emperor's essence has been completely integrated into the human soul master's body and has become part of the Spirit."
Tianmeng Bingcan spoke faster and faster.
"This also explains why Bing Di is no longer in the far north. She left the far north, found Dai Huabin, and then sacrificed herself to him."
Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, but couldn't close it for a long time.
Did Bing Di sacrifice Dai Huabin?
One of the three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, and the seventh-ranked of the Ten Ferocious Beasts, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, sacrificed herself to a human boy.
"That doesn't make sense."
It took Huo Yuhao a while to find his voice.
"Given Bing Di's personality, how could she possibly willingly sacrifice herself to a human?"
"Well..."
Tianmeng Bingcan's voice returned to its usual tone.
"I knew Bing Di back then. To be honest, Bing Di never leaves any way out when she does things; once she has decided on a path, she will see it through to the end."
If she judges that sacrificing herself to Dai Huabin is more worthwhile than facing the heavenly tribulation, she is perfectly capable of doing it.
Perhaps Dai Huabin offered some bargaining chip that Bing Di couldn't refuse!
Huo Yuhao remained silent.
He recalled the days he spent searching for Bing Di in the far north.
He walked for three days and three nights in the blizzard and almost froze to death on the ice field.
It turned out that Bing Di wasn't there at all.
She went to find Dai Huabin.
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the inexplicable feeling of suffocation in his chest.
"Brother Tianmeng, what do we do now?"
"What else can we do? Let's figure out the situation first. I suggest you don't rush to find Dai Huabin. If Bing Di is really with him, our sudden appearance might alert him."
That's the truth.
Huo Yuhao is currently level 23, not even a Soul Master yet. Dai Huabin, on the other hand, is already level 45 with a ten-thousand-year fourth ring. The gap between them is absurdly large.
"Then let's observe first. If we hold back, we'll have a chance to turn the tables and take down Dai Huabin!"
Huo Yuhao made his decision and turned to walk towards the Soul Guidance Department.
After walking a few steps, he stopped again and asked in a low voice:
"Brother Tianmeng, do you think if Bing Di really sacrificed herself to Dai Huabin, is there still a chance for my second Spirit to evolve again?"
Tianmeng Bingcan did not answer immediately.
After several seconds, the worm slowly opened its mouth:
"To be honest, you might not like to hear this, but Titan Snow Demon isn't bad, though it's definitely a level below Ultimate Ice."
But don't be discouraged. A path is made by walking it. I myself started as a tiny ice silkworm and cultivated to become a million-year-old one.
"That's not comforting at all."
"When have I ever comforted you? I've always been telling the truth."
Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes and quickened his pace, leaving the outer perimeter of the arena.
...
At the same time.
The atmosphere in the lounge next to the Colosseum was quite lively.
This lounge was originally intended for referees and invigilators. It's not a large space, with a long table and a dozen or so chairs.
There were clearly not enough chairs, so Qian Duoduo stood behind Xian Lin'er with her hands behind her back, her presence still barely noticeable.
Dai Huabin sat at one end of the long table, and Zhu Lu sat next to him on his right.
Bing Di and Xue Di sat to his left. Bing Di's pupils swept around the room, showing a clear lack of interest in the simple room.
Wang Dong'er sat opposite her against the wall with her arms crossed, with Xiao Xiao and Cui Yajie sitting on either side of her.
At the other end of the long table, Yan Shaozhe sat in the middle, with Cai Meier on his right and Xian Lin'er on his left.
Grandpa Xuanzi, carrying a wine jug, found a chair in a corner, crossed his legs, and looked like he was there to watch the fun.
Yan Shaozhe spoke first.
"Hua Bin, your class's performance in today's assessment far exceeded my expectations."
Xiao Xiao, Cui Yajie, and Wang Dong'er's grades are among the best in the history of the second-grade promotion exam.
Zhu Lu's ultimate ice and her ten-thousand-year fourth ring truly astonished me. As for you!
Yan Shaozhe paused for a moment.
"Two hundred points. The highest score in the history of the Foreign Languages Department's assessment."
Dai Huabin sat upright, showing no sign of smugness despite these words.
He was waiting for Yan Shaozhe to reveal his true purpose.
Sure enough, Yan Shaozhe changed the subject:
"I'd like to know, do the three of you possess the ultimate ice attribute from the same source?"
The question has been thrown at us.
Dai Huabin had prepared his explanation well in advance. He, Bing Di, and Xue Di had agreed on their story before they arrived.
"Dean Yan, Zhu Lu and I did indeed share the same opportunity to create the ultimate ice."
The specific details involve some of Qingyao's family secrets, so please forgive me for not being able to say more.
As for Qingyao, her ultimate ice is an innate Spirit attribute, not something she evolved through a fortuitous encounter.
Half true, half false.
But it makes sense logically.
Yan Shaozhe nodded and did not ask any further questions.
At Shrek Academy, students' opportunities and family secrets are considered private, and forcibly inquiring about them is a major taboo. This is especially true for reclusive families with Titled Douluo protecting them.
Xian Lin'er, however, couldn't hold back any longer.
"Dai Huabin, I am Xian Lin'er, the dean of the Soul Guidance Department."
I noticed that you had very precise control over your soul power during the battle, especially the last move, the fusion of soul skill, soul bone skill and fourth soul skill, which was released with almost no loss of soul power.
This control is ideal for the creation and manipulation of soul tools.
Xian Lin'er paused,
"Are you interested in studying in the Soul Guidance Department? I can personally guide you."
Cai Meier immediately turned her head.
"Xian Lin'er, you're poaching people."
"Poaching? Hua Bin is only an outer Academy student right now, he hasn't even entered the inner Academy yet! I'm not poaching, I'm recruiting!"
"you!"
"You two," Yan Shaozhe's voice interjected at the opportune moment.
Cai Meier and Xian Lin'er glared at Yan Shaozhe at the same time, making Yan Shaozhe lose face.
Yan Shaozhe coughed lightly to ease his embarrassment.
Then he brought the topic back.
"Hua Bin, your Spirit is the Ice Soul White Tiger, the ultimate ice attribute. In the entire Shrek Academy, only our Martial Soul Department has the experience of teaching ultimate Spirits."
He paused, then held up one finger.
"Throughout the thousands of years since the academy's founding, every single Soul Master with an ultimate Spirit has been a student of the Martial Soul Department. From the earliest Ultimate Fire to the later Ultimate Wind, the Martial Soul Department boasts the most comprehensive teaching system for ultimate attributes. The Soul Guidance Department—"
He turned his head and glanced at Xian Lin'er.
He didn't speak, but his expression made his meaning perfectly clear.
Xian Lin'er's expression changed immediately.
"Yan Shaozhe, what do you mean?"
She stood up from her chair, placed her hands on the table, and leaned forward slightly.
"Are you saying I'm not capable of teaching Hua Bin?"
Yan Shaozhe didn't explain, but the expression on his face said it all. The Soul Guidance Department indeed lacked the ability to teach ultimate Spirits.
Xian Lin'er snorted coldly.
"The Academy that teaches ultimate Spirits has information, so why wouldn't I go and look at it?"
Furthermore, the precision with which Hua Bin demonstrated the layered release of soul skills during the assessment, and the ability to fuse Spiritual power, soul power, and blood energy last semester—could you teach that in the Martial Soul Department? Besides the teachers, who dares to say they could teach it well?"
Yan Shaozhe was speechless.
Seeing Yan Shaozhe's discomfiture, Cai Meier immediately retorted:
"Xian Lin'er, no matter how sophisticated a soul tool is, it still needs a Spirit as its foundation. Hua Bin's foundation is the Ice Soul White Tiger, which is a combat-type Spirit. If you send him to the Soul Tool Department to spend all day holed up in the laboratory tinkering, isn't that a waste of his talent?"
"Who told you that the Soul Guidance Department just stays in the laboratory?" Xian Lin'er retorted.
Dai Huabin sat there, looking left and right.
Zhu Lu leaned closer and whispered, "Hua Bin, they're arguing."
"I saw it."
"Aren't you going to stop them?"
"Why stop them? Let them argue. The louder they argue, the better the terms we get."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Lu exclaimed, "That's really true!"
Bing Di rested her chin on her hand on the other side, her beautiful eyes darting back and forth between Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er.
Although she had taken human form, her innate beast instincts remained. She could keenly sense that the struggle between the two humans had nothing to do with strength, but rather seemed to be a fight for territory.
Xue Di sat upright, her white hair hanging down the back of the chair, her face expressionless.
However, her Spiritual energy had already secretly probed the area, giving her a rough idea of the strength of everyone present.
It seems that as long as none of the Dragon God Douluo intervenes, Bing'er and I will be safe.
Meanwhile, Cai Meier and Xian Lin'er were still arguing.
Yan Shaozhe tried to mediate, but the more he tried, the more incompatible things became, and neither side was satisfied.
"Alright."
Xuanzi interrupted their argument.
He poured a mouthful of wine from the flask, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and waved slowly.
"You two should talk about what terms you're offering this kid. All you do is talk and argue. What kind of behavior is that?"
"Once you've set your terms, this kid will be able to think about which side to join."
