Chapter 26 Freshman Assessment, Huo Yuhao Transmigrates to the Third World
Watching the figure slowly stand up, the lightning around him gradually dissipating.
The previously noisy battle arena fell silent for a moment, before erupting into even more heated discussions.
"That lightning... it was so fast!"
"Is he Huo Yuhao, the one rumored to have the 'strongest link'? That entrance was certainly quite a show."
The judge in charge of the assessment coughed lightly twice, somewhat awkwardly, breaking the slightly strange atmosphere.
"Ahem... Now that Huo Yuhao has arrived in time, let's officially begin the assessment!"
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao quickly went onto the field and stood beside Huo Yuhao.
"Huo Yuhao, you really weren't late!"
Wang Dong was overjoyed to see his teammates arrive at the crucial moment, and a huge weight was finally lifted from his heart.
Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, her martial spirit faintly appearing in her hand: "Great, I'll assist you from now on. My Xiao can slow down..."
However, what Huo Yuhao said next shocked them once again.
He didn't even glance back at his teammates, but stared coldly at the opponents ahead, his tone indifferent:
"unnecessary."
"I can handle these small fry on my own."
"You!" Xiao Xiao was speechless with anger.
On the other side, the three trainees who had stepped onto the field were even more furious upon hearing these words, their faces turning red with anger.
"Arrogant!"
The student in the lead, who possessed the Sword-Beak Hummingbird Martial Soul, laughed angrily, "We're all freshmen, you don't really think you can take on the three of us by yourself, do you?"
"Brothers, let him know the price of arrogance!"
Seeing the tension between the two sides, the referee stopped talking and waved his hand:
"Battle begins!"
As soon as those four words were uttered, the three people opposite instantly possessed their martial spirits.
Besides the Sword-Pecked Hummingbird, the other two possess a Soft Sword Martial Soul and a Chicken Leg Food-type Martial Soul, respectively.
The food-type Soul Master quickly chanted a spell and threw two amplified chicken legs.
Two offensive Soul Masters ate chicken legs, their Soul Power surging, and they rushed towards Huo Yuhao from the left and right.
Faced with the pincer attack, Huo Yuhao stood still, seemingly frozen in fear.
"not good!"
Xiao Xiao exclaimed in surprise and instinctively wanted to rush over to help, but was stopped by a hand.
Wang Dong stared at Huo Yuhao's arrogant back, gritted his teeth, and shook his head.
Don't go.
"If he doesn't experience failure, this megalomaniac will never learn the meaning of humility! It's good for him to suffer a bit!"
Just as the two were about to rush in front of Huo Yuhao, their swords and bird beaks about to pierce him.
Huo Yuhao finally moved.
But he neither dodged nor summoned his martial spirit.
His hands moved with lightning speed to form a cross.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
Thud! Thud!
Two plumes of white smoke exploded beside him.
Two physical clones identical to Huo Yuhao instantly rushed out, advancing instead of retreating, and crashed into the two offensive-type Soul Masters.
"A clone?"
That was the first soul skill?
A hint of disdain flashed in the eyes of the Sword-Pecked Hummingbird Soul Master. "You underestimate us! We're just clones of a one-ring Soul Master, things that can be shattered with a single blow. How strong can we be?"
Without dodging or avoiding, he directly swung his wings to slash at the charging clone.
However.
The moment he collided with that "clone," the contempt on his face instantly turned into terror.
The clone didn't shatter like a bubble; instead, it unleashed an overwhelming force that sent him flying backward.
Even more frightening is...
Huo Yuhao's true form stood behind, a cruel smile curving his lips.
"burst."
Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!
The two clones that had already gotten close to their opponent suddenly expanded violently, transforming into blinding lightning.
"Lightning Release: Shadow Clone Explosion!"
Boom—!!
Two loud thunderclaps rang out on the field.
The terrifying lightning energy instantly engulfed the two offensive-type Soul Masters.
Before they could even scream, they were blasted off the stage by the massive shockwave and high-voltage current, their bodies charred black as they crashed to the ground, foaming at the mouth and unconscious.
The smoke and dust cleared.
Huo Yuhao remained standing in the same spot, hands in his pockets, without moving an inch.
"To deal with you..."
He slowly raised his head, his scarlet Sharingan eyes looking at the only remaining food-type Soul Master on the field.
"I don't even need to lift a finger."
The support-type Soul Master, who was still holding a chicken leg, looked at his two teammates who were instantly killed, and then at Huo Yuhao, who looked like a demon god. He was so frightened that his legs went weak, and the chicken leg in his hand fell to the ground with a "splat".
"You know what to do, right?" Huo Yuhao asked calmly.
"I...I..."
The student, trembling, raised his hands and cried out to the referee:
I surrender!
The entire room fell silent.
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao stood behind, completely stunned.
They guessed that Huo Yuhao was strong, but they never expected that he could win so easily, so...unreasonably.
The battle was ended simply by two clones self-destructing?
The referee, who had never seen such a bizarre fighting style before, wiped the cold sweat from his brow and loudly announced:
"The outcome is decided! Huo Yuhao's team has won!"
...
The following day.
Huo Yuhao's team played four more matches.
The process is tedious and boring.
The opponents were still those unremarkable first or second-ring "minor" opponents. Huo Yuhao didn't even bother to use his main body; he simply used his shadow clones in combination with physical techniques to easily overwhelm everyone.
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were essentially AFK the entire time; their only tasks were shouting "666" and enduring the envious and jealous looks from their opponents after the match.
On the third day of the competition, they finally encountered a somewhat interesting opponent.
"Both parties share the same name!"
"Class 1 of freshmen: Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao."
The three people opposite also announced their names.
"Huang Chutian, Class 7 of Freshmen, Martial Soul: Hercules Ape, Level 23 Power Attack Type Great Soul Master."
"Lan Susu, her martial soul is hair, and she is a level 22 control-type Great Soul Master."
"Lan Luoluo, her martial soul is hair, and she is a level 22 control-type Great Soul Master."
A pair of twin sisters, plus a burly, aggressive character.
Right at the start of the competition, the twin sisters, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, gave everyone a surprise.
Instead of fighting their own battles, they suddenly embraced each other.
Buzz!
A surge of soul power far exceeding anything seen before erupted instantly. A deep blue aura burst forth from them simultaneously, completely obscuring their forms.
At the same time, their long hair at the back of their heads grew wildly without wind, instantly turning into a crystal-clear blue, spreading outwards like ocean waves.
Martial Soul Fusion Skill - Heavenly Net!
The countless strands of hair intertwined to form a giant net, not only sealing off the ground but also completely blocking any space for escape in the air.
Wang Dong's expression changed, and he immediately stepped forward, saying to Huo Yuhao with a solemn look:
"Huo Yuhao, be careful! This opponent is different from the past; it's a Martial Soul Fusion Skill! Its power is comparable to that of a Soul Master or even a Soul Grandmaster!"
"Stop being reckless, let's go together!"
Huo Yuhao looked at the overwhelming blue hairnet, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.
"Heh, a Martial Soul Fusion Technique?"
He chuckled softly, and instead of retreating, he took a step forward.
"Since that's the case, then I'll be a little more serious."
After saying that, he rapidly formed hand seals to everyone's astonishment.
Chou – Xu – Chen – Zi – Hai – You.
"Water Release·Water Crush Wave!"
Rumble!
A huge waterspout appeared out of thin air and surrounded his body.
The next second, the waterspout exploded, turning into a monstrous wave that instantly submerged the entire arena!
The vast expanse of blue hairnets became incredibly heavy under the impact of the giant waves, hindering their offensive.
Huang Chutian, a powerful attack-type Soul Master, was hit head-on by the giant wave and didn't even have a chance to fight back. He was knocked dizzy and disoriented and was swept out of the field like a ball.
"This...how is this possible?!"
The Lan sisters screamed in terror amidst the giant waves.
They could only desperately try to keep their hairnets embedded in the ground to stabilize their bodies and avoid being swept away.
"How could he possibly create such a large-scale water-attribute attack in a place without water?! Is his soul power limitless?!"
As the waves receded, only the twin sisters, still struggling to hold on, remained on the stage.
Huo Yuhao stood on a puddle, looking down at the two women who were in a sorry state.
"Oh? Still putting up a last-ditch resistance?"
Huo Yuhao formed hand seals again.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
Whoosh—!!!
Huo Yuhao pushed his hands out forcefully.
A visible, violent hurricane burst forth from his mouth.
The powerful airflow, like a scythe, instantly severed the Lan sisters' wet hair that was rooted to the ground.
"ah!"
Losing their anchor point, the Lan sisters cried out in surprise as they were swept up by the gust of wind and blown off the stage like two fallen leaves.
Snap.
The two fell off the field, their Martial Soul Fusion Technique was forcibly dispelled, and they lost consciousness.
On the arena, Huo Yuhao lowered his hands, looked at the empty arena, and curled his lip:
"Soul Fusion Technique?"
"It's nothing special."
Behind them, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were completely petrified.
The referee swallowed hard, looked at the boy standing amidst the mess, and announced in a trembling voice:
"The outcome...the battle is over!"
"Huo Yuhao's team wins!"
