Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Chapter 29: Going to Battle

Several faces wore bitter expressions. What bad luck! If they didn't perform well, who knew how the old woman would torment them later.

What they didn't know was that the teacher in charge of examination area twenty-seven wasn't originally Zhou Yi; she had personally requested the transfer.

Bei Bei patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder to comfort him, but his sly smile betrayed him. It turned out that Zhou Yi had also taught Bei Bei's class before she was demoted. They had been tormented to the point of near-death by this old woman. Now, seeing the new junior brother encounter this old woman was like an experienced veteran watching a fresh-faced newbie get a harsh dose of reality, with a hint of schadenfreude.

"Understood," the students replied in unison, bowing to Zhou Yi in perfect synchronization. A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. In just three months, Class One had eliminated more than fifty people. Everyone in the outer courtyard knew about it. These new students restrained their usual casualness, not daring to provoke this one. What if she got unhappy and made things difficult for them?

Moreover, after the assessment, the classes would be reorganized. If they were unlucky enough to be assigned to her class, it would be better to keep a low profile.

"I reiterate once again that injuring or crippling your opponent is absolutely forbidden during the assessment. Otherwise, the academy will definitely investigate to the end. Believe me, that's definitely not the outcome you want."

"Everyone ready? Then, please have the students for the first match of the first round come forward: Huo Yuhao, Xiao Xiao, Dong Xinyi, Yan Xiaobo, Yan Xiaolang, Yan Tongtian." Even Zhou Yi, who was known for her iron face, looked slightly unnatural when she read the last name.

The students whispered to each other, stifling giggles. This name was just too much. What was his father thinking when he named him? Wasn't he afraid his son would get beaten to death when he went out?

"Dad, you've really done me in!" Below the stage, a young man in a white uniform looked bitter, complaining inwardly. Hearing the surrounding discussions, he just wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in because he was the Yan Tongtian being discussed.

"Xiaotian, it's our turn to go on!" A young man beside him reminded him.

Helpless, even though Yan Tongtian was unwilling, the assessment couldn't be delayed. He could only grit his teeth, lower his head, and step onto the battle stage with his two companions.

On the other side, Huo Yuhao and his companions had already taken the stage to wait. "Xiao Xiao, level twenty-two Battle Soul Master."

"Her name is Dong Xinyi, level twenty-one Battle Soul Master," Xiao Xiao helped introduce, as Dong Xinyi was unable to speak.

"Huo Yuhao, level twenty-nine Battle Soul Master, please advise." Following Xiao Xiao, Huo Yuhao also introduced himself. Actually, he didn't want to be so high-profile, but since Xiao Xiao and Dong Xinyi had already introduced themselves, it would seem like he was showing off if he didn't speak.

Zhou Yi glared fiercely at the three Huo Yuhao. How could she not see through these little brats' tricks? Xiao Xiao's performance made her admit that she had underestimated this little girl.

"Yan Xiaobo, Martial Soul: Azure Wolf, level twenty-three Battle Soul Master," said a burly young man from the Yan Tongtian team on the stage. His eyes were fixed on Xiao Xiao, the one who had made them so embarrassed.

"Yan Xiaolang, Martial Soul: Azure Wolf, level nineteen Soul Master," said another young man beside him who looked similar to Yan Xiaobo. He was Yan Xiaobo's younger brother, and like his brother, he had a rather impressive physique.

At this point, everyone knew who Yan Tongtian was. All eyes focused on Yan Tongtian, who was standing next to Yan Xiaobo. They saw a short, chubby young man who looked like an oval ball. His expression was timid, completely mismatched with his domineering name.

"Look how fat he is. His soul power isn't even level twenty, yet he wants to rule the heavens? Hehehe, I'm dying of laughter."

The students whispered, occasionally bursting into laughter, but they deliberately lowered their voices because Zhou Yi was present.

"Yan... Yan Tongtian, Martial Soul: White Wolf, level seventeen." Being stared at by so many people, the little fatty was somewhat timid, constantly leaning behind Yan Xiaobo.

"Alright, don't waste time, begin," Zhou Yi prompted in a timely manner, also helping Yan Tongtian out of the awkward situation.

"Drink!"

With Zhou Yi's command, Yan Xiaobo roared, and two yellow soul rings rose from beneath his feet. As the soul rings appeared, his fingernails lengthened, and a large amount of cyan hair grew all over his body. His height increased by twenty centimeters, and two long fangs were exposed from his mouth. His eyes glowed with a dark green light as he stared at Huo Yuhao and his companions, as if staring at his prey.

The momentum was good, but the onlookers shook their heads, not optimistic about Yan Tongtian's side. The others were three Soul Masters, one of whom had a soul power as high as level twenty-nine. What could they do with one two-ring and two one-ring?

The other two also activated their martial souls. The appearance of the two after activating their martial souls was similar to Yan Xiaobo's, except that Yan Tongtian's hair was snow-white, while the other two were cyan.

The three of them looked troubled. Not only the onlookers, but they themselves couldn't see much hope of winning. The strength gap was too large. They could only fight hard, and as for the result, it wasn't up to them.

Sure enough, three minutes later, with a crash, Yan Xiaobo was knocked to the ground by a large black cauldron. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, panting heavily, looking at the opposite side with a bitter expression. It was hard to put into words. The other side had only sent out one person to defeat their combined efforts.

"We... we surrender," Yan Xiaobo said with difficulty. Although he really didn't want to say these words, looking at his two teammates who had already fainted, he knew very well that they had lost, and the other side still had two people who hadn't even made a move from beginning to end.

"Huo Yuhao's team wins," Zhou Yi announced. Her expression was normal, but a hint of a smile appeared in her eyes. Xiao Xiao's performance made her admit that she had underestimated this little girl before. "Then what surprise will you, as the captain, bring me?"

This time, the onlookers didn't laugh at Yan Tongtian and his companions. After all, the difference in strength was too great, and such an outcome was only normal.

"The students for the second match of the first round, Shen Qianwen, Yuan Hundu..."

The assessment competition continued, while Huo Yuhao and his companions had already left the assessment area. The students in the early stage of the assessment were mixed, with uneven strengths. It was difficult to see any truly exciting battles, so the three of them simply didn't bother to watch. This was also a manifestation of their confidence in their own strength.
