RNP Chapter 49 Freshman Competition
Chapter 49 Freshman Competition
Lan Xuanyu's confidence was not without reason.
First of all, he had fought against Huo Yuhao, the God of Emotions, in his previous life and was very familiar with his fighting methods.
He's just a god-king who's somewhat skilled in mental power; to put it bluntly, that guy's attacks are like tickling him...
Although Huo Yuhao is a Soul Master in this life, he is also one! In Lan Xuanyu's view, there is no reason for him to lose to such a guy.
During the three months since enrolling, he has focused more on stabilizing his bloodline to prevent conflicts. His soul power has not increased significantly, except for a two-level increase after taking the Soul Enhancement Pill provided by the academy, bringing him to level thirty-four.
Cultivation level is just a number. Just like in my previous life, when I was level 99, I had the combat power to rival a half-step God King. What really matters is one's own hard power!
Looking at Aunt Wang Dong, after three months of arduous training and a tiny amount of insignificant cultivation resources, Wang Dong's soul power level has now risen from level twenty-one to a terrifying level twenty-six, advancing five levels in just three months.
See that? That's the power of pay-to-win... the power of genius.
Although Xiao Xiao seems to be unknown, she is still one of the Shrek Seven Devils of the same generation as Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong. She has a rare twin martial soul, so she must have some skills.
Tell me loudly in four words what this situation is!
……
The next afternoon, Shrek Academy's external assessment area.
After the morning's group draw, the venue was now divided into sections. Teachers from each class had already led their students to their seats in the spectator stands.
In a relatively secluded corner, a red figure silently watched the competition.
Of course, she was only looking at one person.
Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao was assigned to the first group and was the first to go on stage.
As for his opponents...
With striking long pinkish-blue hair and a hairstyle resembling dog ears, the petite girl beside her didn't really stand out much.
They were the seed team of Class One, the Lan Xuanyu team, on whom high hopes were placed.
The academy attached great importance to this competition, which was also a test for Huo Yuhao. Therefore, the referee changed Wang Yan to Du Weilun, the head of the Department of Foreign Languages and a Soul Douluo.
Although Huo Yuhao was all alone, strangely enough, no one thought he was the weaker party.
The four entered the arena and stood on one side of the competition platform.
Lan Xuanyu looked at Huo Yuhao with a hint of disdain. In his opinion, he didn't need any help to beat Huo Yuhao; he could do it all by himself. It was really unnecessary.
Xiao Xiao: So handsome...
Wang Dong's eyes flickered as he looked at Huo Yuhao's handsome yet expressionless face, and for some reason, he felt particularly uncomfortable.
It seems... it seems like I should be the one standing next to him...
No, no, what about Xuan Yu...?
Just as Wang Dong was struggling with his own internal struggle, Du Weilun's voice rang out, "Without further ado, let's begin the competition now. During the competition, you should all give it your all, and I will control the pace. Anyone I rescue from the competition area will be considered a loser. Do you all understand?"
All four nodded at the same time.
"The first round, the first assessment: Class 1 of freshmen: Lan Xuanyu, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao; Class 10 of freshmen: Huo Yuhao. You may release your martial spirits only after I tell you that the competition has begun."
Duvelen also raised his right hand and then swung it down forcefully.
"The assessment begins."
Wang Dong was the first to release his martial spirit. Azure wings suddenly unfurled behind him, and two spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, appeared beneath his feet. He floated into the air, gaining the advantage of terrain.
Lan Xuanyu was surrounded by three spirit rings, one yellow and two purple, an extraordinary configuration. Large patches of blue and silver vines grew out, easily recognizable as the most common Blue Silver Grass on the continent.
Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered slightly. Just like the disharmony he had sensed from Lan Xuanyu last time, there was a strange elemental reaction around Lan Xuanyu, with at least three elements: water, fire, and earth.
Using the Blue Silver Grass martial soul to control the elements?
What was this person thinking? Weren't they afraid of losing control of the elemental reactions and exploding to death?
Lan Xuanyu, riding on the Ghostly Shadow Trail, charged towards Huo Yuhao without hesitation. With a casual wave of his hand, a crystal-clear ice ball shot out.
The ice hockey puck features a striking interplay of blue and red, giving it an eerie feel.
"...!"
Huo Yuhao had to admit that he had underestimated this guy named Lan Xuanyu.
He has to take this ice hockey puck seriously; at the very least, he'll need to use his Soul Bone Skill [Earth Core] or activate his second Martial Soul, Deep Blue Glazed Dragon, to defend against it.
[It's not that I'm betting on Xiao Huo's combat strength. First, Xianyu is a reincarnated being; in his previous life, he was at least a Supreme God King, with maxed-out combat experience and elemental control. Xiao Huo has only trained in the Douluo World for a few years, so his combat experience is definitely inferior. Second, Xiao Huo's Spirit Eye Martial Soul is more control-oriented and lacks offensive capabilities.]
This ice ball is a soul skill created by Lan Xuanyu in his previous life, called the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Pearl. It is essentially a combination of water and fire element control soul skills. However, Lan Xuanyu relied on the elemental affinity of the Silver Dragon King bloodline to perfectly control it and turn it into his ultimate weapon.
Back in the Star Dou Great Forest, it was this very move that allowed him to break through the defenses of the young Rock Dragon Lizard, which was extremely adept at defense, absorb its bloodline, and gain control of the earth element.
Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron also went all out, directly using its killing move, the Cauldron's Tremor.
Wang Dong didn't hold back. He knew that Huo Yuhao had beaten him up with his bare hands before, and he wouldn't last more than a few rounds against him without using his full strength. So he used his second soul skill, Butterfly God's Light, without hesitation.
This was Lan Xuanyu's battle plan: to go all out from the start, giving Huo Yuhao no chance to react, and to kill him directly!
Seeing Lan Xuanyu's team of three charging towards him in a triangular formation, Huo Yuhao gave a speechless twitch of his lips.
What grudge do we have that's so serious...?
It seems we need to get serious.
Golden light shimmered in his eyes, accompanied by faint nine-colored ripples, and the first soul ring of his spirit eye flickered.
Mental detection sharing, mental interference domain.
His mental interference field enveloped the entire arena. With the release of his spiritual power at the Spirit Abyss Realm, even Du Weilun, who was at the Soul Douluo level next to him, felt a moment of disorientation and seemed unable to see the movements of the four people on the field.
Even a Contra Master like Du Weiren couldn't see it clearly, let alone the other teachers and students with weaker cultivation levels.
But at this moment, Huo Yuhao shared his mental detection with everyone in Lan Xuanyu's team.
Just like everyone who receives the shared mental detection, they couldn't help but be stunned by this powerful soul skill. The three members of Lan Xuanyu's team didn't react for a moment.
