Chapter 46 Twins
The first half of the freshman assessment quickly came to an end. Because Huo Yuhao and his two companions displayed overwhelming strength in the first match, their subsequent opponents offered little resistance and readily conceded defeat.
After all, not everyone is as stubborn as Ouyang Junyi and his group. After realizing that their group had no chance of winning, they wisely chose to avoid Huo Yuhao and his group and conserve their strength to prepare for the assessment of other groups.
As a result, Huo Yuhao and his two companions have been quite carefree these past few days, achieving a perfect record of five wins out of five with minimal effort. This means that the elimination rounds of the freshman assessment are basically over.
Next up is the qualifying round for the top 64, which will still be a group ranking tournament, with rankings based on the number of wins. Unlike their previous smooth sailing, Huo Yuhao and his team will likely rarely encounter opponents with all members at the first level of their rings. They will most likely face challenges from several strong groups.
After Huo Yuhao and his two companions were regrouped by drawing lots, they were joined by five new groups of freshmen to continue the assessment.
These freshmen certainly won't be the top students from other exam regions, so the next five round-robin matches definitely won't feature the seeded teams from each region. After all, the academy is just selecting outstanding students. But compared to before, it won't be as easy.
The person in charge of assessing Huo Yuhao and his team was still Li Xian, who remained expressionless as always. After a quick glance to confirm that most of the candidates had arrived, he announced, "Everyone is here. Get ready for the assessment. Since Huo Yuhao's team achieved the best result of five wins in five matches in this assessment area, they will be the seeded team for the first round of assessments. Class 1: Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, vs. Class 7: Huang Chutian, Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo."
Both entered at the same time. Huo Yuhao was already somewhat prepared after hearing the names, but he couldn't help but be surprised when he suddenly saw a pair of twin sisters. Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao beside him were no less surprised, their expressions clearly showing their astonishment.
The twins both have similar long blue hair, delicate little faces with rosy cheeks, and look very cute. They seem to be a little younger than them.
Standing among them was a burly young man, who was the team leader—Huang Chutian.
"My name is Huang Chutian. The one on the left is Lan Susu, and the one on the right is Lan Luoluo. Please give me your guidance."
"I am Huo Yuhao, this is Wang Dong, and this is Xiao Xiao. Please give me your guidance."
Both sides took their positions. Huo Yuhao remained motionless at the very back of the line, while Wang Dong stood at the very front, and Xiao Xiao was in the middle.
On the opposite side, Huang Chutian was at the front, while the twins stood behind him.
Seeing that both sides were almost ready, Li Xian said in a deep voice, "The assessment begins."
Both sides immediately released their martial spirits. Huang Chutian roared and pounded his chest with both fists. His original height of 1.5 meters instantly increased to 1.8 meters. His strong muscles burst through his school uniform, and the exposed skin immediately turned iron black.
Two yellow spirit rings rose simultaneously from beneath his feet, and a powerful aura instantly spread out, clearly indicating that Huang Chutian was a power-type, offensive spirit master.
Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo behind him also released their martial spirits at the same time. Their long blue hair moved without wind, turning into barbs ready to be fired.
Two spirit rings, both yellow, appeared beneath the feet of the two girls. Then, with a gentle flick of their heads, their long hair, which had transformed into sharp spikes, scattered and spread rapidly through the air, eventually becoming blue strands over ten meters long. These strands floated in the air like spider webs, instantly arousing suspicion.
In the first match of the round of 64, Huo Yuhao and his team encountered a team whose members were all at the second level of the ring. Their luck was truly unbelievable.
On the other side, Wang Dong immediately spread his butterfly wings and soared high into the air. The magnificent Goddess of Light butterfly, upon its appearance, once again became the sole focus of the entire audience. The eyes of the two little girls, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, sparkled, and their gazes towards Wang Dong changed slightly.
Xiao Xiao, who witnessed this scene, grinned, almost laughing. After all, in her opinion, Wang Dong would never like girls. This guy only knew how to hang around Huo Yuhao all day long. She could tell that Wang Dong's orientation was abnormal!
If Huo Yuhao hadn't been still normal, Xiao Xiao would probably have been heartbroken and weeping bitterly long ago.
Huang Chutian let out a low roar and charged towards Wang Dong, his powerful footsteps making the ground thud. When he was about three meters away from Wang Dong, he leaped forward, his fists aimed straight at Wang Dong.
Wang Dong closed her wings and took the blow head-on.
"Boom!" A huge collision sound rang out instantly, and Wang Dong was actually slammed to the ground by the blow. He staggered a few steps before he regained his balance.
Huang Chutian didn't give Wang Dong a chance to react. He immediately jumped up again and swung his fist at Wang Dong.
Just at the critical moment, the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron silently appeared in front of Huang Chutian. Because Huang Chutian bumped into it, the reaction force caused him to fall to the ground in a sorry state.
Huang Chutian eased his stiffness slightly, but the other two black cauldrons following closely behind did not give him the chance. Helpless, he could only punch the black cauldrons with both fists.
But when he actually smashed it, the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron suddenly retreated a little distance, forcing his attack to miss. The immense force and inertia caused his body to lose its balance slightly, and his body stiffened for a moment.
Guided by the accurate mental detection, Xiao Xiao instantly smashed the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron. Huang Chutian hurriedly returned to defend and was directly knocked away by the giant cauldron.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Dong, who was already prepared, rushed away with the winged guillotine, and the sharp edge of the butterfly wing was about to land on Huang Chutian.
Just then, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo locked eyes and clasped hands. A powerful surge of soul energy erupted from them. Their previously ten-meter-long blue hair instantly grew wildly, forming a gigantic net in the air that lunged towards Wang Dong.
Using a net to catch butterflies is the perfect method.
Casting a net—this was the identical first soul skill of the twins. The two identical skills, combined with the twins' shared spiritual connection, formed a powerful combo attack. When the giant net enveloped Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection found absolutely no blind spots or flaws.
Huang Chutian was also able to withdraw from the front line of the competition.
However, the sisters underestimated Wang Dong's strength. The Goddess of Light Butterfly was a top-tier offensive beast spirit of excellent quality. How could their hair net possibly block the first spirit skill released by the Goddess of Light Butterfly—Winged Guillotine?
The next instant, the sharp edge of the butterfly wing sliced a huge gap in the hairnet and rushed towards Huang Chutian, who was retreating.
