Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Chapter 28 New Student Assessment

Ning Ruoxue continued to smile. As expected, no one could resist the temptation of a soul bone. "The assessment is imminent. I have great faith in Student Huo's strength, and I also believe in your partners. However, I think with your current combination, it might be a bit difficult to win the championship, right?"

"Student Ning, you can speak frankly!"

"You should be familiar with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda spirit, right? I am currently at two rings and can give you a 30% increase in all attributes. With this 30% increase, I believe your strength will definitely not be weaker than the help your current teammates can give you. It's true that there's strength in numbers, but there's also a saying that one force can overcome ten skills. In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is pale and powerless, and you have absolute strength. Come on, join us and let us win the championship." After saying that, Ning Ruoxue extended her fair and delicate palm, formally extending an invitation to Huo Yuhao. Her smile was kind and sincere, as if she was already certain that Huo Yuhao would agree. It's still that saying, no one can resist the temptation of a soul bone, and Huo Yuhao will be no exception. As for that short-lived team friendship, save it. A cold person like Huo Yuhao wouldn't care about those things.

Of course, these were just Ning Ruoxue's wishful thinking. The next moment, Huo Yuhao's words left her speechless. "Sorry, your conditions are very tempting, but compared to charging alone, I am more willing to trust my teammates. They will be my strongest support. Student Ning, please find someone else. I'll go up first, goodbye."

Ning Ruoxue was stunned. Everyone had been watching Huo Yuhao's actions for the past three months. What nonsense about trusting teammates? She was sure that this was just a random excuse he found to reject her.

However, she then pondered. Huo Yuhao's rejection was so decisive that it was beyond her expectations. Could it be that Dong Xinyi and Xiao Xiao also had extraordinary strength, or was it that Huo Yuhao had enough confidence in his own strength? But in any case, Huo Yuhao's team was definitely a difficult and formidable opponent.

Wang Dong, huh? Ning Ruoxue looked up at the dormitory building and fell into deep thought. Failing to win over Huo Yuhao, she would settle for second best. Ning Ruoxue then thought of Wang Dong, but he and Huo Yuhao lived in the same dormitory. Ning Ruoxue felt a little embarrassed at the moment. After all, it would be a bit inappropriate to flirt with his roommate immediately after talking to Huo Yuhao. Ning Ruoxue decided to find a chance to talk to Wang Dong alone tomorrow morning.

Back at the dormitory, after opening the door, Huo Yuhao saw several people surrounding Wang Dong, not knowing what they were talking about. There was also a sweet and lovely girl hugging Wang Dong's arm, acting coquettishly. Huo Yuhao shook his head. Without thinking, these people were also here to poach him. After a simple greeting, Huo Yuhao went straight to bed and began to meditate and cultivate, also to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

The next day, the new student assessment arrived as scheduled. It is worth mentioning that no one proposed to Zhou Yi to change teams in the morning. Without a doubt, Ning Ruoxue's plan to invite Wang Dong also failed, and Wang Dong even declared that he didn't need anyone else's assistance and could win the championship on his own.

In the morning, Huo Yuhao's team of three arrived at the assessment area. Shrek Academy has a special assessment area, which is oval in shape and covers an area of 20,000 square meters. The outer perimeter is surrounded by walls, and the inner side is divided into separate areas by partitions. At this time, the huge assessment area has been divided into fifty areas, each area about 400 square meters, and the field is a square with a length and width of 20 meters.

In order to show fairness and justice, the academy randomly matched opponents for the new students by drawing lots. Of course, this fairness and justice is just for show. The academy has said in advance that it will try to avoid letting students in the same class meet in the round-robin matches. Wasn't it said that it was a lottery? Then how is this done? So this question is a matter of opinion.

There were as many as 302 new student teams who signed up for the assessment this time. Except for Class One, almost all classes had more than 30 teams. Unlike Zhou Yi, many new student class teachers would not dismiss students at will before the assessment. Even if there were individual students with poor strength, they would give them the opportunity to participate in the assessment. Whether they could stay or not depended on their ability. If they unfortunately failed, they could only blame themselves for not being competitive.

Since today is the first day of the assessment, in order for the new students to adapt better, the academy decided that each team only needs to participate in one match today and can go back to rest. Of course, they can also stay and continue to watch the matches.

Huo Yuhao and his team of three arrived at Area 27. This was the area where they would compete today. At this time, many students from other classes had also gathered here. These were all students who, like Huo Yuhao and his team, were participating in the assessment in Area 27.

There was no communication between the new students, because no one could say for sure that they wouldn't be opponents later. If they wanted to stay, they could only eliminate others. On the other hand, some senior students were talking and laughing happily. Some of them were just watching the show, some were because they knew younger siblings or friends among the new students, and some with deeper thoughts would observe the competition to judge who needed to be won over. These people were often from large families. Compared to other peers, they considered more, because very few of these new students would be able to enter the inner courtyard in the future. Their idea was to try to absorb these excellent people into their family as much as possible. Not to mention that the family would give them great credit, there were also deeper political implications. If they had the opportunity to compete for a high position in the family or even the head of the family in the future, then these people they had guided into the family would most likely become very good assistants to them.

"Yuhao, this way."

"Attention all new students, attention all new students, please immediately enter your respective assessment areas to prepare for the new student assessment. There are only ten minutes left, and those who are late will be considered to have given up this assessment."

The broadcast sounded, spreading throughout the outer courtyard, making the new students nervous. Three months of preparation would be put to the test in these few days, and it would also determine whether they could stay.

At this time, an old woman with gray hair and a wrinkled face walked into the entrance of the twenty-seventh assessment area. The surrounding students saw the old woman and the originally noisy scene instantly quieted down. Everyone was afraid to breathe loudly. This old woman's temper was notoriously bad, and they must not offend her.

"My name is Zhou Yi, and I think you all know me. I am responsible for the assessment in this area today. There are a total of six participating teams in this area. When I call your name during the assessment, come on stage within five minutes. Overtime will be considered a waiver. Do you all understand?" It turned out that the old woman who walked in was Zhou Yi, the head teacher of the new student class. Moreover, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Zhou Yi glanced at Huo Yuhao and his team after finishing speaking.
