Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Chapter 30: False Pretenses

Bang!

The dormitory door was kicked open roughly, and Wang Dong strode in, plopping down on the bed. "Let me tell you, the opponents I ran into today were so weak! My teammates didn't even have to lift a finger. I took on three by myself, pretty awesome, right? How about your side? You're back so early, it must have gone smoothly, right?"

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly and smiled, "Pretty much the same as you. Xin Yi and I just watched the whole time. We ran into a combination of one two-ring and two one-ring cultivators. Xiao Xiao took care of them all by herself."

"That little girl is so fierce? You can't tell at all usually!" Wang Dong tilted his head, smacking his lips.

"Of course, she wouldn't be so fierce in front of you. Don't tell me you haven't noticed her little crush. Tsk, tsk, this skin of yours is really popular with girls!" Huo Yuhao glanced at Wang Dong, teasing.

"So what? There are plenty of girls who like me. Do I have to respond to each one? I don't want to die young. Being too handsome is also a problem. Alas, ordinary people like you will never understand. Don't admire me, I'm just a legend." Wang Dong raised his head high, putting on a show.

"Indeed, someone is naturally beautiful, even men are captivated. Alas, forget it, I, a commoner, better not experience that kind of preference."

"Huo, Yu, Hao." Hearing Huo Yuhao's nonsense, Wang Dong enunciated each word, lunging over with flailing arms.

"Alright, alright, go cool off somewhere, don't disturb my cultivation." Huo Yuhao pushed Wang Dong away.

Seeing Huo Yuhao getting serious, Wang Dong stopped. After three months of getting along, he knew very well that this guy was a cultivation fanatic. Feeling bored, he simply sat on the bed and began to cultivate. Huo Yuhao was already level twenty-nine, while he was only level twenty-five, with a long way to go to level twenty-six. As the class monitor, it was a bit embarrassing to be left behind so much.

After three months of getting along, the initial unpleasantness had long since disappeared without a trace. The two were already very good brothers. In fact, the initial conflict between the two stemmed from Wang Dong's arrogance. Growing up in the sect since childhood, he had always been the pride of the sect, a pampered little princess. When he first arrived in the outside world, he felt superior to others. However, when Huo Yuhao's strength earned Wang Dong's recognition, he naturally changed his attitude. That's what Wang Dong thought. As for Huo Yuhao, probably only he himself knew, it was all false pretenses.

The next day, the freshman assessment continued. The teams with the best scores in each area yesterday did not need to draw lots and remained in their original areas. The remaining teams continued to be divided into areas by drawing lots. In fact, this kind of operation is not difficult to understand. These teams that have not been transferred are basically the strongest teams in each assessment area yesterday. If they were shuffled and divided into various areas as before, these strong teams might meet, causing them to consume each other. For example, a team that could have entered the top 150 might be unlucky and encounter several strong teams in a row, which could very likely lead to their failure, allowing those weaker candidates to take advantage of the loopholes. This is not what Shrek Academy wants to see. They want to select students with excellent talent and strength, not those European emperors who rely on luck to muddle through. Similarly, if the scores of these teams in the area are surpassed, they will have to re-divide the area with other teams tomorrow, otherwise they can continue to stay.

Unlike yesterday, today's assessment has more than one match, so the students came to the assessment area early in the morning. Huo Yuhao, Xiao Xiao, and Dong Xinyi were considered to be relatively late.

Assessment Area No. 27. As Huo Yuhao and the others walked in, all the students present turned their attention to them. Huo Yuhao and the others also looked around, because any team in the field could become their opponent.

Suddenly, Huo Yuhao saw a familiar face in the field, short brown hair, a beautiful face, and fair and delicate skin, Ning Ruoxue. That's right, the one who appeared in Area 27 with Huo Yuhao and the others was Ning Ruoxue, who was still trying to win over Huo Yuhao the night before.

"This is really going against my wishes. Ning Ruoxue was trying to recruit me into her team the day before yesterday, and today she has become a competitor." Huo Yuhao sighed secretly. What he didn't know was that Ning Ruoxue's mood was even worse at this moment.

"Just out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den. Why am I so unlucky to meet this guy?" Ning Ruoxue thought to herself, her face extremely ugly. It turned out that her team had suffered a defeat in the first battle yesterday. Losing was fine, but it just so happened that her opponent was Wang Dong's team, the class monitor in the same class as her. Being defeated by Wang Dong's team had already made the three members of Ning Ruoxue's team very depressed, but they didn't expect to meet Huo Yuhao's team from the same class here. It felt like they were being targeted. The three members of Ning Ruoxue's team cursed endlessly in their hearts. Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's teams were recognized as the two strongest teams in their class, with Huo Yuhao's team leading.

"All freshmen, please pay attention, all freshmen, please pay attention, the assessment is about to begin, please all candidates go to their respective assessment areas."

Along with the sound of the broadcast, the freshmen cheered up, eager to try, looking around at the other freshmen around them. The assessment area is like a ring, except for the ring leader teams like Huo Yuhao, the other teams are not convinced by anyone.

"Participating freshmen, Ning Ruoxue's team, Ning Tian's team." After waiting for ten minutes, Zhou Yi appeared in the exam area on time and briefly announced the list.

Ning Ruoxue in the crowd stood up straight, her clenched hands proving her nervousness, but she breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that her opponent was not Huo Yuhao's team. Her originally tense expression relaxed a lot, which shows the pressure Huo Yuhao brought to her.

The two teams stood in the north and south respectively, with a safety distance of more than ten meters in the middle.

"Freshman Class One, Ning Ruoxue, level twenty-three auxiliary-type tool soul master." Ning Ruoxue was obviously in charge of their team and spoke first.

"Freshman Class One, Liang Siyuan, level twenty-four assault-type battle soul master." The person who spoke was a tall, thin boy, who was also the person with the highest cultivation level in Ning Ruoxue's team.

The remaining one was a slightly chubby girl. The girl was obviously a little shy. When the eyes of the crowd gathered on her, she quickly lowered her head and said timidly: "I, my name is Liang Jingjing, Freshman Class One, level twenty-two defensive battle soul master."

Liang Jingjing's voice was very small, but everyone present was not an ordinary person, so they naturally heard it clearly.

This is just a small episode, and nothing can be judged solely on the surface.

"Freshman Class Nine, Wu Feng, level twenty-five assault-type battle soul master." At this time, a short red-haired girl in the opposite Ning Tian team spoke. The girl was considered pretty, but she raised her head high, and with her undisguised tone, anyone could see her arrogance.
