Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Chapter 35: Zhou Yi's Desire to Accept a Disciple

Zhou Yi, however, didn't look at Ning Ruoxue, as if she hadn't heard her. Instead, she kept sizing up Liang Jingjing, who was leaning against Ning Ruoxue's arms. At this moment, she was undoubtedly shocked. Liang Jingjing seemed to have performed mediocrely throughout the entire competition, but her opponent was a genuine agility-type Battle Soul Master, while she was a food-type Soul Master.

What was the situation with food-type Soul Masters? Food-type Martial Souls were classified as support-type, which meant that normal food-type Soul Masters should be as devoid of combat ability as Ning Ruoxue and Ning Tian. This had been the case for ten thousand years.

Earlier, when Liang Jingjing announced at the beginning of the competition that she was a food-defense type Soul Master, Zhou Yi secretly regretted it, feeling that this girl had taken the wrong path and would inevitably regret it in the future. However, after truly witnessing the various methods this girl displayed, she realized that she was terribly wrong. Who said that support-type Soul Masters must be without combat power? Ten thousand years ago, Oscar, the food-type Soul Master among the original Shrek Seven Devils, didn't possess combat power? Cultivation shouldn't only be about following the rules. If one blindly followed the path of their predecessors, they would only be a slightly more outstanding scholar. In an instant, Zhou Yi seemed to have understood many things.

"Little girl, this is just a competition. Why are you fighting so hard?" Zhou Yi looked down at Liang Jingjing's pale face, her tone softened a bit, which was rare.

"I... I want to become stronger. I want to protect the people I want to protect. I don't want to be a useless person, but I don't have extraordinary talent either. What other reason is there not to work hard?" Because of her weakness, Liang Jingjing's voice was very small, so small that only a few people around her could hear it.

"Sister," Liang Siyuan stood aside, his eyes already moist without him realizing it.

"Let those two bitches get out and never set foot in the Liang family again."

"Still calling himself Young Master? That woman is crazy to climb up. How can a sparrow become a phoenix? Hehehe..."

Scenes from the past flashed through Liang Siyuan's mind. Those mocking and sarcastic voices were so harsh that he couldn't forget them even after many years. What was even more hateful was that cowardly and incompetent, irresponsible man. When he thought of his so-called father, Liang Siyuan's breathing became rapid. It was him, that man who brought shame to their mother and son, and he still remembered it in his heart.

"Just wait, I will go back. What you have bestowed upon us siblings, I will repay a hundredfold. That day won't be far away," Liang Siyuan thought. His chaotic thoughts quickly calmed down. Looking at his sister in front of him, his eyes were full of doting and gratification. "Sister, you did it. They were all wrong about you. You are not a useless person. Brother is proud of you."

"Good, good child," Zhou Yi reached out and touched Liang Jingjing's little head, her eyes full of unprecedented tenderness. She smiled and said, "Little girl, would you like to become my disciple?"

"Ah." Liang Jingjing, who was still feeling sentimental about the past, was instantly stunned. She wondered if she was too weak and was hallucinating.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Yi smiled and said, "I was a bit hasty. It doesn't matter. You can study normally first. There's no rush to become a disciple."

As soon as she said this, the surrounding students immediately understood Zhou Yi's implication. Teacher Zhou was certain that Liang Jingjing would pass the academy's assessment.

"Thank you, Teacher Zhou. I... I just met you for the first time and I'm not mentally prepared..." Liang Jingjing's mind was in a mess for a moment, and she couldn't speak smoothly.

"Alright, you guys help her down to rest first. There's still a competition to continue," Zhou Yi said. Liang Siyuan and Ning Ruoxue then helped the somewhat limp Liang Jingjing leave the center of the arena and went to the spectator area. The three of them didn't bother with formalities and randomly found a place to sit down, trying to buy time to recover their soul power, because each team had at least two matches today. They had to try their best to restore their state to prepare for the subsequent matches.

The competition continued as usual. Although they were all fighting back and forth, after seeing the wonderful performance of Ning Tian and Ning Ruoxue's team, everyone couldn't get interested in these ordinary spars. Huo Yuhao and his team didn't go on stage until the fifth match, and their opponents were a bit unexpected. The audience was indeed energized, just because Huo Yuhao's opponents were one of the teams that the audience had been thinking about, the Ning Tian team.

"The following is the fifth match, students Huo Yuhao, Dong Xinyi, Xiao Xiao, Ning Tian, Wu Feng, and Nanmen Yun'er."

As Zhou Yi's voice fell, Huo Yuhao, Dong Xinyi, Xiao Xiao, Ning Tian, Wu Feng, and Nanmen Yun'er all took the stage. The two teams stood facing each other, about ten meters apart. Dong Xinyi and Xiao Xiao looked calm and composed, without the slightest hint of tension. Their confidence came from their strength. Apart from their own strength, they also fully trusted their captain. They had seen it with their own eyes and knew that Huo Yuhao was by no means an ordinary two-ring Great Soul Master. Even if their opponent was a three-ring Soul Master, they had the confidence to fight.

Of course, there were indeed three-ring Soul Masters on the opposite side, but they were not flustered at all, because Ning Tian was not a combat-type Soul Master. Therefore, in their opinion, the result of this match was destined from the beginning.

Nanmen Yun'er and Wu Feng were eager to try. They also knew that the team standing opposite them was the strongest team in Class One, but so what? They were not afraid at all. In the past two days, they had also been overcoming obstacles and winning every battle.

Looking at the captains of the two teams again, Ning Tian was still as calm as ever, giving people the illusion that everything was under control, but in fact, she was not as calm as she appeared on the surface. Zhou Yi's teaching was known for being torturous, but one fact had to be admitted: none of the students she brought out were cowards, just like Ning Ruoxue. In fact, the truth was that all those who didn't perform well had been expelled by Zhou Yi.

Ning Tian felt the pressure in her heart increase. Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er could be carefree, but she couldn't. As the captain, she naturally had to consider more. "Although I can assist Feng'er in enhancing their strength, this enhancement is ultimately limited. The three people on the opposite side are all combat-type Soul Masters. When the battle starts, Feng'er and the others will have to face a three-on-two situation. If it were other teams, it would be fine, but the opposite side is known as the strongest in Class One and is by no means ordinary. Alas, this battle may not be satisfactory!"

Ning Tian sighed in her heart. It was very inappropriate to be timid before the battle, but she couldn't help but think, this was too rational.

Offstage, Ning Ruoxue and some others were also in the stands, and a few people breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the infighting in Class One did not happen again. Several people secretly cheered and accepted the gale! It wasn't that they couldn't accept failure, mainly because Wu Feng was too annoying, looking arrogant and making people feel uncomfortable.
