Chapter 47: Second-Level Soul Guidance Badge (Middle)

  Money smiled and said, "Isn't that just the kid from last year's New Student Tournament champion team? They had two core disciples in their team, but he wasn't one of them. Because his first soul ring was only ten years old. When Fan Yu came to find me, I also thought it was a bit worthless, but after thinking about it, this kid helped me win against you after all. It's not easy for me to beat you once! In the future, when I see this kid in our Soul Guidance Department, I'll be able to recall winning against you, and that feeling will be great. So, I reluctantly agreed. I just came to say hello, but the specifics are up to Fan Yu to handle himself. Alright, I'm leaving now, there's still a lot of things to do."

  As he spoke, he stood up and walked away with a pat on his butt.

  Yan Shao Zhe watched as Qian Duo Duo left, feeling that something was off in his heart. He picked up the Soul Communicator on the table and pressed a button, injecting his own soul power into it.

  "Is it Viren?" Shensheng spoke in a low voice.

  On the other end of the phone was Du Weilun's voice, "Director Yan, it's me."

  Yan Shao Zhe Dao: "You check for me, is there a student named Huo Yu Hao who reported late?"

  Du Weilun said with some surprise, "What a coincidence! Just now, several students came to me to report that this Huo Yu Hao was late but still entered the class with an air of confidence. I was just about to go and deal with this matter."

  Yan Shao Zhe Dao: "Tell me about your understanding of this Huo Yu Hao. How is his talent?"

  Du Weilun said, "This student still has some talent. Last year, he followed Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao to win the championship of the new student assessment. He possesses a martial soul with spiritual eyes, his abilities should be similar to spiritual impact. His abilities can only be described as ordinary. However, there are signs that he has a true body martial soul. Because of being the champion of the new student assessment last year, he enjoyed core disciple treatment, but it was cancelled this year. He is late and violated school rules, so he will be expelled."

  "Shan Zhaode said: 'I remember he only had one ten-year soul ring, right?'"

  "Yes. He was admitted through the Tang door quota and did not go through the freshman assessment. It is said that when he first entered school, his soul power was only level 13. I'm not sure if it has reached level 20 now. It's possible that it hasn't, in which case he would also be expelled. As for the aspect of his innate martial soul, Wang Yan went to find Xuan Lao, and Xuan Lao had personally assessed this student before. The result was that Xuan Lao was very disappointed, saying that this student had no potential and wasn't worth cultivating. Later, this student showed off a martial soul fusion technique in the freshman assessment with Wang Dong's help, which was also his only highlight. Wang Yan went to find Xuan Lao again because of this. After Xuan Lao took another look, he confirmed that this student's innate martial soul had no chance of awakening. Since then, we haven't paid much attention to this student."

  When Du Weilun said this, Yan Shaozhe's face suddenly showed a hint of a smile. Du Weilun's ability was indeed commendable. With just an ordinary student like him, he could immediately tell his abilities and some experiences in the academy. As the head of the teaching department, he was quite qualified.

  "Alright, let's just leave it at that. You don't need to deal with this matter anymore. Earlier, Duoduo came to find me and wanted to use the quota I lost to him last time for an apprentice named Huo Yuhao. Apparently, Zhou Wei asked Fan Yu, and Fan Yu asked him. Since this apprentice's abilities are ordinary, let's just give it to the Soul Guidance Department instead. That way, Duoduo won't keep bothering me."

  "Dean Qian wants you to take someone? This is indeed a bit strange. Why don't we wait until the promotion assessment and determine this student's ability then?" Du Weilun said cautiously.

  "Alright. It's hard to say whether he can pass the upgrade assessment or not. Even if he already has two-ring abilities, with his spiritual attributes, his second soul skill won't be too strong either. The first soul ring is only ten years old, it's not worth cultivating. Let's just give it to Duoduo instead, so he won't come back and bother me again. We should show some generosity as a Soul Master. That's settled then."

  "Yes." Du Weirong responded with a single word, and both sides simultaneously hung up the Soul Communicator.

  Just like Yan Shao Si didn't take Huo Yuhao seriously, Du Wei Lun was the same. There were many excellent geniuses in Shrek Academy, and it wasn't easy for Huo Yuhao's abilities to catch their attention.

  But what they didn't know was that after leaving the Sea God Island and returning to the Outer Court of the Soul Guidance Department, Qian Duoduo immediately burst out laughing three times, with a look of extreme satisfaction on his face, even surpassing the time he won the bet against Yan Shaozhe.

  "Old words, old words, I'm really sorry, you've been deceived again. Unexpectedly, my Soul Guidance Department will one day have a student with dual martial souls. This Hao Yuehao is truly my lucky star, and once again I've profited from Old Words' mistake. Eight months to become a second-level soul guide. Dual martial souls. Top-tier ice-type extreme martial soul Ice Jade Scorpion. Perfect, perfect, hahaha..."

  ……

  Huo Yu Hao had no idea that he had become the object of competition between the Soul Guidance Department and the Martial Soul Department. At this time, he was listening carefully to Zhou Wei's explanation of the promotion examination rules. Except for new students who had just entered the school, the promotion examination was crucial for every student in the outer court. If they couldn't pass the exam, they would have to pack up and go home. Even core disciples were no exception. Of course, it had never happened before that a core disciple failed to pass the promotion examination.

  Zhou Wei stood behind the podium and said, "The assessment for first-year students to advance to second-year is relatively easy. Compared to the assessments of higher grades, yours will be much simpler. The content of the assessment for Class 1 and Class 2 are the same, while Classes 3 and 4 will have different assessments due to their own Martial Soul abilities."

  "Our assessment will be held in the Beast Fighting Arena of the Academy. I reckon many of you still don't know where the Beast Fighting Arena is located. Now, let me tell you. The Beast Fighting Arena is just south of the Dueling Arena, inside that grey high wall resembling a castle. Inside the Beast Fighting Arena are various soul beasts of different ranks captured by the Academy over the years, specifically provided for senior students to practice and hone their skills. If you can advance to the fourth year in the future, you will also be practicing in the Beast Fighting Arena. The combat lessons there will be an important assessment of your future achievements."

  "This time, the upgrade assessment will be a face-to-face battle with the Soul Beast in the Dou Beast Zone. At the same time, you will also choose which Soul Beast to confront. Different Soul Beasts represent different scores, and challenging stronger Soul Beasts will increase your chances of getting high scores in the assessment. The assessment will be scored by senior teachers from the Wu Soul Department, with a full score of 100 points. Those who reach 60 points or above can pass the upgrade assessment."

  "Here, I have a few points to remind you. First, don't be too timid. If the soul beast you choose is too weak, even if you defeat it, you may not necessarily pass. Second, don't be too reckless. If the soul beast you choose is too strong and the examiner teacher can't come to your aid in time during the battle, then..."

  As he said this, Zhou Wei's eyes flashed with a cold light, causing the students to feel a chill run down their spines. They had all seen soul beasts before, but facing one alone was not something everyone had tried. They were still young, and almost all of them had obtained their soul rings with the help of their masters. Someone like Huo Yuhao was not easily found anywhere.

  "Thirdly, you must remember that it's not necessarily the case that if you lose in battle, you'll be eliminated. If the soul beast you challenge is strong enough and you perform well during the fight, your final score may not be low after all. Moreover, the evaluation standards for control-type and attack-type are different. In this one-on-one assessment, the requirements for attack-type will be slightly higher, with the goal of defeating the soul beast. For control-type, on the other hand, it's mainly about controlling the soul beast, and the score is based on how long you can sustain the fight."

  Huo Yu Hao listened very seriously, he had to be serious! They had made a bet with Dai Hua Bin after all. The stakes were that the loser would kowtow and admit their mistake, this stake might just be a matter of face for others, but for him it held different significance. If he could make Dai Hua Bin kneel in front of him and kowtow to admit his mistake, then his revenge would have succeeded in part. So no matter what, he had to win this bet.

  Just then, suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

  Generally, during class time, unless the college has special arrangements, there will not be any interruptions. Wang Yan and Zhou Wei were both stunned for a moment. Wang Yan was by the door and turned around to open the classroom door.

  Outside the classroom stood a teacher, who was unfamiliar to the students. Even Huo Yuhao didn't know that it was this teacher who had given him the Soul Bone of the Secret Law. It turned out that the one who came was the wooden Mu teacher who had lost the bet with Zhou Wei before. Behind her were two teachers from the Academy's Teaching Department.

  Zhou Wei's face sank, "Teacher Mu, you're not teaching in your own class 2, what are you doing running to our class 1?"

  It's unclear whether it was intentional or not, but after Zhou Wei became the head teacher of Class 1 Grade 1, Mu Jin became the head teacher of Class 2.

  Mu Yu smiled faintly and said, "I just heard that there was a famous student in your class who reported late today but came to class. I came to take a look specifically. It's not me looking for you, it's these two teachers from the teaching office who are looking for you."

  Zhou Wei's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he also walked from the podium to the door. The two teachers from the teaching office had already entered the classroom. The middle-aged male teacher on the left said: "Teacher Zhou, Teacher Wang, we received a report from a classmate that there is a student named Huo Yuhao in your class who did not complete the registration yesterday but came to class today. You also know the school rules of our college, now we need to take this student away and go through the withdrawal procedures."

  Wang Yan looked at Zhou Wei, and Zhou Wei smiled calmly, saying: "Teacher Li, Teacher Lu, the situation is like this. This student, Huo Yu Hao, is a core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department. Although his report was late, it's because he was carrying out a mission for the Soul Guidance Department. The department will explain the situation to you."
