Chapter 48: Terrifying Deterrence! (Middle)

  The Beast Ring has a part underground, in addition to the part above ground. When this Beast Ring was first built, over a hundred Soul Masters were involved, apart from the craftsmen, using powerful soul tools to restrict the captive soul beasts. At the same time, strong Soul Masters and Soul Masters are stationed here all year round. It is said that even million-year-level soul beasts are being raised here. As for ten million years, it's simply impossible. Wanting to capture a ten-million-year-old soul beast alive is extremely difficult, but not entirely impossible. However, a ten-million-year-old soul beast represents enormous wealth for any Soul Master. To put it bluntly, one ten-million-year-old soul beast can make a Soul Master rise to the top instantly. The four powerful skills of the Ten Million Year Soul Ring and the Ten Million Year Soul Bone are incredibly formidable.

  The arena was a place specially provided for the students of Shrek Academy to conduct actual combat training and assessment. At this time, the second-year students were entering the arena one after another, preparing to take their promotion assessment.

  The Colosseum is elliptical in shape, with a long diameter of 187 meters and a short diameter of 155 meters. The highest point has about 57 meters. From the outside, the entire building is divided into four layers. The bottom three layers are arc-shaped buildings, each with stone pillars on both sides of the arch door. The fourth layer has wall decorations, and there are four large arched doors facing the four radii, which are the entrances to the corridors of the Colosseum's internal viewing platform. The viewing platform inside the Colosseum is divided into four groups from low to high. In special cases, Slytherin Academy will conduct specific regional divisions. The grandeur and magnificence of the entire project can be described as resplendent and magnificent.

  This massive arena can accommodate an audience of about 10,000 people, as more area is used for the interior of the arena. Like the Douluo Arena, multiple battles can start at the same time here, or only one battle can be held. For high-level Shrek Academy students, this place is not unfamiliar at all. High-level students are willing to come here to hone their actual combat skills, while for lower-level students, it's simply a nightmare.

  From grade four onwards, each class will have at least one gladiatorial combat lesson per week, and the results of each lesson will be included in the student's final exam scores.

  When Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao walked into this massive Colosseum together, they all felt a little overwhelmed. Regardless of their backgrounds, this was the most majestic architecture they had ever seen.

  "Yu Hao." Tian Meng Bingshang's voice suddenly echoed in Yu Haohao's mind, and although he was already used to Tian Mengge's unpredictable ways, he still jumped in fright.

  "What's wrong, Tianmeng Ge."

  "He isn't thinking of making that little brat kowtow and admit his mistake? I'll teach you the simplest method. This will also be one of your future ways of fighting."

  Huo Yu Hao was overjoyed, "Good."

  "You're like this..."

  All second-grade students need to go and get the upgrade assessment form first, which has their performance order on it. The scores will also be ranked on this form.

  Everyone was queuing to get the form. Wang Dong saw Dai Huabin not far away and elbowed Ho Yuhao beside him, saying: "Look, Dai Huabin is here."

  Huo Yu Hao nodded and walked straight towards Dai Hua Bin's direction.

  Wang Dong was taken aback for a moment. What is Yu Hao doing? Why so impulsive? But he and Xiao Xiao still hurried to follow him.

  Dai Huabin was already paying attention to them, and when Huo Yuhao suddenly walked over, he naturally saw him, with a cold and unyielding gaze.

  Other students who are currently enrolled, although they do not know about the bet between them, but during the freshman assessment, they are the last competitors, and the fact that Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu were expelled is also well-known to everyone. It's natural for people to understand that there is a grudge between them. These six people suddenly became the focus of attention among the students.

  Huo Yu Hao walked to a position about three meters away from Dai Hua Bin and stopped, saying in a low voice: "Dai Hua Bin, our bet is today, I'll confirm again, do you regret it?"

  Dai Huabin was taken aback, thinking to himself that this Hao Yuhao must be crazy. He coldly said: "I, Dai Huabin, have never spoken words that didn't count. Today, the three of us from both sides will add up our scores from the promotion assessment. Whoever has a lower score will kowtow and admit defeat to the other side."

  Huo Yu Hao nodded and said: "Alright, then let's ask everyone to bear witness. This bet will be settled today. Isn't that right, Dai Hua Bin?"

  Dai Huabin subconsciously said, "That's right. However, if you regret it now, both of you and Wang Dong can kowtow to me and admit your mistake, Xiao Xiao is a girl, I can let bygones be bygones."

  Huo Yu Hao sneered and said, "The assessment is over, I'll wait for you here." After saying that, he turned around and left.

  Their conversation suddenly caused a murmur among the second-year students who were receiving their upgrade assessment forms. Dai Huabin's face turned even darker, and he said coldly, "You're asking for trouble, you can't live with it. Since you want to lose even more face, I'll help you." In his opinion, He Yuhao deliberately spoke out loud in front of so many people just to let the entire second-year student body know about their bet. Whoever lost would undoubtedly never be able to hold their head up high again in the academy. Where did his confidence come from? Although Dai Huabin knew that He Yuhao must have had some backing, he was also extremely confident in himself. After all, he hadn't put in any less effort over the past year!

  After receiving the form, under the leadership of the head teachers of two classes, the students flocked into the arena.

  Because it was an upgrade assessment, they wouldn't go to the spectator platform, but instead lined up neatly outside the beast fighting area of the Great Beast Arena waiting for their own assessment.

  There are over 100 students from Class A and Class B who came to the Great Beast Arena for their second-year upgrade assessment. Since it's their first time, the academy attaches great importance to ensuring their safety. As early as now, there are already 20 teachers waiting here. They are in charge of guiding the soul beasts, protecting the students, scoring, etc. Although the number of references is not small, in order to let everyone get familiar with this method, the Great Beast Arena has not been divided into regions, and one by one assessment will be conducted. This way, it's also more convenient for the scoring teachers to see clearly.

  Director Du Weilun also arrived, he is the chief examiner today, and four other teachers in charge of scoring are on a high platform on one side, from where they can clearly overlook the arena.

  Huō Yǔhào and Wáng Dōng, as the two class leaders of Class 1, stood at the front of their team. On the side of Class 2, standing in the very front were Dài Huábīn and Xié Huàn Yuè. In terms of cultivation, Xié Huàn Yuè was not much inferior to Dài Huábīn, and his defensive abilities were extremely strong, something that Huō Yǔhào and the others had deeply experienced before.

  Mu Ge stood beside Dai Hua Bin, his gaze wasn't directed at Zhou Wei, and the cold expression on his face didn't have a hint of kindness.

  Zhou Wei said in a low voice, "Yu Hao, now that you've been confirmed as the core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department, use your abilities wisely and don't choose an overly strong soul beast as your opponent. Make sure to win as much as possible without holding back. You've seen the competition schedule, right? The academy wants to boost morale for the students, so both our classes will have their class leaders go first. Our class will send one person for assessment after that, then it's Class 2's turn. Wang Dong, you'll be going up next, make sure to start strong. If you're confident, I suggest choosing the highest-level assessment target. That way, even if you lose in the end, as long as you last long enough, your score won't be bad."

  "Alright, don't worry, teacher." Wang Dong clenched his somewhat slender-looking fist.

  "No, Teacher Zhou, let me go first." Huo Yu suddenly said.

  "Hmm? Yu Hao. This concerns our class's honor." Zhou Wei said in a low voice.

  Huo Yuhao nodded, "Teacher Zhou, I won't let you down."

  Looking at the determination in his eyes, Zhou Wei hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, nodded and said: "Alright, I'll leave it to you." Although she wanted to suppress Mu Qi, she didn't want to discourage her brother's enthusiasm.

  At this time, on the high platform, Du Weilun's voice rang out, "The assessment begins. The first-year students of Class 1 will be sent out first, and then Class 2."

  Huoyue Hao took his assessment form and walked out with big strides, entering the Beast Fighting Arena. He suddenly had an inexplicable feeling, as if the blood in his body was boiling over. Perhaps it was because this place had witnessed too many battles, and every student of Shrek Academy who came here would feel a strong desire to fight. Only through actual combat could one truly integrate what they had learned, which was also the significance of the Beast Fighting Arena's existence. This was also why graduates of Shrek Academy could become excellent soul masters sought after by various empires after graduation.

  Hand the form in your hand to a teacher who is responsible for passing it on, and the teacher will put it into the elevator under the review platform. Soon, Huo Yuhao's assessment form was handed over to Director Du Weilun.

  Du Weilun's eyes fell on the first student to be assessed, Huo Yu Hao, and his spirit immediately became focused. He also wanted to see just how excellent this student was that the Soul Guidance Department was so eager to recruit. Real combat with soul beasts and battles between students at the academy were completely different. Soul beasts were naturally hostile towards humans and would never show mercy during battle, giving students a feeling of life or death crisis.

  Huo Yuhao walked into the center of the arena. Two teachers were in charge of acting as referees, which was to better ensure the students' safety.

  The chief referee on the left asked: "What is your major?"

  "Control system."

  "The chief judge said: 'Choose the soul beast you want to assess, remember that the control system should fully embody the word "control", and there is only one chance for assessment, so be cautious. The level of the soul beast is in units of 100 years, from 100 years to the highest 1,000 years.'"
