Chapter 53
By this point, the outcome was essentially decided. Huang Chutian was trapped by Xiao Xiao alone, fighting back and forth with the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, unable to break free. He could only rage helplessly, seemingly incredibly fierce, yet he couldn't even force Xiao Xiao to unleash her second soul skill.
Although the separated Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo caused Wang Dong a lot of trouble, they ultimately had no ability to decide the outcome without their Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Even when they used their second Soul Skill, they were still mercilessly shattered by Wang Dong's Winged Guillotine.
Finally, with Huo Yuhao's help, Wang Dong found Lan Susu's weakness and eliminated her in one blow, leaving only Lan Luoluo to struggle on, but she could not escape being eliminated by Wang Dong who seized the opportunity to exploit her weakness.
"Huo Yuhao's team wins!"
Upon arriving here, Wang Yan also saw through Huo Yuhao's team's battle strategy.
Wang Dong was responsible for dealing with the Lan sisters behind them, and it was obvious that he was taking precautions against the possibility of the other side having a spirit fusion skill, so he didn't give them a chance to use their spirit fusion skill from the beginning.
It has to be said that this is very bold. Just by seeing the Lan sisters' martial souls, they did not hesitate to treat them as existing martial soul fusion techniques.
After closing the distance, they deliberately got trapped in the hair net. The layers of hair net not only blocked Wang Dong's view, but also blocked the view of the Lan sisters.
Finally, Wang Dong seized the opportunity when the opponent relaxed their guard and quickly rushed out of the net, directly breaking the conjoined state of the Lan sisters and eliminating the possibility of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill being used.
To handle a potential martial soul fusion technique in the way described in textbooks is truly a bold move.
But... how was Wang Dong, who was surrounded by layers of hairnets, able to accurately locate Lan Susu and Lan Ruoruo?
Wang Yan shifted her gaze to Huo Yuhao...
Is it your soul skill that's working?
Although there was no evidence, Wang Yan's intuition told him that it must have been Huo Yuhao's soul skill that guided Wang Dong to accurately find the Lan sisters!
……
Aside from a slight depletion of soul power, Huo Yuhao's team, at full strength, easily defeated the losing teams from other areas.
After the round-robin tournament ended, although Wang Yan had guessed some of Huo Yuhao's soul skill effects, he still couldn't accurately describe Huo Yuhao's soul skills.
How can this be allowed?
He was about to report to his superiors a list of personnel in his area who warranted attention during the assessment, awaiting final review.
Therefore, he had to figure out Huo Yuhao's martial soul and soul skills.
"Huo Yuhao, you three stay here for a moment."
"Hello, Teacher Wang!"
Wang Yan nodded to Huo Yuhao and smiled, "Congratulations on your perfect record in the freshman assessment round-robin tournament. There are probably no more than ten teams that can achieve this in the freshman assessment. You guys are indeed very strong. However, I've always been curious, Huo Yuhao, as the team leader, what exactly is your martial soul? Although I can't see what you did in battle, I believe you are the core of this team. Am I right?"
"Teacher Wang, you flatter me."
Huo Yuhao touched his nose and said "modestly," "Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong are still strong enough. I just let them make better use of their strength."
"You don't need to be modest..." Wang Yan paused.
Hearing Huo Yuhao's initial words, he thought Huo Yuhao was going to deny it, but unexpectedly Huo Yuhao admitted it without hesitation.
This rendered much of his prepared remarks futile.
However, Wang Yan quickly recovered, adjusted his glasses, and continued:
"I never inquired about your martial soul because I wanted to see it and your soul skills for myself to prove my abilities. But the truth forces me to admit defeat. From beginning to end, I couldn't discern what your martial soul was, nor could I figure out what your soul skills were. In every match, I could see your white ten-year soul ring shining brightly, but I just couldn't understand the function of your soul skills. Could you enlighten me?"
Huo Yuhao said, "Teacher Wang, my martial soul is the Spirit Eye, which is a spiritual attribute martial soul. As for my soul skills, I can tell you, but could you please keep it a secret? After all, my combat strength is still too low, and I don't want to be targeted in future battles."
"Spirit Eye? Your martial soul is an eye?" Wang Yan was also very surprised. It was one thing for Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo to have hair as their main martial souls, but now a Spirit Eye has appeared.
When did the original spirit form become so common?
"Yes, it's a spirit-attribute martial soul." Huo Yuhao's words confirmed Wang Yan's guess. "So, Teacher Wang, would you like to take a look at my soul skills?"
Clearly, Huo Yuhao's words had piqued Wang Yan's curiosity. After so long without seeing any concrete effects, it was impossible for Wang Yan not to be curious.
Wang Yan also understood the importance of soul skills to soul masters. If possible, most soul masters would not tell others about their soul skills. For example, the Body Sect might not even use soul skills in ordinary battles.
Wang Yan took a deep breath: "I swear in the name of Shrek Academy that I will not reveal Huo Yuhao's soul skills to anyone else without his permission!"
Seeing that Wang Yan actually took the initiative to swear an oath, Huo Yuhao also activated his first soul skill, sending his mental sharing to Wang Yan.
Wang Yan felt a spiritual force trying to connect with him, but seeing Huo Yuhao's lit-up spirit ring, he understood that this was Huo Yuhao's spirit skill, and accepted the connection request with anticipation.
Then Wang Yan saw his own face...
Wang Yan was stunned. He blinked subconsciously, and at the same time, the face in the image in his mind blinked as well.
It has to be said that the image is quite clear; you can even clearly see the trembling of each eyelash.
But... after waiting for so long, is this all?
Seeing the disappointment on Wang Yan's face, Huo Yuhao chuckled and added mental detection as well.
This……
In Wang Yan's eyes, time seemed to slow down, and everything around him became exceptionally clear. A large amount of information would instantly appear in his mind wherever his gaze fell.
Wang Yan looked at Huo Yuhao and clearly obtained information such as Huo Yuhao's height, the interval between each of Huo Yuhao's breaths, the flow trajectory of the exhaled air, and even information such as how many hairs Huo Yuhao had.
In just a moment, Huo Yuhao canceled his soul skill, while Wang Yan took a while to emerge from that strange state.
Seeing the unremarkable view before me, everything became utterly boring.
call……
It took Wang Yan a while to recover. "What was that just now?"
"That's my innate ability—mental detection." Huo Yuhao said like a child showing off a toy. "How about it, Teacher Wang? Isn't my innate ability amazing? You have to keep it a secret!"
"I definitely will!" Wang Yan nodded, indicating his understanding. He now understood the value of Huo Yuhao's talent. If it got out, Huo Yuhao would easily be targeted in team battles. No wonder he made me swear not to tell anyone.
Seemingly remembering something, Wang Yan asked nervously, "Then are you from the Body Sect?"
"No, I currently belong to the Tang Sect."
"Great, this is fantastic! Haha, we never expected Shrek Academy to snag such a huge bargain!"
Wang Yan took a deep breath, calming his shock and joy, and said, "Alright, Huo Yuhao, you guys go back and rest first. I'll come find you later."
After saying that, he turned and left in a hurry.
