Douluo 2: The sickly sister is the group's favorite

Chapter 23 Champion
The next day, after the round-robin competition, there was a half-day break. Early in the morning, the students in Class 1 were asked to gather in the classroom.

Huo Yuxi recovered most of her soul power after taking the soul-restoring pill given by Wang Dong. When she arrived at the classroom, she found that Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were not there yet.

The bell rang for a long time before Zhou Yi came to the classroom. She looked around without saying a word, and her fair fingers kept tapping on the podium. The students in the audience felt nervous when they heard the sound.

Soon after, a strong voice reported, and Zhou Yi said calmly, "Come in first!"

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong closed the classroom door and hurried in. It was then that Huo Yuxi realized something was wrong with the two of them.

Wang Dong was fine. He paid great attention to his image and had dressed himself up on the way to the classroom.

Huo Yuhao looked extremely disheveled. Half of his shirt, which was supposed to be tucked into his pants, was hanging outside, two buttons were undone, and his hair was disheveled.

“What’s going on with you two?” Zhou Yi stared at them sharply. “Huo Yuhao, tell me, did you guys go out to steal chickens and dogs last night?”

Her voice was flat, yet it exerted the greatest intimidation.

“Uh… I’m sorry, Teacher Zhou, we overslept.” Huo Yuhao originally wanted to express that the two of them had overslept, but perhaps because he was dazed or too nervous, he did not notice that this sentence was ambiguous.

"Oh? Have you slept together?" Zhou Yi looked at the two of them with a teasing look in her eyes, but it was hidden so well that it could not be noticed without careful observation.

Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment after hearing this, his face flushed red. Wang Dong, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead. What nonsense was this idiot talking about?
Zhou Yi suppressed the corners of her mouth that were about to rise, walked to the podium, and said, "Okay, go back and sit down."

Everyone could see that Mrs. Zhou was in a good mood today, and they didn't remain puzzled for too long, because her next sentence gave the reason.

"Three days have passed, and the freshman assessment has officially ended. I am very pleased because all 23 groups of students in our class have passed."

"Wow!"

Cheers resounded through the sky; some hugged their teammates excitedly, some shed tears, and some stood up and applauded.

Watching the scene, Zhou Yi smiled and thought of her original intention.

With her strength, she can enter the inner courtyard to teach, but her purpose as a teacher is to try her best to teach all students to become excellent soul masters.

This kind of satisfaction cannot be experienced anywhere else.

After they calmed down, she added, "You should all know that Shrek Academy has an upgrade assessment every year. Passing this assessment can only ensure that you will not be eliminated before the end of the first grade."

"If you slack off in the future, I may not be able to see you in the academy in the second year."

"Also, although the freshman assessment is over, there are still fifteen groups among our twenty-three groups of students whose competitions have not yet finished."

“The top 64 matches will be even more difficult, and this will further prove your excellence. I hope you can all go all out.”

Fifteen groups!
Upon hearing this number, the students in Class One, Grade One all looked up. Their class accounted for so many of the sixty-four groups.

Zhou Yi continued, "Among these fifteen groups, two groups of students achieved a perfect victory. In the freshman assessment round-robin competition, only seven groups of students achieved such a good result."

"Originally I wanted to give them some rewards, but because someone from Huo Yuhao's team was late today, the merits and demerits were offset."

"And Huo Yuxi didn't remember what I said during the assessment. He stayed alert at all times, which gave the opponent a chance to inflict heavy damage, so he lost the reward."

Huo Yuxi's eyes lit up when she heard about the reward, but she didn't expect that the reward would be gone. She was immediately depressed. Zhou Yi was a person who could see her reaction clearly. Without explaining anything, she continued, "Tomorrow the 64-strong elimination match will officially begin. I will tell you the rules..."

Huo Yuxi was listening intently when he suddenly heard Zhou Yi calling out his name loudly, "Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, the two of you, put on your iron armor and go out for a run. Stop when the bell rings."

The guilty expressions of the two people came into view. Why did the atmosphere between them look weird?

"Remember this, no matter how successful you are, you must remain humble. As a soul master, arrogance will lead to our failure at best, and even at worst, it may cost us our lives."

"Please remember this sentence in your heart. No matter where you are or what you do in the future, you must be humble and cautious."

When Zhou Yi said this, she looked at Huo Yuxi in particular. Her talent was enough to stand out from the crowd, but acquired efforts were equally important.

"Okay, let's stop here for now. I'm going to tell you about the opponents in tomorrow's elimination round. The fifteen shortlisted groups of students, please listen carefully."

Her expression was very serious, and the students all unconsciously straightened their sitting postures and pricked up their ears to listen attentively.

"Among the seven undefeated teams, including Huo Yuxi's group from our class, there are two teams with three-ring soul masters."

As soon as he finished speaking, the students in the audience burst into laughter. "What? I haven't heard of any Soul Masters in other classes before. They must have kept it a secret!"

"An Jing, these students are all special recruits, so I just learned about this news not long ago. Although I asked you to go all out, you must not be too stubborn when you meet them. In the competition, it is said that you should stop at a certain point, but nothing is absolute."

"Huo Yuxi, Lu Wanwan, and Luo Ling, come with me. The others are studying in the classroom."

After picking up the book and turning to leave, Huo Yuxi asked Xiao Xiao to help tell Huo Yuhao later, and then hurriedly followed.

When they arrived at Zhou Yi's office, the three of them stood in a row obediently like elementary school students who had made mistakes.

“Don’t be nervous. I’m not a cannibal.” Zhou Yi came to her seat and sat down. “Just now I said in the classroom that teams with three rings should not force themselves. This sentence is not said to you. The goal I set for you and Huo Yuhao’s team is to be the top two. In fact, your team is the most deserving of the championship.”

"Only the top three in the 64-strong elimination round can get substantial rewards. I'm not afraid to tell you that the reward for first place is soul bones."

"But you don't have to put too much pressure on yourself. The undefeated teams from each region won't meet in the first two games."

"And as far as I know, the strength of the other three-ring contestants is not as good as Huo Yuxi. With the blessing of her spirit ring age, this championship will be yours without any surprises."

"So, take it seriously."

"Yes!"

Zhou Yi looked at their determined expressions and nodded with satisfaction, "Have you written down the situation of the opponent that I just told you about?"

"I've got it in mind, teacher."

"Well, here are the specific information of those groups. You can take it back and have a look. But remember to rest and keep your spirits up for the battle."

"Goodbye, teacher." After taking the notebook, the three of them bowed together and left the office.

The height difference among the three is very interesting. Luo Ling is half a head taller than Lu Wanwan, and Lu Wanwan is half a head taller than Huo Yuxi. The three of them standing side by side look like a signal grid.
