Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 95 Freshman Assessment
After returning to the inner courtyard together, Han Ruoruo and Wu Ming went to their respective dormitories.

Dugu Han followed Zhang Lexuan into her dormitory.

As soon as she entered the dormitory, Zhang Lexuan asked, "What business did you go to the Star Dou Great Forest for? How did you end up running into the Crimson King?"

"Not only the Crimson King, but also an Imperial Auspicious Beast."

Dugu Han simply made up a non-existent friend, saying he was there to help him hunt souls, and then explained how he escaped after encountering the Crimson King.

Zhang Lexuan listened with a strange expression.

A human soul master claimed to be a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form, and completely outmaneuvered the 300,000-year-old Crimson King, almost becoming sworn brothers with him.

This is outrageous!
"It's thanks to Xue Di's credibility."

Dugu Han took out the Snow Emperor's token. The Snow Emperor's aura on it convinced the Crimson King of his identity as a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form.

"No matter what, as long as you're alright, that's all that matters."

Zhang Lexuan smiled and said, "But you should try to avoid going to the Star Dou Great Forest in the future!"

"it is good!"

Dugu Han readily agreed, but he still secretly thought about going to the Star Dou Great Forest with Huo Yuhao again.

Huo Yuhao was able to escape from the clutches of the auspicious beast and the Crimson King after taking a nap.

This shows the importance of luck!
If possible, he wanted to capture the auspicious beast and obtain her fortune.

And there's also that dark gold Terrorclaw Bear's external soul bone.

If Dugu Han wants to condense a physical soul core and complete the perfect yin-yang complementary soul core of the three-in-one system, he must do everything he can to enhance his physical strength.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's external soul bone is an absolute must-have.

These are things that can't be said directly.

"Let's not talk about that anymore, let's go to the bedroom first."

Dugu Hanhou hurriedly pulled Zhang Lexuan into the bedroom.

His hands started to wander.

"Don't touch it."

Zhang Lexuan patted Dugu Han, took his hand away from her chest, and asked, "You still haven't told me about Elder Xue's return!"

Upon hearing her mention Elder Xue, Dugu Han also became serious, and his materialized spiritual power instantly spread out, sealing off the entire bedroom.

He then spoke, saying, "There are no clues about the Moon Goddess's Tears. No one in the entire Mingdu knows about it. We haven't found any clues about your family either, but we have some clues about the 100,000-year-old Illusion Moon Butterfly Queen."

"What clue?" Zhang Lexuan asked, frowning.

"The Illusion Moon Butterfly Queen was hunted down by a level nine Soul Master two hundred years ago. That level nine Soul Master had no descendants, only a disciple named Kong Deming."

Dugu Han explained, "After that level nine soul master died, the head soul bone of the Illusion Moon Butterfly Queen should have fallen into Kong Deming's hands. However, Kong Deming is currently in seclusion researching soul tools with a woman. He is the head of the Sun Moon Empire's Hall of Worship. No one dares to disturb him unless he comes out of seclusion on his own initiative."

"So, does that mean the trail has ended here for now?" Zhang Lexuan pondered.

"It's temporarily suspended!"

"We can only ask Kong Deming after he comes out of the pass!"

After finishing his business, Dugu Han's hand once again wandered in and slipped inside Zhang Lexuan's collar.

It's so soft and comforting!

"Stop fooling around, go take a shower first!"

"together!"

……

In the days that followed, Dugu Han would go to the Sea God Pavilion every morning to read various ancient books, and then return to Zhang Lexuan's dormitory in the evening to cultivate with her.

My life revolves around just two points every day!
More than two months later, Yan Shaozhe found him again.

"head teacher?"

When Dugu Han heard Yan Shaozhe mention that his homeroom teacher, whom he had never met, was looking for him, he asked in confusion, "What does she want with me?"

"It's probably for the freshman assessment!"

"What does that have to do with me? I'm just participating in the freshman assessment, not bullying people!"

"That's true!"

Yan Shaozhe nodded in agreement, saying that it was indeed bullying to let Dugu Han participate in the assessment with a group of freshmen whose soul power was generally only around level 20!

but……

"No matter what, she is still your homeroom teacher. If she wants to see you, you should at least meet her!" Yan Shaozhe added.

"That's true, so where is she?"

"We're having class right now!"

"Then I'll go find her."

Dugu immediately unfurled his Ice Emperor Wings and flew out of the Sea God Pavilion toward the outer courtyard.

But halfway through the flight, he suddenly remembered something and went back to find Yan Shaozhe.

"what happened?"

Yan Shaozhe looked at Dugu Han, who had gone and then returned, and asked.

"Um... which class am I in?" Dugu Han asked somewhat awkwardly.

"..."

After a long silence, Yan Shaozhe uttered two words without uttering a word: "Class Nine!"

"Understood!"

Dugu Han nodded and flew back towards the outer courtyard.

Upon arriving at the Foreign Languages ​​Department, he found the freshman teaching building, then put away his Ice Emperor Wings and began searching according to the class number signs on the classroom doors.

The first class was Class 1 of the freshmen, which was Zhou Yi's class.

She was announcing the rules for the new student assessment.

Huo Yuhao was listening attentively below when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Dugu Han passing by the window and paused in surprise.

Dugu Han smiled when he saw Huo Yuhao, and then continued walking forward.

The next class is Freshman Class 2, followed by Freshman Class 3... Class 4 and so on.

Before long, Dugu Han arrived at Class 9 of the freshmen.

Mu Jin, the homeroom teacher of Class 9, was also announcing the rules for this freshman assessment.

Ning Tian listened attentively below, while Wu Feng picked at his fingernails out of sheer boredom.

"oi!"

Dugu Han picked up a small pebble and flicked it at Wu Feng with his finger.

Wu Feng felt a sharp pain on his forehead and cried out, immediately attracting Mu Jin's attention.

"Wu Feng, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just got bitten by a bed bug."

"It's alright. Now I'll continue explaining the rules for this year's freshman assessment."

After waiting for Mu Jin to continue her lecture, Wu Feng turned his head and glared fiercely at Dugu Han outside the window.

The pebble just now came from outside the window; it must have been Dugu Han's doing.

"Xiaohan!"

Ning Tian caught a glimpse of Dugu Han out of the corner of her eye, and her eyes lit up.

Dugu Han smiled at her, then walked to the classroom door, knocked on the door frame and said, "Excuse me, teacher, did you want to see me?" Instantly, all the students in the class looked over.

"You must be Dugu Han!"

Mu Jin smiled and said, "Come in quickly, I'm just announcing the rules for this year's freshman assessment."

"Teacher, I'm not interested in this new student assessment." Dugu Han shook his head with a smile.

"Why?"

Mu Jin explained, "You only need to participate in a few rounds of the freshman assessment, it won't take up much of your time. Besides, with your ability, this championship is practically free, and the prize money for this championship is very generous..."

"Ouch!"

Upon hearing this, the freshmen in the class immediately looked at Dugu Han with curiosity and began to whisper among themselves.

Among them, Nanmen Yun'er, who was next to Ning Tian and Wu Feng, whispered to the two of them, "Judging from his conversation with Teacher Mu Jin, he seems to be in our class too, but I've never seen him come to our class before. Do you know him?"

"know!"

Ning Tian explained with a smile, "Xiao Han's enrollment is just a formality, he's just there for show. He'll be cultivating directly in the inner courtyard."

"The inner courtyard?"

Nanmen Yun'er almost gasped out, but luckily she quickly covered her mouth and whispered, "He went straight into the inner courtyard, so he must have connections?"

"I guess so!" Ning Tian smiled.

The personal disciple of Elder Mu, the master of the Sea God Pavilion, is definitely a case of nepotism!
"So how good is he?"

Nanmen Yun'er asked again, "I heard from Teacher Mujin that as long as he participates, it's like winning a championship for free."

“He is a high-level Soul Master,” Wu Feng said solemnly.

"Advanced Soul Master?" Nanmen Yun'er stood up in shock.

"What kind of advanced Soul Master?"

The others around looked over upon hearing this.

"Nothing, nothing!"

Ning Tian smiled at the people around him and quickly pulled the shocked Nanmen Yun'er down.

……

After listening to Mu Jin talk about the champion's reward, Dugu Han, who was standing at the door, chuckled and said, "Teacher, you should know that spirit rings and the status of a core disciple have no appeal to me whatsoever."

“There are other rewards as well!”

As Mu Jin spoke, she pulled Dugu Han aside and whispered, "Director Du revealed some information to me. In addition to all the above, the reward for this championship is a soul bone. If you can win the championship for your class, I'll give you an extra soul bone, how about that?"

"Secret Soul Bone?"

Dugu Han wasn't very interested. He remembered that in the original story, Mu Jin made a bet with Zhou Yi and lost a secret soul bone.

"no!"

Mu Jin smiled and explained, "I do have a secret soul bone, but I also have an enemy. If you help me win the championship, I'll get you a normal soul bone from her, how about that?"

"How many years?" Dugu Han became interested.

"How about at least ten thousand years?"

"can!"

Dugu Han readily agreed.

A ten-thousand-year-old soul bone and the left leg bone of the Void Demon Leopard were practically free for him.

All you need to do is set aside two days.

“But you must hide yourself and not make a move, at least not before I make the bet with her,” Mu Jin added.

Dugu Han pondered for a moment upon hearing this and said, "I will team up with Ning Tianwufeng. I don't need to play before the round of 32 to 16. The two of them alone can pass the round. I will play after the round of 32 to 16."

"can!"

Hibiscus smiled and agreed.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back now. I'll come over when it's the round of 32 to the top 16."

After Dugu Han finished speaking, he walked to the window and greeted Ning Tian and the other person. Then he unfolded the Ice Emperor Wings and flew towards the inner courtyard.

"External soul bone!"

Mu Jin looked at the Ice Emperor Wings on Dugu Han's back and was filled with surprise.

But Du Weilun had already informed her, and she knew Dugu Han's identity, so she wasn't too surprised.

Afterwards, Mu Jin returned to the classroom and continued to explain the rules of this freshman assessment.

After the rules were explained, the team assignments began.

She wrote down Ning Tian and Wu Feng's names first.

"Teacher, me, me!" Nanmen Yun'er volunteered and raised her hand.

Mu Jin smiled, wrote down Dugu Han's name again, and then looked at Ning Tian and Wu Feng and said, "You two should know Dugu Han, so I won't say much. I'll just say one thing: Dugu Han won't appear before the round of 32 to 16. Before that, the competition will be two against three for you two. Can you do it?"

"can!"

Ning Tian immediately assured him, "As long as we don't encounter a team with a Soul Master, it'll be fine."

"With Xiao Tian assisting me, I'm confident I can defeat even a Soul Master," Wu Feng said confidently.

"It's good to be confident, but don't be arrogant!"

Hibiscus gave a perfunctory lecture as usual, and then felt relieved.

There are a total of 930 new students. Among these 930 students, excluding Dugu Han and including Ning Tian himself, there are only three Soul Masters.

Most of the freshmen are at level 18 or 19, or around level 21 or 22, and are Grand Soul Masters. Wu Feng's soul power is already at level 25, and he has a Red Dragon Martial Soul. With the assistance of Ning Tian's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda at level 31, his combat power is equivalent to that of a Soul Master, which is enough to deal with teams without Soul Masters!
……

There are a total of 930 new students, divided into 310 groups.

The teams were divided into groups in the morning, and the intense elimination rounds began in the afternoon.

The event lasted three days and eliminated 160 groups of students.

Students who are not eliminated can stay in the academy and continue the competition, but no longer for the sake of avoiding elimination, but for the ultimate championship.

Within a few days, thirty-two teams were selected.

The following day, the round of 32 to 16 took place.

Dugu Han arrived as promised and rushed to the scene.

After seeing Dugu Han's arrival, Mu Jin confidently went to find Zhou Yi, provoking her into betting with her on a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone.

Dugu Han had been watching the two of them closely, and he didn't understand their bet at all.

Why not just settle any conflict with a fight? It's simple, convenient, efficient, and efficient.

However, it seems that people in Douluo Continent all like to resolve conflicts through betting.

"Xiao Han, it's your turn!"

At this moment, Ning Tian called out to Dugu Han.

Dugu Han snapped out of his daze and looked at her and Wu Feng with surprise, asking, "Aren't you going to go on stage?"

"No, no, you can crush them all by yourself, there's no point in us joining in." Wu Feng waved his hand.

Ning Tian also said with a smile, "The two of us cleared the previous levels, now it's your turn to work hard on the rest!"

"Then watch me!"

Dugu Han smiled and walked over.

Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao, on the other side, led Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao toward the field.
