Douluo Continent: Transmigrating into Huo Yuhao's world, I start by becoming Yao Lao's app

Chapter 59 An Unexpected Twist!

Du Weilun, holding a folder in his hand, glanced at the group of trainees with a smile.

"As you all know, the freshman assessment elimination round has concluded, and the top three have been determined. Now, I will formally announce their results and the rewards they will receive."

"Third place in the freshman assessment, Huang Chutian's team, step forward!"

Huang Chutian's team, which had previously been defeated by Huo Yuhao's team, achieved a commendable third place. They lost to Dai Huabin's group in the semifinals, but in the competition for third place, they defeated Zhou Sichen's team, which Huo Yuhao's team had defeated.

After all, only three teams in the entire freshman assessment had Soul Master level experts, and Xie Huanyue was seriously injured by Huo Yuhao's Eight Extremes Collapse, which caused some internal organ shock and made him miss the later competitions. This also made Huang Chutian's team lose their only opponent.

The first-year students erupted in applause. After the elimination rounds, there were about four hundred first-year students remaining, which was more than half fewer than when the semester started.

"Second place, Dai Huabin's team, step forward!"

Applause rang out again, but Dai Huabin looked as if his father had died, his face devoid of any excitement. He lowered his head slightly, his eyes even bloodshot, clearly indicating that this defeat had kept him up all night.

After a slight pause, Du Weiren raised his voice slightly.

Now, please give a warm round of applause to welcome our final champions of the freshman assessment! They are the Ning Tian team, team members: Ning Tian, ​​Wu Feng, and Huo Yuhao!

Immediately, a burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted throughout the arena. However, both Ning Tian and Wu Feng were momentarily stunned when Du Weiren made the announcement.

According to the name that Class 9 of the freshmen originally registered, their team should be called Huo Yuhao's Team, and that's what they've always been announced for in previous competitions.

Furthermore, in the previous matches, even a fool could see that Huo Yuhao was the absolute core of the three-person team!

He single-handedly broke the spirit fusion skill of the Lan sisters, and as a spirit master, he instantly killed Xie Huanyue, who had the cultivation of a spirit master. He even turned the freshman assessment into a speed race, and in the semi-finals, he directly killed his opponent in three seconds!

Most importantly, Huo Yuhao single-handedly defeated the Netherworld White Tiger, the martial soul fusion skill that made the White Tiger Clan famous! The red and black fire lotus he released even left scars on Du Weilun, a Soul Douluo-level player, which was quite explosive even in the entire outer courtyard!

"What are you standing there for? Let's go." Huo Yuhao patted Ning Tian and Wu Feng on the shoulders and said with a smile. "Not enthusiastic about accepting the award? Are you out of your mind? Did you two get slapped senseless by the Netherworld White Tiger yesterday?"

After being teased by Huo Yuhao, Ning Tian and Wu Feng regained their senses. The two women looked at Huo Yuhao, but they didn't notice anything amiss. He still had the same faint smile on his face as always.

"Yuhao, you..." Ning Tian said with some concern, but was interrupted by Huo Yuhao waving his hand.

"Let's go, everyone's watching."

Amidst the cheers and applause of the many first-year students, Ning Tian and Wu Feng dared not slack off and quickly stepped forward. As they walked forward, Huo Yuhao deliberately lagged behind by half a step, letting his two companions walk in front.

Upon seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Duvelen's eyes. He waved, signaling them to stand in the center.

Huo Yuhao felt a gaze fixed on him, and when he turned around, he saw Dai Huabin. Dai Huabin's gaze was filled with resentment and hatred. He had already forgotten Huo Yuhao's kindness in saving his mother, and all he could see was the venomous hatred of having been "stolen" from Huo Yuhao's first place in the freshman assessment.

With a cold laugh, a flash of black-gold light appeared in Huo Yuhao's eyes. Upon seeing the unusual movement of Huo Yuhao's Flame God Eye Martial Soul, Dai Huabin reflexively averted his gaze, no longer daring to meet his eyes.

Du Weilen sensed the subtle relationship between the group, smiled and shook his head, then announced loudly, "Now I announce the rewards for the top three teams in the freshman assessment. The top three teams will receive a unified reward from the academy, and each member can request a spirit ring from the academy when needed, and the academy will assist them in obtaining a spirit ring that is within their means and most suitable for them."

Huo Yuhao: Report, I want the soul ring of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian!

Subsequently, Huo Yuhao, with his wild ideas, was mercilessly beaten by the elders of the Sea God Pavilion.

Of course, all of this only happened in Huo Yuhao's imagination. For these Shrek Academy students, whose backgrounds were all very prestigious, the ultimate-age spirit rings could be hunted by their family's powerful members; Shrek's so-called reward was practically meaningless.

Du Weilun continued, "In recognition of the outstanding performance and undefeated record of the champion Ning Tian team throughout the competition, the academy has decided to award them a special prize. This prize will be kept confidential by the academy, and you can come with me to collect it after the class assignments are completed. Alright, you can return to your teams now."

Once everyone had returned to their original positions, Du Weiren spoke again.

"In view of the outstanding freshmen who have emerged in this year's freshman competition, the college has specially approved a group of students to become core disciples of the School of Foreign Languages. I will now announce the list."

"Their names are: Ning Tian, ​​Wu Feng, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and Xie Huanyue."

Sure enough, a glint flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes. Unless there was a problem with the core disciple positions, Mu Jin and Wang Yan wouldn't have reacted that way just now.

Ning Tian and Wu Feng's names appeared at the very beginning, and both were visibly excited. However, when the names were read all the way to the end, Xie Huan Yue and Huo Yu Hao were not on the list, causing their expressions to change.

"Why? Huo Yuhao's strength is obvious to all, why can't he... Huo Yuhao, let me go!"

Wu Feng had a fiery temper, and she angrily questioned Du Weilun. However, before she could finish speaking, a warm hand covered her lips—it was Huo Yuhao.

"Wu Feng, the academy's actions are definitely based on its own considerations. How could you speak to Director Du like that?" Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded to Du Weilun. "I'm sorry, Director Du, I apologize on Wu Feng's behalf. She's young and doesn't understand things, please don't take it to heart."

Du Weiren looked at Huo Yuhao with a complicated expression, and couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart.

In fact, based on Huo Yuhao's performance in the last match, he was already entitled to the treatment of a core disciple of the Martial Soul system.

However, because of Zhou Yi's previous incident, and in order to avoid antagonizing Fan Yu, the future head of the Soul Guidance Department, Du Weilun, after consulting with Yan Shaozhe, still revoked Huo Yuhao's position as a core disciple.

Yan Shaozhe had his reasons for doing this. Just recently, Xian Lin'er, the head of the Soul Guidance Department, personally came to Yan Shaozhe to ask for the person back.

Although Huo Yuhao showed some strength in the final competition, he ultimately relied on Wu Feng's help, using all of Wu Feng's soul power as a sacrifice to unleash this technique similar to a martial soul fusion skill.

However, if we exclude the red and black fire lotus and only look at the talent that Huo Yuhao has revealed so far, Yan Shaozhe and Elder Xuan have the same judgment: Huo Yuhao is not qualified to be cultivated as a core disciple by the Martial Soul Department.

Furthermore, since Xian Lin'er personally came to ask for Huo Yuhao, Yan Shaozhe felt indebted to this Martial God Douluo, so he reluctantly allowed Huo Yuhao to become a core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department.

Anyway, if Huo Yuhao's original martial soul awakens a second time in the future, or if he has some other powerful means, Yan Shaozhe can bring him back to the martial soul system. It's not a difficult thing.

Du Weiren's gaze shifted, and a tall figure approached from a distance. It was a middle-aged man about 1.8 meters tall, with very broad shoulders. He wore simple cloth clothes, and his thick, muscular arms were exposed, revealing muscles as hard as granite.

His face was sharply defined, and his gaze was deep and profound. Just standing there, he gave people a sense of towering presence, like a mountain.

"Teacher Fanyu, you've arrived," Du Weilen said politely with a smile.

Fan Yu holds an extremely high position in the Soul Guidance Department. Although he is currently ranked lower than Du Weilun, Du Weilun is well aware that Fan Yu will inevitably become the Vice Dean of the Soul Guidance Department, or even the Dean's successor. Du Weilun, on the other hand, will likely only remain a Dean of Students for the rest of his career.

"Yes, the dean and vice dean are conducting a very important soul tool research project, so they have entrusted me to bring these new students who have transferred to the Soul Tool Department to the department's teaching area," Fan Yu nodded and said.

Du Weilen's gaze sharpened slightly, and he tentatively asked, "What about Huo Yuhao?"

"I'm sorry, our Soul Guidance Department will not accept Huo Yuhao as a core disciple," Fan Yu said calmly.
