The Peerless Tang Sect: Possessing Huo Yuhao at the Start

Chapter 18 The King of Eternal Night

At this moment, Dai Huabin's eyes were filled with rage. He hadn't expected that he still wouldn't be able to gain the upper hand in close combat.

Although the White Tiger Vajra Transformation is powerful, it also consumes a great deal of soul power. If this continues for too long, he will eventually weaken and exhaust himself. Without the slightest hesitation or pause, Dai Huabin pounced on Huo Zhanji again.

The battle between the two sides thus entered a fierce stage.

On the other side, Xiao Xiao was also fully engaged, using the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron to interfere with Zhu Lu with all her might, and for a time it was impossible to determine the winner.

Dai Huabin also noticed Zhu Lu's situation. At the beginning of the match, Zhu Lu was already attacking with all her might, pushing her speed to the limit in an attempt to break through Xiao Xiao's blockade. However, Xiao Xiao, with Huo Zhanji's help, was obviously not so simple.

"If you've got the guts, then let's meet head-on!" Dai Huabin roared, finally unable to hold back any longer.

A hint of disdain flickered across Wang Dong's lips: "Do you even know what tactics are?"

Suddenly, Wang Dong saw that Dai Huabin had actually dispelled the White Tiger Vajra Transformation on his body. Instead of advancing, Dai Huabin retreated and suddenly ran wildly backward.

Just as Dai Huabin turned and ran back, Zhu Lu on the other side also moved, turning and running after Dai Huabin.

At this moment, Dai Huabin roared loudly, and with the roar, his whole body swelled up again. White fur mixed with black tiger stripes surged wildly from his body. Zhu Lu bit her teeth, her whole body covered with a faint black light, her body swaying, and she looked as if she had become transparent. She opened her arms and pounced towards Dai Huabin.

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao exchanged a glance and said helplessly, "It's another Martial Soul Fusion Technique."

"Xiaoxiao, Wang Dong, you two try to hold them off. I have a way to defeat them," Huo Zhanji said.

The enormous white tiger's body appeared somewhat transparent, almost ethereal. It crouched slightly, and in the next instant, it created a ripple of transparency as it pounced towards Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao at terrifying speed.

As the massive white tiger pounced, it proudly raised its head, its arrogant gaze overlooking the world fully displaying its domineering presence and kingly demeanor.

"Xiao Xiao, let's go." Wang Dong glanced at Xiao Xiao and then rushed forward.

At this moment, Huo Zhanji's aura changed three times in a row, with the three auras of purple-red, ice-blue, and gray continuously rising and merging. The phantom of double pupils appeared above Huo Zhanji's head. At this moment, with a dragon's roar, the phantom of the Frost Dragon Martial Soul also appeared behind Huo Zhanji.

All the teachers in the stands were astonished when they saw the frost dragon behind Huo Zhanji: "Ultimate Ice!"

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were doing their best to block the Netherworld White Tiger when, in the next instant, a strange light emanated from behind them.

The phantom image of the double pupils, radiating a purplish-red light, merged with the frost dragon. From a perspective unseen by others, a gray figure also quietly merged into it.

"Holy Eye - Frost Holy Spirit Armor!"

At this moment, the three martial souls merged into one, and Huo Zhanji's figure gradually grew larger. Ice-blue dragon wings appeared behind him, and his originally pure white dragon scale armor turned into a black robe due to the intervention of the Necromancer Saint God.

Dean Yan Shaozhe stood up abruptly when he saw Huo Zhanji unleash the Frost Dragon Martial Soul, his eyes filled with disbelief. "Self-Martial Soul Fusion Technique!"

The fusion of self-spirit fusion techniques with spirit fusion techniques is a rare sight that would only appear once every ten thousand years, and now that everyone has witnessed it, they are all extremely shocked.

Huo Zhan, now transformed into the Eternal Night King, moved swiftly. His figure flashed repeatedly as he arrived before the Netherworld White Tiger, easily subduing the Netherworld White Tiger that had been giving Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao a headache.

"5"

At this moment, even the most experienced referee was dumbfounded. Du Weiren appeared in the assessment area as if he had appeared out of thin air at the last second.

He appeared at the very center of the collision between the two martial soul fusion skills. He used his back to block the Netherworld White Tiger's slapping paw, and then used his front to block Huo Zhanji.

A dense white light shot into the sky, transforming into a seemingly illusory yet incredibly solid barrier that simultaneously blocked the fusion of the two martial souls.

The seemingly powerful Netherworld White Tiger shattered instantly upon colliding with the white light. Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu were ejected, their faces pale as they collapsed to the ground, too weak to even stand up.

Meanwhile, Huo Zhanji was calculating the remaining time in his mind, completely unaware of Du Weilun blocking his Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

"4"

"3"

"2"

With only one second left, Huo Zhanji intensified his power once again. On the high platform, the other teachers watching were relatively fine, but Yan Shaozhe, who was sitting in the front row, showed a shocked expression because Du Weilun had been blasted away.

It was unbelievable that an eight-ring Soul Douluo was blasted away by a student who was not even a Soul Master. The teachers gradually came to their senses and were all dumbfounded.

Huo Zhanji exited the form of his self-fusion martial soul technique and his body fell down uncontrollably. If Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao hadn't seen it, Huo Zhanji would have had a close encounter with the ground.

Zhou Yi was naturally among the spectators and was shocked to see this scene. Another twin martial soul had actually created a self-fusion martial soul technique.

In the assessment arena, Du Weilun, who had been blasted away, was filled with astonishment and disbelief. After all, Du Weilun was the dean of students, and he recovered after a brief moment of shock. A bitter smile appeared on his face as he thought to himself, "What a disgrace. I was blasted away by a level 26 Great Soul Master using his self-spirit fusion technique."

"Very good, you all did a great job," Du Weiren's voice rang out.

Du Weiren said calmly, "I am surprised that you, as freshmen, have reached this level of cultivation and have all used your Martial Soul Fusion Techniques. I have also personally experienced the strength of your Martial Soul Fusion Techniques."

Du Weilen said in a deep voice, "Now, I announce the final champions of the freshman assessment elimination round. They are..."

He paused for a moment, then suddenly raised his right hand, pointed at Huo Zhanji and his two companions, and shouted, "Huo Zhanji's team!"

"Boom—" The entire audience erupted in uproar.

Xiao Xiao looked at Wang Dong and murmured, "We won?"

A slight smile appeared in Wang Dong's eyes: "It seems we really have won!"

Du Weilun continued, "Huo Zhanji, I still don't know the name of your Self-Soul Fusion Technique. As the person who personally experienced your Self-Soul Fusion Technique, don't I have the right to know?"

Huo Zhanji said slowly in a weak voice, "My self-fused martial soul skill is called: Holy Eye - Frost Holy Spirit Armor." However, Huo Zhanji wasn't finished; there was more to come: "Eternal Night Form."

[Ding, congratulations host for completing the mission. The Soul Ring Age Enhancement Method has been issued.]

Du Weilun nodded slightly and said, "I must say, your self-fusion martial soul technique is the most unique one I have ever seen. With your cultivation level, the fact that you can unleash such power is beyond the scope of my research on martial soul fusion techniques."

At this point, he turned back to Dai Huabin and the other two, saying, "Your Netherworld White Tiger is very strong. In that situation just now, if you had clashed head-on with Huo Zhanji, you would have been defeated."

"Alright, that's all I can say. The freshman assessments are all over. Tomorrow morning, there will be a freshman assembly to award prizes to the top three teams, and the first-year classes will be assigned."

"Being humble in victory and undeterred in defeat is essential for progress. You are all among the most outstanding freshmen I have ever seen. I don't want this competition to affect your future development. Okay, that's all for now."

After saying this, Du Weilin turned and left quickly from the assessment area.

Zhou Yi had somehow landed on the platform and rushed towards them, embracing Huo Zhanji and the other two, jumping for joy.

The homeroom teacher of Dai Huabin's class also came to their side and comforted the three of them. However, Dai Huabin's expression remained unchanged. His gaze kept glancing at Huo Zhanji and the other two.

Next time, I will never lose!

The results of the freshman assessment finals quickly spread throughout the entire college. Huo Zhanji was forced to skip work that night and asked Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, Bei Bei, and Tang Ya to go to the countryside to cook grilled fish for them.

early morning

All the new students who passed the assessment gathered at Shrek Square, waiting for the upcoming class assignments. Du Weilun, the director of the Martial Soul Department's teaching affairs office, led more than a dozen teachers to the front of the students.

Du Weilun, holding a folder, said, "As you all know, the freshman assessment elimination round has ended, and the top three have been determined. Now, I will formally announce them and their rewards."

"Third place in the freshman assessment, Huang Chutian's team, team members are Huang Chutian, Lan Susu, and Lan Luoluo."

"The second place in the freshman assessment is Dai Huabin's team. The team members are Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and Cui Yajie."

"The top-ranked team in the freshman assessment is Huo Zhanji's team. The team members are Huo Zhanji, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao."

The members of the top three teams stood in a row, and immediately, the whole audience erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

"Alright, now I'd like to announce the rewards for the top three teams in the freshman assessment."

"Everyone can request a spirit ring when they need one, and the academy will assist them in obtaining one that is within their means and is most suitable for them."

Du Weilun paused for a moment and continued, "In view of the outstanding performance and undefeated record of the champion Huo Zhanji team throughout the competition, the academy has decided to award them a special prize. After the class assignments are completed, you can come with me to collect it."

Du Weilen said, "Alright, you can rejoin the team now."

Huo Zhanji and the other nine returned to their original positions.

Du Weilen said, "The quality of this year's freshmen is even better than in the past. I hope you will continue to work hard."

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

Du Weilun opened the folder in his hand and read aloud: "Based on the performance of the new students in the assessment, the core disciples who have been approved by the academy are: Huo Zhanji, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Zhou Sichen, Cao Jinxuan, Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, Ning Tian, ​​Wu Feng, and Xie Huanyue."

"Given that some new students, despite lacking certain talents and abilities, demonstrated outstanding performance during the freshman assessment, they will be considered for promotion to formal core disciples next year. The list is as follows: Cui Yajie, Huang Chutian, Long Xiangyue, and Nanmen Yun'er. That concludes the announcement."

Next came the class division. The entire first year was divided into four classes: Class 1 consisted of offensive and control-type Soul Masters, Class 2 consisted of defensive and agile-type Soul Masters, Class 3 consisted of support-type Soul Masters, and Class 4 consisted of Soul Masters and Weapon Soul Masters with various special attributes, including food-type and healing-type Soul Masters.

After the class assignments were completed, Huo Zhanji and the other two followed Du Weilun to collect their special prize: the left leg bone of the Void Demon Leopard. After discussing it, the three of them gave the soul bone to Xiao Xiao. Huo Zhanji and Wang Dong had incompatible attributes, and since Xiao Xiao lacked offensive methods, this soul bone was just right for her.
