Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 19 The True Agility-Based Attack System

There's not much to say about the battles in District 33 that followed. With Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao working together, who hadn't expended too much energy, the remaining teams were naturally no match for them.

Moreover, since the other teams' martial souls and soul skills were not particularly unique, they needed to go back as soon as possible to research new soul power circuits.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao did not hold back this time either, and each time he dealt with the enemy he faced in the fastest speed and with a clean and decisive manner.

After the round-robin tournament ended and Huo Yuhao and his two companions achieved a perfect 10-0 record, they returned to their respective dormitories. Wang Yan did not ask Huo Yuhao any questions about the details of his martial soul or soul skills.

After all, although Huo Yuhao's performance was good, it was not as eye-catching as his showing off as the team leader with a ten-year soul ring in the original work.

In Wang Yan's view, since he had already seen through Huo Yuhao's most important physical spirit, there was no need to investigate further; he could simply report it to Elder Xuan.

Poseidon Lake, Poseidon Island.

Wang Yan respectfully bowed to Taotie Douluo Xuanzi, who was happily eating a wine gourd in one hand and a chicken leg in the other.

He then respectfully reported on several students who deserved attention and cultivation during this freshman assessment, especially Huo Yuhao, Lan Susu, and Lan Luoluo, who possessed a Body Martial Soul. After all, Wang Yan wanted to learn more about these rare Body Martial Souls.

"A Body Spirit? Someone from the Body Sect? No, if it were the Body Sect, they wouldn't want such a top-tier spirit to be left to languish outside," Xuanzi muttered.

"Yes, and the martial soul of this student named Huo Yuhao is recorded in the information he submitted as a mutated martial soul with a spiritual attribute. According to the students who conducted his entrance examination, his insight is also extremely amazing."

"It should be the ability that his first soul skill gave him. Although we don't know what kind of soul beast it came from, it is very suitable for his already outstanding martial soul, complementing each other perfectly."

"A spirit-attribute martial soul, interesting. In that case, this kid has a top-tier body martial soul. Haha, I never thought that Shrek Academy would be able to obtain one."

"Oh? A top-tier physical body martial soul?" Wang Yan asked, somewhat puzzled. "Elder Xuan, do you mean that the hair martial souls of Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo are different from this?"

"Hehe, of course." Xuanzi seemed to be in a good mood. He stopped eating the chicken leg, stood up, stretched, and said.

"The strength of a martial soul can be directly distinguished by its importance in the human body."

"Aside from the Body Martial Soul passed down by the successive sect leaders of the Body Sect, the most top-tier martial souls are the brain and heart, which symbolize the source of human thought and power."

"Secondly, there is volume. The larger the proportion of the main body's martial soul to the body volume, the higher its level. For example, the level of martial soul arm and martial soul palm is obvious at a glance."

"Huo Yuhao's martial soul, Spirit Eye, may seem to be an eye, but since it is of the spiritual attribute, it means that his martial soul is not just an eye."

"It must have some connection to the human brain to possess mental attributes."

"Moreover, the combined value of the eyes and the brain far exceeds that of the Martial Soul Brain alone."

"After all, although the Martial Soul Brain is important, it is hidden inside the human body and is difficult to activate in the early stages of a Soul Master's cultivation, and even more difficult to use freely."

"But it's different when you combine it with eyes. The brain is responsible for amplifying mental power, while the eyes provide an external medium for projecting that powerful mental power."

"That's why you couldn't understand how Huo Yuhao and the others defeated Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo's Martial Soul Fusion Technique. After all, with your talent and cultivation, it's probably difficult for you to reach the profound level of spiritual power."

"As for their hair, it is considered part of their martial soul, but it is not particularly outstanding. However, the fact that the twin sisters' martial souls are fused greatly enhances their potential."

"Interesting. This batch of trainees is quite good. Reserve a spot for me in the new student assessment ranking competition. I'll go and see for myself."

"Yes," Wang Yan said respectfully, without expressing any dissatisfaction with Xuanzi about his lack of talent. After all, if he were exceptionally talented, he wouldn't have switched to studying theory.

Because Huo Yuhao had seen through Wang Dong's identity, Wang Dong didn't come up to him to talk about trying out a spirit fusion technique after returning to the dormitory, which relieved Huo Yuhao.

It seems that Tang Buddha isn't in a hurry to forcefully interfere with Wang Dong's thinking.

Upon entering the Sea of ​​Spirit, Huo Yuhao began to repeatedly experiment with stacking the same soul power circuits, attempting to simulate an effect similar to soul skill fusion.

As for spirit fusion skills, or self-spirit fusion skills, Huo Yuhao is not prepared to try them yet. After all, one should do what one is meant to do, and right now he is just a small one-ring spirit master.

Although the self in the sea of ​​the mind is almost omnipotent, all that can be done is what one understands or can deduce.

Huo Yuhao is not yet fully prepared for anything involving deep-seated modifications to himself or adjustments to his martial soul, so he naturally wouldn't rashly attempt such a thing.

Thus, although no remarkable research results were obtained, Huo Yuhao was able to initially superimpose two identical soul power circuits without causing conflict.

With the completion of the initial freshman assessment competition, Huo Yuhao and his team were given a short day to rest and recuperate.

Soon, after a short rest and recuperation, the knockout stage began as scheduled.

After all 64 groups of trainees participating in the elimination rounds had arrived, they began to draw lots to form groups and prepare for the elimination rounds.

Compared to the multiple sessions per day during the freshman assessment, the elimination rounds only have two sessions per day, for a total of three days.

However, both the difficulty and the intensity of the competition far surpass the previous freshman assessment. After all, the opponents back then were of varying quality, but this time the opponents are all the best among this year's students.

The morning's match was easy; the opponents weren't very strong, and Huo Yuhao and his team defeated them without much effort. However, the afternoon's opponents were a different story.

Looking at the three girls opposite him, before entering the arena, Huo Yuhao whispered to Wang Dong beside him, "Wang Dong, you should take care of that green-haired girl first."

"Xiao Xiao, you can handle the red-haired one. Just hold her off. The last one is mine."

"Of course, if the two of you can't do it, I'll support you."

Meanwhile, outside the arena, Mu Jin and Zhou Yi, who were already at odds, made a bet and started fighting. However, Huo Yuhao would never deliberately admit defeat just to annoy Zhou Yi.

After both parties entered the room simultaneously, the proctor announced, "Both parties, state your names."

The positions of Huo Yuhao and the other two remained unchanged, continuing the previous, conventional arrangement.

On the other side, the red-haired short-haired girl and the light green-haired long-haired girl shielded the blonde girl behind them, forming a very common triangular formation.

"Wu Feng, Class 9, Level 25 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master."

"Nanmen Yun'er, Class 9, Level 24 Agility-type Battle Soul Master."

"Ning Tian, ​​Class 9, freshman, level 31 support-type weapon spirit master."

The three of them announced their names and soul power levels, but generally it is enough to just state their class and name.

Huo Yuhao and the other two did not use the other party's method to introduce themselves.

Huo Yuhao simply said, "Class 1, freshmen, Huo Yuhao, agility-type battle spirit master."

Seeing that Huo Yuhao did not report his soul power level, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao naturally did not say anything more.

"Xiao Xiao, a control-type battle spirit master from Class 1 of freshmen."

"Wang Dong, Class 1, a powerful offensive Soul Master."

For some reason, Wu Feng's eyes were filled with arrogance as he looked at Huo Yuhao and the other two with disdain.

Seeing this, Wang Dong narrowed her eyes, and the fire in her heart was ignited. That's just how Wang Dong is. Although she can act silly in front of her friends, she also has a lot of hidden pride.

After both sides announced their names, the proctor immediately announced the start of the competition.

Wang Dong dashed out in one stride, his blue-gold wings unfurling, with the Xiao Xiao Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron following closely behind.

Upon seeing the opponent's powerful attack-type Soul Master approaching, Wu Feng didn't hesitate. With the Soul Master's possession, the early advantages of the Dragon-type Soul Master were fully displayed, and Wu Feng's originally unremarkable figure suddenly became tall and full.

At the same time, a layer of fine dragon scales adhered to her body, and she flashed as she was about to intercept Wang Dong.

But at that moment, as Wang Dong fluttered his wings, eight different types of hidden weapons emerged from under his wings, tracing treacherous arcs, and struck Wu Feng with a clanging sound.

Taking advantage of the momentary stiffness caused by being hit by the hidden weapon, the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron had already surrounded Wu Feng in the center, causing a violent shock and bringing Wu Feng a moment of dizziness.

Wang Dong then met Nanmen Yun'er, and at the same time, the others realized that the eight hidden weapons that had previously blocked Wu Feng had actually bounced off Wu Feng and landed where Nanmen Yun'er was.

It was precisely because of this that Nanmen Yun'er, who was originally planning to take advantage of Wu Feng's interception of Wang Dong to launch a surprise attack on Xiao Xiao, was entangled by Wang Dong after being briefly intercepted by hidden weapons.

"The Seven Treasures have been transformed into Glazed Glass. The Seven Treasures have names, the first being: Speed. The Seven Treasures have names, the third being: Power." Seeing that the two front-row members were now entangled, Ning Tian no longer hesitated and immediately used his soul skill to assist them.

Immediately following was another soul skill, "Seven Treasures Have a Name, Second Name: Release." A beam of light fell from the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda onto Wu Feng, relieving her dizziness caused by Xiao Xiao's cauldron shock.

However, at this moment, Nammon Yoon-ah, who was standing to the side, could no longer hold on.

Despite the speed boost from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, she was finding it difficult to utilize her agility to outmaneuver Wang Dong.

No matter where she dodged, a hidden weapon would always emerge from a blind spot and strike a pressure point on her body.

Although these acupoints were not fatal, each time she was hit, she would either lose her balance or her limbs would become weak. At the same time, Wang Dong's repeated attacks were also difficult for her to resist. Ning Tian, ​​who was watching from behind, couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Because she couldn't understand how Huo Yuhao did it, why he could hit the target every time, even though he was a speed-type Great Soul Master who was empowered by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master with the Speed ​​Soul Curse!

How was Huo Yuhao, a mere one-ring Soul Master, able to predict his opponent's movements and counter them?

Moreover, it wasn't just Nanmen Yun'er; even Wu Feng was targeted. While targeting Nanmen Yun'er, Huo Yuhao was also able to help Xiao Xiao hold off Wu Feng.

Wu Feng, who unleashed his first soul skill, Dragon's Fire, and his second soul skill, Dragon's Wrath, broke through the encirclement of the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron.

Xiao Xiao felt that the difficulty of controlling her martial soul had increased dramatically. Although she and Wu Feng were both second-ring great soul masters, Wu Feng not only had his own amplification ability, but also the amplification from Ning Tian's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

"Xiao Xiao, use your Soul Skill to fuse the rings," Huo Yuhao said to Xiao Xiao, while replacing the hidden weapon in his hand with a heavier Iron Gallbladder.

Because of the flames surrounding Wu Feng at this moment, throwing weapons such as knives and needles could no longer effectively hinder him, so it was necessary to use this kind of heavier throwing weapon.

In addition to his own power, Huo Yuhao also urgently activated the soul power circulation that he had prepared in his body.

Accelerate Soul Power Circulation Combination - Compress Soul Power Circulation - Activated!

Huo Yuhao's already frighteningly fast attack speed was now even more impressive, leaving afterimages as a barrage of hidden weapons flew in precise arcs towards Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er.

These hidden weapons calculated their every move and blocked all their possible actions.

Seeing this, the proctors on the sidelines twitched their lips slightly. The Tang Clan had few members, and they hadn't seen many low-level soul masters from the Tang Clan use hidden weapons before.

After all, mastering the technique of throwing weapons is not something that can be done overnight, and once the technique is mastered, the advantages of soul tools have long surpassed those of throwing weapons.

This was the first time they had ever witnessed the terrifying dominance of hidden weapons within the first and second rings. Putting aside everything else, the sheer number of them was quite eerie.

"Wow, is this the real agility-based attack system?" some teachers exclaimed from the sidelines.

"Looks like we'll have to find some time to restrict these hidden weapons."

"Hey, what are you saying? What are you saying? The Tang Clan's hidden weapons have a long history, and they weren't restricted even ten thousand years ago. Why should they be restricted now?"

"Being able to skillfully use hidden weapons is also part of the Tang Clan's training, so let's not say anything more. After all, each sect has its own unique skills."

"This time they banned hidden weapons, next time they'll ban fusion rings, and the time after that, will they ban spirit fusion techniques? It doesn't make sense."

On the field, thanks to the powerful physical enhancement granted by his dragon-type martial soul, coupled with the help of multiple attribute-enhancing soul skills, Wu Feng, though in a sorry state, did not suffer any serious injuries, only his movements were restricted.

However, Yoona from the South Gate couldn't hold on any longer and had to be carried off the stage by the proctor after her injuries became too severe.
