Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 127 The Reason Why Wang Dong's Brain Doesn't Work (Daily 10,000 words)

"Hehe, so making money is this easy."

Wang Dong's face showed a smug look, while Huo Yuhao seemed quite surprised by Wang Dong's performance in the battle spirit competition today.

Something's not right. Something's nine out of ten things is wrong.

Given Wang Dong's limited intelligence, is he really capable of engaging in such sophisticated behavior as price gouging?

Huo Yuhao stared at Wang Dong for a while, and suddenly remembered the six divine powers that had surged out of Wang Dong's body when he and Wang Dong tried the Martial Soul Fusion Technique a couple of days ago.

No way?

Huo Yuhao was startled, and a terrifying thought crept into his mind.

The next morning, the warm sunlight shone on the earth, illuminating the expectant and excited faces of the first-year students.

Of course, I am confident that I will pass the assessment.

Those players who had won five rounds were filled with anxiety and unease, fearing they might become one of the unlucky ones outside the top 155.

Huo Yuhao's team naturally didn't have such a problem. Yesterday, they not only achieved a perfect record of ten consecutive victories, but also made a fortune in gold coins from other teams. They went to the school cafeteria's number eight window for a meal, and the three of them were completely satisfied.

At this moment, everyone in Class 1 of the freshmen class was sitting obediently at the table, but Teacher Wang Yan remained silent, holding a stack of materials, and spoke in a somewhat heavy tone.

"I regret to inform you that the new student assessment has concluded after three days, and the final results were tallied last night."

"Among this stack of names, many students stayed, but there were also many others..."

Upon hearing Wang Yan's words, many students with mediocre grades showed a bitter expression on their faces.

They really tried their best, and many support-type Soul Masters even went all out, buffing their teammates and then rushing out to grab the opposing support-type or even agility-type Soul Masters, forcibly dragging them away to be eliminated together.

But even so, they still couldn't stay at this legendary academy?

Seeing the atmosphere on the field become somber, Teacher Wang Yan smiled slightly: "Just kidding. Congratulations everyone, all the teams in our class have passed the elimination line. No team has been eliminated."

Many students in the class had prepared themselves to await the verdict, but after hearing Teacher Wang Yan announce the result, they first looked at each other in disbelief, followed by unexpected elation.

"The teacher didn't seem surprised by the result."

Huo Yuhao forced a whisper into a line and quietly asked Wang Yan.

"Otherwise, although some students in our class may have only average talent, the other classes are different. They don't need to beat opponents who are more talented than themselves; they only need to beat all teams whose talent is similar to their own."

Wang Yan smiled charmingly: "Other classes' support classes are eliminated when caught by agility-based classes, but our class's support classes can drag the opposing support classes for two minutes. Other classes' agility-based classes are eliminated when caught by strength-based classes, but our class's agility-based classes can immediately stick together with strength-based classes and drag the other class out of the game together."

"In these three months, the students in our class have not only improved their physical fitness, but also their determination to stay at Shrek Academy. Both of these are indispensable. I had previously expected that our class's dropout rate would be very low, but I really did not expect that with everyone's perseverance, we would be able to achieve such excellent results."

The freshman class had become a sea of ​​joy. Wang Yan smiled as he watched the students, without trying to stop them. This was a reward that each of them had earned with their sweat, effort, wisdom, and hard work.

During the past few days of intense competition, Wang Yan had spoken with many of the proctors. Almost all of them said that the students in Class 1 of the freshmen were more resilient and had better physical fitness than the students in other classes.

The team in Class 1 not only rarely loses when facing teams of the same level and with similar equipment, but also steadily scores points thanks to their excellent basic skills. They also often have outstanding performances when facing battles with a large gap in strength between themselves and their opponents.

Several teams, through sheer resilience, managed to defeat teams with better soul ring configurations and soul power levels than their own, which drew admiration from the teachers.

After this experience, Teacher Wang Yan's training methods finally gained the attention of higher authorities. Although Teacher Wang Yan had previously conducted similar training with other classes, he was taking over the program halfway through and usually only taught fourth, fifth, and sixth graders, so the results were not significant. This time, his efforts have finally paid off.

As for the reward for Teacher Wang Yan, the college is still discussing it and plans to announce it together after the freshman competition.

"Alright, alright, students, quiet down. Let's celebrate back in our dorms. I still have things to say. Please give me a chance, okay?"

Wang Yan's words elicited laughter from many students. It seemed they had only given Teacher Wang Yan a couple of sentences before they started celebrating.

Teacher Wang Yan didn't take up too much of everyone's time for celebration. He simply explained the elimination round format to the teams that had advanced to the next round and then let everyone go out and have fun. As for Huo Yuhao and his two companions, they were left behind.

"Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao, congratulations to the three of you for achieving a perfect record in the round-robin tournament. Your teacher is very happy for you."

"However," Wang Yan suddenly changed the subject, pushing up his glasses, "don't get too excited yet. Besides our class, several other classes in our college also produced a team with a perfect 10-0 record this year."

"Next, you will face not only teams of Great Soul Masters with equally undefeated records, but also Soul Venerable level opponents, such as..."

Wang Yan then took out a stack of documents and handed them to the three of them. The documents clearly recorded the performances of the other undefeated teams with Soul Master status during the competition.

"This kind of statistic is available in every class, including District 33 where you are. However, Teacher Mu Jin is very disappointed with your performance because you haven't used a single meaningful soul skill in ten matches. It seems that you have the most trump cards among all the teams."

At this point, Wang Yan couldn't help but laugh, glancing at Wang Dong with interest.

Not only did they charge for water, but they also started raising prices on the spot, with each session more expensive than the last. I never saw this kid so clever when I taught Wang Dong before.

Teacher Mu Jin was increasingly frustrated while proctoring Huo Yuhao's team. Although she liked Huo Yuhao very much, she also hoped that Ning Tian's team could defeat Huo Yuhao's team. However, after ten matches, their team not only failed to use a single skill but also gained a small advantage. Where could she find justice?

Of course, it can't be said that none of them were activated. Huo Yuhao's mental detection and mental sharing were always on, but these things were very subtle. Unless you experienced them firsthand, you couldn't figure out what their effects were no matter how hard you tried.

Tonight is my midterm graduation project progress report meeting. After that, I'll have some free time. I'll try to write a bit more and get back to morning updates, and also make up for the backlog of chapters I owe my readers.
