Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 149 Dual Core Disciple Identity (Daily 10,000 words)

It was another sunny morning. Thanks to the presence of Poseidon Lake on campus, the air at Shrek Academy was not only fresh but also very humid.

All the new students who passed the assessment gathered at Shrek Square, waiting for the upcoming class assignments.

Du Weilun, holding a folder in his hand, smiled as he surveyed the group of students for a week before saying:

"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. The third place winner in the freshman assessment is Huang Chutian's team."

That's right, Huang Chutian's team, which had previously been defeated by Huo Yuhao's group, achieved a commendable third place. They lost to Dai Huabin's group in the semifinals, but won the third-place match.

This is also thanks to Huo Yuhao's ruthless tactics in the elimination rounds. Both Soul Master teams were directly eliminated by Huo Yuhao's team in the elimination rounds, allowing Huang Chutian's team to take advantage of the situation.

Otherwise, even with their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they might not be able to secure a victory against these two teams.

"Second place, Dai Huabin's team, team members."

As applause rang out, Dai Huabin and his two companions stepped forward.

The three of them didn't look very excited. Their proud Netherworld White Tiger had been killed by a second-ring Great Soul Master, and Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu were still reeling from the incident.

Cui Yajie's complexion didn't improve much either. Huo Yuhao's murderous aura was too terrifying, so much so that she kept having nightmares last night. Her dreams were full of warriors covered in blood, corpses with severed limbs everywhere, and the smell of gunpowder and sulfur, as well as the strong, lingering stench of blood.

After a slight pause, Du Weilen raised his voice a little.

"Now, please give a warm round of applause to welcome our champions! They are Team Huo Yuhao! Team members: Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao!"

Immediately, the entire stadium erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

The three strode forward with their heads held high. Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were laughing so hard they were practically crowing. Fortunately, Huo Yuhao still paid some attention to his image and led his two embarrassing teammates onto the podium.

Seeing the three step forward, Du Weiren smiled slightly, gesturing for them to stand in the center. Huo Yuhao looked at Dai Huabin beside him, but Dai Huabin was watching him intently.

Huo Yuhao's lips moved, but no sound came out, while Dai Huabin's fists clenched tightly.

He read Huo Yuhao's lips.

"Now, you'll have to look up to us, loan champions."

Du Weilen said, "Alright, now I will announce the rewards for the top three teams in the freshman assessment. The top three teams will all receive a unified reward from the academy, and each member can request a spirit ring from the academy when they need one, and the academy will assist them in obtaining a spirit ring that is within their means and is most suitable for them."

Upon hearing this, the first-year students were immediately filled with surprised exclamations of admiration.

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

There's a special reward? This is what sets the champion apart from the second and third place winners. Huo Yuhao and his two companions immediately became excited. What exactly had the school prepared for them?

No student objected to Huo Yuhao and his team receiving extra rewards. On their journey, they defeated teams led by Soul Masters Ning Tian, ​​Xie Huanyue, and Dai Huabin.

All three newly minted Soul Masters were defeated by them, so it's fair to say that their victory was entirely due to their skill and lack of any shortcuts. Receiving even more rewards is entirely reasonable.

Moreover, although students were not allowed to watch the final match, there were so many teachers watching that the most discussed topic among the teachers yesterday was Huo Yuhao's solo sword strike that defeated the Netherworld White Tiger.

Huo Yuhao was already exceptionally famous at school, having once achieved the feat of defeating a level 29 Great Soul Master at level 11. Now that this topic has come out, it has spread throughout the entire school in a very short time.

Many teachers who had classes missed the match and were filled with regret, feeling they had lost 10,000 gold soul coins. They were particularly fascinated by Huo Yuhao's final strike.

That was a knife that Elder Xuan himself admitted had injured him. Even if it only left a tiny, barely noticeable wound on the other's hand, it was enough to make him proud!

What kind of mysterious, magnificent, and gorgeous strike was that?

The more the teachers who had watched the competition talked about it, the more it piqued the curiosity of those who hadn't seen it, and naturally, the students who hadn't had the chance to watch the competition became even more curious.

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

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

Du Weilun said, "The quality of this year's freshmen is even better than before. I hope you will continue to work hard. Heaven rewards diligence. No matter how talented you are, you will not reap good rewards without hard work."

"Our Shrek Academy is the number one Soul Master Academy on the continent. I hope you will all graduate smoothly and achieve excellent results. 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 outer academy. 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 Yuhao, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and Dai Huabin."

"Among them, Huo Yuhao enjoys the treatment of being a core disciple of both the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Guidance Department of the Outer Academy. This is the reward for the bet between Dean Yan Shaozhe and Vice Dean Qian Duoduo. You should be aware of this."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but smile.

Wang Dong's thoughts were already wandering. As a dual-core disciple, could he get two free meals if he ate at Exit 8 of the cafeteria?

"Dual-core?"

Many students were shocked to hear the result. For them, a single core disciple spot was already a reward they could only dream of, let alone the status of two core disciples.

After Du Weilin finished reading, the next step was to assign classes.

As the class that trains students in offensive and control disciplines, their homeroom teacher is Wang Yan, who was previously commended by the school.

The assistant class teacher was Ms. Mu Jin, whom Huo Yuhao and his two friends encountered during the round-robin tournament.

"Alright, everyone, please return to the teaching building according to the latest class assignments, led by your respective homeroom teachers. Huo Yuhao, you three come with me to collect your rewards," Director Du Weilun announced.
