Douluo: The Peerless Dragon Shakes the Universe.

Chapter 70: Winners List and Public Reactions

Du Weiren sighed and came out to announce the top three.

It's just a formality; everyone involved knows what's going on.

The rewards announced later are the highlight of the annual freshman assessment at Martial Soul Academy.

Even students who don't rank in the top three may still receive a reward, which has led many freshmen who consider themselves to have performed well to start looking forward to it.

Du Weiren, holding the newly drafted list, cleared his throat twice and began to speak:

"The top three teams will receive a unified reward from the academy. The academy will provide assistance to all members of the three teams in obtaining the necessary spirit rings, regardless of their age, as long as they can handle it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the students who had been eagerly listening in the audience exclaimed in surprise.

Promising a Limitless Soul Ring is an incredibly generous reward.

As a Soul Master's strength gradually increases, things are manageable in the early stages, but the Soul Rings required become increasingly powerful in the later stages, and the difficulty of acquiring them increases exponentially.

If we can stall until the ninth spirit ring...

Ahem, although the chance of becoming a Title Douluo is extremely slim, out of billions of people on the continent, there are only about two hundred Title Douluos.

Just thinking about it made all the trainees blush.

Among the three winning teams standing at the front, the expressions of Huang Chutian, Lan Susu, and Lan Ruoruo were the most captivating.

Even the team members who had just been treated and woken up—Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and Cui Yajie—were slightly moved.

Even though their family background is extraordinary, they wouldn't dare to take advantage of the benefits offered by Shrek Academy.

After all, no matter how extraordinary they are, they can't compare to Shrek.

Of course, not everyone was moved.

Wang Dong, the white goose, looked completely indifferent.

Even when Du Weiren was speaking, his gaze was always directed at the dark-haired boy to the side.

For him, whether he wins an award or not is not important.

The most important thing is to beat that awful guy up.

Unfortunately, despite his, Xiao Xiao, and Huo Yuhao's secret plotting for several days to set up a trap that could ensnare the Soul Sect, they were still humiliated by someone instead.

Although he wasn't seriously injured in the end, Wang Dong still felt a burning resentment, believing that someone had been condescendingly fooling a child.

The person on the field with a similar expression to Wang Dong was Jiang Shuo.

However, he didn't have any other thoughts in his mind at the moment.

Their gaze was even fixed on a corner outside the arena.

In that corner were two women who were also looking this way.

They were both women with unparalleled beauty.

However, the two do have some differences in appearance.

The older-looking one had long, flowing black hair hanging down her back, and a gentle, refined appearance.

Her entire outfit was also mainly light blue, which complemented her black hair.

Zhang Lexuan.

Despite the distance, Jiang Shuo recognized him at a glance.

Standing next to her was a woman with wine-red hair, a cold expression, and even a hint of sharpness.

Her figure is quite exaggerated; Zhang Lexuan is not even in the same league as her.

Ma Xiaotao.

Jiang Shuo's mind went blank, focusing only on the two women who were looking in his direction.

What are these two favored daughters of Shrek Academy doing here?

In an instant, Ma Xiaotao's gaze met his.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, her full, rounded chest began to sway slightly, and a strange color welled up in her eyes.

As if suppressing something, the surrounding air gradually distorted, and a faint blush rose from Ma Xiaotao's body.

Zhang Lexuan was the first to notice something was wrong and quickly grabbed her junior sister's arm.

The senior disciple of the inner courtyard frowned and whispered, "Calm down, stop thinking about it."

"There are too many new students. If things get out of control, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Ma Xiaotao's lips twitched, and the light red color on her body slowly faded away.

"I know what I'm doing, Senior Sister."

"It's just that seeing that bastard stirred up some emotions in me."

Zhang Lexuan glanced at it a few times before slowly looking away.

Jiang Shuo, who was hundreds of meters away, saw the two people move their lips, but he didn't hear them say anything.

But Ma Xiaotao's expression gradually softened.

Jiang Shuo looked away and decided not to look at her anymore.

At this point, Du Weiren began announcing the grand prize.

Jiang Shuo focused his gaze on the old man, intending to go to the inner courtyard after he finished reading.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"Given the large number of outstanding students who have emerged in this year's freshman competition, the academy will grant them special permission to become core disciples of our Martial Soul Outer Academy."

The freshmen immediately strained their ears, eager not to miss their names.

A core disciple of the No. 1 academy on the mainland!

What does it mean?

This means a huge allocation of resources and training!

"After careful evaluation by the academy, the following individuals have been selected as the first batch of core disciples: Jiang Shuo, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, Huo Yuhao, Dai Huabin, Ning Tian, ​​Wu Feng, Zhu Lu..."

Before the list was even finished being read, apart from a few people who looked indifferent, the hearts of all the trainees were in their throats.

Those whose names had been called began to show expressions of joy.

Huo Yuhao's eyebrows danced with joy, unable to contain his delight.

I'm even more grateful that I made the decision to reveal my true form's martial soul yesterday.

If he had kept it hidden, all the outside world would have seen was his ten-year spirit ring. During the competition, he would have always stood at the back, being carried forward by his two teammates.

In that case, forget about the benefits for core disciples, they probably won't even get a penny.

However, after a short while, he became conflicted again. He had almost reached an agreement with the Soul Guidance Academy, but because of what happened last night, he was afraid and suddenly became a core disciple of the Martial Soul Academy... He wondered if he could be a core student of both academies at the same time.

Standing slightly shorter than the first-place winner, Dai Huabin looked up and saw a calm, expressionless face.

A sense of powerlessness suddenly welled up inside me.

After being brutally beaten, he actually became a little more sober.

Since you can't compete with background, then compete with hard work!

Shrek Academy is no worse than Taixu Sect. As long as I can enter the inner academy, the resources I will receive will probably be no less than that guy's.

He's only twelve years old; he still has time.

If five years isn't enough, then ten!

If ten years isn't enough, then a hundred years will do!

Jealousy was almost gone, and shame and anger were forcefully dispelled. Only the thought of catching up and surpassing remained in Dai Huabin's mind.

Before he came, his father had advised him to restrain his temper, and perhaps... there was such a person who could help him polish away his past shortcomings.

Just like the sea god and his ancestor Dai Mubai back then.

Dai Huabin withdrew his gaze from the black-haired boy, a strong desire to move forward welling up in his heart.

……

Du Weilen concluded his lengthy speech.

Looking at the energetic students, he waved his hand and smiled sincerely, "Work hard! The future is at your feet."

"Shrek's stage is big enough for you to showcase your talents."

"The years here are beautiful enough; feel free to give it your all and enjoy your youth!"

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted from below.

Du Weiren retreated, and several powerful men who looked like teachers stepped forward.

"We will now begin class assignments."

Mu Jin also walked forward, but there was a sigh on her face.

She glanced at Jiang Shuo, who had won first place, and silently began to select defensive-type battle spirit masters from Class Two.
