The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

Although Poseidon Lake is large, Xu Zihuang's speed allowed him to reach the lakeside path that almost runs through the entire Shrek Academy in less than fifteen minutes.

However, what puzzled him was that there were far fewer students walking around the academy today than usual.

No one passes by his place, which saves him some trouble.

When he arrived at the assessment area, he finally understood the reason.

Because his talent and strength displayed that morning were so astonishing, the news spread throughout the outer academy. And since there were no classes this afternoon, not only freshmen but also the vast majority of upperclassmen gathered outside the assessment area to see for themselves if the rumors were true.

On the high platform in the assessment area, Du Weiren frowned as he looked at the two teams beside the field.

On one side were Tuoba Yu and Nanmen Yun'er, and on the other side were three freshmen from Class 8.

The three of them looked eager to try.

The team from Class 8 of the freshmen was actually the seeded team in their class, with all three members being Great Soul Masters with a Soul Power of Level 20 or above. They had originally resigned themselves to their fate when they were drawn against Yu Tianhuang's team, but who knew that the competition was about to begin and Yu Tianhuang still hadn't arrived.

This is their opportunity, isn't it? It's not about the rewards for the freshman assessment, but about getting their team to achieve the best possible ranking so they can gain more attention from the academy.

They were self-aware enough not to believe they could defeat those new teams led by Soul Masters.

Before they could even step onto the field, a figure descending from the sky instantly froze the smiles on their faces.

A dark red crystal shattered with a crash, and Xu Zihuang landed steadily beside Tuoba Yu and Nanmen Yun'er at the sidelines, apologizing to Du Weilun in the stands.

"I'm sorry, Director Du, I'm late."

"Join the team," Du Weiren said calmly, his furrowed brows relaxing.

Although Du Weiren was always strict, he would still give some preferential treatment to students with good talent and strong strength. Moreover, Wang Yan had given Xu Zihuang a heads-up before taking him to Seagod Island.

Everyone present was drawn to Xu Zihuang's high-profile entrance.

Xu Zihuang could only express his helplessness in this regard. The area outside the assessment zone was packed with people, and this was the only way he could get in.

When the three students from Class 8 of the freshmen opposite saw Xu Zihuang, their mentality completely collapsed.

With Yu Tianhuang around, they have absolutely no chance. On the contrary, they will only become supporting characters.

What's the point of fighting? They can't win, and losing won't benefit them either.

The three of them simply withdrew. Let's start! Let's start!

Chapter 94. Talents among people cannot be generalized.

The homeroom teacher of Class 8, a freshman class, looked rather displeased when his class's seeded team conceded defeat. However, he couldn't help but understand why.

Yu Tianhuang's strength far exceeds the scope of a newcomer.

The overall strength of his class's team was similar to that of Wang Dong's team from Class 1 of freshmen, who suffered a crushing defeat that morning. Forcing them to continue would only damage their confidence.

After a moment of contemplation, he shook his head somewhat helplessly and sincerely congratulated Mu Jin beside him.

"Teacher Mu, you've really taught a great student this time. It seems pretty clear who will win the championship in this year's freshman assessment."

"It's because Yu Tianhuang's talent is too good; it actually has little to do with me," Mu Jin replied with a smile, her attitude very polite.

"It's too early to say exactly how things will turn out. We'll have to see how they perform."

Among the external teachers at Shrek Academy, Mu Jin was always well-liked. Only when facing Zhou Yi would she assertively confront her.

Of course, that's what she said; she still had high hopes for Xu Zihuang and his team.

At the edge of the assessment area, the three students from Class 8, who had voluntarily conceded defeat, showed no signs of frustration. Instead, they playfully became acquainted with Xu Zihuang.

Most students who were able to gain admission to Shrek Academy with a recommendation letter from the lord of their local capital city had some kind of background. Under such elite education, they were far more mature than their peers who were born into commoner families.

They're not stupid. Yu Tianhuang is so talented; if they could befriend him, it would definitely be very beneficial to their future development.

After politely nodding to the three students from Class 8, Xu Zihuang turned and led Tuoba Yu and Nanmen Yun'er away from the area.

This afternoon's match was the elimination round, narrowing down the field from 32 to 16. This means they easily made it into the top 16.

Because the three freshmen from Class 8 voluntarily conceded defeat, many of the senior students from outside the assessment area who had come mainly for Xu Zihuang also lost interest and dispersed.

Although they had just noticed the three purple thousand-year soul rings around Xu Zihuang, they were still somewhat disappointed that they hadn't witnessed Xu Zihuang use his soul skills to achieve an overwhelming victory like he had in the morning.

But one thing is certain: from today onwards, Xu Zihuang's name will resound throughout the entire School of Foreign Languages.

Such talent surpasses even that of Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, who are known as the twin stars of the Foreign Languages ​​Department.

The three left from a less crowded area outside the assessment zone.

In the first assessment in the morning, Xu Zihuang single-handedly crushed his opponent. In the afternoon assessment, the opponent immediately admitted defeat.

In this tense elimination round, they are probably the only ones who can be so free.

"I thought you wouldn't be able to make it back in time."

Tuoba Yu rested his hands on the back of his head and said contentedly.

"But I have to say, it feels really good to win without lifting a finger."

"I think you and Yoona need to showcase your abilities more in the upcoming assessments. The selection of core disciples after the freshman assessments mainly considers individual strength and potential," Xu Zihuang reminded her with a smile, then frowned and glanced in the direction of the infirmary before suddenly saying.

"I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

In this three-person team, Xu Zihuang and Tuoba Yu, being roommates, are clearly closer. While Nanmen Yun'er has a gentle personality, she generally doesn't talk much unless she's very familiar with someone.

These past few days of new student assessments, without encountering any teams that could truly pose a threat to them, have naturally meant there's no question of sharing hardships together.

After spending these days together, Nanmen Yun'er can only be considered a relatively familiar classmate and teammate to the two of them.

If Xu Zihuang were here, things would be fine, but now that Tuoba Yu and Nanmen Yun'er are alone together, the atmosphere suddenly becomes awkward.

Feeling extremely uncomfortable, Tuoba Yu and Nanmen Yun'er walked through Shrek Square and hurriedly parted ways at the fork in the road between the male and female dormitories.

Tuoba Yu is the typical guy who's both introverted and cowardly. He talks about pretty freshmen or upperclassmen with Xu Zihuang every day in the dorm, but when it comes to actually interacting with the opposite sex, he can't utter a single word for ages.

……

Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao, who suffered a backlash from using his soul skill against Xu Zihuang in the morning's match, finally regained consciousness.

Xu Zihuang's treatment of Huo Yuhao is definitely different from that of the Fearful Demon Dragon.

The moment Huo Yuhao suffered the backlash, he deliberately restrained his outward-projecting spiritual power. Otherwise, given Huo Yuhao's low cultivation level and spiritual power, his fate would have been far worse than that of the terrifying demonic dragon.

While it may not result in an immediate skull explosion, there is a 99% chance of death.

He couldn't possibly kill someone in public at Shrek Academy, and he didn't want his hard-earned image to crumble.

Therefore, when Xu Zihuang accidentally discovered Bei Bei, Tang Ya, and Huo Yuhao lying on the bed through the glass window of the infirmary, he decided to come and visit Huo Yuhao temporarily.

Tang Ya just went to see the therapy teacher at the infirmary.

Huo Yuhao sat up and leaned against the edge of the bed, calmly asking Bei Bei, who was sitting by the bed, a question.

"Senior Brother, can you tell me what happened after I fainted? We must have lost, right..."

Although he had fainted due to the backlash, he remembered very clearly the three purple soul rings that appeared around Xu Zihuang.

A thousand-year soul ring was an unattainable dream for him. After all, when he awakened his martial soul, his innate soul power was only level one. To cultivate to the Soul Master level, capable of absorbing a thousand-year soul ring, would definitely take a very long time. Perhaps he wouldn't even be able to overcome the level 30 bottleneck.

He felt a pang of sadness, but not a great deal of frustration. He had realized long ago, when he met Wang Dong, that people's talents cannot be generalized.

Moreover, seeing Tang Ya and Bei Bei as soon as he woke up made him realize that there were still people who cared about him.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao was no longer as stubborn and closed-off as before, Bei Bei patted Huo Yuhao's head with relief.

"Tianhuang's talent is rare even in the tens of thousands of years of Shrek Academy's history. Yuhao, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

“I understand, Senior Brother.”

Actually, he had a very good impression of Yu Tianhuang. Despite his exceptional talent, he wasn't arrogant at all. He had also heard from Bei Bei that Yu Tianhuang had taken him back to his dormitory after he fainted. Furthermore, he was also able to obtain the precious soul ring of the Fear Demon Dragon because of Yu Tianhuang.

"Then let me give you some advice," Bei Bei said with a slight smile.

"Yuhao, why don't you take Tianhuang as your goal? As long as you work hard to catch up with him, after a while, even if you find that the distance between you and him is getting bigger and bigger, when you look back, you will find that you have also narrowed the gap with other peers."

After saying that, Bei Bei took out a jade bottle from her soul tool and placed it in Huo Yuhao's hand. Inside the jade bottle was a deep blue pill, the Xuan Shui Pill, which was worth a fortune.

In Bei Bei's eyes, Huo Yuhao was, after all, a member of the Tang Sect, so he ultimately decided to get him a Xuan Shui Pill. The Spirit Eye Martial Soul still had great potential. Even if his talent was lacking, he could use pills to assist his cultivation. He didn't expect Huo Yuhao to achieve great things in the future; as long as he could help Xiaoya, that was enough.

He could see that Huo Yuhao seemed to be carrying a lot of burdens, but these could also serve as motivation for his cultivation.

Chapter 95 Huo Yuhao's Little Thoughts

Shrek Academy's infirmary is a building adjacent to the freshman teaching building.

The interior is very quiet, and the hall and connecting corridors are decorated with bright or lush plants, giving people a pleasing feeling.

They even cultivated quite a few plant-type spirit beasts with calming effects. One can't help but marvel at Shrek Academy's immense wealth.

As soon as Xu Zihuang entered the hall, he saw two familiar figures walking down the stairs.

He quickly quickened his pace and arrived in front of the two of them, greeting them.

"Teacher Lv, Senior Xiaoya."

Teacher Lü is the young female teacher from the healing department who appeared during the practical combat exercise of their freshman class nine, and the one she called Senior Sister Xiaoya is naturally Tang Ya.

Teacher Lü looked up and nodded to Xu Zihuang with a kind smile.

The impression Xu Zihuang had left on her when he knocked Wu Feng unconscious with a single punch was too deep, and she had also happened to be watching the elimination rounds from the high platform that morning. No teacher could dislike a student as talented, strong, and polite as Xu Zihuang.

"Tianhuang, what brings you here?"

Tang Ya looked on in surprise.

Xu Zihuang looked guilty and said with a wry smile, "Huo Yuhao was injured because of me, so after the afternoon's assessment, I wanted to come here to check on him."

"Alright, Tang, no need to see me off. You two can chat now."

Teacher Lü, who was standing nearby, understood and waved her hand before walking into the office not far away.

"Thank you for your help, Teacher Lv." Tang Ya chuckled and then led Xu Zihuang upstairs.

“Teacher Lv just checked on Yuhao and he’s fine now. He can resume his cultivation after a short rest. I heard from Teacher Lv that you held back, otherwise Yuhao would have needed at least ten days to half a month to recover from the backlash caused by using his soul skill.”

As she spoke, she patted Xu Zihuang on the shoulder, pretending to be a little adult.

"Tianhuang, you're pretty good."

However, she couldn't maintain her serious expression for long before she broke free, jumping up and down, making no attempt to hide her joy.
