Douluo Dalu 2: Unrivaled Tang Sect

Chapter 18.2. The 33rd Arena—3v3

In reality, even though there was a significant gap between Ouyang Junyi and Huo Yuhaos team in terms of strength, Wang Dong shouldnt have been able to achieve victory as quickly as he did just by himself. However, dont forget that he had the assistance of Huo Yuhaos Spiritual Detection Sharing, which was equivalent to a six hundred year soul ring!

Huo Yuhaos Spiritual Detection Sharing wasnt a single skill after all; it provided assistance equivalent to two six hundred year soul rings. The help that Wang Dong had received from Huo Yuhao vastly exceeded the support that his opponents had received from their food system soul master.

Furthermore, Wang Dong also had a hundred year soul ring as his first soul ring, while his soulforce had already reached the twenty-fourth rank; his cultivation tremendously outstripped that of his opponents.

After withdrawing his wings, Wang Dong walked back to Xiao Xiao and Huo Yuhao and high-fived them in celebration. Xiao Xiao smiled. Our class monitor is awesome. Wang Dong, how about you let me enjoy myself next time? She was confident that, if she was the one whod gone out, she wouldve also been able to defeat her opponents. The more she felt that Huo Yuhaos Spiritual Detection was magical, the more she found herself entranced by it. Thus, the person she praised wasnt Wang Dong, but Huo Yuhao.

Wang Dong chortled. Dont! Keep your strength hidden. These ten matches are merely appetisers to the three of us. Its enough for just me to show off. We cant let the other teams get a feel for our strength.

Huo Yuhao chuckled. Wang Dong makes a good point. Xiao Xiao, youll be our trump card.

Xiao Xiao also laughed when she heard their words and nodded in agreement.

Class 1s Team Huo Yuhao wins their first match. After Wang Yan had announced the results of the match, he noted it down on the previous sheet of paper hed pulled out.

On the other side, Ouyang Junyis team of three had already managed to crawl back to their feet. Wang Dong had been lenient on them, so they hadnt suffered any real injuries. However, they had a look of embarrassment on their faces. They didnt want to remain for even one more second after letting everyone see how easily theyd been defeated. Hence, they quickly ran away.

After Wang Yan had recorded the results of the match, he glanced back towards Huo Yuhaos team of three. He inwardly thought, I reckon that this is Class 1s trump card. The students that Teacher Zhou Yi has taught are extraordinary, as expected!

However, he still couldnt figure out Huo Yuhao. Unlike the students, he was clearly able to understand the subtleties behind each team when they registered.

The name of this team from Class 1 was Team Huo Yuhao. In other words, Huo Yuhao was the leader of this team. However, if you looked at it from the perspective of their cultivation levels, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao both outstripped him. To put it bluntly, with Huo Yuhaos soul ring that was only of the ten year rank, as well as his cultivation that hadnt yet broken through to the twentieth rank, he shouldnt even have the qualifications to enter Shrek Academy.

Despite all of this, he was the leader of their team. That is to say, this studentwho had a ten year soul ringwas the core of this team. Just why was this the case?

Wang Yan was a representative from the moderate faction of Shrek Academys theoretical school of thought. He had a large amount of knowledge on theory, while his ability to teach was extremely strong. Even though he was only forty or so years old, he was a highly ranked teacher that was second to none in the outer courtyard.

Obtaining a promotion as a teacher within Shrek Academy was even more difficult than obtaining one as a student. This was extremely obvious, as shown by Zhou Yi only being a middle-ranked teacher. This was naturally related to her terrifying teaching methods. On the other hand, Wang Yan was someone who could become a high-ranked teacher, and was someone who had the qualifications to teach inner courtyard students. From this, it could clearly be seen how strong he was in the field of theoretical knowledge. However, even he couldnt understand what was going on with Huo Yuhaos team, so much so that he couldnt even tell what kind of soul master Huo Yuhao was.

Although theyd finished their assessment for the day, Huo Yuhaos team of three didnt leave. Instead, they stayed behind to observe the other two matches. They waited until the other matches had finished before bidding farewell to Wang Yan.

Wang Yan didnt ask Huo Yuhao anything in the end. He believed that hed definitely see Huo Yuhaos abilities in the following matches.

The first round of the freshmen assessment quickly finished. The purpose of todays assessment was more or less to allow the participating students to adapt to the assessment. However, tomorrows assessment would be much more challenging. The students would have to undergo two rounds of assessments in both the morning and the afternoon, totalling four rounds for the day. The third day, on the other hand, would be even more terrifying: All of the teams that were left would have to undergo five rounds that day, as the duration of the freshmen assessment was only three days long.

This assessment didnt just train students in combat, but also in their ability to fight a prolonged battle.

When the second day of the assessment started, the students from Class 1 began to feel grateful for Teacher Zhou Yi. Fighting four matches in a single day wasnt just a problem of soulforce consumption; the drain on their physical strength was extremely serious as well. After undergoing Zhou Yis hell-like training, the students from Class 1 clearly had a better ability to endure the physical drain from the constant battling than the students from the other classes.

After the match theyd fought on the first day, as well as the observations theyd made afterwards, Huo Yuhao was one-hundred percent certain that there were no opponents in their group capable of threatening them. Other than them, there was only a single student above the twentieth rank of soulforce.

The students from the other teams werent idiots either. Being under such intense conditions, they directly forfeited when they faced Huo Yuhaos team in order to achieve better results later on.

Huo Yuhaos team was in much better condition compared to the exhausted students of the other teams. Huo Yuhaos team of three easily managed to achieve victory in all four of their matches, thereby obtaining a perfect result of five victories in five matches. With these results as a safety net, theyd basically passed the freshmen assessment already. Furthermore, these five victories caused them to be filled with confidence.

On the other hand, Wang Yan felt somewhat depressed as the proctor of the 33rd arena. Five matches had passed, yet Huo Yuhaos team had fought in the exact same way in every matchWang Dong would make move on his own, while Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao would simply sit back and watch. The match would end in a short period of time, causing him to remain mystified as to what abilities Huo Yuhao possessed. As a theory-based teacher, how could he not feel depressed?

Huo Yuhao, you three come over here for a moment. When the second days matches had concluded, Wang Yan called Huo Yuhaos team of three over.

Teacher Wang. Huo Yuhao walked in front, with Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao flanking him.

As I thought. Wang Yan inwardly thought to himself. This Huo Yuhao truly is the core of their team!

You three have obtained an excellent result of five victories in five matches. You must continue to work hard in your future matches, so that you can participate in the ranking tournament for the top sixty-four teams. However, tomorrows five matches wont be nearly as easy as todays were. After todays matches have concluded, well be drawing lots again, while teams whove lost all of their matches will be eliminated. When we draw lots, well make sure that students from the same class wont meet each other, but your previous results will also be brought into consideration. Tomorrow, youll definitely remain in the 33rd arena, but theres a very high chance that youll meet a strong team, or even two, that are capable of challenging you.

Huo Yuhao nodded and replied, Thank you, Teacher Wang. Well definitely work hard.
