Chapter 20: Assessment
"They're here!"
The three of them... Huo Yuhao as the captain—had become very familiar with Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo over the past month, and their relationship was good. After being grouped together and personally experiencing Spiritual Detection Sharing, they were united in their resolve to make Huo Yuhao the captain.
The rules for the New Student Assessment were simple: the only two requirements for student grouping were that a group could only have one Power Attack System member, and the three students could not all belong to the same system.
Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection Sharing could be called the Soul of team control, but calling him a Support System member wasn't wrong either.
In any case, in the list Mu Jin submitted, Huo Yuhao was designated as Support System.
Assessment Area.
Huo Yuhao and his two teammates were assigned to District 27.
"Captain, we're counting on you next."
Lan Susu said with a playful smile.
Lan Luoluo also nodded from Huo Yuhao's other side.
"What are you talking about? You two are both Great Soul Masters and have a secret weapon. You should be the ones carrying me, this little Support System Soul Master, to sweep the competition."
The secret weapon Huo Yuhao referred to was naturally the Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Since they were teammates, they obviously had to be clear about each other's abilities.
But since they were in the Assessment Area, blurting it out would truly be foolish.
"You can't say that! Without the Captain's Spiritual Detection, we wouldn't have the confidence to make it to the Finals!"
"Susu, isn't reaching the Finals a bit too difficult? We can't do that, right?"
Lan Luoluo still looked unconfident.
"Haha."
Laughing twice, Huo Yuhao ruffled Lan Luoluo's long blue hair that reached her hips.
"Don't worry, our goal is the championship."
Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo had vastly different personalities. If he ruffled Lan Susu's hair, she would resist like a kitten throwing a tiny tantrum. But Lan Luoluo was different; at most, she would quietly ask Huo Yuhao to stop ruffling it because her hair would get messy.
But stop ruffling it? Was that possible? It was like a stray kitten with incredibly soft fur—ruffling it was addictive.
Speaking of which, after Huo Yuhao absorbed the golden light spots emanating from the Lan sisters' hair, besides the changes in the illusory Dharma Idol projection in his sea of consciousness, Huo Yuhao also noticed his black short hair growing wildly!
It had grown from short hair to shoulder-length hair.
When trimming it himself, he also discovered that his hair possessed the properties of the Lan sisters' Hair Martial Soul, and after more attempts, he found he could control its growth and shortening.
Combining various attempts and discussions with Electrolux, he finally reached a conclusion.
This was like copying the Lan sisters' Hair Martial Soul. No, because he absorbed the golden light spots of two Hair Martial Souls, in terms of the Martial Soul's inherent strength, Huo Yuhao was slightly stronger than Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo.
Secondly, he couldn't attach Soul Rings to it.
This was a Special Martial Soul attached to the Dharma Idol Martial Soul. Since the Dharma Idol Martial Soul couldn't attach Soul Rings, the attached Special Martial Soul naturally couldn't either.
However, attaching a Special Martial Soul could make the Dharma Idol Martial Soul stronger and more complete.
Moreover, while the attached Special Martial Soul couldn't attach Soul Rings, Electrolux knew quite a few Warrior Martial Skills, and the combat power they unleashed was far stronger than Soul Rings with fixed effects and power.
In a sense, the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul was the Central Core of the Dharma Idol Martial Soul.
Ever since Huo Yuhao awakened his Innate Wisdom, his First Martial Soul was the Dharma Idol Martial Soul. The Spiritual Eye and the hair were merely added 'plugins' to increase combat power.
Only the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul, which he possessed from the start and wasn't copied from other Body Martial Soul Masters, could attach Soul Rings.
This made Huo Yuhao's desire to go to the Body Sect increasingly urgent. As soon as his position in Shrek was established, he would quickly display the elegance of the Spiritual Eye at the All-Continent Youth Soul Master Tournament, which was over a year away.
He didn't believe that Du Busi wouldn't come to bring him back to the Body Sect when he possessed such an obvious Top-Tier Body Martial Soul.
"District 27, Round One, Match Five! New Student Class Nine's Huo Yuhao team and New Student Class Two's Song Qi team, begin the assessment!"
The assessment teacher, with a serious expression, announced.
Both sides entered simultaneously.
Opposite them were three male students.
"Huo Yuhao, Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, please give us your guidance."
"My name is Song Qi, and these are my teammates Ye Ruihe and Zai Yun. Please guide us."
Both sides took their positions, and as the assessment teacher announced, the battle began!
Martial Souls possessed, Soul Rings lit up.
Of the three male students opposite, only Song Qi was a two-ring Battle Soul Master of the Power Attack System. Ye Ruihe and Zai Yun were both one-ring Agility Attack System Soul Masters.
Seeing that the twin blue-haired sisters on Huo Yuhao's team were both two-ring Great Soul Masters, Song Qi's heart sank.
He certainly didn't have the confidence to fight two people at once!
Fortunately, Huo Yuhao, the captain of the opposing team, was only a one-ring Soul Master and didn't look like a Power Attack System Soul Master.
"Ruihe! Zai Yun! Hurry and take down their captain!"
Saying this, Song Qi directly confronted the sweeping strands of hair.
"Okay!"
But in the next instant, the first Soul Rings of the sisters Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo lit up simultaneously.
Hair Net!
The sisters had a telepathic connection, and their first and second Soul skillss were identical. Releasing their Soul skillss simultaneously felt like a Combined Soul skills, greatly increasing its power.
Their utilization of their own hair was already refined through practice since childhood, and with Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection assistance, it was practically flawless.
Watching the overwhelming Hair Net sweep toward him, Song Qi roared, and his first and second Soul skillss lit up successively, yet he couldn't break free from the crystal-clear, slender hair strands. He was like a bird caught in a net, tightening the more he struggled.
He managed a look back and saw that Ye Ruihe and Zai Yun had already been wrapped up like zongzi (rice dumplings).
"Class Nine's Huo Yuhao team wins the match!"
This battle truly lacked any technical complexity; Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo simply swept the opposition.
As for Huo Yuhao, in the eyes of the many spectators, he merely released his Martial Soul, and then his single Soul Ring lit up, and the battle was over.
No one said anything, they just assumed Huo Yuhao was a Support System Soul Master who released an Amplification Soul skills to buff the Lan sisters.
Isn't that how Support System Soul Masters usually operate?
Of course, that was the assumption of most normal people. There were also some abnormal people who claimed Huo Yuhao had no combat ability, relied entirely on the twin sisters to carry him, and was a gigolo.
Under the extremely wide range of Spiritual Detection, no one could speak ill of Huo Yuhao behind his back.
He seriously noted down these people. If he didn't encounter them during the assessment, so be it. But if he did, they should prepare to sleep for a few days—they wouldn't need to participate in the New Student Assessment anymore!
After today's two rounds of assessment, Huo Yuhao only provided Spiritual Detection for the sisters Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, leading to easy victories.
"Wow, it's finally over! Huo Yuhao, how about we go out and grab a big meal?"
"Oh dear, when it's time for the assessment, I'm the Captain, but when it's not, I'm just Huo Yuhao? Susu, you won't get Spiritual Detection tomorrow."
"Ah! No way! Captain, please!"
