Chapter 119 The Final Preparations
Nothing happened that night. After finishing his daily morning exercise at dawn, Long You obediently went to Fan Yu's new office to report for duty.
The demonstration of the battle armor was nothing new. Given the advanced technology of the battle armor, which could be described as an artificial soul bone, Long You successfully obtained the opportunity to modify the data of the Panlong Realm model.
With five days remaining before the official opening of the Panlong Realm, Long You didn't continue grinding away at the remaining battle armor parts. Instead, he planned to take a break. For example, he could check on Huo Yuhao's performance in the freshman ranking competition.
However, it's unclear whether Long You's luck has been a bit off lately. He excitedly rushed over to watch the match, only to witness Huo Yuhao's trio suffer a defeat in their very first game.
Logically speaking, with Huo Yuhao's trio, currently consisting of a top-tier support (primarily a support), a top-tier defense, and a first-rate attacker, even if they have a weakness in movement speed, shouldn't they still be able to make it into the top 16 of Sweetness?
But luck really does play a role. Huo Yuhao encountered Wang Dong, the female lead he was originally "destined" to be with. This time, Wang Dong teamed up with the twin sisters who used their hair as their martial soul and could perform martial soul fusion techniques.
If we're talking about relying solely on Wang Dong, even though the Goddess of Light Butterfly is very powerful, with Huo Yuhao's Spirit Detection Sharing Soul Skill, Xiao Xiao can easily achieve complete defense, and even directly kite Wang Dong.
However, with the addition of two sisters with control abilities, Huo Yuhao's group's weaknesses in mobility and anti-control capabilities have been exposed.
At first, the chubby boy was able to withstand the crystalline blue hair strands that kept surging towards his position thanks to the advantage of the opposing attributes of his martial soul. However, after the Lan sisters unleashed their martial soul fusion skill, the chubby boy's speed in setting off fire could not keep up with the speed at which the hair strands were gathering.
When Xiao Xiao had no choice but to use the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron to fight against the Lan sisters' Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Wang Dong's deep purple second Soul Ring drew a fatal arc and struck straight at Huo Yuhao's group of three through the gap left by the Lan sisters.
Failure, an undeniable failure.
Without using a soul tool, Huo Yuhao, who has no decent means of attack or defense, is unable to help himself or his teammates withstand such an extremely sharp attack.
Wang Dong, who has changed back into her female form—oh, no, she should be called Wang Dong'er now—has changed back into her female attire.
Wang Dong'er didn't say anything to the defeated Huo Yuhao. Regardless of whether she had forgotten the incident at the beginning of the semester, she certainly showed the demeanor of a victor.
However, Huo Yuhao couldn't help feeling down. Just a moment ago, facing that blade of light that was heading straight for him, Huo Yuhao clearly felt helpless and clearly perceived his own weakness.
[I want to become stronger. Brother Tianmeng, let's go find my second martial soul as soon as the holiday starts. I'm fed up with this feeling of powerlessness.]
After meeting Long You and entering Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao was often called a weakling, but he never stopped trying. However, as his value was recognized and the trio easily won one freshman competition after another with his help, Huo Yuhao began to get arrogant.
This doesn't mean Huo Yuhao stopped trying, but rather that he gradually stopped seeing himself as a weakling, and he began to forget the pain of helplessness he had felt in the past.
But just now, facing Wang Dong'er's soul skill, the old pain returned. Huo Yuhao regained his senses and realized the flaws in his martial soul's combat capabilities, which made him pay even more attention to his soul mastery skills.
The children lost, lost in a match where it was either win or go home, so they had to go home. Their dejection was palpable; no one expected them to encounter a Martial Soul Fusion Skill that countered them, and no one expected their first defeat in the freshman competition to occur so early in the ranking matches.
However, in times like these, they can only rely on themselves. Only by relying on their own abilities to get back on their feet can they have a wider space for advancement.
After secretly following the three children for a while, and seeing that although they were silent, they did not seem to have lost their spirits, Long You turned around and left.
Although it was an unintentional mistake yesterday, I should still prepare a proper apology for the sparring partner I brought in who was so badly injured.
Time passed quietly, and the freshman competition came to a complete end. This year's freshman champion was the team led by Dai Huabin, the second son of the White Tiger Duke. Neither Wang Dong'er nor the team led by another defensive Soul Master had the ability to withstand the Netherworld White Tiger Martial Soul Fusion Technique.
Long You couldn't know how angry Huo Yuhao was seeing Dai Huabin standing arrogantly in the champion's seat, but he did know that Qian Duoduo, the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department, was very happy.
Because his Soul Guidance Department will be recruiting two more genius Soul Guidance Master students. That's right, I'm talking about Huo Yuhao and the chubby Song He.
Because Huo Yuhao's group was eliminated in the first round of the ranking competition, both Huo Yuhao and the chubby Song He were ignored by the Martial Soul system.
In the entire team, only Xiao Xiao, who revealed her twin martial souls when facing the Lan sisters' martial soul fusion skill, earned the position of a core disciple in the martial soul system. The other two didn't even get the status of temporary core disciples, let alone core disciples.
It's impossible not to be disappointed. However, considering their team's performance, Huo Yuhao and the chubby boy were disappointed, but not entirely unable to accept it.
After sincerely congratulating Xiao Xiao, the two were about to return to their new classroom, as their surprise had arrived.
Qian Duoduo announced the special recruitment of two people to the Soul Guidance Department, and in accordance with the previous agreement between Huo Yuhao and Fan Yu, Huo Yuhao was given the status of a core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department, and Xiaopangzi was given the status of a temporary core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department.
(This chubby kid has been training with Lin Zhengze for a few days and has developed some talent. He's not quite up to the standard of a core disciple yet, but since the Martial Soul Department doesn't value him, Qian Duoduo doesn't mind investing some resources to nurture him.)
Sweeping away their previous disappointment and frustration, Huo Yuhao and his companion followed Qian Duoduo to the Soul Guidance Department, where they saw Lin Zhengze, He Caitou, and Long You waiting for them at the entrance.
The Panlong Realm is about to open. As the three of them, and as Huo Yuhao's direct senior brothers, we must upload their body data and create models within today's time limit, and prepare suitable Panlong outfits for them.
The data upload was handed over to He Caitou, Lin Zhengze was responsible for finding the excess Panlong sets in the Soul Guidance System's reserves, and Long You was responsible for modifying the details of the Panlong sets.
