NOVEL NEXT Chapter 88: Chapter 88
**Chapter 88**
On the screen, Xiao Xiao's thoughts mirrored those of the soul masters in the gap between the planes.
Before this, although the soul masters were aware that the strength of the parallel Huo Yuhao far exceeded that of the original time and space Huo Yuhao, they had never had a concrete understanding of just how powerful he was.
This was largely because the parallel-world Huo Yuhao had rarely shown his true abilities.
However, seeing Huo Yuhao's impressive display on screen, they were taken aback, unable to contain their widening eyes.
Bibi Dong articulated her thoughts promptly: "Just as I suspected, Huo Yuhao in this parallel world is exceptionally strong."
Qian Renxue, beside her, added, "And his mental power is even more formidable."
"Although the sparring just now was brief, I could distinctly sense his mental prowess."
"Even without reaching three soul rings, I feel his current mental strength is comparable to that of a four-ringed soul master."
"That's quite rare."
Bibi Dong nodded in agreement. "I can feel it too."
"Moreover, his self-created soul skills and techniques are outstanding."
"I must admit, Huo Yuhao in the parallel world is a remarkable genius. If we were the same age, we wouldn't be his match."
Qian Renxue concurred, "Indeed."
The crowd could not help but sigh.
Du Bu Si stroked his beard and muttered to himself, "But if that's the case, Shrek Academy will shout to keep him there."
"With such strength and talent, once showcased in the freshman competition, anyone with eyes will recognize that Huo Yuhao is not the same as he was in the original time and space."
"In such a scenario, will the Huo Yuhao of this parallel world stay at Shrek Academy?"
"This is not what I desire!"
Du Bu Si continued to contemplate.
However, after pondering for a long time, he couldn't devise a plan to prevent it. After all, they couldn't interfere in parallel world matters.
Thus, he could only keep his eyes glued to the screen.
At that moment, on the screen:
[After their discussion, Huo Yuhao and the others gained a better understanding of each other's abilities.]
[They then spent some time establishing simple divisions of labor.]
[Xiao Xiao had initially wanted to devise specific tactics, but Huo Yuhao pointed out that it was unrealistic given their limited time together. Tactics require ongoing collaboration and understanding, which would develop through experience.]
[Huo Yuhao reasoned that simple divisions of labor would serve them better at this stage, suggesting they revisit tactics after more competitions and increased camaraderie.]
[Xiao Xiao found this rationale sound and immediately agreed.]
[Once they completed their basic training and planning, they soon parted ways.]
[Early the next morning, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er awoke early, having breakfast before hurrying back to Shrek Academy.]
[The assessment area of Shrek Academy is located in the north-central part of the Wuhun Department, near the Douhun area.]
[Compared to the fighting spirit area, the assessment area is much larger.]
[For Shrek Academy students, this space is a paradise for high-achieving individuals to showcase their talents, but for those with lower cultivation, it can be a nightmare.]
[Every year, many students are eliminated for failing to pass the assessments, which are mostly conducted in this area.]
[Yesterday, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er had arranged to meet Xiao Xiao in a designated spot within the assessment area.]
[Upon arriving, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er went directly to their meeting place without getting distracted.]
[Not long after, Xiao Xiao arrived.]
[She greeted Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er first.]
[However, since she had not paid close attention in class yesterday, she was unfamiliar with the assessment rules. Thus, she turned to Huo Yuhao, asking, "By the way, Yuhao, do you remember the assessment rules? I seem to have forgotten."]
[Huo Yuhao patiently smiled and explained, "Since today is the first day of the assessment, it's designed to help freshmen adapt. Each group will only have one assessment today."]
["This morning, the college sent fifty teachers to supervise assessments across fifty areas."]
["All the candidates for the assessment competitions have been organized by the teachers from the academy."]
[Xiao Xiao looked a bit confused after hearing this. "Will there be no public draw?"]
[Huo Yuhao smiled reassuringly, "It seems it was deemed too troublesome, but it's not an issue. We're all freshmen; if we lose, we can only blame our lack of skill. Who we're assigned to isn't too significant."]
[After Huo Yuhao spoke, Xiao Xiao's eyes sparkled with a strange admiration. She found Huo Yuhao's confidence appealing.]
[She smiled and nodded in agreement, saying, "You're right!"]
["So, which area are we assigned to?"]
[Huo Yuhao responded, "Area 33. We can head there now."]
[With that, they quickly set off in the direction of Area 33.]
[Upon reaching Area 33, they discovered several other teams were already present.]
[Since they weren't the first to compete, they found a spot to wait while the matches above commenced.]
[The two teams battling were from Freshman Class 1 and Freshman Class 6.]
[After a fierce confrontation, the students from Freshman Class 1 were ultimately defeated.]
[This outcome was not unique to Area 33.]
[Due to Zhou Yi's inadequate teaching and the limited number of students in her class, she was unable to field particularly strong teams.]
[As a result, Freshman Class 1 encountered more losses than victories in this round.]
[At this moment, upon witnessing this, Mu Jin didn't hold back as she mocked, "Teacher Zhou Yi, it seems the students you teach aren't very capable!"]
[Zhou Yi's expression turned frosty upon hearing this, but she understood she couldn't win the argument against Mu Jin right now.]
[Thus, Zhou Yi remained silent, snorting coldly before turning away.]
[However, she didn't walk far before a cruel smile crept across her face. "Even if our class doesn't perform well, I'll make sure you're dragged down with me."]
["Hmph! You can't fathom this, Mu Jin. The teacher managing the draw has a good relationship with me, so under my direction, your class's students will face extremely strong opponents."]
["Especially the top team in your class, the one with Huo Yuhao."]
["In the first round, you will compete against Ning Tian's team. I'm eager to see how you fare!"]
