Douluo Peerless: Eye of Truth

Ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel. Before Xiao Xiao had a chance to show herself, she was pinned to the ground by Huo Yuhao, who didn't even use any hidden weapons.

After all, although the San Sheng Zhenhun Cauldron can be regarded as a top-notch weapon spirit, Xiao Xiao has indeed worked hard in the training of the spirit.

However, with the help of the Eye of Truth, Huo Yuhao could easily judge Xiao Xiao's every thought in the battle, and avoid the attack of Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron like a prophet. After getting close, he relied on the help of the Eye of Truth.

Huo Yuhao knocked Xiao Xiao to the ground with three punches and two kicks, and she couldn't get up again.

Until he was knocked to the ground by Huo Yuhao, Xiao Xiao was still in a state of confusion, with tears all over his face.

Who am I, where am I, and what happened?
"Why, are you convinced? Do you want to try again?" Huo Yuhao smiled as he looked at Xiao Xiao who had fallen to the ground. He stretched out his hand and pulled her up again.

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao curled her lips and straightened her clothes. She was not stupid. Looking at Huo Yuhao's calm expression, it was obvious that he had not yet used his full strength. She did not want to make a fool of herself any further.

“Okay, let’s disband here. Go back and take some time to rest and prepare for the afternoon exam.” Huo Yuhao said with a yawn.

Just like that, time soon came to the afternoon, and Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao also arrived at the assessment area of ​​Shrek Academy.

“By the way, the next opponents shouldn’t be that strong. You two should hold back and try to buy time as much as possible. If anything unexpected happens, I will take action.” Huo Yuhao instructed Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao.

After all, the competition is a great opportunity for Huo Yuhao to spy on other people's soul skills. Huo Yuhao naturally has to seize the opportunity to give his opponents more opportunities to perform, so that he can have more soul skill information to analyze.

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were both somewhat puzzled and looked at Huo Yuhao with doubts.

“Except for the freshman enrollment and sparring at home, you have had a few serious fights. To put it bluntly, the freshman assessment is just a fight between noobs. Accumulating more experience will help you become stronger in the future.” Huo Yuhao casually made up a reason.

But in reality, becoming stronger is not as simple as Huo Yuhao said. Practical experience is certainly part of it, but more importantly, it requires an in-depth analysis of your own abilities and the enemy's abilities, and ultimately competing against each other's strengths and weaknesses.

This is the real way for the weak to defeat the strong, or for the strong to ensure that they will not fall into the ditch due to carelessness.

Sufficient practical experience can only enable a soul master to develop a certain degree of combat instinct so that he will not be at a loss when faced with unexpected situations. However, if he is not good at summarizing experience, he will not be much stronger in the end.

Soon, as they officially entered the assessment area, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao were ready to face the only group of opponents in today's warm-up match.

There were a total of 306 groups of students participating in the freshman assessment this time, with a total of 918 people. In the end, only 150 of them were able to stay.

"All freshmen, please note that all freshmen, please enter the assessment area immediately and prepare to take the freshman assessment."

Following the broadcast and with different feelings in mind, most of the students nervously walked into the assessment area to face their opponents this time.

Huo Yuhao and his companions were taking the test in District 33, which had a total of six groups of students.

A male teacher in his forties with ordinary looks smiled at everyone and said, "Now that all the students are here, let me introduce myself. I am your assessment teacher. My name is Wang Yan, and I will also be your assessment teacher for the next two days."

Skipping the pleasantries, Wang Yan began to arrange for the first group of students to take the test.

"First round, first test. Freshman class one: Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao, Xiao Xiao. Freshman class three: Ouyang Junyi, Chen Junfeng, Zhao Haochen."

"You can enter now, each of you will play a role. You can release your martial spirits only after I say the match begins. Enter now."

The fat boy named Zhao Haochen from Class 3 of the freshman class looked much uglier when he heard his opponent, and he quickly introduced him to his two teammates.

"Oh my god, we got off to a bad start. The two guys opposite us were so talented that they made the seniors who were taking the assessment look miserable during the enrollment. I guess there's no hope this time. Let's try to perform better."

"Go away, stop talking nonsense. We can only know who is stronger and who is weaker after a fight."

"That's right, they are strong, and we are not weak either. It's still unclear who will win!"

Soon, both sides took their positions according to their respective formations.

Huo Yuhao's side was naturally led by Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao was located between Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao.

The other party stood closer to Ouyang Junyi and Chen Junfeng, protecting the fat boy Zhao Haochen.

After seeing both parties adjust their positions, Wang Yan said, "The assessment begins."

Both sides released their martial spirits at the first opportunity, and Huo Yuhao took the first step. He flicked the Twenty-Four Bridges in the Moonlight on his waist, and three locust stones hit the other three people respectively.

Wang Dong simply spread the wings of the Goddess of Light Butterfly and rushed towards the three people opposite.

Three large black tripods also floated in front of Xiaoxiao, ready for battle.

Just as Zhao Haochen was still thinking about reciting his soul skill spell, a locust stone hit his throat.

Although the locust stone was not very lethal, the attack made the fat man swallow his words again.

Also hit at the same time were Ouyang Junyi and Chen Junfeng, who were about to reach out to catch the chicken leg. Because they were distracted by wanting to take the fat man's chicken leg, their mouths were also hit by the locust stones thrown by Huo Yuhao.

Bleeding started all of a sudden and the wound started to swell up rapidly.

Seeing the little fat boy unable to speak for a moment and feeling the pain in his mouth, Ouyang Junyi and Chen Junfeng became angry all of a sudden. They didn't even bother to wait for the little fat boy's big chicken leg support, and each used their own soul skills to rush towards Wang Dong.

"Interesting, a special recruit of the Tang Sect?" Wang Yan couldn't help but pay more attention to Huo Yuhao.

"He is quite skilled in using hidden weapons, but what is his martial soul? Judging from the appearance of his soul rings, it means that he has already used his soul skills. Is it an amplification soul skill?"  

At this time, Ouyang Junyi and Chen Junfeng, two agility attack soul masters, rushed towards Wang Dong with anger, but anger could not make up for the gap in strength.

In terms of hard power, the gap between them and Wang Dong is still too big.

Moreover, with the support of Huo Yuhao from behind, hidden weapons flew out from various blind spots. In order to avoid these hidden weapons or suffer less damage, the two agility attack spirit masters had to slow down their pace.

This also gave Wang Dong an opportunity. He used his first soul skill, Winged Guillotine, to attack the two of them separately. At the same time, Huo Yuhao threw out two more hidden weapons.

Facing Wang Dong's attack, Ouyang Junyi made a prompt decision and activated his first soul skill. The sword-shaped spikes on his right arm transformed into dozens of light and shadows and attacked Wang Dong.

Chen Junfeng on the side also activated his first soul skill at the same time, and the short sword in his hand slashed out with a sword light, ready to chop towards Wang Dong.

But at this moment, two hidden weapons came from nowhere and hit their wrists. Then, because of the pain, the soul skills they launched were deformed and passed by Wang Dong's body without causing any substantial damage.

"Okay, these two are both first-ring soul masters, there's nothing to see, but the first soul skill of this hummingbird soul master is pretty good." Huo Yuhao's eyes lightened, and he said directly to Wang Dong: "Okay, deal with them."

Wang Dong did not hesitate when he heard that. As the Winged Guillotine slashed down, Xiao Xiao's San Sheng Soul-Suppressing Cauldron also followed. With circles of soul power shaking, the two agile attack soul masters collapsed to the ground powerlessly.

Seeing this, Wang Yan didn't hesitate and announced directly: "Team Wang Dong of Class 1 won the game."

Afterwards, Wang Yan couldn't help but feel emotional when looking at Huo Yuhao and the other two. The hidden weapons were worthy of being used by the Tang Sect, which was once famous in the mainland. They were indeed very ingenious and had a great advantage in the battles between low-level spirit masters.

"It's a pity that the world has changed. As time goes by, the gap between hidden weapons and soul guides will become wider. This is also the reason for the decline of the Tang Sect. However, this child seems to have good insight. He can always predict the enemy's moves and hit the vital points directly."

"We'll see later. This team should be Zhou Yi's trump card. But it is true that among the soul masters and great soul masters, hidden weapons are still very useful. It's just that their use is too difficult and few people are specially trained."

"And this kid seems familiar. Oh, by the way, I seem to have seen him in the library these past few months. Does he like to read books while practicing? Not bad, not bad."

Huo Yuhao and the other two did not leave immediately after the assessment, but watched the other two games separately. Then Huo Yuhao said to Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao.

"We have almost acquired enough intelligence. The next battle is meaningless, so let's make it quick and decisive."

Looking at Huo Yuhao who went back on his words, Wang Dong didn’t know how to scold him for a moment: “You, you, you, didn’t you just tell us that we need to gain combat experience?”

"I was wrong, I was wrong. It's just a competition of this level. It's totally unnecessary. I'm going to go back to sleep first." Huo Yuhao fled away, and Wang Dong chased after him all the way.

"Well, I've seen enough. Let's go back and try out the newly recorded spirit skills by splitting them up and combining them." Huo Yuhao thought as he ran. As for going back on his words? This is called improvisation!

There were a total of four matches on the second day, each competing against the other four teams in the same zone. However, with the suppression of the two great soul masters, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, and the tricky cooperation of Huo Yuhao, they easily won all four battles.

Wang Yan's eyes became more and more passionate as he looked at Huo Yuhao from the sidelines. "Interesting, very interesting. Could this martial soul be the martial soul of the original body?"

When Huo Yuhao activated his spiritual eyes, only his eyes changed. As Wang Yan was an examiner who had watched five games, he was not blind and could still notice such obvious changes.

"The main body spirit does not have obvious advantages when the spirit power level is low, but Huo Yuhao actually used his spirit in conjunction with hidden weapons. This way, he can at least guarantee sufficient combat power in the first thirty levels. Not bad, not bad, very thoughtful."

After all, for most soul masters, the only thing they trust is their own body and soul skills. Using hidden weapons or soul guides is despised by soul masters.

However, since Wang Yan does not have a high talent for cultivation and specializes in theory, what he wants most is to become a theoretical 'master' like Yu Xiaogang ten thousand years ago.

Now seeing Huo Yuhao using hidden weapons, he suddenly felt like Yu Xiaogang meeting Tang San ten thousand years ago.

"It's just a pity. His original spirit seems to be good in all aspects. He should be valued in the academy. I'm afraid it's not my turn to teach him in all aspects."

"But I have never seen the original martial spirit before. It would be great if I had the chance to study it."

Just like that, Huo Yuhao was remembered by Wang Yan without knowing it. After all, from Wang Yan’s fiery eyes, Huo Yuhao knew what he was thinking even without opening his Eye of Truth.

"It doesn't matter. If you become a core disciple, you will be able to obtain more resources."

"Besides, we have no way to get out of this situation under the watchful eyes of Tang Buddha. We can only seize the resources we can. Now we should wait for the right moment until Tang Buddha relaxes his vigilance or Electrolux wakes up."

Soon, the third day of competition began, and this time Huo Yuhao and his team were facing a pair of sisters whose martial spirits were their hair, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, as well as the strong attacking soul master Huang Chutian.

"Hair spirits. This is also a type of spirit that belongs to the body. Can I use it to transform my body?"

'After all, I can also peek into the composition of martial souls, and the martial soul of the body is different from the ordinary beast martial soul or weapon martial soul. Can I artificially modify my own blood power and soul power composition to make it compatible and complement my own martial soul?'

"How about turning my martial spirit into a true 'body' martial spirit?" Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but become more interested.

Wang Yan announced: "Okay, the members of both teams have arrived. Since Wang Dong's team achieved the best results in this area in the first five rounds, they will be the seeded team in this area."

"According to the order of the competition, they will also be the first to compete. The first match of the sixth round of District 33, Wang Dong's team from Freshman Class 1 will compete against Huang Chutian's team from Freshman Class 7. Get ready to start!"

After the two sides exchanged their names, they stood in their respective positions. The order of Huo Yuhao's side remained unchanged, as before.

On the other side, Huang Chutian stood at the front, with Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo behind him.

Seeing that both sides had taken their positions, Wang Yan announced, "The game begins!"

With both sides possessing their martial spirits, the battle was about to break out. Huo Yuhao did not throw his hidden weapon right from the start as he had done before, but waited and watched.
