*****
In the year 2034 of Tian Soul Empire's history, Fan Long advanced to become a Title Douluo, with four officially recognized Titled Douluo and an army of 400,000.
In the Star Luo Empire, there were six officially recognized Titled Douluo and an army of 600,000. They were engaged in small-scale conflicts with the Sun Moon Empire.
...
As for the Extreme Martial Families, the Feng Clan and the Huo Clan had no news, and no one from these families had been found entering the world.
Shui Wuya didn't pay much attention to these matters. With his changes, these things would change anytime, but they were useless.
Take it slow; he believed that one day he would truly become a big shot!
Inside the Beast Arena, Huo Yuhao stood in the middle, the square vast and empty.
Unlike the entrance exam for new students, the upgrade assessment didn't involve fights between students but battles against soul beasts.
Students could choose the age of the soul beasts they wanted to challenge.
It wasn't necessary to defeat the soul beasts. Depending on the student's main direction of study, the assessment criteria varied.
"First class, Huo Yuhao."
The teacher in the Beast Arena glanced at Huo Yuhao; he had heard of this student.
Although his first soul ring was only ten years, he still obtained the status of core disciple due to his outstanding performance in the entrance exam.
"You can choose a soul beast between one hundred to one thousand years. Since you're a control-type, you should focus on demonstrating your control abilities. How many years do you choose for the soul beast?"
After briefly explaining the rules, the teacher looked at Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao smiled confidently. "Teacher, I choose a hundred years."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole arena erupted in a commotion.
Choosing different age soul beasts would result in different scores, with higher-age soul beasts yielding more points.
A hundred-year soul beast would definitely have the lowest score!
He was a core disciple from the outer court!
The teachers on the field doubted if they had misheard. "Are you sure you want to choose a hundred years?"
Even Wang Yan outside widened his eyes, but he couldn't interfere with Huo Yuhao's choice now.
"It's fine, it's fine. When Shui Wuya comes back later, it will be very easy for him to challenge a thousand-year soul beast and score a lot of points." Wang Yan comforted himself this way.
"Teacher Wang." Shui Wuya's voice appeared beside Wang Yan.
"You're back?" He turned his head, feeling relieved.
Shui Wuya's gaze focused on Huo Yuhao below.
The gates of the Beast Arena had already opened, and a hundred-year soul beast slowly walked out, locking its gaze onto its prey, which was Huo Yuhao.
Although it was only a hundred-year soul beast, it still shocked many students present.
After all, even though their first soul rings were all a hundred years old, they were obtained by family members or elders helping them to kill soul beasts. No student had ever relied on themselves to kill a soul beast to obtain a soul ring.
Roar!
The soul beast roared angrily at Huo Yuhao.
The situation reversed in the next moment.
Underneath Huo Yuhao's feet, two blood-red soul rings suddenly rose!
Above the blood-red rings were two circles of golden patterns!
Accompanying the appearance of the soul rings was a savage aura and a hidden powerful pressure!
The hundred-year soul beast whimpered, frightened, and collapsed on the ground.
Mission accomplished, the soul rings on Huo Yuhao's body disappeared instantly.
The teachers on the sidelines were dumbfounded.
"Teacher, how many points can I get for this performance?" Seeing the shocked expressions on the faces of the nearby teachers, Huo Yuhao was very satisfied.
In an instant, another teacher came forward and grabbed Huo Yuhao's hands directly.
At this moment, a burst of extreme cold erupted from within Huo Yuhao's body, unexpectedly affecting the teacher in turn.
"How do you have two hundred-thousand-year soul rings?" The teacher's gaze was firmly fixed on Huo Yuhao.
No one had ever had hundred-thousand-year soul rings for their first and second soul rings; it was impossible even for ten-thousand-year soul rings, unless it was for an additional second martial soul.
"Teacher, don't worry, this is because of the special effects of my soul rings."
"Wuya, how does he have two hundred-thousand-year soul rings? Is his soul the same as mine?" Octagon's voice appeared in Shui Wuya's mind.
"There's a lazy bug inside him." The lazy voice of the Ice Emperor followed immediately after.
"How could his second soul ring's soul skill be a simulation?" Shui Wuya briefly explained.
"Humph, detestable bug." The Ice Emperor felt an inexplicable disgust towards the aura of the Tianmenf Iceworm.
The Ice Silkworm Clan was the food of the Ice Emperor Clan; naturally, she was extremely familiar with it. Octagon was extremely surprised; he hadn't expected such a miraculous soul skill.
In the audience, the teachers were also shocked by Huo Yuhao's performance.
There was no doubt that Huo Yuhao had passed the exam with full marks.
Although he chose only a hundred-year soul beast, the performance was astonishing.
"Tianmeng Iceworms have a million years. Although this guy is useless, it has to be said that it has the highest soul age among all soul beasts." The Ice Emperor continued.
"Tianmeng Iceworm also count as million-year soul beasts? I'm afraid even a two-hundred-thousand-year soul beast wouldn't be able to beat it. It's only worthy of being called a million-year natural treasure." Shui Wuya couldn't help but smile. "I hope I'll surpass it in the future."
The Ice Emperor continued to slumber.
If it weren't for encountering the Ice God, the Ice Emperor would have had only one choice to survive for four hundred thousand years, and that was to devour the Tianmeng Iceworm.
Shui Wuya didn't continue the conversation.
After several students from other classes had finished their tests, it was Shui Wuya's turn.
"It's your turn, Shui Wuya," Wang Yan reminded.
"I know. However, if I perform too well, will I be punished?" Before stepping onto the field, Shui Wuya turned back and asked calmly.
This sentence left Wang Yan puzzled. Why would he be punished for performing well?
"Don't worry, as long as you don't violate the rules and perform well, the academy will only value you more." Although Wang Yan didn't understand why Shui Wuya said this, he still reassured him.
As he stepped onto the field, the referee teacher had recovered from the shock caused by Huo Yuhao.
"What year of soul beast do you choose? A thousand years?" The teacher knew Shui Wuya's strength; ordinary hundred-year soul beasts should be easy for him to deal with.
"Yes, a thousand years."
The teacher showed a confirming expression.
Soon, a large tiger-like soul beast walked into the arena.
With green eyes, it stared fixedly at Shui Wuya. All it thought about was eating Shui Wu Ya to fill its stomach.
"Be careful." The referee teacher reminded, then quickly left the field, leaving Shui Wuya alone in the center.
"Teacher Wang, I really envy your class. With a genius like Shui Wuya, I'm afraid that with his current strength, it wouldn't be difficult for him to single-handedly kill a thousand-year soul beast, right?"
"Yes, it's really enviable, passing the assessment while lying down." Teachers from other classes were full of envy towards Wang Yan.
In the arena, the tiger-like soul beast launched an attack on Shui Wuya.
Its huge body pounced towards Shui Wu Ya.
Just as everyone was curious about how Shui Wuya would deal with this thousand-year soul beast.
Yellow, yellow, purple, red!
Four soul rings rose from under Shui Wuya's feet. The fourth soul ring, instead of being purple or black, was a stunning crimson!
A surge of pressure emanated from Shui Wuya's body. The tiger whimpered in fear, instantly scared stiff and collapsed to the ground!
