Douluo 2: The sickly sister is the group's favorite

Chapter 19 Freshman Assessment
The assessment area of Shrek Academy is not like the battle arena in the fighting spirit area, but a huge open space with a circle of relatively low walls on the outside and high walls on the inside that serve as partitions.

Similar to a mechanism design, the high walls can be disassembled and moved to change the size and shape of the venue.

The entire assessment area is approximately 20,000 square meters and is currently divided into 50 areas. There are a total of 300 groups of freshmen, averaging six groups per area.

The same region will first conduct a round-robin system. After all teams have completed their turns playing against the other five groups in the same region, the top 64 teams will enter the knockout stage.

Huo Yuxi and the other two were assigned to Area 21, while Huo Yuhao and the others were assigned to Area 33.

There were still ten minutes left before the assessment, and Huo Yuxi and the other two followed the area signs to their respective assessment areas.

A woman with a striking demeanor stood at the front. After seeing everyone present, she said, "Hello everyone, I'm your invigilator for the next two days."

"Hello, teacher." The students bowed formally.

The woman nodded and continued, "There are six groups of eighteen people in District 21. Now that everyone is here, let me explain the rules to you."

"The assessment is conducted in groups of three, and the groups will fight each other in a round-robin format. During the battle, the use of soul guides is not allowed, but there are no restrictions on other weapons."

"The assessment requires everyone to give their all, but you must not intentionally injure anyone. Otherwise, even if you win, you will be deemed a loser. In more serious cases, you will face punishment from the academy. So don't try to cut corners. Is everyone clear?"

Although they were only eleven or twelve years old, none of them were stupid. They naturally knew the pros and cons of it and nodded in response.

"Alright, everyone only has one match today, so let's get started quickly and finish early so we can go back and rest early and replenish our energy for tomorrow's game."

The invigilator opened the booklet in his hand. "First round, first match: Freshman Class 1: Huo Yuxi, Lu Wanwan, Luo Ling versus Freshman Class 6: Su Boren, Chen Jiaojiao, Chi Shaoxuan."

The first group had both good and bad days. The good thing was that we could go back and rest early as the teacher said. The bad thing was that we were all freshmen and had no preparation, so we seemed to be restrained from the moment we went on stage.

Huo Yuxi didn’t care much about it. He had to go on the court anyway, and today’s opponent was also going on the court for the first time. They would probably choose to conserve their strength, and he wouldn’t be able to observe anything. It would be better to go on the court early and finish quickly.

She exchanged a glance with Lu Wanwan and Luo Ling, and took the lead in stepping forward with the Soul-Eating Spider in her arms, standing in the southeast corner. Lu Wanwan stood behind her, and Luo Ling and Huo Yuxi stood parallel to each other, forming a right triangle.

The students from Class 6 followed closely behind. Su Boren, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, stood at the back, Chi Shaoxuan stood in the middle, and Chen Jiaojiao was at the front, forming a snake-like formation.

After both parties were ready, the invigilator said, "The test begins," and then left the venue.

Both sides activated their martial spirits. As expected, everyone was shocked the moment Huo Yuxi's spirit ring appeared.

She looked the youngest in the whole place. Before she activated her martial spirit, no one took them seriously. No one expected that their configurations were so high, two with two rings and one with three rings.

The students on the opposite side became extremely alert after seeing the martial spirits of the three. The one with the highest spirit power in their group was Chi Shaoxuan, with a spirit power of level 25, Chen Jiaojiao was at level 23, and Su Boren was at level 19.

Originally, they were also the seed team of Class 6, but after comparison, they seemed not as good as they used to be. Huo Yuxi and the others did not let down their guard either. After all, a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit.

"First soul skill, wolf tooth hammer."

Chen Jiaojiao looks petite, but unexpectedly her martial spirit is a mace. The yellow spirit ring lights up, and she holds the handle with both hands and jumps up from where she is.

Her target is Lu Wanwan. Huanyun Linglu is a typical auxiliary beast martial spirit. The first thing she has to do when she goes on the field is to kill the opponent's auxiliary spirit master. This is the unwritten order on the field.

Huo Yuxi and the others knew this, of course, but Lu Wanwan was not an ordinary auxiliary soul master. If her level was higher, there might be a chance of winning, but now most of them were only at one or two rings, so there was no need to worry at all.

Facing the first game, the three of them had discussed that if the level difference was big, Luo Ling would be the main attacker and Huo Yuxi would try to retain his strength.

The further you go in the game, the harder it is to win. You should keep your trump cards if you can. Otherwise, if they are exposed now, the opponent will make a targeted strategy and you will definitely lose the game. As she was performing her soul skills, Lu Wanwan also moved, "First soul skill, step by step."

The spirit deer ran around Lu Wanwan, and white lotuses appeared with its footsteps, rising into the air and arranged irregularly in front of Chen Jiaojiao.

Chen Jiaojiao felt that her speed slowed down a little, but she didn't care much. Her soul power level had reached level 23, and she was also a strong attack soul master. Lu Wanwan was an auxiliary soul master who was two levels lower than her. That attack was undoubtedly like an egg against a rock for her.

At the age of eleven or twelve, I didn’t have any complicated thoughts. I just knew that I wanted to win and become a champion, and I was full of energy.

With a slight force on her wrist, Chen Jiaojiao's mace hit the lotuses.

"Bang! Boom!"

Explosions rang out one after another, and Chen Jiaojiao was caught off guard. Su Boren, who was standing there to control the situation for them, narrowed his eyes and stepped forward to catch the person.

A page of the book flew out, blocking other attacks, and then floated towards Huo Yuxi.

Chen Jiaojiao's group is also one of the most talented in Class 6. They occupy one of the six seeded teams, which is enough to show their strength.

Huo Yuxi didn't know the specific skills of the book page, so she quickly dodged the attack, but it was like a dog-skin plaster that she couldn't get rid of. It kept sticking to her and didn't give her any chance to use her soul skills.

On Luo Ling's side, Chi Shaoxuan's martial soul is a short blade, which takes the route of agile attack and is good at close combat. She is a long-range attack soul master, and being close to her is not a good thing for her.

However, Chi Shaoxuan was too fast, so she was forced to fight back. Fortunately, in order to make up for her shortcomings in close combat, her family had given her special training.

In addition, the gap between them is not too big below level 30, so the two could not tell the winner for a while.

Chen Jiaojiao took advantage of the fact that there was no one around Lu Wanwan and intensified her offensive, hoping to eliminate Lu Wanwan first.

The students who were watching the game were all extremely focused. After all, they would have to face them later, so the more they discovered now, the better they would have a strategy to deal with them when the time came.

"That three-ringed spirit master hasn't used his spirit skills yet. Is their group that powerful?"

"This is only the first match, everyone will definitely hold back. Plus, their team has such a high level of preparation, they're probably a top seeded team. How could they possibly go all out right from the start?"

...

Time passed slowly, Chen Jiaojiao tightened her grip on the mace, and fire ignited in her eyes. After so long, she still hadn't defeated a single auxiliary spirit master.

She has been praised as a genius since she was a child, and this is the first time she has felt so frustrated during a fight.

Huo Yuxi realized that Lu Wanwan could not hold on for too long, so he quickly turned around and ran to the outer circle. After getting away from the pages of the book to a certain distance, he quickly released his soul skills.

"Second soul skill, throat-strangling rage."

The moment she unleashed her soul skill, Su Boren and the other two clearly felt their soul power consumption doubled and their speed slowed down.

"Second soul skill, Drowning Water."

Luo Ling also took the opportunity to release a group attack skill, and the sea water with waves of pressure flowed quietly on the stage. The invigilator opened the protective device in time and isolated all the attacks within the protective shield.
