Douluo: Crossing the Yuhao Star Palace Master

Chapter 58 Trump Card
After hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Wang Dong suddenly remembered the day when he met the red-clothed masked man at Seagod Lake. Huo Yuhao had spread his icy blue wings. Could it be that...
Xiao Xiao, however, knew nothing and became even more curious after Huo Yuhao said this.

"Yuhao! Tell the truth! What secrets are you hiding?" Xiao Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked at Huo Yuhao with some evil intentions.

Huo Yuhao, who was walking a tightrope in the simulation, dared not continue to hide it. He immediately grasped Xiao Xiao's small hand and grabbed Wang Dong's hand at the same time.

Under the puzzled gazes of the two, Huo Yuhao slightly activated his second martial soul, Ice Chimera.

A trace of extremely cold air flowed through Huo Yuhao's hands and into Xiao Xiao and Wang Dongdi's bodies, causing them to shiver instantly.

Wang Dong had a premonition and did not react much. Instead, he was a little happy because Huo Yuhao suddenly grabbed his hand. The only flaw was that Huo Yuhao was still holding Xiao Xiao's hand.
Xiao Xiao looked at Huo Yuhao in surprise. Under the cover of the simulation, she once again leaned close to Huo Yuhao's ear and blew gently into his cochlea. With a hint of devilishness in her voice, she said in a thin, mosquito-like voice, "Is it the second martial spirit?"

With his spear erect and his blood boiling, Huo Yuhao wavered between trying to hold himself together and failing to hold himself together, barely maintaining his composure. He feigned composure and replied, "Yes, it's the second martial soul. An ice martial soul of ultimate attributes."

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong immediately understood why the red-masked man suddenly fell down. Was it because of attribute suppression?

Xiao Xiao secretly squeezed Huo Yuhao's hand, revealing a sly smile. She said, "An Ice Martial Spirit with ultimate attributes? You hid it so well. Now you've completely outclassed me. You have to compensate me!"

Wang Dong heard this and immediately became jealous. He glared at Xiao Xiao, squeezed Huo Yuhao's hand fiercely, and said, "You need compensation! And I want my share!"

Xiao Xiao pouted, glanced at Wang Dong with a nonchalant and somewhat provocative look, and snorted softly in response.

Huo Yuhao saw the tense situation between the two sides and used simulation to cover up the situation. If Wang Dong really saw it, he would not be able to rest in peace today.
"How about this, after I pass the Level 2 Soul Master exam, I'll make a soul guide for each of you, okay?"

Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up and she immediately agreed, "I want a turquoise one. You can help me choose the type of soul guide, but the color must be turquoise!"

After Wang Dong had come into contact with the soul guide device that could record images, he was not as disgusted with it as he was at the beginning. Seeing that Xiao Xiao made a request so quickly, he naturally would not refuse.

"Powder blue, preferably non-aggressive."

Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief, quickly agreed, and kept their requests in mind.

Afterwards, Huo Yuhao stared blankly at the blue sky, was silent for a while, and then expressed some of his personal requests.

"Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao. My opponents in tomorrow's finals are Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and Cui Yajie. Of these three, I have some personal grudges against Dai Huabin, who comes from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. Tomorrow, I hope you can let me go and let me do it on my own."

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were stunned. They didn't expect Huo Yuhao to suddenly say such a thing, especially about the personal grudge between him and Dai Huabin, who was from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

After a brief silence, Wang Dong took the lead in asking, "What's your personal grudge? Well, if you don't feel comfortable talking about it, forget it."

Huo Yuhao let out a long sigh, suppressing all the hatred and anger in his heart. He forced a smile and said, "It's really not convenient to talk about it. Can I talk about it later?"

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao looked at Huo Yuhao with some concern, then nodded gently, agreeing to his request. Xiao Xiao held her breath for a moment before saying, somewhat worriedly, "Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu are from the Duke of White Tiger and the Duke of Netherworld respectively. There's a good chance they possess a hidden soul fusion technique."

Before Xiao Xiao could finish her words, Huo Yuhao held her hand and moved it gently. Xiao Xiao stopped talking in some confusion.

"Don't worry, I can do it. Tomorrow, as soon as they use their spirit fusion skills, you will leave the arena and leave everything to me."

Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong widened their eyes, their expressions becoming extremely serious, and even a little angry as they looked at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao smiled and patted their heads, saying softly, "Don't worry, my second spirit has a natural skill that can be used to counter their spirit fusion skills. Believe me, I won't joke about my own safety."

Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong were silent, but seeing Huo Yuhao's persistence, they finally chose to believe him.
The three of them stayed at the shore of Poseidon Lake until sunset. After having a simple dinner in the cafeteria, they returned to their dormitories to rest and prepare for tomorrow's finals.

The next afternoon, the assessment area, the finals.

The assessment area was exceptionally quiet at this time. Although it was the final of the freshman assessment, there were no student spectators in the entire venue.

Shrek Academy's assessment system takes the privacy of each student's abilities into consideration as much as possible, so the assessment will never be open to other students for observation.

All students who did not take the assessment had to continue attending classes. Therefore, this afternoon's finals had the fewest students in the assessment area.

Of course, there are always people who collect intelligence. Besides, while spectators are not allowed during assessments, they are allowed during the Soul Fighting Zone competitions! Much of the information on Huo Yuhao and the others came from the Soul Fighting Zone.
Apart from the small number of students, almost all the teachers in the Foreign Affairs College who had no classes gathered at the viewing platform in the assessment area to watch the game.

The academy's top leaders, including the Dean of the Martial Soul Department Yan Shaozhe, the Vice Dean of the Soul Guidance Department Qian Duoduo, and the elder of the Sea God Pavilion in the inner courtyard, Xuanzi, and other important figures also came.

Although the freshman assessment happens every year and may seem like a common occurrence, nearly all of the inner courtyard students have previously been top performers in the freshman assessment. After being selected by the academy, they receive Shrek's dedicated resources and comprehensive training, only then are they able to pass the assessment and enter the inner courtyard.

The reason why so many senior figures from the college came this time was because the freshmen of this year were particularly strong.

Generally speaking, even for Shrek Academy students, it takes around the third year to reach the level of a three-ringed Soul Master. And the three-ring level is also a necessary condition for promotion from third to fourth year.

In this freshman assessment, there are as many as four freshmen with the third-ring cultivation level. With such strength, they will almost certainly enter the inner courtyard in the future.

Among these four people, there is a high-level Soul Master like Huo Yuhao. The hidden cards behind him are even more difficult for the powerful people in the Titled Douluo realm to see through.

The college leaders all wanted to see what kind of sparks would emerge in this year's freshman assessment finals and what kind of trump cards Huo Yuhao would be forced to reveal.
