Douluo: Crossing the Yuhao Star Palace Master

Chapter 64 Rewards and Core Disciples

The first morning after the freshman assessment was over, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear. Thanks to Poseidon Hu, the air in Shrek Academy was not only fresh but also very humid.

All freshmen who passed the assessment gathered at Shrek Square, waiting for the second class division.

Soon, Yan Shaozhe, the headmaster of the Spirit Department, personally arrived in front of the students, accompanied by the Director of Studies, Du Weilun, and a dozen other teachers. Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao only knew one of these teachers: their homeroom teacher, Wang Yan. They vaguely recognized the other teachers, but didn't know them well.

Yan Shaozhe took a folder from Du Weilun and glanced at the group of freshmen who stayed behind with a smile. He said, "As everyone should know, the freshman assessment elimination rounds have ended, and the top three have been decided. Now, I, the Dean of the Wuhun Department, Yan Shaozhe, will personally present the awards to them."

"Third place in the freshman assessment, Team Xie Huanyue. Team members are Xie Huanyue, Luo Tianlong, and Luo Tianba. Step out."

Unlike the original world line, Xie Huanyue and his companions, who met Huo Yuhao and his three companions in the semi-finals, successfully defeated the combination of Huang Chutian and the Lan sisters and won the third place.

Although Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo's strength improved because of Huo Yuhao, due to the short time, they were still far behind Xie Huanyue, a legitimate Soul Master, and ultimately lost the game.

Xie Huanyue puffed out his chest, swaying his fleshy figure as he led the Luo brothers out, arriving in front of Yan Shaozhe. The three young men blushed slightly at the fact that they had received an award personally from Yan Shaozhe, the Super Douluo and Dean of the Martial Spirit Department of Shrek Academy.

After all, a powerhouse like Super Douluo was far too far away from them. Even if they achieved a good score of third place in the freshman assessment, they might not be able to reach the heights of Yan Shaozhe in the future. The three teenagers couldn't help but feel excited about being personally met by their idol.

All the first-year students applauded. After the freshman assessment, only one-third of the students who had just enrolled remained, about three hundred or so, a significant decrease in number.

"Second place goes to Dai Huabin's team. The team members are Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and Cui Yajie. Since Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu haven't woken up yet and are still recuperating, Cui Yajie will represent them."

Applause rang out again, but only a little girl named Cui Yajie came forward alone.

Because the girl was eliminated so quickly in the finals, she was completely unaware of the final outcome. When she regained consciousness in the academy's infirmary, she was suddenly informed that her team, despite possessing such a powerful weapon as the Nether White Tiger Fusion Technique, had still lost to Huo Yuhao and his three companions. This was somewhat difficult for Cui Yajie to accept.

But when she arrived, her two teammates were lying in the bunks next to her, still unconscious. The reality was starkly staring her in the face, and she couldn't help but accept it. Thinking of Huo Yuhao, who had sent her away, she glanced at the crowd and saw the boy chatting and laughing with a black-haired girl with a side ponytail. She was stunned for a moment.

Then she heard Yan Shaozhe's slightly raised voice, "Now, please give your warmest applause to welcome the final champions of our freshman assessment. They are Team Huo Yuhao. Team members: Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao."

Suddenly the whole place erupted in thunder, and Huo Yuhao and the other two walked out amidst applause and cheers.

Cui Yajie looked at Huo Yuhao's appearance carefully for the first time. His black ponytail was lightly tied with a silver ribbon. His fair face was like snow. There were faint golden stars twinkling in his deep blue eyes. His tall figure and broad arms...
Cui Yajie's pretty face turned slightly red, and she quickly closed her eyes and turned her head slightly. How could this guy be so handsome!

Huo Yuhao glanced at Cui Yajie, who was secretly watching him, with a strange look in his eyes. Suddenly, he realized something. At that moment, two cold gazes fixed him from behind, and Huo Yuhao instantly broke into a sweat.

Yan Shaozhe watched the scene calmly, a hint of mockery flickering in his eyes. Thanks to his powerful mental perception, Huo Yuhao keenly sensed this moment, and he suddenly felt a sense of social doom. Under pressure from three gazes, Huo Yuhao feigned indifference and walked over to Yan Shaozhe's side.

Yan Shaozhe coughed twice and continued, "Okay, now I will announce the rewards for the top three teams in the freshman assessment. The top three teams will all receive a unified reward from the academy. Each team can submit a request to the academy when they need a spirit ring, and the academy will assist them in obtaining the best spirit ring they can afford."

As soon as Yan Shaozhe finished speaking, all the first-year students immediately started discussing it enthusiastically. This reward meant that all the top three people could get the best-year soul ring that suited them best when they obtained the next soul ring.

Next, Yan Shaozhe announced additional rewards for the championship team consisting of Huo Yuhao and three others.

"Huo Yuhao's team performed exceptionally well throughout the competition, achieving a perfect record. The academy is awarding them a special prize as a token of their appreciation. This prize will be kept confidential. After the class division is complete, you can come with me to claim the prize."

After hearing Yan Shaozhe's words, all the freshmen looked at Huo Yuhao and the other two with great envy. The extra mysterious reward must be an extremely precious thing no matter how they thought about it, and everyone couldn't help but feel curious.

"Okay, the awards ceremony is over, you can all return to your teams."

Yan Shaozhe watched these students return to the stage gently, and continued a new round of speeches to all the freshmen.

"The overall quality of this year's freshmen is quite high. There are four Soul Masters alone, and there are also numerous outstanding Great Soul Masters. I hope that you will continue to work hard in the coming year, continue to explore your talents, and strive for the goal of entering the Inner Court."

"Shrek Academy will not hesitate to invest resources in all outstanding students. Now, a number of outstanding students have been selected to become the core disciples of the Outer Academy. Now, I will announce the list."

The square suddenly fell silent, and everyone began to look forward to their names appearing on the list. Being selected as a core disciple meant being able to enjoy the full support of Shrek Academy, which was the dream of all students who came to Shrek to study.

Yan Shaozhe read out, "The core disciples are Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Zhou Sichen, Cao Jinxuan, Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, Ning Tian, ​​and Wu Feng."

After Yan Shaozhe finished speaking, some were happy while others were sad. Many confident students did not hear their names on the list.

At this moment, Yan Shaozhe gently turned over another page of the document.

Seeing Yan Shaozhe's actions, many students immediately became alert and a glimmer of hope rekindled in their eyes.

Yan Shaozhe encouraged them, "During the freshman assessment, some students performed very well, but they still lacked in some areas. The academy has decided to temporarily grant them the status of core disciples. I hope you will work hard in the coming year to identify and address your shortcomings. You will perform better in next year's assessment. The academy will consider regularizing your status based on your performance. The list is as follows: Cui Yajie, Huang Chutian, Long Xiangyue, and Nanmen Yuner. This announcement is complete."
