Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, have a Beast Taming Space

Chapter 44 Armored Rhinoceros: You want me to fight it?

After leaving Ma Xiaotao's residence, Huo Yuhao went straight to the Beast Fighting Area.

From afar, he could see Wang Dong pacing anxiously. As soon as he saw him, he immediately jogged over.

"You finally came!"

Wang Dong looked Huo Yuhao up and down, then suddenly leaned in and sniffed him, before staring at his eyes suspiciously.

"What...did you do last night?"

Huo Yuhao was amused by her actions, and reached out to cup Wang Dong's cheeks, gently kneading them: "Nothing, why are you so concerned? I'm not gay."

"Who...who's gay with you?!"

Wang Dong's face flushed red, and she broke free from Huo Yuhao's hand, glaring at him angrily.

"I'm just worried that you'll be bullied by that crazy woman!"

Huo Yuhao looked at Wang Dong's flushed cheeks and couldn't help but reach out and ruffle her hair again: "Don't worry, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"

Wang Dong slapped his hand away and muttered under her breath, "Who knows what you two did last night..."

Just then, Xiao Xiao arrived and, seeing the interaction between the two, couldn't help but laugh and ask, "What are you whispering about?"

"nothing!"

Wang Dong immediately denied it, but the blush on her face became even more pronounced.

Huo Yuhao smiled and changed the subject: "Let's go, the assessment is about to begin."

On the way to the Beast Fighting Zone, Huo Yuhao told the two that he had broken through to level 28.

Wang Dong was naturally shocked again. After all, Huo Yuhao had increased his soul power by 14 levels in just one year, from level 14 a year ago to level 28 now. This cultivation speed was truly astonishing.

"Wow, the class monitor is amazing!"

Xiao Xiao's eyes were full of stars.

Huo Yuhao rubbed her head.

"Xiao Xiao is also very powerful~ Her twin martial souls have unlimited potential for the future."

Wang Dong watched from the sidelines, gritting his teeth in anger.

That pervert!

He's definitely got his eye on Xiao Xiao too! That innocent little girl, you can tell from her eyes that she's interested in Huo Yuhao too!
She now regrets dressing up as a man in the first place.

What was the reason back then?
Ever since she first fused with Huo Yuhao's martial soul last year, she has felt increasingly uneasy, as if she had always done some inexplicable things before that.

"Hmph, you pervert, if you saw what I looked like in real life, you'd be so mesmerized you wouldn't be able to walk straight."

Suddenly, Wang Dong, who was still lost in his own thoughts, felt his face being pulled.

"What are you whining about? The assessment is about to begin."

……

The Beast Fighting Area is the largest building in Shrek Academy, covering an area equal to the size of all the teaching buildings and dormitories of the Martial Soul Department plus Shrek Square.

Throughout the entire Douluo Continent, those academies capable of raising soul beasts are extremely rare, and those reaching the scale of Shrek Academy are even more unique.

The Colosseum is oval-shaped, with its highest point reaching approximately 57 meters.

From the outside, the building is divided into four floors, with the bottom three floors being a series of arched structures.

Today's assessment attracted many viewers. On the high platform, Du Weilen and the teachers in charge of scoring were already in place.

After Huo Yuhao and the others lined up to receive their respective assessment forms, they were led by Wang Yan to participate in the assessment.

As the class monitor, Huo Yuhao stood at the very front of the line.

He could feel Dai Huabin's gaze fixed on him.

Soon all the classes participating in the assessment had assembled.

Du Weilun stood on the platform and announced, "Now that everyone is here, the assessment will begin. In order of class, Class 1 of the second year will send out five students first. Then Class 2 will send out five students, and so on."

Wang Yan turned around and said, "In the past, the class monitors of each class took the lead in the assessments, so let Yuhao go first, and the rest of you can sign up yourselves."

"I'll go second."

Dai Huabin suddenly spoke up, then glared at Huo Yuhao.

“Okay, then you’ll be second.” Wang Yan nodded.

Then Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and Wu Feng also took the last three seats.

Huo Yuhao was the first to go on stage. He handed the assessment form to the teacher next to him, who then used the lift platform to pass it to Du Weilun on stage.

When Du Weilun saw Huo Yuhao taking the first test, he immediately began to watch intently.

Not only because Huo Yuhao was the strongest, but also because Yan Shaozhe had specifically instructed him before the assessment to observe this student carefully.

Huo Yuhao stood in the center of the arena, feeling the gazes cast upon him from all around, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

The referee stepped forward and asked, "What's your major?"

"Summoning system."

"What?"

"Sigh, an offensive style."

"Choose the soul beast you want to challenge, with an age ranging from one hundred to one thousand years."

"Thousand-year soul beast."

Huo Yuhao said without hesitation.

"sure?"

Although the referee knew Huo Yuhao's strength, he still habitually confirmed it.

"determine."

Huo Yuhao nodded.

The trainees on the sidelines immediately started discussing among themselves.

Those freshmen who had never faced a soul beast alone wanted to learn from the experience, while those who had lost to Huo Yuhao in the freshman assessment wanted to see how much his strength had improved.

As the referee gestured, the iron gate in the distance slowly opened.

Accompanied by heavy footsteps, a massive, thousand-year-old armored rhinoceros, over two meters long, burst out of the passageway.

Its body was covered in hard carapace, and the single horn on its head gleamed with a cold light; it was clearly not an easy opponent.

"It's an armored rhinoceros..."

Huo Yuhao was somewhat surprised; this was no ordinary thousand-year-old soul beast.

Its strength and defense are quite famous among soul beasts.

The armored rhinoceros stared intently at Huo Yuhao with its scarlet eyes, its thick hooves pawing the ground incessantly, displaying extreme agitation.

Strangely, it did not launch an attack immediately, but instead hesitated in place, as if it was wary of something.

Just then, two purple soul rings slowly rose from beneath Huo Yuhao's feet.

In an instant, the temperature in the entire arena plummeted, and a thin layer of frost condensed on the ground.

This is a subtle chill released unconsciously.

Both the examiners and the countless students in the room were astonished, their mouths agape.

At the highest point, Yan Shaozhe, who was overlooking the entire situation, stood up in shock!
"These are two thousand-year soul rings!"

He suddenly remembered some information about Huo Yuhao that his teacher had told him before.

Is it possible?
"Roar!!!"

A deafening roar echoed throughout the entire Colosseum!

Atop Huo Yuhao, a dark gold dinosaur bear over three meters tall suddenly appeared.

A violent aura surged forth, and a ferocious gaze was fixed on the millennia-old armored rhinoceros opposite!
Yan Shaozhe watched this scene with surprise, even though he was prepared.

"The thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear has truly grown!"

The armored rhinoceros trembled violently the moment it saw the dark gold dinosaur, its massive body trembling with terror in its crimson eyes.

As a soul beast, it knew better than humans how terrifying the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was—it was a top-tier being capable of tearing apart a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast with a thousand years of cultivation!

The top predator in the world of soul beasts!
Most spirit beasts would try to avoid them if they encountered them!

You want me to hit it?
