Douluo Continent: Becoming a disciple of Jing Liu, illuminating all the gods

Chapter 25 Two Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Soul Bones

Huo Yuhao appeared calm on the surface, but he harbored a dark side unlike that of ordinary people. The darkness that had gradually accumulated since childhood nearly erupted when he saw Dai Huabin, but was eventually suppressed by his reason. Yet, at this moment, he felt he could no longer hold back. Why, why did you do this to me?

Du Weilun continued, "Given that some freshmen, despite lacking in talent and ability, still demonstrated outstanding performance in the freshman assessment, the academy has decided to grant them the status of core disciples temporarily until the end of this academic year. If they make a breakthrough in next year's promotion exam, they will be considered for formal core disciple status. The list is as follows: Huo Yuhao, Cui Yajie, Huang Chutian, Long Xiangyue, and Nanmen Yun'er. That concludes the announcement."

Huo Yuhao's gaze was slightly vacant, the resentment in his heart gradually subsiding. Yes! I am lacking in ability. Among the people announced by Director Du Weilun, I am the only one whose cultivation level is below level twenty. Core disciple treatment, what a wonderful core disciple treatment! A trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. Slowly lowering his head, Huo Yuhao buried that sorrow deep in his heart.

Perhaps, without the fusion skill between me and Wang Dong, I wouldn't even have this core disciple status. But who can I blame? I can only blame my own lack of strength. I can only blame the fact that my first spirit ring was only at the ten-year level in their eyes. A self-deprecating smile appeared on Huo Yuhao's lips, but when he raised his head again, his eyes held a chill.

"Yuhao, are you alright?" Wang Dong asked in a low voice.

Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly, forced a smile, and said, "I'm fine. I'm not qualified to become a core disciple. I'm just a level seventeen Soul Master."

Wang Dong said urgently, "They don't know how important you are..."

Xiao Xiao nodded repeatedly.

Huo Yuhao's smile became slightly more relaxed as he said, "I'm really fine. Didn't Director Du say I'd also enjoy the benefits of a core disciple? That's already great. I'll keep working hard. Maybe I can become a full-fledged core disciple during the upgrade assessment."

.........

Du Weilen said, "Alright, 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, and each member can request a spirit ring from the academy when they need one, and the academy will assist them in obtaining a spirit ring that is within their means and is most suitable for them."

Upon hearing this, the first-year students erupted in astonished praise. This reward was tantamount to a promise from the academy that the next spirit ring for Huo Yuhao and the other three would inevitably be a limit-level spirit ring. For example, if Huo Yuhao's second spirit ring could withstand seven hundred years, then the academy would find him a suitable seven-hundred-year spirit ring. This would apply to everyone. This reward was undeniably substantial.

Du Weilun continued, "In recognition of the outstanding performance and undefeated record of the champion teams Chen Qiye and Gu Yue throughout the competition, the academy has decided to award them a special prize. This prize will be kept confidential by the academy. You two can come with me to collect it after the class assignments are completed."

Next came the class division. The entire first year was divided into four classes: Class 1 consisted of offensive and control-type Soul Masters, Class 2 consisted of defensive and agile-type Soul Masters, Class 3 consisted of support-type Soul Masters, and Class 4 consisted of Soul Masters and Weapon Soul Masters with various special attributes, including food-type and healing-type Soul Masters.

Undoubtedly, the strongest class overall is Class One, and Chen Qiye, Gu Yue, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and several others were assigned to this class.

The strongest member of Class Two is undoubtedly Xie Huanyue, who excels in defense. His Mimi Elephant Martial Soul is truly unique.

The "Support" category in Class Three doesn't refer to all support characters, but rather to those Battle Soul Masters and Weapon Soul Masters who can directly provide support in battle. For example, Ning Tian, ​​the owner of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul.

As for Class Four, they consist of hybrid Soul Masters. Relatively speaking, they don't have much combat power, but they often possess remarkable abilities in certain special areas. The two most important types are the food type and the healing type.

Classes are divided in this way for almost every grade, except that the higher the grade, the smaller the number of students in each class. Shrek Academy's dropout rate has always been extremely high.

Even among the students who successfully graduate from the Foreign Languages ​​Department, no more than fifty people do so each year. In other words, it would be quite good if 20% of the current 300-plus students made it to the end.

Next was the introduction of the homeroom teachers of each class. Zhou Yi became one of the homeroom teachers of Class 1, Grade 1. Each class has two homeroom teachers. The other one was Wang Yan, who came because of Chen Qiye.

Even Zhou Yi didn't know that Wang Yan, who was originally teaching older students, had come to Class 1 of the first grade because of Chen Qiye and was teaching with her.

"Alright, everyone, please return to the teaching building according to the latest class assignments, led by your respective class teachers. Chen Qiye, Gu Yue, come with me to collect your rewards," Director Du Weilun announced.

The three followed Du Weilun to the teachers' office area behind the teaching building. Du Weilun's office was on the top floor and was much larger than Zhou Yi's office. The office was simply decorated, but there were many bookshelves, as many as four, containing tens of thousands of books.

After Gu Yue and Chen Qiye went inside, Du Weilun didn't say anything more.

He directly took out two yellow pouches from the ruby ​​ring on his right hand. The pouches were also emanating faint soul power fluctuations, indicating that they were also soul tools.

Du Weilen laughed, "Given that you defeated so many powerful opponents this time, I've applied to the academy to grant you only one reward, but without a doubt, this reward is far more valuable than any of the previous ones. Open it and take a look!"

Chen Qiye and Gu Yue also took the leather pouch, opened the rope on it, and a golden light rose up, revealing a crystal-clear bone in front of them. It was a right arm bone, which was golden in color. The slender bone made it impossible to tell what kind of soul beast provided it, but it looked like metal or jade, exquisite and beautiful.

"Soul... Soul Bone?" Gu Yue stammered, his eyes turning from black to purple in an instant.

Du Weilen smiled slightly and said, "That's right, they are soul bones. You both performed so well that you received these soul bones. Let me introduce them to you. These are two soul bones I specially selected for you two. They are called the Golden Power Right Arm Bone and the Swift Wind Chaser Left Leg Bone, which come from a golden giant elephant and a swift wind wolf, both over ten thousand years old. These two soul bones can greatly enhance your strength and contain an extremely powerful attack soul skill. They are the most suitable for both of you!"

"Alright, I'll see you out. Find some time to fuse the soul bones as soon as possible. This soul tool pouch can also conceal the aura of soul power, but to avoid any unforeseen complications, you also need to keep this a secret. After all, a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."

As he spoke, Du Weiren escorted the two out of the teaching area.
