Chapitre 28: Assessment
The old man looked at Huo Yuhao deeply, waved his hand, signaling that the three of them passed, and then waved to Dai Mubai who was deliberately slowing down his pace. Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Dai Mubai had no choice but to lower his head and come in front of the few people.
"Wait a little longer. Let me finish this last test and let this senior take you in."
The three of them had no objection and took the initiative to greet Dai Mubai. Dai Mubai waved awkwardly, appearing very nervous. Seeing Huo Yuhao nodded to him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The four of them turned their attention to the last one, Zhu Zhuqing. Dai Mubai looked at the hot girl in front of him seriously, not daring to move at all. Huo Yuhao was still beside him! He didn't want to be beaten again. After a moment, two yellow soul rings rose up under Zhu Zhuqing's feet, and the old man nodded to signal for her to pass.
"Let the senior take you in together."
Led by Dai Mubai, everyone walked inside. On the way, they met an uncle pushing a cart and selling sausages. Many students who passed the preliminary exam gathered around him.
"Yuhao, I want to eat sausages."
Seeing that there was something delicious, Xiao Wu said with shining eyes. Huo Yuhao nodded and was about to go over to buy some to try when he saw Dai Mubai, who was leading the way, with a constipated expression on his face.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Dai Mubai hesitated for a moment, but still revealed the secret of the sausage, causing everyone except Huo Yuhao to look disgusted.
"This is too disgusting!"
Xiao Wu complained, and Zhu Zhuqing beside her nodded in agreement. Huo Yuhao looked at the appearances of several people, shook his head and laughed, and couldn't help but recall his previous life.
He was holding four cigars made by his senior brothers in his mouth, puffing out smoke, and then looking at the cart with a bit of jealousy in his eyes. He never thought that the 'Food God' in his previous life actually sold sausages when he was a child.
Then, under the stunned eyes of everyone, he walked to the cart and said, "Senior, please give me five grilled sausages."
"Okay, you have good eyes. I can tell at a glance that you will definitely pass the test. I'll give you a discount and charge you two silver coins."
Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded, "Then I'll borrow your good words, Senior."
In his previous life, he often practiced cooking with this Food God. This Food God was humble, talented, and worked hard in his practice, which left a very good impression on Huo Yuhao.
He paid the money, picked up the small bag containing four sausages, took one in his hand and put it in his mouth, then walked towards the four people.
"It's my treat, try it! It tastes really good."
Several people looked embarrassed, but Dai Mubai looked at Huo Yuhao in surprise. Huo Yuhao was the first one who did not care after hearing the story. He began to admire the talented boy in front of him who was much younger than him and took one and started eating it with a smile.
Huo Yuhao looked at the remaining three people, "What about you?"
Seeing Huo Yuhao eating with gusto, Xiao Wu pursed her lips. After a fierce ideological struggle, she finally took one. As soon as she took a bite, her eyes lit up.
"It's really good, you guys try it, it's delicious."
Tang San nodded and took one. Now there was only one left in the bag, which was reserved for Zhu Zhuqing.
"Um I still don't want it"
Zhu Zhuqing waved her hand and was interrupted before she could finish her words. Huo Yuhao smiled and handed the bag to Zhu Zhuqing.
"Just think of it as the first step in growth, okay? You have to try anyway."
Zhu Zhuqing raised her eyes and met the clear sky-blue eyes. She was stunned for a moment, pursed her lips slightly and nodded, then reached out to take the sausage.
"Thanks."
"Hehe, is it delicious?" Xiao Wu looked at Zhu Zhuqing expectantly.
"Um"
Zhu Zhuqing was a little uncomfortable with Xiao Wu's enthusiasm. She tilted her head slightly and her face turned slightly red. While eating the sausages, Dai Mubai also learned that their soul power levels were all over 25.
So he said hello to the teacher of the second assessment and prepared to take the four of them straight to the fourth assessment for testing.
"Wait a minute, teacher. I can also skip this."
A clear voice rang out, it was the girl in white dress that Dai Mubai had just brought in. With a delicate face and a distinguished temperament, she was obviously an aristocratic girl. The girl took a simple test of her soul power and it was level 26. The test teacher nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand to indicate that she passed.
The team added one more person, reaching six people. On the way, Dai Mubai also explained to everyone the content of the fourth level of assessment: Combat.
When he had almost finished speaking, everyone arrived at the venue for the fourth level. In the open space of about 200 square meters, there was only a middle-aged man dozing off on a chair.
"Teacher Zhao, they are here to take the fourth-level test."
Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered. His last name was Zhao? Zhao Wuji? He was also a famous person in his previous life. It was said that although he had a bad temper, he was a teacher who loved his students. The middle-aged man opened his eyes and glanced at everyone.
"Huh? There are actually five people taking the fourth level assessment this year?"
"They also skipped the checkpoint." Dai Mubai added.
Zhao Wuji's eyes lit up.
"Not bad, not bad. Let me think about what to test for."
"Got it. The five of you work together to withstand my attacks for an incense stick of time and you'll pass. Now I'll give you an incense stick of time to discuss strategy." (TN: Usually around 5 minutes.)
Seeing Dai Mubai hesitant to speak, Zhao Wuji couldn't help but glare at him, "Why, are you dissatisfied with something?"
"Ahem, what I want to say is, Mr. Zhao, can you extend the time a little bit? Some of the students in this class are very talented."
Dai Mubai leaned close to Zhao Wuji's ear and whispered.
Zhao Wuji sneered, not taking it seriously at all. "Humph! Ridiculous. I want to see how powerful they are."
After saying that, he took out a stick of incense, rubbed it with his hands, lit it, and closed his eyes to rest. Dai Mubai scratched his head helplessly upon seeing this, then walked towards the crowd and introduced to them the characteristics of Zhao Wuji's martial soul, the 'Vigorous Vajra Bear'.
In summary, it has high attack and defense. Although the speed is a bit slower, it is still far beyond the reach of Soul Grandmasters like them. When everyone heard that they had to deal with a level 76 Soul Saint, they felt a bit overwhelmed.
"They actually asked us to fight against the Soul Saint? Is this acceptable?"
The one who was speaking was the girl in the white dress, and in her opinion, it was simply an impossible task. Dai Mubai glanced at Huo Yuhao, who looked calm, and after a moment's hesitation, he said softly,
"Although it's hard to say, you will definitely pass."
"Why?" The girl in the white dress was puzzled.
Dai Mubai raised his chin towards Huo Yuhao and said, "Because of him, you can't lose with him around."
"??"
Without further explanation, Dai Mubai began to remind everyone.
"Okay, introduce yourself to each other so it will be easier for you to work together later."
Then everyone introduced themselves one by one, starting with Tang San.
"Ning Rongrong, Martial Soul 'Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda', Rank 26 Auxiliary System Tool Soul Master." (TN: I stick with this introduction whenever people are introducing themselves: Name, Spirit, Rank, System, Type.)
"Zhu Zhuqing, Martial Soul 'Hell Civet', Rank 27 Agility Attack System Beast Soul Master."
Finally it was Huo Yuhao's turn. He saw that the other two people, except Tang San and Xiao Wu, were looking at him curiously because of Dai Mubai's words.
He said helplessly, "Huo Yuhao, Martial Soul 'Dark Spirit Eye', Rank 39 Control System Body Soul Master."
Zhu Zhuqing's pupils shrank. She already knew that Huo Yuhao had three rings, but she didn't expect that he was level 39. Level 39 at the age of twelve simply refreshed her worldview.
Ning Rongrong also covered her open mouth, and the sense of superiority she had just felt for revealing her martial soul was gone.
"Now that you have a general understanding, let me assign roles. My skills are more auxiliary, so I will be in the background like Ning Rongrong."
"Xiao San will be in charge of controlling Teacher Zhao, Xiao Wu will be the main attacker, and Zhu Zhuqing will be in charge of containing the enemy. Is that all right?"
Huo Yuhao, who was the core of the team in his previous life, immediately assigned responsibilities. He only planned to play a supporting role and be responsible for providing backup. Tang San and Xiao Wu knew that Huo Yuhao was giving them an opportunity to gain experience, so they didn't say much.
Only Dai Mubai looked constipated again, his face was blue, and he was complaining in his heart, auxiliary? You support your team by beating me into this state by relying on your physical fitness?? (TN: You know what they say, the best support are those who destroy all the enemy on screen before the main DPS)
Of course, he didn't dare say it out loud, as the bruises on his face that were almost healed seemed to be in pain again.
"Time is up, are you ready?" Zhao Wuji's loud voice rang out.
Dai Mubai quickly ran to the edge to watch the battle, and at the same time shouted, "Get ready."
Zhao Wuji nodded, took out another stick of incense, lit it, and stuck it into the ground.
