Because the Three-Life Soul Suppressing Cauldrons not only arrived quickly but also quite suddenly, the three Agile-Attack-type Soul Masters did not have time to activate their soul skills. To all the spectators, it was already impressive that Xiao Xiao could focus on three tasks at once. It was impossible for her to have the spare energy to control the three divided soul powers and release soul skills at the right moment. After all, the three opponents came at different speeds, one after another.
However, Xiao Xiao showed them a shocking scene. Three booms sounded in succession, with each Soul Suppressing Cauldron shaking at different positions.
All of them were activated at the moment of collision with the Agile-Attack-type Soul Masters. As a result, the three Agile-Attack-type Soul Masters were successively stunned as their bodies were pushed back. Without the robust physique of Strong-Attack-type Soul Masters, the duration of their dizziness was naturally longer than that of Huang Chutian. The three Three-Life Soul Suppressing Cauldrons collided with their bodies again.
“Bang, bang, bang.” Facing enemies on three sides, she triumphed on all three fronts. The three figures were simultaneously knocked out of the arena.
Three beams of black light rose again, merging into one above Xiao Xiao's head, and quietly disappeared as her soul power was retracted.
The entire venue fell silent. This victory, led by Xiao Xiao, was even more shocking than the previous one, with the entire battle process lasting less than half a minute. Relying on her own strength, she confronted three Agile-Attack-type opponents, not even letting them cross the halfway line. She fought on three fronts and won comprehensively on all three.
Wang Yan had personally witnessed all the previous assessments of the Huo Yuhao team. In his mind, the strongest of the three was Wang Dong, the most mysterious and steady was Huo Yuhao. Xiao Xiao's soul weapon seemed good, but it was more inclined towards semi-support and semi-control. In his heart, she was placed at the back.
But at this moment, Xiao Xiao used her strength to prove to Wang Yan that she also held a significant position in the three-person team. Wang Yan could not imagine how a girl of just around eleven years old could be so calm and accurately judge all the attack routes of the enemies and deliver heavy blows. Even a four-ringed Soul Master of the control type might not be able to achieve such a smooth and seamless defense, control, and retreat. How did this little girl manage to do it?
The other teams, who originally thought they had a chance to take advantage of the significant consumption of Huo Yuhao's team in the first match, now had their hopes dashed. Among these three, two had the strength to single-handedly take on a team! They were too powerful.
However, Huang Chutian's team, which had overall strength not inferior to Huo Yuhao's team, was not so lucky. Although the Lan sisters had regained consciousness from their dizziness, they still suffered from severe headaches and excessive soul power consumption, and did not even participate in the match. Only Huang Chutian continued to participate in the competition.
Huang Chutian's soul power had also been greatly consumed, and he was injured by Wang Dong's wing scythe. Moreover, in a one-against-three situation, all the opponents' attention was on him. Although Xiao Xiao was also one-against-three, the presence of Huo Yuhao in the back provided a deterrent, which inevitably分散了对手的精力.
Therefore, Huang Chutian met with a tragic end. After holding out for a while in the second match, he was finally defeated by the opponents, resulting in the team's second loss.
For the remaining matches, the three-person team of Huo Yuhao entered a virtuous cycle. No one was willing to confront them head-on, and they all tried to preserve their strength to deal with others when competing against them. In the next three matches, they won with ease. Especially in the fourth match, Wang Dong's soul power had been fully restored, and with him and Xiao Xiao standing in front of Huo Yuhao, the opponents only put up a symbolic resistance before conceding.
In the end, the Huo Yuhao team, representing the first-year class, achieved a perfect ten wins in the round-robin stage, securing the best performance in the region.
Huang Chutian's team, with its strong foundation, managed to recover somewhat after two consecutive losses. The Lan sisters returned to the stage, and Huang Chutian displayed his formidable strength. Facing the opponents who were already exhausted from the previous matches, they finally won three consecutive matches, securing seven wins out of ten. Entering the top sixty-four should not be a problem.
With the round-robin stage over, Wang Yan could no longer contain himself.
"Huo Yuhao, you three stay behind." The other teams returned to rest, but Huo Yuhao and his team were called by him.
"Wang teacher." Huo Yuhao came to Wang Yan.
Wang Yan nodded at him and smiled, "Congratulations on your perfect record in the round-robin stage of the new student assessment. There are probably no more than ten teams that can achieve such results in the new student assessment. You are indeed very strong. However, I have always been curious, Huo Yuhao, as the team leader, what is your soul power? Although I couldn't see what you did in the battles, I believe you are the core of this team. Am I right?"
Huo Yuhao was taken aback and said modestly, "Teacher Wang, you are too kind. We achieved such good results because of Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao's strength. I am just a supporting role. As you saw, I only have one ten-year soul ring."
Wang Yan smiled slightly, "You don't need to be so modest. If you didn't have enough strength, I don't think Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, with their talents, would let you be the team leader. Moreover, I have investigated your performance in the academy over the past three months. Do you know what the other students call you?"
Huo Yuhao was taken aback and shook his head.
Wang Yan said, "They call you Steel Yuhao, because you have a will of steel. Although you have the weakest talent, you are the most hardworking, becoming a role model for the first-year class. However, I have never inquired about your soul power, because I wanted to see it with my own eyes to prove my ability. But the facts have forced me to admit that I lost. From start to finish, I never saw what your soul power was or what soul skills you used. In every match, I saw your ten-year soul ring shining, but I couldn't figure out what your soul skills do. Can you enlighten me?"
Huo Yuhao said, "Teacher Wang, my soul power is the Spirit Eye, which belongs to the mental attribute. As for the soul skills, please allow me to keep them confidential. After all, we still have more assessments to go through." His soul power was not a big secret in the academy, and many people knew about it. If this Teacher Wang really wanted to find out, he would certainly be able to. As for the soul skills, he was unwilling to reveal them.
