"I'm flabbergasted! This grouping!"
"The class monitor, the vice monitor, and Wu Feng are all in the same group. The top three have teamed up; the teacher must have designated this grouping aiming for the first place in the new student assessment!"
"Huh, wait a minute. Didn't Teacher Mùjǐn just say there couldn't be two strong attack system soul masters in one group? Wu Feng is a beast martial soul strong attack system soul master, and now with the class monitor, doesn't that make it two?"
Upon hearing others' questions, Huo Yuhao calmly stood up and pointed at himself, saying, "I hope you guys don't get it wrong. Yours truly is a bona fide auxiliary system soul master."
As soon as he finished speaking, the students from Class Nine looked at him with disdain.
Damn, every physical education class, everyone in the class gets a thorough beating from you. And you're telling me you're an auxiliary system soul master? Are you kidding me? Are you trying to deceive ghosts?
So, your understanding of an auxiliary system soul master is just to knock down all opponents to perfectly ensure the safety of your teammates? You're indeed a little genius! But on second thought, the students of Class Nine also realized.
After three months of getting along, they also knew that Huo Yuhao's martial soul was a mental-type martial soul.
And most mental-type martial souls are control system or auxiliary system, so Mùjǐn's grouping was completely valid, with no problem at all.
However, if Huo Yuhao's group participates in the competition, the scenes of battle can be largely predicted.
When the members of the opposing team come to target the backline, they will find that the seemingly weak auxiliary system soul master's combat power is even stronger than the strong attack system soul master's. Who knows what their reaction will be.
Hopefully, no one gets hurt.
What a move to play possum and act tough, it's so cunning! Too cunning!
"After the second group."
After Mùjǐn announced the completion of all the groupings, every student felt relieved.
Mùjǐn understood every student in Class Nine very well, even considering their interpersonal relationships when making the groupings.
This thoughtful grouping made every student have no objections to the order of the groups, all ready to show off their skills.
"All right, it's almost time for class to end. I believe each of you has almost finished your preparations. Hand in all the materials distributed earlier, and then you can go home. After going back, make sure to rest well and adjust your condition. I hope all thirty-three groups of students from Class Nine can advance."
"Huo Yuhao, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng, stay behind."
After the other students handed in their materials and bid farewell to Mùjǐn and Huo Yuhao's group, they returned to their dormitories to prepare for the assessment.
For some of them, this might be the last chance to meet Mùjǐn and Huo Yuhao.
Although there was some reluctance in their hearts, they still tried to adjust their emotions and prepare to face tomorrow's battles.
"I'll take a look at the future development directions you three have chosen. Hmm, Wu Feng, strong attack system, there's no problem with that. The Red Dragon martial soul is indeed the top beast martial soul in the strong attack system."
Mùjǐn held the three sets of materials belonging to Huo Yuhao's group in his hand and said with a smile.
"Ning Tian, strong attack system?!" Mùjǐn suddenly paused.
"Teacher, I want to learn with Wu Feng, so I've also chosen to enter the class of strong attack system." Ning Tian said calmly.
"Although I don't doubt the teaching ability of Shrek Academy, my Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has a heritage of ten thousand years. I have developed the configuration and usage methods of the seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda martial soul to the extreme. Entering the class of strong attack system will allow me to have a better understanding of battles between soul masters, thus gaining more insights and experience on how to assist other soul masters in combat."
"Well, you make a good point." Mùjǐn nodded in satisfaction.
Ning Tian truly lived up to the bloodline of the Ning family of the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, inheriting not only the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda martial soul but also the wisdom of the Ning family.
Thousands of years ago, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, Ning Fengzhi, was known as the wisest in the world of soul masters. Now it seems that Ning Tian has inherited the traits of his ancestor.
Turning his head, Mùjǐn's gaze fell on Huo Yuhao. If Ning Tian represented wisdom, then Huo Yuhao...
Well, he's more cunning.
Even after three months of being together, Mùjǐn couldn't see through how much power this student, Huo Yuhao, was hiding.
He was like an abyss filled with water, appearing calm on the surface with no danger apparent, but in reality, he was bottomless, full of unknowns.
"Huo Yuhao, auxiliary system?" Mùjǐn widened his beautiful eyes, staring at Huo Yuhao intently.
And Ning Tian and Wu Feng beside him also looked at Huo Yuhao with a hint of anger, as if they wanted to question him about his choice.
To be honest, the reason Ning Tian chose to enter the class of strong attack system was partly because she wanted to study with Wu Feng, and partly because of Huo Yuhao.
In Ning Tian's eyes, Huo Yuhao was like a treasure trove that could never be fully explored, always able to surprise her with something new.
Like this recent close combat exercise, even she benefited greatly from it. For an auxiliary system soul master like her, even a tiny bit of combat ability was a significant improvement.
But she had already chosen the strong attack system, and Huo Yuhao actually chose auxiliary system, sneakily...
Getting addicted to playing possum and acting tough, huh? Are you getting a bit too into character?
"Teacher, you know my martial soul, and you understand my soul skills. Being an auxiliary system soul master is absolutely fine." Huo Yuhao said lazily. "I just hate all that fighting stuff, it's too boring."
"You..." Mùjǐn almost burst out laughing at Huo Yuhao's words, giving him a meaningful glare. "Don't think I don't know. You just want to avoid Zhou Yi, right? Let me tell you, because of your last incident, combined with the excessive expulsion of students from the new first class, Zhou Yi has lost the qualification to be the class instructor for the strong attack system class. I've taken over the position now. Are you relieved?"
Huo Yuhao was slightly stunned, then a smile spread across his face.
"That crazy old woman has been banned by the academy? That's really good news! Since you're the class instructor now, I'll definitely cooperate with your work. Let the auxiliary system go, I still prefer the control system more. After all, strong attack system soul masters and control system soul masters are not separated. They're just in different classes."
Seeing Huo Yuhao hastily revise his information from auxiliary to control system, Mùjǐn smiled.
"Although the new student assessment is only your first assessment at Shrek Academy, it is very important for your future cultivation path. Being able to achieve a good ranking in the new student assessment is the only way to become a core disciple of the academy and be prioritized for training."
"Ning Tian has already reached the Soul Grandmaster level, which is rare among freshmen. And Wu Feng possesses the top-tier strong attack system beast martial soul, the Red Dragon, with extraordinary combat power."
"As for you, Huo Yuhao, the teacher doesn't oppose your choice to keep a low profile and hide your strength. But since you've joined the team, you must have a sense of team honor. I hope you can be responsible to them both."
"Hmmph!" Huo Yuhao was choked and coughed a few times. The last thing Mùjǐn said didn't sit right with him.
Making me responsible for Ning Tian and Wu Feng? Teacher, I guess you don't know, but those two have already formed their own self-sufficient duo. I don't think I can intervene.
"I have no doubt about the strength of you three, so I'm giving you a task now. In the new student assessment, your only goal is to win the championship."
"And I can tell you in advance, Shrek Academy has always been generous. Among all the assessments in the academy, the rewards for the champions of the new student assessment and the external graduation assessment are the most generous. As for the specific rewards, you'll find out when you win the championship. Go on, go back and adjust your state. I believe in your abilities!"
Huo Yuhao, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng glanced at each other, smiled knowingly, and then their hands clasped together.
"Class Nine, we will win!"
