Chapter 49 Speculation
After the qualifying rounds ended, Huo Yuhao and his two companions had a simple dinner and then returned to their respective dormitories to rest.
Before leaving, Xiao Xiao gave Huo Yuhao a subtle look, reminding him to be wary of his good roommate Wang Dong. Huo Yuhao couldn't explain anything and could only nod and respond with a wry smile.
This scene unfolded right in front of Wang Dong, making him furious, his face turning red, even his ears turning a rosy hue. If he had a reason, Wang Dong probably would have already grabbed Huo Yuhao and dragged him away.
Having finally dealt with Xiao Xiao, Huo Yuhao turned to look at Wang Dong and felt helpless. After all, he really had no way to explain himself. So, under Wang Dong's jealous and angry glare, he stiffly returned to his dormitory and even went into meditation.
Wang Dong had countless things she wanted to say, but her disguise as a man was the strongest barrier, seemingly close yet ultimately unattainable. With a silent, melancholic sigh, Wang Dong finally stopped paying attention to this wicked person who had caused her so much turmoil. She sat cross-legged on the bed and began cultivating, as if escaping from her predicament.
Huo Yuhao had long wanted to know the reason why the Lan sisters had caused the Star Gate's disturbance, but unfortunately, he was in the midst of the assessment and it was inconvenient for him to enter his spiritual sea without any scruples. He only gained a general understanding through Tianmeng and the others' information.
At that time, Electrolux was also looking for the reason, so Huo Yuhao simply waited until the assessment was over before coming in to find out.
Huo Yuhao had just conjured a spiritual body in his sea of consciousness when he discovered that Electrolux was already waiting for him, and Tianmeng and Bingdi were also awake at that moment.
"Teacher, Tianmeng, Bingdi, has there been any result regarding the Star Gate anomaly?"
Tianmeng and Bingdi shook their heads without speaking, while Elder Yi sighed and said, "We still know too little about your second sea of consciousness, and we don't have many clues to deduce. The only thing we can be sure of is that those two little girls must have triggered the Star Palace of the three divine palaces."
"As I told you before, the sun represents life, the moon represents death, and the stars represent change. Those two little girls' martial souls are their hair, and the power they draw upon is the power of the stars. So, it can be understood that their martial soul fusion process amplified the characteristics of change, making their martial souls more versatile. As for your Spirit Eye's third soul skill, Illusionary Mirror Eye, it is essentially using mental power to conjure a soul mirror to reflect the essence of the opponent's soul."
"I suspect that when you project the essence of the other person's soul, you may have amplified the characteristics of that change. This changeability then triggered the 'changeable' nature of the stars. And that's when the power of the stars was activated."
"Of course, this is just a rough deduction based on the information I have so far. I can't be sure what the situation is. After all, we don't know what's inside the three divine palaces. But Yuhao, don't worry. This Star Gate anomaly isn't a bad thing at least. You can spend more time with those two girls afterward. After all, having been baptized by the power of the stars, they're practically one of us."
Huo Yuhao knew that there was too little information available at the moment, and there was no use in being anxious. He nodded slightly and stopped paying too much attention to the matter.
Old Yi stroked his beard, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, as if he had thought of something. "Yuhao, are there any martial souls in your world that are relatively close to the essence of the Three Stars?"
Huo Yuhao was a little confused. He didn't know what Elder Yi's question meant, but he did know the answer.
"The Sun Moon Empire's royal family's inherited martial soul is the Sun. As for the Moon martial soul, I remember my godmother saying that the inner court's senior sister, Zhang Lexuan, has the Moon martial soul. As for the Star Martial Soul, I don't know, but there's the Star Luo Empire's royal family's inherited martial soul, the Star Crown."
Electrolux narrowed his eyes slightly, unsure of what to say, but made a guess: "If you have the chance later, you can get to know the owners of these martial souls better. If I'm not mistaken, these martial souls will cause a bigger stir than those two little girls did today, and they might even be able to open star gates."
Huo Yuhao nodded thoughtfully and said, "I understand, teacher."
After their conversation, Elder Yi fell into a deep sleep as usual, while Tianmeng, for the first time in a long time, clung to Huo Yuhao, pestering him to pat her head. Bingdi, curious, joined in, and unable to resist Tianmeng's enticement, also enjoying Huo Yuhao's caresses. After a long while, Huo Yuhao finally broke free from the two little girls' embrace, citing the need to cultivate.
The next day was the first day of classes after the round of 64.
On the podium, Wang Yan's gaze swept over all the students present, and he said with some excitement, "The three-day freshman assessment has ended. Only five teams from our class were eliminated, and ten teams made it into the top sixty-four. Congratulations to all the students present today for being able to continue studying at Shrek Academy for the next year. Your efforts over the past three months have not been in vain."
Wang Yan smiled and looked at the smiling students below the stage, and continued, "In addition, our class also has a team that achieved a perfect record. There are only six such teams in the entire grade."
Upon hearing this, all the students in the class couldn't help but cheer. Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, who were sitting below the stage, couldn't help but show a hint of pride on their faces, and their eyes turned to Huo Yuhao in unison.
Although the perfect victory was within Huo Yuhao's expectations, he was still a little excited to be praised by Wang Yan in front of the whole class. After feeling the gazes of his two teammates, Huo Yuhao's lips curled up slightly, and he nodded slightly to the two of them.
Wang Yan gently pressed his hands down to signal everyone to quiet down. He then said, "Next, I will talk to the students from these ten participating teams about the details of the top 64 elimination round. Other students who are not interested can study on their own."
"The Round of 64, as the name suggests, consists of only these 64 teams. There is no penalty for losing, but you will be disqualified from continuing the competition. The winning team will advance directly to the next round until the top three teams are determined. The top three teams will all receive a reward from the academy."
At this point, Wang Yan paused briefly before emphasizing, "I must mention that the new students recruited by the academy this year are significantly stronger than in previous years. Besides Huo Yuhao from our class, there are three Soul Masters. These strong teams with Soul Masters will undoubtedly be formidable opponents in the championship race. I hope our three outstanding representatives will not be complacent, prepare well for the competition, and strive to win the championship."
Huo Yuhao and the other two exchanged glances and nodded slightly to Wang Yan.
Afterwards, Wang Yan explained the other matters one by one, and when he finished, it was just time for get out of class to end.
Wang Yan tidied up the podium and then said, "Class is over now. Those who have advanced should go back and get some rest. Tomorrow is the official elimination round for the top 64."
