Chapter 66 Core Disciple, Huo Yuhao's Disappointment
If Beibei and Tang Ya really get together, will the Tang Sect's long-forgotten martial arts techniques still be unique to the Tang Sect?
And Beibei's fanatical devotion to Shrek Academy... well, isn't that why she's considered a direct descendant of Shrek Academy?
"Will Teacher Xiaoya be alright?" Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment before asking.
"At least we won't be suddenly attacked by some madman."
After all, it was at the behest of Old Man Mun that Beibei took the initiative to approach Tang Ya, and Old Man Mun couldn't possibly be indifferent to the safety of his only descendant.
Speaking of Ma Xiaotao, Yan Shaozhe said he wanted her to be his maid, so why hasn't she come yet?
Soon, after lunch break, all the students from the new classes who had passed the assessment had arrived at Shrek Square.
After waiting for a while, Dean of Students Du Weilun led the teachers to the front of the square. In addition to the homeroom teachers of each class, there were some new faces.
After looking around at the students, Du Weilunman nodded and said, "Hello, students. As you all know, the freshman assessment and ranking competition have now concluded. This meeting is not only your class assignment meeting, but also an awards ceremony for the top three teams in the ranking competition."
"Now, I will announce their names and award them recognition."
"Third place in the freshman assessment, Dai Huabin's team. Team members: Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Cui Yajie. Come on up."
Dai Huabin's trio faced Wang Dong'er's trio in the semifinals. After being defeated by Wang Dong'er's trio, they could only compete with Huang Chutian's team, who had faced Ning Tian's team in the semifinals, for third place.
With the Lan sisters' Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Huang Chutian and his two companions were virtually invincible among the second-ring teams.
However, they were clearly no match for Ning Tian's team and Dai Huabin's team, failing to make the top three and only managing to rank fourth.
However, perhaps it was because losing to Wang Dong'er and her two companions and being mocked by Wang Dong'er angered Dai Huabin that he immediately fused his martial soul with Zhu Lu in the competition for third place. If it weren't for the referee blocking the Netherworld White Tiger's attack, Huang Chutian and his two companions would probably still be recovering.
Dai Huabin and his two companions walked out from the group of new students, but their faces showed no excitement or agitation. When they reached Du Weilun, their gazes went straight past the students in Class One and landed on Wang Dong'er.
Feeling Dai Huabin's gaze fall on her, Wang Dong'er also looked up. Fortunately, she saw a slightly angry and hateful look in his eyes, not any kind of admiration.
It wasn't that Wang Dong'er had completely fallen for Dai Huabin, but rather that Dai Huabin was somewhat attracted to strength and was suspected of being a masochist. In the original story, he had an experience of being beaten up by Wang Qiu'er and then falling in love with her.
She was indeed quite afraid that if she scolded Dai Huabin, he would get a good scolding in return.
Seeing Dai Huabin and his two companions stand still, Du Weilun continued to call out, "Second place, Ning Tian's team. Team members: Ning Tian, Wu Feng, and Nanmen Yun'er."
Ning Tian and the other two quickly stepped forward. Wang Dong'er felt a gaze fall on her again. She thought it would be Ning Tian, the team leader, but it turned out to be Wu Feng.
Why is Wu Feng looking at me like that? Surely she doesn't have masochistic tendencies too, right?
Wang Dong'er was immediately filled with questions.
"Finally, let's give a warm round of applause to welcome the winning team of this year's freshman assessment!" Du Weilun said, raising his voice slightly.
"First place, Wang Dong'er's team. Team members: Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, Huo Yuhao."
This time, Wang Dong'er was the first to sign up, so Du Weilun didn't need to deliberately misread the order just because Huo Yuhao didn't seem like the captain.
Led by Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao stood close to Wang Dong'er, while Huo Yuhao, a step behind the two, arrived in front of Du Weiren.
"Alright. Now I'll announce the rewards for the top three teams in this year's freshman assessment. First, they will all receive the same reward," Du Weiren said. "Next, whenever anyone needs a spirit ring, they can request one from the academy, which will assist them in obtaining the most suitable spirit ring that they can handle."
"In addition, given the performance and undefeated record of Wang Dong'er's team throughout the entire freshman assessment process, the college will also give them a special reward."
As he spoke, Du Weilun turned to look at Wang Dong'er and said, "After the class assignments are completed, you will come with me to collect that special reward."
Next, the nine people returned to the new student group. After another round of platitudes, Du Weilun began to announce the list of core disciples.
The previously noisy group of new students immediately quieted down.
The list of core disciples is not limited to the top three teams. Anyone with outstanding performance and good results has the opportunity to become a core disciple.
Du Weilun opened the folder he always carried and read out the names one by one: "After reviewing the freshmen's performance in the assessment, the academy has decided that the core disciples of this year's freshmen assessment are as follows: Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, Ning Tian, Wu Feng, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Xie Huanyue, Zhou Sichen, Cao Jinxuan, Lan Susu, and Lan Luoluo."
Huo Yuhao's name did not appear until the entire list was read.
Although he had already been demystified by Shrek Academy under Wang Dong'er's guidance, Huo Yuhao was still stunned for a moment.
Both Tang Ya and Bei Bei have stated unequivocally that the team that wins first place in the freshman assessment will definitely receive a spot as a core disciple.
But now, he's not inside.
Since his mother's death, Huo Yuhao has been diligently cultivating with the thought of avenging her death, and has never slacked off.
However, after a long and arduous journey to Shrek City, he learned that if he hadn't met Tang Ya, he wouldn't have been able to enroll in Shrek Academy.
If Wang Dong'er hadn't pointed it out, he might have been tricked to death by Zhou Yi.
And then there's Ma Xiaotao's madness, and the attitude of Shrek Academy's higher-ups...
Now, even though he is a member of the top-ranked team in the freshman assessment, he has not been included in the list of core disciples. Du Weilun is almost saying outright that his talent is too poor, and that it is more difficult for a spirit-type martial soul to obtain a spirit ring than an ordinary martial soul, so he is not qualified to receive the rights under the rules.
Huo Yuhao had always harbored a resentment in his heart, which he vented a little during his battle with Dai Huabin, but it was still accumulating inside him.
Now, with Du Weiren's "help," Huo Yuhao's murderous aura can no longer be concealed.
Wang Dong'er coughed lightly and flicked her fingers, and a surge of light pulled Huo Yuhao back from the brink of going berserk.
Huo Yuhao's eyes cleared instantly. He glanced at Wang Dong'er with a hint of gratitude before taking a few deep breaths to calm himself down.
If it were the original Huo Yuhao, he might have already started brainwashing himself by now.
But after the demystification of Shrek Academy was dispelled, Huo Yuhao's disappointment only deepened.
He came to Shrek Academy hoping it would teach him to become strong and have the ability to take revenge, but now he only sees a makeshift troupe.
