This was not the first time that Tian Meng urged Huo Yuhao. Every time she mentioned the major plan that could determine the fate of both of them, she could not contain her excitement.
It wasn't just Huo Yuhao who was improving. The other students in the freshman class had also improved to varying degrees. It wasn't that no one had challenged Huo Yuhao again, but they found that they couldn't beat him at all, and in the end everyone was convinced.
Under Zhou Yi's strict teaching of both carrot and stick, the students in the freshman class completely changed. After three months of study, there were only 85 students left in the freshman class, and the dropout rate was similar to that of other classes.
The college's top management was very surprised, but also very satisfied, thinking that Zhou Yi had finally changed his teaching style.
Zhou Yi no longer expelled students at will, but some students who were not strong enough could not pass the most basic assessments, and she could not turn a blind eye. She could only expel them. However, the students who expelled were all convinced and had no dissatisfaction at all.
She stood on the podium, looking at the new spirits of the freshmen class, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
I am no longer so strict, but the teaching results have not declined much. Doesn’t this prove that I was wrong before?
Looking at Huo Yuhao in the middle of the classroom, she sighed and said, "Today's physical training class is suspended. I will tell you about tomorrow's freshman assessment. Tomorrow is your first formal assessment since you entered school. Only if you pass it can you officially become a first-year student."
"The content of the freshman assessment is combat. Every three of you will be divided into a group. There are about three hundred teams in the whole grade, and each team will randomly fight at least ten battles. The half of the teams with the lowest number of wins will be eliminated."
Hearing such a high elimination rate, the students couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Huo Yuhao frowned when he heard this.
A last-in-last elimination system? Half of the people will be eliminated?
"The top 64 teams will then compete in the knockout rounds, and the top four will receive different rewards."
Zhou Yi handed each person a piece of paper and continued, "In order to avoid unfairness in the team, each of you should write down your own training direction. Each team will have at least one person from the Strong Attack Department, and the remaining two people can be from any department. After passing the freshman assessment, you will be re-assigned to a class."
Huo Yuhao finished writing his own branch and submitted it.
"I have already divided you into groups according to the characteristics of your martial spirits, but there is one extra person."
Zhou Yi suddenly called out a name: "Song Qinghan!"
"Here!" a thin student responded.
"As the class teacher, I can directly nominate a student to pass the assessment. I am nominating you to enter the Soul Guidance Department directly. Do you have any objection?"
"No, thank you, Teacher Zhou." Song Qinghan replied.
Huo Yuhao was a little surprised.
If Zhou Yi really had the power, why didn't she nominate him directly? Didn't she want him to enter the Soul Guidance Department from the beginning?
Oddly enough, after the Soul Guidance Department knew of my identity as a first-level soul engineer, they initially wanted to win me over, but after that day, there was no further news.
Even Zhou Yi kept silent about it, as if nothing had happened.
Huo Yuhao always felt that something was wrong here.
“Okay, let’s start dividing into groups. I’ve divided you into 28 teams in total.” Zhou Yi nodded and said, “Group one: Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao.”
"Group 2: ..."
"The third group: ..."
According to the principle of dormitory priority, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were naturally assigned to the same group, and there was another team member who was a pretty girl.
"Okay, that's the general requirement. I hope that everyone in the freshman class can pass the freshman assessment, not for me, but to be worthy of your own efforts."
Seeing Huo Yuhao standing absent-mindedly in the middle of the classroom, Zhou Yi felt mixed emotions.
Huo Yuhao is the student who has impressed her the most in all the years she has taught.
He has strong physical fitness, unique thinking, and knows a lot.
I've never seen him listen seriously to theoretical classes, but he can basically talk about any theory, except for the occasional burst of incomprehensible remarks...
Thinking of this, Zhou Yi said: "Huo Yuhao, tell me, if you were to arrange a team of three, how would you choose the divisions of the three people?"
As soon as she asked this question, the whole class looked at Huo Yuhao curiously.
Huo Yuhao sneered and said, “Teacher Zhou, don’t you know me yet? My answer is of course: three strong attack systems.”
Zhou Yi: “…”
Other students: “…”
Zhou Yisheng held his forehead helplessly: "I knew it..."
The girl named Xiaoxiao seemed to be thinking about something, and lowered her head to change the department she had just written.
"Alright, alright, school is over now. Hand in your papers, and you all go back and get some rest to prepare for the freshman assessment that will start tomorrow."
Zhou Yi waved her hand and dismissed the students in the freshman class.
“Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, the three of you stay for a while.”
The other students handed in their papers and went to work with each other in groups of three. In a blink of an eye, only Huo Yuhao, three students and Zhou Yi were left in the classroom.
Zhou Yi slowly approached, and the malicious smile on her face gave Wang Dong goose bumps all over his body, but Huo Yuhao remained unmoved.
"Ah~ Let me see what departments my good students have chosen~" Zhou Yi said sweetly, but her beautiful face looked very much like her former nickname - perverted old aunt.
She took the white paper from Wang Dong's hand, slapped it on the table, and nodded with satisfaction: "Ah~Strong attack~Not bad~"
She took the white paper from Huo Yuhao's desk and slapped it on the desk. Although she kept smiling, her brows furrowed.
"Ah~ A second strong attack type~ That's great~"
Finally, she took Xiaoxiao's white paper and slammed it on the table. Her forehead was twisted into a knot while she was forcing a smile.
"Ah~ The third strong attack type~ That's wonderful~"
Finally, Zhou Yi couldn't hold it in any longer. The last bit of her smile disappeared. She slapped the table and yelled, "Three strong attackers, are you going to rebel?"
“Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao, your understanding is truly 10,000 years ahead of the spirit master world!”
Zhou Yi was furious, but Huo Yuhao remained expressionless. He said calmly, “Thank you for the compliment, Teacher Zhou, but I think ten thousand years is a little short.”
Zhou Yi: “…”
Seeing Huo Yuhao's shameless admission, Zhou Yi was really annoyed by him. She sat down, took a long breath, and said, "Tell me your reasons."
In her eyes, Huo Yuhao had his own unique twisted logic for everything, which was well-reasoned and irrefutable.
Chapter 52 Xiao Xiao
Huo Yuhao shrugged: "Teacher Zhou, I have told you many times that the strong attack system is invincible."
"Stop, stop, stop—" Zhou Yi interrupted him impatiently, "Since you think three strong attackers are invincible, then let me assume that your opponent is a team like this, with one strong attacker, one defender, and one support. How are you going to deal with it?"
“That’s easy.” Huo Yuhao replied, “Let one person hold down the strong attack type first, and the remaining two people should first deal with the auxiliary, and then use the advantage of numbers to surround and attack the reinforcements.”
Zhou Yi slammed the table and said, "Do you think two strong attackers can easily deal with a defensive system with support? And how can you be sure that the other person can definitely hold back the opponent's strong attacker?"
Huo Yuhao spread his hands and said, “Then it’s not a lineup issue. The difference in hard power cannot be made up by the quality of the lineup.”
"You..." Zhou Yi asked again, "Your team is full of offensive types. What will you do if you encounter a control type? Don't you know that the control type is good against the offensive type?"
"That depends on our coordination. Can one control type beat three attack types? We just need to deal with the most difficult control type at the beginning."
"Go away!" Zhou Yi no longer listened to his twisted reasoning and said impatiently, "Then how do you want to attack? Kick your knees?"
Upon hearing about Huo Yuhao's famous skill, Wang Dong subconsciously touched his knees and took a breath of cool air.
In the past three months, everyone who challenged Huo Yuhao was KOed by his tried-and-true knee-kick. Wang Dong even doubted whether this move was really that effective.
Zhou Yi looked at Xiao Xiao: "Let's not talk about the two of them. Why did you write the offensive department? Didn't you write the control department originally? Why did you change it again?"
Xiao Xiao hesitated and said, "I...I changed it because of what the squad leader said..."
Zhou Yi: “…”
She was really speechless, and said to the two of them: "You two should change it quickly. You can't choose any branch you want. You still have to choose the direction of cultivation according to the characteristics of your martial soul."
"Oh, what era is it still..."
“Change it now!”
"whispering sound."
Huo Yuhao was somewhat dissatisfied, but he still obediently changed to the control system.
Anyway, in his opinion, the nominal divisions are all empty, and in actual combat he can do whatever he wants, right?
On the other side, Xiaoxiao also changed to the control system.
"Control system..." Zhou Yi glanced at Huo Yuhao.
Originally, she thought that Huo Yuhao’s first soul skill was extremely suitable for assistance, but she later discovered that Huo Yuhao could actually use the Demon Eye Martial Soul to emit a power similar to mental shock.
Self-created soul skills? Or innate skills?
However, being a control-type soul master is indeed the most suitable for him.
Zhou Yi ignored Huo Yuhao and looked at Xiao Xiao again: "If I remember correctly, Xiao Xiao, your martial spirit Soul Calming Cauldron should be more auxiliary. Why did you choose control?"
"Teacher Zhou, my Soul-Suppressing Cauldron is a mutated Sansheng Soul-Suppressing Cauldron. It is different from the ordinary Soul-Suppressing Cauldron. It has biases in attack, defense, and assistance."
"That has nothing to do with control..."
"I have another martial soul called Nine Phoenixes Flute, which can assist and control."
"what?!"
Wang Dong also widened his eyes: "Twin martial spirits?"
Huo Yuhao glanced at Wang Dong with disdain.
Look at you, you're so surprised, it's just twin martial spirits, what's so special about it? Hao Ge also has it~
But these two martial spirits are indeed interesting.
Xiao? Ding?
Are you going to kill the immortal?
"I can see that each of you has unique skills." Zhou Yi clapped her hands, "Well, I'll set a goal for you. Not only must you pass the freshman assessment, but you must also win the championship!"
Huo Yuhao suddenly asked back: "Why?"
Zhou Yi looked disappointed: "Huo Yuhao, why do you have so many whys? As a young man, don't you even have the ambition and blood to fight for the first place?"
“Everyone wants to be first, but there is only one first place. How are you going to divide it?” Huo Yuhao looked at her coldly.
"I don't care! If you don't even dare to compete for first place, you might as well drop out of school and go home." Zhou Yi felt his blood pressure was about to rise.
