Since Du Bu Si had already spoken to this point, Huo Yuhao didn't act coy and nodded in agreement.
Several people were shocked. What did they just hear? The young master had broken through to Soul Emperor again? When did that happen? And, wasn't the young master only thirteen years old?
Damn it, a thirteen-year-old Soul Emperor? That's never happened in history before! Forget thirteen-year-old Soul Emperors, there haven't even been thirteen-year-old Soul Kings.
Shock, followed by numbness. Now they felt that nothing that happened to Huo Yuhao would be surprising anymore.The next day, the disciples of the Ben Ti Sect received a notice from the higher-ups: the young sect leader, Huo Yuhao, had entered the Elder Hall and became the eleventh elder. Moreover, he would soon select one person from within the sect to be his personal disciple.
A competition would be held at the martial arts field tomorrow, and the young sect leader would choose one person from the top twenty to take as his disciple.
Upon hearing this news, many were stunned. After the initial shock, they were dismissive. How old is the young sect leader? Yes, we acknowledge your genius, but being a genius and being a qualified teacher are two different things.The latter requires the accumulation of knowledge, strength, and time. How old is the young sect leader? He's teaching others before he's even learned properly himself. Isn't this a joke?
But some people are sober-minded, because they know that you can't get into the elders' council just based on your identity; nepotism doesn't work there.
But many people are still tempted. Regardless, Huo Yuhao becoming an elder is already a fact, and if they can become disciples under an elder, even if nothing else, the cultivation resources they receive will be far better than those of ordinary disciples.The next day, thirty-four disciples stood neatly in the training field. These thirty-odd people ranged in age from six to ten years old. The sun was shining brightly, and the faces of the thirty-odd children were filled with the unique vitality of that age.
Body-type martial souls were already rare, and it was not easy to have thirty-four people. Most of these were discovered by Body Sect disciples traveling abroad and brought back to the sect, and some were simply the offspring of Body Sect disciples.
Around a hundred people watched. Most of these people were older and did not meet Huo Yuhao's standards for accepting disciples. Several elders and grand elders were also present.At this moment, Huo Yuhao, as the protagonist, also stepped forward. He took a step and came to the front of several elders, looking at the thirty-odd disciples, and began his pre-competition speech in a loud voice.
Basically, it was thanking the heavens, thanking the earth, thanking the Sect Master, thanking the sect, then looking back on the past, looking forward to the future, and hoping that the Body Sect would create new glories.
After that, the thirty-odd disciples were divided into three groups. The first group was the smallest, with only three people, two men and one woman. All three of them were Rank 2 Great Soul Masters.
The second group were all Rank 1 Soul Masters, totaling eleven people.
Finally, the third group were all those who had awakened their martial souls.But there were no Soul Scholars who had obtained Soul Rings.
The large training field was quickly divided into ten competition areas. Participating disciples determined their opponents by drawing lots, but the three batches of disciples were separated, so there would be no situations where a Great Soul Master faced a Soul Master, or a Soul Scholar faced a one-ring Soul Master.
This was because Huo Yuhao wanted to see the comprehensive abilities of these people through the competition, and then select those with good talent and who looked pleasing to the eye, rather than simply a one-sided slaughter.
The competition started quickly. Each competition area had a Soul Saint as a referee, also to prevent accidents, lest these little guys really hurt themselves.During the competition, the use of soul tools and the power of the Bright World is prohibited. However, after stepping off the field, one may use the Bright World to restore their own soul power.
Huo Yuhao watched the entire match, and to be honest, it was quite boring. The little ones couldn't use their soul skills many times, appearing very immature. Those without soul rings could only rely on their hands and feet to compete, much like in mixed martial arts or wrestling.
However, Huo Yuhao did notice a familiar face, Su Shan'er, the little girl who survived the massacre of her village by evil soul masters and awakened her own body's martial soul.
This little girl was quite impressive in the competition, winning all three of her matches.This competition is not a qualifying or elimination match. Everyone needs to compete in three matches, and the referees and Huo Yuhao will record their performances based on their results.
After lunch, the three matches were completed, but this was only the first segment. The thirty-four disciples, having fully recovered, gathered again at the martial arts field, ready to face the challenges of the second segment.
"Attention everyone, the next is the second segment. Unlike before, those who do not pass the second segment will be eliminated. The specific details cannot be disclosed. Now, all participating disciples should stand five meters apart from each other, and all unrelated personnel should step back.An elder directed thirty-four disciples to spread out and then asked the surrounding spectators to step back a bit. After completing these tasks, the elder turned his gaze towards Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao nodded, then took a step forward, instantly appearing above the martial arts field. Immediately, the area where the thirty-four competing disciples were located was tinged with a shade of red, as if the entire space had been dyed crimson.
At this moment, the thirty-four disciples displayed a variety of expressions on their faces. Some merely frowned slightly, others looked terrified, and some even suddenly burst into tears.A clamor arose from the surrounding people. What was happening? Had she gone mad? Some clever people quickly guessed that it must be related to the red mist enveloping them.
At this moment, Susan's petite body trembled incessantly. She pleaded, begged repeatedly, and cried her heart out, but to no avail. No one pitied her. She watched helplessly as the villagers fell one by one, her sister's heart being ripped out.
She remembered the look her sister gave her before she died: powerless, painful, and desperate.She didn't know when the demons had left. She held her sister's cold body, staring blankly at the hollowed-out chest. She wanted to cry, but her tears had long since dried up, and her throat was hoarse and aching.
In a daze, a childhood friend from the village pulled her into a house...
No, I can't be like this. This is the test the sect has given me. I must become stronger, I must avenge my sister! Su Shan'er suddenly startled, then woke up. She looked around, realizing she was still on the training ground. What was that scene just now? And what was the situation with her fellow disciples, each with expressions of either calm or pain?Seeming to sense someone watching her, Su Sanner looked up and saw Huo Yuhao floating in mid-air, and he seemed to be paying attention to her.
"Young Master," Su Sanner murmured. She remembered clearly that it was that beautiful sister and the Young Master who had helped her awaken her martial soul, making her realize that she was not a useless person without a martial soul, and it was because of this that she saw the hope of revenge.About half an hour later, Huo Yuhao retracted his Demon-Severing Domain. By then, only fifteen people were still standing on the field, among whom three had a vacant stare, appearing utterly dazed, as if they were under some evil spell.
The rest had collapsed to the ground, their eyes filled with various negative emotions such as fear, sorrow, and anger.
Huo Yuhao flew back to his original spot and glanced at the elder from before. Understanding his intention, the elder stepped onto the training ground and instructed people to help the disciples who had collapsed on the ground to leave. The three disciples who were still standing but had a vacant stare were also eliminated."Now, you have half an hour to recover. The third and final stage of the assessment will begin in half an hour."
Hearing this, the disciples quickly sat down to recover, some replenishing their soul power, others closing their eyes to calm their emotions.
