Because a large number of students were eliminated by Yuwentuo, the maze began to shrink rapidly.
Soon, the only remaining ten people gathered in the center of the competition venue.
Yuwentuo smiled slightly. "This way, doesn't the venue look much cleaner?"
"Tuo Tuo!" Xiaoxiao cheerfully pounced over. "You're too amazing! I was almost eliminated just now."
"Xiaoxiao, from now on, just hide behind me!" Yuwentuo raised his saber and then looked at the others.
Everyone became vigilant. Even the several Soul Ancestors with four rings looked at Yuwentuo with extreme apprehension.
"Hey, hey, hey, this guy is looking over here. What should we do? Start fighting?" Xu Sanshi asked nervously.
Bei Bei shook his head. "Not necessarily."
Jiang Nannan said, "That's right, not necessarily. In this assessment, seven people ultimately need to remain. Now there are only ten left, which means only three more need to be eliminated."
Her idea was to ally with Yuwentuo. At that time, the three strongest from their outer courtyard, along with Yuwentuo, would have no chance of losing.
"Eldest Senior Brother!" Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong entered the central area from another passage.
Bei Bei was overjoyed to see this. "Little Junior Brother, it's great that you're alright."
"Phew, I was scared to death just now. If it weren't for Yuhao's Ultimate Ice, we'd all be done for," Wang Dong said with lingering fear. "This Yuwentuo is simply a madman. I don't know how his fire attacks can be so strong. The temperature clearly didn't reach the level of Ultimate Fire, yet it contains extreme aggressiveness."
"Roar!" Following a tiger's roar, a Nether White Tiger leaped in.
It was Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu. Dai Huabin's expression was very grim at this moment. Only so few people were left, but neither Huo Yuhao's side nor Yuwentuo's side got along with him.
Comparatively, he detested Huo Yuhao more. After all, in his heart, Yuwentuo was a strong individual. Although he had defeated him repeatedly, he had always won fair and square. But this Huo Yuhao, in his heart, was just someone who relied on women.
He relied on Wang Dong in the freshman tournament, relied on Zhou Yi to become class president after entering the class, and now, in this core disciple assessment, he was definitely going to rely on his Eldest Senior Brother Bei Bei again.
This kind of person should be eliminated.
"Yuwentuo, Huo Yuhao's side has five people, and three of them are Soul Ancestors. That saber strike of yours just now was indeed incredibly powerful, but your soul power consumption must also be significant, right? How about teaming up with me? My Nether White Tiger combined with your saber will surely be able to take them down," Dai Huabin suggested.
"Junior Brother Yuwen, don't listen to him. Compared to teaming up with him, wouldn't it be better to team up with us? For the core disciple selection, only the top seven are needed. Our side has five people, plus you and Xiaoxiao, making exactly seven. Why should we fight amongst ourselves and let others take advantage?" Jiang Nannan quickly said. This girl, from a commoner background, understood better how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages in order to survive.
"I'm not interested in cooperating with either of you!" Yuwentuo decisively refused and looked at Huo Yuhao. "You must really want to have a showdown with Dai Huabin, right? You drew last time, you must be very unconvinced. Today is another good opportunity. You two fight, I won't interfere."
"Many thanks!" Huo Yuhao said gratefully. He had been thinking this for a long time.
Dai Huabin was one of the main culprits responsible for his mother's death. With such a good opportunity, how could he vent the hatred in his heart if he didn't teach him a good lesson?
Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi looked at each other and nodded. This was also good. It didn't matter if Yuwentuo didn't cooperate with them; as long as he wasn't an enemy, it was enough. With the three senior brothers here holding the line, could Huo Yuhao still lose to Dai Huabin?
At this moment, Yuwentuo's gaze turned towards the wall behind. "Come out. My real target is you. Please have a showdown with me."
The person hiding behind the wall was He Caitou.
Even Dai Huabin at least had Zhu Lu as a helper, but he was truly isolated and helpless.
Huo Yuhao had a good relationship with him, but Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and the others had no connection with him. He couldn't guarantee they wouldn't target him.
Hearing Yuwentuo's voice, He Caitou knew he couldn't hide anymore. He could only walk out and say, "Classmate Yuwen, have I offended you in any way?"
"Not at all. If I must find an excuse on the surface, it's that you eliminated my friend, so I'm avenging him. However, I'm not actually angry. After all, Jinxuan being eliminated by you only means his skills were inferior. You are opponents; it's perfectly natural for you to eliminate him in the Soul Dueling Arena," Yuwentuo said.
He Caitou sighed. "Hehe, you're really frank. It seems your true thoughts are probably the same as mine. Classmate Yuwen, I don't know why, but as soon as I see you, I feel uneasy all over!"
"That's right, I feel the same way. So... Second Soul Skill, Starfire Spanning the Sky!"
After speaking, Yuwentuo stepped with Fire Walking Steps, spread his Flame Wings, and instantly rushed in front of He Caitou. The Blazing Saber Art was grand and majestic, not inferior in the slightest to his fourth-rank fixed soul cannon.
"No good, this person is too fast, and his attack power is too strong. I don't even have a chance to deploy my soul tools!" He Caitou was helpless. Not counting his identity as a soul engineer, purely as a soul master, he was a food-type soul master.
Although he did indeed have another combat-type martial soul, due to personal reasons, he had never cultivated that martial soul.
A food-type soul master being closed in on by a super-strong assault-type like Yuwentuo, the result was obvious.
"I surrender!" He Caitou decisively gave up. Actively surrendering was better than losing the match after being injured.
Yuwentuo hadn't intended to truly harm He Caitou, only to eliminate him. Since the other party surrendered, he also stopped his attack.
Seeing this, Qian Duoduo sighed, both angry and relieved.
Angry that their Soul Engineering Department's only senior student was eliminated by Yuwentuo just like that; relieved that Yuwentuo had shown restraint and hadn't injured anyone.
"Senior He!" Huo Yuhao actually really wanted to help He Caitou, but Bei Bei held his shoulder.
Bei Bei shook his head at him.
Yuwentuo hadn't intended to harm anyone; this outcome was already very good. If they intervened, it would be tantamount to pushing Yuwentuo to the opposing side.
Now, as long as they took down Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu, it would be equivalent to winning this core disciple assessment. There was no need for further complications.
Huo Yuhao could only suppress his unwillingness and turn his attention to dealing with Dai Huabin.
He didn't let Bei Bei help him, but instead, he and Wang Dong together faced Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's Nether White Tiger.
"Withering in Splendor, Golden Road!"
"Nether White Tiger Break!"
This was a clash of Martial Soul Fusion Skills. In the original work, these two Martial Soul Fusion Skills were stopped just before they made contact, but now, there was no one to intervene.
The two powerful forces finally collided head-on.
"What a formidable Martial Soul Fusion Skill! The Nether White Tiger unleashed by Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu is a fusion skill passed down in the Dai and Zhu families for ten thousand years. When they use it, its power already far surpasses that of a Soul Ancestor. But against Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's Golden Road, it actually can't gain any advantage, and is even gradually losing ground. It seems they are going to lose," Xuan Zi judged.
As he expected, the compatibility of the Nether White Tiger was indeed very high, but it was still far inferior to Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's Golden Road, because that was an unprecedented 100% compatibility fusion skill.
In the end, the entire Nether White Tiger was sealed by the Golden Road. Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu were eliminated.
With this, the core disciple assessment ended.
The seven winners were Yuwentuo, Xiaoxiao, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, Huo Yuhao, and Wang Dong.
Yuwentuo was also about to become one of the temporary Shrek Seven Devils.
To be honest, he didn't want this title at all; its taste was truly not good.
Fortunately, he would soon be able to complete his plan and leave Shrek Academy, and he would take Xiaoxiao with him.
At that time, whoever wanted those two vacant spots could have them!
