Douluo: Starting by Taking Control of the Holy Ghost Cult's Saintess

Shrek Outer Court, New Student Class One.

After Zhou Yi finished explaining the key points of the new student assessment, she picked up a pre-prepared list and announced, "Next, we will begin grouping you for the new student assessment. First group: Cao Jinxuan, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao."

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao stood up at the same time. They had originally planned to be in a group together, but when they actually heard Zhou Yi personally group them, they still couldn't help but show looks of pleasant surprise. However, a question arose in their minds at the same time: who was this Cao Jinxuan?

And the other member Zhou Yi assigned to their group was a new student transferred from Class Ten, Cao Jinxuan.

Cao Jinxuan stood up upon hearing his name. He was a handsome boy with dashing golden hair, his face full of rebellious arrogance. The pride in his eyes was even greater than Wang Dong's.

"You must be Cao Jinxuan, right?" Zhou Yi pushed up her glasses and looked at him. "Come over and get to know your teammates."

"Wang Dong."

"Xiao Xiao."

Seeing Wang Dong and the other greet him, Cao Jinxuan just nodded and didn't say much.

"This guy is so arrogant!" Seeing this, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but lean over to Wang Dong's ear and complain in a low voice.

"Second group..." Zhou Yi clearly wasn't going to give them time to get to know each other deeply right now and continued to read the prepared list.

Zhou Yi did have a certain ability. She seemed domineering, but after her group suggestions were announced, every student felt a sense of relief.

Many of the new students observed carefully and were secretly filled with admiration. Don't be fooled by this Teacher Zhou's usual cold face and extreme strictness. In reality, she understood every student very well. The way she grouped them clearly had its own arrangement.

"Alright, that's it. If you have any objections, bring them up quickly. Go back and I'll give you a day to consider. The other classes are also forming groups now, but they are definitely not as fast as us. Let them dawdle. Hand me the papers you have, and then you can be dismissed. After you go back, all of you get a good rest. No one is allowed to mess around everywhere. For the new student assessment that starts tomorrow, the final result I want is for all twenty-two of your groups to advance. If anyone is eliminated, not only will you have to pack up and leave, but I will also leave you with some deep memories."

Looking at the sudden, chilling glint in Zhou Yi's eyes, every student couldn't help but shiver. There was no doubt that the memories Zhou Yi left behind would probably be nightmares.

For a time, the entire New Student Class One was suddenly filled with a murderous aura. Even if it was just to avoid being tortured by this Teacher Zhou, they had to desperately pass the assessment!

"Cao Jinxuan, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, the three of you stay behind."

The other students handed in the white papers with their future cultivation inclinations written on them and then left the classroom one by one to go back to their dormitories, leaving only Wang Dong's group of three.

Zhou Yi's eyes moved slightly. Recently, she had also learned about the situation in the other new student classes. After a moment of thought, she said, "Although the new student assessment is only your first assessment in Shrek Academy, it is very important for your future. Only by getting a good ranking in the new student assessment can you receive the academy's full support. In our class, I am most optimistic about the three of you. Needless to say, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, you both have talent and strength that surpass other students. As for Cao Jinxuan, although your cultivation is not as good as Wang Dong's, you have a top-tier tool martial soul whose rarity is not inferior to Wang Dong's Radiant Butterfly Goddess. The abilities of the three of you, without considering your second martial souls, are inherently complementary."

"I am now giving you a mission. In the new student assessment, you have only one goal, and that is the championship. If you can't bring back the championship, the three of you can just wait to follow me in hell training!"

"Teacher Zhou, what is the tool martial soul you mentioned for Cao Jinxuan? Is he also a twin-soul master?" Xiao Xiao asked curiously.

"It's better to let him show you himself," Zhou Yi was clearly very optimistic about this new student named Cao Jinxuan. She stepped aside to make way for him.

Facing the gazes of the three, Cao Jinxuan stood firmly in the middle without any hesitation. Two perfectly matched yellow soul rings rose up, and his entire body exuded a layer of distorted light. Even when viewed up close, he would appear blurry. And right above his head, an exquisite clock quietly rose.

The entire clock was in the shape of a city gate arch, round on top and square on the bottom. The white body of the clock was about half a meter high, and the dial inside was circular. Below it, a pendulum engraved with golden patterns swung gently. And after this clock appeared, Cao Jinxuan's two hundred-year soul rings seemed to treat it as a part of his body, including it in their up-and-down rhythm.

"The Time Elapsing Clock?" Wang Dong thought carefully for a moment, then his face showed a look of shock, and he couldn't help but blurt out.

"That's right. Cao Jinxuan is an extremely powerful time-type control-type battle soul master. His martial soul is precisely the Time Elapsing Clock, which is as rare as your Radiant Butterfly Goddess," Zhou Yi pushed up her glasses and explained.

"My second martial soul is a symbiotic body-type martial soul. It's not usually visible. It's called 'Stand.' It can be used simultaneously without switching and has powerful high-speed offensive and defensive capabilities," Cao Jinxuan's tone was unavoidably a little smug. (TLNote: Hmmmm…Very sus)

"All three of you are Soul Grandmasters with twin martial souls. The advantages of twin martial souls go without saying, so the three of you can also be considered as three three-ring soul masters. That's why I gave you the requirement of winning the championship," Zhou Yi continued. "Among your opponents in this assessment, there are also a few teams you need to watch out for."

"Is Teacher Zhou talking about the team with the only Soul Ancestor among all the new students?" Xiao Xiao thought for a moment and asked. Currently, Xie Huanyue's soul power level was the absolute number one among the new students and was already well-known throughout the entire outer court.

"Yes. It's said that his two companions are not too strong. One, although a three-ring Soul Elder, for some reason only has the weakest ten-year soul rings, and his body may have been hollowed out by wine and women, so he's not to be feared. The other is an ordinary two-ring Soul Grandmaster," Zhou Yi analyzed. "All three of you have twin martial souls. As long as you can deal with his companions at the fastest speed, it's not impossible for a three-on-one to succeed."

"And next, I need to mention another team that has a level thirty-seven Soul Elder. Although his teammates are also just two two-ring soul masters, they can use a martial soul fusion skill with the combat power of a Soul King!"

"A martial soul fusion skill?" The three of them showed looks of shock on their faces upon hearing this not-so-unfamiliar term. After all, the power of a martial soul fusion skill was not as simple as one plus one on the surface.

"I've heard of that team. It's the second son of the Star Luo Empire's White Tiger lineage and his fiancée," Cao Jinxuan had clearly done his homework on the new student teams. "If I'm not mistaken, their martial soul fusion skill is the Nether White Tiger, the same as Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing from the original seven monsters ten thousand years ago."

Hearing the words "Nether White Tiger," even someone as proud as Wang Dong couldn't help but feel their heart grow heavy. Once this martial soul fusion skill was used, the entire new student team would be swept away in an instant.

"That's why I specifically pulled Cao Jinxuan, with his Time Elapsing Clock martial soul, into our class," a strange smile rose on Zhou Yi's aged face. "As long as we find a way to prevent them from fusing, we still have a chance of winning!"

"Teacher Zhou, are you saying..." Wang Dong seemed to have guessed something and couldn't help but speak up.

"That's right. The most powerful control ability of my Time Elapsing Clock is—Time Slow, or even Time Stop!" Cao Jinxuan raised his chin smugly. "As long as we can defeat one of them in the fastest time, the scales of victory will naturally tip in our favor!"

"Alright!" Wang Dong was instantly excited. This new companion was undoubtedly a godsend for their team. He was the first to extend his hand to Cao Jinxuan.

Xiao Xiao smiled brightly and placed her hand on top as well. Cao Jinxuan immediately followed.

"We want the championship!"

Zhou Yi looked at the two of them, full of confidence, and a gratified smile finally appeared on her aged face. In her view, as long as the three of them cooperated properly, winning the championship was like taking something out of her pocket.

However, her thoughts were beautiful, but reality was cruel. Not just them, but the analysis of many other new students on Xie Huanyue's team was biased and flawed...

Shrek Inner Court.

As Zhou Yi had said, Huo Yuhao was indeed indulging in wine and women. He was taken by Ma Xiaotao back to her residence in the inner court. The moment the two entered the room, they embraced and kissed passionately.

The charm of the Sinful Desire Demonic Phoenix was not the least bit weaker than Cui Yejie's Nine-Tailed Sage Fox. Not only could it arouse the most primal desires in a person, but it could also bring about a leap in one's own soul power cultivation through physical union.

Ma Xiaotao was crazy. The upper half of Huo Yuhao's body was visibly covered in countless scratch marks. They made up for the regrets of that night in the Tsukuyomi space, deeply entangled together.

"Mmm, ahhh..." Ma Xiaotao moaned continuously. Only now could she be considered a true woman. The rich life energy emanating from Huo Yuhao's entire body made her feel as if she had ascended. Her already rapidly progressing soul power rose to another level at this moment.

However, Ma Xiaotao was, after all, truly experiencing this for the first time. By the fourth time with Huo Yuhao, she was the first to be unable to take it anymore. This left the still-unsatisfied Huo Yuhao with no choice but to begrudgingly end this hearty battle.

I didn't go back tonight. I suppose Ning Tian and the other two girls won't mind, right? Huo Yuhao thought to himself, holding Ma Xiaotao's delicate body.

"Yuhao, good luck tomorrow..." Ma Xiaotao's forehead was already drenched in sweat. Her eyes were hazy as she lay limp on his chest. Remembering that Huo Yuhao still had the new student assessment tomorrow, she subconsciously cheered him on.

Isn't it just a steamroll? Huo Yuhao compared the combat power of both sides. It seemed Xie Huanyue alone could take on most of the teams. He and Cui Yejie would at most be slacking off in the back.

"Mmm, I will," Huo Yuhao ultimately replied softly. As long as a certain God-King didn't use his divine power to unfairly interfere, his Team Shi-Hi-Kai could not lose the new student assessment.

It was also very late. Huo Yuhao pulled the blanket over their two bodies and slowly entered dreamland. The Power of HaoDong circulated, and a massive amount of life energy uncontrollably surged towards the two of them.

Ma Xiaotao finally experienced the pleasure that Ning Tian and the other two girls had been enjoying for the past few months. The negative-distance contact directly raised her soul power by one level tonight...
