ALL NOVEL Chapter 73: Chapter 73
**Chapter 73**
Jing Hongchen understood through these confrontations that merely talking would not allow him to outmatch Yan Shaozhe. So, he decided to give up looking for faults.
He continued to watch the screen.
At this moment, the screen displayed:
[After taking the soul-raising pill, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong quickly returned to class.]
[For the following period, there were no special events.]
[Huo Yuhao diligently studied and practiced hard at Shrek Academy.]
[Although his talent is relatively poor at the moment, he is indeed putting in significant effort.]
[As a result, his strength has increased considerably due to this dedication.]
Jing Hongchen remarked, "Not bad. Although Huo Yuhao's talent in the original timeline is much weaker than that of his parallel self, at least he knows how to work hard. So, his pace of improvement is commendable."
Du Bu Si mused, "What surprises me is that if he continues to improve at this rate, the original Huo Yuhao won't achieve the same level of success later on. Could it be that he has some opportunities awaiting him?"
Du Bu Si voiced his thoughts. He knew that Huo Yuhao would become exceptionally powerful in the original timeline, leaving him puzzled. If Huo Yuhao maintained his current growth rate, he would never reach the heights that Du Bu Si was familiar with.
What happened to Huo Yuhao after that?
For now, the original Huo Yuhao was not taken seriously by Shrek Academy, leading Du Bu Si to wonder when they would start recognizing Huo Yuhao's potential.
"Alas, he is still too weak," Huo Yuhao sighed to himself.
In the past, when comparing himself with his parallel counterpart, he might not have held himself to such high standards. He had been content with his efforts, believing he was doing his best.
However, after this comparison, Huo Yuhao realized that while he had tried hard, he had used some ineffective methods—essentially, he had practiced blindly without understanding which techniques would optimize his training.
His parallel self had taught him more than once that there was a better way to train.
Now, having reflected on these realizations, he recognized the mistakes he had made in the past.
Consequently, Huo Yuhao felt a strong need to implement more changes. Once this matter concluded, he planned to study the techniques and cultivation methods from his parallel counterpart to grow stronger.
Meanwhile, on the screen:
[The timeline reached the moment of the freshman competition.]
[Once the freshman competition was confirmed, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao were divided into groups to participate.]
[All three were now quite strong and considered among the upper echelon of the participating teams.]
[More importantly, Huo Yuhao's soul skills, such as spirit detection and spirit sharing, were remarkable!]
[While these skills could also be useful in one-on-one combat, their true effectiveness shone in team battles.]
[They essentially provided the team with a "God's perspective."]
[Because of this, all team members, under the influence of Huo Yuhao's abilities, could easily dodge attacks and identify opponents' weaknesses—effectively doubling their combat efficiency.]
[This allowed them to breeze through the first few matches, culminating in their victory over Ning Tian, the young master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.]
Ning Rongrong commented, "It seems that this million-year soul ring is truly powerful. I didn't expect even our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Tower couldn't overcome him."
Oscar replied, "After all, it's a million-year soul ring. Ning Tian's soul ring is only a few hundred years old—how can it compare?"
Ning Rongrong agreed, "That's right."
Du Bu Si's eyes lit up again. After watching the film for so long, it was only now that Huo Yuhao from the original timeline had made his mark for the first time. Du Bu Si recognized once more how powerful the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul was.
Du Bu Si remarked, "The Spirit Eyes can be considered one of the top original martial souls."
Pondering this, he felt even more excited about the movie, as he realized this freshman competition was an excellent opportunity for the parallel Huo Yuhao to showcase his skills. They had yet to witness any action from him!
[Wang Yan, initially just a referee in Huo Yuhao's examination room, noticed the power of Huo Yuhao's martial soul due to his research into original martial souls.]
[As a result, Wang Yan observed Huo Yuhao's performances and felt he needed to be trained further.]
[He then approached Sea God Island to find Xuan Lao, inviting him to watch the games together.]
[Though Elder Xuan was reluctant at first, he ultimately agreed after Wang Yan's insistence.]
[Now, Elder Xuan had arrived at the scene.]
[He stood beside Wang Yan, watching the new round of matches featuring Huo Yuhao and the others.]
[As always, Huo Yuhao continued to secure victories!]
[After witnessing Huo Yuhao's team win, Wang Yan eagerly asked Elder Xuan, his face full of anticipation:]
["Elder Xuan, what do you think?"]
[However, Elder Xuan's response was somewhat unexpected.]
[He simply shook his head coolly and spoke to Wang Yan.]
["What do you think? Just Huo Yuhao? I consider them just average."]
["He seems to be just a lazy guy, only able to reach this point because of his two teammates!"]
["Without his two teammates, I believe he would have been eliminated long ago."]
["Compared to him, his teammates demonstrate much greater promise. I think they are the ones worth training."]
[After some contemplation, Elder Xuan shared his perspective.]
[Clearly, he didn't hold Huo Yuhao in high regard.]
[In his eyes, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were far more deserving of training than Huo Yuhao, which he stated without hesitation.]
In the gap between the planes, after witnessing this exchange, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He recalled some painful memories, specifically, the times when the academy didn't value him.
This had saddened him on more than one occasion.
But Du Bu Si couldn't bear to stay silent.
He couldn't help but taunt in the chat room.
Du Bu Si: "This is against the will of heaven! Truly against the will of heaven! Xuan Zi, donate your eyes if they're useless! You told me that the Spirit Eye martial spirit isn't worth cultivating? You are an idiot!"
