Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 38 Freshman Assessment
Since that day of heart-to-heart talk, the relationship between Xiao Xiao and Yuwen Tuo has become better and better.

They are basically the same, and the only one who can be compared with them is the combination of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.

Three months passed like this, and during these three months, Yuwen Tuo lived a very comfortable life, because the person he hated the most, Ma Xiaotao, had not bothered him for a long time. It seemed that she had reached the bottleneck of level 70 and was in seclusion in order to break through to the Soul Saint level.

In the original novel, she should be around level 66 to 67 at this time. It was no wonder that she had absorbed his soul power for so many years. It was not in vain. She was about to reach the Soul Saint level so soon.

With Ma Xiaotao's talent and the fact that 90% of her evil fire had been removed, Yuwen Tuo estimated that she would become a true Soul Sage before the next Continental Soul Fighting Competition.

The first phase of the freshman class is coming to an end soon. Next up is the freshman assessment phase.

That day, Zhou Yi walked up to the podium and said, "Dear students, it's been three months since the start of school. You will also be facing the first formal assessment of Shrek Academy. Only by passing the assessment can you truly become a Shrek student. As long as you don't make me angry, and if nothing unexpected happens, you won't have to worry about being expelled before the first-year year-end exam. Okay, today I will first teach you the knowledge points of the assessment."

It was rare for Zhou Yi to be so calm. She was actually very satisfied because this batch of students had more students staying than in previous years.

Huo Yuhao, the squad leader, played a very good role as a leader. Although he was not very talented, he was diligent and hardworking.

In addition, there are Wang Dong and Yuwen Tuo, both of whom are prominent figures in the first year of the academy and have also inspired many people.

Zhou Yi now knows that she was wrong. Yuwen Tuo didn't come to class because he gave up on himself, he simply didn't want to go. He must have his own training plan, otherwise his level would not have improved so quickly in the past three months.

Now he has reached the peak of level 24, and in an instant he surpassed Wang Dong, the original number one.

The cultivation speed of the innate level 20 is indeed well-deserved.

"Huo Yuhao!" Zhou Yi shouted.

"is teacher!"

Huo Yuhao walked to the podium and took the stack of papers from Zhou Yi. Without Zhou Yi's instructions, he quickly distributed them to every student in the class.

Zhou Yi said, "After the freshman assessment is over, we will teach students according to their aptitude. Write down the cultivation directions you have planned for the future and give them to me later."

The cultivation directions she was referring to were the categories of spirit masters, such as attack, defense, control, and support. After all, different cultivation directions required different teaching methods, and after actually entering school, there had to be some differentiation to ensure that different types of spirit masters found the correct cultivation method.

Generally speaking, strong attack, agile attack, and defense types of combat soul masters are more common. For example, Yuwen Tuo and Wang Dong are definitely strong attack types.

Auxiliary and control are relatively rare. There are only three people in this freshman class who are developing towards the control department: Huo Yuhao, Xiao Xiao, and a person named Cao Jinxuan.

Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao is now in a difficult situation. He didn't receive the two Mysterious Water Pills from Bei Bei as in the original novel. Since Ma Xiaotao's evil fire had already been 90% dispelled, the attack never occurred. Ma Xiaotao and Huo Yuhao didn't even know each other, so naturally, the academy didn't compensate Huo Yuhao with the Soul Ascension Pills. The only thing he received was a Mysterious Water Pill that Bei Bei later asked her family to send someone to the Xuanming Sect to obtain.

This also resulted in him not having the seventeenth-level soul power in the original novel, but only the fourteenth level, which did not even meet the Shrek admission standards, and it was very difficult for him to take the freshman assessment.

But he couldn't just give up, he had to insist on participating. He couldn't just be kicked out of Shrek Academy like this.

Zhou Yi said, "You are all students in my class. Although you will be divided into different classes after the freshman assessment, I may not be your homeroom teacher anymore. But I hope you little brats will not forget what I taught you. Please hand in your cultivation directions after class. Now listen carefully."

As he spoke, Zhou Yi turned and walked towards the blackboard, drew a few simple lines on it, and wrote the two big words "battle".

"Listen carefully, these two words are the key points of the freshman assessment. Actual combat is the best standard to test everything. Everyone must participate in the battle. Whether it's a combat spirit master or a support spirit master, there are no exceptions!"

"The most important thing for Shrek Academy to cultivate talents is to develop their ability to go on the battlefield."

"Of course, you can rest assured about one thing. The academy will not let auxiliary spirit masters fight against strong attack spirit masters. That would be unfair to the auxiliary department."

"The freshman assessment will be conducted in a team battle format. However, the number of participants will not be too large. Teams will consist of three, and you will cooperate with each other. This is determined by the academy. At your age, you are capable of achieving a high level of cooperation. There is also a rule that when dividing into teams, each team can only have one offensive-type spirit master. The other two members are not restricted. Generally, dormitory students will be considered first to form a team, and the third person will be freely formed by you. If a team still cannot be formed by the assessment day, the decision will be made by drawing lots. I will give you suggestions later on which of you would be most suitable to form a team."

Afterwards, Zhou Yi gave a brief description of the rules for the freshman assessment.

The freshman assessment was conducted uniformly across the entire grade. Nearly three hundred teams participated, but only half, or about one hundred and fifty, remained. This ranking was the battle order. After the one hundred and fifty, the chances of elimination were high, while after the two hundredth, it was time to pack up.

The competition will be drawn by lot, and the round-robin tournament will be played for ten games. The final ranking will be determined by wins.

The top 64 teams advance to the knockout rounds, and the top four teams in the knockout rounds will receive different awards from the academy. The awards for the champion teams over the years have always been very valuable.

Every student listened intently. For them, the freshman assessment was the moment that determined their fate. If they were eliminated, they would return home dejected and find a regular college. After three months of hard work, no one wanted to give up at this moment.

Zhou Yi said calmly, "There are currently sixty-eight people in our class, which can be divided into twenty-two groups, with some extra. I've already categorized you according to your respective martial spirit characteristics and completed the groupings for you. If anyone is dissatisfied, you can discuss it among yourselves after returning. Report to me tomorrow morning. If no one raises any objections, then you must strictly follow my arrangements. Otherwise, you all know the consequences."

After saying that, Zhou Yi announced the groups she had divided the students into one by one.

When it was time to report to Huo Yuhao's group, it was Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao.
