Peerless Tang Sect: Hurricane Infinite Wind

Chapter 58 Upgrade Assessment
When Wu Xuan and his classmates were promoted from first grade to second grade, their teaching building was also changed. It was no longer the original white building for first graders, but a yellow building for second and third graders.

When Wu Xuan and his companions entered the classroom, most of the classmates were already there. When they saw Wu Xuan coming in, they all quickly extended their hands to greet him.

"Squad leader, here I come."

"Hello, monitor."

"Monitor, long time no see."

"Dear classmates, good morning to the new semester!" Unable to resist the enthusiasm of his classmates, Wu Xuan waved his hand helplessly.

Wu Xuan held a high reputation within the group, not only because of his highest cultivation level, but also because he was always fair in his dealings with others. Even high-profile figures like Dai Huabin and Wu Feng wouldn't contradict him.

Return to your seat.

Cao Jinxuan, who was sitting at the front desk, immediately turned around and asked quietly, "Class monitor, you came to school so early to report, but you haven't been here the whole time. What have you been doing these past few days? We asked Teacher Wang, but he wouldn't tell us, acting so mysterious."

Wu Xuan chuckled and said, "I didn't do anything. I just went out for a few days with some senior students from the inner courtyard."

Hearing the word "senior", Zhou Sichen's eyes lit up immediately. He came up to Wu Xuan and asked, "Class monitor, is the inner courtyard senior you're with pretty?"

"Zhou Sichen, could you please stop being so disgusting? The squad leader and I are talking about serious matters!" Cao Jinxuan said with a serious pout.

Zhou Sichen immediately said angrily, "I'm vulgar? You're amazing! You're so noble! Who was it that stayed up last night and insisted on dragging me along to discuss which senior student from the outer courtyard had the best figure and was the most beautiful?"

"You're talking nonsense! We live in the same dormitory. Why didn't I hear anyone come over to talk to you about this last night?!" Cao Jinxuan blushed and retorted weakly.

"You didn't hear it? Then do you want me to tell everyone about that person's unique insights last night, which were step-by-step, analytical, and sharp." Zhou Sichen said jokingly.

Cao Jinxuan was immediately furious when he heard this. "Zhou Sichen, you want to die? Pay me back! When are you going to pay me back the two hundred gold soul coins you owe me? You owe me money and you slander me everywhere. Pay it back now, nine out of ten!"

"Ah! I forgot." Zhou Sichen's face suddenly changed, and he said to Cao Jinxuan in a flattering manner, "Brother Cao, look, what's the relationship between us brothers? I was just joking just now."

"Give me back the money and stop talking nonsense." Cao Jinxuan jumped up, grabbed Zhou Sichen's neck and shook him hard.

"Let go! Let go quickly! I'm going to die! I'm really going to die!" Zhou Sichen slapped Cao Jinxuan's arm and yelled.

Looking at the two people fighting each other, all the students in the classroom cheered, and some even applauded.

Wu Xuan also smiled sincerely. These two guys, Cao Jinxuan, were really noisy.

"Teacher Wang and the others are here." Xiao Xiao shouted softly, and Cao Jinxuan and Zhou Sichen, who were shouting and fighting in front, stopped their movements immediately, quickly returned to their seats, and sat down obediently.

However, it was not known whether Xiaoxiao suddenly had the ability to predict the future. Before she could make fun of those two, Wang Yan and Mu Jin really walked in from outside.

Zhou Sichen and Cao Jinxuan turned around at the same time to look at Xiaoxiao and gave her a thumbs up.

"This..." Xiao Xiao, who originally wanted to tease them, suddenly felt a little amused.

Wang Yan and Mu Jin were usually very gentle in their teaching, treating every student with great care. Therefore, every student in the class respected the two teachers very much. Almost no one would dare to play around in front of them.

Wang Yan walked quickly to the podium and whispered something to Mu Jin beside him. Then the two teachers nodded at the same time.

Mu Jin stepped forward and looked at Huo Yuhao, who was sitting below, and said calmly, "Student Huo Yuhao, stand up!"

Huo Yuhao stood up after hearing this.

Mu Jin said calmly, "Huo Yuhao! You were late for school this time, and according to the previous rules of the academy, you should be expelled. But now you have become a core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department, and you were late because you were carrying out a mission of the Soul Guidance Department. Teacher Wang and I have negotiated with the Academic Affairs Office, so we will not expel you this time. But there must be a punishment for being late, so we decided to remove your position as deputy monitor and replace you with Cao Jinxuan from the Control Department. Do you have any objections?" Wang Dong was immediately furious and was about to stand up to argue with Mu Jin, but Huo Yuhao held her shoulder in time.

Huo Yuhao clenched his fists and said in a low, difficult voice, "Teacher Mu, I have no objection."

"Okay! If you have no objection, then sit down. Now I will explain to you the second-grade entrance examination." Mu Jin retracted her gaze and said lightly.

"Overall, this entrance examination is relatively easy. Compared to the senior exams, yours will be much easier. The exam content for Class One and Class Two is the same, but Class Three and Class Four will have separate exams due to their own martial spirit abilities."

"Our assessment will be held in the academy's Beast Fighting Area. I'm guessing many of you don't know where it is. Now, let me tell you. The Beast Fighting Area is south of the Soul Fighting Area, within the tall, gray, castle-like walls."

"In the Beast Fighting Area, there are spirit beasts of various ranks that the academy has captured over the years. They are provided specifically for senior students to practice combat. If you are able to advance to the fourth grade in the future, you will also practice in the Beast Fighting Area. The combat classes there will be an important test of your future performance."

"In this upgrade assessment, you will have to fight soul beasts face to face in the beast fighting area. You will also be able to choose the soul beasts you will fight against. Different soul beasts represent different scores. The stronger the soul beast you challenge, the greater the chance of getting a high score in the assessment. The assessment will be scored by senior teachers of the Martial Soul Department. The full score is 100. Those who score 60 points or above can pass the upgrade assessment."

After Mu Jin finished speaking, the students immediately started to discuss in low voices.

After a long while, Wang Yan stepped forward and knocked on the table, saying, "Teacher Mu has explained to you the content and passing criteria for this assessment. I have a few more points to remind you."

"First, don't be too timid. If the soul beast you choose is too weak, even if you defeat it, you may not be able to pass the test."

"Second, don't be reckless. If the soul beast you choose is too powerful, and the invigilator isn't able to rescue you in time during the fight, then the best-case scenario is to let it recuperate for ten days to half a month."

"Third, you must remember that failure in battle doesn't guarantee elimination. If the soul beast you challenge is powerful enough and you perform well in battle, your final score may not be low."

"Furthermore, the assessment standards for control and offensive systems are different. In this one-on-one assessment, the requirements for offensive systems are higher, with the goal being to defeat the soul beast. For control systems, the focus is on controlling the soul beast, with points awarded based on how long you can persist in battle."

Wang Yan explained in detail the details that needed to be paid attention to in this upgrade assessment. He was very dedicated and responsible.

Wu Xuan was almost dozing off while listening.

The upgrade test would take place in the afternoon, so Wang Yan and Mu Jin didn't wait for the bell to ring. They dismissed the get out of class early, telling the students to go back and prepare, getting into peak condition. They would gather in the beast fighting area that afternoon for the test.

Wu Xuan twisted his neck, stood up and prepared to go back to the dormitory for some sleep.

Just as he stood up, Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu happened to pass by Wu Xuan.

Wu Xuan glanced at the two of them. Dai Huabin looked much taller than before, while Zhu Lu, standing behind him, had a more stylish figure.

"Squad leader! I won't lose to you easily this time." Dai Huabin said with a firm look.

"Okay! We'll see how you perform this afternoon." Wu Xuan patted Dai Huabin on the shoulder and couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the two men with intense gazes. Dai Huabin regarded him as a rival to be pursued, but he never took him seriously.

After leaving the classroom, Wu Xuan and Qian Gu Ming were chatting casually when Huo Yuhao suddenly stood in front of Wu Xuan.

"Yuhao! Is there something wrong?" Wu Xuan asked in surprise.

Huo Yuhao's eyes were red as he said, "Wu Xuan! Are we still friends? If you still consider me your friend, then stay away from Dai Huabin. Someone like him is not worthy of being your friend."

Qian Guming on the side looked at Huo Yuhao with a puzzled expression, not understanding why the other party was crazy.

Wu Xuan shook his head calmly and said, "Since he calls me squad leader, I must be fair in my actions. I can't take the lead in isolating him just because of your words."

"Really? Then you are really a good squad leader!" After saying that, Huo Yuhao turned around and left without looking back.
