Peerless Tang Sect: Hurricane Infinite Wind

Chapter 59 Colosseum

Fighting beast area.

As the largest exclusive area in Shrek Academy and the largest building in Shrek Academy, the Beast Fighting Area covers an area as large as all the teaching buildings and dormitories of the Martial Arts Department plus Shrek Square.

Across the Douluo Continent, the ability to raise soul beasts solely through the power of an academy is a rare occurrence. Even the scale of the Shrek Academy's Beast Arena is truly exceptional, a feat not even the royal families of the major empires would undertake.

It is not easy to raise soul beasts in captivity. You have to keep the wildness of soul beasts, and different soul beasts have different eating habits. You also have to ensure safety, and drive the soul beasts. The investment is so huge that ordinary soul master academies dare not even think about it.

All the tax revenue of Shrek City goes to Shrek Academy every year, and one third of this huge amount of money is invested in the Beast Fighting Area. It is conceivable how high the investment required for this Beast Fighting Area is.

New students generally think that the tuition is expensive, but students who have been to the beast fighting area will not have this feeling. Compared with their tuition, the investment of Shrek Academy is like a firefly and a bright moon.

In addition to the tax revenue from Shrek City, another source of income for Shrek Academy comes from the Soul Guidance Department. Every year, the Soul Guidance Department will sell soul guides to the outside world. However, the sales targets are limited to the three empires of Tianhun, Douling, and Xingluo. The Sun and Moon Empire is not included.

Of course, whether the Sun-Moon Empire values ​​Shrek Academy's soul guides is still a matter of debate.

The beast fighting area is mainly divided into two parts. One part cannot be seen by the students, which is the place where spirit beasts are kept in captivity, which is called the animal pen. The other part is the Colosseum.

In addition to the area above ground, the beast enclosure also has a subterranean section. When it was first built, in addition to the craftsmen, over a hundred soul masters collaborated. They used a variety of powerful soul guides to confine the captive soul beasts. Furthermore, the area was constantly guarded by powerful soul masters and soul guides. It's said that there are even ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts kept here.

The Colosseum is a place specially provided for Shrek Academy students to conduct actual combat training and assessment. At this time, the second-year students were entering the Colosseum one after another, preparing to accept their upgrade assessment.

The Colosseum is oval in shape, with a long diameter of 187 meters, a short diameter of 155 meters, and a maximum height of about 57 meters. From the outside, the entire building is divided into four floors, the bottom three floors are arched buildings, and each arch is supported by stone columns on both sides. The fourth floor has wall decorations, and there are four large arches facing the four radii, which are the entrances to the corridors of the Colosseum's internal stands.

The stands inside the Colosseum were divided into four groups, from low to high. Under special circumstances, Shrek Academy would designate specific areas. The entire project was so vast and magnificent that it could only be described as glorious and grand.

This massive arena could accommodate approximately 10,000 spectators, as more space was used for the interior. Like the fighting spirit area, multiple beast fights could be held simultaneously, or a single fight could be held.

After the fourth grade, every class will have at least one Colosseum course per week, and the results of each course will be included in the students' final examination results.

When Wu Xuan, Qian Gu Ming, and Xiao Xiao walked into the Colosseum together, they were all overwhelmed by the sight.

All second-year students must first receive an upgrade assessment form. This form contains their order of appearance. Grades will also be graded on this form.

After receiving the forms, the students, led by Wang Yan and Mu Jin, entered the Colosseum. It's worth mentioning that Huo Yuhao was ranked last due to his lateness.

Because they were conducting an upgrade assessment, they would not go to the viewing platform. Instead, they would line up neatly outside the fighting area of ​​the Colosseum and wait for their assessment.

There are more than one hundred students in Class One and Class Two taking the second-year upgrade assessment here.

Because it was their first time to come to the Colosseum for assessment, the academy attached great importance to it in order to ensure their safety.

Twenty teachers were already waiting here early in the morning. They were responsible for guiding the soul beasts, protecting the students, and assessing and grading them.

Although there are quite a few candidates, in order to make everyone familiar with this method, there are no divided areas in the Colosseum and each candidate is tested one by one.

This will also make it easier for the graders to see the results more clearly.

The dean of students, Du Weilun, is also here. He is today's chief examiner. He and four other teachers in charge of grading are on a high platform on one side, from where they can clearly overlook the Colosseum.

While collecting the forms, Wu Xuan ran into a few acquaintances from Class 2. Nammun Yoona, and Xie Huanyue, the strongest member of Class 2. Nammun Yoona even waved and greeted Wu Xuan.

At this moment, Du Weilun's voice rang out from the podium. "The situation is different this year, so the order of the assessment will be changed. Class 1, Grade 2, will send out the top three students first. Then Class 2 will follow. We'll keep alternating this way. If you understand, let's begin the assessment."

Wang Yan, standing nearby, heard Du Weilun's words and glanced at Wu Xuan, Dai Huabin, and Wang Dong. "The first student to go on stage should serve as a role model. Who among you three will go first?"

"I'll go first!" Wang Dong responded, then impatiently took his assessment form and strode out. He handed the form to a teacher in charge of delivery, who placed it in the ascending and descending grid under the evaluation platform. Soon, Wang Dong's assessment form was in the hands of Director Du Weilun.

Wang Dong walked to the center of the venue. There were two teachers acting as referees in order to better protect the safety of the students.

The referee on the left asked, "What's your major?"

Wang Dong said calmly: "Strong attack system."

"Choose the soul beast you want to test. Remember, you only have one chance to be tested, so use it carefully. Soul beast levels are measured in centuries, ranging from one hundred years to the highest of one thousand years."

The students in Class 1 and Class 2 of the second grade all focused their attention on Wang Dong. Facing a soul beast alone was a first for most of them, so they would be lying if they said they weren't nervous. Naturally, they all hoped to learn some experience from Wang Dong.

After all, the upgrade assessment is related to whether they can continue to study in Shrek Academy.

"I choose the thousand-year-old soul beast."

"Thousand-year soul beast, are you sure?" the examiner confirmed again.

"Sure!" Wang Dong nodded firmly.

Seeing this, the examiner didn't say anything more.

"Wang Dong, are you ready?"

"Ready." Wang Dong nodded, with a solemn look on his face.

Even Xiao Xiao, who was familiar with Wang Dong in the class, was stunned.

"What is Wang Dong preparing to do?" Xiao Xiao said to himself.

But then everyone knew where Wang Dong's confidence came from.

A brilliant blue light flashed, and Wang Dong immediately released his martial soul.

"Wow!"

Exclamations instantly rang out in the academy, and even many teachers were a little surprised.

They were surprised not because of Wang Dong’s gorgeous Light Goddess Butterfly martial spirit, but because of the three soul rings rising slowly under Wang Dong’s feet.

On the high platform, Du Weilun's eyes lit up. He nodded slightly, "Okay, one yellow and two purple. This child's talent and martial spirit are both top-notch."
