Douluo Continent: I ushered in this era

Upon entering Shrek Academy, the students from Class Zero looked around curiously. Even Chu Ci couldn't help but show his curiosity, as it was his first time visiting the number one city of Douluo Continent.

Wu Changkong led the five members of Class Zero to a hotel to check in. After a long journey, the group was quite tired and went back to their rooms to rest.

In the evening, Wu Changkong took Tang Wulin out to run some errands.

Chapter 67 Shrek Academy Assessment Begins

"Wu Lin, are you and Teacher Wu going to buy spiritual items?" Chu Ci asked. The students in Class Zero knew that Tang Wu Lin needed spiritual items to break through.

"Yes, that's right. Teacher Wu and I are going to the auction house to buy spiritual items." Tang Wulin nodded.

Chu Ci stood up, stretched, and said leisurely, "That's perfect. My family owns an auction house in Shrek City. How about we go there?"

Tang Wulin hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay, but I will buy the spirit item according to the price."

Chu Ci patted Tang Wulin on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I won't shortchange you."

Since Tang Wulin, who was paying for it, agreed, Wu Changkong naturally had no objections.

The three of them got into a taxi and arrived at their destination, the Ciyue Auction House, one of the Chu family's businesses.

The interior of the Ciyue Auction House is decorated in a classical style, giving it a simple yet grand feel.

Looking at the auction house in front of him, Tang Wulin gained a new understanding of the wealth of the Chu family.

Chu Ci made a phone call, and soon a receptionist came forward and led the three of them to a luxurious room.

The three of them had barely sat down and taken a couple of sips of tea when there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in," Chu Ci said in a deep voice.

A beautiful middle-aged woman pushed open the door and entered. After looking around, her eyes lit up when she saw Chu Ci. She quickly walked up to him and said respectfully, "Mr. Chu, you've been waiting for a long time. I am Chen Xueni, the person in charge of Ciyue Auction House."

"Mr. Chu, you've come all this way, is there something important you wish to tell me?"

“My classmate needs to buy a spiritual item, so I brought him here to take a look.” Chu Ci gestured to Tang Wulin with his eyes.

Tang Wulin understood and quickly said, "I need the Thousand-Year Green Vein Vine."

Chen Xueni took out a soul guide screen, logged into the internal network, and quickly found the Thousand-Year Green Vein Vine among the spiritual objects.

Chen Xueni showed Chu Ci the information on the Thousand-Year-Old Green Vein Vine. Chu Ci glanced at it and waved his hand, "Sell it to my classmate at the estimated price."

“Okay,” Chen Xueni put away the soul guide screen and turned to Tang Wulin, saying, “Our Ciyue Auction House has given a preliminary estimate of five million Federal Credits for the top-grade Thousand-Year Green Vein Vine.”

Tang Wulin thought for a moment and then made a decision, "Okay, deal."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xueni immediately instructed her subordinates to bring up the Thousand-Year-Old Green Vein Vine.

A short while later, Tang Wulin paid the money and received the Thousand-Year Green Vein Vine.

"Okay, now that I've finished, Sister Chen, I'll be going." Chu Ci said, standing up.

Chen Xueni saw the three off at the Ciyue Auction House and said with a smile, "If you need any materials in the future, just let me know and I'll send someone to deliver them to you."

"Okay, got it."

.........

The three returned to the hotel, and Chu Ci said to Tang Wulin, "Wulin, hurry up and absorb the spiritual items, so as not to delay the Shrek Academy entrance exam in a week."

"Okay, thank you very much, squad leader!" Tang Wulin said gratefully.

"It's just a little effort."

After watching Tang Wulin and Wu Changkong prepare to absorb spiritual objects, Chu Ci breathed a sigh of relief. This time, Tang Wulin would not be late for the Shrek Academy exam like in the original story.

A week passed quickly. Tang Wulin broke through the second seal of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline in four days. Chu Ci went to inspect the situation of his own businesses during the day and became familiar with the heads of various businesses. At night, he meditated quietly in the hotel.

On the day of the Shrek Academy exam, everyone got up early to prepare.

"Today I'm taking you all to take the Shrek Academy entrance exam. If you don't pass, don't say you're my student." Wu Changkong said coldly, then turned and gestured for everyone to follow.

"Don't worry, Teacher Wu, it's nothing." Chu Ci said calmly.

Wu Changkong led the five people into a taxi and arrived at the entrance of Shrek Academy.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of Shrek Academy, they saw Shen Yi, who had specially waited there.

“Follow the academy’s arrangements during the exam,” Wu Changkong instructed the five students in Class Zero, then turned to Shen Yi and said, “These few are yours to handle.”

After saying that, Wu Changkong ignored the surprised expressions of the five students in Class Zero and disappeared instantly.

"Teacher Wu just abandoned us like that." Xie Xie looked at this scene in disbelief.

Shen Yi smiled and said, "Your dance teacher has her own things to do, so she specifically asked me to take you to the exam."

"Let's go."

Shen Yi led the way into Shrek Academy, and Chu Ci and the others exchanged glances before quickly following.

The group walked through Lingbing Square, where a statue of Huo Yuhao was placed, and entered the main teaching building of Shrek Academy.

Shen Yi led the five students from Class Zero to a circular hall. It was the time for Shrek Academy's exams, and there were many students sitting in twos and threes outside the hall.

After Shen Yi led Chu Ci and the other four to complete the registration, he pointed to the circular hall and said, "Enter that hall, and the Shrek Academy assessment will officially begin."

"You five will be assessed together as a group. When your numbers are called, just come in."

After saying that, Shen Yi disappeared, and no one knew where he went.

"Sit down and adjust yourselves before the assessment," Chu Ci said to the students in Class Zero.

Not many people were qualified to take the exam at Shrek Academy, and soon Chu Ci and his group of five were called.

"Chu Ci, Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan will be assessed," the teacher guarding the door announced loudly.

After the five students presented their exam certificates, the teacher pointed to the hall door and said, "Go in."

Chu Ci led the way, pushing open the hall door and leading the other four into the hall.

The dome of the hall is painted with a mural made from a drop of blood from the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, also known as the Beast God Di Tian.

The mural exuded immense pressure, descending from the sky and weighing heavily on the five people from Chu Ci who entered the room.

Chu Ci grunted, his powerful mental strength dispelling the oppressive aura and maintaining his calm demeanor.

Tang Wulin and Gu Yue possess the bloodlines of the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings, so they are completely unaffected by the pressure.

Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan were in a worse situation. As the pressure continued to increase, they only recovered to normal thanks to Tang Wulin's protective qi and blood.

“Indeed,” an old man appeared.

The old man looked at Chu Ci, then at Tang Wulin and Gu Yue, and said, "He has the potential to become a little monster."

After the first mental strength test ended, the old man gave the scores: Tang Wulin got 10 points, Chu Ci and Gu Yue got 9 points, and Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan got 8 points.

The five people walked out of the hall, crossed a corridor, and arrived at the door of another hall.

At this time, the previous group had not yet completed the assessment, and the five people were resting outside the hall.

Soon, the second assessment was for the five members of the Chu Ci group.

Upon entering the hall, Chu Ci and the others were teleported to a fighting arena resembling the Spirit Ascension Platform to undergo the second assessment.

Appearing alongside Chu Ci and his group of five were two powerful auras.

Upon closer inspection, everyone discovered a three-thousand-year-old Earth Demon Rhinoceros and a three-thousand-year-old Heaven-Shaking Hou in front of them.

While stretching his limbs, Chu Ci said, "You guys deal with the Earth Demon Rhinoceros, and I'll take care of the Heaven-Shaking Hou."

Chapter 68 passed one after another.

Four spirit rings rose from Chu Ci's feet, and he instantly flashed to the side of Zhen Tian Hou, kicking it away, leaving the Earth Demon Rhino standing there dumbfounded.

Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and the other three exchanged a glance. "Go!"

The four of them made a move and left behind the Earth Demon Rhino.

The Zhen Tian Hou, which had been kicked away, rolled on the ground, got up, and immediately retaliated. With a roar that shook the heavens, it opened its mouth.

A terrifying sound wave suddenly erupted, creating a massive impact.

As Chu Ci watched the terrifying sonic waves rushing towards him, his first and second soul rings lit up, the scales of the gods returned to balance, and his entire body was immediately covered with a layer of silver-white armor, his aura surging greatly.

Feeling the amplified power in his body, Chu Ci grinned, raised his right fist, and unleashed a move called "Dragon Shakes a Hundred Miles" in the face of the terrifying sound waves.

Chu Ci unleashed a punch, and the domineering dragon roar that erupted collided with the sound waves.

The air surged and the two sides faced off for two seconds before the dragon's roar suddenly shattered the sound wave, and the vortex formed by the dragon's roar struck the Zhen Tian Hou.

The part of the Zhen Tian Hou that was hit immediately caved in, and the entire soul beast was also thrown away by the huge impact.

Chu Ci clenched his fists, crouched low, pushed off with his left foot, and thrust his right fist straight out, propelling his body forward at high speed.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Ci caught up with the Zhen Tian Hou that had been knocked away. His gaze sharpened, and he unleashed a series of attacks, like a dragon emerging from the abyss.

Five dragon-shaped energy waves flew out with his fists, all striking the waist and abdomen of the Zhen Tian Hou.

In an instant, all of Zhen Tianhou's internal organs were displaced.

With a loud thud, the Heavenly Roar crashed heavily onto the body, raising dust and smoke, which was faintly mixed with bloodstains.

Facing Chu Ci, who was right in front of him, Zhen Tianhou raised its sharp claws and desperately swung them at Chu Ci.

With a thought, Chu Ci flicked out five dark golden blades with his right hand, unleashing his right palm bone soul skill, Dark Golden Terror Claw.

A massive, dark golden claw-like beam swept across the air with a hissing sound, easily severing the Zhen Tian Hou's claws before piercing its chest.

Chu Ci exerted a little force with his right hand, and Zhen Tianhou's heart was instantly crushed. Zhen Tianhou let out a huge wail, then fell to the ground and slowly dissipated.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, Tang Wulin and his group were in a superior position. Not long after, the Earth Demon Rhino collapsed to the ground.

The arena plunged into darkness, and space seemed to distort and spin. Chu Ci and his group of five regained their consciousness in the hall.

Shen Yi appeared in front of the five people with a strange expression. The two three-thousand-year-old soul beasts were so easily dealt with, especially one of them, which was killed by Chu Ci alone.

Shen Yi glanced at Chu Ci and thought to himself: This kid has gotten even more powerful.

"The second assessment is the Colosseum. Chu Ci gets 10 points, Tang Wulin gets 10 points, Xie Xie gets 10 points, Gu Yue gets 8 points, and Xu Xiaoyan gets 10 points."

This time, when Chu Ci and his group of five arrived at the third level, they did not wait, because very few people were able to reach the third level.

"The third test is about adaptability. After I say 'ready,' you'll have one minute to prepare. When I say 'start,' you must pass through here. Complete it within thirty seconds for six points. For every three seconds less, add one point; for every three seconds more, subtract one point. I want to remind you of two things: First, the closer you get to the guillotine gate, the faster the guillotine will fall. These are real guillotines; if you get struck, you're dead or alive. Second, the score for this test can become negative. If you consistently fail to pass, then there's no point in continuing the test," Shen Yi announced.
