Douluo Continent: I, an evil soul master, work nine-to-five in the Tang Sect.

Chapter 28 First Impressions!

Time flew by, and after Luo Chen and his roommate Tai An lived a lazy life with only three days of work and two days of rest, the day for the freshmen to officially start school finally arrived.

During these three days, even though Luo Chen and Tai An strolled around the vast Shrek Academy every day, putting aside their cultivation tasks for the first time and indulging themselves a little, his soul power level seemed to have no bottleneck and naturally broke through to level twenty-eight.

Luo Chen is getting closer to his goal of breaking through to the third-ring Soul Master level in two months, and his talent of breaking through even while playing around is truly something that Tai'an envies.

Sometimes the difference between people is just that big. You might think that someone else is just giving up like you, but their talent is there, and even if they are giving up, they can still make a significant improvement!

After spending the night in Shrek City, Luo Chen and Tai An returned to their dormitory early. Today was the first day of classes for the first-year students of the Foreign Languages ​​Department, and they couldn't be late on the first day, could they?

After putting on their white school uniforms, which represented first-year students, Luo Chen and Tai An prepared to head to the teaching building and go to their respective classrooms.

Students of all grades in the outer academy have their own dedicated teaching buildings for studying. However, it is clear that the white teaching building for the first year of the outer academy, which Luo Chen is going to, is undoubtedly the largest in terms of area, more than twice the size of the other teaching buildings!

The reason it occupies such a large area is that every year at the start of the new academic year, the college recruits thousands of new students from all over the mainland and distributes them equally among different classes.

These first-year students do not need to undergo a freshman assessment during the first three months after enrollment, so they can stay in the college to study. Therefore, at the beginning of each academic year, the number of students in the first-year teaching building is usually the largest, and the area of ​​the teaching building is naturally larger than that of other grades.

However, this phenomenon will gradually subside as new student assessments begin and some teachers, for various reasons, use their right to "discourage" students from leaving.

On average, the School of Foreign Languages ​​introduces about a thousand new students each year, who are then assigned to ten classes. However, after the freshman assessment three months after the start of the semester, only a mere six or seven hundred students are able to meet the assessment requirements and successfully stay to continue their studies, resulting in a dropout rate as high as one-third!

And this is just the beginning. After the freshman assessment, they will need to take the first-year graduation exam. Only by passing the exam can they truly become a member of Shrek Academy!

Compared to other advanced soul master academies, Shrek Academy undoubtedly has much higher requirements. However, it is precisely because of this that the system of survival of the fittest can select truly talented students, thereby making better use of the cultivation resources provided by the academy and cultivating more powerful soul masters!

Luo Chen's goal is to successfully pass the academy's various assessments over the next few years and enter Shrek Academy's inner court. Only by becoming a student in Shrek Academy's inner court can one receive focused training and more resources from the academy.

It contains not only various rare and precious treasures to aid cultivation, but also a variety of cultivation techniques and secret manuals for reference and learning. These are the true foundation of Shrek Academy.

If Luo Chen wants to grow up quickly, then both the various resources provided by Shrek Academy and the numerous tests it sets up can be of great help to him!

After all, a systematic teaching method that has been perfected over tens of thousands of years is far more efficient than Luo Chen blindly cultivating on his own.

At this moment, after Luo Chen and Huo Yuhao arrived at the front of the teaching building, they separated and walked in different directions, because one of them was in Class 1 and the other was in Class 9, and the two classes were quite far apart.

However, to Luo Chen's surprise, even though he and Huo Yuhao teamed up that day and beat Wang Dong black and blue, only three days later, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong had already reconciled. On the surface, they seemed to be inseparable brothers.

This surprised Luo Chen somewhat. He had originally thought that after his interference, the two of them would no longer be able to get along, but now it seemed that he had been naive. He should have been even more ruthless back then...

"Chenzi, I've noticed your junior brother's soul power has improved quite a bit recently. He was only level fifteen at first, but in just three days he's broken through to level sixteen. Could he be taking some kind of drug?"

After parting ways with Huo Yuhao, Tai'an turned to Luo Chen beside him and asked a question.

Over the course of three days, the two drank quite a bit of wine, and their relationship deepened considerably. They began to address each other more casually. Tai'an called Luo Chen "Chenzi," which is the same as "Chenzi" (臣子), while Luo Chen called Tai'an "Lao Tai," which is the same as "Lao Tai" (老太). Neither of them intended to let the other take advantage of them in the slightest.

After speaking in Tai'an, Luo Chen laughed and scolded:

"Get lost! You're the one on drugs! My junior brother is incredibly diligent in his cultivation. Do you think he's like us, playing around recklessly for the past three days? He's been cultivating for three whole days straight, without even lying down once!"

That's right. Apart from when Luo Chen was eating grilled fish, he could hardly see Huo Yuhao at other times!

"My God, is this for real? Is he out of his mind? Isn't cultivation supposed to be a balance between work and rest? Why is he pushing himself so hard? Even though I'm only one step away from becoming a second-ring Great Soul Master, I'm not in such a hurry."

Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, Tai An's impression of Huo Yuhao changed instantly. He had originally thought that Luo Chen, his junior brother, was only good at grilling fish, but he hadn't expected him to be so diligent and hardworking in his cultivation, as diligent as a monster!

It's true what they say, "Birds of a feather flock together!"

Seeing the surprised look on Tai'an's face, Luo Chen smiled and said:

"I think you'd better hurry up, Lao Tai. The Titan Giant Ape Martial Soul, although it's a mutation, its quality is undeniable. If you work hard and reach the level of a two-ring Great Soul Master, then you'll be able to roam freely among all the first-year students!"

"Besides, I'm still thinking of having a match with you in the arena during the freshman assessment three months from now. If you don't work hard to cultivate, it would be interesting if I won the freshman assessment championship while you couldn't even make it to the top eight."

Faced with Luo Chen's doubts, Tai An revealed a rather confident expression, patted his hard chest, and assured him:

"Don't worry, Chenzi. Although I haven't been meditating much these past few days, I haven't stopped training my body. I can feel that I'm very close to the level 20 bottleneck. At most, I'll be able to break through to level 20 in a month and a half!"

"That's good!"

As they chatted, they arrived at the door of Class 9, the freshman class, and turned to walk into the classroom. They had arrived quite early, a full half hour ahead of time, so the classroom was still empty, with no other students having arrived before them.

However, a rather pretty woman was already sitting at the podium in front of the classroom. Although she looked very young, the aura she exuded sent chills down the spines of Luo Chen and Tai An.

At this moment, he was silently observing Luo Chen and the other person in front of him with a look of keen interest. On the name tag hanging below his collar, which proved his identity as a teacher, were engraved a few words:

The homeroom teacher of Class 9, freshmen, is Mu Jin.
