Douluo Continent: Becoming a disciple of Jing Liu, illuminating all the gods

Chapter 18 Freshman Assessment Begins

On the other side, Shrek Dormitory

Gu Yue opened the door, entered the dormitory, and immediately collapsed to the ground.

Gu Yue was covered in sweat, clutching his chest and panting heavily, while a faint red glow emanated from his chest.

"Damn it, the injury of the Asura God that I forcibly suppressed is now backfiring."

"It seems that I will have to go back soon."

But what did Gu Yue remember? A pair of black eyes flashed with purple light, and her black eyes turned into purple eyes like amber.

"Chen Qiye, even before I leave, I must make you remember me deeply. You can only be mine."

After saying that, Gu Yue licked her lips.

.........

As Chen Qiye walked back to his dormitory, his alarm clock kept ringing with the words Ma Xiaotao had said: "I like you, even if you have someone else in your heart."

Chen Qiye rubbed his face. "What kind of situation is this?"

.........

The night passed, and the next morning, Zhou Yi came over, said a few words, and left. The competition officially started in the afternoon.

In the first stage of the round-robin tournament, each team will face ten challenges. After the ten matches, the top sixty-four teams with the most wins will advance to the knockout stage.

Shrek Academy's assessment area is located in the north-central part of the Spirit System, adjacent to the Spirit Battle Zone. Compared to the Spirit Battle Zone, the assessment area is much larger. For the outer students of Shrek Academy, this is a paradise for outstanding students to showcase their abilities, but also a nightmare for those with lower cultivation levels. Every year, a large number of students are eliminated because they fail the assessments, and most of these assessments take place in this assessment area.

The assessment area is oval-shaped, unlike the Soul Fighting area which resembles an enclosed stadium; it is an open space. It is surrounded by a low wall, and the interior is divided into sections by partitions that can be disassembled at any time to change the size of the areas.

Every year, the freshman assessment is the time when the assessment area is divided into the most regions. This is not only because there are many freshmen, but also because the freshmen's destructive power and attack range are limited, so a large area is enough for them to display their abilities.

The entire assessment area covers approximately 20,000 square meters and has now been divided into fifty zones, each about 400 square meters in size, forming a square with sides of 20 meters. This is sufficient for the new students, who generally only have cultivation levels of the first or second ring.

After a busy morning of group assignments, the afternoon assessments officially began. Since today was the first day of the assessments, to allow the new students time to adjust, each group only completed one round of assessments before leaving. The college dispatched fifty teachers to register students in fifty different areas. The teams competing in today's assessments were already drawn into groups at noon. The aim is to ensure that teams from the same class do not meet in the next ten round-robin matches.

Apart from the first freshman class, which has only 24 groups of members, other classes generally have more than 30 groups. Unless the students perform particularly poorly during the freshman period, the teachers of the freshman classes generally do not easily eliminate students before the freshman assessment, and always give them a chance to be assessed.

In the end, a total of 310 groups of students, totaling 930 people, participated in the new student assessment. Of these 310 groups, only 150 groups were able to stay and officially become first-year students to continue their studies, while the rest were eliminated.

Studying at Shrek Academy is undoubtedly fierce and brutal, but it is precisely because of this that the tense atmosphere motivates students to work harder and unleash their potential, thus creating Shrek Academy's enduring success.

There are a total of fifty regions for the new student assessment, meaning that each region is assigned to six or seven teams of students to participate.

Not only today, but they will also play against other teams assigned to the same area tomorrow, until they have all met before being regrouped and each team completes ten matches.

Chen Qiye's assessment area was in District 49. As the Soul Guide broadcast sounded, all the new students entered the venue, and Chen Qiye also arrived at District 49.

"Attention all new students! Attention all new students! Please proceed to the assessment area immediately to prepare for the new student assessment. There are only ten minutes left to enter; failure to do so will be considered a forfeit of this assessment."

A loud broadcast blared throughout the entire outer campus, its sound carrying to every corner. The freshmen's faces mostly turned serious; their first assessment was about to begin, and it would be a lie to say they weren't nervous.

A teacher who looked to be around forty years old came to the 33rd district. He looked very ordinary and did not have any domineering aura. He had a smiling face and was very amiable, which was completely different from Zhou Yi.

After counting the number of people, he smiled and nodded, saying, "Very good. We have a total of six groups of students here for the assessment, and everyone is here. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Wang Yan, and I will be your assessment teacher for the next two days."

"Hello, Teacher Wang." The students quickly bowed to him.

Wang Yan chuckled and said, "No need for so much formality. My teaching style has always been to treat everyone as friends. From now until the end of the assessment, you are all my students. Therefore, I don't want to see anyone get hurt."

"Although the assessment will determine whether you can stay at Shrek Academy to continue your studies, I must remind you that this is an assessment. You must not injure your opponents. Otherwise, I will have to apologize and ask them to leave and report it to the academy."

He spoke gently and casually, without mentioning the consequences of crippling his opponent. However, every student who could enter Shrek Academy was shrewd enough to understand the meaning behind his words, and they all nodded to show that they understood.

Wang Yan smiled and said, "In that case, let's begin. The sooner the competition ends, the sooner you can go back and cram. For young people like you, a sense of urgency is a good thing."

As he spoke, he took out a folder, opened it, glanced at it, frowned at first, then looked up and said, "First round, first assessment: Class 1 of freshmen: Chen Qiye, Class 3 of freshmen: Chen Junyi, Chen Tian, ​​Zhao Chen."

"You may enter the arena now. Take your positions in each corner. You may release your martial spirits only after I announce the start of the match. Enter the arena."

Game start.

Among the three, Chen Junyi is clearly the core, and he is also the only offensive-type Soul Master whose Martial Soul is a hammer.

It was a hammer that looked very big and heavy, with a brass color all over and fine lines engraved on both sides.

At the beginning, he also had two yellow spirit rings on his body, making him the only Great Spirit Master among the three.

Chen Tian and Zhao Chen are both control-type Soul Masters, and their Martial Souls are chains and sand.

Meanwhile, Chen Qiye released his martial spirit. Chen Junyi's eyes narrowed, and the first yellow spirit ring on his body lit up—Hammer Aura.

A terrifying aura was attached to both sides of the hammer, and at this moment, a sky full of yellow sand formed by the gathering of sand on one side and countless chains on the other side attacked Chen Qiye and his two companions together.

Wang Yan on the stage didn't understand why Chen Qiye hadn't released his martial soul yet, but Chen Qiye quickly gave him the answer.

"One breath, defeat."
