Douluo: The Dragon King - I Planted the Divine Tree in Douluo.

Chapter 260 Part-time Workers

Watching in the monitoring room as Su Mo and the others, who had given up on the young Three-Eyed Golden-Faced Man without making any move, appeared a meaningful smile on Cai Yue'er's aged face.

Here comes the excuse.

She was still racking her brains trying to come up with a plausible excuse to deflate Su Mo's arrogance in front of so many people.

Shrek Academy has encountered troublemakers like Su Mo countless times and has long since developed an effective countermeasure.

First, find a pretext to severely punish them, thus stirring up resentment among those troublemakers.

Then, while they are dissatisfied, seize upon their various minor mistakes and strike them hard until they lose all confidence.

Finally, while they are questioning the meaning of life, send someone to comfort them.

This series of operations has been tried and tested since Shrek Academy was founded, and has never failed.

Almost the instant Su Mo and the others stepped out of the cave, a blinding white light suddenly shone, and Su Mo and the others subconsciously squinted.

When their vision returned, Su Mo found that they had been teleported back.

Wu Changkong, who was waiting in place, looked at Su Mo with a complicated expression. He did not expect that Su Mo would see through the true purpose of this challenge.

For a moment, Wu Changkong didn't know whether to praise Su Mo for his keen insight or to say that Su Mo was unlucky.

Noticing that Wu Changkong's gaze was a little off, Xu Xiaoyan asked curiously, "Teacher Wu, what's wrong?"

Just as Wu Changkong was about to speak, the white light shone again, and Tang Wulin and the others were teleported out.

Tang Wulin looked completely bewildered upon seeing Wu Changkong.

Wasn't he absorbing the head soul bone of the Three-Eyed Golden-Faced Demon? How did he suddenly come back?

After Su Mo and the others left, they killed the young Three-Eyed Golden Lion and obtained its head soul bone.

Afterwards, the six of them used rock-paper-scissors to distribute the soul bone.

In the end, he had incredible luck and won the head bone.

As a result, he was teleported back as soon as he started refining the head soul bone of the three-eyed golden-faced creature.

Wu Changkong noticed Tang Wulin's confusion and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I lied to you before."

"Everything you encounter inside is actually simulated by the academy using data."

"The ninth test does not assess survival skills, but rather character."

"No matter how powerful a Soul Master is, if he does not have an upright, kind, and just heart, then his powerful strength will only have the opposite effect on the whole society and the entire Federation."

"Shrek Academy would never train someone like that."

As soon as Wu Changkong said this, Tang Wulin and the others immediately realized what was going on.

Shrek is testing whether they will fight amongst themselves or even betray each other when faced with interests.

"So the young three-eyed golden lion breaking free of my control just now was actually a deliberate arrangement by the academy."

Luo Guixing couldn't help but interject.

When that young, three-eyed, golden-faced beast escaped his captivity and fled, he began to question the meaning of life.

"good!"

Wu Changkong nodded, admitting it. "The academy did this to see how your two groups resolve conflicts of interest."

"If your two groups start fighting over that soul bone, you will all be eliminated."

Wu Changkong's words sent a chill down Tang Wulin and the others' spines.

Fortunately, Su Mo gave up; otherwise, they dared not even imagine the consequences.

"So, dance teacher, what's our score for this round?"

After hesitating for a moment, Tang Wulin asked somewhat uncertainly.

Upon hearing this, Wu Changkong's expression softened considerably. "Because your group didn't have any disagreements when it came to distributing the soul bones at the end."

"So you got a perfect score in this round."

After speaking, Wu Changkong looked at Su Mo and the others.

"As for your group, I cannot give you a score; we can only wait for the decision of the three presiding judges."

Wu Changkong looked at Su Mo and spoke with a hint of tenderness.

Su Mo and the others didn't care about this.

Anyway, their scores are almost the same, except for Xu Xiaoyan who is just one point away from passing.

"Come with me, I'll take you to the final challenge!"

Seeing that Su Mo and the others had no objections, Wu Changkong turned and walked towards the final challenge.

Seeing this, Su Mo and the others quickly followed.

Led by Wu Changkong, Su Mo and the others took the elevator to the top of the floor.

After stepping out of the elevator, Su Mo and his companions were greeted by a high-tech metal door.

As the metal doors slowly opened to both sides, three elderly men sat in a row in the bright, spacious room, waiting for them.

One of them was Cai Yue'er, whom they had met not long ago.

The other two are Wu Changkong's teacher, Chilong Douluo, and Zhuoshi.

And Feng Wuyu, the president of the Shrek Forging Association and the Fiery Dragon Douluo.

Upon seeing the three, a hint of gentleness appeared on Wu Changkong's usually calm face.

"Teacher, everyone's here!"

Wu Changkong strode forward, bowed, and then whispered to Zhuoshi, who was sitting on his left.

"I see!"

Zhuoshi nodded.

"The tenth assessment is called the Three Elders' Joint Review. Three elders from the academy will evaluate your assessment results and give a final comprehensive score, which will be added to your total score."

Wu Changkong announced the content of the tenth assessment from the side.

Standing behind Su Mo, Xu Xiaoyan noticed Cai Yue'er looking at her and quickly tugged at Su Mo's sleeve. "Su Mo, do you think they'll make things difficult for me?"

"Don't worry, they still have their pride in front of so many people."

Su Mo turned around and gently patted Xu Xiaoyan's shoulder, indicating that Xu Xiaoyan could rest assured.

If it were just him and his group, Su Mo had no doubt that Cai Yue'er and the others would give the four of them a zero score.

But Tang Wulin and a few others were still there.

In order to leave a good impression on Tang Wulin, they had to pretend to be selfless.

After exchanging glances, Cai Yue'er, Zhuo Shi, and Feng Wuyu successfully reached a consensus on their scores.

Zhuo Shi stroked his beard and looked at Tang Wulin with a kind expression. "Tang Wulin, your performance in these ten assessments is impeccable, a perfect score."

Upon hearing that he had scored full marks in this round, Tang Wulin's face immediately lit up with undisguised excitement.

Ignoring the one point deducted in the second round, he scored a total of ninety-nine points, the highest in the entire competition.

After announcing Tang Wulin's score, Zhuoshi looked at Xie Xie.

"Xie Xie possesses above-average talent, strong adaptability, and the ability to rise to challenges in the face of danger. His overall performance is excellent, earning him a score of nine out of ten."

"pretty!"

Upon hearing that he had scored nine points, Xie Xie's face lit up with joy.

He scored 96 points in this freshman assessment, which successfully met his master's requirement of 95 points, so he doesn't need to practice anymore.

His mentor, Liang Xiaoyu, had set specific assessment goals for him when he applied to Shrek Academy.

If you can't reach 95 points, you'll have to double your training volume.

Zhuoshi and the others ignored Xie Xie's silly grin and continued to announce the other people's results.

As the scores of Luo Guixing, Xu Yucheng, and others were announced one by one, soon only Su Mo and his three companions remained on the field.

Looking at Su Mo and the other three, Zhuo Shi didn't speak but instead looked at Cai Yue'er sitting in the middle.

Seeing this, Cai Yue'er's gaze swept over Su Mo, Xu Xiaoyan, Gu Yue, Wu Siduo, and the others, and then she said in a deep voice, "Su Mo, given your special circumstances in the ninth level, the academy is giving you two choices."

"Either become a work-study student at the college, or go back to where you came from."

After saying that, Cai Yue'er looked at Su Mo with a smug expression, wanting to see how Su Mo would make a choice.

Making Su Mo and the others work-study students was partly motivated by a desire to get revenge on Su Mo.

But more than anything, he wanted to temper Su Mo's arrogance and make him understand that in the face of absolute strength, mere cleverness is useless.
