I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

At this moment, Xiao Xiao looked at the tiger's claws that were about to sever her head, and her heart was filled with one of the most primal human emotions: the fear of death.

Originally, she was just an ordinary girl who wanted to spend her life happily with her friends, and it would be great if she could also find a good-looking boyfriend along the way.

She does have her own competitive spirit, but who doesn't have a little ambition? Wouldn't it be a waste to have such talent and just drift along?

This is why she applied to Shrek Academy, the number one academy in the world. Part of it was due to the expectations of her parents and family, but she also wanted to become stronger.

But now her life has ended like this?! And at the hands of a teammate who has lost his mind?

This is absolutely unreasonable!!

I beg the gods in heaven: if this is just a dream, then please let it end here!

But this is the human world. Gods, who are high above, will not easily take action in the human world without special connections, let alone break the rules for a little girl who has never been a vegetarian.

However, someone eventually heard her plea, and just as Huo Yuhao's tiger claw was about to kill Xiao Xiao with resentment, Xu Xingyu grabbed the tiger claw.

Xu Xingyu scoffed, "I know you're angry because you can't beat them, but you can't just take it out on your teammates for no reason, can you?"

After speaking, a ball of fire appeared in Xu Xingyu's free hand, and she punched Huo Yuhao in the chest.

Feeling the pain of the flames burning in his chest, Huo Yuhao immediately released Xiao Xiao as if in agony.

Xu Xingyu pressed her advantage and punched Huo Yuhao again, this time aiming for his face.

Just as Xu Xingyu was about to eliminate Huo Yuhao completely, a sweet voice shouted, "Stop!"

The speaker was Wang Dong'er.

At this moment, Wang Dong'er had given up on entanglement with Xu Yanxue. She looked at Xiao Xiao, who was still panting heavily, with a solemn expression, seemingly lost in thought.

Just as Xu Xingyu was wondering why Wang Dong'er would stop her from eliminating Huo Yuhao, she said in a deep voice, "This is my teammate, and it's my fault for not managing him properly, so let me end this match."

Before Huo Yuhao could recover, Wang Dong'er kicked him in the stomach, forcing him off the stage and eliminating him from the competition.

That kick was an attack launched by Wang Dong'er by combining her own Sea God's Light and her own light element compressed into her leg. Although the operation was somewhat simple, the overall power was still quite good.

In particular, the light of the sea god contained within is precisely the nemesis of the evil energy in the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Pearl within Huo Yuhao's body.

So theoretically, Huo Yuhao would regain consciousness after that kick.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Wang Dong'er's kick contained a great deal of force, so Huo Yuhao did not wake up immediately, but instead fainted on the ground.

After eliminating Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong'er looked at the referee who was still in a daze and said, "We concede this round."

The teacher in charge of the referee quickly reacted and said, "Wang Dong's team concedes! The victory belongs to Xu Xingyu's team! Please give them the applause they deserve."

However, there was no applause from the audience; instead, it was completely silent.

The teachers and students who had been watching remained silent for a long time as they stared at this bizarre scene.

After all, no one expected a final like this, right?

First, a student named Huo Yuhao unleashed an attack far exceeding his own level, resulting in him being brutally beaten by another student, Xu Xingyu.

Then, just when everyone thought that student was going to be eliminated, he started to go into some kind of berserk mode.

Unfortunately, even after going berserk, the student still couldn't turn the tide, and then, in a fit of rage, even tried to kill his own teammates.

The referee was immediately stunned and rushed to save the student, but Xu Xingyu saved the student even faster than the referee.

In the end, Huo Yuhao was actually kicked away by his own captain, Wang Dong.

This comedic match really left everyone present at a loss!

They really didn't expect so many unexpected things to happen in this match.

Yan Shaozhe, who had been watching closely, quickly realized what was happening and led the applause for Xu Xingyu's team.

The others, seeing Yan Shaozhe already clapping, also began to clap.

After all, although the ending of this match was somewhat strange and sudden, it was still a very exciting match overall.

So the final round of the freshman assessment ended in this dramatic way.

Afterwards, Huo Yuhao was carried to the infirmary for treatment, and at the same time, a teacher was preparing to examine what was going on with the power that Huo Yuhao had unleashed.

If that completely uncontrollable power cannot be brought under control in time, then they will have no choice but to execute this potential genius who could become an evil soul master with tears in their eyes.

At the same time, Xiao Xiao was also sent to the infirmary because although Xu Xingyu saved her in time, she still suffered considerable injuries.

Judging from the handprints left on her neck, it's possible that Xiao Xiao died from lack of air before Huo Yuhao's tiger claws chopped off her head.

This shows just how much force Huo Yuhao used to choke the other person's neck, making one wonder if the two are enemies or something, otherwise it would be truly outrageous to be so ruthless.

Unfortunately, the two had never met before entering Shrek Academy, so this conspiracy came to an end.

After arranging for all the wounded, Yan Shaozhe told all the students to return to their dormitories and rest. Then, in the afternoon, the competition for third place in the freshman assessment would be held.

The day after that, all students were required to gather at Shrek Square.

They will then announce the final results of the new student assessment, the class assignments for each student, and the allocation of core disciple slots.

This caused the students, whose minds were still on the final competition, to shift their attention to the soon-to-be-announced list of core disciples.

The so-called core disciples are those whom the academy believes have the potential to become inner court students, and these students will also receive a portion of the academy's resources.

Therefore, their future cultivation speed will be much faster due to these extra resources and teachings.

It can be said that the difference between ordinary Shrek Academy students and core disciples is like the difference between heaven and earth.

Unless they get some special opportunity, the former's experience at Shrek Academy is basically just going through the motions.

The latter, barring any unforeseen circumstances, will inevitably become an inner court student, a key focus for every teacher in the outer court.

This also shows just how unreasonable Shrek Academy's teaching methods are.

The school motto states, "There are no useless martial spirits, only useless soul masters."

Ultimately, the most core members of Shrek Academy are those students with powerful martial spirits and strong family backgrounds.

It is rare for a student from a common background to become a core disciple or an inner court student through their own efforts.

If so, it means that the person's abilities in a certain area are highly valued by the academy's higher-ups, or that their contributions to the academy are so significant that they are allowed to stay.
