Wang Dong frowned and stared at Huo Yuhao with a strange look. Huo Yuhao felt a chill run down his spine and couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"

Wang Dong pursed his lips and said "Oh," "Who knows what your relationship is with Shen Yumo? Is it worth you speaking up for him like this? It's not like you're saying anything bad about him."

Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but Xiao Xiao spoke up to change the subject, saying, "The assessment will officially begin this afternoon, let's discuss some tactics."

Ignoring Huo Yuhao's sullen face, Wang Dong said casually, "There's nothing to study, just fight our way through."

Xiao Xiao gently shook her head and said, "It's not that easy. I heard that each class has some exceptionally talented students who have formed elite teams, all aiming for the championship. They are not easy to deal with. We need to cooperate perfectly to have a chance."

Wang Dong wanted to say something, but Huo Yuhao stopped him, "Wang Dong, straighten your attitude, or I'll ask Teacher Zhou to switch teams."

Xiao Xiao, perhaps because of Wang Dong's previous displeasure with Shen Yumo, immediately chimed in, "Exactly! Too much confidence is arrogance."

Wang Dong snorted but said nothing more.

Huo Yuhao put an arm around his shoulder and said, "Alright, don't be angry. If we cooperate well, it will be easier to defeat our opponents during the assessment, right? We are still a team of three, and we can still cooperate. Brother Shen's team only has Brother Shen as the pillar. Do you think how difficult it is for him?"

Xiao Xiao sighed and said frankly, "Yes, Shen Yumo's two teammates are completely useless. Even if he is a Soul Master, don't forget that there are Soul Masters among this year's freshmen. Just think about the pressure on Shen Yumo!"

After hearing Xiao Xiao's words, the stubborn Wang Dong fell silent...

Yes, he at least has two strong teammates, but what about Shen Yumo? It's not that his teammates are bad. The earlier matches will be easy, but if he wants to win the championship, he will have to face the top students from each class.

He was under immense pressure... He had to admit, his opponent was truly strong! Wang Dong couldn't help but wonder, if he were to face his own Goddess of Light Butterfly, who would be stronger?

……

Shen Yumo didn't see the two people who were in the same group as her, and she just sat there bored.

However, he firmly believes that no matter how strong the opponent is, he will defeat them with sheer force! Just watch, in the imminent freshman assessment, he will surely let everyone witness the power of the Demon Blade Thousand Blades once again.

……

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. Not only today, but tomorrow they will also continue to compete against other teams assigned to the same region, until they have all met. After that, they will be regrouped and each team will complete ten matches.

After eating lunch alone in the 33rd district, Shen Yumo and the other two returned to their dormitory and meditated for a while before heading to the district together. The district divisions were easy to find, with clear signs for each area, and they quickly found their respective districts.

Students from other classes participating in the competition had also arrived. Some looked nervous, while others were eager to compete. They were all eleven or twelve years old, and they couldn't hide their feelings. When they looked at each other, their hostility was very clear. After all, it was very likely that only half of them would remain. Although there were as many as ten matches in the assessment, each one was equivalent to determining their future.

"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; those who are late will be considered to have forfeited 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.

Shen Yumo stood out from the crowd, and his handsome appearance, long sky-blue hair, and deep blue eyes attracted the hearts of many girls. After learning that he was the Purple Blade God, they all smiled in alarm and hid away, watching the boy from a distance, not daring to get close.

Looking at the commotion of the crowd, Shen Yumo felt as if she had returned to the excitement of the Soul Battle Arena years ago.

A series of bloody yet exciting scenes seemed to float before my eyes. I closed my eyes, and the fragmented images were pieced together again: splattered blood, exploding brains, and bizarre yet beautiful killings. I really miss it.

He opened his aquamarine eyes, a hint of bloodlust in them. He needed to control his actions to avoid hurting anyone.

Previously, the Demon Blade Thousand Blades possessed a certain instinct for autonomous killing. A single drop of blood could cause the Demon Blade in his hand to tremble and feed back to him the desire to kill. At that time, he sometimes couldn't control that terrifying killing intent in his heart.

I only hope that the Demon Blade can retain its purest killing intent.

After the new students had entered, a teacher who looked to be around forty years old came to District 33. He was wearing a formal suit and black-rimmed glasses.

He didn't have any overbearing air; his face was all smiles, and he appeared very amiable, a stark contrast to 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, except for Shen Yumo.

Wang Yan spotted Shen Yumo immediately. He chuckled and said, "No need for formalities. 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 absolutely cannot injure your opponents. Otherwise, I can only apologize and ask them to leave and report it to the academy." As he spoke, his gaze swept over everyone, especially lingering on the blue-haired boy for a few seconds.

He spoke gently and casually, without mentioning the consequences of crippling his opponent. But every student who could enter Shrek Academy was a shrewd person, and they naturally understood the meaning behind his words, nodding in agreement.

Chapter 75 The Amazing Moves of the Strong

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, and then looked up, saying, "First round, first assessment, Class 1 of freshmen: Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Xiao..."

It seems he won't have a chance to participate in the first match, but it's good to see how everyone fights. This will give him some basis to control his own moves and allow him to hold back. He couldn't have missed Wang Yan's gaze; it was a special reminder to him to be careful with his actions.

……

The six groups of trainees will be holding three matches in the 33rd district today. Huo Yuhao and his group did not expect to be the first to appear. After exchanging glances, they quickly walked into the arena and stood in the northwest corner.

The three students' positions were carefully chosen: Wang Dong stood at the very front, Xiao Xiao second, and Huo Yuhao in the very back corner. The other three students naturally chose the southeast corner.

The three students from Class 3 of the freshmen program were all boys, and all of them were quite good-looking. The tallest and most handsome was Ouyang Junyi. Although he was not as tall as Wang Dong, he looked much stronger. Next to him, Chen Junfeng was not short but very slender. At the very back was Zhao Haochen, a chubby boy with a round belly and a憨厚 (honest and simple) smile on his face.

Seeing that both sides were in position, Teacher Wang Yan nodded and said, "The assessment begins."

Both sides instantly unleashed their martial spirits. Although Huo Yuhao was standing in a corner, he deliberately controlled his spiritual detection to not encompass what was behind him, but simply to cover the entire arena. Xiao Xiao also released her Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, a large black cauldron rapidly forming above her head.

Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul is the Spirit Eye, a spirit-attribute Martial Soul. He excels at sharing spiritual detection, allowing his companions to be aware of any movement within a certain radius during battle, and also giving them a certain advantage in anticipating the enemy's moves.

Wang Dong, whose martial soul is the Goddess of Light Butterfly, is Tang San's daughter. Her martial soul excels in both close-range attacks and can also fly. Although he is somewhat arrogant, he certainly has the right to be. Whether it's his soul power cultivation, martial soul, or soul skills, he is second to none among his peers, except for Shen Yumo, of course.

Xiao Xiao possesses twin martial souls. Her primary martial soul is the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, a versatile weapon for both offense and defense, offering some battlefield control. Its primary function is to ram into enemies and create a sense of shock; upon impact, it stuns the opponent while simultaneously inflicting damage. Her secondary martial soul is the Xiao flute, the Nine Phoenixes' Auspicious Flute, primarily used for support and control. Currently, her secondary martial soul only possesses a hundred-year soul ring, capable of slowing down opponents during combat.

This lineup is practically perfect. As expected of Teacher Zhou, he has excellent judgment and naturally put the three of them in a group.

With control, offense, and most importantly, mental attacks, plus Huo Yuhao's support, this game is in the bag.

To Shen Yumo's surprise, one of their opponents was a food-type Soul Master. Don't underestimate these support-type Soul Masters; they can often provide the most direct and effective assistance to their teammates.

It's also edible, filling your stomach and replenishing your soul power, making it an essential item for outdoor adventures.

The battle intensified, and everyone wanted to achieve final victory, so they had to go all out. But don't forget that Wang Dong is a Great Soul Master and has a thousand-year-old Soul Skill in his hand, so the opposing team naturally couldn't defeat Huo Yuhao's trio.

It's clear from their matches that everyone put in the effort, and they've done quite well at this stage. It's just that they're approaching things from different angles and lack sufficient practical experience.

If you only think about how to knock your opponent off the stage or render them incapable of fighting, you will naturally have many concerns.

If you view your opponent through the eyes of an enemy, you'll be thinking about how to kill them! With this mindset, the methods you use will be different; you'll only be thinking about how to win!

The scales of victory finally tipped in Huo Yuhao's favor. As the last person on the opposing team landed, this farce, in Shen Yumo's eyes, came to an end.

"Team One, led by Huo Yuhao, has won a match." After announcing this, Wang Yan wrote it down on the document in his hand.

On the other side, Ouyang Junyi and his two companions had already gotten up. Wang Dong had shown mercy, and they weren't truly injured, but they looked ashamed and indignant. They had been defeated so easily…

However, the group quickly encouraged each other and cheered themselves up. There was still one more match. There were two matches in total this morning, and they had one more match against a team from the same class!

They want revenge!

Wang Yan glanced at the three words "Shen Yumo" and then looked up, saying, "First round, second assessment: Class 1: Shen Yumo... Class 3: Ouyang Junyi, Chen Junfeng, Zhao Haochen. You may enter the arena!"

Shen Yumo was the first to walk onto the stage, her face flushed and her breathing quickened. She felt as if the Demon Blade Thousand Blades was about to rush out and defeat these young lads.

Six players took to the field, while the other three looked at them with serious expressions. After all, they were from the same class as their opponents, and they didn't want to lose face again. But little did they know what kind of ridicule they were about to face.

"Game start!"

As Wang Yan shouted, a cruel smile flashed across Shen Yumo's lips, her eyes filled with nothing but coldness.

The next moment, he moved and appeared behind the two. These were his teammates. With a wicked smile, he kicked both of them off the fighting platform.

"What are you doing, Shen Yumo!" The two teammates sat on the ground angrily, pointing at Shen Yumo and shouting in unison!

The entire audience was stunned, staring at him in disbelief.

The three opponents were dumbfounded. What kind of move was this? Did they think this was an individual competition?

While they were still in a daze, the boy's casual remark completely ignited the anger of the three of them!

"Oh right, I don't need teammates. What do I need teammates to deal with three noobs like you? Come on, let me see your true strength. Don't become trash!"

"You!" Ouyang Junyi's face turned ugly as he pointed viciously at the other party, but he couldn't think of anything to say.

He exhaled calmly and sneered, "Then let me see just how capable you are to give yourself such inflated confidence!"

Ouyang Junyi and Chen Junfeng made their moves at the same time. One of them had a beast spirit and the other had a weapon spirit, but both of them were agility-type battle spirit masters.

Ouyang Junyi's martial soul is the Sword-beaked Hummingbird. After releasing his martial soul, a sharp spike quickly appeared on the tip of his right arm. His martial soul is a bird, but his cultivation level...

Chapter 76 A Relaxing Day

His martial soul is a bird, but due to his insufficient cultivation level, he has not yet acquired wings. This alone demonstrates the gap between his martial soul and top-tier martial souls. Top-tier bird or flying martial souls possess innate flight abilities; that is the true manifestation of a top-tier beast martial soul.

Chen Junfeng's martial soul is a soft sword. All three of them are one-ring soul masters, but all possess yellow, hundred-year soul rings. Among them, Ouyang Junyi is the strongest, with his cultivation reaching level nineteen, while Chen Junfeng is at level eighteen. Zhao Haochen, being a food-type soul master, progresses relatively slowly, with his cultivation only at level seventeen.

After eating the chicken legs, the two agility-type Soul Masters pounced on Shen Yumo like two arrows, their speed surprising even Shen Yumo. However, he instantly realized that the chicken legs they had eaten had likely increased their speed!

Although it was fast, that was only in other people's eyes. In their own eyes, their trajectories seemed to have been slowed down tenfold.

Not only Zhou Yi would divide the class into groups, but the teachers of other classes would do the same. With Zhao Haochen assisting Ouyang Junyi and Chen Junfeng, they could undoubtedly maximize their speed advantage and win entirely through speed.

Besides the spike in his right hand, Ouyang Junyi's entire right arm was covered with a layer of feathers, making his body extremely light. As a fellow agility-type Soul Master, he arrived a step ahead of Chen Junfeng. His yellow Soul Rings shone brightly, and the spike in his hand instantly transformed into dozens of beams of light, covering Shen Yumo. He sneered, looking at that disdainful face, and recalling the humiliation of his previous defeat, he was filled with rage and slashed fiercely.

Although Chen Junfeng was a beat slower, it was clear that this was not the first time he had cooperated with Ouyang Junyi. Before he even arrived, he had already swung his short sword. His first soul ring shone brightly, and a sword beam shot out, slashing towards Shen Yumo from the front.

"Here it comes," Shen Yumo felt her body trembling. Was she afraid? No, it was the desire for battle, like a demon itching at her heart.

"That's it? Is that all?"

hum!

The sharp blade seemed poised to slice everything to shreds.

The Thousand Blades of Demonic Blade, glowing with a crimson purple light, appeared. He smirked wickedly, mobilizing all the soul power within his body. It was too weak, light and airy, without any strength at all.

In response to their attack, Shen Yumo moved, her Thousand Blades of Demonic Blade flashing out like lightning, directly meeting Ouyang Junyi's Sword-Beak Hummingbird Martial Soul.

With a clang, the sparking soft sword was slammed away, and even Chen Junfeng himself did not expect the force of the recoil to be so great!

His figure was slammed straight off the fighting arena.

With lightning speed, he spun around, and the demonic blade in his hand changed direction again, striking first and meeting Chen Junfeng's sword light head-on, his positioning flawless.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh..." Amidst a series of whooshing sounds, Ouyang Junyi was shocked to see that his Sword-Beaked Hummingbird Martial Soul's first Soul Skill, Beacon Crow Flash, pierced the purple-glowing blade that looked like a broken sword! His pupils contracted; the bird's beak touching the broken blade patterns only produced rings of golden light. Even with the Sword-Beaked Hummingbird's sharpness, it couldn't break through that broken strength. Immediately afterward, the hilt of that sword rapidly magnified in his eyes!

In that instant, Ouyang Junyi suddenly thought of a legendary figure among the freshmen!

Wielding a shattered purple blade, he possesses both formidable attack power and incredible speed!

Could it be...? Before he could think too much, his chest was jolted violently, and a sharp, intense pain numbed his entire body. Then, the excruciating pain was amplified instantly!

"hehe."

The audience was silent.
