Chapter 57 Rule-Based Martial Soul, Time Flies
"Throughout the entire freshman assessment process, only six teams were able to achieve a perfect record, and Wang Dong'er's team was one of them."
At this point, Mu Jin couldn't help but smile.
There are only four people with three-ring Soul Master status in the freshman class, and one of them is in her class.
Unfortunately, if they could have replaced Huo Yuhao with Ning Tian from Class 9, this team would have been even more invincible.
On the surface, Huo Yuhao, who was admitted through special admissions, did not seem to have any talent. Of course, the most bizarre thing was his white, number one spirit ring of the past ten years.
In this respect, Huo Yuhao certainly has a great advantage in playing dumb to outmaneuver others.
"Next, those of you who didn't pass the freshman assessment can pack up and prepare to leave Shrek Academy." At this point, Mu Jin sighed softly.
That's how it is at Shrek Academy—survival of the fittest.
Only those who are talented and strong enough can stay in the academy to continue their studies.
Of course, there were also students who were maliciously expelled because of Zhou Yi's stupidity, such as her younger brother.
But the new and old grudges between her and Zhou Yi go far beyond this.
Seeing the students who failed the test either crying or silently packing up and leaving, Mu Jin paused for a moment before continuing, "Alright, now, to those of you who passed the test, first of all, I want to congratulate you on successfully staying at Shrek Academy."
"However, this does not mean that you can stay at Shrek Academy to study indefinitely. Every year, many students are unable to continue studying at the academy because they fail the promotion assessment."
"So, no matter what your grades are for staying on, don't be complacent. It's very possible that you'll be kicked out in the next promotion assessment!"
"Now I will read out the rules for the upcoming top 64 ranking competition. Teams that do not have enough points to enter the top 64 can go back and train on their own."
Although it's called a ranking competition, it actually uses the rules of an elimination tournament. The losers go back to train, while the winners stay and continue until the top three teams are determined, at which point the first-year classes are divided.
There will be two games every day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
The original assessment area for new students has now been re-divided into 32 larger areas.
After the teams are drawn to determine the matchups, the top 64 teams with the highest scores in the freshman assessment will compete for the top 32 spots in these 32 areas.
Then these 32 areas will be re-divided into 16 larger areas before the next competition, and so on.
This is also why the assessment area is not strictly divided, but only uses partitions, which makes it easier to divide the area.
In the assessment area, in addition to the homeroom teachers of each class, many other teachers also came to watch the competition.
Finally, a burly, dark-faced man in his fifties arrived. He had a cold expression and kept scanning the room, as if someone owed him gold coins.
Upon seeing him arrive, most of Shrek's teachers nodded and greeted him.
"Director Du."
"Hmm," Du Weilen nodded in response indifferently.
As the Dean of the Martial Spirit Department of the External Academy of Shrek Academy, Du Weilun can be said to be second only to the Dean of the External Academy.
Du Weilun is also responsible for the evaluation and promotion of teachers from other departments.
Once Du Weilun had taken his place, he first picked up the list in his hand and started calling out names according to the list. After confirming that all the trainees had arrived, he coughed twice and began his long-winded speech.
In her previous life, Wang Dong'er hated all these formalities, especially these endless platitudes, which were both pointless and a waste of time. So she simply closed her eyes and began to meditate, ignoring Du Weiren.
Huo Yuhao glanced at Du Weilun, whose face had turned ashen and who had clearly noticed what was happening, and couldn't help but give Wang Dong'er a thumbs up in his heart.
However, although he had noticed this, Du Weilun did not warn Wang Donger in public. Instead, he ignored it in anger.
After the long mobilization and brainwashing rhetoric ended, the draw for the top 32 competition finally began.
As expected, once Xiao Xiao unleashed her soul bone skill, the Nine Cauldrons Sealing Formation, no one could withstand it.
Even if she can't freeze the opponent for three seconds, the control time provided by this soul skill is enough for Wang Dong'er to defeat her enemy.
During the freshman assessment, not many people actually paid attention to Wang Dong'er and the other two. Huang Chutian and the Lan sisters only studied them because the assessment areas were close to each other, and they used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill as a trump card at the beginning.
Now, Wang Dong'er and her two companions' dominance in the competition has once again surprised the proctors in this assessment area.
He had been proctoring the freshman assessments for several years, but he had never seen such a clean and decisive battle, with the opponent having almost no ability to retaliate.
This situation of instant elimination upon first meeting continued until the round of 16, when it finally stopped with one team.
This is a team from Class 10 of the freshmen, and all members are second-ring Grand Soul Masters.
The team leader was named Zhou Sichen, and the other two members were named Long Xiangyue and Cao Jinxuan. The former was an agility-type Soul Master, and the latter was a control-type Soul Master.
The martial spirits of the three of them are also quite unique.
Zhou Sichen, a powerful offensive Soul Master, actually possesses a martial soul that is a book called the Treasure Manual.
Generally speaking, in the Douluo Continent, book-type martial souls have always been considered useless martial souls, just like Blue Silver Grass.
However, Zhou Sichen's Treasure Manual Martial Soul granted him level seven innate soul power, and there were no attribute restrictions on absorbing soul rings. He could make sure that his first soul ring was fire-attribute and his second soul ring was ice-attribute.
When the book was opened in Zhou Sichen's hands, it emitted two beams of light, which transformed into a brown bear and a tiger.
This is the effect of Zhou Sichen's soul skill: it can directly absorb the soul beasts that have been killed and turn them into abilities.
As a control-type character, Cao Jinxuan's martial soul is a weapon martial soul called the Time-Fleeting Bell, which is extremely rare among weapon martial souls and possesses time-related abilities.
This is the rule-based martial soul that Wang Dong'er was curious about.
There's not much to say about Long Xiangyue, the last one. It's a boomerang-type martial spirit, which is quite ordinary compared to Zhou Sichen and Cao Jinxuan.
The reason she didn't instantly kill these three second-ring Soul Masters was simply because Wang Dong'er really wanted to experience their abilities firsthand.
As for the result, all that can be said is that after the novelty wore off, all that remained was a cold, swift defeat.
Although Zhou Sichen's martial soul and soul skills are special, they can still be imprisoned by Xiao Xiao's Nine Cauldrons Sealing Formation.
That's right, even the soul beasts summoned by those two soul skills can be imprisoned.
The only exception is Cao Jinxuan. Through this strange rule-based martial soul, he can actually break free from the confinement of the Nine Cauldrons Sealing Formation.
This was the first time Xiao Xiao's Nine Cauldrons Sealing Formation, which had always been invincible, had failed, and it made Xiao Xiao somewhat alarmed.
