Chapter 13: Freshman Assessment

Su Yun Tian admitted he really had been stunned; Wang Dong'er was very pretty, perhaps because she was still young, only slightly inferior to Qian Renxue, but when she grew up she would definitely not be inferior to Qian Renxue.

Seeing Su Yun Tian keep staring at her, Wang Dong'er blushed: "I… am I pretty?"

Su Yun Tian's throat moved: "Good… good-looking."

"Still saying I'm a pervert?" Wang Dong'er gave a light hum, feeling somewhat satisfied.

"I won't say, I won't say." Su Yun Tian hurriedly shook his head; fortunately Tang San's divine sense had been shielded, otherwise seeing this scene he would probably vomit blood from anger on the spot.

"But, Wang Dong, what should we do now? You're a girl, it's not appropriate for us to live together."

"What's the big deal." Wang Dong'er lowered her head shyly, her voice pleasant: "As long as you and I don't tell, no one will know."

"Besides, you don't have to call me Wang Dong; in private you can call me Dong'er."

After telling Su Yun Tian her biggest secret, Wang Dong'er felt a wave of relief, no longer tense as before.

"How about it, idiot, didn't expect this young lady to be a girl?" She gave a light smile, speaking in a coquettish voice.

"Um, Wang Dong, ah no, Dong'er, actually I knew you were a girl from the start." Su Yun Tian scratched his head and said, "As the Light Goddess Butterfly, the most beautiful martial soul on the continent, only appears on females."

Wang Dong'er's face darkened, she gritted her teeth: "So you knew as soon as I arrived?"

"Yes." Su Yun Tian nodded.

"So you were just deliberately angering me?" Wang Dong'er's voice was no longer gentle, but rather icy.

To avoid getting beaten, Su Yun Tian hurriedly explained: "Although I know you're a girl, I haven't done anything over the line! Moreover, I didn't expose you because I think you must have your own hidden difficulties!"

He well knew, the more such a situation, the more he must pretend to be acting for her good.

"All right." Wang Dong'er thought, this guy seems never to have taken advantage of her.

"You must not tell a second person about this, got it!" She swung a fist at Su Yun Tian, fierce, revealing a little tiger tooth.

For some reason, seeing this scene Su Yun Tian actually found her somewhat cute; looking at her slightly puffed cheeks, he instinctively poked them.

Not to mention, it's like jelly.

"What are you doing!" Wang Dong'er's previous aura vanished instantly, like a startled fawn, her face turning completely red.

"It's fine, I just wanted to look." Su Yun Tian quickly withdrew his hand, changed the subject: "All right, you should hurry back to male attire, get some sleep, tomorrow's first match."

"Tch, what's there to prepare? At first we only run into low-level teams." Wang Dong'er, having restored male attire, said disdainfully.

Spirit Sea.

For some reason, looking at Wang Dong'er's original appearance, Qian Renxue always felt that face both familiar and unfamiliar.

As if she had seen it somewhere before.

At the same time, Huo Yuhao's dormitory.

His dormitory was not for two people, but single.

At this moment, a black bead appeared before him.

Huo Yuhao, face full of excitement, spoke to that bead:

"Teacher, I'm already level 25!"

"Hmm, not bad. When you reach level thirty, I'll teach you another necromancy technique." The old voice came from within the gray bead.

This person was Yi Laike Si.

"Your Spirit Eyes martial soul, after being nourished by my necromancy magic, has completely transformed; in quality it's not inferior to that Dai Huabin's, and then you can take revenge."

"Thank you, teacher!" Hearing the words "take revenge," Huo Yuhao's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness; toward Dai Huabin he wished to kill him, to avenge his mother.

But he knew the time had not yet come.

He basically couldn't kill another student under the eyes of many teachers.

Even if he really did, the White Tiger Duke would retaliate against him.

Only when he becomes the one who holds the sun and moon and plucks the stars can he act.

……

Next morning, the assessment area.

Shrek Academy's assessment area is located in the mid-north of the Martial Soul Department, adjacent to the Dou Soul Area.

Compared to the Dou Soul Area, the assessment area is much larger.

For Shrek Academy's outer institute students, this place is a paradise where outstanding students can display themselves, but also a nightmare for lower-cultivation students.

Each year many students are eliminated for failing the assessment, most of which take place in this assessment area.

The assessment area is oval-shaped, not like the Dou Soul Area which is an enclosed stadium, but an open field.

The perimeter is a low wall, inside it is divided by partitions into sections; these partitions can be dismantled at any time to change the area size.

Every year's freshman assessment occurs when the assessment area is divided into the most sections, not only because there are many freshmen, but also because freshmen have limited destructive power and attack range, so a small area suffices for them to display their abilities.

The entire assessment area is about twenty thousand square meters; at present it has been divided into fifty sections, each about four hundred square meters, i. e., squares twenty meters on a side.

For freshmen who generally have only one or two rings of cultivation, this is already enough.

After the tense morning grouping, the afternoon assessment officially began; since today is the first day of the assessment, to let freshmen adapt first, each group only needs to fight one match before leaving.

The academy dispatched fifty teachers to respectively handle assessment registration in the fifty sections.

Today's assessment opponents have already been determined by mid-morning lottery grouping.

They tried to ensure that in the upcoming ten-round robin, teams from the same class would not meet.

In total, 310 groups of freshmen participated in the assessment, comprising 929 individuals; of these 310 groups, ultimately only 150 groups could remain, officially becoming first-year students to continue studying, while the rest would be eliminated.

Studying at Shrek Academy, competition is undoubtedly fierce and brutal, but precisely because of this, under the tense atmosphere students can strive harder and also stimulate their potential, thus forming Shrek Academy's everlasting prosperous state.

There are fifty sections for the freshman assessment, meaning each section is assigned six or seven teams of participants.

Not only today, but tomorrow they will also have to compete in the same section against the other teams assigned to that section, until everyone has faced each other, then re‑group, ultimately completing each team's ten matches.

Su Yun Tian and Wang Dong were assigned to Section Seven, and soon arrived at their assigned assessment area.

At this moment, the not‑too‑large venue was already filled with people.

Some people had anxiety in their eyes, while others were clenching their fists and rubbing their palms, eager to try.
