He walked over to the assessment teacher and said something in a low voice. Then the assessment teacher nodded and looked in Han Yu's direction.
Soon, Bei Bei returned with a smile on his face.
"Brother Han Yu, I've already spoken to the assessment teacher for you. You can go take the assessment now!"
Han Yu fell silent. It seemed Bei Bei had probably pulled some strings and used his connections.
Han Yu glanced at Huo Yuhao, then strode forward. He was different from Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao had the Tang Sect's recommendation letter and could enroll directly without an exam.
He, on the other hand, had to take the assessment.
But that did not matter to him. He believed that with his soul power, passing this assessment should be simple.
Arriving at the spot where Bei Bei had been earlier, the assessment teacher looked at Han Yu with a smile. "You're Han Yu, right? Bei Bei has already told me about you, so I can give you a chance to take the assessment."
"Now show your Soul Rings, and hold out your right hand."
Han Yu nodded. One yellow and one purple Soul Ring rose from beneath his feet.
"Whoa! A thousand-year second ring? Where did this monster come from? That's terrifying!"
A new student who had just completed the assessment cried out in shock, his tone filled with disbelief.
It was not just him. The second- and third-year students responsible for maintaining order nearby were also staring at Han Yu, a new student, in shock.
The senior girls' focus was rather different.
"Wow! This new junior is so handsome. He even has a blade tucked behind his back, and his expression is so cool. I feel like he's even more handsome than Senior Bei Bei. What do you think?" a second-year senior girl in the Yellow School Uniform said to the female student beside her.
The other female student had a few freckles on her face and looked somewhat kawaii. At this moment, she also looked surprised.
"This junior really is very handsome, but I still think Senior Bei Bei has more charm. I still like someone a little older and more mature!"
"Tch, I still like this junior better. Just looking at him gives me such a feeling!"
"Hey, rein it in. Your drool is about to drip down. Could it be that your springtime has arrived?" the freckled female student said with a look of disdain, feeling embarrassed to have such a friend.
"Looks like Brother Han Yu is very popular," Bei Bei said with a smile as he stood beside Tang Ya.
"Tch, shallow," Tang Ya muttered from the side.
Regardless of what the others thought, the assessment teacher also looked surprised. He had not expected this student before him to give him such a pleasant surprise. Originally, he had only given him an assessment chance out of consideration for Bei Bei.
Who would have thought he had hooked a big fish? He reached out, felt Han Yu's hand, then nodded with a smile. "Your age is suitable. Let's test your soul power!"
After that, the assessment teacher took out another soul power Crystal Ball and gestured for Han Yu to place his hand on it.
A faint light shone, and it quickly stopped at level twenty-nine.
"Soul power level twenty-nine. You pass!" the assessment teacher said in delight.
Then he took out an application form and signaled for Han Yu to fill it in.
Han Yu picked it up and looked it over. It had a very simple list of information.
Age, martial soul, Soul Power Level. He glanced over it and filled in his basic information.
After registration was complete, Bei Bei and Tang Ya led Han Yu and Huo Yuhao into Shrek Academy.
The construction of Shrek Academy was rather beautiful. Ten huge statues stood in the plaza.
Han Yu fixed his gaze on the statue of a man with long blue hair, and a strange smile flickered across the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, seeing Han Yu staring at Tang San's statue, Tang Ya could not help saying with some pride, "That is the founder of our Tang Sect, Ancestor Tang San. His martial soul was also Blue Silver Grass, and now he has already ascended to godhood!"
After saying that, her expression dimmed slightly. "Although my martial soul is also Blue Silver Grass, it really can't compare to Ancestor Tang San's!"
"Who told you Tang San's martial soul was Blue Silver Grass?"
The calm voice rang out, instantly drawing the attention of Bei Bei, Tang Ya, and Huo Yuhao.
"It's recorded in historical materials. Besides, that's also how it's been passed down in our Tang Sect."
"First-generation Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang personally nurtured a publicly recognized Blue Silver Grass soul master into a god. That's common knowledge."
Tang Ya spoke in confusion, looking at Han Yu in surprise, as if she did not understand how Han Yu could be unaware of such basic knowledge.
"Common knowledge?"
"Heh!"
Han Yu sneered. "Since they're both Blue Silver Grass, why is your Blue Silver Grass so trash, Tang Ya, while your so-called Ancestor Tang San was able to become a god?"
"Don't tell me it's because you aren't working hard enough."
"You trained in the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, and Tang San did too. You both have Blue Silver Grass, and you're also studying at Shrek Academy. Yu Xiaogang once said that there are no trash martial souls, only trash soul masters."
"So tell me, which part do you fall under?"
Tang Ya's face flushed bright red. She opened her mouth, but for a moment, she was left speechless and did not know how to refute him.
Admit that she had not worked hard enough?
In truth, she worked harder than anyone, in places others could not see.
Admit that she was trash?
"It's because I myself am inferior to Ancestor Tang San."
After a moment of silence, Tang Ya could only say this.
Bei Bei also spoke up to comfort her at this moment. "Ancestor Tang San received Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's personal instruction. The results would definitely be much better than Xiao Ya studying alone at the academy. It's normal that she can't compare to Ancestor Tang San."
"Is that so? Then let me ask you this. Blue Silver Grass is generally considered a useless martial soul. You should already be able to feel your cultivation speed decreasing now, right?"
"And the further you go, the slower your improvement will become. One day, your soul power will stop progressing altogether."
Han Yu's calm words completely shattered Tang Ya's heart.
Tang Ya's eyes reddened, and her voice trembled slightly. "How do you know that?"
Bei Bei also looked utterly incredulous as he turned to Tang Ya and asked, "Xiao Ya, is what Han Yu said true? Has your cultivation speed decreased?"
Tang Ya slowly nodded and sobbed faintly. "Bei Bei, Han Yu is right. My cultivation speed really is declining. I estimate that after I reach Soul Ancestor, my speed will drop to a very slow level, and in the end, I might stop at Soul King."
"Why is my Blue Silver Grass like this? How did Ancestor Tang San cultivate to Titled Douluo? We both have Blue Silver Grass, so why is the gap so huge? Is it because I haven't worked hard enough?"
"But I clearly haven't slacked off at all. Usually, aside from going out with you, I stay in the dormitory cultivating. Why? Why is this happening?"
By the end, Tang Ya finally could not hold back anymore and threw herself into Bei Bei's arms, crying loudly.
Bei Bei gently patted Tang Ya's back, then turned to look at Han Yu. "Brother Han Yu, it seems you know something. You even know that Xiao Ya's cultivation speed has slowed."
Han Yu glanced at Tang Ya, who was crying bitterly, and said, "It's not that I know anything. This is common sense. Blue Silver Grass is publicly recognized as a useless martial soul. Aside from Tang San, have you ever seen any other Blue Silver Grass soul master cultivate to a very high level?"
Bei Bei shook his head and said unwillingly, "But Ancestor Tang San, he—"
