The Shocked Test Teacher

"Let's test your Soul Power Level!"

After waiting a while, it was finally Su Mo's turn to step forward. Behind him, there was no one else left.

"Mm!"

Su Mo answered, then placed both hands on the Testing Crystal Ball.

"Level 22. Barely passed. What quality are your two soul rings? Release your martial soul and let me see."

After the assessment teacher saw Su Mo's Soul Power Level, he spoke in a flat voice.

There was no pleasant surprise, only a businesslike tone.

The second trial was not just about testing Soul Power Level. It also examined the quality of the soul rings; only those outstanding enough could enter the next trial.

In his eyes, Su Mo's Soul Power Level was simply far too ordinary.

Although Dean Flender had never said it outright, he knew that over all these years, anyone whose Soul Power Level did not exceed level 25 had never successfully enrolled.

Shrek Academy's admission standard was actually level 25.

Setting it at level 21 was merely to earn registration fees.

Once again feeling that disapproving tone and attitude from these testing teachers, Su Mo gave a faint snort in his heart, then said, "My First Soul Ring is of five-hundred-year quality, and my second soul ring is of one-thousand-year quality!"

Su Mo selectively lowered the numbers a little.

Buzz—

As he spoke, Su Mo also took the initiative to release his soul rings. One yellow and one purple soul ring instantly appeared around him.

As for his martial soul, it had been carried on Su Mo's back the entire time, so there was no need to summon it.

"What?"

"It's actually a Thousand Year Soul Ring..."

The assessment teacher, who had originally been sitting there calmly the whole time, immediately stood up in surprise when he saw the two soul rings released from Su Mo's body.

He had not expected that a little brat at level 22 would have such a terrifying soul ring configuration.

Five hundred years and one thousand years—the quality of both soul rings far surpassed ordinary people's.

It was simply too unbelievable!

"Can I pass?"

Seeing the assessment teacher's shocked expression, Su Mo smiled smugly inwardly, then asked the assessment teacher.

"Y-yes. You've passed the second trial's test..."

Hearing Su Mo's words, the assessment teacher forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart before announcing to Su Mo in a much gentler tone.

This little brat before him was clearly a monster too!

Originally, he still needed to test whether Su Mo's soul rings met the standard, but after seeing the purple Thousand Year Soul Ring that was Su Mo's second soul ring, he knew there was no need.

Even if Su Mo's First Soul Ring was less than three hundred years old, just the fact that his second soul ring was a Thousand Year Soul Ring was enough for him to pass directly.

"How about this? You don't need to take the third trial either!"

"There happens to be no one left to test behind you, so I'll take you to the final trial!"

After that, the assessment teacher glanced behind Su Mo, then spoke to him.

The third trial tested the effects of one's soul skills. If the effects of the soul skills failed to meet the requirements, Shrek Academy would not accept them either.

But just based on the fact that Su Mo's second soul ring was a Thousand Year Soul Ring, he did not believe Su Mo's soul skill effects would be poor, so he directly exempted Su Mo from the third trial.

"All right. Thank you, teacher!"

Su Mo naturally agreed when he heard this.

"Let's go. I'll take you to the final trial!"

The assessment teacher smiled, then led Su Mo toward the direction of the final trial.

When Su Mo followed the assessment teacher to the final trial, he happened to see Tang San and the other three undergoing Teacher Zhao Wuji's assessment, and they had already started fighting.

"Zhao Wuji actually went in personally!"

The assessment teacher who had brought Su Mo over was also extremely surprised at the sight. Then he walked over to Dai Mubai at the side and asked, "Dai Mubai, what's going on?"

"Teacher Lu Qibin, Teacher Zhao Wuji suddenly wanted to do it himself!"

When Dai Mubai saw the assessment teacher bringing Su Mo over, he immediately answered.

"It's you? You actually made it to the fourth trial too!"

Then Dai Mubai also noticed Su Mo and was slightly surprised.

Those under level 25 who could reach the fourth trial were few and far between, and usually, they would still be eliminated at the fourth trial.

"Let's watch their assessment first!"

"Good grief, even someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect came..."

"His other martial soul is actually Blue Silver Grass..."

After Teacher Lu Qibin nodded, he spoke casually.

At that moment, his attention had been completely drawn by the battle on the field.

Su Mo had also been watching Zhao Wuji's fight against Tang San and the others for a while now.

After six years as classmates, this was only the second time he had seen Tang San make a move. The first had been when Tang San fought the son of Notting City's lord.

Tang San's use of Blue Silver Grass, Xiao Wu's Soft Bone Rabbit soul skills, Zhu Zhuqing's agility, and Ning Rongrong's support soul skills.

But Su Mo's gaze still fell mostly on Tang San.

It was not that Su Mo had taken a liking to Tang San; he envied the movement technique Tang San displayed.

"So this is Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track... It really is marvelous!"

Watching Tang San shift rapidly with just a few quick steps, flickering like a ghostly shadow, Su Mo was extremely envious.

All he could say was that it truly lived up to being a footwork technique from Tang San's previous world of martial heroes—or perhaps immortal cultivators.

Su Mo also knew some footwork, but it was really only foot movement in combat, unlike what Tang San displayed, which was almost like a soul skill.

Su Mo also knew that Tang San's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Mystic Jade Hand, and other techniques all needed to be used together with a mental cultivation method, which was why they could show effects similar to soul skills.

Or rather, the techniques Tang San had mastered in his previous life and cultivated now belonged to Tang San's Self-Created Soul Skills in this world.

Su Mo, however, had not had any internal energy cultivation methods in his previous life, so naturally he did not know these things.

And just like with internal energy cultivation methods, Su Mo also could not create one himself.

For example, the New Cultivation Technique Su Mo had created himself had only been gradually perfected according to the natural pathways Soul Power took when entering the body. It was completely different from Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill.

"I don't know internal energy cultivation methods, nor things like Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!"

"But in the end, they're all being displayed now in the form of soul skills. I can develop them further based on soul skills..."

"My Second Soul Skill's preliminary effect is to use lightning to stimulate the body and strengthen speed. I can completely master that part on its own. That way, I'll have a footwork technique for rapid movement too..."

As Su Mo watched Tang San's figure, light shifted through his eyes.

Su Mo was also very daring. Using Soul Power to randomly experiment inside his body to create some internal cultivation method was something Su Mo did not dare do.

But boldly attempting something based on what already existed—Su Mo was still willing to give that a try.

It was only further developing the use of a soul skill. There were many soul masters in this world who did things like that.

Bang—

Bang—

As Su Mo came up with the idea of using his Second Soul Skill to develop a footwork technique, the battle on the field also reached its end.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were defeated by Zhao Wuji one after another.

Tang San caught Xiao Wu, which counted as him giving up automatically. Holding Xiao Wu in his arms, Tang San had no mind for battle at all now, only caring about Xiao Wu's injuries.

"Little girl from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, you're the only one left. No need for me to make a move, right?"

Zhao Wuji looked at the last remaining Ning Rongrong and grinned.

When Ning Rongrong saw Zhao Wuji's fierce smile, her beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and she hurriedly withdrew the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda in her hand.

Clearly, she had also given up.

"Oh? Another little brat has actually come to the fourth test?"

Afterward, Zhao Wuji also noticed Su Mo.

Then he grinned at Su Mo as well. "Well? After seeing how they ended up, do you still want to continue the test?"
