Oscar's Test

The selection process passed quickly, and in just five days, the most capable and talented students from the entire Shrek Academy were selected.

Because during the original Blue Tyrant Academy era, there weren't any outstanding geniuses in the academy, so according to Flender's original idea, he didn't intend to let others fill the ranks.

However, considering that the academy has now been renamed Shrek and that there are many alumni, and that such a selection competition can indeed motivate some students with perseverance, Flender ultimately decided to recruit a few students with decent talent and strength into the Shrek Academy.

Moreover, given their current age, they are capable of participating in the next Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament. They are already in their thirties, and the next All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament will be about six years away, which is enough time for them to be properly trained.

In addition to the original eight members of the Shrek Academy Oscar, the Shrek Team now includes Tai Long, who is 17 years old and at level 36; Jing Ling, who is 17 years old and at level 33; Huang Yuan; and Jiang Zhu is 17 years old and at level 32.

These four are all seventeen years old. In fact, if it weren't for Oscar and Dugu Yan being so exceptionally talented, their level would have already reached the pinnacle among commoner Soul Master.

Take Tai Long, for example. Although he can't be considered a top-tier genius, he can still be considered a genius by a large margin.

Judging from his current cultivation speed, he should be able to break through two more levels in the next eight or nine months. He will be level 38 at eighteen and will definitely be able to break through to level 40 or above by the time he is twenty.

In the Spirit Master World, reaching level 40 or above by the age of twenty is already considered exceptionally talented; true geniuses have always been extremely rare.

So sometimes Liu Erlong couldn't help but marvel at Flender's incredible luck. Although there weren't many people in the academy, they were all top geniuses in the Spirit Master World, destined to become pillars of the Spirit Master World in the future.

The Shrek Team selection competition has ended, and the Shrek Team has been officially established. Oscar has been appointed as the captain of the Shrek Academy Team, Dugu Yan has been appointed as the vice captain.

No one objected to the appointment, after all, the two men's abilities were undeniable. Anyone who disagreed could challenge them, and as long as they defeated their opponent, they could take their place.

Inside the villa, Oscar stood calmly on the Spirit Dueling Platform, with Dugu Yan standing beside Oscar, and below them were Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, and others.

Oscar's gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Tai Long, Jing Ling, Huang Yuan, and Jiang Zhu.

Oscar's calm voice rang out. "Although the four of you have now joined the Shrek Team, I don't yet have a clear understanding of your abilities, so I need to test you before I begin training."

Upon hearing this Tai Long and his three companions looked at Oscar, awaiting Oscar test.

Oscar continued, "I believe you have all seen that Tang San, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu and the others have similar Soul Power Level to yours. I am already very familiar with their strength, so this test is very simple. Each of you will have a Soul Fighting battle match."

Hearing this, the four of Tai Long were overjoyed. Before Oscar came to the Shrek Academy, they were the top geniuses in the academy, and could be said to be the best students in the eyes of their classmates and teachers.

But when Oscar arrived, their aura vanished instantly, especially when they learned that Oscar was only fifteen years old, which surprised them and filled them with admiration.

They have already achieved so much at such a young age, and apart from Tang San and a few others, everyone else on the Shrek Team has reached level 40 or above, so they don't need to participate in the selection competition at all.

The fact that Oscar could make these people, these geniuses, obey him so completely undoubtedly proves Oscar's strength once again.

Although they don't yet know Oscar's exact strength, he's at least level 40 or higher, right? They're powerless against Oscar, and they're even embarrassed to use their original title of genius at the academy. But if they were facing an opponent of the same level, they might not be afraid.

Now, upon hearing Oscar's name, Tai Long, Jing Ling, and Huang Yuan all want to prove themselves, after all, they were once hailed as geniuses and the pride of the academy.

"Captain, is this a team battle or an individual battle?" Tai Long asked.

Oscar glanced at him, then calmly said, "You have no chance of winning the team battle. Let's try the individual battle. If any one of you can win the individual battle, I'll give you the opportunity to show yourselves in the team battle."

Upon hearing this, Tai Long and the other three frowned, clearly not believing Oscar's words. The four of them had been working together seamlessly for several years. Although Tang San and his group's Soul Power Level was slightly higher than theirs, team battles weren't just about Soul Power Level.

Although none of the four were Control System Spirit Master, Tang San, despite being Control System Spirit Master, possessed the Trash Spirit Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. Although it was unclear why Blue Silver Grass could be cultivated so quickly, he still couldn't shake off the title of Trash Spirit.

Although Tang San performed well in the previous team selection competition, his Soul Power Level was far superior, reaching Soul Power Level of thirty-six, which surpassed everyone else in the academy.

However, Tai Long has now broken through to level 36 and doesn't take Tang San's Blue Silver Grass seriously at all, because in his opinion, Blue Silver Grass, a Trash Spirit, cannot possibly restrain him.

However, the four of them did not show any dissatisfaction, because they were well aware of Oscar's strength. They might not approve of Blue Silver Grass as a Trash Spirit, but they dared not talk back to Oscar.

Because Oscar's background seems to be extraordinary in addition to his strength. At least the usually stern Erlong is very close to Oscar, and the same goes for Dean Flender and Vice Dean Zhao Wuji.

Tai Long finally replied, "We understand."

Oscar nodded, then said, "Will you draw lots, or will I decide the opponents?"

Upon hearing this question, Tang San, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu replied, "The captain will decide."

Oscar turned to look at Tai Long and the others, and after finding that they had no objections, he said, "Tang San against Tai Long, Zhu Zhuqing against Jing Ling, Xiao Wu against Huang Yuan."

"Jiang Zhu, you are free to assist Tai Long and the other two during the process. How you assist them is up to you, and this is also a test for you."

"If Tai Long and his team can win because of your help, I can give you a separate reward."

Upon hearing Oscar's words, everyone except the original Shrek Academy members, including Tai Long, was stunned for a moment.

Jiang Zhu originally thought she wouldn't have such an assessment, after all, she was just Support System Spirit Master, but she didn't expect the captain to give her such a task.

She wasn't stupid; she knew this was a test of her support abilities. The most important thing for Support System Spirit Master is to provide precise support within the team, and she had received specialized training in this area.

However, Tai Long and the others are fighting one-on -Soul Fighting. If I were to assist them, wouldn't that give them an innate advantage? Winning wouldn't be honorable, and losing would be incredibly shameful! Tai Long and Tang San are both level 36. Assisting him would be bullying Tang San, wouldn't it? Besides, Tang San's Martial Soul is only the Trash Spirit Blue Silver Grass.

Jing Ling and Huang Yuan are alright, both only at level 33, while Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu are already at level 35 and 34 respectively, so assisting Jing Ling and Huang Yuan isn't really bullying them.

For a moment, Jiang Zhu was at a loss for words.

The three of Tai Long shared the same thought. One-on-one is fine, but to give them a support role is just insulting. Does this mean they look down on them? They admire Oscar's skill and talent, but such an insult is intolerable to them.

Tai Long retorted directly, "Captain, what do you mean? One-on-one is fine, but what's the point of us bringing a support? Winning isn't honorable, and losing is shameful!"

Faced with Tai Long's questioning, Oscar just smiled and said, "I know what you're thinking. What's with the fear of losing and losing in a dishonorable way? Even with a support player, you still have to worry about losing. It seems your skills aren't that great."

Upon hearing this, Tai Long and the others' expressions instantly turned ugly. Oscar continued, "In my eyes, strength is everything. Since you feel that I look down on you and that I don't respect you, then use your strength to prove me wrong."

"I've successfully proven you wrong, so I'll apologize to you and reward each of you with 100,000 Gold Soul Coin. How about that?"

Hearing Oscar's words, Tai Long and the others still looked grim, but since Oscar had already said that, what could they possibly say in response? The best rebuttal was to prove themselves with their own abilities and demonstrate Oscar's judgment.

After a long silence, Tai Long and the others replied, "Okay!"

Oscar's smile remained unchanged, "Since you've agreed, I'll add one more thing. If you lose even with support, you'll have to follow my instructions obediently from now on. Can you do that?"

This time, Tai Long and the others didn't hesitate and replied loudly, "Understood!"

"Alright, alright." Oscar smiled. "Then come with me to the training hall. There are three adjacent Spirit Dueling Platform there."

The group arrived at the Shrek Team's dedicated training hall. This time, no one wasted any words. Oscar gave each of them ten minutes to prepare, not caring whether they were analyzing their opponents or meditating to recover. He casually sat in the rest area with Dugu Yan and the others, watching the seven people around the Spirit Dueling Platform.

Tang San against Tai Long, Zhu Zhuqing against Jing Ling, Xiao Wu against Huang Yuan, and Jiang Zhu, as Support System Spirit Master, Tai Long support the three of them without any restrictions or being targeted. All she has to do is showcase her support abilities!

Before entering the training hall, Oscar addressed Tang San and his two companions in front of everyone, saying, "If you win, there will be no reward. But if any of you loses, you must give the other person 100,000 Gold Soul Coin. If that's not enough, you'll have to work for them."

Upon hearing Oscar's words, Tang San, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu all twitched at the corners of their mouths. If it were just a simple one-on-one fight, none of the three of them would be afraid; in fact, they would feel quite relaxed.

They already knew the strength of Tai Long and his teammates from the previous team qualifiers. Although Tai Long and his teammates were indeed talented, they were still somewhat inferior to them.

However, it's not a simple one-on-one situation now. With the participation of Jiang Zhu, Support System Spirit Master, she can provide assistance to Tai Long and the other two at any time. Since no one will target her, she can provide assistance until her Soul Power is exhausted.

Jiang Zhu's Soul Power is at level thirty-two, and her support abilities are not weak. Although she is not as good as Ning Rongrong, she is definitely an outstanding person among her peers.

With the addition of such a support Soul Master, the situation became somewhat unfavorable for Tang San and his companions.

Therefore, this is not only a test for Oscar and Tai Long, but also a test for Tang San and his two companions.

Dai Mubai moved Ma Hongjun away from Oscar and whispered in Oscar's ear, "Captain, do you think Zhuqing has a good chance of winning?"

Oscar looked up at Dai Mubai: "What, you don't believe Zhuqing? Or have you already prepared 100,000 Gold Soul Coin?"

Dai Mubai rolled his eyes. "Keep your voice down, don't let Zhuqing hear you."

"It's not that I don't trust Zhuqing. Although her Soul Power Level is one level higher than Jing Ling's, with Jiang Zhu's healing assistance, that one level advantage in Soul Power will be negated, or even surpassed."

Oscar glanced at the four of them, including Tai Long, who were discussing, and smiled, "This is not only a test for Tai Long and his group, but also for Zhuqing and the others. If you can't even overcome this little difficulty after following me for so long, then I will have to re-evaluate your strength and talent."

Hearing this, Ma Hongjun chuckled and said, "Mu Bai, you're more worried than the emperor is. Zhuqing herself doesn't have this pressure, but you're the one who's already worried."

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai glared at Ma Hongjun: "Get out of here. If Rongrong were up there right now, wouldn't you be worried?"

Ma Hongjun smiled and said, "Don't worry, Rongrong is level 39 now. With the boss's Copy Sausage, even Tang San might not be a match for Rongrong."

Ning Rongrong, who was next to Dugu Yan, smiled and said, "Mu Bai, don't worry, Zhuqing will be fine. And don't forget how strict our Senior Student was with us before. Zhuqing can definitely overcome this difficulty."

Hearing these comforting words, Dai Mubai gradually calmed down. He wasn't afraid that Zhu Zhuqing would lose and give away 100,000 Gold Soul Coin, but rather that Zhu Zhuqing would let down Oscar's cultivation and trust. That's why Dai Mubai was so worried.

After calming down, Dai Mubai realized that his worries were unnecessary. After all, he knew firsthand how difficult Oscar's training was, and he didn't believe that Zhu Zhuqing could be defeated so easily.

Once he regained his composure, Dai Mubai stopped asking questions and focused his attention on Zhu Zhuqing.

Ten minutes passed quickly. Tai Long, Jing Ling, Huang Yuan, and Jiang Zhu discussed a lot, but no one knew what they discussed.

Oscar put down his cup and stood up. "Tang San and Tai Long Spirit Dueling Platform the first arena. Zhu Zhuqing and Jing Ling Spirit Dueling Platform. Xiao Wu and Huang Yuan Spirit Dueling Platform. Jiang Zhu can do whatever she wants."

Upon hearing Oscar's words, the four people offstage split into three groups and each went up to the Spirit Dueling Platform. Jiang Zhu went to the center of the three Spirit Dueling Platform so that she could give out her support as quickly as possible.
