Freshman Assessment Was About to Begin

"All right, kid. It's almost time."

Inside the Sea of Spirit, Electrolux spoke.

"Elder Yi, I've troubled you during this time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Junting's consciousness slowly returned to the outside world. At the same time, he slowly opened his eyes in the dormitory.

It had already been three months since he came to the academy. In a few days, it would be time for the Freshman Assessment.

During these three months, he had not only relied on the benefits Gold of Life had brought him to break through to the peak of Rank 35, but had also made significant progress in spiritual power. Besides that, he entered the Sea of Spirit every night to learn Magic Patterns and Soul Guidance Arrays from Electrolux.

It could be said that his life had been exceptionally fulfilling.

"Dugu, we should go."

He gathered his thoughts, and his expression sharpened.

After calling out to Dugu Xin, who was still cultivating, the two quickly went to the Cafeteria for breakfast before hurrying to the classroom.

Because today was the day the Freshman Assessment groups would be formed.

In the Class Nine classroom.

Although it was not yet time for class, the room was already almost full.

From everyone's conversations, it was clear that they were looking forward to the Freshman Assessment. Of course, quite a few wore worried expressions as well. Those were the students whose strength was lacking.

However, the moment Chen Junting and Dugu Xin entered the classroom, all conversation instantly stopped. Then, as if they had reached a tacit agreement, everyone turned their eyes toward Chen Junting.

The meaning behind it was self-evident.

With Chen Junting around, they had a great chance of winning the championship. Even if they only made it to the Elimination Tournament, they could simply lie back and win their way through.

Thus, Chen Junting had undoubtedly become a hot commodity.

However, he ignored those gazes completely. He walked straight through the desks with Dugu Xin and sat down beside Ning Tian.

"You're very popular," Ning Tian teased lightly as she brushed aside her long hair, which had begun to take shape over the past three months.

"As long as Teacher Stone arranges it, I don't mind."

Chen Junting's gaze swept across the room. He was highly respected in the class, and that single glance was enough to make everyone who had turned to look quickly straighten their heads. Only then did he look back at Ning Tian.

"Since we're taking advantage of the Freshman Assessment, we can see which students have potential. Shrek Academy may look down on them, but our Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has a vast foundation and welcomes everyone."

"Mm."

Ning Tian nodded slightly. This was one of the reasons they had come to Shrek Academy to study, so she naturally had not forgotten it.

Just then, Wang Dong suddenly came over and asked, "How are you planning to choose your cultivation direction?"

Huo Yuhao was standing beside him as well.

"Unless something unexpected happens, the five of you should end up in the same class." Ning Tian smiled faintly and spoke frankly. She did not feel particularly reluctant about the six of them being assigned to different classes.

"The five of us?"

Wang Dong was stunned. He glanced at Huo Yuhao, who likewise intended to choose the Control System, and could not quite process it.

"Could it be that all of you are choosing the Control System?"

The moment those words came out, everyone was dumbfounded!

All choosing the Control System?

What nonsense were you talking about?

Chen Junting, on the other hand, realized what was happening. A smile suddenly appeared at the corners of his lips, growing more pronounced by the second. "Wang Dong, don't tell me you thought each system would have one class, and since Yuhao chose the Control System, you planned to choose it too."

Then he added, as if twisting the knife, "Assault and control are inseparable."

"Pfft!"

Hearing Chen Junting's words and seeing Wang Dong's face instantly flush red, how could Ning Tian and the others not understand that this was exactly what Wang Dong had been thinking? Ning Tian and Dugu Xin immediately struggled to hold back their laughter, while Wu Feng burst out laughing.

"Stop laughing, stop laughing!"

When he saw everyone else in the class looking over curiously, Wang Dong hurriedly flung himself at Wu Feng, covering her mouth tightly with both hands while desperately explaining, "I just didn't want to be separated from Yuhao before! How was I supposed to know the Martial Soul Department would divide its classes like this afterward?"

The more Wang Dong explained, the messier things became. Not only did Huo Yuhao want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, but the other students in the class also wore expressions of "I don't understand, but I respect it." Quite a few lovestruck girls even glared viciously at Huo Yuhao, because their hearts had shattered into pieces at that moment.

However, just then...

"Wang Dong! What are you doing?"

The entire class fell silent!

At that moment, Stone was standing at the classroom entrance, holding a thick stack of forms. She was also glaring angrily at Wang Dong, who was covering Wu Feng's mouth with both hands. After all, the posture of Wang Dong and Wu Feng was truly strange.

One was on top, and one was underneath.

It looked just like a boy teasing a girl.

"Ah! Teacher, listen to my explanation!"

As if he had also realized that something was wrong with his current position, Wang Dong hurriedly tried to get up and explain, but Stone waved her hand and stopped him.

"All right, I don't have time to investigate your affairs right now. Hurry back to your seat." With that, she walked over and handed the forms in her hands to Ning Tian for distribution. They were for everyone to fill out their choices for their future cultivation directions.

Once everyone had received a form, Stone continued.

"You should all know that the Freshman Assessment is next. After the Freshman Assessment, the students who remain will officially become First Years and will be assigned to classes. The Assault System and Control System will form Class One; the Agility-Attack System and Defense System will form Class Two; the Support System that can provide direct assistance in battle will form Class Three; and the remaining mixed-type Soul Masters will form Class Four, such as Food System and Healing System Soul Masters."

Everyone listened intently to Stone's explanation.

After all, choosing a class would affect their future cultivation.

Once she finished speaking, Stone changed the subject. "Of course, ten classes becoming four also means that many freshmen will be eliminated during the upcoming assessment. But I hope that not a single member of Class Nine will be eliminated. Next, I'll explain the rules of the Freshman Assessment. The Freshman Assessment is divided into the Round Robin and the Elimination Tournament. The Round Robin determines whether you will be eliminated, and is the key to whether you will be expelled..."

Under Stone's explanation, the framework of the Freshman Assessment quickly took shape in the minds of everyone in Class Nine. After all, not a single person wanted to be expelled and leave the number-one Soul Master Academy on the continent.

However, quite a few people also revealed troubled expressions.

Because they were not confident in their own strength.

But being expelled...

Just thinking about it made them unwilling to accept it!

Soon, however, Stone gave them a glimmer of hope.

"Of course, there is another type of Freshman Assessment."

The moment she said this, quite a few people's attention was drawn to her.

Seeing this, Stone could not help raising the corners of her lips. "If you aren't confident in the Martial Soul Department's Freshman Assessment, you can also take the Soul Engineer Department's Freshman Assessment. Although I don't know the specific contents, judging from how difficult it is for the Soul Engineer Department to recruit students, its Freshman Assessment should definitely be easier than the Martial Soul Department's."

Upon hearing the words "Soul Engineer Department," conflicted expressions appeared in the eyes of many students. Most of them looked down on the Soul Engineer Department but still wanted to remain at the academy.

Seeing this scene, Chen Junting could not help shaking his head. Those fellows thought that they would have a high chance of passing if they went to take the Soul Engineer Department's assessment. Yet they did not know that, given their attitude toward the Soul Engineer Department, merely accepting it would already be difficult, let alone studying it.

By then, Stone's explanation of the Freshman Assessment had also ended.

Everyone had finished choosing their cultivation directions as well.

Thus, after Stone glanced over the forms and confirmed that her earlier preparations were more or less in order, she directly began forming the groups.

"Group One: Chen Junting..."
