The Eighth Trial: Individual Battles

"Teacher Shen, what are our current Points?" Wu Yang Jin asked.

"After the seven assessments, Wu Yang Jin scored 50 points. Tang Wu Lin scored 50 points. Xie Xie scored 42 points. Xu Xiaoyan scored 40 points. Hu Meier scored 41 points. Gu Yue scored 39 points."

Somewhat surprisingly, Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yue didn't take very long to run.

After running, Xu Xiaoyan actually challenged herself to do weighted squats, and she completed them perfectly.

For a moment, the others were also somewhat surprised, not expecting that Xu Xiaoyan had actually completed a weighted squat.

"Hehe, I'm awesome, right, class monitor?" Xu Xiaoyan said happily.

Xu Xiaoyan was overjoyed when she finished, never expecting that she could actually do it.

Therefore, so far, among the six members of Class Zero, Gu Yue actually has the lowest score.

Don't underestimate the difference of just one point. In the fourth and fifth levels, if you get zero points consecutively, even losing one point can be dangerous.

"Alright, next is your eighth assessment, which will be a comprehensive combat test. You will each face a student from the previous year's Shrek Academy. The opponent's abilities will be randomly selected."

"So, luck is also a part of strength. In a battle with them, lasting ten minutes is considered passing. Defeating the opponent is a perfect score. Between six and ten points depends on the actual performance in combat."

After listening to Shen Yi's explanation, Wu Yang Jin began to think: should they do it together or in order?

If they're all together, it will be more complicated for Xu Xiaoyan, but if they're done in order, then it'll be fine.

Moreover, real combat? Ridiculous. In terms of real combat, who among the six members of Class Zero would be afraid?

"By the way, Soul Tool cannot be used during combat, but all other means are permitted. As for Wu Yang Jin's special armor, it depends on the situation," Shen Yi said.

"By the way, Martial Aunt Shen, will our sparring be done together, or can we arrange the order ourselves?" Wu Yang Jin asked.

"Yes, no problem, you can arrange the order yourselves," Shen Yi replied.

Then, Wu Yang Jin made up his mind and discussed it with Tang Wu Lin.

"Everyone, since we can arrange things ourselves, Xu Xiaoyan's Martial Soul is stronger at night, so we'll let her go last. Also, the order of our battles, from first to fifth, is very important," Wu Yang Jin said.

"Therefore, we need someone to take the lead and put psychological pressure on the opposing team. At the same time, we need to unleash the most gold energy in each match, so that it will have an impact on those watching from the sidelines," Wu Yang Jin continued.

"That's right, so before Xu Xiaoyan goes into battle, our order of battle will be: me, Xie Xie, Gu Yue, Yang Jin, Hu Meier, and finally Xu Xiaoyan. Also, since there are many of us and it's almost evening, please try to keep track of the time," Tang Wu Lin concluded.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and then followed Shen Yi to the next eighth level, the place for actual combat.

Soon, they arrived at a series of circular rooms, which were much larger than the previous examination venues.

Since it's a real battle, the overall layout needs to be spacious and not too cluttered, and ten opponents are already waiting.

"Alright, now you can start choosing your opponents. But remember, once you choose, you can't change them. You have ten minutes to choose," Shen Yi reminded them.

Then, Wu Yang Jin and the others began to discuss how to choose their opponents, because this was Shrek, so they had to choose carefully.

"I think, after all, this is Shrek, and it's a real battle, so we can't choose opponents based on our old ideas. Therefore, when choosing an opponent, if they look too weak, it might not be a good idea," Wu Yang Jin said.

"That's right, and Shrek Academy is known as the Monster Academy after all. We also know its motto is that it only accepts monsters, not ordinary people. So, we must think carefully and not judge it with normal eyes," Tang Wu Lin said.

Gu Yue chose male student number one.

Xie Xie chose female student number nine.

Xu Xiaoyan chose male student number six, whose distinguishing feature was his muscular physique.

Hu Meier chose female student number eight.

Tang Wu Lin chose female student number ten.

"Hmm... who should I choose?" Wu Yang Jin wondered.

When it came to choosing people, everyone else made their choices relatively quickly, but they weren't just picking randomly. However, it was harder for me to make my own choice.

There are five people left to choose from. There are both men and women among them, and their strength is unknown.

Moreover, Wu Yang Jin is confident in his own strength and wants to try his luck against someone stronger.

However, it's not like he can just run into someone whenever he wants, so...

"Hmm? That person... looks rather thin, and quite tall," Wu Yang Jin thought.

As he spoke, he looked at a male student who appeared to be rather thin and tall, and also somewhat handsome.

"Hmm? That's what they say, but... I always feel like if this person dressed as a woman, wouldn't they look good?" Wu Yang Jin thought to himself.

"Wu Yang Jin, it's time to say your choice," Shen Yi reminded him.

"Okay, I've made my choice. My choice is that handsome guy, number two," Wu Yang Jin said, pointing at him.

That's exactly what he wanted to do, because if he wanted something different, then this seemingly thin person definitely wouldn't be weak.

"Alright, now that you've chosen your opponents, you can decide who goes first," Shen Yi said.

Then, following the established order, Tang Wu Lin went first, creating a sensation that would shock others.

Tang Wu Lin was the first to appear, and her opponent appeared to be an agility-based Soul Master, but her Snow Leopard Martial Soul was different.

On the contrary, although she is described as an agile attacker, this female Soul Master's Snow Leopard Martial Soul also has a very strong control effect.

At the very beginning, the tenth female student had her Soul Ring rings appear, three in total, two yellow and one purple.

Tang Wu Lin was unaware of this at first, but after becoming familiar with the Snow Leopard Martial Soul, he used time to delay his opponent.

Finally, amidst the fog, he lured the opponent to attack him, then seized the opportunity to capture them and win the game.

"Tang Wu Lin, victory, full marks of ten."

Tang Wu Lin had already scored a perfect 60, which meant he was guaranteed admission to the Outer Court.

Then, Xie Xie went on stage to fight against the female student he had chosen, number nine.

At the start, Xie Xie charged straight at his opponent, but the opponent seemed soft, cute, and rather weak.

But in reality, the next second, when the opponent revealed their Martial Soul, they almost completely controlled him.
