Humanity Gate

Even if it were available, Xie Xie really wanted it, in a sense, there wouldn't be anything wrong with that.

However, in the end, everyone made the same choice, so in terms of the outcome, everyone was happy.

"Let's leave it at that then, it'll be a win-win situation for everyone," Wu Yang Jin said.

Suddenly, just as everyone had made their decision, a roar was heard from outside.

Because, suddenly, they saw that the huge Three-Eyed Golden Lion had returned.

"Um, they are my friends, they won't hurt your child, okay?" Wu Yang Jin said as he walked over.

"Aww... hiss..."

Then, the giant Three-Eyed Golden Lion slowly shrank its body and entered the cave.

"Awooo..." The giant Three-Eyed Golden Lion walked up to Wu Yang Jin and looked at him.

Then, Wu Yang Jin patted its head, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion closed its eyes.

Before long, the young Three-Eyed Golden Lion also ran over and became affectionate with the huge Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Wu Yang Jin stood to the side, stroking the fur of the two Emperor Auspicious Beast with both hands.

"Looking at it this way, Xie Xie, what you said seems to make sense. We really do seem like a family," Xu Xiaoyan said.

"A family..." x2, Hu Meier and Gu Yue thought at the same time.

Looking at the scene before her, Hu Meier's thoughts differed from Gu Yue's, but she couldn't help but think of that time.

Gu Yue, having witnessed it all from the beginning, understands very well the current situation.

"Speaking of which, I think I understand now. This should be the target this time. Although, I don't know why," Wu Yang Jin said.

"Well then, let's go out," Wu Yang Jin continued.

Afterwards, Wu Yang Jin prepared to call everyone to leave this place and depart from this journey to the Spirit Ascension Platform.

"Ouch!"

At this moment, the cub, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, cried out again.

"Hmm? Little one, we're leaving now. Although... no, it's definitely time. You must take good care of yourself, and also take good care of your mother, understand?" Wu Yang Jin said.

"Also, it might be fate that we met. Perhaps I should thank you, after all, you are Auspicious Beast." This is what Wu Yang Jin said to the giant Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Then, the giant Three-Eyed Golden Lion, with a resolute gaze, finally cuddled with Wu Yang Jin.

The young Three-Eyed Golden Lion was clearly reluctant to part with the animal, but it only showed some excessive affection.

"Goodbye, little guy, and goodbye to you too," Wu Yang Jin said to them.

"Then, let's go back, everyone," Wu Yang Jin continued.

"Hmm!" x5

Then, with the two Auspicious Beast watching them go, the group finished the ninth level and returned to the real world.

"Phew, you guys won't regret this, will you?" Wu Yang Jin asked.

"Won't!"

"Clap clap clap!" Applause rang out.

At this moment, Shen Yi's eyes were filled with heartfelt admiration and praise.

"Over the years, I really didn't expect, especially Wu Yang Jin, that you and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion could become so close. Here, it's natural for Soul Beasts to get close to people, but the chances of it being like the Three-Eyed Golden Lion are very small. It's not because it's fierce, but because of its special nature. Moreover, this feeling is just like reality," Shen Yi said.

"Furthermore, I've been proctoring exams at the academy for several years. I was in the same boat, passing ten tests to get into the academy. You might think you're familiar with the Spirit Ascension Platform survival test, but this ninth test is actually the highest level of assessment. And it's also the most difficult for you."

"To be honest, I have to apologize to you all, because this assessment tests your patience and survival skills to a great extent. However, more importantly, it tests your character. Therefore, what we value most is the quality of kindness. Because no matter how powerful Soul Master is, if they don't have an upright, kind, and fair heart, they are useless."

"Furthermore, although it was an unexpected situation, it won't deduct points from Wu Yang Jin's score. However, regardless, finding the canyon is the first hurdle you must overcome. Similarly, seeing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, and recognizing their power, is the second hurdle you face. But after that, finding the cave and daring to enter is a test of courage, the third hurdle."

"However, these three trials are ones you must complete in the ninth assessment, but they don't award any points. After that, you must find the young Three-Eyed Golden Lion and defeat it—this is your fourth trial. But instead of fighting, you chose to forge a strange connection with it, gaining the Three-Eyed Golden Lion 'Wu Yang Jin trust."

"This is perhaps more valuable than other things. Of course, if you were to fight but ultimately lose and cannot defeat the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, you would have to withdraw with zero points. Moreover, although you did not fight, you became aware of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's Soul Bone, but you chose to give it all up."

"This is commendable, and in fact, the initial assessment was to start with your battles and the allocation of Soul Bone. Even if you had allocated them, you would have received six points. However, you chose to give them up, and your performance before and after was excellent."

"Therefore, as the examiner for this round, I give you all full marks. At the same time, I can also tell you that if you fail this round, even if you got a perfect score of 80 in the previous eight rounds, you will be rejected! From then on, you will not be accepted by the Shrek Academy."

"Because at this stage, also known as the Veto Gate, if one's humanity fails, everything else is meaningless."

In response, Shen Yi gave a lengthy explanation, using the opportunity to clarify the overall picture and the origin of the ninth level.

"First of all, Wu Yang Jin and Tang Wu Lin, since you both got full marks in the previous rounds and this round as well, your final scores are now seventy points, which meets the standard. I can tell you that you have basically passed this final test," Shen Yi said.

"Eh? Martial Aunt Shen, what do you mean?"

"What I mean is, because the final stage is Three-Judge Joint Trial, where elders or teachers will give you feedback before you are admitted," Shen Yi said.

"So, Xie Xie has a total of 58 points, Gu Yue has a total of 58 points, Hu Meier has a total of 61 points, and Xu Xiaoyan has a total of 61 points."

At this point, aside from Wu Yang Jin and Tang Wu Lin, who are guaranteed to pass, Hu Meier and Xu Xiaoyan are also basically guaranteed to pass.

Then, although Xie Xie scored 58 points and Gu Yue scored 59 points, the final review will not give very few points.
