God Realm.

"Sea God, you've gone too far!"

"Damn it! It's this guy again!" The Sea God punched the table in front of him, glaring angrily at Destruction outside.

"Attacking a mortal, this isn't the first time you've ignored the rules of the God Realm. From now on, I will be monitoring you for a period as an enforcer of the God Realm. I hope you'll behave yourself."

With that, Destruction left without looking back, but his divine sense remained fixed on the Sea God's palace.

"It's fine. Even if she doesn't choose to restore the Tang Sect in the end, as long as Huo Yuhao doesn't deviate from my plan, I haven't lost."

The next morning, Mu Jin entered the classroom as usual. After announcing that the assessment would officially begin in the afternoon, he told everyone to cultivate on their own.

Afternoon.

Shrek Academy's assessment area was located in the north-central part of the Martial Soul Department, adjacent to the Soul Fighting Area. Compared to the Soul Fighting Area, the assessment area was much larger. For the students of Shrek Academy's Outer Court, this was a paradise for outstanding students to showcase themselves, but also a nightmare for students with lower cultivation. Every year, a large number of students were eliminated for failing the assessment, and most of these assessments were conducted in this assessment area.

The assessment area was oval-shaped, not like the enclosed stadium of the Soul Fighting Area, but rather an open space. The periphery was a low wall, and the interior was divided into several areas by partitions. These partitions could be dismantled at any time to change the size of the areas.

After the tense grouping in the morning, the assessment officially began in the afternoon. Since it was the first day of the assessment, and to allow the new students to adapt first, each group would only have one match today before they could leave. The academy dispatched fifty teachers to conduct assessment registrations in fifty different areas.

After the broadcast announcement, Yue said goodbye to Meng and came to Area Thirty-Three alone. The teacher responsible for Area Thirty-Three was about forty years old, with an ordinary appearance and a smiling, amiable face.

He first counted the number of people and then nodded with a smile, "Very good, all six groups of students are here. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Wang Yan, and I will be responsible for your freshman assessment for the next two days."

"Hello, Teacher Wang!" the students greeted Wang Yan in unison.

Wang Yan waved his hand with a smile, telling them not to be so formal. He had always treated his students as friends.

As he spoke, he took out a folder, glanced at it, and then looked up, "First match of the first round, Class Nine freshmen: Yue Hongchen, Class Three freshmen: Ouyang Junyi, Chen Junfeng, Zhao Haochen. You can enter the arena. Each of you take a corner. You can only release your Martial Souls after I say the competition begins. Enter the arena."

As he passed by Wang Yan, Wang Yan curiously sized up Yue Hongchen. It was the first time he had seen someone participating in the assessment alone, but since the form had been sent to him, it must have been approved by the academy, and he had no right to question it.

As Yue Hongchen walked past, he quietly said, "Be careful."

Yue Hongchen was a little surprised, but he still smiled and nodded.

Upon reaching the assessment grounds, Yue Hongchen stood alone in a corner, facing his opponents for this assessment.

As Wang Yan said, "Assessment begins," the three people opposite him quickly released their Martial Souls.

Zhao Haochen, standing at the very back, shouted, "Come on, my big chicken legs!" A yellow Soul Ring rippled beneath his feet, and two beams of yellow light flashed in his hands. Instantly, two braised chicken legs appeared in his grasp and were quickly handed to the two in front of him.

Ouyang Junyi and Chen Junfeng released their Martial Souls while quickly taking the chicken legs and taking a big bite, eating them ravenously.

Yue Hongchen didn't want to waste too much time on them. Before the other two released their Martial Souls, he summoned his Martial Soul, and the second ring, a blue-white Soul Ring, lit up behind him.

The two who were charging forward paused, stopping in their tracks. At the same time, the shadow of a giant Sword of Human Rights fell between them, and the intense impact directly threw them out of the assessment area.

Everything happened too quickly. The opponents hadn't even completed their Martial Soul Avatar before they lost. Only a Food System Soul Master remained on the field.

"I surrender," Zhao Haochen quickly raised both hands in surrender. As a Food System Soul Master, what chance did he have of fighting against the opponent alone?

Wang Yan was only stunned for a moment before saying, "First match, first round, Yue Hongchen of Class Nine wins."

After registering the match result, Wang Yan glanced at Gu Changsheng again and thought to himself: This group is probably Class Nine's trump card.

Hearing Wang Yan finish, Yue Hongchen retracted his Martial Soul and left the assessment area.

When he walked up to Wang Yan, Wang Yan called out to him.

"Student Yue, I didn't expect you to be so strong. It seems my worries before the match were completely unnecessary."

Yue replied politely, "It's just the result of hard work in cultivation. Teacher was also worried about me participating alone. Thank you for your concern, Teacher."

Wang Yan nodded, "Continue to work hard in the upcoming assessments. I have high hopes for you."

"Okay, Teacher Wang."

The freshman assessment's first round soon came to an end. Today was just to let the students adapt to the assessment method. Starting tomorrow, they would have to participate in four matches a day, two in the morning and two in the afternoon. The day after tomorrow, the number of matches would increase to five, and the top 64 would be selected. This tested not only the cooperation between students but, more importantly, their sustained combat ability.

The first match of the second day's assessment, just like yesterday, Yue only used one move to make all three opponents leave the assessment area. In fact, he could have incapacitated them if he wanted to, but since they were all from the same academy, he didn't go that far.

The remaining three teams decisively surrendered when they encountered Yue. No one wanted to face this monster.

Soon, it was the third day of the freshman assessment.

Due to Yue Hongchen's record of five wins in five matches, he remained in Area Thirty-Three. After regroupping and drawing lots, Area Thirty-Three welcomed five new teams to continue the assessment.

Being transferred to Area Thirty-Three meant that these five freshman teams were definitely not the strongest students in their original areas. Although the intensity of the next five round-robin matches increased a bit, it wouldn't be too difficult for Yue.

Wang Yan looked at Yue Hongchen with a meaningful gaze before announcing, "Everyone is here. Since Yue Hongchen achieved a perfect record of five wins in the previous matches, he will be the seeded team for Area Thirty-Three. According to the match order, he will be the first to compete. Sixth match, first round, Area Thirty-Three: Class Nine's Yue Hongchen team, Class Seven's Huang Chutian team will be assessed."

Both sides entered the arena simultaneously. Yue Hongchen looked at the two identical female students opposite him, who appeared to be twins.

Both female students had long blue hair and delicate, rosy faces, looking very cute. They seemed to be slightly younger than him.

In front of the two female students was a tall and burly male student, clearly Huang Chutian. He was also the captain of their small team of three.
