Level 26, freshman assessment begins! Three hundred meter detection range?!

As he listened to the system's prompt, Dai Yu's heart bloomed with joy.

See?

This is the correct way to start.

This round, this round is a win-win.

"Thank you, Yu Ge!

My life from now on belongs to you!"

Huo Yuhao was so moved his eyes welled up with tears. He hugged the jade bottle and rushed back to the adjacent dormitory.

Dai Yu turned his head and found Wang Dong staring at him with a strange look.

"What?

You want one too?"

Dai Yu took out a Mysterious Water Pill and dangled it, a half-smile on his face.

Wang Dong snorted haughtily and turned his head away.

"Who cares!

This Lord is exceptionally talented and doesn't need this kind of thing!"

Although he said that, his eyes couldn't help but glance at the pill.

Dai Yu chuckled inwardly.

This little girl is all talk and no action.

With a flick of his wrist, the Mysterious Water Pill drew an arc and landed precisely in Wang Dong's arms.

"Take it.

Consider it payment for the past few days' accommodation.

And...

I don't want my roommate to be too weak and drag me down."

Wang Dong fumbled to catch the pill and froze.

He looked at Dai Yu's annoying face, and his heart skipped a beat.

"You..."

"Don't misunderstand."

Dai Yu had already climbed onto the bed, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes:

"Eat quickly, then go take a bath.

Don't stink up the dormitory like last time."

He sighed slightly in his heart:

'It didn't trigger?

But it's not bad. Two Mysterious Water Pills exchanged for Luck Value +100 and the reward of the Spiritual Power Cultivation Method Distraction Control (Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Secret Improved Version)!

Next, I'll start cultivating Distraction Control. This thing will be very beneficial for my path with Soul Tools.'

Wang Dong held the warm pill in his hand and looked at Dai Yu's profile, his lips couldn't help but curve upwards.

"Tch...

Smug Idiot."

He muttered softly, but his heart felt as sweet as if he had eaten honey.

This Dai Yu...

Doesn't seem so annoying after all.

Late at night.

Dai Yu took the two Mysterious Water Pills that the system had rewarded him for suppressing Xu Sanshi earlier.

He swallowed them one after another to refine them.

Although the effect decreased, it was definitely enough to push him to level 25 Soul Power.

As for that Soul Bone Fragment with spiritual attributes?

Dai Yu didn't pay much attention to it.

It was only ten thousand years old.

He could give it to someone else later, or use it to exchange for money or resources.

Early morning.

Dai Yu slowly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing past them.

After a night of cultivation, the medicinal power of the two Mysterious Water Pills had been completely refined.

His Soul Power also successfully broke through to level 26.

"Distraction Control..."

Dai Yu's mind stirred, and three different thoughts appeared in his mind simultaneously.

While sensing the circulation of Soul Power within his body, he listened to the chirping of birds outside the window.

He could also spare a trace of his attention to observe Wang Dong, who was sleeping sprawled out on the opposite bed.

This secret technique was truly marvelous.

As an auxiliary sect with ten thousand years of heritage, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's core secret technique, Distraction Control, was originally created to assist multiple people simultaneously.

And this "improved version" rewarded by the system had been optimized by combining it with the Douluo world's Soul Power system, making cultivation twice as effective with half the effort.

In just one night, Dai Yu could already achieve "one mind, three uses."

"If I can cultivate it to the extreme, using one mind for multiple purposes, controlling multiple Soul Tools simultaneously, and releasing multiple Soul Skills...

then the combat power will increase exponentially."

Dai Yu's lips curved slightly upwards.

"Dong–Dong–Dong–"

Just then, a rapid bell sound suddenly rang out in the sky above Shrek Academy, distant and sonorous.

That's...

The assembly bell for the New Student assessment!

"Mmm... what's that sound..."

Wang Dong on the opposite bed groggily opened his eyes, his pinkish-blue eyes still carrying a hint of sleepiness.

A tuft of his hair stood up messily, like a startled little cat.

"The New Student assessment has begun."

Dai Yu leaped off the bed, his movements clean and swift, and put on his school uniform in a few quick motions.

"Ah?!

So soon?!"

Wang Dong jolted awake, completely sobered up, and began to put on his clothes in a flustered manner.

But because he was too panicked, he fumbled with his belt for a long time without being able to tie it.

"Idiot."

Dai Yu walked over, reaching out to straighten her collar and skillfully tie her belt with a neat knot.

Wang Dong froze in place, feeling Dai Yu's breath so close, his cheeks flushing uncontrollably.

"Th-thank you..."

His voice was as quiet as a mosquito's hum.

"Let's go, don't keep Yu Hao waiting."

Dai Yu patted her head, turned, and pushed the door open.

Wang Dong covered the spot where he'd been patted, froze for a second, then quickly followed.

"Wait for me!

Smug Idiot!"

The New Student assessment was held at Shrek Plaza.

By the time Dai Yu and Wang Dong arrived, the plaza was already packed with people.

This year's new students were divided into eight classes, with one hundred students per class, totaling eight hundred.

However, after the "show of force" on the first day of school and three days of observation and elimination, fewer than seven hundred remained.

In the center of the plaza, ten massive arenas were erected, each a hundred meters square.

The perimeters of the arenas were carved with complex defensive Soul Tool formations, capable of withstanding the aftershocks of Soul Ancestor level combat.

And on the viewing platform directly in front of the plaza sat over a dozen figures with profound auras.

Yan Shaozhe, Dean of the Martial Soul Department; Qian Duoduo, Vice Dean of the Soul Tool Department; Du Weilun, Director of Teaching...

Even, as Dai Yu's gaze swept across a corner of the viewing platform, his pupils contracted slightly.

There sat an elderly man in plain gray clothes, looking as if he could pass away at any moment.

Dragon God Douluo, Mu En.

Although the old man's eyes were still closed, as if he were asleep, Dai Yu knew that once those cloudy eyes opened, the world would be shaken.

"Yu Ge!

This way!"

Huo Yuhao's voice came from not far away.

Dai Yu looked in the direction of the sound and saw Huo Yuhao standing at the very front of Class One's team, waving frantically at them.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao's entire demeanor seemed to have undergone a subtle change.

Although his Soul Power was still only around level twelve, his eyes were clearer and more spirited, and the fluctuations of his Spiritual Power had become much more solid.

It seemed that Mysterious Water Pill had worked well.

"How is it?

Did you break through?"

Dai Yu walked up to him and asked casually.

Huo Yuhao scratched his head and said in a low voice, a little embarrassed:

"I didn't break through, but my meridians have widened considerably, and my Spiritual Power has also increased by a segment.

Yu Ge, I can now expand the range of my Spiritual Detection to 300 Meters!"

"Not bad."

Dai Yu nodded, satisfied in his heart.

A range of 300 meters, combined with Spiritual Detection Share, was practically a cheat-like existence in team battles.

"Hmph, you're actually proud of such a small improvement?"

Wang Dong, standing beside them, arrogantly raised his chin:

"Just watch my performance later and I'll show you what real strength is!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Young Master Wang is the most powerful."

Dai Yu replied perfunctorily, but his gaze swept past the crowd and landed on a few other teams not far away.
