Hearing that Xia Linyuan chose the 5,000-year-level Spirit Beast without hesitation, more than a hundred people present held their breath in unison.
"Ready." Xia Linyuan said calmly.
"Then, the assessment begins." Inverted Clone made a gesture in a certain direction.
Suddenly, with the sound of machine guns, the huge iron gate in the distance slowly opened.
Before Spirit Beast could be seen, he heard his voice first, and a powerful aura came from the dark corridor that opened in the distance.
A tall, oppressive figure slowly walked out of the animal enclosure.
Winter! Winter! Winter!
Every time the tall figure took a step, everyone could clearly feel a slight tremor coming from the ground beneath their feet.
The ferocious sense of oppression was so impactful that the students watching from behind could not help but turn pale. Facing this situation for the first time, they couldn't help but feel an inexplicable pressure in their hearts.
The black shadow suddenly emerged from the deep corridor, and each step was extremely fast. It ran tens of meters almost in an instant and rushed towards Xia Linyuan.
The speed was so fast that, except for the teacher present, no one else could see the specific appearance of the five-thousand-year-old Spirit Beast.
Even Martial Soul is Huo Yuhao, which is Spirit Eye. With the naked eye, you can only vaguely see that it is a tall figure that is ten meters high and has an outline similar to a human body.
Huo Yuhao was startled, and under the cover of the second Spirit Skill--Simulation, he unfolded Spiritual Detection, quickly covering the entire Colosseum, and immediately wanted to share it with Xia Linyuan.
With the help of Spiritual Detection, a magical skill like a god's perspective, Huo Yuhao finally saw clearly the true appearance of Xia Linyuan's opponent in this upgrade assessment.
It was a tall ape with a height of ten meters, with brown-black hair all over its body, like a small hill.
Covered by thick brown-black hair, this ape's undifferentiated human face and limbs are somewhere between half-human and half-animal. The eyes the size of an adult's fist shine with a citrine-like luster, and the strong muscles on the limbs seem to have solidified.
This is...
Titan Ape!
!
Seeing that Xia Linyuan's opponent was actually Titan Ape, cold sweat broke out on Huo Yuhao's fair forehead.
Tai Tan, Tai Tan, Titan Giant Ape, Titan Snow Demon, these two extremely powerful races serve as precedents. How can Spirit Beast, which can be nominated under the name of Tai Tan, be compared with the ordinary Spirit Beast.
Titan Ape is rumored to be a type of primate Spirit Beast that was mutated from Titan Giant Ape. Although it cannot be as strong as Titan Giant Ape, which can rival the ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in ten thousand years, the strength of the five-thousand-year-level Titan Ape is no less than that of the seven-thousand-year-old ordinary Spirit Beast!
But similarly, Titan Ape, which has lost the advantage of its natural strength, has completely made up for its shortcomings in strength in terms of speed.
The moment her mental energy, which was trying to establish a shared relationship with Xia Linyuan, came into contact with the latter, it was like a huge stone being thrown into the abyss of Abyss, unable to make any waves, let alone establishing a relationship with Spiritual Sharing.
Seeing that the distance between the black shadow and Xia Linyuan was getting closer and closer, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but become anxious. He tried several times unbelievingly, but the result every time was the same as the first time, throwing rocks into the sea without any shock.
Just when the distance between them was less than 20 meters, Titan Ape suddenly jumped up and easily crossed the distance of more than ten meters. A pair of giant fists struck Xia Linyuan down below.
Hurry! Hurry!
!
Huo Yuhao became more and more anxious, but the more anxious she became, the less effective she was.
Just when Titan Ape's giant fists were about to fall on him, Xia Linyuan finally moved.
Hunter instantly appeared behind Xia Linyuan.
But immediately someone noticed that Hunter's appearance had undergone earth-shaking changes. Different from the previous appearance of wearing a robe and armour, Hunter had lost his heavy armor and was no longer holding a dart-like spear.
Hunter's humanoid outline became clearer and clearer, his face seemed to be wearing a mask, his golden eyes as bright as the sun quietly opened under the mask, and his single blood-colored wings also spread out behind him.
Yellow, yellow, purple and black, four Spirit Ring slowly rose from his feet.
On the high platform, both Du Weilun and other teachers responsible for invigilating and grading were stunned. Qian Duoduo and Yan Shaozhe even stood up, looking in disbelief at the four Spirit Ring moving up and down next to Xia Linyuan.
As the dark and thick Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring slowly rose, a huge pressure suddenly burst out from Xia Linyuan, shocking the hearts of everyone present.
In this moment, everyone felt as if the stars were collapsing, Sun Moon was dissipated, and the whole world was darkened by it.
Among the students lined up at the rear to watch the battle, almost all of them released Martial Soul and Spirit Ring in their bodies uncontrollably, and their faces turned pale.
The tall figure of Titan Ape seemed to be affected by the extremely oppressive Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, and the movement of dropping fists paused for a moment visible to the naked eye.
Xia Linyuan slowly raised his head and looked at Titan Ape above. His almost perfect lips moved slightly, outlining a coquettish and evil arc.
Seeing Xia Linyuan's smile, Titan Ape actually shivered.
The fourth Spirit Ring, as dark as ink, suddenly shone brightly, and a long sword one meter and a half long and three centimeters wide suddenly appeared in Xia Linyuan's hand.
Similarly, Hunter behind him also holds a long sword of the same proportions.
The white, slender, well-jointed fingers slowly grasped the hilt of the sword, and with a push, the cold sword body came out of the scabbard, reflecting Xia Linyuan's cold expression, but the corners of his lips outlined a hint of madness.
He swung his sword lightly, and in that moment, time seemed to slow down. Cold light flashed in the air, and roses made of blood bloomed in the air.
Fourth Spirit Skill: Hunt of Old Days!
"Zheng!"
The long sword returned to its sheath and made a cheerful buzzing sound, as if it was celebrating something.
"Boom!"
Almost at the same time, Titan Ape's huge body pressed against Xia Linyuan, falling to the ground, motionless, not sure whether he was dead or alive.
After a while, the blood gathered under it and formed several ferocious streams.
Xia Linyuan put away Spirit Ring and Martial Soul, and walked towards Class 1 without even looking at Titan Ape, who was lying on the ground not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
Although he already knew the result, Inverted Clone still stepped forward and pretended to check Titan Ape's situation, then shook his head at Du Weilun on the high platform, then plucked Titan Ape's hair and dragged the hopeless Titan Ape towards the animal pen.
Before Inverted Clone could drag Titan Ape far, a deep purple halo floated from Titan Ape's body.
Titan Ape, die!
Seeing this scene, how could anyone not understand that Titan Ape had already died at the hands of Xia Linyuan!
One move! Just one move! In less than one encounter from the start to the end, Xia Linyuan actually killed Titan Ape, who had a cultivation level of five thousand years and was comparable to the ordinary Spirit Beast who had seven thousand years!
The visual and mental impact it brought to everyone was really too strong.
This time, not to mention the students were shocked, even all the teachers were shocked!
For a moment, the whole place was silent, and everyone stared blankly at Xia Linyuan, who was tall and tall, slowly walking back to class one.
Zhou Sichen, who had a funny temper, swallowed hard and murmured, "The squad leader couldn't be rebuilt by a Spirit Beast, right? Isn't it too scary?"
Cao Jinxuan looked at him deeply and said, "I'm sure that the squad leader is not Spirit Beast, but if it's not someone else, it's not necessarily..."
After a brief shock, except for Gongchang Wei, the person in charge who took Titan Ape's body to return it to Beast Fighting Area, the other judges on the high platform all focused on Du Weilun and the two deans.
Qian Duoduo was also dumbfounded at this time. It took him a long time to say this, "Good guy, this little guy's grandma is a living monster, right?"
Not to mention Qian Duoduo, even the wily Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but feel a little dull at the moment.
Xia Linyuan's performance far exceeded their expectations.
Both he and Qian Duoduo are the top experts in the entire Douluo Continent. They can see clearly what others cannot see.
Facing Xia Linyuan, who was nominated by Tai Tan, he never showed any timidity from beginning to end, as if fighting with souls was a common occurrence.
There is also Xia Linyuan's charming smile, Titan Ape's movements... all the details seem to be engraved in their bones, lingering in their minds.
Young War God, people! Such! Their! names!
At this moment, there was only one thought in everyone's mind.
"Wei Lun." Yan Shaozhe, the first person to recover from the shock, called Du Weilun.
Du Weilun immediately walked over and shouted respectfully, "Dean Yan."
Yan Shaozhe tilted his head slightly and whispered a few words in Du Weilun's ear.
Du Weilun nodded, then walked to the high platform and added Soul Power to the voice, "Second grade class one, the Xia Linyuan assessment is over. After the evaluation by the dean Yan Shaozhe, Xia Linyuan chose the five thousand year Spirit Beast for the upgrade assessment, with a basic score of one hundred."
"In the battle, he remained calm in the face of Titan Ape's attack, understood the enemy's intentions, and demonstrated the advantages of Power Attack System Battle Soul Master in a head-on yet skillful way. The combat skill score is fifty points, and he passed with full marks."
"However, please compensate for the losses caused to the college by killing Spirit Beast within ten days. Otherwise, the college will punish you at least by sweeping the stairs of all Outer Court's teaching buildings, or at worst by depriving you of your status as a core disciple."
Hearing this, Xia Linyuan glanced sideways in the direction of Yan Shaozhe, with a sarcastic curve at the corner of his mouth.
Xia Linyuan doesn't care at all about such a small punishment. The core disciple status cannot be said to have no effect on him, but it is of no use at all.
One hundred and fifty points! A strong result with full marks!
In the memories of Wang Yan, Zhou Yi and Mu Jin, there has never been a precedent for perfect scores in the second-grade promotion assessment, but now, it actually appears in front of them!
Xia Linyuan's performance is indeed perfect. Others cannot see it, but Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo can actually see it clearly. It was just a face-to-face effort. When Xia Linyuan used the fourth Spirit Skill, he swung one hundred and eight swords in an instant. The swords hit every defensive weakness and key point of Titan Ape.
Originally, if they could be treated in time, Titan Ape would not die, but because they were all stunned by Xia Linyuan's performance, they could not remember to seek treatment at all, which ultimately led to Titan Ape's death from excessive blood loss.
He killed a five-thousand-year-old Titan Ape with one move with his powerful strength. At the age of thirteen, he was already at the Four-Ring Soul Ancestor level, and he also absorbed a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring beyond the previous level. In the history of the Shrek Academy, even the first-generation Shrek Seven Monsters, which they regarded as a treasure, did not have such a terrifying talent.
So this is why Yan Shaozhe will give full marks to Xia Linyuan.
But even though Xia Linyuan's talent is so terrifying, the reason why Yan Shaozhe still instructs Du Weilun to punish Xia Linyuan for killing Spirit Beast is. "The academy will punish Outer Court by sweeping the stairs of all the teaching buildings, and at the worst, deprive the core disciples of their status."
It's because at an age as high-spirited as Xia Linyuan's, it's easiest to become complacent, and it's also the age when geniuses are most likely to fall. In addition, Douluo Continent's people have been pursuing him over the years, so Yan Shaozhe just wanted to use this to give him a blow to stop him from being proud and complacent, but considering that the former was already famous all over the world at such a young age, if he used excessive force, it would make others dissatisfied, so he adopted a gentle policy.
Yan Shaozhe's thoughts were naturally clear to Xia Linyuan. Although the punishment was much lighter than that of Dai Huabin's killing of the thousand-year-old Spirit Beast in the original work, it still made him feel disdainful.
To put it nicely, it's called beating, to put it harshly, it's just to suppress his arrogance.
Because this is Shrek Academy, not Star Luo Empire, let alone the Abyss front line of the Endless Mountains.
As expected of the Shrek Academy, worthy of Shrek tradition.
Xia Linyuan's perfect score broke the dead silence just now.
"Ah, one, one," the students' exclamations resounded again.
Amidst the uproar among the students, Dai Huabin was the only one who remained silent.
He is very clear about his own strength, and he is sure to kill the thousand-year-old Spirit Beast. However, if this thousand-year-old Spirit Beast is replaced by a thousand-year-old Titan Ape, he is probably the one who will die.
But what about Xia Linyuan?
Not only did he skip the level of Soul Elder and absorb the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring that can only be absorbed by the Soul Ancestor level, but he also easily killed the 5,000-year-old Spirit Beast with just one move, and the one who survived this Spirit Beast was Titan Ape!
Even the 5,000-year-level Titan Ape Xia Linyuan can be killed with one move. What if he has murderous intentions towards me? Even if I use White Tiger Protective Barrier and White Tiger Vajra Transformation at the same time, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch his sword, right?
Returning to Class 1, Xia Linyuan suddenly smiled and said, "Teacher, how was my debut?"
"Wonderful! It's so wonderful!" Wang Yan gave him a thumbs up.
Even Zhou Yi next to him was smiling.
