As Long as You Enroll, There Will Be No Such Thing as Dropping Out!

Lin Feng looked at the somewhat distressed expressions on their faces and chuckled softly before speaking slowly.

"This is the academy's second checkpoint."

"Our entrance examination consists of ten checkpoints in total."

"Each checkpoint is worth ten points, for a total of one hundred points."

"To enter the Inner Court, your total score must exceed eighty-five points."

Lin Feng paused here.

"As for the passing score for the Outer Court, it is sixty points."

"Of course, that is the standard for recruiting 'monsters.'"

"For ordinary people, we have another set of standards."

"As long as you pass the willpower assessment in the second checkpoint and the temperament assessment in the ninth, you can enter Shrek Academy's Outer Court."

Bei Bei froze upon hearing Lin Feng's words.

He quickly calculated it in his mind.

If sixty points was the passing score, then an average of six points per checkpoint would be enough.

However... even so, it was definitely no easy task.

Just moments ago, Tang Ya and he had personally experienced that so-called second checkpoint.

That terrifying dragon's might had felt like a mountain pressing against their chests, making it difficult for them to breathe and nearly suffocating them.

Holding on for merely a few seconds had already been so difficult. Reaching the passing standard would be far easier said than done!

Even ordinary people had to go through this second checkpoint, and passing it would not be easy either.

Tang Ya patted her chest with lingering fear and could not help asking,

"If that had been the actual test just now... how many points would we have gotten?"

Lin Feng shook his head and answered honestly.

"That was merely to let you experience it. The assessment was ended early."

"So, none of you three have been scored for now."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's gaze dimmed somewhat, and he could not help feeling disappointed.

He felt that he had performed terribly just now. He had nearly fainted.

Lin Feng seemed to see through Huo Yuhao's thoughts and continued,

"Do not be discouraged."

"Once you have learned about all ten assessments, if you still wish to join Shrek Academy, you may stay and formally take the examination."

"As long as you can join Shrek Academy and withstand the trials to come."

"Then I can guarantee that I will make you into monsters in the eyes of ordinary people."

Then, he added another sentence.

"There is also one most important point."

"At my Shrek Academy, once you enter, there will be no such thing as dropping out."

"We will take responsibility for every student to the very end."

Huo Yuhao suddenly raised his head. Hearing Lin Feng's solemn guarantee, his eyes immediately lit up.

Once he entered, there would be no dropping out?

Those brief words were like a reassurance pill for Huo Yuhao.

The scales in his heart, which had originally been wavering, instantly tipped.

He silently made his decision.

I want to stay at this school!

As for the "Shrek Academy" Bei Bei and Tang Ya had spoken of, he no longer wanted to join it.

The reason was simple and realistic.

First, the gap in strength.

Bei Bei was a three-ring Soul Elder with the top-tier Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul. Yet what happened?

He could not even defeat two-ring Ye Xinglan. He had even been utterly crushed.

Second, and what Huo Yuhao worried about most.

That Shrek Academy had far too high a threshold. It only accepted monsters, and its elimination rate was extremely high.

He was merely trash with innate first-rank Soul Power. Even if he entered with a Tang Sect recommendation letter, whether he could remain there was still unknown.

If he were expelled, that would be true despair.

He wanted to grow stronger. He wanted to avenge his mother...

Then Dean Lin Feng's Shrek Academy was clearly more suitable for him!

Because its philosophy was—to allow ordinary people to become stronger as well!

At that moment, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's excited voice rang out in Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness.

"Yu Hao! Stay! You have to stay!"

"This school is truly extraordinary!"

"Especially that painting just now... Brother only took one look, but it felt as if my soul were about to fly away!"

"That terrifying aura... it was practically like facing that one in Star Dou Forest..."

"The Beast God, Di Tian!"

Hearing Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's words, the final trace of concern in Huo Yuhao's heart vanished completely.

Even Brother Sky Dream, a million-year soul beast, said so. What was there left to hesitate over?

Huo Yuhao nodded heavily, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

"I want to stay!"

Lin Feng did not notice Huo Yuhao's inner thoughts. As he led the three of them farther inside, he introduced the remaining assessment content.

"The third checkpoint is a strength test."

"It is simple. Attack the assessment teacher with all your strength, or strike a strength-testing Soul Tool, to test your raw power."

"The fourth checkpoint is a speed and reaction test."

"You will need to pass through a corridor filled with attacks of light and shadow. While dodging the attacks, you must also reach the endpoint within the allotted time."

"The fifth checkpoint is the Secondary Profession assessment."

"This is one of our academy's specialties. Display your talent or abilities in a secondary profession, such as blacksmithing, mecha design, mecha manufacturing, cooking, and so on..."

"The sixth checkpoint is comprehensive combat."

"You will engage in actual combat against current academy students. You will be scored according to how long you endure or whether you defeat your opponent."

"The seventh checkpoint is an endurance test."

"There is no time limit. It continues until you are completely exhausted."

"..."

"Finally, the tenth checkpoint is a joint review by three parties."

"I, along with the academy's other higher-ups, will give you a comprehensive evaluation."

Listening to Lin Feng list the assessment items one by one, Bei Bei and Tang Ya could not help drawing sharp breaths.

The two exchanged glances and saw the bitterness in each other's eyes.

It was too difficult.

This was far harder than entering their Shrek Academy!

And much more complicated!

Especially that Secondary Profession assessment.

They were just ordinary soul masters. Aside from cultivating Soul Power, what secondary professions did they know?

As for the "mecha designer" Lin Feng had mentioned...

What was that supposed to be?

They had never even heard of it!

At that moment, Bei Bei and Tang Ya deeply realized the terror and mystery of this academy.

After introducing all the assessment items, Lin Feng stopped walking, turned to face the three of them, and asked with a smile,

"That is roughly the process."

"So, does anyone intend to take the assessment and join Shrek Academy?"

Bei Bei and Tang Ya exchanged another glance, apologetic smiles appearing on their faces.

Bei Bei stepped forward and cupped his hands.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Dean."

"But... we already belong to another Shrek Academy."

"So, we will not be taking the assessment."

Although this place was powerful, they still had deep feelings for their own Shrek Academy.

Moreover... they urgently needed to return and report the information about this place.

Lin Feng nodded, indicating that he understood.

Then, his gaze fell upon Huo Yuhao, who stood at the very back.

"What about you?"

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and stepped out from behind Bei Bei.

He raised his head, unprecedented determination shining in those Spirit Eyes.

"Dean."

"I... I want to try!"

"I want to join Shrek Academy!"

Bei Bei and Tang Ya were both somewhat surprised upon hearing that, but they did not stop him.

After all, everyone had the right to choose their own path. Besides... if Huo Yuhao could truly stay here, perhaps it would be a good opportunity for him.

Lin Feng looked at Huo Yuhao, a faint smile curving his lips.

"Good."

It was enough that Huo Yuhao stayed.

As for Bei Bei and Tang Ya...

Not only did Lin Feng feel no regret, he instead felt relieved.

He had truly been worried that those two would get carried away and decide to stay as well.

If they stayed, who would return to their original Shrek Academy to spread the news?

Only by letting them return and spread what they had seen here...

Could this Shrek Academy floating in the sky properly make a name for itself.
