Annoying

"Huo Yuhao has already transferred to the Soul Guidance Department, but he's just attending classes there. Whether he withdraws from the program is not something the Martial Soul Department can decide."

Bai Cai glanced at the door and said, "The reason is valid. At most, it's just a demerit since it hasn't been reported yet; it's impossible for them to be expelled directly."

What a pity.

Wang Dong leaned forward, Yawn as he lay on the spotless table. His shoulder-length light blue hair accidentally brushed against Bai Cai's arm.

The argument at the front door of the classroom escalated, with the Academic Affairs Office and the Soul Guidance Department joining in one after another. They managed to save Huo Yuhao, Mu Jin left in resentment.

After calming down, Zhou Yi returned to the podium and listed the important points for the entrance examination one by one. Then, Wang Yan patiently explained the scoring points for the Power Attack System and control systems.

For students who lack talent and have not yet broken through to the Soul Grandmaster, Zhou Yi and Wang Yan's temporary tutoring represents the key points of the entrance examination and must be memorized word for word.

Once students who have broken through to become Soul Grandmaster or even reached the Soul Elder have a general understanding of the rules for the entrance examination, they find classroom time incredibly boring, spending their time either chatting or sleeping.

A gentle, even spray of fragrance wafted through the air. The girl turned slightly, her innocent, sweet sleeping face as warm as the spring morning sun.

At lunchtime, as usual, the three of them sat at the same table.

Bai Cai lives a secluded life, quietly cultivating itself.

Xiao Xiao was single-minded. Her Innate Soul Power was not as good as Wang Dong's, and her cultivation efficiency was not as good as Bai Cai's. She needed to spend a lot of effort to catch up with her two friends' progress.

Wang Dong has many friends, but they are all his ex-girlfriends.

After enjoying a hearty meal, Xiao Xiao suddenly became worried.

"Captain, do I need to challenge Soul Beast with hundreds of years of cultivation?"

When she entered the academy, her Soul Power was at its peak at level 21. After a year of diligent training, her Soul Power reached its peak at level 27, approaching level 28.

A six-level increase in Soul Power in a year is equivalent to a one-level increase in Soul Power every two months. In Tang San's era, Xiao Xiao's cultivation speed was comparable to, or even surpassed, that of Innate Full Soul Power.

Over the past ten thousand years, improvements in Calm Mind techniques, research into rare and precious materials, changes in Martial Soul Theory, and abundant cultivation resources have led to a significant increase in the cultivation speed of Shrek Academy students.

Twelve-year-old Soul Elder are commonplace, appearing every few years. Twenty-year-old Soul Kings are frequently seen, merely the average level among inner court students. Twenty-year-old Soul Emperors, and even Soul Saints, have also appeared many times.

Although Xiao Xiao's progress was dazzling, she paled in comparison to Bai Cai and Wang Dong.

Soul Elder eleven, and Soul Elder are even just over twelve. In another two years, they might even be promoted to the Inner Court. She simply can't keep up with Bai Cai and Wang Dong's progress.

Twin Martial Souls does not equate to cultivation talent. The quality of Martial Soul is linked to Innate Soul Power, Innate Soul Power represents cultivation talent.

The Soul-Suppressing Cauldron's Martial Soul quality is above average. Even after mutating into the Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, it still falls short of top-tier Martial Souls.

Unless you excel in actual combat, you'll definitely be one or two years behind when you advance to the inner court.

"The Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron is not good at sustained control. Choosing a low-age Hundred-Year Soul Beast will definitely result in a lower score than choosing a high-age, Hundred-Year Soul Beast."

Sustained control requires sacrificing control intensity.

Slowing Soul Skills have a relatively long duration but low control strength. Binding Soul Skills have a relatively short duration but high control strength. Stun Soul Skills have a very short duration but extremely high control strength.

Xiao Xiao's Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron two main Soul Skills: First, Soul-Suppressing Cauldron Shock, which unleashes shockwaves that cause dizziness upon impact; Second, Soul Skill Cauldron Sweep, which increases the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron's defense and provides a counter-shock effect.

Strictly speaking, Xiao Xiao's control skills are only her first Soul Skill, "Cauldron Shock," and the Cauldron Oscillation" formed by the fusion of her first and second Soul Skills Soul Skill.

Rather than calling Xiao Xiao a control-type Soul Master, it would be more accurate to describe her as a defensive-type Soul Master with control effects.

Based on the scoring standards for control-type Soul Masters, Xiao Xiao's score would definitely not be high when facing a low-age, Hundred-Year Soul Beast.

If the Slowing Soul Skill lasts for ten or twenty breaths, and the Binding Soul Skill lasts for five or ten breaths, then the Stun Soul Skill lasts for only one or two breaths.

Unless facing high-level, Hundred-Year Soul Beasts Soul Beast, slowing Soul Skills are not very effective, binding Soul Skills become instantly ineffective, highlighting the interrupting effect of stun Soul Skills.

However, the dangers Xiao Xiao faces when choosing a high-age, Hundred-Year Soul Beast Soul Beast definitely greater than when choosing a low-age Hundred-Year Soul Beast.

"Soul Beast with five hundred years of cultivation is a bit weak."

Xiao Xiao hesitated for a moment, "How about Soul Beast with eight hundred years of cultivation?"

Eight hundred years, even two or three hundred years older than the Second Soul Ring —could I handle that?

However, the captain has broken through to the Soul Elder, and Wang Dong has also broken through to the Soul Elder. It's only natural that they would choose a thousand-year-old Soul Beast. Captain, Wang Dong, the distance between us seems to be growing further and further.

"The types of Soul Beasts are randomly selected; lion-type Soul Beasts, tiger-type Soul Beasts, and bear-type Soul Beasts with eight hundred years of cultivation are extremely dangerous."

Wang Dong put down his chopsticks and advised, "A five-hundred-year-old Soul Beast can already get a fairly good score."

Xiao Xiao pursed her lips, "But..."

"Captive Soul Beasts with eight hundred years of cultivation are mostly weaker and may not necessarily encounter lions, tigers, or bears."

The Bai Cai was stacked on a plate and taken to the kitchen for recycling. The server encouraged Xiao Xiao, saying, "Xiao Xiao, believe in yourself."

Black Tortoise Displacement: Swaps the positions of oneself and the target; one of the defensive divine skills. Even if the referee neglects to provide assistance, one can still ensure Xiao Xiao's safety.

Bai Cai made her stance clear, supporting Xiao Xiao. Wang Dong sighed, ruffling Xiao Xiao's smooth black hair, "It's just an entrance exam."

She was a bit older than Xiao Xiao, tall and slender with long legs. At this moment, she suddenly had the strange feeling of an older sister scolding her younger sister.

"Ugh, so annoying!"

Xiao Xiao covered her hair, "It's a mess!"

Afternoon, Beast Fighting Area.

The Beast Fighting Area is the largest building complex for Shrek Academy students, almost equal in area to the Martial Soul Department teaching building, dormitory building, and Shrek Plaza.

Throughout the history of the Douluo Continent, there have been quite a few Soul Hunting Forests where Soul Beasts were kept in captivity. Most of them were located near cities in remote areas, such as Notting City, Soto City, and York City.

These remote cities rose because of the construction of the Soul Hunting Forest declined because of its abandonment. Today, apart from the royal families, noble unions, and first-class Soul Master sects of the three great empires, there are very few Soul Hunting Forests that are functioning normally.

The reason for this is that the Soul Hunting Forest requires a large initial investment and considerable maintenance costs, making it almost impossible to make ends meet.

Without the supervision and management of the Spirit Hall, and due to centuries of indiscriminate hunting and killing, most of the Soul Hunting Forests have been destroyed.

After the Soul Hunting Forest was abandoned, the royal families of the three great empires built royal gardens to raise rare Soul Beasts. The noble alliance opened up the edge of the Soul Beast Forest and built the Soul Hunting Town. First-class Soul Master sects designated the habitats of rare Soul Beasts as protected areas.

What about the Shrek Academy?

They dispatched powerful individuals to capture countless Soul Beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest and Sunset Forest, keeping them in the academy, cages, and enclosures.
