Shrek Academy Entrance Exam

The assessment at Shrek Academy was much the same as in the original work.

It was only because Mu Han had not missed the time that he was participating in the assessment normally, rather than as a work-study student.

For the sake of fairness, team-ups were not permitted during the normal assessment.

Or rather, everyone's order was randomized during the normal assessment.

So, Mu Han simply came to the assessment alone.

He was not with Gu Yue this time.

Moreover, Gu Yue was currently giving him the cold shoulder.

She had gone to great lengths to become the disciple of the Spirit Pagoda's Vice Tower Master.

Yet, Mu Han had poached Leng Yaozhu directly.

Gu Yue's current position within the Spirit Pagoda was truly difficult to describe.

It wasn't that she was being suppressed.

But the difficulty of her future promotion had increased significantly.

Leng Yaozhu had also wanted to take Gu Yue with her.

The bond between Gu Yue and Leng Yaozhu was quite good.

But she had joined the Spirit Pagoda for its resources, not for Leng Yaozhu!

Thus, the master and disciple had effectively had a falling out.

And the culprit behind all of this was the Fatui established by Mu Han.

Xu Xiaoyan had come to register with Mu Han, but the two were randomly assigned to different sessions.

The first round was still the assessment of spiritual power.

The mural above their heads at this moment had been painted by a Title Douluo who excelled in art.

A drop of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King's blood had been added to the ink.

Consequently, the mural radiated immense pressure, descending from above to weigh heavily upon everyone.

Some people trembled and nearly fell, their faces filled with horror as they instantly turned pale.

The situation for others was even worse; they swayed and collapsed directly to the ground.

Mu Han's reaction was the most minimal of all, for he was someone who had refined the essence blood of Di Tian.

Never mind that only a single drop of Di Tian's blood had been added to the ink.

What would it matter even if the entire painting had been rendered in Di Tian's blood?

There was one other blue-haired youth whose reaction was second only to his.

After his body trembled a few times and shock flashed through his eyes, he gradually returned to normal.

He was a member of the Youth Genius Ranking, nicknamed "Imprisonment," Luo Guixing.

Elemental soul masters were already rare, and among them, the space type was the most mysterious and sophistical.

Developing in the direction of a control-type soul master, the mere thought of it felt formidable.

He specialized in the space type, and his soul skills were bound to be strong.

In the second round of the assessment, the beast-fighting arena, he activated his soul skill the moment they met.

He had actually controlled that Earth Demon Rhinoceros one step ahead of Mu Han.

Mu Han was also very good at seizing opportunities.

He had always been the one controlling, letting others provide the output.

But he was also exceptionally skilled at dealing damage himself.

As Mu Han's hand rose and fell, that Earth Demon Rhinoceros, known for its defensive prowess, was sliced in two.

The Bloodthirsty Demon Bear right arm bone paired with the Dark Golden Terrorclaw right palm bone.

Added to that was the effect of his Gold-Water Mutual Containment martial soul.

With earth generating metal, and metal generating water, came the soul bone skill: Bloodthirsty Water Blade!

Bloodthirst was the innate soul skill of the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear.

The hundred thousand year Bloodthirsty Demon Bear right arm soul bone provided only this single Bloodthirst soul skill.

A hundred thousand year soul bone bringing only one soul skill meant that the power of this skill exceeded that of an ordinary hundred thousand year soul skill.

It was even equivalent to two hundred thousand year soul skills fused into one.

Two augmentation-type hundred thousand year soul skills combined with the explosive power and perfect compatibility of the Dark Golden Terrorclaw—only this could give birth to a terrifying soul skill like the Bloodthirsty Water Blade.

The effect of the Bloodthirsty Water Blade was simple: it could break through all defenses.

It was somewhat similar to Tang Wulin's Forbidden Space-Time Dragon Emperor Slash from the original work, and also somewhat similar to the super divine weapon, the Heavenly Saint Abyss.

However, the foundation of this move actually originated from Xu Xiaoyan's Star Staff.

Back then, Mu Han and Xu Xiaoyan completed a Martial Soul Fusion, which helped Xu Xiaoyan's Martial Soul undergo a second awakening.

But Mu Han also gained some benefits.

Aside from his spiritual power mutating, his Soul Spirit also inherited some characteristics of the Star Staff Martial Soul.

For instance, an absolute-effect soul skill.

Originally, Mu Han's fourth soul skill was supposed to possess this absolute effect.

However, because Mu Han happened to complete the fusion of his right arm bone and right palm bone while breaking through to become a Soul Ancestor, this absolute effect was inherited by the Bloodthirsty Water Blade instead.

Xu Xiaoyan's absolute effect can freeze an opponent for at least one second.

Meanwhile, Mu Han's absolute effect guarantees a one-hundred-percent armor penetration.

Even if it only deals a scratch, it is guaranteed to inflict damage.

Never mind a mere thousand-year soul beast.

Even a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would suffer a major loss if it were to clash head-on with the Bloodthirsty Water Blade.

Shen Yi, who was in charge of invigilation, did not expect these little ones to be so ferocious.

That was an Earth Demon Rhinoceros!

Even with her level of strength, she would have to expend quite a bit of effort to take it down without the assistance of Battle Armor.

After all, the defense of an Earth Demon Rhinoceros is incredibly formidable.

Yet Mu Han killed it in an instant?

Although he had the control provided by Luo Guixing, in reality, it wouldn't have mattered even without that control.

After all, the Earth Demon Rhinoceros is not particularly fast.

The exam requirements did not reach the level of killing the beast.

Therefore, the other students who did not make a move also received relatively high scores.

As for Mu Han and Luo Guixing, both passed with full marks.

The two of them had also passed the first round, the spiritual power assessment, with full marks.

The third round tested courage, which involved passing through that giant guillotine.

Both of them still passed easily with full marks.

However, when it came to the fourth round, the gap between the two began to show.

The fourth round relied on specialties, which meant showcasing what one was best at.

Luo Guixing's specialty was naturally his space-attribute control.

But compared to Mu Han, he was far behind.

If one were to say Luo Guixing's control ability was "Space," then Mu Han's ability was "World"!

Mu Han still received a perfect ten, while Luo Guixing could only obtain eight points.

Perhaps he might have been qualified to receive a ten originally?

It was just a pity that he fell short compared to Mu Han.

This led to him having points deducted; speaking of which, it could be considered bad luck for Luo Guixing.

However, by the fifth round, Mu Han and Luo Guixing parted ways.

This was because the fifth round tested auxiliary professions.

Luo Guixing's auxiliary profession was Mecha Manufacturing.

It wasn't that Mu Han didn't know how, but the subject he had to be tested on was Blacksmithing.

And here, he encountered another member of the Youth Genius Ranking.

He stood over 1.9 meters tall, significantly taller than many adults.

He spoke in a muffled, resonant voice, and his physique was extremely burly.

However, his eyes were very small; when he squinted, one could barely see his pupils.

He was the Dark Bear from the Youth Genius Ranking, Yang Nianxia, whose Martial Soul was the Dark Gold Bear.

He possessed almost all the characteristics of a Dark-Gold Terrorclaw Bear, save for those terrorclaws. He was absolutely the best meat shield.

Beyond that, he was also a Level 3 Blacksmith, which was extremely rare at this age.

In truth, never mind Blacksmithing, which is the hardest to level up in the early stages.

Even for other auxiliary professions, as long as one reached Level 3, they could obtain a perfect score of ten in the fifth round.

However, Mu Han was a Level 6 Blacksmith.

He did not reveal his full strength, but simply completing a Spirit Forging was enough to shock everyone present.
