Class Cadre Selection, Battle Armor or Mecha?

The original work mentioned that the selection of class monitors is by no means just a test of individual strength.

There are no weaklings among those who manage to get into Shrek Academy.

To stand out from the crowd, relying on strength alone is simply not enough.

Beyond strength, wisdom plays an even more critical role.

Yet, Mu Han's super-intelligence told him that it was time to use his super-strength to resolve everything.

Although he had teammates—having recruited Zheng Yiran in addition to Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan—in reality, he ended up sweeping through everything by his own power.

The other three were nothing more than icing on the cake.

Just then, the world twisted, and beams of light shone down upon the four of them.

Immediately following, the light warped, and their vision went black; a powerful mental shock left them momentarily blank.

When their consciousness returned, the scene before them was clear once more.

As the four of them emerged from their respective pods, nearly a hundred pairs of eyes converged upon them.

Many of those gazes were complex.

Especially those of the two four-ring Soul Ancestor.

The Undying Xu Yucheng and the Nether Wu Sidu.

Xu Yucheng, whose face was already pale, looked ghastly; this time, it could absolutely be described as a humiliation.

After all, he was a four-ring Soul Ancestor, yet he had been reduced to a speed bump.

He didn't even qualify as a speed bump, as he had been taken out by the shockwaves of the bombardment.

The Dark Demon Scythe is not a top-tier martial soul because it is so powerful that it backlashes against the soul master.

Thus, his body is fragile; even at the four-ring cultivation level, he dared not fuse with thousand-year level soul rings.

As a result, he was finished off by the aftermath of Gu Yue's bombardment.

Wu Sidu looked at Mu Han with a different expression, one full of interest.

In reality, Mu Han had already been restricted; the Bloodthirsty Hundred-Ton King that had previously bombed Shrek City had been banned by the academy.

But Mu Han's Bloodthirsty Water Blade could still be used.

Back then, Wu Sidu had already activated her self-Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the Hell White Tiger.

Yet, it was still split in two from the front by the Bloodthirsty Water Blade.

Just as the Dragon God was split in two.

Although Wu Sidu did not know the circumstances of the Dragon God being cut open by the Asura God, she had experienced it firsthand, getting a taste of that "being split in two" unique to the Dragon God.

After the Dragon God was cut open, he became the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King.

But Wu Sidu was not the Dragon God; she would have died if she were split open.

However, in the virtual world, she didn't die even when cut. She even gained some insights.

It was just that these insights were unclear, and she wanted to try a few more times.

"The four of you were a team; now you may decide who will be the class monitor and who will be the vice-monitors."

Gu Yue did not wait for others to react; she stepped back without hesitation, making her stance clear.

The elders of the Sea God Pavilion, the highest authority in Shrek Academy, had almost all served as class monitors or vice-monitors.

But Gu Yue intended to develop within the Spirit Pagoda.

The betrayal of her teacher, Leng Yaozhu, had already caused her no small amount of trouble.

If she were to serve as a class monitor or vice-monitor of Shrek Academy, it would likely cause even more trouble in the future.

A smile appeared on Shen Yi's face. "Class monitor, Mu Han; vice-monitors, Xu Xiaoyan, Zheng Yiran."

This was actually the most ideal state in her heart.

Although Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan were not weak in strength, they were ultimately lacking in fame.

When it came down to it, it was because they hadn't participated in the All-Federation Tournament.

If it were a freak like Mu Han, that would be a different story.

The All-Federation Tournament was merely a competition that Shrek Academy looked down upon.

Yet Mu Han had directly bombed Shrek.

If not for the three powerhouses of the Fatui and Mu Han's own deterrent power, he reckoned he would have become the Federation's most wanted criminal by now.

But Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan did not have his track record, nor were they on the Youth Genius Ranking.

If all five people on the Youth Genius Ranking were out of the running for this class monitor competition, it would easily lead to instability in the entire class.

Choosing Zheng Yiran as the vice monitor would have a clear deterrent effect; at the very least, voices of dissent would significantly diminish.

After all, while Zheng Yiran might not be the strongest among those five, she is absolutely the most intimidating.

Who could blame anyone when she is a Poison Soul Master?

Moreover, she is the descendant of the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo!

Dugu Bo from twenty thousand years ago is still vivid in memory; before Mu Han, this prototype of a "weapon of mass destruction" for the new era, Dugu Bo was always synonymous with "terror."

Next, the selection for the other four class committee members began.

All students with a secondary profession at level two or higher could sign up to compete.

However, none of that was necessary.

Except for Gu Yue, who became the Design Committee Member just like in the original story, the other three committee positions were all taken by Mu Han.

Mecha manufacturing and mecha repair are essentially both forms of metal processing.

Since Mu Han possesses a unique, heaven-sent talent for forging, he naturally has the same for the other two professions.

Therefore, the Forging Committee Member, Manufacturing Committee Member, and Repair Committee Member were all Mu Han!

In reality, Mu Han also knows a thing or two about mecha design.

As a repairman, one must be proficient not only in manufacturing but also in design.

In a sense, it is the combination of the two, even if it doesn't reach the extreme level that each individual pursuit demands.

Yet, one must have a profound understanding of the relationship between the two to repair damaged mechas.

However, he was ultimately not very proficient in it.

Plus, since Gu Yue gave up on the selection for vice monitor, letting her be a committee member was no big deal.

Thus, Class One's seven committee positions were filled by only four people, just like in the original story.

Monitor Mu Han, concurrently serving as Forging Committee Member, Repair Committee Member, and Manufacturing Committee Member; Vice Monitors Xu Xiaoyan and Wu Sidu; and Design Committee Member Gu Yue.

These four people formed the class committee group.

The original story mentioned that the situation in other grades was much the same.

The secondary professions of monitors and vice monitors are generally very outstanding, so such concurrent roles are not rare.

There had even been an existence who was proficient in all three professions of mecha design, manufacturing, and repair, and additionally served as vice monitor, holding four positions simultaneously.

However, Mu Han was even a step above that.

That person held three committee positions plus the vice monitor role.

Mu Han holds three committee positions plus the monitor role.

Beyond that was the grouping, which actually wasn't difficult at all.

Forgers were the fewest in number, so one forger was assigned to each group.

Other secondary professions were distributed according to their levels.

Those with higher standards in their secondary professions could join the teams with higher-level forgers.

Mu Han and Gu Yue had monopolized four committee positions, so they were originally supposed to be in the same group.

But this mecha manufacturing group was not just about building mechas.

Many of the upcoming combat activities would also require teams.

Therefore, the two vice monitors, Xu Xiaoyan and Zheng Yiran, also remained.

This semester, everyone had one task: to build a mecha of their own.

This point was the same as in the original story.

And Gu Yue, just like in the original story, proposed a different perspective: "Make Battle Armor. We don't need mechas."

The reason the first-grade project was mechas was that most people couldn't make Battle Armor.

The requirement for a one-word Battle Armor is thousand-refinement.

How many level-three forgers were there in the entire first grade?

But Mu Han is a level-six forger. He could even craft a two-word Battle Armor.
