As Huo Yuhao and the others filled out their forms, Mu Jin began explaining the rules and key points of the Freshman Assessment in detail.
"The format of the Freshman Assessment is very simple: actual combat. It will be conducted as three-person team battles. At the same time, to ensure balanced team compositions, each group may have at most one assault-type Battle Soul Master. When forming teams, students from the same dormitory will be given priority to be placed together.
"In a moment, I will make relatively reasonable team arrangements based on the characteristics and abilities of your martial souls. Of course, these are only recommendations. If anyone is dissatisfied with their assigned team, you may raise an objection with me—but only before this morning ends."
"For this Freshman Assessment, our grade has nearly three hundred teams participating," Mu Jin said, her voice rising slightly with a trace of severity. "Yet only half of them will be allowed to stay. In other words, only the top one hundred and fifty teams will be able to remain at Shrek Academy."
The atmosphere in the classroom immediately tightened.
"The matchups will be determined by drawing lots. Every team must fight at least ten battles, and the final rankings will be based on victory points. The top sixty-four teams will then enter the elimination stage to compete for the final placements.
"The academy will issue different rewards to the top four teams in the elimination rounds. The champion team's reward will be especially generous. A Soul Bone is not out of the question."
Seeing the students below stirred into high spirits by the academy's rewards, Mu Jin nodded in satisfaction.
As for rewarding them with a Soul Bone?
It could only be said that the academy had never handed out anything so precious
