On the rostrum facing the arena, Martial Soul Department Dean Yan Shaozhe was sitting in the center, with several Outer Academy senior officials sitting next to him.
Yan Shaozhe was still dressed in white, with a thin face and deep eyes. His eyes swept across the crowd entering the venue, stopped for a moment on Mu Chen, and then moved away calmly.
"Is that Dean Yan Shaozhe?" Huo Yuhao asked in a low voice.
"Yeah." Mu Chen responded.
Huo Yuhao didn't speak, but his fists clenched unconsciously.
After Freshman Assessment ended, his name was not on the list of core disciples. He clearly remembered Yan Shaozhe's words at that time. "Martial Soul's upper limit is not high."
Today he wants everyone to see whether Huo Yuhao only has "this upper limit".
The students sat down in the designated viewing area in order of class. As soon as Mu Chen sat down, he felt an undisguised gaze coming from the side and behind.
He didn't look back, just turned his gaze slightly.
Dai Huabin is sitting in the square formation of Class 3, with his arms folded and a half-smiling expression hanging on the corner of his mouth.
Next to him sat Zhu Lu, still wearing a neat black outfit, staring coldly at Mu Chen, and next to him was Cui Yajie.
Seeing that Mu Chen didn't look back, Dai Huabin snorted and raised his voice a little, "Zhu Lu, let me tell you, the Beast Fighting assessment is not a competition in the ring. Some people can rely on the cooperation of their teammates in the ring, but Beast Fighting Arena has to fight alone. When fighting alone, all the weight and weight are exposed."
Zhu Lu said lightly "Yeah".
Dai Huabin continued, "But it's okay, just to see if some people are really capable. Don't choose Hundred-Year Soul Beast and barely pass, that would be too embarrassing."
This was not said quietly, and many students around him heard it and looked sideways. Some looked like they were watching the show, while others frowned slightly, but no one answered.
Dai Huabin is the legitimate son of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. Level 35 Power Attack System Soul Elder is indeed the top among this batch of Second Year students.
As for the feud between him and Mu Chen, no one in the entire grade knew about it. Freshman Assessment was crushed by Mu Chen in the first game, Martial Soul Fusion Skill Hell White Tiger was broken up, and finally he knelt down and kowtowed in public to apologize. Dai Huabin remembered this grudge for the entire holiday.
Wang Dong turned his head and gave Dai Huabin a cold look. "Keep your mouth clean."
"Did I say anything?" Dai Huabin spread his hands, looking innocent, "I was just analyzing the characteristics of Beast Fighting's assessment, and I didn't name them. Why, are you guilty?"
Wang Dong was about to reply when Mu Chen raised a hand and held down his arm.
"Don't worry, I'll let him look good later."
Wang Dong took a deep breath and swallowed the words that came to his lips.
Mu Chen then turned his head and met Dai Huabin's eyes calmly.
"Dai Huabin."
His voice was not loud, but the entire viewing area was quiet for a moment.
"Freshman Assessment, if you want to continue settling the accounts, I will accompany you." Mu Chen's tone was like stating an established fact, without anger, provocation, or even superfluous emotions. "Today's Beast Fighting assessment is based on the total score. If you want to bet, we will bet."
Dai Huabin's eyes narrowed. "What are you betting on?"
"Old rules." Mu Chen said, "The loser should kneel down and kowtow three times."
The whole place was in an uproar.
Everyone knows the outcome of Freshman Assessment's bet. Dai Huabin knelt on the ring and apologized to Huo Yuhao in front of the entire grade.
That was the biggest shame in Dai Huabin's life. Now Mu Chen has placed the same bet again, which is clearly to force Dai Huabin to death.
Dai Huabin's face darkened visibly. He stared at Mu Chen, as if there were flames burning in his pupils.
"Okay." He said the word almost through gritted teeth, "Mu Chen, remember what you said today."
"Why should I listen to you?" Mu Chen withdrew his gaze and turned towards the arena again.
Dai Huabin's hands were clenched until the joints turned white, but he finally held back.
He took two deep breaths, lowered his voice and said to Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie: "No matter what age you choose today, you must beat them. The total score of the three of us must be higher than them. Especially that Huo Yuhao, he is a piece of rubbish. Even if he breaks through Soul Grandmaster, he will not be much better. We must widen the gap from him."
Zhu Lu nodded, his eyes sharp.
Cui Yajie hesitated for a moment and whispered, "That Huo Yuhao... I just observed it, and the Soul Power fluctuations on his body seem to be different from before the holiday."
"So what if it's different? How strong can he be in a month?" Dai Huabin snorted coldly, "Even if he gets lucky and gets promoted to level one, he is still only level twenty-one. How high can a twenty-level waste Soul Beast choose? Six hundred years is the highest. Zhu Lu and I each choose an eight-hundred-year-old, and you choose a seven-hundred-year-old. The total score can completely crush them."
Cui Yajie said no more, but there was a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.
On the rostrum, Yan Shaozhe stood up. The audience immediately fell silent.
"Second Year entrance examination begins now." His voice was mellow and majestic, and it produced a special resonance under the blessing of the circular venue. Everyone could hear it clearly, "The assessment format is Beast Fighting. There are three people in each group, and each person must complete at least The age of Beast Fighting. Soul Beast is chosen by the students, starting from five hundred years. The scoring is based on three indicators: Soul Beast age, kill time, and combat performance. The full score is 150 points, and the passing score is 90 points."
He paused and glanced across the audience. "Soul Beast is released from the opposite iron cage. Once released, if there is danger, the Protective Array on the edge of the ring will be automatically activated. However, activation means that the assessment is terminated and the score will be calculated as zero points. Therefore, act according to your ability."
Yan Shaozhe said these four words "act within your ability" with particular emphasis.
"Group 1."
Everyone's eyes were focused on the iron cage on the right side of the ring.
It was a huge cage made of fine iron, about five meters high and three meters wide, with seals Soul Guidance Inscription carved all over the walls.
The front of the cage is a heavy iron gate. Behind the door it is pitch black and nothing can be seen. Only a faint fishy smell wafts out from the darkness, making people instinctively feel uneasy.
Behind the iron cage is connected the academy's underground Soul Beast cage. Hundreds of Soul Beast are imprisoned there, ranging from a hundred to a thousand years, and each one is specially captured by the college for assessment.
These Soul Beast are kept in underground cages and fed with special feed to maintain their wild nature without becoming too violent.
The first group to appear were three students from Class 1. The three looked at each other, and the boy in the lead took a deep breath and stepped onto the ring.
"I choose six hundred years Soul Beast."
Soul Guidance Array below the ring lit up with a ray of light, and the gate of the iron cage suddenly opened.
