Three Seconds to Clear Three Trials; Meeting Yuanen Yehui for the First Time; Facing Shrek
Three geniuses
"Hmph, you'd better be careful, this concerns whether we can get extra points for entering the Inner Court," Li Qiankun said calmly.
Nangong Yao's gaze swept past the two of them and looked around the war zone.
Because news of Jiang Xiu's entry into the Shrek Academy had spread at some point, many students came to watch the match, wanting to see just who this young man was who had single-handedly wiped out their entire Shrek Academy team.
However, the meticulous Nangong Yao noticed something was amiss, as there seemed to be far too many students present.
"Li Qiankun, you're being too cautious," Tang Dong patted Li Qiankun on the shoulder. "If Jiang Xiu defeats the three of us, I'll eat my words."
Meanwhile, more and more trainees are arriving throughout the Ninth War Zone.
At this moment, Jiang Xiu was already sitting in the Sixth Assessment Hall, eating steamed buns.
"If only Na'er were here."
Looking at the pile of steamed buns in front of him, Jiang Xiu sighed inwardly.
The test for this stage is eating steamed buns; the more buns you eat, the higher your score.
If Na'er were here, he wouldn't need to lift a finger; she could easily finish all the buns by herself, and might even fight with him for them.
"Jiang, please forgive Elder Cai for his harsh words," Shen Yi said softly, sitting down next to Jiang Xiu.
"Hmm." Jiang Xiu nodded slightly. How could he possibly be angry with a future Shadow Soldier?
However, given the targeting by these Sea God Pavilion Elder, he planned to contact Elder Jin and give Shrek Academy's treasure vault a major shock.
Shrek Academy has a history of 20,000 years, and it's believed that it contains many treasures...
"What a pity." Watching Jiang Xiu eat his steamed bun, Shen Yi sighed inwardly. An opportunity to become stronger had been wasted.
As time passed, the mountain of steamed buns in front of Jiang Xiu was being quickly devoured.
Since Jiang Xiu acquired the Golden Dragon King Origin, his energy requirements have increased. Originally, he relied on the spiritual medicine left behind by his master Mu Ye before his seclusion to meet his body's needs.
He could easily eat all those buns.
Shen Yi looked at Jiang Xiu, then at his own slightly round belly, and said with a hint of tears, "I'm so envious. You can eat so much and not gain weight."
Jiang Xiu quickly passed the sixth test.
The seventh and eighth levels were extremely easy for Jiang Xiu.
With just some basic Body Tempering movements, Jiang Xiu easily achieved a perfect score.
"Jiang Xiu, you may be the first student in the Shrek Academy's history to pass the assessment with a perfect score." Shen Yi praised Jiang Xiu as he led him to the Ninth Assessment Battle Zone.
At the same time, she could understand why Yun Ming Pavilion had previously wanted to take Jiang Xiu as its disciple.
Who wouldn't be envious of such talent?
"Just lucky," Jiang Xiu said, waving his hand.
The Shrek Academy's tests were child's play for him, but he still gained a lot from them.
The remaining assessments consist of only one combat test and one test to see through the Three-Eyed Golden Lion Illusion. As for the final professional assessment, he doesn't need to worry about it at all, because his forging level is already at the Grandmaster level.
Following Shen Yi's footsteps, Jiang Xiu strolled into the Ninth Assessment Ninth Assessment Battle Zone Ninth Assessment Battle Zone, which was already filled with the Shrek Academy students.
As his gaze swept across the room, Jiang Xiu spotted many familiar faces: Ye Xinglan, Xu Lizhi... The Shrek Academy Team that had gone to the East Sea last time was all there, and even Yu Yuanheng, who was wrapped in bandages, was present.
Looking at Jiang Xiu appear on the field, Yu Yuanheng's eyes were filled with resentment. He stared fiercely at Jiang Xiu and silently said:
I will keep watching you, forever...
"Sister Xinglan, why don't we go back? There are so many people here..." Seeing Jiang Xiu, Xu Lizhi felt a sudden emptiness in his heart and advised Ye Xinglan beside him.
"No, Jiang Xiu is very strong. I want to learn from his strengths." Ye Xinglan looked at Jiang Xiu, her eyes lighting up, and said firmly without blinking.
"But he's from an outside sect," Xu Lizhi continued to persuade him.
"He is very strong."
Jiang Xiu is very indifferent to outsiders.
"He is very strong."
"..."
No matter how Xu Lizhi tried to persuade her, he couldn't dispel Ye Xinglan's determination to become stronger.
"Little Fatty, why don't you go back first?" Ye Xinglan said, waving her hand at the end.
Upon hearing this, Xu Lizhi immediately stood up, which surprised Ning Xian, who was standing to the side. She hadn't expected Xu Lizhi to actually leave.
But the next moment, Xu Lizhi's weak voice rang out, "Sister Xinglan, I'll go buy you some food so we can watch it better."
Ning Xian parted her red lips slightly and chuckled softly, thinking to herself, "Is this because he wants to feel involved when his goddess is watching someone else's match... Xu Lizhi, you rascal."
She knew Xu Lizhi's thoughts, and even the entire team could see them, but Ye Xinglan, the person involved, was a sword fanatic and didn't understand at all.
Seeing that Ye Xinglan's gaze remained fixed on Jiang Xiu, Xu Lizhi was filled with sorrow.
The thought that Xinglan would go to Jiang Xiu to train her again made Xu Lizhi feel even more pained.
If he weren't Support-Type Soul Master, would things be different...?
Jiang Xiu's gaze swept across the surrounding stands, his eyes lingering briefly on two of them.
One of them was a young man with handsome features, blond hair, and a faint golden light in his eyes. He exuded an aura of righteousness.
The other was a tall young woman with long, wine-red hair, dark purple eyes that held a unique, sinister charm, and a cool, aloof face. Despite her young age, she already possessed the beauty of a young woman, and her figure was exquisite and graceful.
However, there were no students around her, and she seemed to exude a cold and distant aura.
As Jiang Xiu looked at him, he was also curiously observing Jiang Xiu.
"Yuanen Yehui..." Jiang Xiu nodded slightly, then withdrew his gaze, silently thinking, "At this moment, he probably hasn't resolved his conflicts with his family yet, and still believes that his grandfather is the murderer who killed his mother and crippled his father."
Although the Yuanen Family was powerful, it suffered many setbacks because of Yuanen Yehui's mother.
In order to prevent Yuanen Yehui from learning the truly cruel truth, the patriarch of the Yuanen family did not tell Yuanen Yehui the truth.
"This guy must be really strong to be able to get the three strongest guys from the Outer Court to attack at the same time," Yuanen Yehui thought to herself, blinking her beautiful eyes.
Actually, she didn't want to come today, but her advisor told her that she could earn academic credits by watching the competition, so she came...
At this moment, under the gazes of those around him, Jiang Xiu slowly walked onto the arena, opposite Li Qiankun and his two companions.
"Junior, we won't bully you. Although the three of us are your testers, I'll allow you to pick one of them at random, and we'll take it one by one."
As Tang Dong watched Jiang Xiu Jiang Xiu go on stage and felt the aura emanating from him, his eyes suddenly became more serious, but his words remained as casual as ever.
Reaching the edge of the arena, Jiang Xiu calmly glanced at the time on the Soul Guidance Screen, stretched his limbs, and revealed a kind smile.
"No, to save time... you should all come at once."
Upon hearing this, Tang Dong's expression changed, and he was so angry that he laughed. He was always the one putting on airs for others, and now he was being looked down upon.
Immediately, Tang Dong took a step forward, and a chilling coldness spread from him.
"Junior Jiang, today your senior will give you your first lesson at the Shrek Academy..."
Be humble towards your seniors!
