The quality of the freshmen this year is indeed far superior to the previous ones. Even Du Weilun, the well-informed dean Outer Court, was pleasantly surprised.
After the applause stopped, Du Weilun announced loudly:
"Okay, now I announce the rewards for the top three Freshman Assessment teams. The top three teams will all receive unified rewards from the college. Everyone can make a request to the college when they need a Soul Ring, and the college will help them get the Soul Ring that they can afford and that is most suitable for them."
This reward is already very generous for ordinary students.
It means that the academy will use resources and connections to help them find and hunt the Soul Beast that best suits their Martial Soul, ensuring that the age and quality of the Soul Ring are the best at the current level.
Ordinary students do not have this kind of treatment. Even if the teacher takes Soul Hunting with him when going out, it is generally suitable and it is impossible to strive for excellence.
Du Weilun paused, his eyes fell on the champion trio, and his tone was meaningful:
"As for the additional rewards for the championship team, they will be distributed separately after the class division ceremony."
The championship reward distributed separately... the silver Chen Xin was chosen, and it must be the Soul Bone that was used as a gimmick.
However, he did not have high expectations for the reward of Freshman Assessment. It is estimated that the age and quality are relatively ordinary, and its appeal to him is limited.
"Okay, you can return to the team."
Du Weilun signals the top three teams to return to the queue.
As the three returned to their seats, the atmosphere in the square once again became tense and expectant.
Next, is the key that really affects the learning and development of every new student in the next few years - class placement.
Du Weilun glanced at the freshmen below who instantly fell silent and looked forward to it, and said in a deep voice:
"The quality of this freshmen class far exceeds that of previous ones, but I still hope that you can continue your efforts and God will reward your hard work. No matter how talented you are, it will be in vain if you don't work hard. Here, I wish you all a successful graduation."
He paused, his voice suddenly raised, with a solemn tone:
"In view of the emergence of some outstanding freshmen students in this freshman competition, the college has specially approved some students to become the core disciples of Outer Court. Now I will announce the list."
Shrek Plaza suddenly became audible.
The four words "Core Disciple" seemed to be filled with magic power, causing the hearts of all the students to beat faster involuntarily.
Everyone knows that this is not just a title, but also represents the tilt of college resources, better teacher guidance and a more convenient path to Inner Court.
It was about their own future. Everyone held their breath and listened attentively, for fear of missing a word.
Du Weilun opened the folder in his hand and read clearly and forcefully:
"Based on the performance of the new students in the assessment, the core disciples who passed the final review of the School of Economics are: Yin Chen, Gu Yuena, Ye Guyi, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo, Zhou Sichen, Cao Jinxuan, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, Ning Tian, Wu Feng, Xie Huanyue."
The names were read out one by one, and the faces of the students whose names were read showed expressions of surprise and pride.
The looks from around him were also full of envy.
This list basically includes everyone who performed most brilliantly in Freshman Assessment, whether it is the three Yin Chen who won the championship with their absolute strength, or Dai Huabin and who own Hell White Tiger Zhu Lu, or the twin sisters who performed well, the rare Martial Soul holders Cao Jinxuan, Ning Tian, etc. Their selection was expected by everyone, and there was not much controversy.
However, when Du Weilun closed the folder and the list was read out, some careful people discovered that one name did not appear - Huo Yuhao.
"How come there is no Yuhao?"
Wang Dong almost blurted out. He suddenly turned his head and looked at Huo Yuhao, whose face turned pale instantly. His eyes were full of shock and confusion.
Xiao Xiao also had an anxious look on her face, her little hands tightly grasping the corners of her clothes, her eyes moving back and forth between Du Weilun and Huo Yuhao. If the occasion had not been serious, she might have raised her hand to ask.
Huo Yuhao Standing where he was, he felt a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to Tianling Gai, and the hustle and bustle around him seemed to instantly go away from him.
He listened to the names of his teammates Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao being read out. His original joy for them turned into disappointment and unwillingness when he found out that he was not selected.
Why? He is obviously the captain of the team and the core of the tactics. He tried his best and paid so much for victory... Why was he excluded?
Huge grievance and confusion surged into his heart, making his lips tremble a little.
Yin Chen had a panoramic view of this scene, his eyes calmly swept over Huo Yuhao's lost face, and he shook his head slightly in his heart.
In the competition, Huo Yuhao is indeed the core of the team, and Spiritual Detection Sharing is even more amazing.
But what Shrek's top management values is the future, the potential for Soul Master's growth, rather than temporary strength.
Huo Yuhao disguised himself too much...
First Soul Ring, who seems to be only ten years old, has a weak initial impression. Even if his subsequent performance is outstanding, in the eyes of those college senior officials who are accustomed to measuring potential with rigid standards, the "upper limit" of Huo Yuhao seems to have been set.
They may recognize Huo Yuhao's wisdom and team role, but the core disciples are betting on the future of Titled Douluo and even higher.
In their view, the foundation of Huo Yuhao, especially the "white Soul Ring", hindered his future possibilities.
The spiritual type Soul Beast is indeed rare, but with the Shrek Academy's size and background, if Huo Yuhao is really believed to be a peerless genius, will he not be able to find a suitable Soul Beast to strengthen his foundation?
The problem is that the "potential" shown by Huo Yuhao has not yet convinced them to invest such huge resources and expectations.
Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger can certainly hide your trump cards, but sometimes, it may also make people miss the attention and opportunities they deserve.
Huo Yuhao is not wrong, and neither are the senior management of the college. What is wrong is the ten-year-old white Soul Ring.
After all, Million-Year Soul Ring is indeed too shocking, and Huo Yuhao currently does not have Simulation Soul Skill, pretending to be Soul Ring.
So pretending to be Ten-Year Soul Ring is a helpless move.
These thoughts only flashed through Yin Chen's mind.
He will not speak out or do anything about it. This is the consequence that Huo Yuhao needs to bear when he chooses his own path.
In this competitive world, opportunities often coexist with risks, and how to present yourself is a science in itself.
Du Weilun didn't seem to notice the subtle commotion below, or in other words, he noticed it but didn't care.
He closed the folder and said loudly:
"The above is the list of core disciples for this year. I hope that all core disciples will guard against arrogance and impetuosity and practice hard. Those who are not selected need not be discouraged. The stage of Shrek is open to all those who work hard. There are still unlimited possibilities in the future."
As the words fell, complex sounds of joy, envy, loss and unwillingness rang out in the square.
