Freshman Assessment Begins

Zhou Yi flew into a rage at once, rushing forward to tear apart Mu Jin's little bitch face—the seductive face that had lured who knew how many men.

Mu Jin sneered. "Are you getting anxious?"

"I'll tear your mouth apart!" Zhou Yi shouted.

But before she could make a move, the other teachers stopped her, and Zhou Yi received another stern warning.

Mu Jin was now an Inner Court teacher, not someone an Outer Court teacher like Zhou Yi could offend.

Two teachers fighting in front of so many students—what kind of spectacle was that? They were practically throwing away the academy's dignity, especially Zhou Yi, who could not tell the occasion from the place.

At that moment, the assessment teacher Wang Yan stepped forward, coughed lightly, and said, "The Freshman Assessment is about to begin. The two of you should stop arguing. Whatever issues you have can be settled privately. This is the examination grounds. If you are both confident in your students, then let their performances speak for themselves."

Zhou Yi turned away and said coldly, "We'll see about that."

"Like I'm afraid of you!"

Mu Jin gave a delicate snort, folded his arms over her chest, and returned to Freshman Class Nine's group. Her gaze landed on her class monitor, Gu Chen, and she gave him a look.

Gu Chen made an OK gesture, promising to complete the mission.

Mu Jin smiled happily.

No, wait!

She could not get too close to Gu Chen, or people might think something was going on between teacher and student.

She was old enough to be Gu Chen's mother.

No, that would not do. He was her student!

Mu Jin immediately shifted her beautiful eyes away from Gu Chen, her pretty face flushing slightly.

Gu Chen, meanwhile, had no idea about Teacher Mu Jin's inner drama. He simply waited for the assessment to begin, while still remembering to turn around and tease Wang Dong.

Once all the teachers had arrived, the Freshman Assessment tournament officially began.

Acting as the referee, Wang Yan declared loudly, "There are some rules I need to explain. This Freshman Assessment is not a battlefield. No one may attack with the intent to kill. If anyone is found doing so, they will immediately be stripped of their status as a Shrek Academy student and expelled from the academy."

"Alright, the assessment tournament officially begins. First group, Freshman Class Nine versus Freshman Class Two."

As Wang Yan announced the start of the match, the first group stepped onto the examination field. Three people emerged from Freshman Class Nine's team.

It was the team led by Wu Feng, and their strength ranked among the best.

The two teams quickly clashed.

More than ten minutes later, Wu Feng clapped her hands and walked off the examination field with her chin raised, like a proud little hen.

She could not have been more confident.

Her opponents had been far too weak, completely incapable of matching her. She had won in just a few exchanges, and the intensity had not even compared to Gu Chen's special training. They were nothing but a rabble.

After leaving the field, Wu Feng walked up to Gu Chen, thrust out her ample chest, and asked proudly, "Class monitor, wasn't I amazing? Sister Tian, how did I do?"

Ning Tian replied gently, "Not bad."

"The opponents were too weak, but you did passably well," Gu Chen said, giving an impartial evaluation.

This battle showed that his special training for Wu Feng and the Class Nine students had achieved preliminary success.

At the very least, there was nothing to criticize about Wu Feng's performance.

"Next time, I'll beat them until they're completely defeated!"

Wu Feng planted her hands on her hips and gave a dainty snort, her pride soaring sky-high.

Immediately afterward, the Freshman Assessment continued, and it was Huo Yuhao's team's turn to take the stage.

The moment the match began, Huo Yuhao secretly activated Mental Detection and Mental Sharing. Together with Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, he formed flawless coordination and defeated their opponents.

The entire battle flowed like water, and they won without breaking a sweat, as though Huo Yuhao had never even moved from beginning to end.

But Gu Chen knew that Huo Yuhao had already made his move.

A few mental skills were enough to leave those geniuses utterly bewildered, with no choice but to lose.

Afterward, Huo Yuhao's team stepped down, and Wang Dong did not forget to shoot Gu Chen a provocative look.

Faced with Princess Tang's provocation, Gu Chen merely answered with a smile and did not say a word.

Another hour passed, and the Freshman Assessment tournament was in full swing.

By this point, many teams had already revealed formidable members.

For example, Dai Huabin's team, the suddenly emerged Zhou Sicheng, and Huo Yuhao's team were all standouts among geniuses.

Although Huo Yuhao had not visibly contributed, the teachers knew that Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao's victory was absolutely related to him.

Thus, Huo Yuhao was also considered one of the key contributors.

Just then, Wang Yan called out from the stage, "Freshman Class Nine's Gu Chen team versus Freshman Class Five's Huang Chutian team. Both sides, enter the field."

"Big Brother, it's finally our turn!"

Before Gu Chen could speak, Xie Huanyue nudged his big brother with an elbow.

"It's not like I'm deaf."

Gu Chen turned around and smacked his little brother on the head before walking onto the field with his hands behind his back.

Ning Tian and Xie Huanyue followed closely behind.

Soon, the two teams arrived on the stage.

Wang Yan swept his eyes over both teams, then let his gaze settle on Gu Chen.

He had heard that Gu Chen was a once-in-ten-thousand-years prodigy who had fought his way into Shrek Academy through sheer strength.

For the students' safety, Wang Yan repeatedly warned Gu Chen not to strike to kill. After all, not everyone was Xu Sanshi.

Gu Chen agreed to Wang Yan's not-unreasonable request. After all, not everyone was as irritating as Xu Sanshi.

Wang Yan nodded. Seeing that both sides were ready, he said in a deep voice, "Assessment begins!"

Almost the instant his words fell, Huang Chutian's team made the first move.

Huang Chutian shouted, "Mighty Divine Ape, possess me!"

Roar—!

In an instant, Huang Chutian's height shot up to over six feet. Muscles bulged all over his body, his face became sharp and monkey-like, his skin turned black like iron, and two yellow soul rings rose beneath his feet.

Without another word, he swung the Mighty Divine Ape's fist and smashed it toward Gu Chen.

At the same time, the Blue twins in Huang Chutian's team also released their martial souls. They likewise had two soul rings, but their martial souls were their hair.

The instant Huang Chutian charged, the sisters' hair transformed into vines and lashed out, determined to defeat Gu Chen in one blow and seize the advantage.

"Good timing! Little Xie, fall back. Ning Tian, put every boost on me."

Gu Chen shielded the two behind him and decisively raised the Silver-Pattern Blue Silver Grass in his left hand. Water elements danced across his palm.

He decisively drew upon the water elemental tide, gathering the surrounding elemental particles to strengthen his basic soul skill.

Then, Gu Chen's first soul ring lit up. He raised his hand and shouted, "Elemental Condensation, Water Dragon!"

Ning Tian immediately raised the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda and said, "Seven Treasures, Glazed Light Appears. First: Speed. Third: Strength."

Two streams of light instantly descended upon Gu Chen.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Water particles gathered into a massive Water Dragon, which immediately attacked the charging Huang Chutian.

Huang Chutian's eyes widened as he raised his arms to block.

Boom—!

A torrent erupted from the Water Dragon's jaws, sending Huang Chutian flying straight off the arena. At the crucial moment, however, the Blue sisters' hair wrapped around him and pulled him back.

Even then, his heart still pounded with lingering fear.

What terrifying control over the elements.

But before he could recover, Gu Chen charged out from where he stood, raising his right fist covered in golden scales.

Not good!

Huang Chutian's expression changed drastically. Facing that punch, he could only brace himself and charge forward, using his head to meet Gu Chen's fist.

Bang!

Huang Chutian flew away like a cannonball.

The Blue sisters immediately released their hair to entangle him, trying to pull their captain back.

But this time, the force of Huang Chutian's momentum was too great. He actually tore through the Hair Net and slammed into the wall outside the field, leaving a dent in his head as well.

Gu Chen stood where he was and looked at Huang Chutian's condition, silently observing a moment of mourning for him.

He actually used his head to take a Golden Dragon King punch. This kid really feared nothing in his youth. Good thing I held back, or I would have killed him with one punch.

Then Gu Chen looked at the Blue sisters and said, "If you have any other tricks, use them quickly!"
