Only after arriving at the training ground did Wang Dong finally come to her senses.

Why was Ye Chen still by her side?

Could it be that he was truly willing to become a control-type Soul Master for her sake?

At that thought, Wang Dong's eyes seemed to shine faintly as she looked at Ye Chen...

As for Huo Yuhao, he had naturally gone off to sell his grilled fish.

Before obtaining his second Martial Soul, Huo Yuhao's strength was nowhere near the top at Shrek Academy.

And without using his heaven-grade combat skill or letting a ghost possess him, Huo Yuhao could not even defeat Wu Feng.

Of course, Huo Yuhao was not worried about this assessment.

Even if the Martial Soul Department did not work out, the Soul Guidance Department would still be willing to accept him.

However, over these three months, Huo Yuhao had not gotten along particularly well with the other students in the class.

The reason was simple. Whenever Zhou Yi reprimanded certain students and Ye Chen stepped forward to speak up for them,

Huo Yuhao would always jump out and side with Zhou Yi.

As a result, the students of Class One all called Huo Yuhao Zhou Yi's lapdog behind his back.

And Huo Yuhao placed all the blame for being ostracized by his classmates on Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen, just you wait. Once I obtain my second Martial Soul, I'll defeat you fair and square!"

If Ye Chen heard that, he would probably be delighted.

He was just waiting for Huo Yuhao to obtain the Ice Empress so he could swoop in and steal her away.

On the training ground, after the three introduced their abilities, Xiao Xiao took the initiative to ask.

"Class monitor, what's our strategy for the match?"

Ye Chen curled his lips into a teasing smile.

"There is no strategy. We'll just fight our way through!"

"But I heard that the especially outstanding students in the other classes have formed elite teams. They're all aiming for the championship, and like you, Class Monitor, they're all three-ringed Soul Elders," Xiao Xiao said.

"Don't worry. They're far too weak to be our opponents. As long as I'm here, the championship is ours," Ye Chen said confidently.

"Fine, then. Let me see what Shrek Academy's freshmen are made of."

Outside the Sky Screen, during the Spirit Hall era, Yu Xiaogang could not hold himself back when he saw how arrogant Ye Chen was.

"What are you so arrogant about? The other teams have three-ringed Soul Elders too. Do you really think you're invincible?"

The next day,

Shrek Academy's assessment area was beside the Soul Fighting Area.

After the morning's grouping, the assessment officially began that afternoon.

During the ten round-robin matches, teams from the same class would not encounter one another and would only face students from other classes.

That meant Ye Chen and Huo Yuhao would not meet.

This disappointed Yun Ming greatly.

However, Yun Ming was not in a hurry. They were both Shrek students, so they would meet eventually.

More than nine hundred people participated in the Freshman Assessment, but only one hundred and fifty teams—four hundred and fifty people in total—could remain and become official first-year students to continue their studies.

In the first few matches, Ye Chen's team won with almost no effort.

Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong were already extremely strong, and sometimes Ye Chen did not even need to make a move.

Their opponents would be dealt with.

After several days of matches, the top sixty-four teams were quickly selected to enter the second round of eliminations.

In the first elimination match, Ye Chen's trio easily claimed victory and advanced smoothly into the top thirty-two.

On the other side, thanks to his absurdly powerful first Soul Skill and the support of two Soul Grandmasters, Huo Yuhao successfully reached the top sixty-four, only to fall in the match for a place in the top thirty-two.

However, Ye Chen had no interest in Huo Yuhao at this stage, so he did not go watch his match.

As a result, Yun Ming still failed to see Huo Yuhao's strength.

Yun Ming: "I just want to see the gap between him and me. Why is it so hard?!"

Today, in the match to advance from the top thirty-two to the top sixteen, Ye Chen's trio finally encountered a worthy opponent.

As the group entered the arena, Ye Chen naturally recognized their identities at a glance.

The leader was Ning Tian, the young sect mistress of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. And the red-haired girl beside Ning Tian was, if nothing unexpected happened, Wu Feng, right?

If Ye Chen remembered correctly, those two had been...

Just as Ye Chen looked toward Ning Tian, displeasure immediately appeared on Wu Feng's face.

"Hey, hey, what are you staring at? Have you never seen a woman before?" Wu Feng snapped.

"I've seen women before, but one as weak as you? This is my first time." Ye Chen saw that Wu Feng was even more arrogant than him. How could he tolerate that?

"Since all three of you are girls, I'll give you one chance. I won't use my Martial Soul! If you can last ten minutes, you win." Ye Chen did not take them seriously at all.

With only the boosts from his Soul Power Level and Soul Rings, he had more than enough strength to teach the people before him a lesson.

Outside the Sky Screen, Tang Hao heard those familiar words but did not react at first.

"Wait, why are you saying my line?!"

At the same time, within the Sky Screen,

"What did you say?! We don't need you to go easy on us!" Wu Feng's face flushed red with anger.

"Fine, then. But if I use my Martial Soul, you probably won't even last a minute," Ye Chen said confidently.

At this moment, seeing the two teams brimming with hostility, the proctor said, "Both sides, announce yourselves."

"Freshman Class Nine, Wu Feng, Level 25 assault-type Battle Soul Grandmaster."

"Freshman Class Nine, Nanmen Yun'er, Level 24 agility-type Battle Soul Grandmaster."

"Freshman Class Nine, Ning Tian, Level 31 support-type Tool Soul Elder."

Within the Sky Screen, when Ning Fengzhi heard Ning Tian's surname and the words "support-type," his attention was immediately drawn to her.

"Her surname is Ning? Could she be a descendant of my Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

"I wonder whether the curse of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul has been broken after ten thousand years," Ning Fengzhi said expectantly.

Ning Rongrong's Martial Soul had already evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Logically, that curse should have been broken.

On the other side, Ye Chen and the others also announced their names.

"Freshman Class One, Wang Dong, Level 24 assault-type Battle Soul Grandmaster."

"Freshman Class One, Xiao Xiao, Level 22 control-type Battle Soul Grandmaster."

"Freshman Class One, Ye Chen, Level 34 control-type Battle Soul Elder."

Every time Ye Chen declared himself a control-type Soul Master, Wang Dong's expression became somewhat unnatural.

When Wu Feng heard that Ye Chen was a control-type Soul Elder, she sneered. "A control-type Soul Master—what are you acting so arrogant for!"

She was an assault-type Soul Master! As long as she got close, she would have a chance to take Ye Chen down!

After both sides finished announcing themselves, the proctor shouted, "Match begin!"

As the proctor's voice fell,

Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong released their Martial Souls at the same time and charged toward Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er.

The two sides immediately clashed, and at that moment, Ning Tian, standing at a distance, extended her right hand and said,

"Seven treasures turn forth, glazed light."

Outside the Sky Screen, Ning Fengzhi nearly suspected he had misheard.

"Seven treasures turn forth? Why isn't it nine treasures turn forth?"

On the other side, when Yu Xiaogang saw the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, he immediately typed into the chat.

[Yu Xiaogang: With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, isn't this a guaranteed win? The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is the number one support Martial Soul!] At this moment, Yu Xiaogang, wanting to vent all the frustration he had suffered earlier, even declared arrogantly. [Yu Xiaogang: Even counting all healing-type Martial Souls and food-type Martial Souls, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is still the number one support Martial Soul!] [Ye Lingling: ?] [Ya Li: ?] [Yun Ming: Have you heard of the Wish Angel Martial Soul?] [Yu Xiaogang: Wish Angel?] [Xu Xiaoyan: Are you some kind of primitive? You don't even know about Wish Angel?] [Yu Xiaogang: Whatever Wish Angel or any other angel it is, it isn't even worthy of carrying the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul's shoes!]

The moment Yu Xiaogang said that, he thoroughly provoked the fury of countless Soul Masters from the Dragon King Era, and they immediately began viciously tearing into him in the barrage comments.
