A month later.
Lin Qian passed the Level 2 Soul Engineer test.
Even Huo Yuhao, with all his cheats in Douluo II, had taken eight months to pass Level 2.
According to school regulations, he should have advanced to the second year. Yet several days passed, and he was still attending lessons in Class Seven of the first year.
When things went against the norm, something fishy had to be going on. He soon learned why.
As always, Yi Hongchen picked up his pointer and cracked it against the lectern. The classroom instantly fell so silent that not even a crow or sparrow could be heard.
"After discussion, the academy has decided to add a final assessment this semester. This assessment won't just be a contest of Soul Tools. It will combine them with Soul Fighting, pitting you against one another in combat. I know you're wondering why the academy is doing this.
"Because the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy is a place that develops well-rounded talent. Soul Tools are certainly important, but contests between Soul Masters are indispensable too. Of course, taking every student's circumstances into account, the final assessment will take the form of team battles. The teams won't be large: three people each, with only one Power Attack System Battle Soul Master allowed per team. You may form your own teams shortly."
