The assessment was still ongoing, and the referee looked at the list in his hand and shouted loudly.
" Wang Dong, Class 1, Grade 2."
Before long, Wang Dong went up on stage to face a Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
Immediately afterwards, a pair of dazzling blue wings unfurled from his back, and Soul Ring rose from beneath his feet.
On the high platform, Yan Shaozhe's eyes lit up and he nodded slightly, "Good, one yellow and two purple, this child's talent and Martial Soul are both top-notch."
"He's destined for greatness. However, the Light Goddess Butterfly Martial Soul..."
Isn't this something a girl should have?
The thought of her living in the same dormitory as Little Yu made Yan Shaozhe burst out laughing.
Is it really possible to have someone throwing themselves at you now?
Thinking of this, Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but recall his own youthful days.
Before long, Wang Dong started fighting with the Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
Because he didn't choose a particularly powerful Soul Beast, he quickly resolved the battle in a short time.
Thus, the defeated Soul Beast, looking utterly defeated, was once again locked up in the Soul Beast area.
"Alright, Wang Dong wins. Next up, get ready to go on stage." Du Weilun's voice came from the platform.
During the upgrade assessment, different Soul Beast have different base scores, with the lowest-ranking Hundred-Year Soul Beast having only ten base scores.
Thousand-Year Soul Beast has a base score of over one hundred, plus fifty points for combat skills, for a total of one hundred and fifty points.
The second-grade advancement exam only requires a score of 30 to pass.
Quite a few people got full marks in this assessment, and Cao Yu and his group also passed the assessment smoothly.
The remaining individuals need to be assessed one by one, so one day is clearly not enough time.
These past two days have been free of classes, so aside from going shopping with Xiao Xiao or Tang Ya, I've been staying in the dorm cultivating with Wang Dong.
Before long, both of them opened their eyes. Wang Dong felt the Soul Power within his body and said happily.
"It's much better to cultivate with you. My cultivation speed has more than doubled. Cultivating at home this month has been so slow."
"Oh, right, didn't you say you had something to tell me? What is it?"
A day earlier, Cao Yu had mysteriously said that he had something unexpected to tell him.
This had puzzled him for a long time and aroused his intense curiosity, but Cao Yu was a stubborn person who wouldn't listen to reason until today.
Cao Yu stood up and said slowly, "Come with me to a place, and you'll find out soon enough."
He brought along everyone he met afterward, and they all left Shrek Academy with him.
Although no one knew what he was planning, they still followed out of curiosity.
Before long, they arrived at the entrance of a building.
Cao Yu pointed to the building and introduced, "This is a place I use specifically to research Soul Tool and other things. It was just finished in the last few days, so I brought everyone here for a tour."
Wang Dong asked with some doubt, "You brought me here just to see this?"
Cao Yu turned his head and said, "Otherwise what?"
Wang Dong could only helplessly shrug his shoulders and follow him into the building.
Tang Ya and the others didn't ask any more questions. After all, they knew about the research institutes Cao Yu had set up in Star Luo City a month ago. What they didn't expect was that he had set one up in Shrek City as well.
They didn't stand on ceremony and started skipping and hopping around inside, especially Tang Ya and Ning Tian, who would occasionally peek inside.
However, there weren't many dangerous things inside, so Cao Yu didn't stop him.
Huo Yuhao walked to the side and watched intently as an Level 8 Soul Engineer patiently assembled Soul Tool.
However, Huo Yuhao turned back and said, " Brother Yu, you continue showing them around. I think this is quite interesting; let's watch for a while."
Cao Yu nodded to him and said, "Okay, then take your time looking around. You can come up to the second floor to find us later."
"Okay, Brother Yu."
They abandoned him and continued walking forward.
There were only a dozen or so Soul Engineer in this building, and most of them were members who had been captured from the Sun Moon Empire.
However, the highest level here is only level eight. The level Level 9 Soul Engineer is still in Star Luo City, developing Fixed Soul Cannon Shell.
We're still short-staffed. It would be great if we could move the entire Mingde Hall here.
However, Cao Yu was only thinking about it; after all, even if he could sneak in, he might not be able to bring everyone out.
Upon reaching the second floor, one finds only four Soul Engineer and six Shadow Clone using Grandmaster-Level Knowledge Skill Card.
Meanwhile, several more exhibition booths have been added to the lobby on the second floor.
Inside, there were different kinds of product models, and progress bars were marked on the outside, but most of them showed an incomplete status.
Tang Ya pointed to one of them and asked curiously, " Little Yu, what's the use of this box-like thing? And it has four wheels."
Cao Yu said with a smile, "This thing is called a car. It only requires Soul Power to start and run. It's much faster than riding a horse. Everyone who has used it says it's great. Even Soul Emperor in his horse form can't catch up."
"And it also has a resounding name: Hongguang Automobile, model A186."
The group nodded, seemingly confused, as if they understood but also seemingly not.
Xiao Xiao seemed interested as well, and said as they were preparing to leave, " Brother Yu, I think these things are very interesting. Can I come and play again sometime?"
"No problem, come whenever you want. If you don't understand anything, you can ask the people in black. Besides, I'll come here whenever I have time."
Cao Yu readily agreed. Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, as they were all awestruck by the models, feeling as if a new world had been opened up for them.
Rockets soar into the sky, internet communication allows mobile phones to connect across vast distances, and airplanes can travel thousands of miles...
If these could actually be developed, it would be an incredible achievement.
So much so that when they got back to the dorm at night, Wang Dong would stay around Cao Yu, chattering away nonstop.
"What else is this phone good for besides communication?"
Cao Yu, lying in bed, said, "Besides these, of course we can also show off our affection!"
Wang Dong was even more puzzled, "How do you show affection?"
Cao Yu explained, "There's a special chat feature that connects everyone, and you can also post your daily life on social media. If you have a girlfriend, you can show off your love, and if you don't, you can feel a bit envious."
Wang Dong was suddenly stunned. "I didn't expect this thing to have such a big flaw. It even flaunts its love, and it's so far away yet it still tries to cause trouble for people. It's really despicable." As he said this, he glared fiercely at Cao Yu.
It's one thing for them to show affection in real life, but now he's thinking of other ways to harm people.
This person has a truly wicked heart!
