Joining the Shrek Seven Monsters
When Mu En asked, "Would you like to become Shrek Seven Monsters?" Xu Xingyu was stunned.
The Shrek Seven Monsters is one of the most important titles at the Shrek Academy, and only the most outstanding students at the Shrek Academy can receive this title.
Xu Xingyu responded, "Isn't that a bit inappropriate? I've only just joined the Inner Court, and it would be hard to convince everyone if I were to become Shrek Seven Monsters right now?"
Although Xu Xingyu didn't care about the title at all, she felt that becoming one of the Shrek Seven Monsters for no reason felt like she had gotten in through connections.
Upon hearing this, Mu En chuckled and said, "Kid, you should know that the senior you defeated in the Inner Court exam was one of the Shrek Seven Monsters of our time, and the second strongest of them all."
"Considering the Inner Court students you rescued earlier, if these two achievements aren't enough to promote you to Shrek Seven Monsters, then our standards for the Shrek Seven Monsters are truly too high."
Thinking about it, it makes sense. For Shrek Academy, the title of Shrek Seven Monsters is reserved for the strongest students. Apart from one or two positions that must be reserved for support students, the rest are the students with the strongest combat power.
Generally speaking, the Shrek Seven Monsters had predetermined members, namely the reserve team that participated in the last Soul Master Tournament. However, for the sake of fairness, every student under the age of twenty had to challenge one of the Shrek Seven Monsters.
If he wins that battle, he can take the place of the Shrek Seven Monsters, but this is actually a very rare occurrence.
Because those invited to join the reserve team are usually geniuses among geniuses, and apart from those with support abilities, their combat strength is not bad at all.
Therefore, very few people can replace the pre-selected Shrek Seven Monsters.
However, Xu Xingyu defeated Dai Yueheng, one of the Shrek Seven Monsters, when she entered the Inner Court, and this was without Dai Yueheng holding back at all.
Or rather, the one who loosened the rules wasn't Dai Yueheng, but Xu Xingyu.
After all, that battle was just Xu Xingyu testing the effectiveness of her fourth Soul Skill.
If he really wanted to end the battle quickly, he could have simply unleashed the Dragon God and sent his opponent flying with a single punch.
With such strength, he is fully qualified to be a member of the Shrek Seven Monsters.
Xu Xingyu initially wanted to decline, but considering that Mu En had already put it that way, it would be pretentious for him to refuse again. So he finally accepted Mu En's offer and became one of the Shrek Seven Monsters on the spot.
They were instructed that if anyone raised any questions, they should resolve the matter directly in the Soul Fighting Arena.
At the same time, Mu En also told Xu Xingyu some surprising news: Jiang Nannan had also become one of the Shrek Seven Monsters during this month.
It turned out that ever since that assessment, Jiang Nannan had started to feel guilty for not being able to help Xu Xingyu.
Therefore, she was very dissatisfied with her own strength and began to devote a lot of time to cultivation, hoping that she could help Xu Xingyu in the future.
Just a few days ago, she participated in the Shrek Seven Monsters ' regular selection ceremony, mainly to hone her combat skills.
As a result, she challenged a female team member Xi Xi, whose Martial Soul was the Lightning Leopard, an Agility Attack System Martial Soul with extremely high speed and combat power.
However, Jiang Nannan not only defeated her opponent in that match where everyone was pessimistic, but also repelled the remaining challengers.
This led to Jiang Nannan becoming one of the Shrek Seven Monsters, replacing Xi Xi, which caught her somewhat off guard.
After all, in her opinion, the senior students in the Inner Court should be very strong and should not be defeated by her, who had just reached the Soul King realm.
Could it be that the Shrek Devils aren't actually that powerful? This absurd thought began to take root in her mind.
Actually, it wasn't that Jiang Nannan overestimated the fighting power of the Shrek Academy students, but rather that she underestimated her own fighting power.
You should know that since she Spirit Contract Pagoda, she has been handling some documents every day and also receiving cultivation guidance from the Spirit Contract Pagoda.
As Xu Xingyu's secretary, Jiang Nannan held a high position, and few people dared to offend her.
Therefore, when teaching her, they all put their heart and soul into it, unlike Shrek who only gave his students a few pointers and then left them to their own devices.
As a typical well-behaved student, Jiang Nannan also devoted herself wholeheartedly to learning this knowledge and combat skills.
The only thing she lacked was real-world combat experience with outsiders, since aside from some necessary exams, most of her practical experience was done in the Spirit Contract Pagoda.
In simple terms, the practical training at the Spirit Contract Pagoda is a survival test in the Soul Spirit Realm, involving daily battles with Soul Beast of a fixed cultivation level and other devilish training content.
Therefore, through all sorts of grueling training, Jiang Nannan's combat power had long surpassed her own level.
Of the Shrek Seven Monsters, only Ling Luochen, Dai Yueheng, and Ma Xiaotao were able to defeat Jiang Nannan.
Hearing about Jiang Nannan's experience, Xu Xingyu couldn't help but feel happy for her. Jiang Nannan had always been somewhat unassuming, always moving forward behind her.
This always gives outsiders the impression of being a pretty but empty shell; although on the surface they appear to be powerful, no one knows their true abilities.
However, now that this has happened, no one should underestimate Jiang Nannan's strength anymore, and Jiang Nannan, as one of the Shrek Seven Monsters, can obtain a large amount of cultivation resources and receive key training from the Shrek higher-ups.
Incidentally, Xu Xingyu did not directly replace Dai Yueheng. Rather, the academy gave Dai Yueheng the opportunity to retain his position among the Shrek Seven Monsters by having him engage in a series of battles with the other Shrek Seven Monsters.
Then you have to defeat at least three Shrek Seven Monsters, and the one with the worst performance among those three defeated Shrek Seven Monsters will be eliminated.
The Shrek Seven Monsters who were ultimately eliminated were senior students named Yao Haoxuan.
Xu Xingyu knew very little about this senior, only that his Martial Soul had a function similar to devouring, capable of swallowing enemies and attacks.
In the original work, this senior's Martial Soul was not even introduced. He was directly attacked by the enemy's Corpse Explosion during a tragic hunt for Evil Soul Master, and in the end, even his body could not be found.
It was precisely because of this incident that the reserve team in the original story could only shine in the Soul Master Tournament while other less injured senior students from the Inner Court were recovering.
However, now that Xu Xingyu has replaced Yao Haoxuan as one of the new Shrek Seven Monsters, he needs to start thinking about how to deal with that disaster.
I don't mean I have to save everyone, but at least I need to be able to save the people who are important to me.
