Douluo: I am an evil soul master, working from nine to five in the Tang Sect

Chapter 18 There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world.

"The admission requirements for new students in the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy are that they must be no older than twelve years old and have a spirit power of level fifteen. However, the requirements for the inner courtyard are extremely strict. Not only do they need to be approved by the school's top management, but they must also complete the assessment tasks specially set up by the academy."

"Only after both of these two criteria are met can one be considered a true inner courtyard student. Normally, only students who have completed six years of study in the outer courtyard and completed the assessment, and whose assessment results are particularly outstanding, will have the opportunity to be set up for the inner courtyard assessment again."

"However, if there are students with particularly strong talents and whose strength far exceeds that of ordinary geniuses, they may have the opportunity to skip the outer courtyard and go to the inner courtyard to study. However, such geniuses may only appear once every few decades."

As Luo Chen began to explain, Huo Yuhao in front of him was also a little stunned. He did not expect that Shrek Academy actually had such a rule. He could not help but sigh:
"So that's how it is. It's survival of the fittest. According to what you said, Luo Ge, the Outer Court is actually the cradle of talent cultivation set up by Shrek Academy for the three empires. Only those who enter the Inner Court can be considered as Shrek students in the true sense."

“But Luo Ge, I feel that with your talent, you should be able to apply directly for the inner courtyard assessment of Shrek Academy. You are only eleven years old like me, but you can already hunt thousand-year-old soul beasts alone. Even among the seniors in the inner courtyard, I feel that their talents are not as strong as yours, Luo Ge, right?”

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao looked at Luo Chen in front of him. Until now, he still remembered clearly that terrifying figure who was like the god of death, waving a blood-red sickle, reaping lives again and again under the moonlight.

Even he, who was assisting from behind, felt it very deeply. The chill seemed to penetrate into his bones. This was the first time that he felt the breath of death so directly and truly!
However, facing Huo Yuhao's words, Luo Chen shook his head and said:

“Yuhao, there are always people who are better than you. Maybe you think my current strength is very strong, but you should know that there is no shortage of geniuses in this continent. I know of a genius who was able to break through to the Seven-Ring Soul Saint before the age of 20 and successfully absorbed a 100,000-year soul ring!”

"Compared to that evil being, my talent, which I am so proud of, is almost insignificant, just like the weeds that can be seen everywhere on the roadside. Therefore, I have been demanding myself as strictly as possible. I don't ask to become the strongest in the world, but at least I have to have the ability to protect myself..."

"Wait a minute, Luo Ge, you have already broken through to the Seven-Ring Soul Saint before the age of 20, and even absorbed a 100,000-year soul ring... Is this really possible?"

Hearing Luo Chen's words, Huo Yuhao's eyes were filled with surprise, and the tea in his hand was almost spilled, which was enough to show how uneasy he was.

However, Luo Chen looked at him strangely at this moment, with a complicated look in his eyes.

What is there to doubt? Don’t you know what year your first spirit ring was made?
But of course he couldn't say this directly, so he started to explain:

"Of course it's possible. Although it's extremely rare to cultivate to the Seventh Ring Soul Saint level before the age of twenty, this kind of genius has appeared many times in the history of Shrek Academy that spans tens of thousands of years, not to mention the entire continent."

“As for the seven-ring absorbing a hundred thousand year spirit ring, as long as one’s own physical fitness is strong enough to be comparable to the Titled Douluo level, and the mental strength is also strong enough to resist the soul impact of a hundred thousand year spirit beast, then absorbing a hundred thousand year spirit ring is not impossible, although the possibility is pitifully small…”

As Luo Chen spoke, he also stood up and patted Huo Yuhao who was in deep thought in front of him, and said:
"It's almost time, let's go and complete the admission procedures. The Sect Master and Senior Brother have already gone to prepare for the entrance exam, so I'll take you through the process. Who knows, maybe we can be assigned to the same class?"

Since Huo Yuhao has now broken through to level 15 and reached the minimum standard for admission to the Shrek Academy's external school, he only needs a certificate of recommendation from the Tang Sect to go through the admission procedures directly, without having to use the quota for specially invited students.

Therefore, Bei Bei and Tang Ya prepared for their entrance examinations with peace of mind, leaving Huo Yuhao, who knew little about these things, to Luo Chen.

Although their actual ages are similar, Luo Chen is undoubtedly much more mature than Huo Yuhao in terms of psychology and interpersonal relationships.

"Well, let's go, Luoge!"

Huo Yuhao responded with a hint of excitement in his eyes. …

At the east gate of Shrek City is the freshman assessment area specially set up by Shrek Academy. If ordinary freshmen want to enter the outer college of Shrek Academy to study, they can only take the assessment and register in the assessment area one by one.

The number of people gathered here was much larger than that in Shrek City, approximately several thousand people, but the vast majority of them were just here to observe the Shrek Academy's freshman assessment.

Among them were many officials from the three empires who were gathering intelligence, students from junior colleges, and merchants of all sizes, all of whom gathered here. This was also the situation that occurred every year during the Shrek Academy's freshman assessment.

Luo Chen and Huo Yuhao, who had just arrived at the East Gate after taking a detour from Shrek City, successfully passed the first assessment level set up by the external courtyard assessors after showing the recommendation certificate given by Bei Bei.

It is called an assessment checkpoint, but in fact it is just to verify the background of the new applicants and find out whether they have relevant recommendation certificates. If not, they will naturally be excluded and unable to enter the new student assessment area of ​​the external college.

After all, there are many cases of forging recommendation certificates and impersonating recommenders every year, so Shrek Academy naturally keeps strict control over this.

Luo Chen and Huo Yuhao submitted the Tang Sect's recommendation certificate and successfully entered the assessment area under the interested gaze of the assessors. Then, two young students wearing the Shrek Academy's outer courtyard uniforms walked towards them one after another.

One of them was holding a transparent blue crystal-like ball in his hand, and seemed to be in charge of the assessment, while the other was holding paper and pen and was responsible for registration.

"Hello, senior."

"Well, hello, juniors, put your hands on this crystal ball. After testing your soul power and registering your information, you can go in."

Without much conversation, the young student released his martial spirit. A green spear appeared in his hand, and at the same time two yellow spirit rings rose from under his feet. He was actually a two-ring great spirit master!

Following the instructions of the young student, Huo Yuhao was the first to place his palm on the crystal ball. After a moment, a not-so-bright white light spread from the inside of the crystal ball, and at the same time, his own spirit ring also appeared...

An inconspicuous and extremely low-key "Ten-Year Soul Ring".

Seeing this, the young man just looked at Huo Yuhao in surprise, but did not say much. After speaking to the student in charge of registration beside him, he smiled and nodded to Huo Yuhao, and said:
"Congratulations, you've passed the assessment. Register your information over there, pay the tuition, and after you've been assigned a dormitory, you can move in. By the way, the dormitory is behind the teaching building."

"Yes, thank you, Senior."

As Huo Yuhao spoke, he glanced at Luo Chen beside him, and after seeing the other party nod, he walked towards the registration area not far away.

But just when he was halfway there, a cry of surprise sounded behind him, followed by the surprised shout of the young student from before:
"Eleven years old, level twenty-seven?!"
