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

Chapter 91 Freshman Assessment
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the day for the assessment of freshmen in the external college of Shrek Academy.

Three months is neither long nor short. For most of the external college students, these three months are crucial because it determines whether they can avoid being eliminated and continue to study in Shrek Academy.

Every year, Shrek Academy enrolls thousands of new students, but these students are a mixed bunch, so the academy added the "freshman assessment" competition format for selection.

Any team that can successfully pass the assessment in the competition by relying on its own strength or the overall strength of the team will be able to continue studying in Shrek Academy and become a true Shrek Academy student.

If one cannot pass the assessment requirements set by the academy, it means that one cannot pass the assessment of Shrek Academy. Failure in the freshman assessment means that one will be eliminated and will not be able to continue studying in Shrek Academy.

Although the elimination rate of this freshman assessment is not high, it can screen out the vast majority of students who are trying to fish in troubled waters or who rely on background conditions to enter Shrek Academy with poor overall qualities.

After all, the resources that Shrek Academy can allocate to the new students of the Shrek Academy's external college are limited. If there are one thousand students, then the resources that can be allocated to each person will be less. If these students with poorer qualities are screened out, then the whole will be able to have more resources for training.

Some truly talented students will be able to rely on these training resources to become stronger, improve themselves step by step, pass the numerous tests set up by Shrek Academy, and successfully graduate from Shrek Academy.

Even promoted to the inner courtyard!
However, all of these have a prerequisite, that is, successfully passing the freshman assessment set up by Shrek Academy. The freshman assessment does not only consider personal qualities. It is a duel in actual combat, and also takes into account the cooperation of teammates in the team and the degree of tacit understanding.

Therefore, the freshman assessment also has a certain risk of elimination for some students with higher comprehensive qualities. After all, no matter whether they are highly talented or less talented, the situation in actual combat will change rapidly.

If you are unable to cooperate well and deal with the strategies set by the opponent, then you will be defeated one by one by the opponent and lose the game.

However, the academy has given careful consideration to the assessment standards and rules for freshmen. The freshman assessment does not allow three strong attacking spirit masters, or three auxiliary spirit masters, to exist in one team.

The most basic ones are a strong attack soul master, an auxiliary soul master, and a quick attack soul master. As for control soul masters, they are relatively rare because of the particularity of their respective martial souls. Control soul masters cannot forcibly control the entire situation unless their own soul skills are very powerful.

Otherwise, it will easily affect your teammates. After all, the control range of the control-type soul skills still depends on the soul master himself. If the control-type soul master cannot control his own control soul skills, then it will only do more harm than good.

The impact on the entire game was very large. Perhaps there was an advantage originally, but under the influence of the control-type soul master, the advantage turned into a disadvantage, and even directly gave the opponent a chance, ruining the victory of the game.

Therefore, if there are no qualified control-type soul skills, the game will basically not be dominated by a control-type soul master, but instead two combat-type soul masters, such as the strong attack type and the agile attack type, will be on the field, so as to crush the opponent with their own extraordinary combat power.

As for the auxiliary soul masters, they are indispensable to every team. The role of auxiliary soul masters in the battle is even more important than that of offensive soul masters. If there is no good assistance, then at the beginning of the duel, they may be at a disadvantage.

The improvement of the entire team by the auxiliary soul master is not as simple as one person. If his own auxiliary soul skills are well used, he can even make the strong attack soul master and the agile attack soul master play the role of one plus one greater than two, making his team more advantageous.

Compared with the control-type soul master, the role of the auxiliary-type soul master is actually greater. If the control-type soul master cannot let his teammates eliminate the auxiliary-type soul master in the first time, then after the opponent's auxiliary-type soul level is applied, the game will be deadlocked.

However, the freshman assessment is ultimately an actual combat, and each soul master has different martial souls and soul skills, which means that there will be many changes in the competition. Perhaps it will be a rebound, or perhaps it may be one against three, all of which are unpredictable.

Among the thousands of freshmen in Shrek Academy, there will always be a few geniuses who are extremely talented and stand out from the crowd. These geniuses can often end the entire game with their own personal strength, making the end of the freshman assessment a foregone conclusion.

Therefore, a big part of the purpose of the college setting up freshman assessments is to screen out geniuses whose talents surpass those of their peers. After all, if a college wants to gain a firm foothold, it must continue to cultivate talented geniuses.

Only when these talented students grow up and become independent in the continent, or become famous throughout the world, can the reputation of the academy be spread, and even the foundation of the academy be made even deeper!

In order to help these talented students, Shrek Academy has specially established the identity of "core disciples" to distinguish between ordinary students and talented students. After all, in the outer courtyard, talented students and ordinary students study in the same class.

In order to enable the talented students to better display their talents, the academy treats them differently. For example, in terms of basic catering and cultivation, the academy will provide some nutritious ingredients, and even ingredients that can increase the speed of soul power cultivation, to help these talented students improve themselves, and all of this is free!

In other words, any student who can be granted the status of "core disciple" by Shrek Academy can be ahead of ordinary students in the training environment, and even have more advantages than ordinary students in various matters of the academy.

For example, teachers at Shrek Academy have the power to expel students at will, but this "power" only applies to ordinary students. For core disciples, most of this power can be ignored.

The word "core" means exactly what it says. Being a core disciple of Shrek Academy means that one's talent is valued by the academy, so teachers are naturally not allowed to expel students at will. If a student really makes some mistakes, the decision will be made by the Dean of Studies of the External College of Shrek Academy.

From this we can see how much higher the resources and treatment that the core disciples of Shrek Academy can obtain are compared to those of ordinary students.

However, the status of "core disciple" cannot be enjoyed forever. Shrek Academy sets up a basic assessment for external students every year. Only those who can stand out in these assessments can obtain the status of "core disciple", and the status is valid for only one year.

If a student obtains the status of a "core disciple" by virtue of his extraordinary strength in the previous year, and his strength stagnates in the next year, or lags behind others and fails to meet the expectations of the academy, then the academy will revoke his status as a "core disciple".

This status will be given to other more talented students! This is also a rule set by Shrek Academy. Only talented students who can always be ahead of other students can continue to enjoy reasonable treatment in the academy. If they do not work hard and fall behind other students, they will not be able to enjoy such treatment.

It has to be said that Shrek Academy is quite good at handling students. Those who are able to stand out from the rest are often extremely gifted geniuses. Delegating resources to these geniuses is the way to maximize benefits and spend resources wisely!

However, this year's freshman assessment is different from previous ones. Although the college had a general understanding of each student in previous freshman assessments, the final assessment results were still unable to be judged.

However, before the assessment of this year's freshmen began, the senior members of Shrek Academy, including the teachers of each first-year class in the external colleges, had already received the news.

The final result of this year's freshman assessment has been determined. This is not a so-called shady deal, but a result determined by absolute strength.

In this regard, the top management of Shrek Academy pays more attention to this freshman assessment than ever before, and both the outer courtyard students and the inner courtyard students of Shrek Academy also attach more importance to this freshman assessment.

Because in this freshman assessment, an unimaginable monster will appear!

At this moment, on the rooftop of the classroom and office building of Shrek Academy, two figures were standing there, looking side by side at the group of first-year students who were standing on the examination ground waiting for the examination to begin. Both of them had smiles on their faces that could not be concealed.

The two figures with strong auras are none other than the two people with the highest status in the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy, the Dean of Shrek Academy Yan Shaozhe, and the Director of Studies of the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy Du Weilun.

"I've finally waited for this day. These past two months have been really torturous. I've never been so excited about the freshman assessment before."

Yan Shaozhe spoke first, his eyes flickering with excitement.

Du Weilun on the side also nodded and agreed with a smile on his face:

"When that little fellow Luo Chen broke through to the fourth-ring Soul Sect not long ago, I was really shocked. It has only been two months, and that little fellow has suddenly broken through from a Great Soul Master to a Soul Sect. This terrifying cultivation speed is beyond the reach of even Yao Haoxuan."

“I don’t know how that little monster did it. He was able to have such a terrifying burst in the speed of cultivating his soul power. If Elder Mu hadn’t been teaching him, I would have suspected that the little monster was a soul beast in human form…”

As Du Weilun spoke, his eyes were also looking at the handsome figure who was separated from the crowd, sitting cross-legged in the square a few hundred meters away, chatting and laughing with a few people beside him.

In his opinion, being able to cross two major realms in succession within two months, breaking through from a two-ring great soul master to a four-ring soul master in one fell swoop, was almost impossible. However, such a thing that seemed impossible to ordinary people actually happened.

Not to mention Du Weilun, even Yan Shaozhe, who had a higher vision and broader knowledge than him, nodded silently to show his approval of his words.

Even he, who had already reached the 96th level of Super Douluo, was shocked by Luo Chen's terrifying progress.

When Luo Chen first entered the Sea God Island and started sparring with a group of inner courtyard students of Shrek Academy, something was wrong. After all, it was against common sense for a freshman to defeat a group of inner courtyard students who were at least in their early twenties!

However, when Yan Shaozhe thought about the relationship between Luo Chen and Mu Lao at that time, he didn't find it strange. After all, as Mu Lao's direct disciple, he naturally knew Mu Lao better than others.

Therefore, it was not surprising that Luo Chen could have such a terrifying improvement. After all, he had the personal guidance of Elder Mu, who had the cultivation level of an Extreme Douluo. It would have been strange if he did not make much progress.

In his opinion, Luo Chen was able to easily defeat the inner courtyard students before, which meant he was qualified to become Master Mu's disciple and also his junior brother.

However, at this moment, he felt that something was increasingly wrong. If Luo Chen could defeat the inner courtyard students with the cultivation level of five-ring Soul Kings with his cultivation level of three-ring Soul Master, he could still understand it.

At this moment, Luo Chen could even compete with those players in the inner courtyard who were tentatively selected by Shrek Academy to participate in the next Elite Soul Master Competition. This was already beyond his comprehension.

You know, although Yao Haoxuan is among them, his position is just an auxiliary soul master, and his talent is not as terrifying as other regular team members.

But at this moment, Luo Chen, who had already broken through the Four-Ring Soul Sect, was able to defeat many of the regular team members one by one by himself. This was what really shocked him.

As for these inner court team members selected by him personally, he knows their strength better than anyone else. Not to mention the younger Yao Haoxuan, those five-ring Soul Kings alone have the strength to challenge the six-ring Soul Emperors!
However, Luo Chen defeated these regular team members whose combat power exceeded that of Soul Kings easily like chopping melons and vegetables. Among them was not only Yao Haoxuan, but also Ling Luochen, Gong Yang Mo, Xixi and other inner courtyard students who were extremely powerful!

At present, except for his disciple Ma Xiaotao, who has already reached the realm of Six-Ring Soul Emperor, and Dai Yueheng, the heir of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, who also possesses the cultivation level of Six-Ring Soul Emperor, no one in the entire Shrek Academy team can be a match for Luo Chen!

Even Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, who had already reached the Soul Emperor level, suffered great losses at the hands of Luo Chen!
