Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 201, Level 8: Practical Assessment
Gula's words struck Yun Ming's weak point precisely: both of his most cherished possessions would be destroyed, so what choice should he make?

Even as Mount Tai collapsed before him, Yun Ming's calm demeanor wavered. Remembering Zang Xin's words about Gula's strength, he ultimately did not stop him.

A voice rang in Gula's ears from afar: "After entering the academy, go to the Golden Tree on Seagod Island to cultivate."

Gula smiled and replied, "Thank you very much."

Back in the assessment hall, Tang Wulin and the others had passed the fifth test, which tested strength, Tang Wulin's forte.

When Gula returned to the fifth level, the tungsten steel force-measuring column was still emitting blue smoke. Gula's strength was even greater than Tang Wulin's, and he unleashed a strike on the spare force-measuring column.

With a deafening roar, the force-measuring column shattered. The proctor, wiping away cold sweat, recorded: "Fifth challenge, Gula, palm force of 138,000 jin, full marks passed."

Gula was not surprised. He then arrived at the sixth level and saw Tang Wulin enjoying his meal and the examiners staring in disbelief.

The sixth level was filled with the rich aroma of fermenting wheat, and the steamers in front of Tang Wulin were piled up like a small mountain.

The boy's cheeks puffed out like a hamster's, and golden blood flowed through his skin, forming dragon-shaped patterns. As he grabbed three steamed buns, stacked them into a tower, and stuffed them into his mouth, the scoreboard in the proctor's hand cracked open.

Gula smiled slightly. Such an astonishingly gluttonous person, just watching him eat would scare many people.

The female examiner snapped out of her daze, her eyes lighting up when she saw Gula. She put down her scoreboard and explained the rules to him: "You are not allowed to use your soul power to digest food. You get full marks if you finish the steamed bun in front of you. Your teammates can share the buns."

"learn."

Gula has a large appetite, mainly because he usually has the power of the earth to provide energy and doesn't need to eat all the time. However, once he's allowed to eat freely, his appetite is no less than Tang Wulin's.

A mountain of steamed buns could stuff an adult to death, let alone the steamed buns in front of you that contain special energy.

Xie Xie stuffed himself so much that his eyes rolled back, but he still couldn't eat half of it.

Gula elegantly unbuttoned the silver buttons on his collar, revealing his sharply defined collarbone. He imitated Tang Wulin, eating steamed buns one bite at a time, his sharp teeth like blades, his stomach constantly churning, his blood circulating, digesting his food.

This test may seem to assess a student's appetite, but it actually observes their vital energy and blood, which is precisely their strength.

Xie Xie squatted in the corner, rubbing his bloated stomach, when suddenly his eyes widened—Gula's jaw opened at an angle far beyond human limits when he ate, his dark gold fangs looming in and out of his mouth. Even more terrifying was that with each steamed bun he swallowed, hexagonal red patterns would appear on the back of his neck, devouring all the violent energy in the food.

"Another one..." Xie Xie groaned, clutching his stomach. Was he destined to be a glutton?

Gula's expression remained unchanged. In his eyes, the steamed bun, which was full of energy, was not even a fraction of the energy of magma. It also required chewing and was considered inferior food.

"Burp—" Tang Wulin suddenly let out a burp that shone with golden light. The specially made steamed bun had helped him develop some of his bloodline power. He scratched his head awkwardly: "Teacher, can I take it to go?"

As he spoke, it seemed that his entire digestive system was making a roaring sound, as if a river was surging, because he was burping and releasing gas.

The two proctors exchanged a glance and simultaneously wrote down a perfect score in the scorebook. The female teacher's eyes widened, and she asked:
"We can pack it up, but can you still eat it?"

Tang Wulin scratched his head sheepishly, smiled, and nodded.

The examiner stared blankly as Tang Wulin packed up another large bag of steamed buns.

"monster."

……

"Seventh stage: Assessing your secondary occupation."

"A thousand-times-forged, top-grade, perfect score."

"Level 4 Designer, full marks."

"Level 2 Manufacturing Engineer, 7 points."

……

"Eighth challenge, Mixed Martial Arts." Ya Li returned to the assessment hall at some point. "The students in front of you are from the previous Shrek Academy. You may challenge any student at will, and your performance will be scored."

On the brass-colored metal platform stood ten young men and women dressed in Shrek's dark green school uniforms, each with a different expression.

Tang Wulin carefully observed the ten people and lowered his voice, "This test is not only a test of combat strength, but also a test of our eyesight. Choosing a relatively weak opponent will allow us to perform better."

Xie Xie was eager to try, "I think that tomboy is pretty good. He looks skinny and weak, so he must not be very strong."

Tang Wulin followed Xie Xie's gaze and saw a thin, short-haired boy. However, he narrowed his eyes and carefully examined him. "Is that a girl?"

Xie Xie couldn't stand it anymore and jumped onto the stage, shouting, "I challenge you!"

He pointed at the thin girl and received an impatient look in return.

The other trainees gloated, "He's doomed! He got chosen as the class monitor right from the start!"

Xie Xie had no idea that he was about to suffer another misfortune.

"Make your move." The girl said expressionlessly, without any intention of introducing herself.

"Please advise."

Facing a student from a higher grade, Xie Xie didn't take it lightly and gave her a flattering smile, but the girl still had a cold face. After all, she was just there to complete a mission, and who knew she would be chosen.

Before the Shadow Dragon Dagger was even drawn, the Ghostly Shadow Steps struck first, but in the girl's eyes, his movements were too slow.

Her slender figure suddenly swelled up, transforming into a ferocious giant ape, one of her fists larger than Xie Xie's head.

His martial spirit is the Titan Giant Ape. A top-tier beast martial spirit, in no way weaker than the True Dragon martial spirit.

?

Xie Xie seemed to have a question mark above his head. He barely dodged the first attack. The girl changed her posture and slammed her arm into Xie Xie's side chest. The powerful force immediately knocked him off the stage.

"The difference is too great just because he possessed a martial spirit without even using any soul skills."

Tang Wulin's expression was serious. If all ten people were this strong, he felt he wouldn't be able to get a high score.

He then said with a relaxed expression, "Fortunately, we got all the points we were supposed to get, so at least everyone can enroll smoothly."

"Thank you, Xie. One point."

Upon hearing his score, Xie Xie lay on the ground, unwilling to get up. It was too embarrassing; he had been instantly defeated. He estimated that if he hadn't dodged the attack, he wouldn't have even scored a single point.

"Who's next?" Tang Wulin planned to go himself, but he could help eliminate one person.

Xu Xiaoyan quickly shook her head: "I'll go on stage last. It's getting dark outside, which will be a good time for me to perform."

"Yes, I'll try to stall for time."

Tang Wulin nodded and then proposed a plan to stall for time.

This was the right strategy, and Gura and Kozukiha agreed.

As Tang Wulin stepped onto the stage, Gula watched with great interest as he selected a four-ring Soul Master with a Dragon Martial Soul, suppressing the opponent with the aura of the Golden Dragon King so that the opponent could not raise his head.

"It's practically cheating with its bloodline."

Gula carefully selected his opponents, but among the ten, the strongest was Yuanen Yehui, who possessed the Titan Giant Ape Martial Soul, yet he still found them uninteresting and uninteresting.

Let's fight ten then.
