Douluo Continent: The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao is Addicted

Chapter 7: Enrollment, Shrek's Teaching Methods

Yesterday, Jiang Nannan showed Ye Chen around the academy, so he easily found the classroom where Class 9 was located and went straight in.

There were already quite a few students in the classroom. Since the semester had been going on for a while, some of the students had gotten to know each other quite well and formed small groups. They had a good relationship and were chatting idly before class started.

However, someone still managed to spot Ye Chen.

"Excuse me, this is Class 9. You seem to have come to the wrong class."

The speaker was a tall girl with short blonde hair. Her gaze towards Ye Chen flickered with a strange light, and she was quite polite.

After all, Ye Chen already had a somewhat pretty boy look, and with his 999 charm, his attractiveness to the opposite sex was almost maxed out, increasing his favorability by at least 30% upon first meeting.

"Hello, I'm Ye Chen, a transfer student in Class 9. Do you have any seats available?" Ye Chen smiled slightly at the blonde girl.

He looked around and saw that there was only one blonde girl in the entire Class 9. Ye Chen remembered that Ning Tian was blonde, so it was very likely that it was this girl.

"Oh, a transfer student?"

Ning Tian was clearly somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Shrek Academy to have transfer students. Did Shrek Academy have such a rule?
Although she was puzzled, she did not believe the other party would lie.

After all, there's no reason for her to lie, and the other person is so good-looking; you can tell at a glance that he's an honest person. How could he possibly lie to her?

Thinking of this, Ning Tian suddenly became more enthusiastic and said with a smile, "Hello, my name is Ning Tian. Please sit next to me. There's no one here right now."

There were two seats next to her; Wu Feng was on the left, and the right seat was empty.

The classroom is large, accommodating over a hundred students, with plenty of empty seats.

Wow, look at this handsome guy!

At this moment, many people in the classroom saw Ye Chen, which immediately caused a commotion.

"Damn, who is this pretty boy?"

"Damn, this kid is so handsome."

"Damn, this kid started flirting with Ning Tian as soon as he arrived, that's too much!"

The crowd buzzed with discussion; the women were overjoyed, while the men were envious.

Ye Chen's appearance and temperament were simply too amazing; one couldn't help but want to comment upon seeing him.

"Hey, who are you?"

Just then, a surprised exclamation rang out.

Ye Chen turned his head and saw that it was actually a red-haired girl with a cold face.

Ye Chen didn't even need to look to know that this guy was Wu Feng, and that he liked Ning Tian.

However, in the original story, Ning Tian chose to become a man...

Ning Tian's father, knowing that his beloved little darling had become his precious darling, didn't know whether he would be happy or sad...

Moreover, this also shows that Wu Feng doesn't like women; she only likes Ning Tian.

"Wu Feng, this is Ye Chen, the new transfer student," Ning Tian introduced with a smile.

"Transfer students? Shrek Academy has transfer students?" Wu Feng was equally bewildered.

However, the way he looked at Ye Chen also carried a strange glint in his eyes.

One reason she liked Ning Tian was that she had lived with him since childhood, which led her to develop feelings for him.

On the other hand, it's because Ning Tian is too outstanding, which makes her standards extremely high, and she looks down on ordinary boys.

But when she saw Ye Chen at that moment, her heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason...

Upon hearing this, the other students around also started discussing it, and all of them looked at Ye Chen with curiosity in their eyes.

Ye Chen ignored the others and sat down in the seat next to Ning Tian.

This seat is just next to Ning Tian, ​​not right next to him; there's a narrow aisle between them, leaving one person between them.

Not long after Ye Chen sat down, the class bell rang.

Everyone sat obediently in their seats, very well-behaved and following the rules.

Immediately afterwards, a woman wearing a purple fitted long dress slowly walked in.

The woman looked to be around thirty years old, wearing glasses, and had a rather dignified appearance. She was none other than Mu Jin, the homeroom teacher of Class 9.

As soon as Mu Jin entered, she saw Ye Chen sitting in the front row, and her eyes lit up instantly.

"Ye Chen, come up here for a moment." Mu Jin waved to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen got up and went to Mu Jin's side.

"Alright, let me introduce you all. This is our class's newest member—Ye Chen, a level 41 Soul Master," Mu Jin said with a smile, unable to suppress her grin.

Goodness, a freshman at level 41 Soul Master, in the freshman competition two months from now, her Class 9 is practically guaranteed to be the champion!

Zhou Yi was so lucky in the past, always receiving talented students, which is why she achieved some success. But Zhou Yi treats all of these as her own achievements. That's shameless.

She was extremely jealous before.

Lady Luck finally smiled upon her today, assigning her class a super monster!

"What! A level 41 Soul Master...!!"

"He must be over 12 years old, otherwise how could he be a Soul Master!"

"Even if he's over 12, he can't be that much older. Where did this monster come from..."

Upon hearing this, the entire Class 9 erupted in uproar, with everyone discussing it animatedly. Most of the boys were incredulous and questioned the story.

On the contrary, the female students all had complete faith in Ye Chen, and their eyes were shining with excitement.

So young, yet so talented, and so handsome, with an approachable demeanor—who wouldn't like that?
"Ye Chen is about the same age as you all. You should all learn from him. I hope you can get along well in the future and strive for good results in the freshman competition..."

As a teacher, Mu Jin was naturally eloquent and spoke a lot of encouraging words, which made many students feel excited.

However, some of those words were specifically addressed to Ye Chen.

Shrek currently only offers three types of courses: theory, combat, and physical training.

Among them, physical training and practical training account for the largest proportion.

Physical training is a tradition at Shrek Academy; every class needs it.

Ye Chen listened to Mu Jin's explanation, but he was somewhat speechless.

In Ye Chen's opinion, the three months of teaching were completely useless.

Because cultivation still relies on resources and talent.

In the Douluo Continent I era, cultivation resources were scarce, but in this era, cultivation resources are plentiful.

For example, Huo Yuhao's cultivation level increased by 5 levels directly after taking the Xuan Shui Dan and Sheng Hun Dan.

Without resources, which student could improve by 5 levels in 3 months through self-study?
Even the original Shrek couldn't do that.

As the old saying goes, "What makes you think that your ten years of studying are worth three generations of my business?"

Why is it that Shrek's three months of training can be equivalent to someone else's six years of hard training before the age of 12?
What can you do in 3 months?
It's useless.

Even Huo Yuhao, who possessed extraordinary luck, could only increase his level by 6. The Xuan Shui Pill increased his level by 2, the Sheng Hun Pill increased his level by 3, and Huo Yuhao himself cultivated diligently for 24 hours a day, increasing his level by 1.

Even with cheating for 3 months, you can only increase your level by 6. Without cheating, you won't get any improvement at all.

Shrek Academy's elimination process not only eliminates students who lack talent, but also those with weak backgrounds, because these students do not have enough resources to support their cultivation and will inevitably achieve little in the future.

Those who barely made it in are from poor families and lack talent. Even if they were given an extra year of training, let alone three months of training, they would still be eliminated.

There were over 1000 new students, but 50% were eliminated. These 50% were destined to be eliminated from the moment they entered the university.

Of course, there might be one or two exceptions, like Huo Yuhao, who could win in team battles, but the proportion would be extremely low.

This kind of outlier is exactly what Shrek Academy hopes to see; if they truly have potential, then they can invest resources to nurture them.

If it's just good luck, then they'll be gone sooner or later. Shrek won't waste their time on ordinary people.

Of course, these are all Ye Chen's opinions.

Shrek Academy remains a sacred place for new students.

They look forward to being able to soar to the top in the freshman competition after three months of training.

……

……

After explaining for a while, Mu Jin waved her hand and said, "Alright, let's go to the training ground. We'll be doing combat training today."

"Okay~"

Upon hearing this, the students cheered loudly.

All Soul Masters are warlike. Although practical combat classes are sometimes more tiring than physical training classes, they are the most popular courses among all students.
