Douluo Continent: I'm writing a diary, and something's not right with you guys.

Finally, the last match ended, the referee announced the winner, and the main lights of the arena went out completely, leaving only the emergency lights in the corridor still on, emitting a dim yellow glow.

"Let's go, go back."

Lin Ye stood up, dusted himself off, and said to Wang Dong'er beside him.

Wang Dong'er nodded without saying a word, silently following behind Lin Ye as they walked towards the exit of the Soul Arena.

Chapter 125 Too High a Standard

Shrek Academy was exceptionally quiet at night, with a gentle breeze carrying the faint scents of flowers and grass.

There were hardly any pedestrians on the road, and occasionally you could see a few students returning late, hurrying towards the dormitory area.

Neither of them spoke on the way back to the dormitory.

Wang Dong'er was a man of few words; she rarely spoke unless necessary.

Lin Ye kept replaying the three matches in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more speechless he felt.

He originally thought that as the highest-ranking student in the outer academy of the continent's top academy, even if he wasn't that strong, he should at least have the qualities of a genius.

Unexpectedly, their skill level was so poor.

Let alone comparing her to herself, even if Wang Dong'er were a whole realm lower than them now, she could easily defeat any one of them in a one-on-one fight.

As Lin Ye walked, he opened the diary in his mind.

Just got back from the Soul Arena. Today was quite an eye-opener; I finally witnessed the true level of the highest grade in Shrek Academy's outer court.

Well, it's hard to put into words.

Although many people criticize the world of Douluo Continent for being a fantasy world with low power levels, it is undeniable that the colorful special effects when they unleash their soul skills are truly dazzling.

With the various colored soul rings lighting up and the soul skills unleashed, fire, lightning, and frost filled the sky, looking quite intimidating. Anyone who didn't know better would think it was some kind of world-destroying ultimate move.

However, special effects are one thing, but skill is another.

Today I watched all three matches by sixth-year students from the Foreign Languages ​​Department. After watching them, I can only describe them in four words.

Rotten fish and shrimp.

Is this all there is to it? They can become sixth-year students at Shrek Academy's outer academy?

If I remember correctly, Shrek Academy has a mandatory college entrance exam system, right?

Students must reach the corresponding soul power level before the specified age to advance to the next level of school; even being one level below that level will disqualify them.

In other words, those who can advance five times in a row, from first grade all the way to sixth grade, must be one in ten thousand geniuses, the best of the best selected from thousands of students.

But how come these so-called geniuses are so pathetic when it comes to fighting spirit?

I observed them carefully, noting their spirit ring combinations, spirit skill usage, power exertion techniques, entry timing, and ability to seize opportunities.

I see absolutely no level of talent that the top-grade students in the foreign language department of the No. 1 academy on the mainland should possess.

First, let's talk about the use of soul skills. Those few aggressive brutes only knew how to fight with their soul power from beginning to end. They unleashed their soul skills louder and louder, but they didn't do any actual damage.

After fighting for a long time, both of them only suffered minor injuries and didn't even deplete much of their soul power.

And those two control-type characters, their soul skill combos are as slow as snails, and their control accuracy is ridiculously poor. They can miss even when such a big person is standing there. I'm embarrassed for them.

The most outrageous thing was that two-on-two team battle, where all four players went up and each fought their own battle, with absolutely no teamwork.

The offensive classes charged in and started hacking away recklessly, while the control classes frantically unleashed their soul skills from behind, nearly controlling their own teammates several times.

If I were their teacher, I'd probably faint from anger on the spot.

With this level of skill, how dare they call themselves Shrek's genius?

I really don't know what's going on with the teaching at Shrek Academy's external affairs department, or has the quality of students really declined that much in recent years?

A familiar sensation came to Wang Dong'er's mind.

She didn't pause in her steps, nor did her expression change. With a thought, she opened a copy of the diary.

The diary entries flashed through her mind, and after reading them, Wang Dong'er was both amused and exasperated.

Where did this guy get his illusions from?

She thought to herself that Lin Ye was absolutely right; those who could advance to the sixth grade at Shrek Academy were indeed the best among their peers.

Although she hadn't been at Shrek Academy for very long, she was very familiar with the academy's admission rules.

Shrek Academy never tolerates idlers. Every entrance exam is a brutal selection process, and those who remain are all elites whose talent, perseverance, and mental strength far surpass those of ordinary people.

But that depends on who you're comparing it to.

Wang Dong'er still remembers how shocked she was when she first saw Lin Ye's twin martial souls and soul ring ratio in his diary.

The first martial soul is a god-level martial soul, and the second martial soul is even more than a god-level martial soul.

At the age of twelve, he already possessed various ten-thousand-year, one-hundred-thousand-year soul rings and one-hundred-thousand-year soul bones.

Such a starting point is something that even Super Douluo and Limit Douluo could only dream of when they were young, let alone their peers.

Actually, Wang Dong'er was quite gratified.

She could sense that Lin Ye had changed a lot during this time. He was no longer as out of place as he was when he first came to this world, and he always carried a sense of detachment like an outsider.

Lin Ye now truly considers himself a part of this world and has genuinely integrated himself into it.

Despite her relief, she couldn't help but want to complain.

Lin Ye's starting point is too high, ridiculously high.

Such a person has never appeared before in the entire history of Douluo Continent.

Who is born with twin god-level martial souls?

Who would dare to absorb a 100,000-year-old spirit ring as their third spirit ring?

Who possesses a soul bone that is 100,000 years old at the age of twelve?

He obtained what others strive their whole lives for with great effort.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao's image involuntarily appeared in Wang Dong'er's mind.

Huo Yuhao appears to have amazing talent, with his first spirit ring being the million-year-old Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm Wisdom Spirit Ring, which is unique in the entire history of Douluo Continent.

But Wang Dong'er knew in her heart that Huo Yuhao's million-year soul ring and Lin Ye's hundred-thousand-year soul ring were not the same thing at all.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm is an exception. It has lived for a million years but has almost no combat power. Its only advantage is its strong mental strength.

The million-year spirit ring it gave Huo Yuhao seemed impressive, but in reality, it couldn't unleash the full power a million-year spirit ring should have.

All Huo Yuhao could use was the spiritual power of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and a few spiritual soul skills that were better than nothing.

But Lin Ye is different.

Each of his spirit rings is a genuine, top-tier spirit ring with explosive combat power.

In particular, that 100,000-year-old spirit ring not only gave him a powerful offensive spirit skill, but also comprehensively improved his strength, defense, and physical attributes.

He can unleash the full power of this 100,000-year soul ring whenever he wants.

To reiterate, Lin Ye's starting point is the endpoint that 99.99% of Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent can never reach in their entire lives.

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Girls' Dormitory.

It was late at night, and the entire dormitory building was quiet, with only the occasional soft breathing sound.

Orange was already fast asleep when suddenly a familiar vibration in her mind jolted her awake.

Chapter 126 Processing Results

Orange suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze still somewhat dazed, and it took her several seconds to realize what was happening.

She rubbed her slightly sore eyes, sat up, leaned against the headboard, and pulled the blanket over herself.

The dormitory was pitch black, with only a sliver of moonlight filtering in from the window, illuminating her slightly pale face.

She had absolutely no interest in the fight between Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, so when the diary was updated earlier, she only read the beginning and then stopped reading.

Anyway, those things at Shrek Academy had nothing to do with her.

With a thought, Ju Zi opened the copy of the diary and started reading from where she hadn't finished last time, reading through all the missed content and the latest entry in one go.

After reading it, she leaned against the headboard, remained silent for a long time, and then revealed a bitter smile.

If she had Lin Ye's talent, all the difficulties and dangers she was facing would be insignificant.

But the reality is that her talent is pitifully poor.

She still remembers how desperate she felt when she saw Lin Ye write about his future fate in his diary.

Lin Ye said that she would become the empress of the Sun Moon Empire in the future, control the largest national machinery on the entire continent, and have inexhaustible resources.

Even so, her soul power could only be raised to the Soul Emperor level, and then she could not make any further progress.

It took the resources of an entire empire to barely reach the Soul Emperor level.

This is enough to show just how poor her talent really is.

Right now, she has no resources, no background, and is under Xu Tianran's close surveillance.
