Douluo Dragon King: I'm creating a golden age behind the scenes!

The pressure from the sky continued to increase, like ocean waves.

Faced with this terrifying pressure, Wei Heng did not make any move. Only a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and then the terrifying pressure could no longer suppress him.

However, upon closer inspection, one would find that within an inch radius around him, there seemed to be an unnamed force that completely dispelled the oppressive aura pouring down from above, preventing it from getting any closer.

However, the other six were not as composed as Wei Heng. They were all caught off guard by the terrifying pressure. Two of them were able to stand still and release their soul power to resist the pressure, while the others were pressed to the ground by the pressure and could not move.

Compared to the six men's disheveled appearance, Wei Heng, standing calmly beside them as if nothing had happened, stood out.

As time went by, the remaining two also began to sway unsteadily, as if they might collapse at any moment.

Wei Heng remained standing as if nothing had happened, seemingly still having plenty of energy left, even able to withstand the oppressive aura and look around at the other decorations in the assessment room.

Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and stared at an open space for a long time.

Just as the last two were about to collapse, the terrifying dragon's might instantly dissipated, and the two relaxed, collapsing to the ground.

"Oh? You were able to sense me."

A question arose out of nowhere, and a barrier of soul power manifested.

Shen Yi walked out from inside the barrier, to the open space where Wei Heng's gaze had just lingered. An old man came out with her.

The old man had a full head of white hair, tied up with a wooden hairpin. He wore a long, light green robe and a hint of surprise on his face. He nodded slightly as he looked at Wei Heng.

"Excellent, a very promising young man. This is the first time I've seen someone like him in all these years."

Among the candidates, some were able to completely disregard the oppressive aura of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King through sheer willpower. Young man, your mental strength must be considerable.

The fact that the opponent could withstand the oppressive aura of the Black-Eyed Golden Dragon King while still having the energy to notice their presence is simply impossible without sufficient mental strength.

[However, that aura just now, could it be intent? To have comprehended intent at such a young age?]

Regarding this matter, the old man dared not speculate based solely on the aura he had sensed just moments before, and could only keep it to himself without uttering a word.

This mental strength alone was enough to make him take notice. The young man before him must be a rare gem, and his cultivation level was not low either.

Wei Heng simply bowed modestly in response, without giving the old man a direct reply.

The old man didn't care. Geniuses all have secrets, let alone a genius like this young man in front of him. As long as he doesn't harm Shrek Academy, he won't deliberately pursue the matter.

Based on this mental strength alone, he was certain that none of the exams they were preparing for this year would be difficult for him.

Even Shen Yi stared at Wei Heng in surprise. When she first entered the school, she was not as composed as Wei Heng.

It's important to understand that in the Douluo Continent III era, to highlight the protagonist, the entire era has been emphasizing one word—"bloodline." As the progenitor of soul beasts, the Dragon God, along with the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings who are his half-bodies, can exert absolute bloodline suppression over all beast soul masters and soul beasts except for those at the Dragon King level.

Although Di Tian is not as powerful as the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings, as the patriarch of the Black Dragon Clan and the current Beast God, his bloodline suppression is something that not everyone can break free from.

This is also why Liu Tianran has always refused to assign beast martial souls to his clones, because there are very few options to break free from this bloodline suppression.

Even after she chose to become a teacher at Shrek Academy, she had never seen a new student in the Black Dragon Hall who could directly ignore the Black Dragon's pressure with their own mental power.

For students taking the entrance exam, this is a test of their mental strength.

The longer you persist, the higher your score will be in the mental assessment.

"Mr. Li, what about their rating..."

Old Li glanced at Wei Heng: "This little guy gets a perfect score. As for the other six... the first few who collapsed got zero points, and the last two who collapsed performed alright, so they're considered passable, six points."

Upon hearing Elder Li's words, the two who passed looked relieved, while the others who failed looked rather grim, especially since they had received zero points. This made them, who had always considered themselves geniuses, feel somewhat ashamed.

"The assessment is divided into multiple parts, with each part having a maximum score of ten points and a passing score of six. The total score is calculated after all the test parts are completed. There will be additional deductions for failing a single part. There will be additional bonus points for achieving a perfect score in a single part."

So, it's okay if you get a low score in this round; you can try to make up for it in the next round.

Seeing the four people's pale faces, Shen Yi explained something to them to avoid putting too much psychological burden on them.

Although what she said wasn't much better, even the two competent people started to lose their joy when they heard her words.

"Teacher, how many stages are there in the assessment? What score is considered passing?" The girl among the two who passed asked the question.

Shen Yi said, "There are ten levels in total. You need a score of 60 to pass."

"Can you tell us what the next test will be like?" the girl asked again. Even the others turned their attention to Shen Yi.

Shen Yi shook his head without hesitation, "No."

The others were greatly disappointed.

Shen Yi didn't care about the others' attitudes. It was just that Shrek Academy's entrance exam was set up this way. They didn't accept ordinary people, but monsters.

"You will then have a short rest period of about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Of course, you may also choose to continue the challenges if you wish."

The other six immediately shook their heads, indicating that they wanted to rest for a while.

Wei Heng, however, said to Shen Yi, "Teacher Shen, I choose to continue the challenge."

"Are you sure? Let me tell you in advance, in the next few levels, the difficulty will increase significantly without teammates. You..." Shen Yi kindly reminded him.

Just as Shen Yi was about to continue persuading him, the old man beside her interrupted her.

"No need, just send him to the fourth level."

Shen Yi was shocked upon hearing this: "What? Elder Lin, isn't this against the rules? Should we discuss it with the others?"

"It's alright, I still have that much authority," Old Lin said, glancing at Wei Heng. "Besides, monsters should be tested in a monster-like way."

After saying that, she drifted away, leaving Shen Yi, who was left behind, speechless.

Wei Heng even heard her mutter to herself with a hint of resentment, "Why is it like this again? These old folks always like to give me problems."

He then took a deep breath and turned to Wei Heng and his group, saying, "Wei Heng, come with me. As for the other candidates, stay where you are. I will notify the other teachers to take you to continue the exam."

After saying that, he led Wei Heng deeper into the teaching building. Along the way, they saw many candidates taking the exam in other rooms. Some were celebrating their success, while others walked out dejectedly.

Alas, those who have made it this far are all highly anticipated geniuses. Unfortunately, genius is merely the threshold to enter this place.

While he was pondering this, he was led into a large room. Shen Yi pointed to a chair on one side of the room.

"Please wait here for a moment while I go and fetch the examiner. This round will test your special skills."

"We'll only test one skill, so you can think about what you want to showcase here first. Your main skill is related to your own abilities." After saying that, she turned and left.

Shen Yi didn't ask whether Wei Heng needed to rest, because as someone who had witnessed how he passed the first test, she knew very well that the young man in front of her hadn't expended much energy.

Given the other person's personality, even if she spoke up, they would probably just want to arrange the assessment as soon as possible.

In less than five minutes, Shen Yi returned, accompanied by three people: two middle-aged men and an elderly woman.

The old woman, holding a cane, walked in with faltering steps, muttering to herself as she went.

"That old Lin is really good at causing me trouble. I'm not like him. I'm usually very busy. He insists on finding a rare little monster. If this doesn't work, I'll teach him a lesson."

As he spoke, he sat down in the center of a long table on one side of the venue.

The two middle-aged men didn't dare to respond to her. They stood aside and waited respectfully until she sat down before taking their seats, while Shen Yi remained standing.

Wei Heng calmly observed the three of them. The old woman nodded, seeing that Wei Heng remained neither humble nor arrogant in front of them. Especially after seeing Wei Heng's sunny and handsome appearance and upright demeanor, her anger subsided somewhat, and her words naturally became more restrained than usual.

"Hmm, your mental fortitude is not bad. Young man, we are now your proctors for this exam. The test will now begin. Remember, you only have one chance. Show me your best talent."

Wei Heng walked up to the three people, bowed, and nodded slightly to them. His expression was respectful but not obsequious, as if he were facing ordinary elders. "Then I shall begin."

The old woman nodded as she watched Wei Heng's actions and said, "Let's begin."

Wei Heng reached out and summoned his martial spirit.

This long spear is like a warrior who has been asleep for many years and has just been awakened. The spear shaft is slender and ancient, made of an unknown dark metal, and the texture on it is like the marks of time, each line seemingly telling a story of the past.

Upon closer inspection, some ancient runes can be faintly seen on the surface of the spear, shimmering with a mysterious light under the dim glow, as if guarding the power contained within the spear.

The next moment, "Black, black, black, black."

Four terrifying spirit rings rose from beneath his feet. Even Shen Yi, who had witnessed such a spirit ring configuration three years ago and was already a Spirit Saint, couldn't help but breathe rapidly upon seeing this scene again.

"A ten-thousand-year-old soul ring!"

The three experienced examiners, including the old woman, were so shocked by this scene that they stood up abruptly.

The next moment, the old woman, Cai Yue'er, frowned and quickly used her spiritual power to carefully sense it. Then she breathed a sigh of relief; it was indeed a ten-thousand-year soul ring, and with her spiritual power, she couldn't possibly be wrong.

But that's precisely why she found it even more unbelievable.

The fourth spirit ring of a Soul Master is at the ten-thousand-year level, which is not uncommon in Shrek Academy. Some geniuses can achieve this as well. Not to mention, there is now the Spirit Ascension Platform, a powerful tool for improving spirit ring cultivation.

However, having four ten-thousand-year soul rings at the Soul Master level is something that has never happened before in the history of the continent!

The most recent ones were those few oddballs who suddenly appeared in the Tianhai Grand Competition three years ago, but they were all geniuses who could support a super power and become giants in the Soul Master world.

After all, completing the Spirit Ascension at the Soul Master level and possessing four ten-thousand-year Soul Rings is a completely different concept from waiting until one's Soul Power increases before going to the Spirit Ascension Platform to complete the Spirit Ascension.

This also means that the young man in front of us not only possesses at least the Spirit Sea Realm in spiritual power, but his physical body is also no less than that of a Soul Saint.

Sure enough, the next moment, an incomparably powerful spiritual force erupted from Wei Heng's body. Even Shen Yi, who was watching from the side, felt her thoughts pause for a moment when Wei Heng unleashed the power, and then her body felt heavy, as if a large rock was pressing down on her.

"The spiritual power of the Spirit Abyss Realm!"

Cai Yue'er's eyes widened instantly, and then a surge of spiritual energy flowed from her body, forming an invisible barrier that blocked the ripples caused by Wei Heng's burst of spiritual energy.
