Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 84 Holiday

Wang Qiu'er knew that Zhang Lexuan had come to find Ji Lin. Although she was very unhappy, she knew Ji Lin's personality very well because she had some of Ji Lin's memories. She thought that if she wanted him to give up on other people, she might as well just stab him to death.

She couldn't bring herself to do it now. Being at a disadvantage in this relationship, Wang Qiu'er could only pretend not to see it and actively avoid it, giving Ji Lin space to spend time with Zhang Lexuan.

She even said she would turn a blind eye to Ma Xiaotao's matter and not interfere too much.

This behavior is called strategic concession. Choosing to temporarily back down in order to maintain her relationship with Ji Lin is a wise choice.

Taking drastic measures to intervene directly could potentially damage her relationship with Ji Lin.

These were the suggestions from her two advisors, Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er, who said that her unassuming, gentle, and generous demeanor would make Ji Lin like her more and cherish their relationship even more.

As for whether the two cunning advisors had their own selfish motives, that remains to be seen.

Time passed slowly, and eight months had gone by since the freshman assessment.

Ji Lin had a very fulfilling eight months, spending time cultivating, dating, and studying, growing every day.

In terms of cultivation, thanks to Wang Qiu'er's dual cultivation with him, he increased his soul power by two levels in eight months and is now a level 46 Soul Master. It should be noted that the higher the level, the slower the progress, and since he has the ultimate attribute, it is even slower. The fact that he was able to increase his level by two in eight months is entirely due to Wang Qiu'er's daily dual cultivation with him.

During these eight months of dual cultivation, Wang Qiu'er has also advanced two levels, and is now at level thirty-nine. She has a great chance of breaking through to level forty before the upgrade assessment.

In terms of romance, his relationship with Wang Qiu'er gradually warmed up. They were inseparable for eight months, cultivating together, and their understanding grew stronger. In addition, Wang Qiu'er chose to ignore Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao's affairs, which made Ji Lin breathe a sigh of relief and cherish his relationship with Wang Qiu'er even more.

Over the course of eight months, his relationship with Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao grew increasingly intimate.

Especially with Ma Xiaotao, every time she suppressed her lustful desires, the two would have some intimate contact, and over time, they had gotten used to it.

At dusk, in a grove of trees by the Sea God Lake, Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er embraced, their bodies radiating red and golden light.

Clearly, the two were cultivating. Since their relationship progressed further, they rarely returned to their dormitory at night. Instead, they would come to their secret base every night to cultivate, staying until morning when classes started.

This is also why their cultivation levels improved so quickly.

The next day, early in the morning.

The light emanating from the two people embracing slowly faded. They opened their eyes at the same time, looked at each other, and a faint smile unconsciously appeared on their faces.

After finishing their training, the two held hands and went to the cafeteria for breakfast. Today was also their last day of first-year studies. Tomorrow, Shrek Academy's outer courtyard would officially begin its summer vacation.

After breakfast, they arrived at the classroom early. It had been eleven months since they entered Shrek Academy, and they were already quite familiar with their classmates.

Seeing the two enter the classroom hand in hand, the other students were already used to it. Everyone knew about the relationship between Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er, just like that between Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu. Although it wasn't as obvious as Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er's, everyone knew about their relationship, after all, their surnames and martial souls were there.

Zhou Yi and Wang Yan entered the classroom together. Whenever Zhou Yi was there, the atmosphere in Class 1, Grade 1 could always be described as solemn, no matter the time. Even though tomorrow was a holiday, no one dared to provoke this monstrous teacher at this time! If she suddenly lost her temper, no one could stand it.

Wang Yan walked up to the podium, while Zhou Yi went to the back of the classroom and sat in an empty chair.

"Students, today is your last day of first year. The academy hasn't assigned any teaching tasks. I'll just say a few words, and then you can go back and pack your things."

Upon hearing Wang Yan's words, the whole class erupted in cheers. Even Zhou Yi's presence was forgotten. With the holidays approaching, everyone felt a longing to go home and see their families! Of course, those without family were an exception.

Wang Yan smiled and said, "Everyone has worked very hard this past year. I can say that you are the best class I have ever taught. On behalf of myself and Teacher Zhou Yi, I thank you all for your hard work. Your efforts will bring our class a shared glory."

"But," Wang Yan suddenly changed the subject.

"Unlike other academies that have final exams at the end of each academic year, Shrek Academy doesn't have final exams. I think everyone understands why. The test of whether you've qualified as second-year students will be at the beginning of the next academic year. So, don't relax at all after you go back; in fact, you should put in even more effort during the next month-long break than when you're at the academy. Only in this way can you stay for the next academic year. I like each and every one of you, and I hope that next academic year, our class will be complete."

Wang Yan's words were full of affirmation and expectations for the students, but also revealed a hint of seriousness. He reminded the students that although there were no final exams, it didn't mean they could relax. On the contrary, they needed to put in even more effort during the holidays to ensure a smooth transition into the next school year.

Wang Yan's words filled the students with both excitement and anxiety. They realized that while the holiday was a time for rest and relaxation, it was also a crucial period for self-improvement and laying a solid foundation for the future. They began to think about how to make the most of this holiday to achieve better results in the next school year.

Next, Wang Yan explained some key points of the upgrade assessment. The first is that you need to have at least level 20 cultivation to obtain the second soul ring.

The second is the practical assessment, but he didn't know the specifics of it.

In addition to the individual upgrade assessment, he also emphasized the class assessment, because even if all students pass the individual assessment, if the class assessment is not completed 100%, then a portion of the students will be eliminated based on a percentage.

His explanation immediately made everyone understand, but they were also stunned. The students, who had expected to relax and rest after the holiday, were all speechless with astonishment. This was especially true of the students with higher cultivation levels. They were confident they would pass next year's assessment without a problem, but they never imagined there would be a separate class assessment.
