Douluo Continent: Not enough bloodline? Make up for it with brains

Chapter 28 Cai Yue'er

Wang Hao could see the scene Xu Yuan was facing at that moment.

The Colosseum is similar to the Ascension Platform; it can also use technology to display its interior scenes to the outside world.

An elderly woman walked in, leaning on a cane.

Wang Hao glanced at it subconsciously, and then shivered.

"Old Cai, you've arrived." He smiled awkwardly and greeted the old woman respectfully.

"This child is good."

Cai Yue'er's gaze was fixed on the screen, watching Xu Yuan's response.

"Is he Xu Yuan?"

"Elder Cai, you know him?" Wang Hao was surprised, not expecting that the elder had known about this junior's existence so early on.

"Hmph, how could I not know? That old bastard Zhuo Shi personally told me." Cai Yue'er snorted and looked at the screen, approving of Xu Yuan's reaction.

For Shrek's students, this reaction would only earn them a low score, but barely passable. However, Xu Yuan is only seven years old.

Even if Xu Shengqun wanted to, he probably wouldn't have been able to teach Xu Yuan much about his abilities in that year.

"How many points did you give this kid in the first round?"

"Full marks," Wang Hao replied honestly.

"Perfect score?"

"His willpower is very strong; he can even control himself to break free from the dragon's might. In addition, his mental strength is as high as 260," Wang Hao said with a wry smile.

Cai Yue'er's eyes were very bright.

She's starting to get interested in Xu Yuan.

Is such outstanding mental strength due to elemental control?

She watched Xu Yuan deal with the Earth Demon Rhino, and also observed the extent to which Xu Yuan had developed his control over the elements.

Xu Yuan grinned.

"This is not a place for humans to kill; we can only try to hold out as long as possible."

Xu Yuan used the five elements to disrupt the Earth Demon Rhino's attack process, interrupting its power at crucial moments each time, preventing it from launching its full-force attack.

Even so, Xu Yuan was in quite a sorry state.

Actually, he was also looking for an opportunity.

Unfortunately, the Earth Demon Rhino's defenses were already formidable, and with the added defensive power of the earth element, Xu Yuan found it difficult to break through its defenses.

Unless you attack their weaknesses.

Time passed, and a full half hour went by.

Feeling the soul power within his body, Xu Yuan had no choice but to make a final decision.

"Half an hour should have passed; I should have secured the points I needed to survive. It's time to take a risk."

Xu Yuan's attacks are difficult to break through, but not completely unbreakable. After all, his Five Elements Spear Techniques, when combined, can even attack space. In addition, after his soul spirit evolved, he has even comprehended the rudimentary form of spear intent. His burst of power can definitely injure the Earth Demon Rhino.

It's easy to get hurt, but difficult to die.

Once Xu Yuan closes the distance with someone in order to hurt them, it becomes very difficult for him to distance himself again.

This is also why he never attempted to attack with the Heavenly Origin Spear.

He needs to survive until he gets some points.

It's perfectly normal for a seven-year-old to participate in this assessment.

The Heavenly Origin Brush in my hand transforms its form.

With the Heavenly Origin Spear in hand, Xu Yuan's aura changed instantly.

It became incredibly sharp and unstoppable.

Facing the oncoming Earth Demon Rhinoceros, Xu Yuan did not shy away and went to meet it head-on.

At the tip of the spear, the five elements collided and merged, causing turbulence in the surrounding space.

The surrounding world seemed to be manipulated by Xu Yuan, making his aura inexplicably strong. At the same time, Xu Yuan himself was highly focused, as if he had transformed into a long spear.

prick!

The first spirit ring shone with a purple light.

puff.

boom!

Xu Yuan's Heavenly Origin Spear pierced through the eyes of the Earth Demon Rhino and went straight into its head.

However, in order to pierce it, Xu Yuan forcibly changed the trajectory of the spear at the last moment, which caused the rhinoceros horn that was originally colliding with the spear to directly hit Xu Yuan.

The impact felt as if Xu Yuan's internal organs had been shattered.

He was sent flying backwards.

The abundant wood elemental power surrounding his body could only temporarily alleviate his pain.

With the death of the Earth Demon Rhinoceros, Xu Yuan also left the arena.

The body in the arena was simulated. Returning to reality and without the pain of the simulated body, Xu Yuan felt better immediately, but the lingering sensations in his consciousness still couldn't be dispelled instantly.

"Kid, you did well. You get full marks for this level. I hope you can keep it up for the next level." Cai Yue'er personally scored Xu Yuan, then left leaning on her cane.

Xu Yuan sat down cross-legged and, without waiting for Wang Hao to speak, began to recuperate on his own.

Through meditation, he quickly alleviated the mental pain.

"Wow, junior, your first spirit ring is already a thousand years old."

Xu Yuan smiled modestly: "Just lucky, just lucky."

Wang Hao continued to lead Xu Yuan to the next assessment.

"The third test is about adaptability. These guillotines are real guillotines; if you get cut, you die. You get six points in thirty seconds. For every three seconds you are short, you get one point more, and for every three seconds you are short, you lose one point."

In the third round, Wang Hao clearly stated the scoring criteria for the assessment.

Xu Yuan looked at the rows of guillotine gates connected together, but he did not feel afraid.

It's impossible that this could actually kill anyone, right?

After all, the worst that can happen is that we have to go slower.

"It's started!" Wang Hao immediately began the timer.

Xu Yuan rushed out.

His speed was extremely fast, and his mental power covered everything. He could clearly visualize the state of all the guillotines in his mind, and at the same time, he could instantly calculate the operating status of all the guillotines and select the optimal route.

Twelve seconds.

In just twelve seconds, he passed through all the guillotine gates.

"Junior's reaction was also very good." Wang Hao praised, and recorded Xu Yuan as the third perfect score.

"Let's go, the next level is the fourth one."

Wang Hao led Xu Yuan into a room.

"The fourth test is about special skills. You need to figure out what you're good at. I'll go ask the examiner for help, and you can think about it too." After saying that, Wang Hao left through the side door, leaving Xu Yuan standing there thinking.

They said they were giving us time to think, but in reality, they didn't give us much time.

Cai Yue'er had been waiting at this stage for a while and soon entered the room.

"Xu Yuan, show us your best abilities." Cai Yue'er sat in a chair with two other middle-aged men, whose expressions showed great respect for her.

"I've only been cultivating for a year, and I haven't even started to specialize in any particular area yet. Right now, I have too many areas of expertise," Xu Yuan stated frankly.

He's only been cultivating for a year.

Wang Hao's lips twitched.

But you met all the standards for officially joining Shrek Academy in every ability you were assessed on before.

"Then show us all the tricks you think are good." Cai Yue'er was quite tolerant; she only frowned slightly before allowing Xu Yuan to demonstrate a few more.

Xu Yuan clasped his hands in a fist salute, and the Heavenly Origin Brush appeared in his hand.

A purple spirit ring appeared, much to the surprise of the two middle-aged teachers.

Xu Yuan held the Heavenly Yuan Brush and sketched in the air.

Gold, wood, water, fire and earth!

The five elements were outlined under his brush, and they combined and changed freely in the air as the Tianyuan brush was used to draw them.
