"Hehe, since you all have passed, I'll take you directly to the final test."
Seeing that Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing all had cultivation levels exceeding level 25, Dai Mubai snapped out of his shock and couldn't help but laugh.
"Final test? Do you still have tests after the second one?"
Hearing Dai Mubai's words, Xiao Wu couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Yes! There are more. We have a total of four tests!"
Dai Mubai nodded and replied.
"The first test is what you experienced when you signed up. We check age, soul power, and soul rings. Only those who are under twelve years old, have soul power above level 21, and possess two hundred-year soul rings can pass the first round of testing."
"The second test is what I just mentioned, assessing your development direction. We have specialized teachers to evaluate whether your martial souls have potential and if the development direction is correct. Only those with sufficient potential and correct development direction can pass."
"However, because our academy is called Shrek Academy, also known as Monster Academy, if a student's martial soul is extremely unique and peculiar, they can also pass."
"For example, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass martial soul. Being able to cultivate to level 29 with a Blue Silver Grass martial soul by the age of twelve makes Tang San extremely peculiar. So even if the development direction of the martial soul isn't correct, we would still accept him."
"The third test assesses the student's application and control abilities over their martial soul. A soul master, even with high soul power and a martial soul with great potential, if they don't know how to apply their martial soul or can't even control it proficiently, such a soul master is definitely not diligent, and we won't accept them!"
"As for the fourth test, I'll keep it a mystery for now. I'll tell you when we get there!"
Dai Mubai smiled and said.
Hearing Dai Mubai's words, Tang San and Xiao Wu both looked somewhat confused but felt it sounded impressive.
Ning Rongrong was also stunned, but Lin Ye and Zhu Zhuqing both frowned.
Unlike Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong, Lin Ye and Zhu Zhuqing had experienced more in life, were more mature, and more thoughtful.
Just listening to Dai Mubai's words, from Dai Mubai's perspective, Shrek Academy's admission standards were very high, and it seemed quite impressive.
After all, if it weren't impressive, how could it have such high requirements?
But this is a one-sided view, deducing the cause from the result.
Shrek Academy has high requirements, so it must be impressive—this is clearly nonsense!
Students attend soul master academies to improve themselves, to learn soul master knowledge, receive guidance from academy teachers, avoid detours, and use the academy's resources to speed up their cultivation!
And soul master academies benefit greatly in the future by nurturing excellent soul masters!
But Shrek Academy's admission criteria first require high talent, then assess whether the student's martial soul has strong potential and correct development direction, and finally test the student's application and control abilities over their martial soul to judge their diligence and effort!
Lin Ye found it strange.
You are selecting students who not only have high talent but also understand soul master knowledge, have martial souls with sufficient potential, and are very diligent.
Students with such qualities are considered top geniuses in any academy.
But in other academies, they can obtain cultivation resources. What can Shrek Academy offer its students?
Is it just a few Soul Sage teachers at Shrek Academy?
But most advanced soul master academies also have Soul Sage-level teachers!
And intermediate soul master academies, although they don't have Soul Sages, Soul Emperors are sufficient.
Not every Great Soul Master and Soul Elder needs to absorb soul rings of the same age as Lin Ye!
So hearing Dai Mubai's words, Lin Ye's impression of Shrek Academy worsened.
Lin Ye's current impression of Shrek Academy is only one thing: high standards but low capability!
He wondered how such an academy gained fame in the soul master world.
Perhaps it was because the first few geniuses who entered Shrek Academy were blind!
Lin Ye shook his head in his heart.
Beside him, Zhu Zhuqing also felt at a loss for words.
She stayed in a luxury hotel with Lin Ye, had ample cultivation resources, and had the Fallen Heart Flame to aid her cultivation.
But at Shrek Academy, looking at the dilapidated buildings around and hearing the harsh admission requirements, she felt utterly baffled!
If it weren't for wanting to see for herself whether Dai Mubai's character was truly as Lin Ye described, she would have turned around and left right now.
She perfectly met Shrek Academy's admission requirements, but with such good conditions at Lin Ye's place, why would she come to a place like Shrek Academy to suffer?
In such an academy, could she really become stronger faster?
Although she couldn't truly see Dai Mubai's nature yet, during this time, by observing Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing had already started to believe Lin Ye's words.
Because ever since Dai Mubai came out, Zhu Zhuqing could feel his eyes frequently glancing over, but she didn't like the way he looked at her.
It wasn't recognition but rather treating her like prey, wanting to pursue her!
She had seen such looks many times in the Star Luo Imperial City!
"Let's go, I'll take you to the final test."
While Lin Ye and Zhu Zhuqing were each lost in their thoughts, Dai Mubai, smiling, led everyone to the final test.
As they continued deeper into the village, a large playground appeared not far away.
On the playground, a short, stocky, muscular middle-aged man was lying on a recliner, basking in the sun and dozing off.
"We're here. Wait here for a moment. I'll go call the teacher."
Upon reaching the playground, Dai Mubai asked everyone to wait and then walked over to the dozing teacher.
"Teacher Zhao, someone is here for the test!"
The latest novel is first published at 69shu!
Walking up to the middle-aged man, Dai Mubai shouted loudly.
"Huh? Someone's here for the fourth test?"
Hearing Dai Mubai's voice, Teacher Zhao immediately woke up, rubbing his sleepy eyes and yawning as he asked.
"Yes, someone's here for the fourth test, and there are four of them, all directly exempt from the first two tests!"
Dai Mubai nodded and replied.
"Four, and all directly exempt to the final test?!"
Hearing Dai Mubai's words, Teacher Zhao immediately became fully awake and sat up abruptly from the recliner.
Being directly exempt from the first two tests requires soul power above level 25!
"Huh? Why are there five?"
When Teacher Zhao looked over at the group, because Lin Ye was also there, he noticed five people and was immediately puzzled.
"That tall young man in silver-gray outerwear is accompanying his friend to enroll in our Shrek Academy!"
Dai Mubai explained.
"Oh! So he's not a student of our Shrek Academy!"
Hearing Dai Mubai's explanation, Teacher Zhao immediately lost interest.
"Hehe, not bad this year! Four students with soul power above level 25 enrolling!"
Teacher Zhao slowly looked over Tang San, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong, feeling quite satisfied.
"Good! If you can pass my assessment, you'll become members of our Shrek Academy. But my assessment isn't easy to pass. The first three tests assess superficial things, but I test your practical combat abilities. Be prepared!"
"Test practical combat abilities?"
Hearing Teacher Zhao's words, everyone couldn't help but feel curious, including Lin Ye.
But regarding how Shrek Academy tests practical combat abilities, given his impression of the academy, Lin Ye felt it would likely be as absurd as the first three tests!
