Douluo Dalu: I'm Summoning Game Characters

The female teacher looked at Gu Yue with pleasant surprise. If she could recruit an S-rank student, she would receive generous rewards from the academy.

After all, St. Freya Academy was famously wealthy. Not only did excellent students receive high scholarships, but teachers whose students performed well also received rewards from the academy.

This was also why St. Freya Academy had recruited a large number of teachers in just two years, with most of them being headhunted from other Soul Master academies with high salaries.

It wasn't that their original Soul Master academies treated them poorly; it was simply that St. Freya Academy offered too much.

Even Soul Masters needed to support their families, and to ensure a better future for their children, they naturally needed higher incomes.

Gu Yue, at just eleven years old, had already reached Rank 38 Soul Elder. Such talent, even in Shrek Academy, would make her a key cultivation target, let alone at St. Freya Academy. As long as she passed the assessment, being evaluated as S-rank would definitely be more than sufficient.

"Your name is Gu Yue, right? Welcome to St. Freya Academy. Next, I'll personally take you to participate in the entrance assessment. The results of this assessment will determine which class you'll be assigned to."

The female teacher had a gentle smile on her face and immediately handed over the registration work to her assisting student, a senior student at St. Freya Academy.

She personally led Gu Yue into the academy, preparing to take her to the entrance assessment.

The senior student cast an envious glance at Gu Yue. To be valued by a teacher and personally led to the entrance assessment meant she must have extremely high talent.

Unlike him, whose potential had reached its limit, if he wanted to advance further in the future, he could only participate in the assessment for the Golden Guard and strive to become one of them.

Looking at Gu Yue's information on the table, a hint of shock flashed in his eyes. This level of talent reminded him of the "monsters" in the academy who were also S-rank, just like the City Lord.

By the way, his own rating was D-rank, and whether he could break through to the Soul King realm in the future was still unknown.

"Teacher, could you tell me what the entrance assessment tests?" Gu Yue asked, full of curiosity. After all, seeing the teacher's serious demeanor, the entrance assessment seemed extremely important.

"Heh heh, our St. Freya Academy is different from other Soul Master academies. It not only tests your soul power rank but also your practical combat ability and adaptability. The results of the entrance assessment will determine your rating at the academy."

The female teacher was very patient. After all, Gu Yue was key to her receiving generous rewards. The more outstanding Gu Yue was, the more generous her rewards would be.

"Rating?" Gu Yue became even more curious.

"Yes, the academy divides students into five ranks: S, A, B, C, and D. If you can be rated A-rank, it means you have the potential to become a Titled Douluo."

The female teacher patiently explained, "Of course, this rating is not set in stone. The academy will re-evaluate your rating based on your performance at the academy and your results in each assessment."

"After all, students grow, and with some opportunities, it's not impossible to change your rating."

"The higher your rating, the better the class you'll be assigned to, the stronger the teacher who guides you, and you might even have the opportunity to receive personal guidance from Her Excellency Xueyue."

Towards the end, the female teacher's eyes held an unconcealed excitement as she looked at Gu Yue. This was an S-rank talent, simply a super treasure. Her luck today was incredibly good to encounter her.

At St. Freya Academy, Jingliu had always treated students' talents equally, even willing to teach D-rank students.

However, in the past two years, the academy's enrollment had expanded rapidly, and the number of students had surged. Even with Jingliu's extraordinary energy, it was genuinely difficult to find enough time to attend to every student.

Thus, the student rating system came into being.

Only those students who actively improved their strength and continuously progressed in their ratings would have the opportunity to receive Jingliu's personal guidance.

This decision, in fact, originated from Lu Jingming's suggestion.

After all, the rating standards adopted by the academy were not simply based on talent but comprehensively considered all aspects of overall quality, such as combat skills, adaptability, and soul power control.

Of course, it was undeniable that talented students often found it easier to achieve higher ratings. After all, in the Douluo Continent, where martial souls reigned supreme, talent was an extremely crucial factor.

"We're here. This is the assessment location," the female teacher's clear voice interrupted Gu Yue's thoughts. She led Gu Yue to a teaching building at the academy.

Entering the building and passing through a long corridor, the two arrived at a spacious room.

The room contained many metal capsules. Gu Yue looked around and saw that the hatches of some metal capsules were already closed, with students of similar age lying inside, evidently undergoing the assessment.

The female teacher took out her teacher's card from her pocket and lightly swiped it on the card slot next to a metal capsule. With a slight "beep," an empty metal capsule slowly opened.

She smiled at Gu Yue and patiently explained, "This is a soul tool that connects to the Simulated Universe. It's different from the general login devices used outside. This one is specially developed by the academy and is called the Holographic Strategy. Once you enter it, it will match you with a suitable opponent for a practical combat assessment."

As she spoke, a hint of pride showed in the female teacher's eyes. After all, this was the academy's unique technology.

"The Holographic Strategy has six star difficulties. If you successfully pass the five-star difficulty assessment, you'll be rated as S-rank. If you pass the six-star difficulty, you'll not only receive one-on-one diligent guidance from a Titled Douluo, but the academy will also invest a large amount of cultivation resources into you," the female teacher meticulously explained the assessment rules.

Upon hearing this, a faint glimmer immediately flashed in Gu Yue's eyes. She was no stranger to the Simulated Universe. In the past two years, she had frequently left the Star Dou Great Forest to explore various new things in the human world.

However, this "Holographic Strategy" was indeed something she had heard of for the first time. Still, she knew that Ms. Herta, the developer of the Simulated Universe, resided in Sea Abyss City, so it was normal for improvements to be made based on the Simulated Universe.

Soon, under the female teacher's guidance, Gu Yue lay down in the metal capsule.

The internal structure of the metal capsule exceeded her expectations. It was not only very comfortable but also emitted a faint, calming fragrance that seemed to dispel all tension and unease from one's heart.

As her spiritual power gradually connected with the virtual world, Gu Yue felt a flash of light before her eyes. When she opened them again, she was already on a spacious plaza.

The surrounding environment was as realistic as the real world. Under her feet was solid flagstone ground, and above her head was a clear blue sky. A gentle breeze lightly brushed past, bringing a breath of fresh air.
