Chapter 7: The inevitable fate.
On the way to the first entrance examination, Bei Bei and Tang Ya also introduced to Huo Yuhao the relevant matters needing attention of Shrek Academy. Naturally, they started with flattery centered around Tang San and using the rainbow fart as the radius.
However, Huo Yuhao also roughly understood that the current Shrek Academy should not have changed because of the weird theories such as the butterfly effect and quantum mechanics that he brought with him.
Thus deviating from the original plot, the current Shrek Academy is still the same Shrek Academy in the original work.
"Fortunately, if something earth-shaking changes, I will need to rethink what to do next. Now it is enough. Let's accumulate strength first and get through the most difficult period of weakness."
Finally, Huo Yuhao and his group arrived at Shrek City and entered from the East Gate. Not far away was Shrek Academy.
Looking at this not-small city, Huo Yuhao did not feel excited at all. After all, he was different from the original owner who had never left the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
After all, we have traveled through time and space. As college students, we have taken high-speed trains, airplanes, and traveled thousands of miles to go to school. The scale of Shrek City is at most a third-tier city.
Moreover, it is not a very developed one. Apart from the city walls used to resist the beast tide and guard the city, which are quite attractive, the so-called prosperity is actually just that in Huo Yuhao's eyes.
"We are finally here, but." Huo Yuhao looked around. Compared with the ordinary city buildings and vendors, Huo Yuhao was more interested in the people in the city.
You know, it was difficult to see so many people when traveling before. With the opening of the Eye of Truth, Huo Yuhao could clearly see the flow of soul power in each person's body and the faint image of their martial soul.
"If you want to study martial spirits in the future, you should find a place with many people to study. It seems that different spirit powers will have different effects on martial spirits. Tang Ya and Bei Bei's spirit powers are similar, but I didn't see that before."
"My own martial spirit has also changed due to the time travel, so it cannot be used as a standard. However, there is a big difference between these civilians with no spirit power and the one-ring spirit masters with a little spirit power."
'The higher the soul power, the more solid and complex the martial soul image will be? And what do these lines and patterns that outline and make up the martial soul represent? I don't have the chance now, I can try it out later.'
"Little Yuhao, what are you looking at? Are you dazzled by the prosperity of Shrek City? Come on, let's go, it's time to report." Tang Ya said with a smile.
"Well, Teacher Little ya, I would like to stay in the city for a while longer, is that okay? I would like to master the Tang Sect's skills first before signing up."
"In this case, maybe I can enter without the Tang Sect's special recruitment quota, and instead go the route of being recommended by the Tang Sect."
"After I enroll, other students won't gossip about me even if my spirit power is relatively weak. And even if I fail, I will only be admitted according to the number of places originally submitted by the Tang Sect."
Hearing this, Tang Ya glanced at Bei Bei, who smiled and nodded, saying, "During this period of time, Junior Brother has made rapid progress in mastering our Tang Sect's unique skills."
"And it's even better that Junior Brother has this intention. The growth of a strong man always requires hardships."
"Big Brother, I have high hopes for you. Teacher Little ya, I will take Yuhao to rent a hotel in the city first."
"With Junior Brother's mastery of the Tang Sect's unique skills, coupled with his martial arts insight, as long as he uses some hidden weapons, he should be able to pass the test smoothly."
Hearing this, Tang Ya nodded, patted her chest and promised: "Leave the hidden weapons to me. Little Yuhao should practice the hidden weapons more these days, and then show your skills in the entrance examination! Let everyone know how powerful our Tang Sect is!"
Bei Bei also had great confidence in Huo Yuhao. After all, in the first and second ring stages, hidden weapons still had a lot of advantages, and Huo Yuhao's insight made it even more powerful.
Although Huo Yuhao's soul power is not strong, but with the hidden weapons allowed to be used in the assessment, his lethality is not inferior to that of an ordinary two-ring great soul master.
This is also the reason why Bei Bei was confident in letting Huo Yuhao participate. Otherwise, if Huo Yuhao was really too weak and embarrassed, even if he could still join through the quota submitted by the Tang Sect, it would only lead to more gossip.
Huo Yuhao followed Beibei to the city and rented a hotel. Beibei also gave Huo Yuhao some gold soul coins for living expenses.
"Junior brother, I have to go back to Shrek Academy to report on my previous trip. I will come to you after I have dealt with the affairs in the academy."
"Take this money and buy some daily necessities for yourself, so as to prepare for schooling later." Beibei said with a smile.
After all, Huo Yuhao had already warned them when he asked them to put away the corpse of the mandragora snake. Since he already knew the poor situation of his new junior brother, as the eldest brother, he would naturally not treat the junior brother badly.
“Okay, Big Brother, I’ll go practice my hidden weapon skills first.” Huo Yuhao said after taking the purse.
Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief only after Bei Bei left, returned to the room and closed the door.
The reason why he had to go through the process to join Shrek Academy was not to preserve the reputation of the Tang Sect, but to delay the enrollment time as much as possible.
After all, he didn't want to be the unlucky one who was assigned to Zhou Yi's class by being the first batch to enter school because of Tang Sect's special channel.
Although he was prepared to make the best of things, Huo Yuhao was not ready to experience the educational approach of the famous teacher Zhou Yi. For him, at this time when he was the most vulnerable, it was naturally most important for him to avoid attracting other people's attention and to stay hidden and develop.
"But even if I pass, I can only have peace in the first academic year. After the freshmen assessment and class division, the control department and the assault department will still be managed by Zhou Yi. It's a headache."
It seems that it is not impossible. Although the auxiliary department is not very good, if it is really not possible, I can just sign up for the sensitive attack department. Anyway, even if the original book says that there are separate classes, there is actually not much difference.'
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao calmed down a little. As for the so-called practice of Tang Sect's unique skills? With the Heavenly Dream brand fully automatic practice device, he naturally didn't need to practice by himself.
Huo Yuhao had memorized all the hidden weapons' methods after he got them for the first time. Through the coordination of his mental power and the Eye of Truth, although his physical strength was a little lacking, he had no problem dealing with the battles between soul masters and great soul masters.
'The entrance examination lasts for three days. With the Tang Sect's recommendation, you can directly bypass the recommendation letter of the first stage and the soul power test and age test of the second stage.'
"The third level is to check the ratio of martial soul and soul skills as well as the ability to control the martial soul. It is not a problem with the Tang Sect as a guarantee."
'The only thing left is the actual combat in the fourth level. Although it shouldn't be too difficult, it's better to prepare. When Beibei comes back, I'll see if I can learn some moves from him and have a sparring match.'
'After all, although I have almost mastered my martial spirit since coming to this world, I have never fought a real battle with anyone.'
Two days passed in a flash. On the second day, Beibei came to the hotel to find Huo Yuhao, and brought a new gift from Tang Ya for Huo Yuhao, a batch of basic hidden weapons produced by the Tang Sect.
And because of Tang San’s connection with Shrek Academy, in all the assessments and competitions of Shrek Academy, unlike soul guides, these mechanically expanded hidden weapons can be used without restrictions.
On the third day, which was also the last day of the entrance examination, Huo Yuhao was brought to Shrek Academy by Beibei. Needless to say, he would be able to pass the first three levels with the Tang Sect as his guarantor.
The fourth level assessment is actual combat, and it requires multi-person cooperation. Every three people are divided into a group, and the assessment is carried out team by team.
Of course, defeating the test subject is not the only way to pass the level. After all, they have to face their seniors in Shrek Academy.
How could this group of people, who only have one ring or at most two rings, possibly do it?
What they have to do is to cooperate with each other, give full play to the advantages of their martial arts as much as possible, and hold on under the attacks of their seniors or ensure that their team can hold on longer.
Although team formation is random, it is not completely random. After all, it is impossible to assign three auxiliary soul masters together.
The longer one can hold on or the better one performs, the higher the score one will get in the end. Only when the comprehensive score of the final four levels is sufficient can one become a member of Shrek Academy.
“Is the original martial soul nothing more than an eye? And the soul skills are also inclined towards auxiliary and agile attack? I see.” A student in charge of registration nodded to Bei Bei who brought Huo Yuhao here and said, “Senior Brother Bei Bei, let this little brother come with me.”
Bei Bei nodded, and Huo Yuhao followed him. Looking at the people waiting in the middle of the field with obvious appearance features, Huo Yuhao vaguely realized that his previous plan might fail.
That is, although Shrek Academy has four entrance stages, the first three stages can be tested as long as you arrive within the enrollment period.
But the fourth level is not like that, except for some privileged forces such as the Tang Sect, the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, or the royal families of the major empires that have close ties with Shrek.
The fourth level for other students was postponed to the third day because they needed to form teams.
"That fat guy should be Xie Huanyue? You can't recognize the others, right? Wait, that pink-haired guy is not... Forget it, I hope God blesses me and doesn't let me be assigned to Zhou Yi's class."
He opened the Eye of Truth, but only observed the soul power of the people around him without conducting any in-depth observation. This was because after a few days of development, Huo Yuhao had almost understood the consumption required to open the Eye of Truth at different levels.
Shallow observation requires almost no mental energy, while deep observation, the more careful and detailed the observation, the more mental energy is required. The next step is the exam, so it is better not to waste time on it.
"Number one, number two, number three, meet up with your team members in a group. You have ten minutes to discuss tactics and prepare for the assessment."
"Number 31, Wang Dong, number 32, Huo Yuhao, and number 33, Zhao Haochen, will form a group and meet up with their team members. They will have ten minutes to discuss tactics and prepare for the assessment."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao sighed helplessly in his heart. He could now guarantee that at this moment, it must be Tang Fozu who was arranging him, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence.
Why did she have to team up with Wang Dong? Moreover, the fact that Miss Wang Dong was able to get the recommendation letter must have been arranged by the Haotian Sect, otherwise she would have no way on her own.
And considering the relationship between Haotian Sect and Shrek Academy, does Wang Dong need to take an entrance exam? Of course he can join without taking an entrance exam, so how could he possibly come to form a team with me?
"Are you my teammates for this entrance exam? Don't hold me back!" said the handsome young man with a delicate face, fair skin, big eyes and neat short hair in a light pink-blue color, looking up proudly.
"Wang Dong, soul power level 21, second ring strong attack system combat soul master."
Hearing this, the fat boy named Zhao Haochen said excitedly: "My name is Zhao Haochen, my martial soul is a big chicken leg, and I am a level 15 auxiliary combat soul master. I'll leave this assessment to you, big brother!"
“Huo Yuhao, soul power level twelfth, temporarily positioned as a quick attack type soul master.” Huo Yuhao said lightly.
"???" Upon hearing this, Wang Dong and Zhao Haochen looked sideways: "Level 12? Isn't the admission standard level 15?"
The little fat man asked in confusion, while Huo Yuhao shrugged and said nothing more.
Huo Yuhao had just broken through to the twelfth level of soul power not long ago, and this was also because his cultivation speed was boosted by the Heavenly Dream brand cultivation aid that ran 24 hours a day.
The result was much faster than the original owner, considering that the original owner was only level 11 at that time.
Hearing this, Wang Dong raised his eyebrows: "Humph, no matter how you got in, don't hold me back, or I'll make you pay!"
“Oh, yes, yes.” Huo Yuhao nodded and responded perfunctorily.
"You!" Although Wang Dong was a little arrogant, he could still understand good and bad words. Huo Yuhao was obviously trying to fool him. Just when he was about to get angry, he heard a voice.
“No. 31 Wang Dong, No. 32 Huo Yuhao, No. 33 Zhao Haochen, prepare to enter the examination!” shouted the Shrek Academy senior who was serving as the examiner.
“Hmph, let’s wait and see.” Wang Dong took the lead and walked towards the examination room, while Huo Yuhao and Zhao Haochen followed closely. Without discussing any tactics, they stepped onto the battlefield of their first battle.
"He Heng'an, a level 45 defensive spirit master, with the spirit of Digging Armor." The examiner for Huo Yuhao and the other two was a tall, handsome man.
"Wang Dong, level 21 strong attack system combat spirit master, spirit: Light Goddess Butterfly!"
“Huo Yuhao, a twelfth-level agility attack-type combat soul master, martial soul: Spirit Eyes.” Huo Yuhao finally reported the name of Spirit Eyes. After all, no matter how cool the name of a martial soul is, it cannot be used to make a living, so it is better to keep it secret.
"Zhao Haochen, level 15 auxiliary combat spirit master, martial spirit: big chicken leg."
I saw another examiner in charge of scoring at the side of the battlefield light a stick of incense, and then the battle officially began!
