Seeing everyone was silent, Ma Xiaotao spoke again: "The teacher informed me this morning and asked me to tell you that the competition will be held tomorrow morning at the martial arts arena in the inner courtyard. At that time, all the inner courtyard students including the elders will come to watch."

"Ah!" Meng Qingjia jumped up and down, "Look at us getting beaten up."

"I want to see you get beaten. I am an auxiliary soul master and I don't need to be beaten." Gong Yangmo patted Meng Qingjia's shoulder and said with a strange smile.

Chen Zifeng, who was always silent, said: "So, we can lose, and it's not shameful to lose, but we can't lose too badly. Otherwise, we will be embarrassed in front of all the seniors in the inner courtyard and will be disqualified."

Of course at this time, Zhao Xin, as the captain, had to stand up. Even if he knew he would lose, he could not lose morale. Moreover, he believed that the academy would not give them a test that they could not pass.

"Don't be discouraged, I believe the academy won't make it too difficult for us. As long as we show our best, I believe we will pass the academy's exam. And now that we are all here, let's discuss how to fight. Xiao Tao, did Dean Yan tell you which elder our opponent is?"

With Zhao Xin's words, the anxious faces of the few people improved a little, but they were still worried. Ma Xiaotao glanced at the six people and said, "It's Gong Lao from the Colosseum, the 94th level Beast King Douluo."

"Level 94 is not bad. Fortunately, the academy did not arrange a Super Douluo for us, otherwise we would have raised our hands and surrendered." Zhao Xin made a joke to liven up the atmosphere.

"There's not much hope at level ninety-four!" Gong Yang Mo said dejectedly.

"Okay, stop talking sourly." Zhao Xin gathered everyone together. "Since it's Master Gong, I have some information about him. Master Gong's martial spirit is the Molten Peak Tiger, a high-level martial spirit that mutated from a lava tiger. Originally, the Lava Tiger martial spirit was just a layer of lava armor, but Master Gong's Molten Peak Tiger martial spirit formed a small volcano on the tiger's back, further enhancing his attack and defense capabilities. It was also with this martial spirit that Master Gong earned the title of Beast King."

"Compared to the Lava Tiger Martial Spirit, the Molten Peak Tiger also increases the burst speed of this Martial Spirit. In other words, whether it is attack, defense or speed, Gong Lao ranks among the top among the Titled Douluo of the same level. In short, there is no weakness."

There was dead silence, no one spoke, and everyone was thinking hard about how to win this test. Everything Zhao Xin said was right. Beast King Douluo was good at both offense and defense. How could they seize that chance?

After everyone thought about it for a while, they couldn't think of a good solution. Then Meng Qingjia said, "Luochen, your martial spirit is ice. I wonder if it can be effective against Master Gong?"

Ling Luochen rolled his eyes at him after hearing this. It was too unrealistic for Meng Qingjia to think that he could freeze a Titled Douluo of Fire Attribute with his cultivation as a Soul King. "You're thinking too much." A cold voice interrupted Meng Qingjia's fantasy.

"Ahem, that's right." Meng Qingjia looked at the others awkwardly.

“Perhaps it will all fall on Xiao Tao in the end,” Zhao Xin smacked his lips. “Xiao Tao’s Ultimate Fire has a suppressive effect on fire attributes. Combined with Luo Chen’s Ice, it might be effective.”

"It's a headache." Gong Yangmo was completely frustrated. "We can only wait and see tomorrow. I really can't think of any good solution right now."

"We can only counter each move as it comes." Zhao Xin concluded helplessly.

......

Early in the morning, Poseidon Island suddenly became lively, and the inner courtyard students were all excitedly waiting for today's battle. Many of them who met the requirements had challenged the Shrek Seven Devils before, and although they lost, it did not mean that everyone recognized them. If they wanted to be recognized by others, they must have enough strength.

In front of the dormitory building of the outer courtyard, Mu Lao sat on a recliner with his eyelids half closed. Yesterday he met a very polite boy, and what surprised him even more was that the boy's mental strength was much higher than that of his peers. It seemed that he had a spiritual attribute martial spirit. Shaozhe had received another good seedling!

Old Mu stood up slowly. He had to go back to the inner courtyard today. The competition that would take place later was a big event, and he had to be present.

The sun gradually rose, and the warm sunlight shone on Poseidon Island.

The actual combat site for this assessment is located on a hill about 100 meters high on the east side of Poseidon Island.

The top of the hill seemed to be flattened. Except for the Sea God Pavilion, this was the highest point on the Sea God Island. On the top of the hill was a flat land with a diameter of about 100 meters and an irregular shape. The ground was covered with thick but irregular granite. The thickness of the granite was quite amazing. It was connected to the hill itself and was very solid.

The inner courtyard has its own rules. If anyone destroys the inner courtyard martial arts field, they will be responsible for getting back the granite for repair. Therefore, the inner courtyard students are very careful even when they are practicing here. Generally speaking, they only practice the spirit skills of new people here. If they want to practice freely, they would rather go outside the city.

Of course, this assessment is an exception. You can't let a group of Soul Emperors and Soul Kings hold back against Titled Douluo. The academy has promised to repair any damage, so Zhao Xin and the others can let go and fight.

But today, quite a lot of people gathered here, and at first glance, the red was blinding.

The best seats for watching the battle have been set up in advance for the elders. As for the inner courtyard students, they just need to stand in a circle around the martial arts arena and watch.

When the seven of them arrived at the inner courtyard martial arts arena, the elders had not yet arrived, so they could only idly observe the seniors around them. Since the seven of them were standing relatively close to the edge, they could hear the discussions of the inner courtyard students behind them clearly.

"This year's Shrek Seven Devils can be said to be the strongest one." An old student introduced to the newly promoted first-year inner courtyard students.

"I heard that several people went to challenge him and they all lost." A well-informed student interrupted.

"Junior brother Zhao Xin is still the best looking. It's a pity that Xiao Tao is already with him, otherwise I would have snatched her away." This is what the senior sister who is obsessed with Zhao Xin's appearance is discussing with her bestie.

"Superficial, I think Zhao Xin is the most powerful, but his appearance is just that of a pretty boy." A girl retorted, "What a pity."

Zhao Xin was standing in front, listening to the discussion behind him, with an embarrassed look on his face. Several people beside him covered their mouths and laughed secretly, especially Ma Xiaotao who even said to him, "Oh, Zhao Xin, you are amazing. You have both strength and good looks, so many senior sisters like you."

"Hahaha." Meng Qingjia couldn't help laughing out loud, causing the students behind him to look at him. He quickly pretended to be serious.

Not long after, the elders came in unison. The other elders walked over to their seats and sat down, while Gong Changlong walked to the center of the martial arts arena.

Gong Changlong was tall, about two meters tall according to Zhao Xin's estimation, with a face as red as a date and extremely eye-catching red hair. He looked like an old man with a bad temper. Coupled with his combat uniform today, he brought a great sense of oppression to Zhao Xin and his companions.
