Time passed quickly, and after a few days, the freshman competition was finally about to begin.

This morning, Zhao Xin and Chen Zifeng were still the first to arrive at the classroom. After waiting for a while, the classmates arrived one after another.

Wang Yan walked into the classroom slowly as the bell rang, holding a stack of papers in his hand.

"Okay, students, be quiet," Wang Yan knocked on the blackboard, "Three months have passed since the start of the school year, and you will soon face the first assessment of entering Shrek Academy. Only after passing the assessment can you officially become a first-year student and truly become a member of Shrek Academy. If nothing unexpected happens, you will be able to continue to practice in the academy at least before the first-year graduation exam. The assessment will begin tomorrow, and today I will tell you the key points of the assessment."

Wang Yan glanced at the fifty-odd students below, and was actually very satisfied. The quality of this batch of students might not be any better than the previous ones, but after three months of training, their willpower was definitely better than any class Wang Yan had ever taught. For Wang Yan, this was definitely a pleasant surprise.

“Xin Zhao.”

"Here." Zhao Xin stood up instantly and answered.

Three months later, Zhao Xin admired Wang Yan's teaching ability. Although Wang Yan's own strength was not very strong, and he always gave people a sense of elegance and was not so strong, his research on martial spirits was definitely one of the best in Shrek Academy. He was always able to point out the mistakes of each student and provide correct guidance based on their problems.

Because of this, three months later, all the students in the freshman class have made great progress.

Wang Yan waved to Zhao Xin, and Zhao Xin walked up and handed the stack of papers in Wang Yan's hand to him.

Wang Yan said to the students who received the paper, "After the freshman assessment is over, we will teach them according to their aptitude. Write down the direction of your future cultivation and give it to me later."

The training directions she was referring to were the categories of soul masters, such as attack, defense, control, and assistance. In the first three months of teaching, everyone could be together, but after starting the real first-year study, there would be some distinctions, after all, the training tendencies of different types of soul masters were very different.

Zhao Xin returned to his seat and was the last one to write down his goal. He wrote "Strong Attack Spirit Master" and signed his name. After he finished writing, he glanced at his deskmate Chen Zifeng's goal. He wrote "Agile Attack Spirit Master". As someone with the Soul Chaser Sword Martial Soul, he could find the flaws and kill with one strike, which made him suitable for training to be an Agile Attack Spirit Master.

Wang Yan said to the students below: "You are all students I taught. Although the classes will be re-assigned after the freshman assessment, I hope you will not forget what I taught you. You can hand in the papers in your hands after class. Now I will tell you the key points of the freshman assessment."

Wang Yan turned around and wrote the word "battle" on the blackboard.

"Fighting, yes, that's right. Freshman assessment is about fighting. And everyone has to participate in this battle. I know some of you will say that I am a spirit master of the auxiliary and food departments, why do I have to participate in the battle? I am not wrong, you do have to appear on the battlefield, just like the combat spirit masters. Although Shrek Academy cultivates comprehensive talents, the most important thing is the ability on the battlefield.

In the past three months, I have taught you that with the emergence of soul guides, even if you are an auxiliary or food-type soul master, you can also use soul guides to burst out powerful combat power, but as an auxiliary soul master, how can you seize the opportunity? Therefore, all of you must undergo combat assessments.

Of course, the academy will never let auxiliary spirit masters compete with strong attack spirit masters, so the assessment of freshmen will be conducted in the form of group battles. According to the scale of group battles over the years, this year's team will also be three people. When dividing the team, there can only be one strong attack spirit master at most. The other two team members will be randomly assigned, and the only team of students in the same dormitory will be considered first. I will give you a more reasonable plan for group division later."

"The freshman assessment will be conducted uniformly for the entire grade. Since there are already quite a few students in our academy over the years, only half of them will be able to stay this time. The ranking is based on the points you scored in the battle competition."

Every student listened to Wang Yan's speech attentively. For them, the freshman assessment was the key to whether they would stay. Once they were eliminated, they could only go home. They had worked hard for three months, and no one wanted to be eliminated at this time.

After Wang Yan finished speaking, he began to divide the students into groups. "Group one, Zhao Xin, Chen Zifeng, Gong Yang Mo."

Zhao Xin and the other two stood up and looked at each other. They could all feel the joy in each other's eyes. After all, during the three months, they had become more familiar with each other because of "similar interests" in training, and had more tacit understanding with each other. So the three of them were very happy to be grouped together.

"The second group: Ma Xiaotao, Jin Hu, and Xu Bingjin."

"The third group: Dai Yueheng, Qian Hao, and Ling Luochen."

After Wang Yan announced the groups, every student felt as if a weight had been lifted off their shoulders. Zhao Xin, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but secretly admire Wang Yan's understanding of the students.

"Okay, students, this is how we divide the groups. If you have any opinions, you can tell me. If not, give me your papers and get to know your partners after class."

Zhao Xin and the other two did not return to the dormitory, but went to the grove outside the college to develop a tacit understanding.

Zhao Xin and the other two introduced their soul skills to each other.

Zhao Xin said: "Let me talk about my abilities first. My martial spirit gives me powerful attack and defense power, and can also control my opponents."

After listening to Zhao Xin's introduction, Chen Zifeng said behind him, "My two soul skills increase the sharpness and breaking properties of my martial soul respectively, which can give me extreme attack power in an instant. However, because my martial soul leaves me to attack the opponent, it will still be affected if someone gets close to me."

"Ah, you seem like the legendary Ultimate Flow Soul Master." Gong Yangmo said to Chen Zifeng after listening to his two soul skills, "My soul skills can improve your strength and soul recovery. You should have experienced this in the previous battles."

After listening to everyone's introduction, Zhao Xin assigned tasks to each person.

"Gong Yangmo, you are a support-type soul master. After you go on the field, your martial spirit will be attached to you and fly in the air to assist us."

"Chen Zifeng, you will be responsible for protecting Gong Yangmo. If I confront the opposing spirit master, your spirit can also be used to make a decisive blow."

"And I am responsible for charging straight into the opposing formation and assaulting the opponent."

After the three of them had assigned their tasks and familiarized themselves with their respective spirit skills, they returned to the dormitory to practice.

The whole night was spent in silence, practicing. The next morning, after breakfast, the two of them came to the teaching building. As soon as they entered the classroom, they felt a warm atmosphere.

After Wang Yan’s grouping yesterday, today every three students gathered together, whispering something.

Since Zhao Xin and the other two had already discussed everyone's soul skills yesterday, they just got together to discuss tactics.

"Bang, bang, bang." Three knocks were heard, and the whole class stopped discussing.

Wang Yan was standing on the podium, and had just put away his right hand when he heard the sound of him knocking on the podium.

"I have already reported the participating teams. The competition will officially begin this afternoon. In the ten round-robin matches, you will not meet each other. You will only encounter students from other classes. I hope you can all win the assessment. Go home and gather in the assessment area in the afternoon." After saying that, Wang Yan left.

Gong Yangmo walked out from the side and said, "Let's find a place to practice first. Our cooperation yesterday was not that tacit."
