Everyone found their teammates according to Wang Yan's assignment. Seeing that everyone was ready, Wang Yan gave a few more instructions: "The teachers in the academy will send you to the border of the Xingdou Great Forest, where you will enter with your teammates. There are special protection methods on the edge of the assessment area, so you don't have to worry about soul beasts over 5,000 years old entering the assessment area. In addition, I would like to remind you again to avoid soul beasts living in places and don't take the initiative to provoke them. The assessment time is three days. If you don't come out after the time limit, you will be severely deducted."

After Wang Yan finished speaking, the students' originally uneasy expressions gradually relaxed. There was no soul beast that was more than five thousand years old. You students, who were at the level of Soul Master or close to Soul Master, could barely deal with it.

Wang Yan then gave some instructions on how to survive in the wild. Although there will be an invigilator watching over the exam, once the invigilator takes action, it will be judged as a failure. So in order for students to pass, Wang Yan also took this opportunity to impart some of his own experience in survival in the wild.

Wang Yan seemed to feel that it was time to assemble, and said to the students below: "I hope you can cooperate well and achieve good results. Now everyone set off."

A group of students, led by Wang Yan, arrived at Shrek Square. Du Weilun was already waiting for them there. Soon, all the students of the entire grade arrived one after another. Du Weilun looked down and shouted, "Everyone, be quiet. All students follow the teacher to the Star Forest."

A group of people quickly rushed to the Xingdou Great Forest. How important is the assessment! There is no time to delay. At a glance, the Xingdou Great Forest is full of towering trees, and weeds are growing on the ground, but there are a few paths that people have walked on. All the students were led to a wooden sign, which read "Fifty miles ahead, you will enter the Xingdou Great Forest. There are soul beasts. Be careful."

Du Weilun walked in front of all the students and clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention: "We can only send you here. I wish you can achieve good results in the future. Now I declare that the assessment begins."

The students entered the Xingdou Great Forest one after another. The Xingdou Great Forest was so huge that even if only a small area was demarcated, the scope was still very large. Hundreds of students entered this huge forest and soon dispersed. The air in the forest was fresh and had a strong breath of life. In addition to being cool, it seemed to have a special solemnity. The Xingdou Great Forest was like a soul beast with its mouth wide open, waiting for a young life to enter.

..........

When Du Weilun led the third-year students to the Xingdou Great Forest for the assessment, Zhao Xin and his three companions came to the fighting arena under the leadership of Wang Yan. Before Zhao Xin and his four companions came, the students from the other classes who were taking the special assessment had already arrived at the fighting arena in advance under the leadership of their respective class teachers. Zhao Xin and his four companions were the last to arrive.

The person presiding over the assessment was Li Mingxuan, deputy director of the External Academy. He walked to the front of all the students holding a folder and said, "Let me introduce the rules of the special assessment. Each of you will fight against senior students. The auxiliary spirit masters will be assessed in teams of two. I hope that every student can take it seriously. When you encounter an opponent that you cannot defeat, it doesn't matter if you lose, just try your best. The scoring is mainly based on your combat skills and the use of spirit skills, not on winning or losing."

Du Weilun had already said these words before, but the students below who should be nervous were still nervous and just couldn't relax.

Li Mingxuan continued, "The first place in the assessment is Zhao Xin."

Zhao Xin walked onto the stage with a blank expression. Opposite him was a boy in a fiery red school uniform with an ordinary appearance. The students in the audience saw Zhao Xin's opponent and started to discuss it. The red school uniform represented the inner courtyard students, and Zhao Xin was only a third-year student. How could he beat him? Moreover, if their next opponent was also an inner courtyard senior, they would just admit defeat.

Li Mingxuan seemed to see the confusion of the students: "Student Zhao Xin's assessment is specific to the academy. I believe that the students also know that he is already a Soul Master, so the academy let the inner courtyard students to assess him. The opponents of the other students will still be the senior students of the outer courtyard."

The students in the audience gradually quieted down after hearing Li Mingxuan's explanation, but they looked at Zhao Xin with a little bit of enthusiasm and admiration. While everyone was still challenging the seniors from the outer courtyard, Zhao Xin was already able to fight with the seniors from the inner courtyard, which made everyone admire him but also a little bitter, wishing that it was him who was standing on the stage.

"Inner courtyard, Ryan, the unicorn thunder wolf, a level 52 agility attack war soul king, please give me your guidance." The ordinary-looking man said to Zhao Xin.

"Outer courtyard, Zhao Xin, Long Xiong, a level 46 strong attack-type fighting soul sect, please give me your guidance." Zhao Xin replied, but in his mind he recalled Ryan's origin - the Barut family.

The Barut Family is a hidden family in the Douling Empire. The family became famous in the war that broke out when the Douluo Continent and the Sun and Moon Continent collided. In that battle, the patriarch of the Barut Family, Lin Hu Barut, faced three Titled Douluos at the border of the Douling Empire. He fought one against three, and two died and one was seriously injured, becoming famous all over the world. Later, the Barut Family developed into a famous wealthy family in the Douling Empire.

Ryan's martial spirit is the unicorn thunder wolf, a high-level beast-shaped martial spirit that can be used for both strong and agile attacks. It is a very good martial spirit. The current patriarch of the family is a level 95 Titled Douluo, named Thunder Wolf, which is also the title of the Barut patriarchs of all generations.

An invigilator came over from the back and said in a deep voice: "The test begins, open your martial spirit."

Lightning flashed on Ryan's right arm. His hands turned into wolf claws. Purple hair appeared all over his body. A wolf tail swayed left and right behind him. The most eye-catching thing was the horn on Ryan's forehead. This was the reason why the horn wolf was named. It was also the medium used by the horn wolf to control lightning. Two yellow, two purple, and one black soul rings moved up and down on his body. A fierce aura slowly emanated from his body.

Zhao Xin watched as Ryan released the One-Horned Thunder Wolf Martial Spirit. He could no longer suppress his fighting spirit. He stepped forward with his left foot, and a roar like a dragon or a bear came out of Zhao Xin's mouth. A dark golden light flashed, and an aura even more violent than Ryan's appeared on Zhao Xin. Zhao Xin's appearance had changed drastically at this time. Dark golden dragon scales covered Zhao Xin's entire body, and his claws ejected a three-foot-long sharp blade.

With the possession of the Dragon Bear Martial Spirit, four soul rings appeared on Zhao Xin's body, one yellow, two purple, and one black.

When Zhao Xin's dragon-bear spirit appeared, Ryan felt an inexplicable pressure, which came from the suppression of the spirit. Although Zhao Xin was the first one who was missing a spirit ring, Ryan still took the lead in launching an attack: "First spirit skill, Thunder Wolf Claw." The lightning on Ryan's body slowly wrapped around his claws, and several claw shadows flew towards Zhao Xin.

Zhao Xin was wrapped in yellow armor, and he smashed the claws flying over with a few "brush" strokes. Even the lightning attached to it only splashed a few sparks on the armor. Ryan did not expect to defeat Zhao Xin with his first soul skill. This first soul skill was mainly for testing. Seeing the armor that just appeared on Zhao Xin, Ryan was also secretly amazed. It was the same first soul skill, but it did not cause any damage to the armor.

The distance between the two was very close, and Zhao Xin's claws grabbed Ryan from the left and right.

"Can Zhao Xin win? He's facing the inner courtyard soul king." Dai Yuheng saw that Ryan's confidence in Zhao Xin was also shaken. If Zhao Xin was facing a senior from the outer courtyard, he had no doubt that Zhao Xin would win in the end, but facing a student from the inner courtyard, the result became confusing.

"I believe in him." Ma Xiaotao didn't say much, but just one sentence showed her confidence in Zhao Xin.
