Zhao Xin suddenly discovered that Ma Xiaotao, who was fighting with him, was a little distracted at this moment. Without delving into what Ma Xiaotao was thinking, he seized the flaw revealed by Ma Xiaotao and used his second soul skill, the Dragon Bear Claw. Five claw marks flew towards Ma Xiaotao in the air with a hissing sound at an extremely fast speed. Ma Xiaotao was unable to dodge and could only watch the claw marks flying over.
With a "bang," the invigilator appeared in front of Ma Xiaotao and blocked the blow for her. "Ma Xiaotao is eliminated."
Du Weilun walked onto the stage and said, "Now, I declare that the final champion of the freshman competition is the team of Zhao Xin, Chen Zifeng, and Gong Yangmo."
Cheers rang out throughout the assessment area.
Du Weilun continued, "The freshman assessments are all over. Tomorrow morning, a freshman meeting will be held to award prizes to the top three teams, and the first-year students will be divided into classes. Now, please leave in an orderly manner."
Chen Zifeng and Gong Yangmo gave Zhao Xin a big hug. Wang Yan also came down from the platform and stood aside watching the cheering people.
The result of the freshman assessment finals soon spread throughout the college. Zhao Xin, Chen Zifeng and the other two went to Lao Jin's BBQ restaurant for a big meal and then returned to the dormitory to rest.
It was another sunny morning in the morning. Because of the Poseidon Lake on campus, the air in Shrek Academy was not only very fresh but also very humid.
All freshmen who passed the assessment gathered at Shrek Square, waiting for the upcoming class division.
Soon, Du Weilun, director of the Wuhun Department's teaching department, came to the front of the students with a dozen teachers. However, among these teachers, Zhao Xin only knew two. One was naturally their previous class teacher Wang Yan, and the other was Teacher Mark who was invigilating them for the first time. As for the other teachers, he only had some impressions at most.
Du Weilun held a folder in his hand. He glanced at the group of students with a smile and said, "I believe everyone knows that the freshman assessment elimination round has ended and the top three have been decided. Now, I will officially announce it and announce the rewards they will receive. The third place in the freshman assessment is Dai Yuheng's team. The team members are Dai Yuheng, Qian Hao, and Ling Luochen. Step out."
That's right, Dai Yuheng's team, which had been defeated by Zhao Xin and his team in the semi-finals, won the third place. They lost to Zhao Xin's team in the semi-finals, but in the competition for third place, they defeated Meng Qingjia's team which was defeated by Ma Xiaotao and his team.
They were lucky, as Meng Qingjia's team was badly hurt after the battle with Ma Xiaotao, especially Meng Qingjia, the main player, who had not recovered from being burned by Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Flame before he had to fight against Dai Yuheng, the Soul Master. That was why Dai Yuheng's team was able to win easily, otherwise, the outcome of who would win or lose would be uncertain.
Led by Dai Yuheng, the three of them walked out together. It could be seen that there was no excitement on Dai Yuheng's face. He lowered his head slightly, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
All the first-year students applauded loudly. After the elimination round, the number of remaining first-year students was reduced by nearly two-thirds compared to the beginning of the school year.
"Second place, Ma Xiaotao's team. Team members are Ma Xiaotao, Jin Hu, and Xu Bingjin. Step out."
Applause rang out again, and Ma Xiaotao and the other two walked out. Excitement was obvious on the faces of Jin Hu and Xu Bingjin, and even their faces were slightly flushed. After all, with their strength, getting second place was beyond their expectations.
Du Weilun paused for a moment before speaking in a slightly raised voice: "Now, please give a warm round of applause to welcome the final champions of our freshman assessment. They are Team Zhao Xin, and the team members are Zhao Xin, Chen Zifeng, and Gong Yangmo."
Suddenly, the whole audience burst into warm cheers. After hearing this, Zhao Xin's handsome face broke into a brilliant smile, which made Ma Xiaotao blush.
Seeing the three people coming forward, they smiled and motioned them to stand in the middle. Ma Xiaotao looked at Zhao Xin who was standing beside her. Zhao Xin also looked back, and the two pairs of eyes met. After a fierce eye contact, Ma Xiaotao turned her head back and ended the eye contact.
Du Weilun did not notice the two people's small movements, and continued: "Okay, now I will announce the rewards for the top three teams in the freshman assessment. The top three teams will all receive unified rewards from the academy. Everyone can make a request to the academy when they need a spirit ring, and the academy will help them obtain the most suitable spirit ring."
This is a very useful reward. As soon as this was said, the first-year students were surprised and praised. This reward is equivalent to the academy's promise that the next spirit ring of Zhao Xin and the other nine people must be an extreme spirit ring. However, for Zhao Xin, it is not very useful, because Zhao Xin's family will obtain the most suitable spirit ring for him.
Du Weilun continued, "In view of the outstanding performance and undefeated record of the champion Zhao Xin team throughout the competition, the academy has decided to give them a special reward. After the division is over, you can come with me to claim it."
“There are also special rewards. It can’t be soul bones! I remember that in the original book, Huo Yuhao and the others were also rewarded with soul bones.” Zhao Xin thought to himself.
"Okay, you can return to the team."
"The quality of this year's freshmen is better than before. I hope you will keep up the good work. God rewards hard work. No matter how talented you are, you won't get good results without hard work. Our Shrek Academy is the number one soul master academy on the continent. I hope you can graduate smoothly and get excellent results. In view of the emergence of some outstanding freshmen in this year's freshman competition, the academy has specially approved some of them to become core disciples of the outer courtyard. Now I will announce the list."
Shrek Square was suddenly silent. The core disciples would not only appear in the top three teams! Although Du Weilun did not say it, who didn't know that the core disciples of the outer courtyard would receive more resources from the academy? The matter concerned their own interests. These students listened attentively, fearing that their names would be missed.
Du Weilun opened the folder in his hand and read: "Based on the performance of the freshmen in the assessment, the core disciples who finally passed the review are: Zhao Xin, Chen Zifeng, Gong Yangmo, Ma Xiaotao, Jin Hu, Xu Bingjin, Dai Yaoheng, Meng Qingjia, Ling Luochen, Xixi..."
Du Weilun continued, "In view of the fact that some freshmen, although lacking in talent and ability, have also performed well in the freshman assessment, the academy has decided to allow them to temporarily enjoy the treatment of core disciples until the end of this school year. If they can make a breakthrough in the upgrade exam next year, they will be considered for promotion to formal core disciples. The list is as follows: Qian Hao, Tuoba Yan, Ouyang Jian, Li Fei, Mulan..."
Gong Yangmo and Chen Zifeng seemed very excited. After becoming core disciples of the outer courtyard, the academy would allocate more resources to them and they would also get better results in their training.
The next step is to divide the classes. The entire first grade is divided into four classes. Generally, the first class is composed of strong attack and control soul masters. Class two is composed of defense and agility attack soul masters. Class three is auxiliary soul masters. Class four is composed of soul masters and weapon soul masters with various other special attributes including food and healing.
As a strong attack-type soul master, Zhao Xin was assigned to Class 1 with Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng and others. However, Chen Zifeng and Gong Yangmo were separated from him and were assigned to Class 2 and Class 3 respectively.
Almost every grade is divided into classes in this way, but the higher the grade, the smaller the number of students in each class. The elimination rate of Shrek Academy has always been extremely high. Even among the students who can successfully graduate from outside, no more than 50 people are admitted each year.
Next was the introduction of the head teachers of each class. The general head teacher was still Wang Yan, and the other was a young and beautiful female teacher. Through her self-introduction, Zhao Xin learned that she was Zhou Yi, Huo Yuhao’s future head teacher.
