Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another four months have passed and it is time for the Shrek Academy to go on vacation.
Shrek Academy has a one-month holiday every year. This month is certainly not for students to relax or travel. Instead, it is for them to integrate what they have learned in the previous eleven months and practice hard. After the one-month rest period, there will be the entrance examination. Students who fail the entrance examination will be eliminated directly. Therefore, the annual rest period is actually the most difficult and busy time for most students. Who dares to really relax and rest!
Over the past few months, everyone has made tremendous progress, especially Zhao Xin. After using the Soul Boosting Pill and practicing for seven months, he has reached level 39 and is about to break through to level 40. Gong Yang Mo also obtained his third soul ring after taking the Soul Boosting Pill. As for Chen Zifeng, he is a little behind, only reaching level 29, but he is also on the verge of a breakthrough.
At this time, Zhao Xin was taking an important exam in the Soul Guidance Department.
Next to the huge metal table, Fan Yu stood beside Zhao Xin and watched quietly, his hands behind his back, watching very attentively, but still looking a little nervous.
Zhao Xin sat in front of the metal table, holding a round piece of metal about the size of a walnut in his left hand. In his right hand, he held a slender knife and carefully carved on the metal block.
His movements were slow, but his hands were steady, and every drop of the knife was calm and firm.
The metal block was gray-silver in color, emitting a somewhat strange aura. As Zhao Xin carved it with his knife, the complex patterns gradually became clear.
Zhao Xin's expression was extremely focused. He stared for a long time without even blinking. As time passed, his body remained motionless like a sculpture. Only a few fingers controlled the small carving knife, which was slowly engraved with the injection of soul power. Even the rhythm of the engraving did not change at all.
Finally, when Zhao Xin slowly carved the last line and picked out some tiny metal shavings, he stopped. Fan Yu behind him showed a bright smile on his face.
Fan Yu carefully placed the metal block on his left hand and slowly injected soft soul power into it. Suddenly, the metal block emitted a distinct silver light, and the soft halo turned into a beam of light that rose up to a foot high.
"Okay, okay, okay." Fan Yu looked at the block of metal in front of him. From the excitement on his face, one could tell how uneasy he was at the moment.
"Zhao Xin, you are now an official third-level soul master. I have never seen anyone with such talent. Even in the Sun-Moon Empire, no one can reach the level of a third-level soul master from a new student within seven months."
Yes, the piece of metal that Zhao Xin had just engraved was the core of a third-level soul guide. Since he forged that piece of green gold four months ago, Zhao Xin seemed to have the ability to sense metal. Coupled with his spiritual power from two lives as a human, this gave him a talent in engraving soul guide cores that ordinary people could not hope to achieve. That was why he was able to become a third-level soul guide within seven months.
"Yes, this is the result of your seven months of hard work. Zhao Xin, give me the core you have completed, and I will personally make the outer and inner shells for you as a gift for your graduation."
"It's almost holiday time, what are your plans?"
"I will continue to practice when I get home. I feel that my soul power level will soon break through. Once I break through level 40, I will ask my father to take me to hunt for soul rings. I also feel that my forging skills will soon break through the current bottleneck." Zhao Xin thought for a while and replied.
Fan Yu nodded and said, "Your cultivation talent is also top-notch. You should be considered the youngest soul master in Shrek Academy. However, you must not focus on forging all the time. The carving of the soul guide core is the key."
"I understand, Teacher Fanyu. By forging purified metal, I can better carve the core formation. I won't always focus on this." Zhao Xin nodded seriously, but lied to Fanyu. He practiced forging so hard because he had a plan that he was not sure of.
However, Zhao Xin did not understand his own talent for cultivation. Logically speaking, even if he had innate full soul power and a top-notch martial soul with mutations, his cultivation speed would not be so fast. In the end, he could only attribute it to the invisible benefits brought by the time travel, such as his mental power far exceeding that of soul masters of the same level.
"Okay, the holiday is coming soon, let's go back and have a rest today!"
After leaving the Soul Guidance System Experimental Area, it was already dark outside. Today's weather was really not very good. The fine rain was dripping, making people feel a little chilly.
The next morning, Zhao Xin woke up from his bed in the dormitory. Today was the last day of their first grade studies, and tomorrow the External College of Shrek Academy would officially be closed for holiday.
After breakfast, Zhao Xin came to the classroom early. Because the soul guide device was on holiday yesterday, Zhao Xin didn't need to practice making soul guide devices today.
Wang Yan and Zhou Yi came to the classroom together. Wang Yan walked up to the podium, while Zhou Yi walked to the back of the classroom and sat on an empty chair, as if to keep him in check.
"Students, today is the last day of your first grade. The school has not assigned any teaching tasks. I will just say a few words and you can go back and pack your things."
As soon as Wang Yan said this, the whole class cheered. The holiday was about to start, and everyone was eager to go home. Who wouldn’t want to go home to see their loved ones!
Wang Yan smiled and said, "Everyone has worked very hard this year. I can say that it is your efforts that will bring our class a common glory."
"But." At this point, Wang Yan suddenly changed the subject, "Unlike other academies that have final exams every year, we at Shrek Academy do not have final exams. I think everyone knows the reason. The test of whether you can become a qualified second-year student will be held at the beginning of the next school year. Therefore, don't relax at all after you go back. You should even work harder than when you were in the academy during the next month's vacation. Only in this way can you continue to stay in the next school year. I like each and every one of you, and I hope that next school year, we can have no one missing during our regular classes."
"Next, I will tell you some key points of the upgrade assessment. You must remember them. First, it is absolute strength, that is, your soul power. When you are promoted from the first grade to the second grade, all students must reach the soul power of level 20. If you do not have two soul rings during the upgrade assessment, then I suggest that you do not come next school year. No matter how good your performance in other assessments is, it is useless if you cannot reach two rings."
"No one can change the rules of the academy. Therefore, those students who have not reached level 20, you must work hard in the next month, and you must also obtain a spirit ring to prove that your strength has reached the level of a great spirit master. Having two spirit rings does not mean that you will definitely pass the upgrade assessment.
Even Teacher Zhou and I don't know the specific content of the upgrade assessment yet, but it is nothing more than two forms, individual assessment and team assessment. However, the most common assessment in the academy is that each student challenges a hundred-year soul beast alone under the supervision of the teacher. Once the supervising teacher takes action, it means the end of the assessment. This kind of assessment only tests your pure strength. I have also made other things clear. Teacher Zhou and I wish you all a happy holiday. "
After listening to this, the students in Class 1, Grade 1 greeted Wang Yan and Zhou Yi and ran out excitedly.
"Zhao Xin, Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, the three of you stay for a moment." Wang Yan shouted.
