Mu Xuhui was not to be outdone, and directly used his sixth soul skill. The light of the ancient green blade became brighter, and he blocked Wang Dengke's attack by slashing left and right.
While the two were fighting fiercely, Xiang Zeen finally got the chance to eliminate Xie Yun.
Chen Zifeng's Soul-Chasing Sword constantly harassed Yu Yihao. Although Jin Lingyu's Purple Shield had amazing defensive power, it was too heavy and was pinned down by Zhao Xin and Dai Yaoheng. In the end, Jin Lingyu and Yu Yihao were both eliminated, and Mu Xuhui was the only one left in his team.
"Are you admitting defeat?" Wang Dengke asked Mu Xuhui with a smile. He was very happy at this moment. Fortunately, he chose Zhao Xin. If it weren't for his sudden outburst that eliminated Gong Yangmo and Ma Xiaotao, the outcome of the battle might have been uncertain.
Mu Xuhui's face looked a little ugly, not because he lost, but because he lost too miserably. Not a single player from the other side was eliminated, and his side was crushed in all aspects.
Elder Xuan looked at the situation and said, "Okay, let's end it. Mu Xuhui, your team lost."
Looking at Xie Yun who looked unwilling, Elder Xuan chuckled and said, "Mu Xuhui, your team will cook tonight. It's settled."
"Yes, Master Xuan."
Old Xuan gnawed on a chicken leg, picked up his wine gourd and left. Before he left, he left a message: "See you in the woods behind the outer courtyard tonight."
Zhao Xin really didn't expect that Master Xuan would choose the grove where they often gathered, but it was indeed a good place.
Seeing that Master Xuan had left, Xie Yun rushed over and shouted, "Young Master Zhao Xin, you are quite amazing!"
"The inner courtyard is where the hidden dragons and crouching tigers are." Zhao Xin said.
"You are right." Wang Dengke said proudly, "You will know when you enter the inner courtyard. The inner courtyard is the core of the academy."
Yes! Inner courtyard!
Every year, students graduating from junior colleges on the mainland want to enter Shrek Academy, but only a few hundred succeed.
After these hundreds of people enter the first grade, they will go through assessments again and again, from the first grade to the sixth grade, and perhaps only half of them will stay. Among this half, there are about twenty people who are qualified to take the inner courtyard assessment, and only less than ten people will eventually succeed in entering the inner courtyard. The inner courtyard rarely increases the number of places.
It is so difficult to enter the inner courtyard, so you can imagine how outstanding the students there are.
Dai Yaoheng asked: "Is the inner courtyard assessment really that difficult?"
Mu Xuhui nodded and said, "It is indeed difficult, but it is not something you need to consider right now. You just need to study and practice diligently every day. With your talent, you don't have to worry."
"That's right. You still have several years to go before you take the inner court exam. Why are you worried now?" Xie Yun continued, "You should be worried about what you're going to eat in the evening."
Zhao Xin and his companions widened their eyes. Could it be that the inner courtyard students didn’t know how to cook? What would they eat in the evening?
"Well, don't you all know how to cook?" Gong Yangmo asked.
"I'm only in the third grade now, so of course I don't know how to cook." Ma Xiaotao retorted with a red face.
Mu Xuhui smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about it. Let our seniors from the inner courtyard take care of the cooking."
Wang Dengke laughed and said, "Xie Yun's cooking skills are very good. He is the best cook among us. You don't have to worry."
Mu Xuhui and his companions left to prepare the ingredients for dinner, while Wang Dengke and his companions sent Zhao Xin and his companions back.
It is still afternoon, and because they have to receive training from Master Xuan in preparation for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, the academy has approved that they don't have to attend classes outside now, which means that they are a bit idle now.
"Brother Xin, what are we going to do later?" Chen Zifeng asked excitedly. He finally had some time to rest, and with Chen Zifeng's personality, he naturally wanted to take this opportunity to go out and play. When the training started tomorrow, he would not be so leisurely.
With Zhao Xin's personality, he certainly wouldn't go out to play, and answered very seriously: "I'm going to the Soul Guidance Department to practice forging."
"No way! The official training will start tomorrow, and you don't even relax for a moment." Chen Zifeng suddenly became unhappy and complained to Zhao Xin.
"Practice seriously, isn't that what Master Xuan said?"
"Well, today we played a game with the seniors from that department in this mixed match. I'm really envious. You guys are all so good. But we won pretty easily today. By the way, do you really consider going shopping with Ma Xiaotao?"
Zhao Xin rolled his eyes. "You should take care of yourself first. Haven't you always had feelings for Ling Luochen? I've seen him act cold to everyone."
"Haha." Chen Zifeng yawned and walked in front with some embarrassment.
After they walked for a distance, they separated, one to the left and the other to the right. Chen Zifeng was going back to the dormitory, while Zhao Xin was going to the soul guide experimental area.
"Hey, Zhao Xin, why are you here?" Fan Yu asked in surprise when he saw Zhao Xin walking into the experimental area.
"Our training is over, and we still have some time, so why don't we practice forging?" Zhao Xin replied with a smile.
"You are now a member of the Shrek Academy's reserve team, right?" Although Fan Yu was asking Zhao Xin a question, his tone was full of affirmation.
"Yes." Zhao Xin was not surprised at all. As the future successor of the Soul Guidance Academy, Fan Yu's status was even higher than Du Weilun, so it was normal for him to know such things.
After chatting with Fan Yu for a while, Zhao Xin came to his usual workbench, skillfully lit the fire, burned the metal red, swung his two hammers, and continuously purified the metal in front of him.
"Bang, bang, bang." The sound of the forging hammer hitting metal continued to come from in front of Zhao Xin. The metal on the forging table was slowly shrinking and becoming tougher.
"Huh." Half an hour later, Zhao Xin finished the forging. He could feel that there was only a thin film between him and the Thousand Forgings, but nothing could reach that level.
At first, Zhao Xin thought it was because of his soul power, but later, Zhao Xin gradually realized that what he lacked was a deep understanding of metal. So whenever he had free time, he would come to the soul guidance department to practice, hoping that he would have an inspiration burst one day.
Two hours later, Zhao Xin finished today's forging, said hello to Fan Yu, and left the Soul Guidance Department.
Zhao Xin came to the dormitory and saw Chen Zifeng sleeping on the bed as soon as he opened the door. He strode forward and lifted Chen Zifeng's quilt.
"Ah!" Chen Zifeng was startled and suddenly woke up with a scream.
"You can't pay it back. We're going to the grove soon." Looking at Chen Zifeng who had a terrified face, Zhao Xin said with a sneer.
"What! Hurry up and go." There was another commotion. Chen Zifeng quickly changed his clothes and pulled Zhao Xin to run towards the woods behind the mountain.
At night, in the grove behind the outer courtyard.
It is particularly lively here today. There is a carpet on the ground and a bonfire not far away. There is a pot on top of it with something cooking in it.
Several people in Mu Xuhui's team were very busy, while Wang Dengke and others were sitting on the carpet and eating fruits happily.
"Why haven't Zhao Xin and Chen Zifeng come yet? Where have they been?" Wang Dengke asked while eating grapes.
"It should be soon. Look, they are coming!" Xiang Ze'en said to Wang Dengke, pointing at the two people running towards him.
Mu Ran and Gong Yang Mo arrived not too late, and Xie Yun came over with some snacks. The exquisite snacks were placed in front of everyone, and they looked very good, which made people's appetites grow.
Just as everyone was about to start eating, they saw a flash of light in front of them, and they saw that nearly half of the snacks were gone. Without a second thought, it must be Master Xuan. Fortunately, Xie Yun had already prepared and quickly brought over a few more.
Xie Yun's cooking skills were indeed very good, and the snacks were well received by everyone. After the snacks, cups of colorful juice were served. The juice was made from the juice of four kinds of spiritual fruits: golden round fruit, white square fruit, red flower fruit, and green heart fruit. It tasted sweet and sour and had high nutritional value. Eat some roasted earth dragon meat, and finally have a bowl of mushroom and wild vegetable soup, it's delicious!
Starting from the next day, everyone continued to receive training from Master Xuan. Master Xuan would let them play against each other every day, sometimes making the two teams evenly matched, sometimes making the difference between the two teams too big, and one time Master Xuan even let the seven players of the reserve team play against the seven players of the main team, which was simply unbearable.
