"I hope you can go all out this time and show your best strength." Zhou Yi continued after Wang Yan finished speaking, with a cold light flashing in her eyes, "Don't let me see that you are being lazy."
The morning class did not end until the bell rang. After explaining the various precautions for tomorrow's upgrade assessment, Zhou Yi announced the end of school. She asked the students to go back and prepare, adjust their condition to the best, and gather in the beast fighting area tomorrow to take the assessment.
Beast fighting area.
As the largest exclusive area of the entire Shrek Academy and also the largest building of the Shrek Academy, the Beast Fighting Area covers an area as large as all the teaching buildings and dormitory buildings of the Spirit Department plus the Shrek Plaza.
In the entire Douluo Continent, it is extremely rare to be able to raise soul beasts with the power of the academy. It is even more rare to be able to reach the scale of the Shrek Academy's Beast Fighting Zone. Even the royal families of the major empires would not do such a thing. It is not so easy to raise soul beasts in captivity. You have to keep the wildness of soul beasts. At the same time, different soul beasts have different eating habits. You also have to ensure safety, and drive the soul beasts. The investment is so huge that ordinary soul master academies dare not even think about it.
All the tax revenue of Shrek City goes to Shrek Academy every year, and one third of this huge amount of money is invested in the Beast Fighting Area. It is conceivable how high the investment required for this Beast Fighting Area is.
New students generally think that the tuition is expensive, but students who have been to the beast fighting area will not have this feeling. Compared with their tuition, the investment of Shrek Academy is like a firefly and a bright moon.
The Colosseum was a place specially provided for Shrek Academy students to conduct practical training and assessment. At this time, the second-year students were entering the Colosseum one after another, preparing to take their upgrade assessment.
The Colosseum is oval in shape, with a long diameter of 187 meters, a short diameter of 155 meters, and a maximum height of about 57 meters. From the outside, the entire building is divided into four floors, the bottom three floors are arched buildings, and each arch is supported by stone columns on both sides. The fourth floor has wall decorations, and there are four large arches facing the four radii, which are the entrances to the corridors of the Colosseum's internal stands. The stands inside the Colosseum are divided into four groups from low to high. Under special circumstances, Shrek Academy will divide specific areas. The entire project is so huge and spectacular that it can even be described as brilliant and magnificent.
When Zhao Xin walked into the Colosseum, he felt overwhelmed. Even though he was the young patriarch of the Zhao family, he had never been to the Colosseum. He only occasionally heard his father mention that Gong Lao and Zhao Changtian in the Colosseum were close friends regardless of age.
Zhao Xin carefully observed the Colosseum. It could accommodate about 10,000 spectators because more area was used inside the Colosseum. Just like the fighting spirit area, multiple fighting matches could be held here at the same time, or just a single fight could be held. For senior students of the Wuhun Department, this place was not unfamiliar. Students with high cultivation were willing to come here to practice their practical skills, but for students with lower cultivation, this place was simply a nightmare.
All second-year students must first receive the upgrade assessment form, which shows their order of appearance. Their scores will also be graded on this form.
After receiving the form, Wang Yan led a group of students into the Colosseum.
Because it was an upgrade assessment, all the students were waiting outside the Colosseum's beast fighting area. This time, Class One and Class Two were assessed at the same time. There were nearly a hundred students in the two classes combined, so the school sent five teachers to protect them. These teachers were responsible for guiding the soul beasts, protecting the students, and assessing and grading. The Colosseum was not divided into areas, so the students had to take the assessment one by one. This also allowed the students to see clearly the strength of each person and warn those who were slacking off. Of course, this would also make it easier for the grading teachers to see more clearly.
The Dean of Studies Du Weilun was also here. He was the chief examiner today. He and two other teachers were on a high platform on one side, from where they could clearly overlook the Colosseum. The remaining two teachers were responsible for protecting the students' safety inside the Colosseum.
Zhao Xin, Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yuheng stood at the front of the class as special assessment candidates of Class 1, Grade 2. Xixi and Ling Luochen stood at the front of Class 2. Zhao Xin greeted them both. Ling Luochen still looked cold, and the female student named Xixi smiled back at Zhao Xin.
Wang Yan whispered to Zhao Xin and the other two, "You've seen the order of the competition. In order to encourage the students, the academy has decided that the class leaders of our two classes will go out first. After one person from our class is assessed, it will be the second class. You guys discuss who will go out first."
Zhao Xin and the other two discussed for a while and decided to let Dai Yueheng go into battle first.
Wang Yan said to Dai Yuheng, "If you are sure, I hope you can choose the highest-level candidates. That way, even if you lose in the end, as long as you persist long enough, your results will not be bad."
At this time, Du Weilun's voice rang out from the high platform, "Let the assessment begin. Class 1 of Grade 2 will send out its students first. Then Class 2 will follow."
Dai Yuheng took his assessment form, stepped out, and walked into the beast fighting area. The fighting spirit in his body was already boiling. As the owner of the White Tiger Martial Spirit, he could better demonstrate the convenience of the King of Beasts Martial Spirit in such a place. He felt that the blood in his body was completely boiling. Perhaps it was because there had been too many battles here. When coming here, every student of Shrek Academy would have a strong desire to fight. Only through actual combat can one truly integrate what they have learned. This is also the meaning of the existence of the Colosseum, and one of the reasons why the students who graduated from Shrek Academy can become excellent soul masters that the major empires compete for after graduation.
He handed the form in his hand to a teacher who was specifically responsible for delivery, and the teacher put it in the promotion and demotion grid under the evaluation platform. Soon, Dai Yuheng's assessment form was in the hands of Director Du Weilun.
Dai Yuheng can be said to be one of the top three strongest freshmen this year, and he is also the eldest son of the Duke of White Tiger. Du Weilun is also interested in him. With the talent and ability shown by Dai Yuheng, the possibility of him becoming a Titled Douluo in the future is greater than 90%, which is almost a foregone conclusion.
Dai Yuheng walked to the center of the venue, with a referee teacher on each side.
The referee on the left asked, "What's your major?"
Dai Yueheng: "Strong attack system."
The chief referee said, "Choose the soul beast you want to test. Remember, the strong attack system should show the word combat as much as possible. There is only one chance to test, so grasp it carefully. The soul beast level is measured in hundreds of years, ranging from one hundred years to the highest one thousand years."
The students of Grade 2 Class 1 and Class 2 all focused on Dai Yuheng. It was the first time for most of them to face a soul beast alone. It would be a lie to say they were not nervous. Naturally, they all hoped to learn from the experience of the students who had taken the test first. The upgrade test was related to whether they could stay in the academy and continue their studies!
Dai Yaoheng opened his tiger eyes and said, "I choose the thousand-year soul beast."
"Millennium Soul Beast, Dai Yuheng, are you sure?" the referee asked again.
"Yes, it is the Millennium Soul Beast."
The referee nodded and said, "We will randomly select a thousand-year soul beast to test you. Are you ready?"
Dai Yuheng nodded, "I'm ready."
The assessment begins. "The referee gestured to the distance, and the sound of a mechanism was heard. A huge iron gate slowly opened in the distance, and the sound of the ground shaking came from the dark corridor. The students who were very surprised before also became quiet. Facing this situation for the first time, they couldn't help but feel an inexplicable pressure in their hearts.
A huge gray-black figure walked out of the passage. Due to its huge body, it did not walk very fast, but this speed brought a great sense of oppression to the students.
