Chapter 11 Freshman Assessment
"Xiao Tao, do you still remember what happened after you rushed out of Poseidon Lake?"

Ma Xiaotao was a little dazed. "I... don't remember. At the time, all I saw was red, and then I felt a fatal threat. Then I fainted, and when I woke up, I was here."

Yan Shaozhe frowned slightly and came in front of her, saying in a deep voice: "How could you not tell me that you couldn't suppress the evil fire in your body? Do you know that this time it almost caused a disaster?"

Ma Xiaotao was stunned. "I, I didn't know it would be so serious. I thought I could control it. But..."

Yan Shaozhe sighed and said, "The longer you suppress it, the more powerful it will be when it explodes. Xiaotao, from now on, you should put off your training."

Xiao Tao said stubbornly: "No, teacher, I want to practice, I promise, I won't do it again in the future. I can feel that the evil and heat of the evil fire have been completely suppressed. There will definitely be no problems in the short term.

"However, what kind of power is it that can completely suppress my Phoenix Evil Fire?"

After hearing what Ma Xiaotao said, Yan Shaozhe pondered for a moment and said, "I have already asked people to check on those students from the outer courtyard. I originally thought that they would be people sent by their families to protect them."

"But after checking, I found that there is no such possibility. I also checked other people in the academy. It's really strange. There are many students and teachers in the academy who have ice-attribute martial spirits, but they are completely different from the ones you encountered."

Ma Xiaotao asked: "Teacher, what is the name of the student from the outer courtyard?"

Yan Shaozhe paused and said, "The new students from the outer courtyard are Huo Zhanji and Wang Dong."

Xiao Tao said, "Teacher, forget it. Don't check it anymore."

Yan Shaozhe immediately became angry: "How could I not check? If I could find that soul master with the ultimate ice attribute and if he is a male, then he would be a perfect match for you."

"It will dissolve the negative effects of the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Spirit in your body. But now, you are completely restricted. Not only will your cultivation speed decrease, but it may even endanger your life."

Xiao Tao blushed, "I don't want to get married, and I don't want to marry someone I don't like just for my martial spirit."

Yan Shaozhe sighed and said, "The problem is, the evil fire is coming and it can't be suppressed!"

Xiaotao snorted and said: "I will suppress it, I just don't want to get married."

Yan Shaozhe said angrily: "Ma Xiaotao, if you continue to be willful, I will no longer recognize you as my disciple."

Ma Xiaotao said aggrievedly: "But, teacher, I..."

Yan Shaozhe touched her head and said, "Silly girl, you only have one life. No matter what, the teacher will find a good home for you."

……

Three months passed in a flash. During these three months, Huo Zhanji became famous in Shrek Academy for his superb fish-roasting skills.

Both freshmen and senior students got to know them.

Tang Yabei and others also became loyal customers of Xiao Huo's grilled fish. Xu Sanshi seemed to have changed his personality and really stopped bothering Jiang Nannan. He waited at Huo Zhanji's place every day to eat grilled fish. Jiang Nannan finally ate the grilled fish made by Huo Zhanji. She queued up to buy it. After eating it once, she immediately fell in love with the taste and became one of Huo Zhanji's grilled fish loyal customers.

Under Zhou Yi's abnormal guidance, the freshman class can be said to have completely changed. After three months of baptism, only about sixty people were left. Those who were eliminated were not because Huo Zhanji did not want them to stay, but simply because they did not give any effort at all. Even if Huo Zhanji had the intention, he did not have the strength. It seemed to Huo Zhanji that it was not unfair to eliminate those students.

"Today's physical training class is suspended. Three months have passed since the start of school. Next, you will also face the first assessment of Shrek Academy."

"Only by passing this assessment can you officially become a first-year student, truly join Shrek Academy, and become a member of the academy."

"If nothing unexpected happens, at least until the first-year students' graduation assessment, you will all be able to stay in the academy and continue your training."

"The assessment will begin tomorrow. Today I will talk about the key points of the assessment." Zhou Yi glanced at the sixty students below.

"Huo Zhanji stood up."

"Here." Huo Zhanji stood up and took the stack of papers handed to him by Zhou Yi, and quickly distributed them to every student in the class.

"After the freshman assessment is over, we will teach students according to their aptitude. Write down the direction of your future cultivation and give it to me later." The cultivation direction Zhou Yi was referring to was the original classification of soul masters. The cultivation tendencies of soul masters of different categories vary greatly.

"To make a long story short, the freshman assessment is mainly based on combat, and everyone must participate in the combat. You will be divided into teams of three. Each team can have at most one offensive spirit master, and the other two can be assigned at will."

"Finally, let me explain the rules of the assessment. The competition will be conducted by drawing lots. Each team of students will have to fight at least ten battles, and will be ranked according to the number of wins."

"The top sixty-four teams will compete in the elimination rounds. The top three teams in the elimination rounds will receive different rewards from the academy."

"Now we will start dividing into groups. The first group is Huo Zhanji, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao." "The second group is Zi Hao, Ma Qingshuang, and Leng Leng."

"The third group……"

"Okay, that's it. If you have any opinions, please raise them quickly. I'll give you a day to think about it. Hand in all the papers you have, and then you can go home from school."

After handing in the blank papers with their future cultivation preferences written on them, the other students walked out of the classroom and returned to their dormitories.

After leaving the classroom, Huo Zhanji heard a mechanical sound in his mind.

[Ding, the system has issued a task. If you win the freshman assessment, you will be rewarded with a soul ring cultivation method. ]

“The age of the soul ring has been increased? That’s a good thing. Wouldn’t it be easy to win the championship?” Huo Zhan Ji said with a smile, then walked towards the dormitory.

……

Outside the east gate of Shrek City, Huo Zhanji's grilled fish business was booming as usual. Wang Dong was responsible for collecting the money. There was an endless stream of customers lining up to buy Huo Zhanji's grilled fish. Although there were many people, fortunately everything was in order. At this moment, a woman in red walked out of the gate. When she came out, the students in front of Huo Zhanji's stall naturally made way for her.

Ma Xiaotao has a slender figure, even a little exaggerated, full and plump, and from top to bottom, she exudes the beauty of youth. However, a red veil covers her face. Her light pink eyes are very charming, but the look revealed in them is extremely cold, forming a strong contrast.

Huo Zhanji naturally recognized the person who came. It was Ma Xiaotao who had gone berserk that day. Ma Xiaotao looked at the busy Huo Zhanji and felt a subtle attraction in her heart.

"Are you freshmen this year?" Ma Xiaotao asked.

Huo Zhanji nodded and said, "Senior sister, what can I do for you?"

Ma Xiaotao nodded and said, "I heard from others that your grilled fish tastes good. I'll come over to taste it."

Ma Xiaotao raised her right hand. On her right index finger, a huge ruby ​​glittered. A handful of gold soul coins appeared in her hand. She handed them to Wang Dong, "Give me a few."

Wang Dong glanced at Huo Zhan Ji and raised his hand to take the gold soul coin.

Huo Zhanji looked at Ma Xiaotao and said, "Grilled fish costs five bronze soul coins each."

Ma Xiaotao said calmly: "Just consider it as a deposit with you for now. If I want to eat it in the future, you don't have to charge me."

"Okay." Huo Zhanji nodded in agreement while grilling the fish carefully.

After a while, the grilled fish was ready, and Huo Zhanji handed it to Ma Xiaotao. Ma Xiaotao took the grilled fish and slowly lifted her veil, revealing her pretty face, and began to eat slowly.

Ma Xiaotao was eating grilled fish while thinking in her heart, could it be that Huo Zhanji was the one who used the ice attribute to suppress her evil fire that day? She came here on purpose, but she didn't expect to encounter such an unexpected surprise as soon as she arrived.

The grilled fish sold very smoothly, and when it was almost over, Beibei and Tang Ya wanted to come over. Xu Sanshi didn't know if it was telepathy, but he came as soon as Beibei arrived. Huo Zhanji took out the prepared stock and treated them to some grilled fish.

Huo Zhan Ji and Wang Dong spent the whole night in cultivation without saying a word. The next morning, after Zhou Yi's grouping yesterday, every three students gathered together and whispered to each other.

Xiaoxiao arrived earlier than them and had been waiting there. When she saw the two people come in, she waved to them hurriedly.

Huo Zhanji and Wang Dong walked over, and the three of them started discussing tactics. Huo Zhanji actually didn't want to discuss it. He thought their strength was there, so they just had to rush forward.

"Bang, bang, bang." Three knocks sounded, and the next moment, the whole class was silent, and you could hear a needle drop.

Zhou Yi stood at the door of the classroom and walked slowly to the podium. "I have already registered the participating teams. The competition officially starts this afternoon. In the ten round-robin matches, you will not meet each other, but only students from other classes. Okay, disperse and gather at the assessment area in the afternoon."

Huo Zhan Ji stretched out his right hand, Xiao Xiao smiled sweetly and put her right hand on it, Wang Dong came over and put his right hand on top.

Huo Zhanji said: "From now on, we are partners, and we have only one goal..."

"We want the championship." The three shouted at the same time.

Shrek Academy has a separate area for the assessment of freshmen, which is located in the north-central part of the Martial Soul Department and adjacent to the Fighting Soul Area. However, compared with the Fighting Soul Area, the Assessment Area is much larger. After all, one is for individual training and the other is for team combat.

Every year, a large number of students from Shrek Academy are eliminated because they cannot pass the assessment for freshmen. Even Huo Zhanji, who traveled through time, understands this situation. Survival of the fittest is an absolute rule in that world. If you don’t have sufficient strength or a strong enough background, how can others respect you?
