Chapter 115 The Examination at Mingde Hall (2)
Regarding the third aspect of soul tool production, at least the design provided by the other party was reasonable. It belonged to the more complex category of level four soul tools. Complexity is one thing, but difficulty is another.
However, this kind of design does not take too much time; it only requires drawing the array and making it.
However, the design provided by the other party was incomplete, and the missing part needed to be filled in by the participants and those being assessed. The third assessment was a great test of their knowledge of soul guidance.
The third and fourth items are limited to one day. During this day, unless the examinee gives up the assessment, leaving will be considered a failure!
The design provided by the other party was not a war machine suitable for warfare. This thing was more like a mechanical arm claw used in construction, but the way it operated was not so smooth.
After two months of intensive study, Su Yu has now completed his knowledge accumulation. Moreover, during his six months at Shrek Academy, he has been working hard and can now handle a level four soul tool without any problems.
After eight hours of completing the design drawings and production process, Su Yu officially became a student of Mingde Hall.
After confirmation by the invigilators, Su Yu was officially granted the status of a formal student of Mingde Hall.
"Congratulations on passing the assessment and officially becoming a student of Mingde Hall. However, I must also remind you that Mingde Hall is not like the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy. Here, there is only fierce competition, and people are eliminated every day!"
After speaking, he handed Su Yu a gold badge, a brand-new school uniform, and a new identity card. The badge had four dazzling gold stars on it, signifying that from today onwards, Su Yu would officially become one of the students of Mingde Hall.
Instead of the interns who could only learn briefly in Mingde Hall, this also meant that he would be alone here for a long time.
Unlike Huo Yuhao, who received compensation from Jing Hongchen, Su Yu was assigned to a location far from the location of Experiment Subject No. 1 and the Snow Emperor's embryo.
In Experiment Zone 4, at Experiment Table 4129, the person in charge of assessing and guiding him was an elderly man. Su Yu was not the only person gathered here. After careful observation, it was found that there were two experimental tables, each about five meters long and three meters wide, with five seats on each table.
"Here, let me first give a brief self-introduction. My name is Monroe, and I have been working at Mingde Hall for over twenty years. I will be responsible for guiding your studies from now on. I will conduct assessments for you every month, and Mingde Hall will arrange for an eighth-level Soul Master to give you a lesson every month. So please cherish this hard-won opportunity."
Monroe's body was slightly hunched, but his expression remained exceptionally serious. "If you fail the assessment, you will face a second assessment. If you fail even the second retake, you will be eliminated and become interns again!"
This old man named Monroe had clearly reached his limit in terms of development, otherwise he wouldn't have come to Mingde Hall to be a teacher.
Having taught for many years, the old man was still quite strict in his teaching. Su Yu was considered to have performed well. Whether it was asking questions about soul guidance knowledge or dealing with problems encountered in soul guidance production, Su Yu completely dominated this group of kids!
Knowing this had taken even the old Monroe by surprise, it wasn't until just before the end of get out of class that he slowly asked, "Whose student are you?"
"I am Professor Xuan Ziwen's student," Su Yu replied quietly, looking at Monroe.
Monroe said with a look of sudden realization, "No wonder your foundation is much weaker than others. The students taught by Xuan Ziwen are indeed different. You must study hard in the future and not tarnish the reputation of your teacher, Xuan."
Monroe's get out of class was over, but the subsequent learning tasks remained incredibly heavy. Rather than being indifferent to human relationships, it was more like a clear hierarchy, with everyone focusing on their research topics and completing their tasks.
When Su Yu finished his research task, it was already evening. This was after Su Yu had finished at the fastest speed in his class before leaving. It was unknown how long it would take for the others to finish.
Under such a rigorous environment, it is only a matter of time before qualified and promising Soul Masters are selected.
In fact, the more rigid the system is established under certain conditions, the more conducive it is to the operation of a group. Without constraints, everything will fall into disarray.
When Su Yu returned to his dormitory, he found that his belongings had been touched. Su Yu could guess who it was. Besides Mingdetang, who else would be so strict in screening a person?
Who would have guessed that the seemingly unremarkable white ring was actually a storage ring made of a priceless sapphire crystal?
It's like how a rich person wearing glass will be mistaken for a gemstone, while a poor person wearing gemstones will only be mistaken for glass.
This is a typical example of habitual thinking. In reality, they would never have guessed that the Shrek Academy's promising young talent, whom they valued so highly, was right under their noses, and had even joined the Mingde Hall...
Not to mention Mingde Hall, even Shrek Academy would never have guessed that Su Yu, who was recalled by his family, would do such a crazy thing. Anyway, Su Xinyuan is backing up the academy.
If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. If things really can't be kept secret and something bad happens, Su Xinyuan will be skinned alive by his own mother.
Fortunately, the people searching were quite conscientious and didn't touch anything. They just scanned the area with their mental energy, and all Su Yu could detect was the faint residual mental energy.
That's how people are. When you can't find any suspicion, or even when you're completely unrelated to the main things, you'll be ignored, and they won't even associate you with what they care about.
When dealing with the Sea God Pavilion, Su Yu had already come up with a brilliant strategy, with multiple repetitive and convincing events overlapping each other. What seemed like a coincidence was actually inevitable.
This kind of military strategy was something our ancestors on Earth had already mastered thousands of years ago. If anyone else dared to use it, it would just be a case of youthful recklessness.
The studies at Mingde Hall are far more difficult than those at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, but the benefits are also the most direct.
Although the materials were limited, the Soul Master who gave the lecture was an eighth-level Soul Master, and the quality of his teaching content was incredibly high.
Many questions about soul guidance were easily resolved under his explanation. The purpose of this lesson was not teaching, but resolving doubts. The more difficult the questions one encountered, the greater the benefit of this lesson.
Although he was a core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department, Su Yu had to admit that the teaching at Mingde Hall was far superior to that of the Soul Guidance Department; the two were not even in the same league.
Meanwhile, unusual activity also occurred within Shrek Academy.
Above Shrek Academy stood more than twenty figures, each exuding a powerful aura, one of whom even seemed to be able to contend with Elder Xuan!
Looking at the twenty-odd standing figures, Elder Mu sighed helplessly and slowly said, "In the end, we still attracted them. It seems there's no way to resolve this matter..."
A dragon's roar pierced the sky, and a figure led many elders of the Sea God Pavilion into the sky.
A fierce battle erupted in the air in an instant. Elder Mu, Elder Xuan, Cai Meier, Xian Liner, Yan Shaozhe, and even Qian Duoduo followed Elder Mu's lead and joined the battle.
…………
A day later, as Su Yu emerged from Mingde Hall, he received a message from the Sun Moon Empire Chamber of Commerce.
"Shrek Academy was attacked by evil spirit masters; casualties are unknown!"
Looking at the note in his hand, Su Yu casually burned it to ashes. "It seems that Elder Mu's fate is sealed. Even without Ma Xiaotao's inducing mutation, the evil attribute of her martial soul will eventually attract evil soul masters."
Su Yu's emotions didn't fluctuate much. All he could do now was to master necromancy in a year, otherwise he wouldn't be able to appear at the same time as Luo Yu.
There's only one year left, and time really isn't enough anymore.
Suddenly, Su Yu felt immense pressure...
"I hope the Tang Sect doesn't cause me any trouble, otherwise I'll really have to go back myself. Ugh, so annoying..."
Looking at the soul guide design blueprints in front of him, Su gradually descended into a state of madness.
With the month drawing to a close, Su Yu predicted that at least two people in the ten-person class would be eliminated.
"Today, I'll show you the world and show you what a genius really is. Follow me!"
Monroe led them to an open area in Test Zone One, where Su Yu met a group of freshmen like them, as well as three familiar faces: Meng Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen, and Lin Xi.
"Listen carefully, you won't have many opportunities to interact with your seniors. They've all participated in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. If you're strong enough five years from now, you'll also have the chance to follow them onto the field and win glory for our Sun Moon Empire!"
It has to be said that the Sun Moon Empire has been stuck in the second place for far too long, constantly suppressed. The only time they had a chance was when they encountered a group of overpowered opponents...
This is incredibly frustrating.
However, the most fatal thing was not before, but after Su Yu arrived. What was originally a sure thing in the first match was completely destroyed by Su Yu and Wang Dong's Martial Soul Fusion Skill...
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment...
Actually, before this end-of-month assessment, the plan was to let all the students broaden their horizons. Otherwise, if they had been studying at Mingdetang all this time, they would have really become arrogant and ignorant.
Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen are actually only three or four years older than Su Yu, roughly the same age as third or fourth graders.
But they're different; they have a grandfather who's the head of a branch of the family, so it's hard for them not to keep a low profile.
To pave the way for his grandson, he sold off a large number of soul tools, even selling his possessions, just to buy the Snow Empress's embryo. In the future, he would give his grandson a 100,000-year soul ring. This kind of generosity is unmatched by anyone in the Douluo Continent.
Just as Su Yu's thoughts were wandering, Xiao Hongchen slowly spoke, "I know you are all official students who have passed the assessment, but I can still tell you here today that your strength is not strong enough!"
What followed was a lecture, with people saying that these guys weren't all that strong after all...
Given Xiao Hongchen's personality, doing this would be completely natural for him. Coupled with his arrogant and haughty demeanor, even Su Yu would admit his inferiority in acting skills...
"So, what does the senior consider to be strong?"
There are troublemakers everywhere. Every person who gets into Mingde Hall is proud and arrogant. This guy in front of you gave him a good scolding right away. No one would be convinced.
"Mingdetang only values strength! And only believes in strength. You defeated me, so you have the right to speak!"
Xiao Hongchen looked at the fourth-level Soul Master who had spoken with disdain, showing him no mercy whatsoever.
It was precisely these harsh words that angered many people present, and some immediately challenged Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, the siblings.
However, with their mediocre skills, before Xiao Hongchen could even make a move, they were beaten so badly by the beautiful Meng Hongchen that they cried for their parents and were left with no temper left.
With a "let's watch the show" mentality, Su Yu sat quietly to the side, looking at the group of people lying haphazardly on the field. He could only sigh that they had brought this upon themselves...
When everyone had stopped challenging him, Su Yu slowly got up, walked through the crowd, and headed towards where Xiao Hongchen was.
As Su Yu stepped onto the stage, Xiao Hongchen looked at him disdainfully and said, "What, another one who overestimates themselves and comes to challenge me?"
Su Yu nodded and said, "Fourth-level Soul Master Luo Yu, please enlighten me!"
She faced off against Meng Hongchen again. Clearly, the previous students posed little threat to her, and she defeated them with minimal effort.
This also highlights the difference between these reserve team members and ordinary students. In the past, Su Yu might not have been her match, but now that Su Yu is level 41, he dares to say that he is invincible even if his opponent is level 61.
After all, his fourth spirit ring is ten thousand years old, and the spirit skill of his fourth spirit ring is even more heaven-defying. In terms of physical strength, he has now truly broken through to the Spirit Emperor level. Even Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng cannot surpass him in physical fitness now.
Although many current methods are unusable, at least the soul tool is still unrestricted. It can at least be used to test how much strength one can unleash if one cannot use a martial soul and relies solely on the soul tool.
Meng Hongchen on the other side was not careless either. She raised her hands and simultaneously drew a semi-circle outwards, pushing them towards Su Yu's direction.
