Douluo: Not enough blood? Use your brain

The Spear Soul Spirit was like another person, one born perfectly suited to the spear.

Their insights and understanding were shared.

The efficiency of spear practice would at least double!

“I originally thought I would have to bring you a few more times, or just wait for you to stay in the Spirit Ascension Platform for more than three days.” Xu Shengqun returned to the main topic, smiled wryly, and said to Xu Yuan: “Since you completed the Soul Spirit evolution in one day, then we won’t delay. After you rest for a day, we will go to Shrek City.”

There were only five days left for Shrek's entrance exam.

“Okay.”

A day later.

Xu Yuan, riding in his uncle's mecha, departed from Tianhai City and headed to Shrek City.

That's right, a mecha.

Xu Shengqun owned a black mecha, which was also his daily mode of transportation.

Sitting inside the mecha, Xu Yuan had a unique feeling.

“Tsk tsk tsk, this mecha is quite fun.” Xu Yuan turned his head and said: “Uncle, I have to get a mecha in the future, and it has to be the coolest style.”

“You can, but you have to work hard yourself. Also, all of this must be under the premise of not delaying your normal cultivation.”

“Don’t worry, uncle, I won’t delay my cultivation or Dou Kai production.” Xu Yuan assured.

The flying speed of the Black-grade mecha was extremely fast.

Before Xu Yuan's excitement could wear off, the outline of Shrek City in the distance had already emerged.

Chapter 26 Shrek's Assessment

Xu Yuan didn't forget Mu Ye when he left, and informed him about his application to Shrek.

Mu Ye didn't stop him after knowing this. As a disciple of the Body Sect, entering Shrek Academy to study was acceptable to the Body Sect. There had been similar cases in the past, but not many.

After Xu Yuan left Tianhai City, Mu Ye also left.

“It’s time to go see my eldest disciple…”

Riding in Xu Shengqun's mecha, the two quickly saw the outline of Shrek City.

Shrek City.

It had been two years since he left this place.

“It’s been two years, and I’m back again.” Xu Yuan sat in the mecha, looking at the vaguely visible Shrek City ahead through the screen, a sense of anticipation in his heart.

“You should adjust your state these few days. I can’t conveniently reveal the content of Shrek’s assessment. This in itself is a test for you.” Xu Shengqun stopped at his villa and asked Xu Yuan to start adjusting his state.

“Shrek’s entrance exam is still difficult. You should rest and recuperate these few days and adapt to the state after the Soul Spirit evolution.”

Xu Yuan nodded, without refuting.

He was clear about the process of Shrek's entrance exam. Although it was somewhat vague, he had an impression of the more important aspects, so he wasn't too flustered.

Many of Shrek's assessments test one's true heart, requiring Soul Masters to make choices from the bottom of their hearts. Therefore, many assessments include illusion techniques. Even if some assessment information is known in advance, it will be temporarily blocked by the illusion. Many miscellaneous thoughts will also be guided and ignored by the illusion, causing the examinee to only make answers from the bottom of their heart that are targeted at the assessment content.

Even if you know some exam content in advance, it is actually difficult to make more effective preparations in advance.

What you can do is adjust your state and prepare for the kind of state to welcome battle, that’s all.

The day of Shrek's enrollment soon arrived.

Xu Shengqun only sent Xu Yuan to the entrance of Shrek Academy.

Shrek Academy can also be said to be Shrek's inner city. The entire academy is a city, no smaller than a medium-sized city outside, and the internal facilities are even more complete than a large city.

Strictly speaking, the scope of this inner city belongs to the real Shrek Academy, but the academy is still an academy, and the real teaching area only occupies a small part of the inner city.

But this is already amazing.

Xu Yuan set off on his own from the inner city and, according to what his uncle said, found Spirit Ice Plaza.

At this moment, a large number of young boys and girls had gathered outside Spirit Ice Plaza.

Every three years, Shrek Academy would usher in an enrollment. Although the number of places was limited, there were still a large number of excellent Soul Masters. Each academy could be said to have several recommendation places to come to Shrek to participate in the so-called exam.

Those who truly enter Shrek, every three years, there will be Soul Grandmasters with a minimum Soul Power of twenty-three or four levels, which is not uncommon.

And Soul Masters who can cultivate to the twenty-three or four level before the age of thirteen are not lacking in this era. It can even be said that every intermediate Soul Master academy has the ability to cultivate students of this level.

It's just that the level gap is also extremely obvious.

What is truly rare is the quota for the Inner Court exam, that is, directly applying for the Inner Court. After passing, they can enter Shrek Inner Court as specially recruited disciples for cultivation, and will directly become Inner Court disciples after meeting the Inner Court conditions in the future.

Of course, this ratio is extremely low. There are a total of about one hundred Inner Court application quotas each year, and no more than five can be specially recruited into the Inner Court.

Most of the Inner Court special recruitment quotas are used to guarantee a bottom line, so that even if they fail to pass the special recruitment, they can still enter the Outer Court for cultivation with a lower probability.

The examination location was in the circular building behind Spirit Ice Plaza. The building had six floors and looked very grand and atmospheric, giving people a simple and elegant feeling.

Xu Yuan passed through Spirit Ice Plaza and also saw the many statues standing in the plaza.

The Golden Iron Triangle, the original Shrek Seven Devils, and the Shrek Seven Devils of the era of Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, these were the most conspicuous statues.

Xu Yuan could feel that the statues of the most legendary figures, such as Tang San, also faintly revealed a special artistic conception. He didn't know whether it was the technology at the time of carving, or whether it was that Soul Masters had given them artistic conception blessings, or the result of faith gathering.

Crossing the statue group, the young boys and girls applying around also began to crowd.

Xu Yuan developed very quickly due to cultivation, but after all, he was only seven years old, which was very conspicuous among this group of teenagers around ten years old, attracting the attention of many people.

Arriving in front of the circular building, Xu Yuan waved his hand to indicate.

“Teacher, I am here for the special recruitment exam.”

The person in charge of guiding was a young man. He glanced at Xu Yuan, “Follow me.”

The number of applicants was truly large, so they were entering the building in batches for assessment, but the special recruitment exam could directly follow the batch of examinees to begin.

The young man led Xu Yuan into the building, introducing as he went, "You're very young, couldn't be only seven or eight years old, right? Although there's an age advantage, which will give you bonus points on some assessments, to offset the higher difficulty of the inner court special recruitment exam compared to the ordinary exam, you'll still need to show performance at the level of an ordinary examinee to pass."

Xu Yuan nodded silently, not making any boastful claims.

The young man looked at Xu Yuan in surprise, not expecting such a young child to have such composure.

He led Xu Yuan past two corridors to a circular hall, the dome above adorned with murals.

The hall held a full fifty teenagers, all of whom were currently looking up, their gazes filled with shock and fear.

Xu Yuan also followed their gaze to look at the mural on the wall.

It was a giant black dragon, with a pair of golden eyes, its enormous wings spread wide, its entire body radiating a dark purple halo.

Although it was just a mural, it was vividly lifelike, and most importantly, it actually emanated a substantial pressure, so that anyone who looked at it even once would suffer a dual pressure from both body and spirit.

Dragon's Might!

This was Xu Yuan's first direct experience of Dragon's Might.

Any description in any material was pale and powerless; only by truly experiencing it could one know what kind of terrifying pressure it was.

The reason why Dragon Martial Souls are powerful, the reason why True Dragon Martial Souls have such an insurmountable pressure on lower Dragon Martial Souls, and even have a deterrent effect on non-Dragon Martial Souls, is because of Dragon's Might!

"This is pressure on the will!"

Originating from the spirit, yet not purely spiritual pressure.

Facing the Dragon's Might directly, Xu Yuan's aspirations were high, and the deterrent effect he received was the strongest. His face was slightly pale, and after a slight sway, his body barely stabilized.

Although he was greatly affected, and Xu Yuan even felt that his current state had extremely low resistance, he was not discouraged, but rather breathed a sigh of relief.

There was no so-called pressure from a superior, only pure pressure from power.

Chapter 27 Three-Thousand-Year Earth Demon Rhino

"The dual pressure on both the spirit and body is only limited to this. It's just that compared to the pressure from the strong among soul masters, the pressure of Dragon's Might is more difficult to resist and the deterrence is stronger."

A unique skill of the aura pressure type!

It was very consistent with Xu Yuan's previous definition of Dragon's Might.

The young man looked at Xu Yuan in surprise, never seeing fear in Xu Yuan's eyes. In his observation, Xu Yuan's eyes only initially revealed a kind of shock at the powerful pressure of this Dragon's Might, and he quickly calmed down, mobilizing his soul power and spiritual power to resist the Dragon's Might.

This child's willpower is very strong, and his ambition is not small!

It's just that having high aspirations alone can't make one not show the slightest fear; one also needs to have a strong will to make a performance at this level.

The decisive factor in the initial performance is willpower.

Obviously, Xu Yuan had gained the young man's approval in terms of willpower.

Afterward, it was a contest of soul power and spiritual power.

On this point, the young man also expressed satisfaction.

"The soul power is very condensed, and the spiritual power is also very resilient."

As time passed, the other examinees in the hall had even fallen to the ground one by one, gasping for breath, their eyes filled with shock and fear.

Xu Yuan was still supporting himself, still facing the giant mural in front of him.

Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian!

Just a realistic depiction, plus a drop of blood from him, had such a sense of oppression.

Dragon's Might.

The young man, Wang Hao, was quite surprised, not expecting Xu Yuan to last so long.

Xu Yuan felt his own spiritual power and soul power, and in order to prepare for the next assessment, he did not continue to resist, but shifted his gaze and looked at Wang Hao.

"Under the deterrence of Dragon's Might, you can still control your body. Junior, you're not bad at all." Wang Hao had already begun to call Xu Yuan 'Junior'.

The surrounding students heard this and looked at Xu Yuan one after another, admiring him and also feeling very envious.

What a young little guy.

Clearly, they were just a group of twelve or thirteen-year-old teenagers, but at this moment, after seeing Xu Yuan, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

It was evident how young Xu Yuan was.

"This round counts as full marks for you," Wang Hao said to Xu Yuan.

He was not a dedicated admissions teacher, but rather an inner court disciple who had been pulled over to do some work. From Xu Yuan's performance just now, it could be affirmed that Xu Yuan's talent was already sufficient.

As long as there were no problems with the next round of temperament, it was basically a sure thing.

The outer court teacher in charge of this batch of examinees also looked over in surprise, and couldn't help but look at Wang Hao.

"Senior, I'll take this little junior to the next round first," Wang Hao said to that teacher.

The teachers who taught at Shrek Academy were all disciples who had graduated from the inner court, so Wang Hao called this outer court teacher 'Senior'.

That teacher waved his hand.

These examinees had already been frightened to the ground by Dragon's Might, and their scores had already been given, but they still had to rest here for a while.

"The first assessment is actually about spiritual power. Although the oppression of Dragon's Might also involves soul power, it's clear that spiritual power is the key to resistance."

"Your will is very firm, and you can even control yourself not to look at the mural."

"Actually, the time you lasted, normally speaking, would be enough for full marks, and that doesn't even include the factor of your young age." Wang Hao suddenly realized the problem, patted his head, and then asked Xu Yuan's age: "By the way, Junior, how old are you?"

Xu Yuan looked at the unreliable senior, looking at the other party with questioning eyes.

"Senior, does the score you give count?"

Such an unreliable senior, he should just be a worker, right?

The corners of Wang Hao's mouth twitched.

What kind of talk was that?

"Although I'm not a professional assessment teacher, I've also received professional training."

When encountering a special recruitment candidate, he could also directly conduct a one-on-one assessment, and he still had the power to score.

Of course, that was only limited to the first few rounds.

"By the way, how old are you?"

"Just awakened my martial soul a year ago."
