Everyone's gaze fell upon Ning Tian and Wu Feng; they looked like students, were they from the inner court?
"You've arrived. These two are the new students participating in the entrance exam this time."
Ye Zhi said briefly, introducing them.
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned; after all, hadn't the entrance exam already ended long ago?
Especially Wang Dong'er; she still remembered how Da Ming and Er Ming had made her enroll, which had caused a series of misunderstandings.
"The entrance exam had indeed already ended, but considering a special connection, I gave them a chance to test, and you all are the examiners for this test."
Ye Zhi looked at the seven of them.
"We are acting as examiners?"
Huo Yuhao and the others looked at each other, pointing at themselves.
"That's right." Lin Zhi nodded and began to announce the rules. "Ning Tian, Wu Feng. The rules for the upcoming test are very simple."
"You need to choose two people from the seven of them to serve as your opponents."
"Normally, according to the rules, it should be a one-on-one assessment, but considering that you, Ning Tian, are a support system Spirit Master without independent combat capabilities, we are making an exception this time, changing it to a two-on-two team battle."
Lin Zhi held up a finger: "As long as you can persist for five minutes without being defeated under their combined attack, you will pass the assessment and receive a passing score of 6 points."
"If you are able to defeat them, you can receive full marks."
"The seven of them have only been enrolled for a little over half a month."
"The opportunity has already been given to you; how you choose is up to you."
Only enrolled for half a month?
Hearing this, Ning Tian and Wu Feng, who had been somewhat apprehensive, instantly had their eyes light up.
The two looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
New students who had only been enrolled for half a month—wouldn't that mean they were about the same as them? Or perhaps even worse?
One must know, although the two of them had taken a detour before, they were top-tier geniuses at that Counterfeit Shrek Academy, and their Spirit Power levels were definitely among the best of their peers.
"Since it's two-on-two..."
Wu Feng's fiery red eyes began to size up Huo Yuhao and the seven others.
Her gaze first fell upon Tang Wulin, who was standing at the very front.
At this moment, Tang Wulin was so hungry he was famished because he had just had a big fight in the Soul Beast Tower.
He was drooping his head, his eyes dull, a trace of drool even hanging from the corner of his mouth, and he was muttering things like "buns... feast..." under his breath.
Wu Feng felt that Tang Wulin should be easy to fight; he looked so dazed.
Her gaze shifted, landing on Xiao Xiao, who had a petite figure, and Xu Xiaoyan, who looked weak and delicate with an innocent face.
"These two also look like they'd be easy to bully..."
Although bullying the weak wasn't good, the two of them really wanted to enroll too much, so it was best to choose the weak ones, otherwise it would be terrible if they didn't get enough points.
Just as Wu Feng was still struggling with who to choose, Ning Tian at the side had already made a decision.
"Teacher Ye."
Ning Tian stepped forward, pointed at Huo Yuhao and Xi'er, and said with a firm tone:
"We choose those two."
"Oh?"
"Are you sure?"
Ye Zhi confirmed again.
"Sure."
Ning Tian nodded.
"Good."
Lin Zhi clapped her hands, signaling the others to disperse and leave the open space in the center of the hall as the battlefield.
"Huo Yuhao, Xi'er, step forward."
"Yes."
The two stepped out in response.
Just as both sides set up their stances, preparing to fight.
Ye Zhi suddenly seemed to remember something, turned her head, looked at Huo Yuhao and Xi'er, and a smile appeared on her face that was so bright it made people's spines chill.
"By the way, I have a necessary reminder for you."
"Since this is a practical test, it is meant to test the limits of the new students."
"Therefore..."
"You two must give me your full effort."
"If I discover that you have any behavior of holding back, or if you lose to these two students who haven't even enrolled yet..."
"Then, as punishment."
"For the next week, all the windows in the cafeteria will not be open to the seven of you."
"What?!"
As soon as these words were said, Huo Yuhao and Xi'er didn't react much, but Tang Wulin, who was standing on the sidelines, shuddered violently, and his whole body was about to jump up.
"Stop... stop the meals for a week?!"
Tang Wulin widened his eyes, his face full of terror.
"This is simply more uncomfortable than killing me!"
"Yuhao! Xi'er! You must not lose!"
"If we really get cut off from meals, people will die!"
For the students of this academy, the meals in the cafeteria were not just about filling their stomachs; they were top-tier resources that contained massive energy and could assist in cultivation!
If they were cut off for a week, not only would they have to endure hunger, but their physical strength and cultivation progress would definitely be left far behind by others!
This was simply torture!
"Rest assured, Teacher."
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, locked his gaze on the opposite Ning Tian and Wu Feng, and spoke in a serious tone.
"I will definitely go all out."
Xi'er didn't speak, just silently gripped the scythe Spirit in her hand, a flash of light passing through her red eyes.
"Both sides state your names!"
"Ning Tian, Level 27 support system Battle Spirit Master!"
Ning Tian spoke first, a light flashed in her hand, and that exquisite Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared in her hand, with two yellow Spirit Rings pulsing.
"Wu Feng, Level 22 Attack System Battle Spirit Master!"
Wu Feng also proudly lifted her chin, her body instantly transformed into a dragon, her left hand turned into a dragon claw, and two yellow Spirit Rings rose under her feet.
Hearing the levels of the two, Xie Xie and the others on the sidelines were all calm.
However, for Ning Tian and Wu Feng, this was the source of their confidence.
"Huo Yuhao, Level 20 control system Battle Spirit Master."
"Xi'er, Level 20 Attack System Battle Spirit Master."
Hearing the introduction of these two, Wu Feng's eyes instantly lit up, almost unable to hold back a laugh.
They had actually just entered the second ring; they were sure to win now!
Ning Tian also breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed her choice was correct.
"The match begins!"
Following Lin Zhi's order, the battle exploded instantly.
Ning Tian reacted extremely quickly, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in her hand instantly shone brightly.
"Seven Treasures turn out, there is glaze!"
"The first says: Power!""The second says: Speed!"
Two rays of colorful light accurately landed on Wu Feng.
Wu Feng only felt the power in her body surge, her body as light as a swallow, the whole person like an arrow leaving the string, carrying scorching dragon flames, rushing straight towards Huo Yuhao!
Watching the aggressively charging Wu Feng, Huo Yuhao stood in place, motionless, not even blinking an eyelid.
In the depths of his eyes, a touch of golden light quietly emerged.
"First Spirit Skill: Spiritual Detection Sharing!"
An invisible spiritual network instantly connected to Xi'er beside him.
In Xi'er's vision, the originally extremely fast Wu Feng's movements instantly became slow, every flaw clearly visible.
The Spirit Ring under Huo Yuhao's feet lit up.
One yellow, one purple!
When that deep purple light appeared under Huo Yuhao's feet, Wu Feng, who had been charging with a confident face, saw her pupils shrink into pinpoints.
"Purple... a purple second Spirit Ring?!"
"How is this possible?!"
Before she could react, Huo Yuhao's second Spirit skill had already been activated.
"Second Spirit Skill: Spiritual Weakness!"
Hum—A strange wave instantly enveloped Wu Feng and the Ning Tian behind her.
"Ugh!" Ning Tian only felt a sharp pain in her brain, and the light of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in her hand instantly dimmed a bit.
And Wu Feng, who bore the brunt, felt her body sink suddenly; her originally fierce offensive stalled instantly, her strength was weakened, and her attack speed also slowed down!
"Damn! What kind of Spirit skill is this?!"
Wu Feng was terrified in her heart.
Just at this moment, a black figure appeared at her side like a ghost.
It was Xi'er!
Under Xi'er's feet, two Spirit Rings, one yellow and one purple, also rose!
"Another... another thousand-year second ring?!"
At this moment, Wu Feng and Ning Tian's worldview completely collapsed.
These two people who looked the weakest actually all had thousand-year second rings?!
"Second Spirit Skill: Shadow Scythe Attack!"
The scythe in Xi'er's hand drew a pitch-black arc, carrying a heart-palpitating aura, and under the guidance of Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection, it slashed towards Wu Feng with extreme precision.
"Bang!"
Wu Feng was blown away directly by this blow, falling heavily to the ground, sliding several meters before stopping.
"Wu Feng!"
Ning Tian exclaimed, just wanting to lend a helping hand.
Swish!
A cold scythe blade had already silently been placed against her neck.
Xi'er's figure had appeared behind her through Shadow Blink before she knew it, her voice cold.
"You lost."
From the beginning of the battle to the end, it was not even a minute.
The originally confident Ning Tian and Wu Feng were instantly killed just like that, with no power to fight back.
"This... this is over?"
Ning Tian stared blankly at the scythe on her neck, then looked at Wu Feng who was struggling to get up in the distance, and was completely stunned.
This is... a new student who has only been enrolled for half a month?
This is... the strength of Level 20?
These are monsters!
"I accept your concession."
