"It's already very late today, so after breakfast tomorrow morning, go to the wooden cabin where Erlong used to live, I'll talk to Flender and the others, and the test will be conducted there."
Although Grandmaster had his own selfish motives when it came to researching soul master theory and training students, you couldn't deny that Grandmaster was a dedicated theoretical researcher, and a teacher who hoped his students could grow even better.
The question Oscar had raised now was equivalent to opening a new branch in Grandmaster's theoretical research, which had already formed a complete circuit.
As an outstanding theoretical scholar, Grandmaster would be displeased when someone questioned his theories, but he would absolutely never ignore someone who had produced evidence proving that his theories still held more possibilities, much less give up such an opportunity to perfect, or rather expand, his theories.
And as an outstanding teacher, he would not stand by and let his students miss an opportunity to advance further, much less allow his students to risk their lives trying to find the answer to a question simply because it had gone unanswered.
After walking out of Grandmaster's office, Oscar vigorously rubbed his face, although he had been quite confident that Grandmaster wouldn't refuse to help him, the atmosphere in the office just now had still been a little too much for Oscar to handle. Fortunately, the final result was good, Oscar no longer needed to agonize over the age limit of his soul ring.
After returning to the dormitory, Oscar immediately washed up and then lay down on the bed to rest. No matter how he thought about it, a physical fitness test couldn't possibly be an easy affair, and there was no harm in getting a little more rest the night before.
Early the next morning, after completing his morning training as usual, Oscar walked into the cafeteria and was surprised to discover that the other members of the small team known as the Shrek Seven Devils had actually appeared in the cafeteria at this hour as well, which was hardly a common occurrence.
Back in Soto City, the academy was only so big, and as long as everyone stayed within the academy, they would run into each other from time to time. But after coming to Heaven Dou City, the campus had grown who knew how many times larger, and aside from occasionally meeting in the Advanced Soul Master Class, it had already become difficult for everyone to gather this completely.
The chances of running into these companions at breakfast were even slimmer, after all, Oscar had already gotten used to waking up early for morning training, and the only person on the entire team whose biological clock was close to Oscar's was Tang San, who was currently still staying beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"What's going on?You guys actually came to eat this early, and you're all here too."
"Isn't it all because of you," Ma Hongjun, whose entire chubby face screamed that he hadn't woken up yet and who was stuffing meat buns into his mouth as if sleepwalking, mumbled,"Didn't you tell Grandmaster yesterday that you wanted to test the maximum age limit of the soul ring your body could absorb?
Then, Grandmaster figured that herding one sheep is herding, and herding a flock is herding too, so he might as well have us all get tested together, saying that he could also collect some test data along the way and improve the accuracy of determining the maximum age limit of the soul ring you can absorb."
Scratching his head, Oscar hadn't expected things to develop this way, but a group suffering together was still better than suffering alone(physical fitness test). As the beneficiary, Oscar wasn't really in a position to say anything more, in any case, everyone was a member of the team, and sometimes helping others was also helping yourself.
The meal itself didn't take too much time, but the students, knowing what they were about to do, spent half an hour resting after the meal before heading one after another toward the wooden cabin.
The scenery around the wooden cabin was still very distinctive, clearly someone was tending to the place regularly. Otherwise, the cabin's former owner Liu Erlong had already moved into the faculty dormitory nearly half a year ago, and there was no way these ornamental plants here could still be this neat.
Flender and the other teachers, whom the students were very familiar with, were already waiting for everyone here, without any unnecessary chatter, the test began immediately.
The first test was overseen by Teacher Li Yusong, every year during Shrek Academy's new student enrollment season, Teacher Li would sit at the academy entrance and be responsible for the first checkpoint, determining the ages of incoming students to prevent anyone from slipping through the cracks.
This method of determining age was a special soul power application technique mastered by Teacher Li, when this soul power technique was used to examine bones, it could determine bone age and bone strength;when used to examine muscles, it could detect muscle strength.
And what Teacher Li Yusong was going to do now was use this method to test the students' muscle strength and bone strength.
Of course, the muscle and bone strength detected by this soul power technique was only a rough concept, there was no way to quantify it precisely, and judgments of strength and weakness depended entirely on the user's experience, so it could only be used as a basic reference for judging physical strength.
This test proceeded very quickly, as Li Yusong tested the students, he also recorded some things on the recording tablet in his hand, Oscar glanced over and found that they were all scores.
The scoring range looked like it was out of ten, but as for what the scoring criteria were, that wasn't something Oscar could know.
Twenty minutes later the first test ended, and everyone immediately moved on to the second test, the content of this test was extremely brutal, in keeping with the usual style of physical fitness tests.
All seven students lined up in a row, spaced a certain distance apart from one another, standing within Zhao Wuji's Gravity Domain while each resisting the oppressive aura released by the various teachers, and holding out for as long as possible.
According to Oscar's personal experience, the gravity Zhao Wuji's Gravity Domain exerted on the students was purely physical pressure, while the oppressive aura released by the other teachers, belonging to high-level soul masters, also contained pressure on the mind and will. The academy's teachers had artificially simulated the environment during soul ring absorption.
It was just that Oscar couldn't be certain how similar the impact of a soul beast's lingering will during soul ring absorption was to the oppressive aura released by the teachers.
Because Oscar's experiences when absorbing soul rings weren't completely the same as everyone else's, at least during the first three soul ring absorption processes they were different.
The entire soul ring absorption process consisted of observing a chef make a soul skill hamburger in a mysterious space, once the hamburger was finished, Oscar would be kicked out of that mysterious space, and at that point the soul ring absorption process would also be over(without even getting a chance to taste the hamburger made by the chef), so he couldn't feel the impact of the soul beast's lingering will at all.
Of course, it wasn't as though Oscar had never experienced the impact of a soul beast's lingering will at all. When he obtained the Flame Armor Shield, Oscar had nearly had his mental defenses shattered by the will of that Flame Armor Rhinoceros, and only managed to escape disaster by visualizing the Five Animal Diagram. However, that had been the absorption of a soul bone after all, and there was no telling whether it differed in any way from absorbing a soul ring.
