As Xiao Yan's name rang out,most of the students present looked over, and even many of the assessment teachers cast curious glances.
After all, the top student in each grade is the focus of everyone's attention.
This is Shrek Academy, not some unknown small sect.
To be able to become the top student in this place full of monsters, one will most likely start as a Title Douluo in the future.
Moreover, this Soul Master, who is only twelve years old, is a completely overwhelming force against the second-year students.
Mu Jin's face showed arrogance, while Zhou Yi's expression was gloomy.
"Hmph"
Only Elder Gong curled his lips and snorted coldly.
"This kid's talent is so-so, but he's very arrogant. If you didn't know better, you would think he was guaranteed admission to the inner academy and crushed all the geniuses in the inner academy."
"A twelve-year-old Soul Master does have the capital to be proud." Su Wen grinned, his gaze fixed on the thin boy who was coming up below.
His face was still immature, but mixed with a hint of arrogance—a confidence built up from countless compliments.
"The inner court is never short of geniuses! Any one of them could easily beat him.
And you, kid, don't try to act tough.
You became a Soul Venerable at ten? Don't even mention his peers, could he even withstand a single move from you now?"
"It's good for young people to be low-key, but don't act like you're already old at such a young age, like an old man with one foot in the ground."
Elder Gong curled his lip in disdain.
"It's a pity you're not in the same year as him, otherwise you could have curbed his arrogance. I can't stand watching him."
"..."
Su Wen shrugged and continued to watch the match.
The teachers around him changed their expressions, especially Zhou Yi, whose nails were clenched into her flesh.
It was very clear that this child was definitely not the offspring of an outer court teacher, but some little monster from the inner court.
Like Ma Xiaotao, a direct descendant of the inner academy, though the parentage of some great figure is unknown, her near-monstrous talent alone speaks volumes.
Reaching the Soul Master level at ten years old—in a Shrek Academy teeming with monsters, this is a feat worthy of being recorded in history.
As long as she doesn't die young, she's likely to be one of Shrek Academy's top talents.
Mu Jin, however, was initially stunned, then overjoyed.
She noticed the key point!
This child is only ten! That means he'll be enrolling next year!
Becoming a teacher to someone like him isn't just about producing "achievements"; it's a terrifying political resource!
When Su Wen rises to a high position in the academy in the future, a single word from him can accomplish many things.
For example, Zhou Yi went to great lengths, tormenting those children, all for the sake of a so-called selection for outstanding teachers in the Martial Soul Department—wasn't that all for this?
She really wanted to laugh out loud at that moment.
Zhou Yi had brought this upon herself; this child would never be in Zhou Yi's class, no matter what.
If disciples from other sects wanted to join Shrek Academy, choosing their own class was extremely difficult, but this boy seemed to have no such need.
He could probably choose his class with just a word.
One less strong competitor, awesome!
"..."
However, Mu Jin hesitated for a moment and still didn't step forward to speak.
Several teachers around who were preparing to teach the next class were also quite tempted.
They exchanged glances but continued to watch the competition without showing any emotion.
"Roar roar roar!"
Xiao Yan roared several times.
Its body suddenly changed. Its arms became thick and long, its nails sharp, its legs became short, and a blood-red tail emerged from behind it. Its whole body seemed to have turned into a small blood-red baboon, but half of its arm was a strange silver.
"This is his martial soul, the Blood Silver Baboon. As a variant of the Blood Red Baboon, the most powerful baboon in the Star Dou Great Forest baboon clan, his martial soul possesses bloodlust and metallic properties."
Seeing Su Wen's surprised expression, Mu Jin smiled, secretly thinking her opportunity had arrived, and stepped forward to explain quite naturally.
"Metallic defensive properties?" Su Wen nodded slightly.
Bloodlust is like a buff, multiplying combat power during a blood burst, but metallic properties enhance one's own attack and defense attributes.
Among mutated beast martial souls, this Xiao Yan is definitely incredibly lucky.
Seeing Su Wen nod politely to her, Mu Jin was overjoyed.
The other teachers, seeing this, looked annoyed.
What a great opportunity!
"Tch, little guy, which soul beast are you going to use to beat him up?" Gong Lao scoffed.
"Little Gold, it's safer."
Su Wen pondered.
"Alright, Little Gold it is!" Gong Lao chuckled mischievously, whispering to a staff member behind him.
As the arena staff left,Mu Jin and the other teachers became increasingly bewildered—what did they mean by "his soul beast"? Could it be a beast-taming type martial soul?
At the same time,a roar erupted from behind the fence.
The oppressive atmosphere silenced the entire arena.
Xiao Yan, who had been brimming with confidence, froze, the roar nearly forcing his martial spirit back into his body!
As the fence slowly rose,a dark gold dinosaur bear, nearly four meters tall, slowly appeared before everyone.
"Gulp~"
Xiao Yan's throat bobbed, his neck stiff as he looked towards the assessment area. "
You want me to fight it?
No just say you want me dead!
A thousand-year-old dark gold dinosaur bear, its combat power is practically ten thousand years old!"
In the examiner's area,Mu Jin's face paled slightly.
This was a dark gold dinosaur bear! Its combat power was multiplied by ten! Sending such a "ferocious beast" to assess a freshman? Even with Dean Yan present in previous years, they wouldn't dare go this far, right?
Wait she suddenly recalled their conversation.
This boy's soul beast?
You call this thousand-year-old dark gold dinosaur bear your soul beast?!
She looked at Su Wen in astonishment, but the boy remained calm as he watched the competition, his expression undisturbed…
…
"You chose it, kid. A thousand-year-old soul beast is fine. This Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is only a thousand years old."
The referee shrugged, giving him a helpless look.
"You know it's called the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear too!!!" Xiao Yan looked at the approaching Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and felt his hair stand on end.
His legs trembled uncontrollably, and his face turned pale.
He just wanted to participate in the assessment, not die here!
"The assessment continues. You only need to last three one minutes against it, and the assessment will be over."
The referee explained, receiving the signal in his ear.
"Then I'll give it a try." Xiao Yan took a deep breath.
He was still confident in the safety of the academy.
Although he didn't know where they got such a creature from, if they dared to put it up, they were probably confident.
"Roar!"
Three soul rings rose from his feet.
Yellow, yellow, purple.
"Silver Defense!"
"Iron Wall!"
"Crimson Rage!"
He then launched a fierce attack on the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
And then that was it.
Mu Jin gasped as Xiao Jin slapped her against the fence of the fighting arena.
Xiao Jin's strength was perfectly controlled; a single blow could have easily broken Xiao Yan's bones and shattered her head like a watermelon.
But despite the seemingly powerful strike, Xiao Yan surprisingly stood up.
"Huh, her bones aren't broken?!"
