Chapter 52 Inner Court Assessment
A few months later, the inner court assessment came as scheduled.
The inner court examination was held on the Sea God Island. As soon as Wang Nan boarded the ship and landed on the Sea God Island, he saw an acquaintance.
"Junior Brother Wang, I knew that with your talent, you would definitely apply for this year's inner court assessment."
"Brother Dai, thank you for your praise. I am just trying it out. I am not sure if I can pass it."
“Haha, if even Junior Brother Wang can’t pass, then there really aren’t many people who can.” Dai Yuheng smiled, “I just hope I don’t run into Junior Brother Wang on the ring, otherwise I’ll have to wait until next year to try again.”
There were more than a hundred outer court disciples who applied to enter the inner court. More than half of them were eliminated through the previous recommendations and character tests, and only about forty people were able to take part in the actual combat assessment.
Among them, the number of people in the strong attack department is even smaller. The probability of Dai Yueheng and Wang Nan encountering them is not low, so his worries are not unreasonable.
"Everyone, be quiet for a moment." Yan Shaozhe and Cai Meier appeared in front of everyone with several inner courtyard teachers. "Now we will proceed to the last item of the inner courtyard assessment of the martial spirit department, the actual combat assessment."
All the outer courtyard disciples who were waiting for the test quieted down and looked at Yan Shaozhe.
As Yan Shaozhe spoke, his eyes swept across all the disciples present and lingered on Wang Nan for a moment.
"The academy will arrange different tests based on your different directions. The content is all related to actual combat. Teachers will take you to different test sites. I hope you can remember that no matter whether you can pass the inner academy test or not, you are all Shrek's disciples and the best soul masters on this continent."
Yan Shaozhe stirred up the emotions of some disciples with just a few words, and then Cai Meir took a step forward.
"All the offensive disciples, follow me."
After saying that, she took the lead and walked towards the interior of Poseidon Island, and Wang Nan and others quickly followed.
Not long after, several people came to a ring. Compared with the fighting area in the outer courtyard, this ring was much larger and there were not so many spectator seats around it.
Standing next to the arena were several soul masters that had never been seen before. They were probably disciples from other academies.
The inner courtyard of Shrek Academy does not only recruit students from the outer courtyard, but students from other academies can also take this opportunity to participate in the assessment. However, only one or two students can pass the assessment every year, and sometimes there is not even one student.
"The combat test for the strong attack department is very simple." Cai Meier walked onto the stage and gathered the disciples who were taking the test together. "That is to defeat your opponent. Whether you defeat him head-on or make him fall off the stage, it counts as your victory. There is no limit to the means."
Although making the opponent fall out of the ring is considered a victory, the difficulty of knocking an opponent of similar strength out of such a large ring is almost the same as defeating him head-on.
"In the interest of fairness, every student taking the test will come draw lots here, and those who draw the same number will be grouped together." Cai Meir looked at the students from other academies, "The same goes for you."
The students came forward one by one to draw lots. Wang Nan unfolded the paper ball in his hand, on which was written a "3". He looked up and around, and saw that the other students were looking around like him, looking for their opponents.
"Okay, those who draw number one can go on stage to compete."
As Cai Meir's voice fell, two men in black school uniforms jumped onto the stage. They appeared to be sixth-grade students.
As the match started, a familiar blue light suddenly lit up on one of the men, and then he rushed rapidly to the center of the ring.
When the academy first started promoting the combination of soul masters and soul guides, many martial soul disciples were reluctant to accept it. But as more and more pure soul masters were defeated by soul guides, some students began to try soul guides. And soul guide propulsion devices, which are simple to operate and can play a big role, have gradually become popular.
The lights of various soul skills on the ring kept flashing, and time passed by minute by minute. Soon, Cai Meir on the ring called out number three.
A very tall man jumped onto the ring.
He was wearing a black school uniform and should be a sixth-grade student. He was over two meters tall and very strong, which made Wang Nan look a little petite when standing in front of him.
"Sixth grade, Taiyuan, please give me your guidance." Taiyuan clasped his fists.
"Fourth grade, Wang Nan, please give me your guidance." Wang Nan followed Tai Yuan's example and clasped his fists, gave his name, and then walked towards the ring.
"The assessment begins!"
As Cai Meir's voice fell, Tai Yuan on the other side of the ring let out an angry roar, his muscles swelled rapidly, his arms grew longer and hung below his knees, black hair appeared on his face and hands, and five soul rings of yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black lit up on his body, revealing the strength of a Soul King.
Mighty Gorilla.
After studying in Shrek's outer courtyard for four years, Wang Nan was able to quickly identify some martial spirits. The martial spirit of the student in front of him, Tai Yuan, was the powerful gorilla, which was known for its strength.
The mighty gorilla spirit comes from the power clan, which once served the Haotian Sect and later joined the Tang Sect. However, as the Tang Sect became weaker and weaker, the power clan under its command gradually disappeared. I didn't expect that there would be a mighty gorilla spirit in the academy.
After Tai Yuan activated his martial spirit, he took a step forward and rushed towards Wang Nan, his footsteps making a "dong dong" sound on the ground.
Wang Nan watched Tai Yuan getting closer, activated the soul guide thrusters behind him, and leaped into the air nimbly.
Wang Nan’s fighting style has always been flexible. Since he knows that his opponent is a powerful gorilla who is good at strength, he will not confront him head-on in the opponent’s area of expertise.
Tai Yuan is a pure power-type soul master. Every time he obtains a soul ring, it comes from the same type of soul beast. Therefore, in terms of strength, he is not weaker than soul masters of the same soul power level. But at the same time, this also greatly reduces his adaptability.
At this time, Wang Nan rose into the air. Even though Tai Yuan had the cultivation level of a Soul King, he could only stand there and watch.
Wang Nan concentrated his mind and used his Panlong Sanshi again, and he "pointed" at Taiyuan's head from top to bottom with the stick.
However, this was the moment Tai Yuan was waiting for. His first and third soul rings lit up at the same time. He exerted force with his legs, and stepped on the solid ring to create two shallow pits. His body had already leaped high and rushed towards Wang Nan.
Tai Yuan was able to successfully advance to the sixth grade in Shrek Academy without being eliminated. Naturally, he was not as clumsy as he seemed. Even though Wang Nan only had four spirit rings, he never looked down on this junior brother. You know, in Shrek, strength is never determined by the number of spirit rings. The fact that this junior brother was able to apply for the inner courtyard assessment in advance in the fourth grade is very telling.
Therefore, he waited for Wang Nan to get close from the beginning. With his martial soul and soul power level, he was confident that he could end the game the moment Wang Nan approached.
Tai Yuan raised his arms high, his fourth soul ring lit up, and he clapped his hands towards Wang Nan.
Facing such a fierce attack, Wang Nan merely flashed his first soul ring, and the soul guide thruster in his hand emitted light gently. Relying on the blessing brought by his first soul skill, Wang Nan gently twisted his body in the air and dodged the attack.
