Chapter 29 New Assessment Rules
"Thank you for your help, senior. See you later."
"That's true, we'll definitely meet again someday," Zhang Lexuan said with a gentle smile.
Ji Siyuan sighed, "Why are you so sure?"
"Because I'm your new homeroom teacher. But I won't officially take office until after the freshman assessment. So, junior, you can call me 'teacher' in advance!"
While Ji Siyuan stared in disbelief, Zhang Lexuan returned to the inner courtyard.
"What on earth is going on here?"
Tang San: "It feels pretty good, at least much better than that masked one." He didn't even remember Zhou Yi's name.
"Good skills, good temper. And tough enough when necessary. He's tougher on deterrence than Wang Yan is now. If he's going to stay with you until graduation, he's definitely better than those two."
Clearly, both Tang San and Ji Siyuan knew that they could never follow the normal order.
"Never mind all that, let's go back to the dorm and rest. Tomorrow I'll go find Xu Sanshi to practice my soul skills."
"So eager to get back to the dorm, without even eating. This isn't a change of heart, it's just that you're thinking about your prey, right? A young girl dressed as a boy, and you're worried about her getting kidnapped?"
"Uncle!"
"A day apart feels like three autumns; I'm sorry for being so talkative. Go on, maybe there's already a new guy in your dorm."
Ignoring Tang San's laughter, Ji Siyuan ran towards the dormitory.
He was caught by Moon downstairs in the dormitory.
"Why are you running so fast? The old man isn't going to eat you."
"Old man, no, senior, what are you still doing here?"
Moon often appears downstairs at the dormitory building, sitting there doing who knows what.
As usual, Ji Siyuan moved Mu En to a different spot to bask in the sun.
"Alright, senior, you can enjoy your sunbathing now."
Moon used his soul power to turn the wheelchair around: "To have the leisure to joke with an old man like me, it seems you've acquired a decent soul skill. Why don't you let me see it?"
"this?"
"Yes, this is the place. Don't worry, I'm here, there won't be any problems."
As a rising star, Mu En is paying close attention to Ji Siyuan's development.
Every day, he would watch Ji Siyuan return from outside the dormitory building, and he could feel the changes within Ji Siyuan's body.
He also researched a lot of information and conducted on-site investigations.
He couldn't figure out what Ji Siyuan's martial soul was like.
Going deep into the Earth's core is even more impossible; humans simply cannot reach the Earth's core.
Even if he went, there's no guarantee that the Earth Core Red Lotus would appear.
The birth of the Earth Core Red Lotus is a miracle in itself and cannot be replicated.
There's no other way but to nurture it as an ultimate martial soul for now.
"Can I just be inhuman for once?"
"You want to beat up an old man like me? Fine, go ahead." Mu En smiled and agreed to Ji Siyuan's request.
No matter what, a Great Soul Master can't defeat a Title Douluo.
Ji Siyuan activated his Martial Soul, and his two thousand-year-old Soul Rings shone brightly. Aside from special secret techniques, no one else could start with two thousand-year-old Soul Rings; he was the first.
"Second Soul Skill, Blazing Lotus!"
Flames erupted beneath Mu En's feet, transforming into a crimson lotus that shot into the sky as a pillar of fire.
Born from the earth, it rises towards the sky.
It has a knockback effect and is very powerful.
"What a great soul skill! Its power is top-tier even among soul skills that are thousands of years old. With the addition of the Ultimate Flame, you're basically invincible within the third ring."
Ji Siyuan was somewhat dissatisfied with this assessment: "I beat Dai Huabin's Three Rings team."
"Do you want to compete with him?"
He felt a sudden enlightenment; defeating three rings with one was a respectable achievement. But his opponent was Dai Huabin, someone who was simply unworthy of comparison. How could he be happy about this? He should just act normally.
With enough talent, he could basically cross borders and take down Dai Huabin. I was in the 18 cohort back then, so even if I crossed borders, it didn't prove anything.
He should be comparing himself to historical figures, not to the weakling Dai Huabin of today.
"Thanks, old man."
"Okay, remember to cultivate diligently. I'm going to rest now."
"OK."
"Move him back!" Every time he chatted with Ji Siyuan, Ji Siyuan would move him to another place, which affected his mood.
"Don't you have soul power? Do it yourself."
Mu En chuckled and cursed a couple of times, watching Ji Siyuan rush into the dormitory building.
"Damn it, chatting with an old man is such a waste of time."
Even though it had taken a few minutes, Ji Siyuan still felt uncomfortable.
Arrived at the dormitory entrance.
She pushed open the door: "I'm home."
Tang San: "Oh my, there really are other boys here."
Upon seeing a new person with pink and blue hair in the dormitory, that was Ji Siyuan's first thought as well.
But then I thought, this seems to be Wang Dong.
"It should be Wang Dong'er."
Tang San asked in confusion, "Why should it be?"
"Because I'm not sure either."
The two people who were chatting heard the sound and immediately turned around.
"Welcome back, Siyuan."
"You still know how to come back?" The person who appeared in their dormitory was Wang Dong'er.
"What's going on? What are you doing in our dorm? Isn't this the boys' dorm?"
Wang Dong'er: "I came to talk to you and Huo Yuhao about the freshman assessment, but you weren't here. So I had to ask him."
"New student assessment? Isn't that supposed to be a month from now? Why is it starting so early?"
The new student assessment will be conducted three months later, after which students will be assigned to classes.
This has been a long-standing tradition. Beibei and Xu Sanshi have told him several times that he must get first place, as there will be a very good reward.
Moreover, the higher the quality of the new students, the better the rewards.
This year's freshmen are undoubtedly the highest-quality cohort ever. The rewards will certainly be generous.
There's no harm in not taking the reward.
Wang Dong'er: "Hmph, who knows? The teacher said in class today that the rules have changed this year."
"Changed? Changed to what?" Ji Siyuan had heard rumors, but knew nothing of the details.
Wang Dong'er: "I can't explain it clearly. Let Huo Yuhao explain it to you."
Huo Yuhao: "Currently, it's divided into three stages. The first stage is free team formation, with three people per team. If a team cannot be formed and submitted within a week before the start, the school and teachers will form teams. The second stage is a small-scale free-for-all, with three teams participating simultaneously to determine the winners who advance to the next round, until only six teams remain."
Finally, there's the grand finale, a chaotic battle to determine the champion team.
The traditional three-person team format wasn't completely overturned because the Soul Fighting Tournament has a two-two-three battle mode.
But it's completely different from the previous regular 3v3 format. It's a free-for-all mode.
Even the strongest team in this mode might not advance, because they'll be overwhelmed. Unless you're significantly stronger.
Wang Dong'er: "It's perfect that I'm teaming up with you two. Don't tell me you've already found other people."
Huo Yuhao: "We're in the same grade, and I'm only a little familiar with the two of you."
Ji Siyuan was similar. He also had an extra friend, Dai Huabin, with whom he had been in a fight.
Putting him on the same team as Dai Huabin would be simply disgusting.
It's absolutely impossible.
"Hey, you didn't just go out and someone already made a reservation for you, did you?" Wang Dong'er asked Ji Siyuan.
"Then let's be a team!"
