Huo Zhanji walked easily on the streets of Xingluo City. For him, today will be a new beginning.

This year he is twelve years old and has finished junior academy. Due to his excellent grades, he was recommended to enter Shrek Academy Xingluo Branch for the next stage of study.

When he was six years old, he awakened his own martial soul, and with the accompanying level five soul power, he was considered an ordinary man. However his martial soul was very rare, it was a type of spiritual eye martial soul. Used for assistance and reconnaissance, both are rare existences.

While at the academy, he studied hard and excelled. Although he was only twelve years old this year, his soul power had reached level 20. He had just completed a breakthrough and had his second soul skill. He also met the basic requirements to be recommended from the junior academy to the Star Luo Branch of Shrek Academy. Even though it has just reached the standard, it is still the standard!

The threshold of level twenty at the age of twelve had trapped many people.

His headmaster at the junior academy once told his parents that although Zhanji was not very talented, he was hardworking and very smart. He is also calm and has a general air unlike other children of the same age. It was a small miracle that he got into the Shrek branch through his own efforts even though he was an average kid.

However, in many cases, talent can only determine part of the future, and hard work is often more important. Let his parents continue to help him maintain a good attitude and have a bright future.

Today was the day to report for the start of the academy, and Huo Zhanji's mood was very excited. He had heard too many legends about Shrek Academy. This is where the dreams of countless powerful people begin.

However, he also heard that something seemed to have happened at Shrek Academy's headquarters in Shrek City several years ago. The headquarters closed many departments, and even the Douluo Star seemed to be holding some major event, many legendary strongmen had all disappeared. Shrek Academy has also carried out a series of reforms.

Of course, this did not affect Shrek Academy's status in Huo Zhanji's mind. For him, those legendary strongmen were too far away.

From a distance, the Star Luo branch of Shrek Academy could already be seen. Huo Zhanji's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a bit.

Nowadays, many children come to school like him. Many of them came by float car. Only a few people like him come here by bus and on foot.

Shrek Branch occupies a large area, but the school gate is not very grand. There was a simple inscription on the huge metal arch, Xingluo, Shrek Academy.

The school gate was wide open, and a light blue halo hung above the school gate. All students who want to enter the academy must pass through this light curtain.

Huo Zhanji remembered the instructions from the principal at the junior academy and quickly took a card from his backpack and took it out.

The card said Star Luo branch of Shrek Academy, and there was a chip inside. This was his acceptance notice, and also the certificate for entering the Shrek branch in front of him.

Holding the card in his hand, Huo Zhanji walked towards the light curtain. When his body was bathed in light, he didn't feel anything on his body, but the card in his hand felt slightly warm. Immediately afterwards, an electronic voice sounded from the card, "New student Huo Zhanji, please report to the first floor of the main teaching building."

A beam of light shot out from the raised transparent crystal in the center of the card, showing a three-dimensional image in front of it. There is a clear logo and guiding arrows on the image, leading it in the direction it wants to go.

How sophisticated! Huo Zhanji couldn't help but admire in his heart. He hurriedly followed the arrow's directions and walked towards the academy.

The students entering the academy seemed to be in a hurry. Only a few people spoke and no one paid attention to him. Huo Zhanji followed the route shown on the admission notification card and soon arrived at a huge teaching building that was a hundred stories high.

The main teaching building of the Star Luo branch of Shrek Academy.

Entering the teaching building, the card was swiped again by the light curtain at the entrance, and the suspended map light curtain updated, leading him to walk inside the building. Not long after, he arrived at the reporting office on the first floor.

It was a metal machine. He inserted the card into one of the machines, and the relevant information suddenly appeared on the machine's screen.

Huo Zhanji, male, twelve years old. He is 1.58 meters tall and weighs 38 kilograms. Martial Spirit: Spiritual Eye. Soul power level: twenty-one. Soul, 100 year old evil eye.

Comprehensive evaluation: C-top.

The electronic prompt said: "New student Huo Zhanji, registration is complete. Please go to the 18th floor of the main teaching building to prepare for the entrance examination."

​Is it time to do the exam after the report is finished? Huo Zhanji was stunned for a moment. This is a bit urgent, isn't it?

However, as a new student, he naturally had no right to argue. There aren't even any teachers here. He took back the card that appeared again and it turned into a metal card with a small electronic screen and his photo on it.

The electronic voice sounded again: "Student Huo Zhanji, please turn left to machine No. 2 to pick up your school uniform and related items."

Huo Zhanji immediately took his student card and turned left to look for machine No. 2. Light green academy uniforms have appeared. While picking up the academy uniform, the electronic voice reminded him again that the academy uniform could be purchased at the Academic Affairs Office. The first set of academy uniforms will be distributed free of charge by the academy and students do not need to buy them themselves. It is mandatory to wear an academy uniform when studying at the academy. The new student card needs to be worn on the right shoulder of the academy uniform for identification. And reminded him to immediately go to the changing room to change into his academy uniform.

Shrek Academy provides free teaching, and there is no need to pay academy fees. But if you purchase necessary cultivation resources, students will have to pay for it themselves.

Huo Zhanji came to the changing room and put on his new academy uniform. The school uniform fits perfectly. This light green academy uniform is very stretchy and textured. When worn, it vaguely feels like there is a metal part inside that fits the body.

Huo Zhanji inserted the new student card into the card slot on his right shoulder. Suddenly, green light patterns flashed on the surface of the academy uniform. A beam of light shot out from his right shoulder and appeared before his eyes, revealing that Huo Zhanji, a new student, had his academy uniform activated. At the same time, the function of his academy uniform was also listed.

Academy uniforms have a self-cleaning effect. You just need to soak it in clean water during breaks and the uniform will clean itself. At the same time, the academy uniform has a certain defensive effect, and the defensive power is increased by two.

At the same time, there is a series of data displays on the light curtain.

Huo Zhanji, a new student at Shrek Academy Xingluo Branch, is twelve years old.

Martial Spirit: Spiritual Eye.

Strength: seven.

Agility: eight.

Physique: seven.

Spirit: eleven.

Attack: seven.

Defense: five plus two.

There are a total of six data items listed. At the same time, there is a note underneath: The six-dimensional data is determined based on scanning the student's own physical quality. Does not involve skill bonuses, etc. Soul skills and other skills are interrelated and will not be displayed in the data. New students need to explore on their own.

Huo Zhanji immediately understood. In other words, only basic physical data is displayed and has nothing to do with skills?

My data is definitely not good, it can be seen from the previous C evaluation. There are A and B above C, then divided into upper, middle and lower. Then my C level should be considered a seventh level entry talent. I guess it's not the worst, but it's close to bad.

Even though he thought about this, he did not feel depressed. Before coming here, his junior academy teacher had reminded him that there were so many talented people in Shrek Academy. With his grades, it was already a huge victory for him to barely be able to take the exam, even if he faced students who were more talented than him. Don't underestimate yourself. Be yourself. As long as you work hard, you may be able to surpass those geniuses in the future.

Look in the mirror. I look really good in the mirror, not too handsome, but not bad either. By wearing this Shrek Academy uniform, you will look even more heroic. Insert the new student card into the card slot on the right shoulder, with only the part of the card showing the photo. There is also a small red light that illuminates above the card slot.

Without rushing to the eighteenth floor, Huo Zhanji checked all the machines outside. This is where he is calmer than his friends. Through observation, he discovered that among these machines, apart from the machines for registering new students, there were also machines that explained some of the academy's rules and introduced the new students to the simple situation of the academy.

Huo Zhanji watched all this carefully.

Then he realized that the red dot on his shoulder represented his identity. The new students are all red dots. After passing the new student assessment, the red dot will change to a white bright dot indicating that they are formal students. With the increase of the six basic attributes, the light spots will also change differently. After collecting ten white light spots, it will turn into a yellow light spot, and can continue to accumulate and improve. It seemed like the different colors of his soul rings represented different levels.

As for why such a ranking system was implemented in the academy, it was not stated in the regulations. It's just that the level is related to rights and interests here, where everything needs to be fought for by yourself.

What Huo Zhanji cared most about was that there were clear rules in the academy regulations. As a new student, if you fail to pass the new student assessment, you will not be allowed to enter the academy and will be returned to the junior academy to choose another academy.

This was something he didn't know before! In other words, he would go to the eighteenth floor for the assessment. If he failed, he would no longer be a student of Shrek Academy.

After all, he was only twelve years old, and his mood suddenly became a little tense.

Following the instructions on the new student card, he found the elevator and took the elevator to the 18th floor.

When he stepped out of the elevator to the 18th floor, he suddenly felt as if he had entered a silver-white world.

The various arrangements on the 18th floor are all made of silver-white unknown metal, which has a cold metal texture and a sense of shock brought by high technology.

Following the route of the new student card, Huo Zhanji came to iron doors that opened opposite each other.

A beam of light shone on him from above the door, then there was a soft "beep", and the door opened.

There is also a silver-white world inside, but it is presented in a circle. The area is not too big, about one hundred square meters.

Huo Zhanji entered according to the instructions on the new student card.

This room is completely covered in silver metal, circular in shape, even the roof is dome-shaped. Huo Zhanji's martial spirit was Spirit Eyes, so he was very good at observing. He was sure that this room was not the only one on the eighteenth floor. Because he had seen new students like him enter another metal door with a red light flashing over their shoulders before. They also have to undergo a new student assessment.

At this moment, a silver-white beam of light fell from the sky and landed on Huo Zhanji.

The cold electronic voice resounded: "New student Huo Zhanji is preparing to take the entrance examination. The new student protection mechanism is triggered, and this assessment is non-death mode. When encountering uncontrolled danger, the candidate will be automatically teleported back. New student assessment area is being withdrawn..."

He understood every word the electronic voice said, but he was a little confused when the two were linked together. However, he vaguely knew that there were still certain risks in this assessment, but because of the protection of his new students, these risks would not endanger his life. However, in this metal room, there will be judgment.

What assessment will be carried out?

At this moment, a "beep" electronic sound sounded.

"The new student assessment area has been selected. Prepare to teleport."

In an instant, circles of silver light rippled beneath Huo Zhanji's feet, and complicated silver-white patterns instantly reappeared from all the silver-white metal surfaces in the entire room.

Soon, Huo Zhanji discovered that his body was unable to move, and everything around him seemed to begin to distort violently.

He discovered that his body seemed to be torn apart, and the next moment, his eyes went blank.

Before losing consciousness, he only vaguely heard the final echo of the electronic voice: "Come in, the world of Mad God, the first round."
