"I thought you knew the value and use of this ore, which is why you took it. I didn't expect you to need to research it," Jiang Nannan said with a hint of teasing.
In her heart, she felt that Shi Yu most likely knew the true value of this ore, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen it.
Shi Yu just smiled and didn't speak. Some things were better left unsaid; it was enough that he understood.
Jiang Nannan was also tactful and didn't press further, only hoping that Shi Yu wouldn't regret his decision to choose this ore.
After Shi Yu left, the Senior Executives of Jubao Pavilion immediately received news that Shi Yu had taken a treasure from Jubao Pavilion.
"Could it be that Shi Yu has seen through the secrets of this mysterious Space ore?" Some of the Senior Executives of Jubao Pavilion gathered together and discussed this question.
They had conducted in-depth research on this mysterious ore, but the information they obtained was minimal.
It was also not easy to utilize it. To use it simply as a Space-attribute ore seemed a bit regrettable, and its more valuable uses had not been discovered.
They could only store it like this. In fact, this ore was discovered a thousand years ago and had been kept in Jubao Pavilion until now when it was finally taken away.
They were genuinely curious about how Shi Yu would use this ore.
When Shi Yu returned to the dormitory, Dai Huabin happened to be out, which gave Shi Yu the opportunity to research this ore.
Holding the ore in his hand, he was at a loss for a moment, unsure how to obtain the location of the Dragon Valley Space through this ore.
He tried to activate the ore with his own energy, and even specifically used his left hand with Dragon Scales to touch and try.
The Golden-Silver Dragon Scales only made the ore's light slightly brighter, with no other changes occurring.
Shi Yu sensed with full concentration, not wanting to miss any information.
After sensing for more than ten minutes, he made a slight discovery. He felt a subtle resonance with this ore and had a feeling in his heart, involuntarily looking in one direction.
His intuition told Senior that the direction of the Dragon Valley was in this direction.
"I hope this ore can really lead me to the Dragon Valley Space," Shi Yu thought with anticipation.
For now, there was no way to actually go in that direction to search and verify. This matter would have to wait until he had Time later.
After all, the distance separating him from the Dragon Valley Space could be hundreds of thousands of kilometers. Going there rashly would be tantamount to seeking death.
Shi Yu stayed in the dormitory to cultivate, and when it was almost dinner Time, he went to the cafeteria to work as usual.
Senior was not yet out of poverty. For Senior, working in the cafeteria was related to survival, so Senior couldn't easily give it up.
Starting from the second day, there were more matches in the New Student Assessment.
Each team had at least two matches a day, and some even had three or four.
Three hundred and ten groups were divided into thirty-one large groups. Within each large group, there were inter-group matches, and the top two teams would qualify for the subsequent knockout rounds.
In addition to the top two teams from each group, the third-place teams also had a chance to enter the knockout rounds.
However, the competitive pressure was even greater. To enter with a third-place finish, one had to surpass the third-place teams from other groups.
Only two out of the thirty-one third-place teams could enter the knockout rounds, so the competitive pressure was imaginable.
This was also to make up sixty-four teams for the knockout rounds to facilitate subsequent matches.
The first match this morning was for Shi Yu's group.
This Time, the opponents were not much stronger than the previous ones, and they were still defeated relatively easily.
Shi Yu's Space ability, Dai Huabin's powerful physique and strength, and Zhu Lu's speed made it difficult for their opponents to resist.
The match in the afternoon also ended without much suspense.
In the following days, they continued to defeat their opponents with irresistible force and kept winning. Unconsciously, they accumulated nine victories, which was a perfect record.
They secured the first place in this group and had a certain advantage in the top sixty-four matches.
The opponent of the group first would only be the group second or the group third who entered the knockout rounds through subsequent playoffs.
The strength of the group second and group third was definitely inferior to that of the group first, making it easier to win.
The group matches for several consecutive days all ended, which also meant the end of the New Student Assessment.
The subsequent knockout rounds were not part of the New Student Assessment. The quality of the results would not lead to being eliminated and filtered out by the Academy.
Some teams that did not achieve good results in the group matches met the assessment requirements and could continue to stay in Shrek Academy.
Some were eliminated. This was their first semester, and it would also be their last semester.
From now on, they would no longer be members of Shrek Academy.
The results of the New Student Assessment were related to whether they could continue to stay in Shrek Academy.
Basically, the bottom five teams in the group would be eliminated, and the top five teams were considered to have passed the assessment.
This elimination mechanism meant that only half of the people could successfully stay until the next semester.
Most of the Time, it was even less than half, because there were other factors that could lead to someone being expelled from the school.
The entry threshold for Shrek Academy was high, and it was even more difficult to stay in Shrek.
Those who could still stay in Shrek Academy after one semester could basically be considered geniuses.
This is one of the reasons why Shrek Academy is a cradle for powerful Soul Masters. The excellent source of students makes it easy for them to cultivate powerful Soul Masters.
The draw results for the top sixty-four were released. Shi Yu's opponents were a team from First Class.
There were three Soul Grandmasters, and no students with Soul Grandmaster cultivation. Generally, teams with Soul Grandmasters were group first.
"Go for it," Jiang Nannan still came to the scene to cheer for Shi Yu.
During this Time, their senior students also reached the Time for their final exams. Time was tight, but if you really talked about free Time, there was a lot of it.
The premise was that you were willing to sacrifice Time to do other things and were not afraid of affecting your final exam results.
Jiang Nannan was willing to spend her Time on Shi Yu. In her opinion, this was the most important thing.
Unconsciously, Shi Yu's weight in her heart had reached a very high level.
Shi Yu smiled and waved to Jiang Nannan, not feeling much tension.
In the previous battles, Senior had actually been somewhat of a bystander, with Dai Huabin being the main force.
It wasn't that Senior wanted to be a bystander, but Dai Huabin was very eager to show himself and didn't give Senior any opportunity to perform.
Those opponents were all Soul Grandmaster level, and Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu alone could handle them. Senior only needed to provide a little assistance.
Senior also didn't particularly want to show off, so Senior was happy to take it easy. If Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu wanted to perform, let them perform.
This match was still the same. After the battle began, Shi Yu used his Displacement skill to displace the weakest of the three opponents.
Senior had used such a move many Times, but it was still effective. This was not something that could be dealt with by being more vigilant.
The opponent did not find the correct way to deal with it, so they could only be displaced by Senior.
As soon as Senior displaced them, Senior used Space to attack. Coupled with Zhu Lu's attack, this person quickly lost.
Dai Huabin, who was displaced, performed strongly and usually did not fall behind when fighting one against two.
After all, it was a Soul Grandmaster fighting Soul Grandmasters, so the advantage was relatively obvious.
They won this match relatively easily again and advanced to the next round.
Their opponents in the top thirty-two were a team from First Class, and they were still defeated relatively easily.
Then came the top sixteen and top eight. They all won and performed strongly, being hailed as a favorite to win the championship.
