A few days later, Fang Yang and the others finally completed the nine assessment tasks.
They only needed to pass one more assessment to successfully complete this final exam and return to Shrek Academy.
"Captain, where are we going for our last assessment?" Zhang Yangzi asked, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to Fang Yang, awaiting his answer.
"Hmm... let me think," Fang Yang mused for a moment, just about to speak.
Just then, Wu Changkong, who had been standing silently to the side, suddenly spoke, his voice cold.
"We just received notice from the Academy that the final assessment location for this time has been set for—Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."
"What?!"
Xie Xie exclaimed in surprise, his face filled with disbelief.
It wasn't just him; everyone showed looks of astonishment.
"Um... if we go to Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, will we really not get beaten up?" Tang Wulin asked weakly, with obvious worry in his tone.
"Probably not..."
Xie Xie said with some hesitation, clearly not entirely sure himself.
Fang Yang's expression was calm, and he simply added, "Don't worry, we're definitely getting beaten up."
"Fang Yang."
Wu Changkong glanced at him, a hint of a warning in his tone.
If Xie Xie or Tang Wulin had said that, they would likely have been reprimanded already, but Fang Yang was different.
"Understood, Teacher Wu."
Fang Yang nodded slightly, saying no more.
Although he didn't want to represent Shrek Academy in a competition at Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, on second thought, Shrek Academy would eventually become his own, so he no longer objected.
Ten thousand years ago, when the Sun Moon Continent collided and merged with the Douluo Continent, the relationship between the two continents was once irreconcilable.
Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Shrek Academy represented the Peak academies of their respective continents.
They had clashed multiple times in the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, resulting in severe casualties and deep-seated animosity over many tournaments.
Later, Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao even caused an earth-shattering explosion in Mingdu, killing countless innocent civilians.
Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was almost completely destroyed, and this disaster left an indelible scar in the hearts of the Sun Moon Empire's people.
From then on, both the Sun Moon Empire and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy harbored deep hatred for Shrek Academy.
To this day, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy remains one of the forces openly hostile to Shrek Academy.
"You represent Shrek Academy; in this battle, you are only allowed to win, not lose."
Wu Changkong's gaze swept over everyone, his voice cold, "I will accompany you as the team leader."
"If you win, your assessment scores will be perfect; if you lose, your scores will all be failing."
Tang Wulin couldn't help but speak, "Teacher Wu, isn't that a bit too..."
Wu Changkong gave him a faint look, and Tang Wulin immediately fell silent, not continuing his sentence... Mingdu!
The most modernized city on the Douluo Continent, Mingdu was situated in the western part of the Continent, serving as its entire western core.
Wu Changkong led the group through Mingdu, heading towards Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
The architectural style of Mingdu was very different from Shrek City.
Shrek City was relatively more humanistic, a perfect blend of classical and modern, while Mingdu was a pure high-tech steel jungle.
Tall buildings stood one after another, each with its unique design, and many buildings had strange and peculiar shapes, particularly eye-catching.
In terms of city area, Mingdu might not be as vast as Shrek City, but in terms of building density and population, it definitely far exceeded Shrek City.
Two hours later.
After traveling for a long time within the vast Mingdu, everyone arrived at a magnificent, uniquely shaped giant cylindrical metal building.
At the top of the building were several large characters: Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
They had arrived!
Just then, Xie Xie suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Eh? Teacher Shen? Why are you all here?"
Hearing this, everyone's gaze turned over.
Not far away, it was indeed the Genius Team led by Shen Yi.
Under her arrangement, Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi had joined this team.
Shen Yi was leading Wu Sido, Zheng Yiran, and others over.
They were all dejected, their Spirits noticeably low, and many of them still bore traces of battle.
"Senior Brother, I'm sorry..."
Shen Yi walked up to Wu Changkong, her voice low, "We... lost."
"It's fine."
Wu Changkong's voice was calm, showing no ripples, "Leave it to us."
His gaze swept over the Zero Class members behind him, carrying an undeniable trust.
"The leader of Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is very strong," Luo Guixing walked over and added, his expression very solemn, "His Spirit is... Holy Light Dragon."
"Holy Light Dragon?!" Xie Xie was somewhat surprised.
Among Dragon Spirits, the Holy Light Dragon was already a powerful existence at the Peak level.
"Then you didn't lose unfairly," Fang Yang commented indifferently, stating the facts in a calm tone.
He knew in his heart that in the original work, the leader of Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy not only had the Holy Light Dragon Spirit, but also possessed a Soul Fusion Skill as a trump card in his team.
Even if the Genius Team could temporarily suppress the Holy Light Dragon, they would struggle to withstand the opponent's final trump card.
Luo Guixing's lips moved, but he ultimately didn't retort. He just sighed helplessly; they had indeed lost without a doubt... On the other side, Xie Xie had already run to the dejected Zheng Yiran.
After saying some comforting words, the originally crestfallen Zheng Yiran actually brightened up again, cheering up considerably.
Ye Xinglan also walked over. Her gaze fell on Fang Yang, "I believe you will definitely win."
Fang Yang met her gaze, nodded slightly, his tone calm but containing strong confidence: "Don't worry, we won't lose."
Subsequently, Wu Changkong looked at all the members of the Zero Class Team, his voice cold: "Just now, the team led by Teacher Shen has been defeated. Now, it's our turn."
"Remember, you represent the honor of Shrek Academy."
"Yes!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Immediately after, to everyone's surprise, Wu Changkong calmly took out a Soul Tool amplifier.
He faced the magnificent metal building of Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and his voice, amplified by the Soul Tool, resounded across the plaza.
"Students of Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, listen up! We are from Shrek Academy."
"We are here today to let you witness with your own eyes what the true Peak of the Continent is!"
"Recognize the insurmountable gap between you and the strongest Academy!"
This sudden and highly provocative declaration made everyone in the Zero Class Team secretly click their tongues.
"Holy cow! Teacher Wu is too ruthless!" Xie Xie whispered, his face, however, filled with excitement.
Even Fang Yang's mouth twitched slightly.
On the other side, Luo Guixing looked at this familiar scene, his expression complex as he turned to Shen Yi: "Teacher Shen, this..."
Shen Yi coughed lightly, a bit awkwardly, and explained: "This is... a tradition that our Shrek Academy has continued for many years."
"It's... a preemptive strike, you could say."
The members of the Genius Team fell into collective silence upon hearing this.
