Among these nine rounds, Arthur noticed a certain girl.
He didn't need to look at the candidate's profile; just based on her Martial Soul, Arthur could guess who she was.
Wu Siduo.
Children, the most insidious one is here.
Wu Siduo possesses the Hell Civet and White Tiger twin spirits. Their compatibility is extremely high, allowing her to unleash the self-Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Hell White Tiger.
Self-Martial Soul Fusion Skill!
The first time Arthur heard this term, he was amazed.
It can be played like this too?
Now, witnessing Wu Siduo's assessment performance firsthand, Arthur felt even more that the self-Martial Soul Fusion Skill was insidiously limitless.
Wu Siduo completed all nine rounds of the assessment alone. She had the White Tiger Martial Soul for strength and the Hell Civet for speed.
If things really didn't work out, she would directly activate her self-Martial Soul Fusion.
Once the Hell White Tiger appeared...
Then it was just a series of
Suppressing everything.
Arthur was a bit envious. Why couldn't his Holy Sword and Holy Spear self-Martial Soul Fusion...? Led by Gu Yue and Na'er, those two mechanism-monsters and stat-monsters, Class Zero was the first to complete the nine rounds.
They arrived at the final tenth round, the Three-Elder Tribunal.
The academy's three Elders would give the final comprehensive score.
The hall of the Three-Elder Tribunal was solemn and majestic. Inside, three dragon-coiled pillars pierced the dome, and on the central high platform sat three... well, two old men and a Little Yellow Hair.
The few members of Class Zero, who had originally been a bit nervous, were dumbfounded when they saw that familiar tuft of yellow hair.
"Arthur?"
Recovering from his shock, Xie Xie subconsciously blurted out, "Didn't you say you were getting a recommendation? Why are you here?"
Tang Wulin also couldn't help but ask, "Arthur, are you a judge?"
"Shut up!" Arthur slammed the table, showing no mercy: "Call me Elder!"
Na'er was already overjoyed and about to rush over: "Brother Arthur, you were here all along!"
"What brother." Arthur's expression was serious and proper: "During the assessment, no familiarity is allowed. Now I am your judge!"
"Oh..." Na'er stopped, lowering her head with a wronged expression.
Gu Yue's face sank in exasperation.
"Hmph." Arthur cleared his throat, trying hard to sternly compose himself with an air of authority, "This Elder bears a heavy responsibility for the academy, specifically to supervise the final assessment scores, not to reminisce with you all."
Beside him, Zhuo Shi's beard trembled as he suppressed a laugh, while Elder Li rubbed his forehead helplessly.
"Alright, back to business." Elder Li spoke, breaking the small interlude in the hall. "Na'er's performance was valiant; I give her ten points for this round, full marks overall. Gu Yue's elemental control is also excellent, and her tactical planning is meticulous, also full marks."
He picked up Xie Xie's score scroll, his tone flat: "Xie Xie, your speed is decent, but you're prone to impatience when facing strong opponents, and your overall strategic vision is lacking. Comprehensive rating: seven points, total score: sixty-nine points."
"Xu Xiaoyan, your support is effective, and your Heart-Nature is resilient, but your Soul Power foundation is slightly weak. Seven points, total score sixty-six points."
"Tang Wulin, to Cultivate Blue Silver Grass to this extent is commendable, eight points, total score seventy-three points."
"Wang Jinxi, your potential is remarkable, six points, total score sixty-five points."
"Zhang Yangzi, your performance wasn't extensive, but luck is also part of strength, six points, total score sixty-three points."
Although they passed, most of them were in the sixties, which still left the Class Zero members a bit disappointed.
But it doesn't matter.
Arthur was here!
"Ahem!" Arthur cleared his throat and loudly announced the scores he gave.
"Na'er, full marks!"
"Gu Yue, full marks!"
"Xie Xie, full marks!"
"Xu Xiaoyan, Tang Wulin..."
"Full marks, full marks! All full marks!"
This made Elder Li, who was beside him, puff out his beard and glare, but there was nothing he could do.
Arthur indeed had this authority, specially granted by the Holy Spirit Douluo.
Afterward, it was Zhuo Shi's turn to give scores.
His scores were also inflated; after all, they were all Wu Zhangkong's students, so he naturally favored them somewhat.
However, he wasn't as shameless as Arthur, who gave full marks directly.
Finally, with the combined scores from the three judges, the grades of the Class Zero members all immediately rose above seventy-five points.
"Brother Arthur, I love you!" Xu Xiaoyan was overjoyed, unable to stop herself from cheering excitedly, even under Na'er's death glare.
"Keep it down, keep it down." Arthur waved his hand... After the Class Zero members left.
Arthur waved his hand: "Next batch!"
A girl walked in, with long wavy hair, fair skin, and cold eyes.
Her figure was tall and slender, her gray eyes narrow and sharp, exuding an aloof and cold aura that kept people at a distance.
Wu Siduo?
Arthur became interested, his hands clasped under his chin, lowering his head slightly so his eyes couldn't be seen.
"First, introduce yourself. And tell us why you came to our company... no, to our academy."
Wu Siduo looked at the Little Yellow Hair sandwiched between the two old men, a bit surprised.
Is this an Elder?
He must be a senior student who was roped in.
She thought so, then calmly said: "Wu Siduo, twin spirits Hell Civet and White Tiger. I heard Shrek gathers the most talented Soul Masters on the continent, so I came."
As her words fell, the hall was silent for a moment.
Her answer was direct and arrogant, without a hint of politeness.
Zhuo Shi stroked his beard and laughed: "Good boy, oh no, good girl! Bold enough, I like it!"
Elder Li's expression remained calm, but he nodded slightly.
Arthur, on the other hand, adopted the demeanor of an Elder, sighing: "The younger generation is formidable, full of vigor."
Wu Siduo felt awkward watching him; she always felt that this "senior student" wasn't even as old as her.
Then came the scores from the three judges, and Wu Siduo passed despite her awkward feelings... Master Su, who had been working hard all day, finally got off work.
After helping the Class Zero members familiarize themselves with Shrek Academy, they gathered in a beverage bar.
"Come on, come on, to celebrate Class Zero's high-scoring pass, this Elder is treating, order whatever you want!" Arthur plopped down, waved his hand, and pushed the menu in front of them, his ahoge swaying with the movement.
Xie Xie's eyes lit up, and he immediately snatched the menu: "Really? Then I want the top-tier Ice Flame Fruit Drink, and three extra portions of pearls!"
"I want a Starry Berry Milk Jelly!" Xu Xiaoyan echoed, secretly glancing at Na'er.
Na'er sat next to Arthur, her arms crossed, and whispered: "I want the same as Brother Arthur."
Huh? Xu Xiaoyan was instantly dumbfounded.
Hajina, you're not forgetting to strategize even now.
Gu Yue quietly said: "Are there any desserts? Give me one of each."
As for Tang Wulin... he had already started eating the bento box he brought from the cafeteria.
"Simple." Arthur snapped his fingers. After the waiter came over and took their order, he instructed: "Send the bill to Sea Gods Pavilion."
The waiter's smile instantly became strained: "Are you joking, sir?"
"Oh." Arthur seemed to realize: "I wasn't clear. Specifically, send it to the Holy Spirit Douluo of Sea Gods Pavilion."
The waiter's face darkened even further.
"I'll do it." Gu Yue sighed, telling the waiter, who was struggling to maintain his composure: "I'll pay later."
