289 – Klaklakla

“Before the beginning of the assessment, I had warned many times that this assessment was a real battle, not an exercise. That it would be a battle of life and death. However, among you, how many people really understood this ? There are those who were adventurous, those who exhausted themselves prematurely, those who fled alone. I have almost seen everything the darker side of human beings had to offer. Those fifty-eight dead people are all disqualified, Shrek doesn’t want dead people. And as for you those who remain, I will announce later who is eliminated. Think about why you were eliminated. One’s true nature can be seen in a life and death situation, what have you done? No matter where you will go in the future, please remember this battle of life and death. As a warning.”

“All of your gains this time, whether eliminated or not, can be exchanged for resources at Shrek Academy for rewards. Below I read the names listed. Lan Xuanyu.”

Lan Xuanyu was stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect that he would be the first to be called. Although he thought he and his friends should be able to pass the exam but, when Xiao Qi really said his name, he still couldn’t help feeling a little nervous. Was he eliminated or accepted ?

Thinking in his heart, he had already walked out and came to Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi nodded to him, “Brave and intelligent. The best thing you did was to unite the team, keep the team consistent from beginning to end, and lead everyone back safely. The most correct choice you made was during the last day by avoiding fights. Only by knowing when to advance and retreat can one be qualified as leader. In this assessment, you are the first among all candidates. You will be awarded three Shrek Yellow Emblems.”

Hearing his words, Lan Xuanyu only felt relieved as if he had eaten ice cream in his heart, and hurriedly said, “Thank you, teacher.” The lowest level Shrek Emblem was white, and then yellow. A Yellow Emblem could at least be exchanged for ten White Emblems. According to Teacher Ji, Emblems were absolutely good stuff that could be exchanged for cultivation resources. Although he still didn’t know what to exchange for, it was better than nothing! Moreover, he was first, and the reward for the first place was only three Yellow Emblems, which showed how precious a Shrek Emblem was.

And..., first place, he got first place! First place in the comprehensive examination not only meant a guaranteed admission, it was also an incomparable honor. This was Shrek’s assessment. Among the 147 students who participated in the assessment, there was no doubt that Lan Xuanyu was definitely at the bottom in terms of level of cultivation. Nevertheless with his 23 rank soul power, he got first place in the comprehensive exam. Perfect !

“Stand aside.”

“Yes.”

After listening to Lan Xuanyu’s evaluation, his partners were all excited. If Lan Xuanyu’s results were so good, how could theirs be poor ?

Sure enough, Xiao Qi continued : “Yuanen Huihui, step forward.”

Yuanen Huihui walked out with a smile on his face, which looked somewhat mysterious again, but when he looked at Lan Xuanyu, the expression in his eyes held some traces of worship.

“Acting alone, showing strong personal strength in the face of a strong enemy. Although your temperament is lacking, you later played an important role in the team. Your overall ranking is second. Additional award of two Yellow Emblems.”

“Thank you teacher.” Yuanen Huihui thanked him happily, then walked to stand beside Lan Xuanyu.

Next, names were called one by one, which soon included familiar names. Third place was Lan Mengqin, Bing Tianliang sixth, and Dong Qianqiu eighth. Even Qian Lei was 13th. The others were also in the top 30.

“Thirtieth place, Liu Feng. As a scouter, you were coordinated with your team. You cooperated well during the fights, and persisted until the end of the assessment. Your harvest is quite bountiful.”

When Liu Feng finally heard his ranking and that he was in the top 30, his face flushed with excitement, and he dashed in a flash. When he came to Xiao Qi, he was a little incoherent, “Thank you, thank you teacher.”

Xiao Qi glanced at him profoundly, and said: “You should be very clear about your own shortcomings, and I don’t need to say more. Therefore, you need to understand more clearly the path you will tread in the future. Only by working harder than others and by being more tenacious will allow you to truly go on. Talent is always only a part of your strength and never the whole. But tenacity can be the absolute core of one’s progress, understand?”

“Yes, I understand.” Liu Feng nodded vigorously. At this moment, he no longer felt that Teacher Xiao in front of him was scary, that he was even a little gentle. Shrek! Am I really admitted to Shrek?

Undoubtedly, for Lan Xuanyu’s team, they were absolutely successful in this assessment. All nine people had entered the top 30, and also swept the top three. Especially Lan Xuanyu, who won the first place with a 23 rank soul power, and ranked first in the sea selection, trial and final comprehensive assessment. What this meant was obvious. Although his cultivation base was low, his overall qualities were undoubtedly outstanding.

Some people were happy while others were worried, and the faces of candidates at the bottom of the rankings were undoubtedly ugly. Shrek Academy recruited 30 people every year, once the top 30 were known, the next 100 students undoubtedly risked the danger of being eliminated. This was definitely not what they hoped for !

Only those who had finished the final assessment would get their scores announced, as for those who did not, they were naturally eliminated.

After Xiao Qi finished the announcement, he looked at all the candidates who had completed the exam, and said solemnly: “You should know what was being tested this time. In a situation of life and death, you can best see the nature of a person. Although you all are still young, in a way, it can also show one’s most primitive nature. Some have been praised for good grades, and some criticized for poor performance. As a candidate, you are lucky for getting such an opportunity.. Except for the inevitable admission of the top 30, there are a few who have been specially approved for admission. I will notify you separately later. We’ll now proceed to the exchange. All the crystals you got from hunting monsters can be exchanged with Shrek Emblems. Once we return to the academy, regardless of whether you were admitted or not, you can exchange for the corresponding resources at the academy.”

“Lan Xuanyu, your team should start first.” Xiao Qiyan gave Lan Xuanyu a deep look.

Lan Xuanyu was well aware that being able to win first place was likely closely related to their gains. Otherwise, even if they would all pass the assessment, it was still impossible to get such a good result. Even Liu Feng, who had a weaker cultivation base and did not show much potential, had been admitted.

Lan Xuanyu nodded to Lan Mengqin, Lan Mengqin stepped forward, and on the table designated by Xiao Qi, began to take out all of the crystal cores they had harvested.

“Klaklakla!” Ordinary crystal cores quickly filled the table.

This, how much was this...

Not to mention that the other students couldn’t count them, even Lan Mengqin herself didn’t calculate how many ordinary crystal cores they had obtained.

With cores from the boss rank monster, these ordinary cores were no longer important.

Immediately afterwards, what was truly shocking was the appearance of the nearly twenty boss rank fist-sized crystal cores. The last six two-colored crystal cores were especially dazzling. Even those in the military were dumbfounded.

They knew that this was acquired by a team of less than ten children with an average age of twelve! Not to mention how much they killed, the key was their strength, which was really shocking. Even with a regiment of mechas, they were not able to gain so much in three days!

In the end, Lan Mengqin’s expression became solemn, and a light flashed on her bracelet, and a crystal core the size of a human head appeared in her hands.
