Chapter 109: The Episode with the Fastest Death Efficiency
"These kinds of chaotic tests are commonplace in Shrek Academy's inner court. If you can't adapt to this kind of chaotic test, then it just means you're not qualified to be inner court disciples at all."
Xuanzi's expression gradually turned serious.
"Do you know what the inner court disciples faced during their most difficult times?"
No one noticed the fleeting look of reminiscence and pain in Xuanzi's eyes.
"That time, there were twelve inner court disciples who, after being separated from their teachers, encountered a 100,000-year-old soul beast. However, thanks to their strong perseverance and courage, four of them survived at the cost of eight deaths."
"The four survivors are now among the top in the inner academy, and one of them even obtained the soul ring and soul bone of that 100,000-year-old soul beast."
"What I want to tell you is that studying in the academy will not make you a true strong person. It is in life-or-death crises that your true potential will be revealed."
"Your status as core disciples is merely the opening of the inner academy's gates. To truly enter the inner academy, you must possess the courage to disregard life and death."
"I'm telling you this in advance today: no matter what your background or origin, once you enter Shrek Academy's inner court, you truly become a member of Shrek Academy. You will carry the mark of Shrek for life, and you will even face life-or-death crises every moment. Therefore, the first thing students do upon becoming inner court disciples is to sign a life-or-death agreement."
"Shrek Academy has very few inner court disciples, not even more than fifty. This is not because the academy has too high requirements, but because inner court disciples die every year."
Wang Dong'er picked her ear. Xuanzi still had a proud and smug look on his face, as if the high mortality rate of Shrek Academy students was something extraordinary.
That's absolutely amazing.
To be fair, one of the things Xuanzi said was actually quite correct. No matter what, the academy is just a place for learning; true growth can only be achieved outside of academia.
But apart from that sentence, Xuanzi talked about Shrek Academy almost every other time, and all he said was nonsense.
The story he told didn't even dare to clarify whose responsibility it was; he left it all to the students to imagine that the twelve students were just unlucky.
They were indeed unlucky to have Xuanzi as their team leader.
Eight out of twelve people died at once, making it the fastest death rate in Shrek Academy's history.
At that time, Xuanzi even had the title of Shrek Academy's number one genius.
[Mission: The episode with the fastest death rate]
Task Description: The true Holy Spirit Cult's Supreme Elder Xuanzi is deceiving people again. You intend to expose his story, but you must proceed cautiously.
Upon receiving this long-awaited, significant task, Wang Dong'er raised an eyebrow. However, after a moment's thought, she suppressed the urge to immediately confront them and instead asked in a curious tone, "Teacher, why did those twelve senior students get separated from the teachers? Was it because one of the teachers failed to supervise them properly?"
Xuanzi's expression froze, and the emotions and atmosphere that had just been stirred up suddenly quieted down.
These students don't know, but how could he not know?
Wang Yan, who was also aware of the inside story, immediately changed his expression, coughed lightly, stepped forward, and said, "That instructor was unlucky and happened to be entangled by a soul beast, which is why he couldn't pay attention to the situation of the twelve students."
Wang Dong'er didn't press the issue to get to the bottom of it. Sometimes, all you need to do is leave a blank space and dig a hole, and someone will willingly jump in.
"I see. It seems that the soul beast must be a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, to be able to hold back a teacher who can lead the inner court disciples. Encountering two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts at the same time, this is indeed bad luck," Wang Dong'er said with feigned sigh.
No matter how you look at it, what Wang Dong'er said seemed perfectly normal, but there was something inexplicably sarcastic about it.
But looking at Wang Dong'er's "innocent" expression, no one could say anything.
Xiao Xiao didn't know if it was because she had been hanging out with Wang Dong'er for a long time or because Wang Dong'er had enlightened her after she ate the whale glue, but she suddenly understood the hidden meaning in Wang Dong'er's words.
Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan, the three fifth-year students, are all Soul Masters. Inner Academy disciples should at least be Soul Kings, right?
According to the story Xuanzi just told, one of the students absorbed the soul ring of that 100,000-year-old soul beast.
According to the understanding of ordinary soul masters, a 100,000-year soul ring is not only extremely rare, but also something that only a ninth soul ring can withstand.
But Shrek Academy is wealthy and powerful, and it might be able to cultivate someone who can withstand a 100,000-year soul ring ahead of time, just like Wang Dong'er's 1,000-year second soul ring and 10,000-year fourth soul ring.
In other words, the strongest student in the team at that time must have had a cultivation level of at least level 80 in order to absorb that 100,000-year soul ring.
The students are already at level 80, so how could the teacher leading the team have a low cultivation level? He should at least be a Title Douluo, or even a Super Douluo.
The probability of a teacher and students getting separated and then encountering two 100,000-year-old soul beasts at the same time, making it impossible to find and rescue the students in time, is extremely low.
So, the cunning frog keeps touching your belly!
It must all be the fault of that teacher in charge!
Xiao Xiao glanced at the feigned calm on Xuan Zi's face and had a premonition that the teacher who led the team back then must be this disheveled old man in front of her.
That way, everything makes sense.
Having deduced the true nature of the event, Xiao Xiao looked completely satisfied.
Unfortunately, she couldn't say anything in this situation. After all, there was the precedent of when she first met Yan Shaozhe, and she was worried that Xuanzi would change his expression in the next second.
Distracted by Wang Dong'er, Xuanzi, who originally wanted to tell more about the Shrek Seven Devils and Shrek Academy to increase the sense of honor among these core disciples, lost interest.
Xuanzi waved for Wang Yan to leave, then said listlessly, "Do you know what the real purpose of today's selection competition is?"
Wang Yan was taken aback. Why did they just say that? There were still those eliminated trainees here.
Before anyone could even guess, Xuanzi gave the answer himself.
"The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament".
"Every year during the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, the academy will send an inner court disciple team to participate. A month in advance, a core disciple selection competition will be held to select the seven most outstanding people to form a reserve team as substitute players to watch the game."
"If given the opportunity, substitute players can still play."
"Originally, the academy planned to take only these fourteen students to the competition, but this year I have decided to change it."
With that, Xuanzi scanned the entire audience, "This year, all thirty of you will be going to the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament to watch the matches!"
When Xuanzi said this, not only the students but even the teachers were astonished.
