Chapter 152 Encouragement before the qualifier (1/2)
Suddenly hearing this name, all of the students in the Elite Junior Class became shocked. Even Lan Xuanyu and Lu Qianxun, who already guessed it, felt like there was hot blood surging in them, simply because this name was too shocking.
There were too many legends about Shrek, and there were already countless stories related to god-rank elites.
“That’s right, it’s normal for all of you to be surprised. The qualifier that you will be participating in is from Shrek Academy. Only Shrek Academy would have such harsh requirements for the preliminary test; one has to be rank 20 by the age of 12 and rank 30 by the age of 13. This is the closest you will be in getting into the Federation’s top academy, the most sacred ground in the eyes of all Soul Masters. If you miss this chance, most of you are going to be over-age and not have another chance to enroll.”
With Ji Hongbin’s tone of certainty, all 21 students of the Elite Junior Class became even more shocked. They simply couldn’t believe that the establishment of the Elite Junior Class was actually to get into the Shrek Academy. At this very moment, what they would actually be facing was the test.
It could be said that everybody had complained during the usual tough training sessions, but at this moment, they wished that they had worked harder previously so as to better perform during the process of enrollment in Shrek Academy.
Ji Hongbin raised his hand and got everyone to quiet down.
“Shrek is harder to get into than you imagine. The Shrek Academy only recruits once every year, and this time, they are recruiting from the entire Federation. In other words, any planet in the Federation, any city, any academy, any student will have a chance to apply and enroll. And do you know how many age-appropriate candidates there are in the Federation each year? Let me tell you, there are at least over a million. However, I am talking about age and those who are Soul Masters. Those that actually fulfill the preliminary test requirements could easily be over 100,000 people. What about the number of students that Shrek Academy recruits?”
Ji Hongbin stuck three fingers out. “30 students. The same number of students that the Elite Junior Class took in previously, only 30 people.”
This was great—30 out of 100,000, which meant 0.03% chance!
There was only a 0.03% chance of getting into the Shrek Academy.

Many students from the Elite Junior Class couldn’t help but gasp.
“Therefore, the qualifier that all of you will take part in later will be against 100,000 people. Of course, our Heaven Luo planet doesn’t have that many people, but there are definitely at least a few thousands who qualify for the test. To be the top few among thousands isn’t an easy thing either. What all of you need to do is to be the top 100 in the Heaven Luo Planet qualifier before you qualify for the subsequent tests. And the subsequent tests will be held at Douluo Planet itself, mankind’s Mother Planet where the Federation Headquarters is located, because Shrek Academy is there as well.
“Maybe you have this question in your head: why would the academy spend so much effort to groom each of you just to send you off to Shrek Academy? I can tell you what our goal is now. Firstly, the Shrek Academy’s assessment will be the best training for all of you. Even if you fail, it would be a great chance for you to improve, and all of you would be the most outstanding talents in our Heaven Luo Academy. Secondly, if any of you really get into the Shrek Academy and become its official students, then Heaven Luo Academy would be rewarded by the Shrek Academy. For every student who enrolls into the Shrek Academy, a teacher from Heaven Luo Academy will be qualified to engage in advanced studies there for a year. This would be a huge advantage and would benefit an academy like ours.
“So whether it’s the academy’s demanding expectation of you or your own demanding expectation for yourself, all of you must spare no effort to release your brightest light and do your best to get a good placement.
“If you succeed in combat this time, you will have the chance to reach the pinnacle of your life and have a path to heaven. Even if you fail, have no regrets, this is a wonderful experience worth remembering. Understand?”
“Understood!” all the students yelled.
Liu Feng and Qian Lei, who were next to Lan Xuanyu, were so excited that their bodies trembled slightly. They had never thought that someday, they would actually qualify to take part in the Shrek Academy’s admission test!
But here they were, with this opportunity right before them. How could they not be emotional? How could they not be thrilled?
