Chapter 153 Ling Yiyi’s words (1/2)
Ji Hongbin nodded to her and said, “Hello, sorry to trouble you.”
Ling Yiyi gave a friendly smile and looked at the 21 Elite Junior Class students behind him. “It’s my duty. Follow me, everyone.”
Her smile was stunning; it gave one the feeling of basking in the spring breeze. She waved, and there were soft brilliant rays. In the next moment, other than Ji Hongbin and Mu Zhongtian, all of the students disappeared.
Mu Zhongtian exclaimed, “I really envy these children! I didn’t have this opportunity when I was younger.”
Ji Hongbin glanced at him, askanced, and said, “As the Elite Junior Class’s form teacher, if they’re selected, you’ll have a chance to further your studies in Shrek Academy too. Do you not have confidence in your students?”
Mu Zhongtian smiled bitterly. “Who dares to say they’re confident before the Shrek Academy, huh? Old Ji, you understand the people in Shrek best. Do you think these kids have a chance of getting in?”
Ji Hongbin shook his head and said, “I have no idea either. Shrek changes their method of assessment every year. I have to say that sometimes, chance plays a part too.”
Mu Zhongtian said, “Which team do you think has the highest chance, then?”
Ji Hongbin answered, “Lan Xuanyu’s team.”
Mu Zhongtian was stunned. “Lan Xuanyu’s team? But based on cultivation, Lu Qianxun’s team should have the highest chance. Lu Qianxun already passed rank 30, Chang Jianyi as well, and Ye Lingtong is at least at rank 28. Their overall strength is the strongest in class, don’t they have the highest chance?”

A rare smile appeared on Ji Hongbin’s face. “You say this because you don’t understand Shrek Academy. Shrek’s motto is to recruit only monsters and not ordinary people. Lu Qianxun’s team is quite strong compared to people of their age. But let me ask you this, in the Federation, are there other students who have the same level of cultivation? How many are there? Even if there aren’t many of them, there wouldn’t only be a handful either. Their Martial Souls are in no way weak, but they are still quite ordinary. Unless they have something special in their field or rely on their extremely strong power to crush their opponents, I don’t have high hopes for them.”
Mu Zhongtian said, “But Lan Xuanyu’s team’s average strength is a little weak! He is a Twin Martial Soul indeed and is extremely special, but his cultivation is quite low. That Martial Soul Fusion technique of his is very evil—he cannot keep using it. Also, Qian Lei and Liu Feng would be in trouble without his enhancement. Thus, their group seems fine sometimes, but if you look closely, they have many flaws.”
“But they are weird enough,” Ji Hongbin said. “Liu Feng’s speed far surpasses normal standards. You should know his data very well. He’s so fast that it’s almost uncontrollable, but what if he could control his speed? We may be unable to guide him to do that, but it doesn’t mean that the Shrek Academy can’t. Among the three of them, the weirdest isn’t Liu Feng or even Lan Xuanyu, but Qian Lei. I’ve never seen this chap’s coin of summoning Martial Soul in my life; even when I was learning in Shrek Academy, I didn’t see it in any records. This could possibly be a brand new Martial Soul, and although it isn’t always reliable, when it is, it allows Qian Lei to be the strongest in the entire class. Just this weird Martial Soul of his alone is worth researching already. Hence, if they could successfully get through the qualifier, they would have a higher chance after that.
Mu Zhongtian suddenly saw the light and said, “I see. Then it seems that if we continue the Elite Junior Class in the future, we should look for newcomers who are weird.”
Ji Hongbin said, “We’ll have to see whether anyone is able to enroll this time first. If not a single one of them is able to get in, then the academy won’t spend so many resources to continue the class.”
“Not three of them?” Mu Zhongtian asked. “Didn’t you say that they will get in as a group?”
“That was the previous time,” Ji Hongbin replied. “I said that to strengthen their teamwork so that they don’t get eliminated for abandoning their teammates. The academy places more emphasis on personal uniqueness and capability during the subsequent tests. As for whether the entire team can get in, it still depends on their personal ability.”
Mu Zhongtian smiled bitterly. “You sure put in a lot of effort.”
With deep meaning in his eyes, Ji Hongbin said, “Shrek Academy’s requirements for the preliminary test have remained for 30,000 years. Following the progress of time and advancement of technology, modern people’s physical attributes and talents are much better than they were 30,000 years ago. Therefore, the standards of then are not considered high anymore, but this is simply following tradition. Shrek Academy only recruits 30 students a year, and it’s not easy to get in at all. Students aren’t simply assessed based on their Soul Power or age; the method of assessment is very strange, but at the end of the day, it still boils down to overall qualities!”
