"Teacher, aren't you going with me?" Bai Zhou looked up at Xian Lin'er.
"This is the Martial Soul Department's assessment. What would I do there?" Xian Lin'er rolled her eyes slightly, speechless. "Besides, didn't I already give you my reward?"
Of course, the main reason Xian Lin'er didn't want to go was that she didn't want to see Yan Shaozhe. Seeing Yan Shaozhe would remind her of her past painful memories.
Now she had Bai Zhou and was doing well, so she naturally didn't want to recall the past.
"Okay~"
Bai Zhou was slightly disappointed, but didn't say much.
After all, Xian Lin'er was busy with her affairs, and he was already very satisfied that she could spend so much time with him.
...
After taking a bath and having breakfast with Xian Lin'er, Bai Zhou returned to the outer academy.
At this moment,
the outer academy's freshman plaza was bustling with activity. There were only about three hundred people, all of whom had passed the freshman assessment and become official Shrek Academy students.
Because Huang Chutian's team forfeited, Bai Zhou and Wang Dong directly won the championship, while Huang Chutian's team came in second place.
As for third place, it was shared by Dai Huabin's team and Ning Tian's team.
Originally, another match was needed, but because both teams were extremely excellent, Du Weilun gave them another option—to forfeit the match and directly receive third place and its prize.
Dai Huabin's team was clearly quite shaken by Bai Zhou's performance and naturally had no desire to compete again.
Ning Tian's team, perhaps terrified by the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, also didn't want to face it again, so they agreed as well.
...
On the central platform of the square, a dozen teachers stood behind the Dean of Students, Du Weilun.
Bai Zhou saw Zhou Yi's gloomy face.
Zhou Yi's expression was extremely unpleasant at this moment because the champion was originally from her class, but they had betrayed her and gone to class nine!
She hated traitors like this the most!
Even their own class could betray them; no matter how excellent a student was, there was always a risk of rebellion.
She now regretted not expelling Bai Zhou and Wang Dong immediately!
Behind Zhou Yi was Mu Jin, who was smiling brightly, surrounded by a group of teachers from other classes.
"Congratulations, Ms. Mu Jin! Your student won the championship!"
"Ms. Mu Jin, congratulations! Your application to become a senior teacher has been approved. Starting next semester, you will be a senior teacher at the academy!"
"Ms. Mu Jin, please take good care of us in the future!"
The other teachers looked at Mu Jin with envy and flattery.
Becoming a senior teacher wasn't just about promotion; it also meant more authority, status, and most importantly, more control over resource allocation, plus a higher salary.
"Hmph! It's just good luck. Two traitors entered the class. What's so great about that!" Zhou Yi's face darkened at the teachers' flattery, and she scoffed.
"Hey, Ms. Zhou, watch your words. These two will be the core members of our Shrek Academy in the future. Isn't it a bit much to say that?" a teacher whispered, advising her.
"Exactly! Ms. Zhou should know why they left Class One." another teacher said sarcastically.
"She kicked the students out herself and then blames others, all she has is a good husband..." Similarly, some people spoke with a sour tone.
Zhou Yi faced such a united boycott from so many students and their parents, causing considerable losses to the academy.
Many students were backed by powerful factions cooperating with Shrek Academy, and after Zhou Yi forcibly expelled them, the friendly cooperation between Shrek and these factions naturally collapsed.
If it weren't for Fan Yu from the Soul Guidance Department holding the line, Zhou Yi would have been suspended long ago.
"Crack crack crack—"
Zhou Yi, listening to the sarcastic remarks of the teachers around her, had a face so dark it was almost dripping with water.
If it weren't for the inappropriate setting, she would have already given these useless teachers a good beating.
A bunch of useless Soul Kings, daring to talk about her, a Soul Emperor? Did they really think she was made of clay?
"Alright, quiet down!"
Du Weilun, who was walking at the front, couldn't hold back any longer and whispered a reprimand.
Du Weilun, holding a folder in his hand, slowly walked to the front of the stage, and after smilingly scanning the group of students, he said, "I believe everyone knows that the freshman assessment elimination round has ended. Now, I will officially announce the top three..."
"Third place: Dai Huabin's team and Ning Tian's team are tied!
Second place: Huang Chutian's team!
First place: Bai Zhou's team!"
"Please invite the four winning teams to the stage." "
Clap clap clap—"
As Du Weilun announced, thunderous applause erupted below, and all the students looked at the four teams on the stage with envious eyes.
"The top three teams will all receive a unified reward from the academy. Each member can request a spirit ring from the academy when needed, and the academy will assist them in obtaining a spirit ring that is within their means and most suitable for them."
The next moment, Du Weiren announced the rewards, causing an uproar.
After all, although most of those present were nobles, obtaining a spirit ring that best suited them was still extremely difficult.
Now, however, they could choose their own spirit ring and its age—that was fantastic!
Unfortunately, only the top three received this treatment.
...
However, Bai Zhou was speechless when she heard about the reward.
This Shrek Academy was as stingy as ever.
Those who made it into the top three almost all had powerful backers.
She and Wang Dong, needless to say, didn't need Shrek's help at all.
Ning Tian and Wu Feng came from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Nanmen Yun'er came from the Nanmen family.
Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu came from the Dai and Zhu families, two behemoths, and Cui Yajie's Cui family, the Nine-Tailed Fox family, was also incredibly powerful.
Only the families of Huang Chutian, Lan Luoluo, and Lan Susu were slightly less fortunate, but not to the point of being unable to obtain even a decent thousand-year spirit ring.
These families would naturally enlist their strongest members to acquire the strongest spirit rings for their descendants, never requiring Shrek
Academy to intervene. Of course, this reward could be saved for later when acquiring a ten-thousand-year spirit ring; theoretically, the later it was used, the higher the cost-effectiveness, even if it meant requesting the academy to help obtain a 100,000-year spirit ring.
At this point, the top three students in the assessment would be guaranteed entry into the inner academy.
Entering the inner academy meant becoming a complete servant of Shrek Academy, working for them.
Shrek Academy had an obligation to acquire the most suitable spirit rings for every inner academy disciple.
Therefore, this seemingly highest-level reward was essentially useless.
...
After announcing the rewards for the top three, Du Weilun immediately announced the list of core disciples and prospective core disciples for the outer academy.
Bai Zhou, Wang Dong, and several other Soul Masters were directly promoted to core disciples. Other outstanding Great Soul Masters who didn't advance to Soul Master status, such as Nanmen Yun'er and Cui Yajie, were designated as reserve core disciples, temporarily enjoying the benefits of core disciples.
