Qian Mo sat in the pavilion, meditating with his eyes closed, adjusting his state. Gu Yuena also closed her eyes and rested her head on Qian Mo's shoulder. The two behaved very intimately.
After a while, a simple and honest voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
"Excuse me, young man, is there anyone across from you?"
Qian Mo opened his eyes and saw at first glance a strange combination of a fat boy with a simple smile and a proud girl with a high golden ponytail.
The person who just asked the question was the fair and clean little fat boy.
Qian Mo raised his eyebrows. This strange combination, could it be those two? Is it such a coincidence?
Although there were thousands of thoughts in his mind, Qian Mo's expression did not change at all, and he still had that warm smile.
"No one, please sit down."
Gu Yuena was disturbed by the noise of the two people. She opened her eyes unhappily, looked at the little fat man coldly, and said nothing expressionlessly.
Normally when Gu Yuena faces strangers, she usually looks like an abstinent and cold goddess.
The fat boy and the blonde girl sat down in the pavilion. The two groups looked at each other for a while, and the atmosphere was a little tense. Finally, Qian Mo spoke up to break the silence.
"My name is Qian Mo, her name is Gu Yuena, she is my... um... friend, we are both here to take the inner courtyard assessment."
The little fat man scratched his head and quickly responded: "My name is Xu Lizhi, her name is Ye Xinglan, and we are also here to take the inner courtyard assessment."
Qian Mo nodded slightly and thought: As expected, they are Xu Lizhi and Ye Xinglan, the second of the future Shrek Seven Devils.
Gu Yuena and Ye Xinglan were not enthusiastic or outgoing people, so they just nodded to each other as a greeting since they met by chance.
The fat boy Xu Lizhi looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to this place, so he approached Qian Mo and asked softly: "Brother Qian Mo, do you know how the assessment is conducted in the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy?"
"I don't know," Qian Mo shook his head and replied.
"Why don't we go and ask around together so we can make some preparations?" Xu Lizhi invited.
Qian Mo still shook his head and said confidently: "I don't need it. No matter what the test is, I can definitely pass it."
When these words came out, Xu Lizhi was stunned. Even Ye Xinglan glanced sideways and looked at Qian Mo a few more times, as if trying to determine whether Qian Mo was bragging.
Xu Lizhi laughed dryly and said helplessly: "Brother Qianmo is very courageous. It seems that he must be very talented. But I am different. I am a food-type soul master. I think I still need to make some preparations."
Qian Mo turned his head and looked at Gu Yuena and asked, "Na'er, do you know what the inner courtyard assessment is?"
Originally, Qian Mo just asked subconsciously and didn't have any hope.
But Gu Yuena nodded unexpectedly and said coldly: "I know, my teacher told me."
"Huh? Why didn't you tell me you knew?" Qian Mo asked curiously.
Gu Yuena curled her lips and said teasingly, "Aren't you absolutely confident? Why do you still need to know the content of the assessment?"
"That's true," Qian Mo said proudly, crossing his chest.
"I praised you a few words and you got really cocky." Gu Yuena rolled her eyes.
"If I weren't so crazy, my talent wouldn't be in vain, right?" Qian Mo said.
"Um, sister, can you tell me the content of the inner courtyard assessment? I really need it, please."
Xu Lizhi clasped his hands together and pleaded earnestly.
Gu Yuena glanced at Qian Mo and saw Qian Mo nodded slightly to her, so she told Xu Lizhi the content of the inner courtyard assessment that Leng Yaozhu had told her.
"... To put it bluntly, it's just soul power, mental strength, second profession, etc., but the inner courtyard assessment will be more specific and stricter. It should be noted that the results of each assessment in the inner courtyard are either pass or fail. As long as one of the assessments fails, the student will be declared a failure."
Upon hearing this, Xu Lizhi panicked even more. He thought that the way the internal college assessment was judged was that each assessment item would receive a score, and the scores for each item would be added together. With this method of judging, if he scored low in one item, he could get a high score in another item to offset the score.
However, if you get a low score in any item of the internal college assessment, you will be directly declared a failure.
"Moreover, combat-related assessments are conducted by a single person." Gu Yuena added another quick strike with the knife faintly.
Xu Lizhi cried to Ye Xinglan with a sad face, "Sister Xinglan, what should I do? I feel like I can't pass the test."
Ye Xinglan comforted him softly: "Don't worry, you are a food-type soul master, and I will definitely not make it difficult for you in battle."
Not long after, with Qian Mo and Gu Yuena being at ease and Xu Lizhi being terrified, the time for the inner courtyard assessment arrived.
The main teaching building's door opened, and a handsome man who looked to be in his twenties walked out and said in a clear voice: "My name is Lan Muzi, a student from the inner courtyard, and I am the leader of this inner courtyard assessment. Candidates, please follow me to the assessment site in an orderly manner."
When Qian Mo heard this name, the information about him in the original novel automatically emerged in his mind.
Lan Muzi, the eldest senior brother in the inner courtyard, is extremely talented and is Yun Ming's most promising successor.
His martial soul is called Yang Mu Dao, a very special weapon martial soul, and it is unique and has great value for rubbing.
Under the leadership of Lan Muzi, Qian Mo and his group mixed in with the fifty candidates and entered the building.
We walked through the quaint and elegant hall covered with murals, and appreciated the splendor of the teaching building under Lan Muzi's explanation. After passing two corridors, we finally arrived outside a hall.
The main door of the hall opened, and Lan Muzi pointed to the door opposite the main door and said, "The first level of the test is to pass through the hall within the time limit."
"Everyone, please go in. I wish all the candidates good luck in their exams. I am looking forward to our future life together as classmates!"
"Also, as your future senior brother, let me tell you a piece of news. The elders of Poseidon Pavilion have been observing you all, so you must perform well!" Lan Muzi said mysteriously.
When the candidates heard this, they immediately filed in, eager to perform in front of the elder of Poseidon Pavilion. Who knows, they might be noticed by the elder and accepted as his disciple!
Qian Mo and Gu Yuena looked at each other and stepped into the hall without hesitation.
In the circular hall, the height of this hall is more than 20 meters, and the dome is still covered with murals.
When everyone entered the hall, their bodies trembled unconsciously. A pressure like a mountain pressing down on their heads brought great oppression to everyone's mental strength.
The pressure came from the mural on the dome. There was only one creature in the mural, a huge black dragon with a pair of golden eyes, huge wings spread out, and a dark purple halo emitting from its body. Although it was just a painting, it was extremely vivid and the scales on its body were clearly visible.
