The mural above the head was painted by a Titled Douluo from Shrek Academy who was good at painting, using ink mixed with a drop of blood of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian.
After the painting is completed, it will emit a strong black dragon's pressure, so Shrek Academy uses this painting to test the mental strength of the candidates.
The first stage of the inner courtyard examination requires candidates to pass through the hall while under tremendous mental pressure from the black dragon.
You know, mental oppression can bring great pain. It is actually very difficult to move your legs under such pain. Therefore, this level not only tests the candidate's mental strength, but also tests the candidate's willpower!
Many candidates fell to the ground as soon as they rushed into the hall. Some of them struggled to get up, but some could not even get up. Some even had to crawl forward for the test.
At this time, Qian Mo's eyes gradually turned golden, and a golden light faintly shone behind his head. The shadow of an angel with eight wings appeared faintly behind him, and he snorted coldly.
"snort!"
The mental power that had entered the middle stage of the spiritual realm boosted with this cold snort, and the black dragon's pressure that enveloped Qianmo disappeared in an instant.
Qian Mo looked up at the mural. When his golden pupils met the flashing golden dragon eyes on the mural, the sword light of the Holy Cross Sword seemed to flash through the void.
The next moment, the golden dragon eyes dimmed a little, and the black dragon's pressure retreated when facing Qian Mo, as if it had encountered a flood or a beast.
Qian Mo raised the corner of his mouth slightly. He dared to suppress him with just a drop of Di Tian's blood. Did he really think that Michael had never killed a dragon?
Gu Yuena, who was standing by, trembled a few times. After a flash of shock in her eyes, she gradually returned to normal.
Not to mention this one. As the incarnation of the Dragon God, the ancestor of the dragon clan, which dragon dares to suppress her?
At this time, in another bright and spacious room, a huge screen was hung on the wall. The screen was neatly divided into fifty screens, and what a candidate did could be clearly observed on each screen.
Opposite the screen there is a long table, behind which sit from left to right a white-haired old woman, a gentle woman with long dark green hair, and an old man with a white beard.
These three are the examiners of this inner courtyard assessment, and they are also the three elders of Poseidon Pavilion, Cai Yue'er, Yali and Zhuoshi.
The inner courtyard students are the most important reserve force of Shrek Academy and the backbone of Shrek Academy in the future. Most of the members of Poseidon Pavilion, the highest institution of Shrek Academy, come from the inner courtyard.
Therefore, Shrek Academy has always attached great importance to the inner school examination, and the elder of the Sea God Pavilion personally serves as the examiner.
"Look, that boy and girl performed very well!" Zhuoshi said, pointing at the two pictures on the screen.
The candidates in the picture were Qian Mo and Gu Yuena. Under the pressure of the black dragon, they looked relaxed and walked briskly, as if they were taking a stroll in the park.
"They are totally unaffected by the black dragon's pressure. The mental strength of these two people is probably almost reaching the middle stage of the spiritual realm." Cai Yue'er commented in surprise.
Zhuo Shi said excitedly: "These two children performed well, where did they come from?"
Sitting between the three people, Yali, the chief examiner of the inner courtyard examination, said gently: "That boy is the apprentice accepted by the master craftsman."
Qian Mo's place in the inner courtyard assessment was given by Yali herself, so she naturally understood Qian Mo's situation.
When Zhuo Shi heard this, he exclaimed, "So that's how it is. He is the disciple of the master craftsman. He is indeed a genius chosen by the master craftsman. He is really extraordinary. Feng Wu Yu, that crazy old man, should be very interested in this kid."
"Hahaha, our Shrek Academy is still strong. Even the disciples of the master craftsmen are willing to come." Zhuoshi said proudly.
Qian Mo and Gu Yuena took the lead, leaving the other candidates far behind and walked out of the hall first.
Xu Lizhi, who was moving his legs in pain at the back, saw this scene and said to Ye Xinglan beside him with a wry smile: "It seems that they didn't lie to us. They really let it go."
"Don't be distracted by talking, and focus all your attention on resisting the pressure from the black dragon." Ye Xinglan said coldly and stopped talking, but a hint of fighting spirit flashed across his eyes as he looked at Qian Mo's back.
When Lan Muzi, who was guarding outside the hall, saw Qian Mo and Gu Yuena, he subconsciously checked the time and said in surprise: "So fast! It seems that the inner courtyard will welcome two more little monsters."
"Senior!" Qian Mo shouted.
Lan Muzi nodded, pointed to the empty hall in front of him, and introduced: "The second level, the hero stage, tests the actual combat ability of a single person."
"This place is built based on the technology of the Tang Sect's Hall of Heroes. It is a simulated combat platform similar to the Spirit Ascension Platform."
"Here, a member of the Shrek Seven Devils in the history of Shrek Academy will serve as your opponent."
"What is the content of the assessment?" Qian Mo asked.
Lan Muzi introduced: "The platform will simulate a member of the Shrek Seven Devils with the same soul power level as you to fight against you. If you can hold out for one incense stick, you will pass."
"Of course," Lan Muzi winked mischievously, "If you can defeat your opponent, the Hero Platform will arrange a higher level opponent for you. The more opponents you defeat, the higher the extra rewards the academy will give you."
On the ground, strange rays of light appeared. These rays were all light silver, and they intertwined with each other, outlining a dazzling picture. The dome above the head also changed.
The silver pattern on the ground disappeared silently and sank into the darkness. At this moment, they seemed to be suspended in the night sky and entered a wonderful world.
Suddenly, the world spun around, and the surrounding scenery changed dramatically, transforming into a ring.
Opposite Qian Mo, a young man with long blue hair appeared.
Cai Yue'er, who was observing Qian Mo, shook her head with regret when she saw Qian Mo's opponent on the hero stage.
"Facing Tang San's ancestor, Qian Mo will have a hard time!"
The next moment, two purple thousand-year soul rings rose under Qian Mo's feet.
"Millennial soul ring? This kid's physical fitness and mental strength are too outstanding." Zhuoshi said in shock.
As Qian Mo's first soul ring flickered, a completely black mask with creepy dark green patterns painted on it suddenly appeared on his face.
The mask of the King of All Monsters painted with a branch, the Demon King with Evil Eyes!
Tang Shenwang? Qian Mo raised his eyebrows. What a coincidence!
Tang San used the Ghost Shadow Steps, creating a series of human figures that were difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake and attacked Qian Mo.
Dark green light shone from Qian Mo's eyes, and his demon eyes sent out a strong mental shock. Tang San's posture suddenly stopped, and his eyes were extremely dull at this time.
The next moment, Qian Mo flipped his wrist, and several dark green branches rose from the ground, wrapping Tang San tightly in a flash.
Tang San struggled desperately, but to no avail. He couldn't break free from the branches of the Demon Eye Demon Tree.
The branches began to secrete highly poisonous juice in a cloud of purple bubbles, and Tang San gradually decomposed in the branches.
