Shrek City, the largest city on the Douluo Continent and the largest city in the Federation. It was built by Shrek Academy, which is known as the number one academy on the continent. However, not only is Shrek Academy located here, but also the headquarters of the two major powers, the Tang Sect and the Spirit Pagoda, are located here, making Shrek City a crucial economic and political center in the Federation.
Shrek City is divided into the outer city and the inner city. The residents of Shrek City live in the outer city, while the inner city belongs entirely to Shrek Academy, and non-members of Shrek Academy are not allowed to enter.
Today is the day of Shrek Academy's Inner Court assessment. The Inner Court assessment is very strict, and if outsiders want to participate, they must first have an Inner Court assessment spot given by Shrek Academy.
Having an Inner Court assessment spot allows you to participate in the Inner Court assessment. If you pass the assessment, you will directly enter the Inner Court. If you don't pass the assessment, you can still enter the Outer Court without taking the entrance exam.
Therefore, as long as you have an Inner Court assessment spot, you are guaranteed to enter Shrek Academy. Hence, Inner Court assessment spots are very precious. Shrek Academy only gives out fifty assessment spots each year, and very few people pass.
Today, a soul guidance car with the family crest of the Holy Angel family drove into Shrek City, passed through the bustling and prosperous streets, and stopped in front of the gate of Shrek Inner City.
The car door opened, and a handsome boy with black hair and black eyes got out of the car.
The boy had a smile on his lips, a noble demeanor, and faintly emitted a particularly sacred aura.
He wore a silver scale pendant around his neck and a white trench coat. The trench coat was exquisitely made, with golden threads woven into intricate and beautiful patterns. When the coat was blown by the breeze, it looked as if there was an angel made of golden threads flapping its wings.
The boy looked up at "Shrek Academy" hanging on the tall city gate and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
After more than nine years of transmigration, I, Qian Mo, have finally arrived at Shrek Academy, which runs through the original work.
Half a year has passed, and Qian Mo has arrived at Shrek Academy as promised. I wonder if the other person has kept their promise to him?
Qian Mo's gaze kept scanning the surroundings, finally stopping when he caught sight of the silver-haired girl he had been thinking of day and night.
The silver-haired girl wore a red cross pendant around her neck, her silver hair cascaded down naturally like a waterfall, and she wore a silver fitted suit, looking quite heroic and spirited.
Gu Yuena, who was resting with her eyes closed in the corner, felt something and opened her eyes. Her purple eyes met Qian Mo's deep black eyes.
Deep longing surged in their hearts, and they couldn't help but show a bright smile that came from their hearts.
Seeing the beautiful person he had been thinking of for a long time, Qian Mo tried to suppress the excitement in his heart, his steps light and quick, eagerly walking towards Gu Yuena.
All sorts of emotions surged in his heart, and thousands of words finally turned into one sentence.
"Long time no see, Na'er!"
"Long time no see, A'Mo!" Gu Yuena's lips moved slightly, wanting to speak but hesitating. In the end, she uttered these simple words, which contained deep longing.
The two of them poured out their hearts to each other and expressed their full reservoir of longing. After their heated minds cooled down, they began to inquire about each other's recent situation.
"How have you been since you returned to your family?" Qian Mo asked, pretending not to know Gu Yuena's true situation.
Gu Yuena pretended to be calm and said without changing her expression, "My family is very good to me. They are all very happy about my return and even shed tears of joy."
"How about you?" After telling a simple lie, Gu Yuena quickly changed the subject.
"Me?" Qian Mo raised an eyebrow and said volubly, "Except when I miss you every day, everything is very good. My cultivation has been very smooth. I am already a twenty-eighth level Great Soul Master. I am proficient in all kinds of weapons, and I have cultivated soul guidance devices, forging, mecha manufacturing, and so on to a decent level. I can be called the most versatile and outstanding genius on the continent."
"Hmph," a blush appeared on Gu Yuena's face, and she snorted, "After half a year, you've become even more shameless."
"How am I shameless? I'm just stating the facts," Qian Mo emphasized.
"Okay, okay, you are the strongest, you are the number one genius, it's time to go participate in the Inner Court assessment," Gu Yuena said helplessly, and then pulled Qian Mo towards the entrance of Shrek Academy.
"Hey, wait," Qian Mo pulled Gu Yuena back and asked curiously, "The Inner Court assessment requires a spot. Do you have one?"
"Yes, my teacher gave it to me," Gu Yuena replied.
Qian Mo thought about the plot of the original work and confirmed, "Your teacher, who is it?"
Gu Yuena pursed her lips and said softly, "The Vice Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda, Leng Yaozhu."
As expected, Gu Yuena still chose to join the Spirit Pagoda and became Leng Yaozhu's student, just like in the original work.
"Four-word Battle Armor Master, Heavenly Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu," Qian Mo said.
Gu Yuena nodded and affirmed, "That's right. It was for the sake of our appointment that I asked my teacher to help me get an Inner Court assessment spot."
In the Spirit Pagoda, the relationship between Leng Yaozhu's faction and Shrek Academy is acceptable, so getting a spot is not a problem.
Qian Mo snapped his fingers and said boastfully, "Since everything is ready, let's go and rectify Shrek Academy."
There were two young people in dark green uniforms guarding the city gate.
"We are here to participate in the Inner Court assessment," Qian Mo and Gu Yuena each took out a hexagonal metal plate and handed it over.
The metal plate was a temporary access pass to Shrek Inner City, specially issued for the convenience of students participating in the assessment.
One of the young people walked over and scanned the two metal plates with an instrument. After confirming that there were no problems, he stepped aside to make way and said with a smile, "Please follow the signs to the Outer Court Main Teaching Building to receive the assessment. I wish you both a smooth assessment."
"Thank you!" Qian Mo replied politely and walked into the long-renowned Shrek Inner City with Gu Yuena.
The two of them strolled along the wide bluestone streets with an ancient feel and came to a large square.
Around the square were a large circle of ancient buildings, forming a semi-circle, with various full-body human statues carved on them.
In the center of the fountain in the square stood the statue of Ice Spirit Douluo Huo Yuhao. This square was also named Ice Spirit Square after Huo Yuhao's title.
Qian Mo gazed at Huo Yuhao's statue, his tone indifferent yet full of dominance.
"I will far surpass him, there is no doubt about it!"
"I believe you," Gu Yuena's clear voice sounded in his ear.
The two of them smiled at each other and walked together towards the large circular building in front, which was the Outer Court Main Teaching Building.
At this time, the Inner Court assessment had not yet begun, and the Main Teaching Building was not yet open. There were scattered young soul masters waiting outside the entrance to participate in the Inner Court assessment.
Large areas of green plants and flower beds were arranged outside the teaching building, with small pavilions standing among them.
Qian Mo and Gu Yuena found an empty pavilion and sat down close to each other to rest, waiting for the assessment to begin.
