963 – Jiayu
TL: GoldenLung

In the Outer Court Dean’s office.

The large screen had already shown several scenes of the second level in succession. The students of the Star Wars Experimental Class had all reached this level and were fighting hard in it.

At this point, the teachers in the Inner Court had already seen what was happening. These children from the Outer Court were really amazing! Almost everyone had a real Spirit Soul helping them in battle, which allowed them to maintain their clarity as much as possible in the Blood Trial. When they were soaked in their bloodlust, their Spirit Soul would come out to protect them, giving them a chance to recover their senses. With the two working together, continuous killing was only a matter of time.

What surprised them was that none of the students showed any fear of killing. By the time they reached the second level and faced so many enemies, they all chose to attack.
This made the teachers in the Inner Court quite satisfied. If the graduates from the Outer Court were to falter when facing a large number of enemies, that would truly disappoint them.

Ying Luohong seemed to have thought of something and adjusted the screen to focus on a student.

Jiayu was already covered in a Two-Word Battle Armor, and he was also a six-ringed Soul Emperor, but he was among the students with the lowest cultivation level. He was one of the weakest in the class. His strongest ability was actually the martial soul fusion technique he completed with Li Han and Li Bin, Bright Moon On The Sea.

But the problem now was that he could only rely on himself. His martial soul was also quite unique, which was summoning marine creatures.

If he was in a place with water, even if it wasn’t seawater, his combat power could be greatly enhanced. If he was in the sea, even with only six rings of cultivation, his combat power could surpass most of the people in the class.
However, the Blood Trial had no water or ocean. The first thing he needed to maintain was the fighting environment of marine life, which greatly consumed his soul power.

More importantly, he was the only one in the class who did not have a Spirit Soul.

Back in the Heaven Luo planet, only he and Lan Xuanyu did not obtain a Spirit Soul. His problem was that he could only choose one that was compatible with his martial soul, which could only be a marine creature. Although the soul beasts on the Heaven Luo planet were willing to follow Lan Xuanyu and his classmates, there were no soul beasts of this type.

Even Li Han, whose martial soul was Tide, had a recognized soul beast, but Jia Yu did not. He had always been the weakest in terms of individual combat power in the class.

Therefore, Ying Luohong adjusted the screen to his side to watch his challenge situation.
Based on the previous trial, the performance of the Star Wars Experimental Class was outstanding, demonstrating strong abilities. The expressions of the teachers present showed that they were satisfied with the trial. Therefore, Ying Luohong now needed to pay more attention to Jia Yu, who was most likely to encounter problems. Although Jia Yu possessed a fusion technique for his martial soul, his personal willpower also needed to be tested in this trial.

At this moment, Jia Yu did not venture into the second level. Instead, he was at the entrance position, where he was a little dumbfounded upon arrival.

Looking at the vast and endless number of enemies, he knew very well that he could not pass this level.

He had no assistance from a Spirit Soul, and his own soul core could not sustain long periods of combat. Moreover, in this kind of environment, it was simply not suitable for his martial soul to perform. From any perspective, this place was the most disadvantageous for him.
Therefore, when he arrived at the entrance, he was a bit stunned. He wasn’t afraid of killing, and he had walked with confidence all the way. His belief came from a simple idea, which was to cherish life.

Initially, he, Li Han and Li Bin were eliminated in the entrance exam. However, because their Bright Moon On The Sea soul fusion technique with Lan Xuanyu’s cooperation could produce a qualitative change, they were allowed to enter the school.

That moment was an absolute surprise for the three of them, especially for Jiayu.

He knew his own shortcomings best. From the day he entered school, Jiayu understood that he had the weakest strength in the class. Although Lan Xuanyu had weak soul power, his talent far surpassed Jiayu’s, not to mention that Lan Xuanyu’s wisdom had already earned him the position of class leader.
Being able to enter Shrek Academy, he had already become the pride of his entire family, and even of his hometown. He cherished this opportunity immensely. Every day, he quietly put in effort, without anyone knowing, and he never fell behind.

At level 65 of soul power, it wasn’t anything special in the Star Wars Experimental Class, where there were plenty of Soul Saints with seven rings. However, considering Jia Yu’s own talent, it was already something to be very proud of.

He was born in a small seaside village, where the majority of awakened martial souls were ocean-type. They were called sea soul masters.

Even his classmates didn’t know that Jia Yu was the first sea soul master in history to be admitted into Shrek Academy. Yes, the first one.
The limitations of Sea Soul Masters were immense. Within the ocean, their strength would multiply, making them much more powerful than Soul Masters of the same level. However, once they left the ocean, their cultivation would be greatly affected and weakened.

In fact, as humans began to explore the stars, the disadvantages of Sea Soul Masters became increasingly apparent. Not to mention a prestigious academy like Shrek, even other higher education institutions would not normally accept Sea Soul Masters.
In such a situation, Jiayu did not fall behind and even rushed to graduation with his companions. It can be imagined how much he had to pay. Without the sea, his progress would be slower than everyone else’s, even slower than Lan Xuanyu’s. He used all of his Shrek badges to buy the qualifications to practice in the Sea God’s Lake. Lan Xuanyu and the others didn’t know that every time they practiced in the Sea God’s Lake, Jiayu was quietly cultivating nearby, immersed in the water. It was with the help of the Sea God’s Lake that his cultivation progress could keep up.
Therefore, Jiayu really cherished the opportunity to study and cultivate at Shrek Academy. Whenever he felt he couldn’t hold on any longer and was about to fall behind his companions, he gritted his teeth and constantly reminded himself of how hard-won everything was. And every time he broke through a bottleneck and experienced the exhilaration of entering another level, he understood that everything he had put in was meaningful.

This feeling completely immersed him, and he truly loved Shrek and everything about it.

He rarely spoke, even when he was with his closest friends Li Han and Li Bin, he just stood by and listened with a smile. But in his heart, his determination was never inferior to anyone else’s. He was very clear about what he wanted.
He was greatly impacted when he was able to enter the Inner Court this time. He never thought that one day he could enter the Inner Court of Shrek Academy. For him, this was definitely the most incredible thing. He was also the first sea soul master to become an Inner Court disciple! His inner cherish was magnified to an unprecedented level, and he had made up his mind that he would never leave the Inner Court, even if he died of exhaustion from cultivation.

Therefore, when Tang Zhenhua said that those who couldn’t pass today’s Blood Trial would be eliminated from the Inner Court, Jiayu’s eyes turned red. After entering the Blood Trial, he didn’t hesitate at all and fought his way through here.

However, when he saw the huge number of thousands of enemies in front of him, he understood that he probably couldn’t pass this level. Even with a strong willpower, if his strength didn’t allow it, he had no way to succeed.
