Journey to the Shrek!

Skyorder City's Spirit Pagoda

Fan Lin went to the reception and asked the receptionist for his spirit soul procurement process.

The receptionist then guided him to the spirit soul acquisition floor and left him with another Spirit Pagoda staff.

"Sir, we need to check your spiritual power first before proceeding further."

The staff person said while taking Fan Lin to the Spiritual Power measuring room.

Fan Lin did the previous antics: got into the machine, strapped himself and let the machine check his spiritual power.

Dun Dun Dun Ding.

300.

"We are done Sir. You have quite high spiritual power, with this amount, you can have a thousand year spirit soul without any problem."

The staff said and took Fan Lin back to the previous hall.

"So Sir, what Spirit Soul or combat path would you like to have? Considering your martial soul Blue Silver Grass and its tenacity, you can choose any of the thousand year old spirit soul and won't face much trouble in the assimilation of the spirit ring."

The staff person politely explained.

Fan Lin calmly listened to the staff and then asked for the physical list of the thousand year old spirit souls to decide.

He had been in the Douluo world for a long time and most of his personal made decison turned out to have drastic downsides.

Now he had learnt his lesson and would take help from others when needed.

The staff politely nodded his head and presented the thousand year old spirit souls list to Fan Lin.

Fan Lin checked all the different spirit souls in the list and finally chose one after a lot of deliberation.

"Is this one available?"

"That is indeed available. Is this what you want Sir?"

"Yeah."

"Okay, let me ask the staff to prepare it for you. Would you like to absorb the spirit soul in the Spirit Pagoda or would you take it with yourself?"

"I will absorb it in the Spirit Pagoda."

"Then follow me Sir. I will take you to your Spirit soul absorption chamber."

The staff person said with a smile and signalled for Fan Lin to follow him.

They both took a lift and got down. The lift stopped at an unknown floor and they went towards an area full of rooms that were flashing with different lights.

"Different lights signify the different age of the spirit souls that are absorbed by the person inside the rooms while the lights on the ceiling above the room is to know which room is in use and which is empty."

The staff person said and they finally reached the purple area after taking many corners.

The Spirit Pagoda member checked his watch and stopped in front of a room, soon another staff came with a trolley and after some virtual fiddlings, the staff took an oval shape ball from the trolley and gave it to Fan Lin.

"Here is your Spirit Soul Sir. This is your room and since you are under Rank 30 Soul Elder, you will be charged nothing. Have a nice day."

The staff said that and left the vicinity.

Fan Lin looked at the disappearing backs of the staff deep in thought and chose to enter the room.

'They didn't treat me like this the first time though?'

He closed the room, took out his upper clothing and sat down in the middle of the room.

He looked at the oval ball and released the spirit soul inside it.

It was a grass that looked scarily similar to the one he had as his Martial soul.

It was a Blue Silver Grass crossbreed variant that the Spirit Pagoda made after mixing it with a thousand year old Icy cone Tulip.

It's name, Blue Silver Grass - Variant - Icy Tulip.

Fan Lin chose this one among all the other spirit souls due to two reasons.

One being that even if the God changed his spirit soul skill, he will still get the passive benefits of the spirit soul into his Martial Soul.

And secondly, even if somehow the God didn't change his spirit soul skill, the skill that he will gain from a thousand year old spirit soul with added attribute of ice is a good trade considering it was icicle storm.

Lastly it was the only one that hadn't been taken in by anyone and was at a discounted rate.

His previous endeavour of creating a Three Word Battle Armor piece took far more that he had liked and unfortunately after his spending his bribe to all the officials to gain the Shrek's entrance examinations seat and Spirit Pagoda's Spiritual Ascension platform seat costed quiet a lot as well.

He now had a shortage of money.

He still didn't know how all the money that he personally acquired went into puff.

And now didn't care.

Fan Lin closed his eyes and opened it again.

'how do I absorb a plant type Spirit soul? Do I have to strangle the plant? It wasn't written in the manual that I read the last time as well.'

'And if it's like that, how the heck do all those students with hammer and sword spirit soul absorb their spirit soul?'

He got up from the ground and called for enquiry from the staff. The staff contacted him and told him the process to absorb the Spirit soul.

It was to absorb it whole. That's it. Plant and tool type Spirit soul doesn't need to be killed, you can just absorb it whole.

Fan Lin thanked the staff and went to absorb the spirit soul.

....

Three hours later.

Fan Lin slowly opened his eyes and looked at the turquoise green coloured Spirit Ring that was floating beside him.

It was his second spirit ring.

"A coloured ring?"

He mumbled in confusion. If he had looked at his his face than he would have found something different coloured as well.

His irises had turned yellow.

[The same yellow as Daimondhead's eyes]

He put the weird colour of the ring aside and thought of the spirit soul ability of his second spirit ring.

And with that came a panel.

[Soul Ability Icicle cage turned into Crystallokinesis]

[Crystallokinesis - Allows complete usage of the Petrosapien's Crystallokinesis.]

[How have you been? Good as usual. Considering you, you must be.

Everything's good here as well. Net geek's a trouble but don't worry he is fine. He sure has his temper though.

This is a recorded message.

From God ]

[P.S - Wanna know more about it? Read it on the next panel. You know how to get it.]

Fan Lin read the message of the God. It was an unusual one.

"I know the way? It must be the same as the previous and the current one then. So I will get the next panel when I breakthrough to rank 30. Good to know.'

"Net geek's fine as well. Looks like he is having a little bit of trouble though, or he seldom shows his actual emotions."

"What about the others? Hope they are fine as well."

"I wonder why I can't remember the exact details of some of the events of my past life now. I wonder."

Fan Lin got up and used his second soul skill.

A green crystalline entropy rose from the ground in a second.

Fan Lin looked at the crystals and then at his second soul ring, he felt something eerily familiar about this situation.

It was when his eyes darted towards his reflection and the yellow irises that it had that he remembered exactly why it was all familiar.

Petrosapien meant Daimondhead. A creature from Net Geeks cartoon.

And at that moment, Fan Lin got the related usage and abilities of the Crystallokinesis.

It was as if the information was waiting for him to remember.

He shook his head a little and then went out. Compared to the pain of having his body ripped apart in the regeneration implosions, the sudden headache he got from the information boom was like a small pinch.

"I might either have a really high pain tolerance or I might be a masochist in this life. Regardless of whatever it is, I don't like anyone of it."

Fan Lin got dressed, unsummoned the green crystal and left the room.

After asking for directions and reaching the Spirit Pagoda, he paid for the spirit souls and left the premise.

Six hours later.

A cab stopped and Fan Lin slowly got out of it. He entered the academy and went towards his dorm to sleep.

He had formed a habit of sleeping when a really impactful moment of his life had happened in front of him.

It was to refresh his mind and intentions because he had realised a really stupid thing of his Fan Lin self.

He made lots of decisions on the spur of the moment or emotion.

He as Gloomy Forest, can't approve of that, even though accepting himself as Fan Lin was a decision of his.

But after some thought, being flexible and using all the properties of all his selves was the best idea that he got as his Gloomy Forest self.

He needed to achieve some better goals and he can't miss them due to brittle decisions that were made on the spur of the moment.

And with that, Fan Lin went to sleep.

His day was tiresome and so was his upcoming life and he knew that because 90% of his problems came from him.

...

The next day.

Fan Lin woke up refreshed and still had the thoughts of taking over the world.

"Guess it's an unconditional wish of mine then. On towards it, but first let's wash up and attend classes amidst in the confused murmurings of the students once again."

'It's the second time that I had taken a week leave then returned to classes the next day.'

But this time, there was a small difference. The students were less on their toes and some of them even made some small talks and jokes on his sudden appearance.

After a month of not doing anything but properly attending classes and being respectful to the teachers, the pressure and fear that the students around him faced seem to disappear, along with the killing intent that Fan Lin regularly released, and the class was in a peaceful environment.

Fan Lin seemed to be satisfied with everything.

The students were happy; The teachers were happy; Everyone were happy.

And just like that, five months passed.

Fan Lin went to the Spirit Pagoda to attend to his Spirit Ascension plane quotas and with the addition of the Crystallokinesis, he was nearly hated by all the 1000 participants of the elementary Spirit Ascension plane that participated on those days with him.

He trapped the people and killed them, threw the crystal shards at breakneck speeds and killed them, exploded the shards near or in them and killed them, and even let them be slaughtered by the other spirit beasts by encasing them into crystal shards and killed them.

All the while doing nothing to the soul beasts, the main source of spirit energy in the Spirit Ascension plane and hunting the humans, who provided really low amounts of spirit energy and were less than a thousand in quantity as if he had some form of blood enmity with them.

If not for the fact that the Spirit Pagoda protected his identity, he might have some jealous and angry repercussions in the real life, except no one knew who would be the ones to die if they did so.

Many of the Skyorder City's Spirit Pagoda staff got to know about the monthly demon with five tickets who liked to hunt humans for fun; his reasons for doing so still in the mysteries, but they did monitor his every moment in the Spirit Ascension platform to find some clues.

It was all in vain though and considering that they only got five total chances, and Fan Lin's insane speed of killing from his green coloured second Spirit Ring, the data that they collected on him seemed like they were making a promotional video of him.

"It was enough to showcase his lethality and skills but didn't perfectly capture the extent of his abilities."

Words from the Spirit Pagoda staff.

...

Fan Lin looked at the passing by Shinning Moon Academy while thinking of his time there.

To him, this was the most peaceful time of his life in the new world. He didn't kill, planned to kill or trained like a maniac in the Shining Moon Academy.

He was thankful for his pleasent time with the academy and hence rewarded them with some money.

'Sounds like I am a high born doing charity, even though my feelings are sincere.'

The past six months in the Earthrock Alliance was an eye opener for Fan Lin, mainly due to a few things.

He remembered many of his forgotten memories and realised that what he considered himself and his past self may not be the actual truth.

He could be worse.

And he past that he knew could be fabricated as well.

Some things didn't make much sense and considering that he was somehow sent into a new world by a power that is basically something he had no knowledge of, aka God.

His memories might have been twisted and twinkled to suit the purpose of the plan that the so called God wanted him for.

'Maybe even the thought that it is all planned and I am just following a written script is something that I am having due to his interference as well.'

'Whatever it may be, I will get to my goal and if I can't, then I will commit suicide. It's not like he can make me do anything after that.'

'Or he could, considering that he could erase and rewrite my memories, he could just revive me, erase some of my memories of my past life and programme me to act a certain way in my new life.'

'Even I could do that, so yeah, that God should be able to do that as well.'

'Does that mean that some form of me in some other simulation committed suicide or just did something that didn't suit with the plans of that God or...'

'It could be that a version of me that was able to leave everything behind and live a fulfilling happy live. Considering that this whole reincarnation drama is just a punishment venue, if I was able to enjoy it, there would have been no meaning to it.'

'So did that God just erased that self of mine and messed with my memories and gave me all the bad memories of my past life so that I can act like a human slaughter fest psycho so he can further make my life hard?'

'To a being that is capable of not just reincarnating me into a new world but also giving me the strength to change it, he didn't give me my full memories, sounds fishy. Plus he knew of the things that I did in my last life, so of course, he could.'

'And the memories that I have contain all my knowledge of poisons, some medicines and even some unnecessary commercials and books yet many of my interactions with my friends, colleagues and Savitri are missing.'

'Memories maketh a person.'

'I have some of my last memories but what lead to them, that's also missing.'

'?'

'So in some really wild scenario, what if, that God has been making me go through all this again and again while trying to reach that one version of me that is the most pitiful and also the one that's actually suffering in all of on my punishment?'

'So does that mean that I have a predecessor self that had been reincarnated into this world and then on not being the perfect victim, was erased of his memories and I am the new one that was sent with different parts of my memories, leading to different actions?'

'How did I join the organisation? I think they came to me through the old man. Yeah. I joined them on my free will.'

'Hmmm. All this thinking about the purpose of my existence and life is making me feel pessimistic about the world. I am glad that I chose science instead of God. I can at least blame on my self when failing.'

"Your stop is here."

The cab driver said to me as I looked towards the soul train station.

"Hmm."

I got out of the cab and off to the station. From here, I just have to take a train for Shrek Academy.

An hour later.

I am on my way to the Shrek City.

As I watch the scenary around me change through the windows, I realise that quite a lot of things are different from my old world.

Maybe the previous thinking about my existence had awakened this thirst for comparison in myself.

Maybe... I am just bored. I sat four hours in the cab. Now I have to sit nine more hours till the Shrek City.

So as I looked at the passing by scenery, I realised that it was different from my past world.

Considering that seventh-tenth of the world was not livable for the humans, the interstate trains were shut down at many places.

Less than three hundred million people were left alive on the planet.

I wonder who did that though. Well I did that. Didn't I? I did.

Did I?

Yeah I did.

I think.

Why did I leave the forest though?

Can't remember. I... do remember about some girl that I once read about...

I think her name was Shimeji. Yeah Shimeji.

Although I don't understand how does all that relate to me watching the scenery outside.

Well I am not exactly watching the scenery though, considering it is just flashing by my sight in a second.

And its just buildings, trees, parks and underground pathways.

Hmmm. I did remember that quite a lot of them died by the poisons that were released. Captain ordered me to contain it.

I did. Then why...?

"...."

The past six months were good. Let's change the subject.

I am level 26 Soul Grandmaster. The exact requirement that was needed. I also have a quota from an Alliance registered school.

Three days later, I can take the exams. I wonder what they will be.

My spirit rings are weird though.

My first spirit ring finally crossed to the hundred year old spirit soul mark during my last hunt. Now it evolved to...

[ Your soul skill Ultimate digestion evolved to Energy body.

Energy body: Active skill. When used, absorbs soul energy from the surrounding. Provides complete digestion of food.]

"THE OFFICIAL ENERGY BODY!!!!!"

'I finally got it after all this failures but I am not happy.'

[Pov change]

It was thanks to this that he can become a level 26 soul Grandmaster so fast.

The best thing to happen to him was the second spirit ring after coming to this world though.

'Quite a lot of good things happened to me.'

The soul skill was overwhelming. It didn't follow the system of this world.

The only downside was that it needed spirit power to control it. Even the range was dependent on spirit power. Every bit of it depended on Spirit power.

When he first got this soul skill the range was 3 meters around him. It can appear from any place of the ground in this two meters. Later it increased to 4 meters. Now it was 5 meters.

It can appear from any place on the ground in the 5 meter radius around him. His control also got better on it.

And adding to this, Blue Silver Grass that could do the same, except it was weaker and more elasticated than the crystal shards but it has ice elements to it. It was icy.

It was godly overpowering.

Soon, time passed and he reached the Shrek City in night.

The train slowed when it neared their destination.

Then, an announcement sounded which Fan Lin ignored and left the station for.

"Dear guests and travellers, we have arrived at the greatest city on the Douluo Continent, Shrek City. Shrek City's roots extend tens of thousands of years and is a cultural hub. The legendary Shrek Academy was founded here, as well as the Spirit Pagoda headquarters. As the number one city in the Federation, Shrek City boasts immense economic and political influence. Everyone, please take a look out the left window. The tower in the distance is the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda."

He looked at the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters and went to find a room to stay.

He couldn't find one.

[Flashback]

"Let's find an inn first."

The word 'luxury' didn't exist in the dictionary of the inn that Wu Zhangkong chose, simply finding one that was near the station and booked three rooms.

[Flashback ends]

"The protagonist group was able to get not one but three rooms when they needed it; I couldn't even find one. That's not fair."

Fan Lin said to no one and booked a cab for Shrek Academy.

'I will just sleep outside today.'

...

The next morning.

"Hey! get up and leave!"

Fan Lin was woken up by the guards patrolling the area and he was sure that it wasn't done politely at all.

"I am."

He got up from the ground, packed his sleeping bag in the storage soul guide and left the area in the watchful eyes of the patrol men.

"Two more days left before the Shrek's entrance examinations. What should I do till then?"

Fan Lin said as he took out a tomato to eat.

"Let's go to the Spirit Pagoda to wait for the two days. They don't ask the people to leave their lobbies and they have lots of space with lots of free people with nothing else but time on their hands."

Fan Lin booked a cab and went to the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters while thinking of why didn't he think about this the past night.

He reached the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, showed his ID, asked if he can sleep in the lounge and then found a lone spot, took out his sleeping bag and slept in a lonely corner of the reception floor.

As for doing other things, he had none.

He didn't need to eat everyday due to his Energy body, not did he need to bath or brush his teeth or toilet breaks.

With the Energy body, none of it mattered or existed.

He just needed to eat once every fifty days to survive if push comes to shove, and with the addition of his upgraded soul skill Energy body, he might just not need to eat.

Although it was just a speculation of his as he hadn't tested on this matter, neither did he think that a test of this type was required.

His current body was still malleable though and he couldn't do any of the heavy physical activities so last moment physical training didn't exist for him.

As for others, he already had the entrance examinations quota and with his second soul skill, Fan Lin was sure that he was undefeated and invincible under four soul rings (level 40 Soul Ancestor).

Even Soul Kings might not be a match for him and he knew the future.

Shrek didn't have that many good students during the time of Tang Wulin's examinations and classes.

Fan Lin was taking the exams that was held three years before the one that Wulin took.

And Fan Lin might have been a little arrogant but he was indeed excellent in all aspects and no one his age was his match because DAIMONDHEAD.

That's all and that was enough.

And now, he could just laze or sightsee or just laze again.

He chose to sleep.

Sleeping was good for his mentality and a counterbalance that kept his 'bad' thoughts in check because after waking up, he often spaced out into the blissful memories of his past.

Memories that he remembered.

As for them being true or just a falsification of his brain or maybe that God was something that he had long lost interest in.

He... just wanted a simple life where nothing that he had done will repeat itself.

And what he wanted was already doomed the moment he came into a new world.

So he was just lying about his desires.

Or is he.

'Sometimes I think, exactly whom am I having this thoughts for.'

'I couldn't be a voyeur or an exhibitionist?'

'That came out of nowhere.'

'But now that I think about it, my life has no actual or proper goal, I haven't set it.'

'All are things that could be accomplished with a thought of 'mine' but do I dare.'

'Dare do I; Or else what did 'I' do?'

"People say dreams have often meaning. How does my dream about cauliflower passing by the lake with blood and lava flowing through their mouths while I am thinking about my self, is to be interpreted?"

Fan Lin said to the cleaning staff after waking up.

The cleaner looked at his yellowish irises and hurried away from there.

"Guess I am a little scary when I release my killing intent."

"It's already night, one more day before the exams."

*Sigh*

Fan Lin got up from the ground, packed his Sleeping bag into the storage soul guide and left the area.

...

Fan Lin strolled around the city looking for things to pass time and finally went to a park to cultivate.

Shrek City has nothing more to offer him except for food, bars, auction houses and item shops which he had no interest in.

He had a piece of a three word Battle Armor and he wasn't keen on using a Soul Bone to enhance his strength.

As for weaponary and all those hidden soul guides, his cultivation level didn't allow him to use any of the good ones, he was still just a Spirit Grandmaster.

He looked at the direction of the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters but he can't sleep anymore. He wasn't feeling sleepy.

After some thought, he went to a park and started meditation (aka process of gathering and refining soul power from the world).

And just like that, a day passed and do did the night.

[Authors thoughts: So all the things that you read above are fillers that I don't know why I wrote. Well I knew why at some time in the past but now I don't remember and that's why I can't even cut them up in case I many have wrote a future point on that filler.

Or that's what I thought until I found all the relevant chapters and notes regarding this book and then decided to cut all of it.

So from the upcoming chapters, the pace will be faster, more novel characters will appear from the DD3, the events will progress smoother and you don't have to read all those boring stuff while waiting for the plot to move forward.

I am really sorry for writing that. I am because I just read them and the amount of disgust that I felt as a reader was sufficient for myself to burn all those things down.

Now some things to consider and I mean, for all of you to consider, one, this Entrance Examinations episode is three years before the actual one that you guys read of.

So anything I wrote as the tests are purely fictional, and in no way, I am trying to say that they align with the DD3. Okay.

So read what I write and tell me about it.

Or we can just take the middle road and I will write.

"With Fan Lin's second skill and Energy body, he was able to clear all the exams and reached the last one"

While skipping the scene to the last one and then we can start the Shrek arc.

OR you read all the fictional tests that I write and most of them aren't changed. I just changed some of the tests because others were important or basic tests that you can't change, like the last one, the first one and secondary occupation one.

Those were the basic tests, If I had read write in DD3 and I am not changing them.

Lastly, don't trust Fan Lin. Please don't, you will regret it. This Fan Lin [orginal Blue Silver Grass] is different and not trustworthy at all. You will understand that later.

You will curse me at that. So bye]

.....

Day of the Shrek's Entrance Examinations.

Shrek Academy, the number one academy that was located in the number one city of the continent, was a place that countless people yearned to enter.

Shrek Academy's campus was vast, a small town unto itself.

It actually used to be the original Shrek City until Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, the Spirit Pagoda's founder, proposed an expansion. Only then did the city grow much larger.

Since today was the day of Shrek Academy's entrance exams, every inn in the city was filled to the brim with hopeful examinees, their teachers, and the heads of their families. The city was overrun with people.

Merchants seized this opportunity to turn a profit by selling old exam questions and rules. Some sold spirit items while others sold soul devices.

These masses of people worked in tandem, benefiting from one another.

The Shrek Academy entrance exam had three requirements. First, examinees had to be sent by a major city. Second, examinees could be no more than fifteen years of age. Third, the soul power of an examinee had to be rank 25 at the very least.

These were the basic requirements, but the most important requirement of all had been decreed 20,000 years ago.

Shrek Academy did not accept ordinary people. On the contrary, they only accepted monsters. As a result, Shrek Academy has championed the moniker of "Monster Academy" since ancient times.

'I think that's the line that described this city and the upcoming ones was for the next day.' [Fan Lin]

Ancient city walls extending beyond his vision towering over like an enormous dragon coiled around the academy, plain and undecorated without even a signboard to mark the location.

A large crowd was currently assembled outside the gate as they were not allowed to go in. It was a sea of people rowdy with noise and excitement.

'Kinda reminds me of certain religious practices.'

Soon the gate opened and an announcement came: Only the students taking the exams and their teachers are allowed in.

I repeat : Only the students taking the exams and their teachers are allowed in.

Fan Lin listened to the announcement and slowly followed behind the people that were allowed in. He perfectly blend in the crowd and at first sight, it was difficult for others to point out exactly which group he belonged to.

The ground at the plaza was made of ashen-gray stones, which were larger than the black rocks that paved the roads. There were buildings of similar height and ancient architecture arranged on the perimeter of half of the circular plaza.

Using just my eyes to estimate, I knew that the plaza was at least one kilometer long in diameter. The buildings was made of stone, various figures carved into it.

Contained within semicircle of buildings was the plaza, and in the plaza's center was a circular man-made pond approximately one hundred meters in diameter. At the middle of a fountain stood a majestic sculpture...

Life-like, the art piece featured the only person who could compare with Tang San, the founder of the Tang Sect. It was the Spirit Pagoda's founder, the master of the Sea God's Pavilion within Shrek in that era. The Spirit Ice Douluo, Huo Yuhao.

He was carved as the center and revered figure, his great spirit souls surrounding him as if they were his guardians.

Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao was the sole being of his era to ascend to godhood! That his sculpture could be found here was testimony to his great influence.

"This is Spirit Ice Plaza. It was built ten thousand years ago when Shrek Academy started to expand into what is now the inner city. Currently, the main school buildings for the outer court are located here. As you may have guessed, it was named after the world-shaking Spirit Ice Douluo, Huo Yuhao. I'm sure you've all heard of his legends, so I'll leave it at that. Let's enter the school building now." After the Guide's simple explanation they went towards the test venue.

"This building is called House Shrek. The murals on the walls and ceiling detail our twenty thousand years of history."

So prestigious! Twenty thousand years of history!

'This should have been my reaction but it isn't.'

A foundation spanning across eras was truly awe-inspiring. All the students here wanted to bow down to it. Fan Lin thought that there was a subtle mind interference formation somewhere. Or else how do they invoked that feeling into him as well.

Only now did most of the students who came to take the exams understand why Shrek Academy was known as the sacred temple of soul masters. Traveling to Shrek Academy was like making a pilgrimage! If they were privileged enough to study here, they would have an unforgettable experience for the rest of their lives.

Their thoughts were heavily influenced by something, Fan Lin was sure of that since he was feeling the same thing.

He knew what kind of person he was and he would not feel this kid's of feelings for a mere building.

After passing through two more corridors, they arrived in a round hall. Its domed ceiling stretched twenty meters high. Additionally, there was a mural painted on the ceiling just as the previous hall had been. This was the first test hall.

'The heck, at least inform me before you start the test'.

Fan Lin thought as the sudden mental pressure attacked him.

Not just him but all the students present in the hall faced this.
