Chapter 87: I’m Not Human Anymore!

The three-day freshman assessment has come to an end.

The next day, when Lin Yun and Xiao Xiao arrived at Class 8, the once-crowded classroom had become much emptier, with about half of the students gone.

Those were the ones who failed the freshman assessment and were expelled.

After taking their seats, Lin Yun turned to look out the window. His seat had a great view, allowing him to see the scene at the school gate, where a large group of students who had taken off their uniforms were preparing to leave the academy.

Class 8 was actually doing quite well, retaining half of its students. Normally, only about a third of a class would pass the assessment.

The fact that Class 8 had more students meant that other classes had fewer.

Beside Lin Yun, Zheng Xiaolong was also looking out the window at the dejected students leaving the academy. Among them were many he had interacted with and could even consider friends.

But they were all leaving.

If it weren't for Lin Yun, he would likely have been one of them, slinking away from Shrek Academy like a failure, rather than passing the freshman assessment with a perfect ten-win record and advancing to the top 64.

"Thank you, boss. If it weren't for you, I'd probably be on my way home right now," Zheng Xiaolong said quietly.

Without Lin Yun, given the low probability of his peculiar spirit's enhancements, he would have had little chance of forming a good team, with less than a 10% chance of passing the freshman assessment.

Lin Yun simply smiled and didn't say much.

After all, it didn't matter who he brought along. At least Zheng Xiaolong, as a lackey, had been satisfactory. In the future, he could handle minor tasks for Lin Yun. Doing everything himself wasn't Lin Yun's style, so having a minion to handle chores was necessary.

Before long, Mu Jin walked into the classroom with a radiant smile, placed her teaching materials on the desk, and looked at the students with a warm expression.

"Good morning, students!"

"Good morning, Teacher Mu~"

After the daily greetings (1/1), Mu Jin spoke softly: "The three-day freshman assessment has ended today. First, I'd like to congratulate all of you who remain in the class for passing Shrek Academy's freshman assessment and successfully becoming members of Shrek Academy!"

As Mu Jin finished speaking, the classroom erupted into enthusiastic applause. Many students felt a weight lifted off their shoulders, some even tearing up.

Mu Jin raised her hand to quiet the class, then continued: "In addition, there's something else that makes me proud of you all. Among the nine freshman classes, Class 8 has the highest pass rate, and two teams achieved a perfect ten-win record in the assessment!"

"They are Lin Yun's team and Ning Tian's team! Furthermore, seven other teams also achieved excellent results, advancing to the top 64 and earning the right to participate in the freshman ranking tournament after the assessment."

"Let's give them a round of applause to celebrate their success!"

Among the nine freshman classes, Mu Jin's Class 8 had secured nine spots in the top 64, with both the highest pass rate and the most teams advancing. No wonder she was in such a good mood.

Her old rival Zhou Yi had fallen from grace, while her own career was thriving. This had even diluted her lingering feelings for Fan Yu, as she now threw herself wholeheartedly into her work.

Men?

Men weren't as interesting as teaching students.

After applauding for Lin Yun and the others, Mu Jin began to discuss other matters.

After the freshman assessment, the students would be divided into different classes. Class 1 would teach strong attack and control systems, Class 2 would teach agility attack and defense systems, Class 3 would teach support and food systems, and Class 4 would handle other types.

In short, Class 4 was like a garbage dump, where students with poor talent and spirits would be tossed.

Thus, today was the last class Mu Jin would teach them. Unless she happened to become their homeroom teacher after the division, they would go their separate ways.

However, with Lin Yun around, the championship of the freshman ranking tournament was practically locked in. Mu Jin would also become the homeroom teacher of Class 1 due to Lin Yun's achievements. In the end, only the strong attack and control system students from Class 8 would continue to be taught by Mu Jin.

Well… Ning Tian didn't count.

Aside from strong attack and control systems, core disciples of the outer court could also be admitted to Class 1 as exceptions. It was likely that Ning Tian would choose Class 1 over Class 3.

After explaining the class division, Mu Jin went on to explain the rules of the freshman ranking tournament.

It was roughly as previously mentioned: the freshman ranking tournament would last seven days, with one match per day. Starting from the top 64, teams would be randomly drawn, and by the time the top four were determined, semifinals and finals would be held to determine the top three.

After the freshman ranking tournament, the outer court would determine the core disciples for this year's freshman class.

Thus, Mu Jin didn't say too much, only reminding them that core disciples would receive the best training and resources in the outer court, so they should give their all in the tournament and showcase their abilities as much as possible.

After class, Wu Feng sneaked over and whispered to Lin Yun: "Did you use that so-called beast-taming method of yours? Did the academy punish you for it?"

Wu Feng was still haunted by Lin Yun's special skill. The absolute suppression of her fire dragon spirit by Qing'er's Ultimate Ice was something she remembered vividly.

When Lin Yun pulled out Qing'er during the match, Wu Feng nearly lost it. She would rather be beaten up by Lin Yun than be frozen into an ice sculpture by Qing'er and feel her spirit trembling in fear.

"What? Are you looking to get revenge on Qing'er for freezing you back then?" Lin Yun asked with a teasing smile.

"No, no, no! Whoever wants revenge can go ahead, but I never want to see that scorpion of yours again," Wu Feng shook her head vigorously, her face full of resistance.

"Then you're in for disappointment. I used it once during the freshman assessment, but the academy hasn't notified me that I can't use Qing'er to assist in battles anymore. So, during the tournament, you'll probably get frozen again," Lin Yun shrugged, speaking casually.

"What?!" Wu Feng's face fell, filled with disbelief.

Wait, can't you just be human for once?!

(Lin Yun: I'm the Sovereign of Spirit Beasts. I'm not human anymore!)

On the other side.

Ma Xiaotao, who had been frozen by the full-powered Ice King's Wrath, finally managed to break free from the Ultimate Ice. Her red dress shattered like pieces of paper, revealing her flawless, jade-like body and her tantalizing "baby feeding station" that made anyone's mouth water.

"Hiss…"

So light, so comfortable!
