Douluo Continent: I ushered in this era

Looking at the rows of gates with sharp guillotines hanging on them, Chu Ci thought for a moment and then said in a deep voice, "I will carry Gu Yue, Wu Lin will carry Xiao Yan, and Xie Xie is faster and can keep up with us."

The other four exchanged glances, nodded, and said in unison, "Okay!"

This level was quite easy for the five of them; both Chu Ci and Tang Wulin had ways to block the falling guillotine blades.

In the third round, all five passed smoothly and received a perfect score of ten.

Next, Shen Yi led the five people to a large room on the second floor of the main teaching building for the next round of assessment, which tested their special skills.

Inside the assessment room was a long table, behind which sat two middle-aged men and an elderly woman; these three were the assessment instructors for this assessment.

Chu Ci glanced at the old woman and immediately retrieved her identity from the Shrek Academy information in his mind: Silver Moon Douluo, Cai Yue'er.

"This hurdle isn't difficult. Just showcase your most unique and eye-catching qualities," Chu Ci said softly.

“But class monitor, I can only perform it at night!” Xu Xiaoyan asked, frowning.

Chu Ci smiled and said, "Just tell me directly. Your Xu family's Star Wheel Ice Staff is no secret. The teachers at Shrek Academy are very knowledgeable. Just tell them, and they will understand."

"Oh right, I forgot about that." Xu Xiaoyan's eyes lit up.

"The assessment has begun. Who wants to go first?" Shen Yi asked as he walked over.

"Xie Xie, you go first," Chu Ci instructed.

"it is good!"

Just like in the original novel, Xie Xie stepped forward and displayed his twin martial souls and Ghost Shadow Step.

Following closely behind was Xu Xiaoyan. As Chu Ci said, after Xu Xiaoyan introduced her background, Cai Yue'er recognized the Star Wheel Ice Staff.

Then, just like in the original story, Tang Wulin displayed his powerful strength.

Just like in the original story, Cai Yue'er made Tang Wulin punch her with all his might.

Tang Wulin threw a punch with all his might, which collided with Cai Yue'er's fist.

With a loud bang, Tang Wulin was sent flying backward like a cannonball.

Chu Ci's figure flashed and appeared behind Tang Wulin. She lightly pressed out a palm, and Tang Wulin's flying figure stopped abruptly, landing steadily on the ground.

"Thank you, squad leader," Tang Wulin said, rubbing his arm.

Chu Ci approached Gu Yue and asked with a smile, "Next, will you still be me?"

Gu Yue raised an eyebrow and said arrogantly, "You go first. If I show you first, the teacher probably won't be interested in watching you."

"Okay!" Chu Ci ruffled Gu Yue's hair, ignoring Gu Yue's embarrassed and annoyed expression, and went straight to the center of the field.

Chu Ci was actually quite troubled at this moment. She had so many talents, which one should she show off?

After thinking for a moment, Chu Ci made a decision.

"Let's begin," Cai Yue'er said calmly.

"You don't know me?" Chu Ci raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Why should I know about you?" Cai Yue'er frowned, her expression somewhat displeased.

Chu Ci understood; it seemed that Yun Ming had not announced the matter of the Soul Weapon at the Sea God Pavilion.

"It's nothing, I was just being presumptuous." Chu Ci smiled slightly, reached out and grasped, and a wisp of breeze transformed into a sword in Chu Ci's hand.

The moment Chu Ci grasped the sword, a sword shadow seemed to flash in his eyes, and his sword intent soared to the sky. It was as if Chu Ci unleashed his unique sword intent, which seemed to want to cut through everything.

"This is... sword intent." The middle-aged men on both sides felt the sword intent and immediately looked as if they had seen a ghost.

Chapter 69 Confrontation with Cai Yue'er

Cai Yue'er straightened up instantly, stretching out her wrinkled hand to feel the sword intent in front of her.

After a moment, Cai Yue'er murmured, "The sword intent is close to the Sword Soul Realm, and the sword intent is quite domineering."

The middle-aged men on both sides were even more dumbfounded after hearing this. Could Chu Ci really reach such a level of swordsmanship at his age?

“Not bad,” Cai Yue’er said with approval, “You will definitely be among the future candidates for the Inner Court.”

"Thank you, teacher!" Chu Ci bowed and stepped aside.

Next, it was Gu Yue's turn to showcase her special skills. Just like in the original story, Gu Yue demonstrated her mastery of the six elements, which greatly excited Cai Yue'er. She immediately wanted to bring Gu Yue into the inner courtyard and make her her disciple.

But Gu Yue shook her head without hesitation, "I don't want to."

"Unwilling?" Cai Yue'er asked in surprise, "Why?"

Gu Yue stubbornly raised her chin. "For no reason. I just don't want to."

"Gu Yue, don't talk nonsense." Shen Yi stepped forward quickly and scolded, "Do you know who this is? Elder Cai is one of the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, the highest law enforcement agency of our Shrek Academy. She is the Silver Moon Douluo, whose title is Silver Moon. She is one of the top-level existences on the entire continent. It is your luck to be able to become her disciple."

Hearing this, Chu Ci almost burst out laughing. It was Gu Yue's good fortune to become Cai Yue'er's disciple, so wasn't becoming Leng Yaozhu's disciple a blessing that Gu Yue had accumulated over three lifetimes?

Gu Yue shook her head again, "I already have a teacher, I won't take anyone else as my teacher."

"Tell me who it is, and I'll go find her and make sure she obediently gives you up to be my disciple," Cai Yue'er said arrogantly.

Chu Ci silently rolled her eyes. Looking for Leng Yaozhu? Be careful, she might slap you out of the Spirit Pagoda.

“My teacher is very good to me, and I will not consider changing teachers.” Gu Yue still refused Cai Yue’er. “Besides, I will not be separated from my companions. They will enter the inner courtyard before I enter the inner courtyard.”

"Why do you have so many problems? You're driving me crazy! Do whatever you want!" Old Cai angrily flung his sleeves and stormed off.

"Gu Yue, you dared to refuse the elder of the Sea God Pavilion, that's really impressive." Xie Xie gave Gu Yue a thumbs up.

"Sister Gu Yue, this is just your true nature, don't you understand?" Xu Xiaoyan said with a smile.

"Don't feel guilty about refusing the elders of the Sea God Pavilion. Whatever decision you make, I will support you," Chu Ci said gently as he approached Gu Yue.

Tang Wulin tugged at Chu Ci's sleeve, and after Chu Ci looked at him, he whispered, "Class monitor, Gu Yue's abrupt refusal of Elder Cai might make things difficult for us during the assessment later."

Chu Ci said in a deep voice, "I understand, but we haven't done anything wrong. I'll see if Shrek Academy is really so shameless as to make things difficult for us."

Shen Yi's face was ashen. "We could have ended the assessment right away, but if that's the case, then you can continue. I've already informed the teacher; I hope he can calm down Elder Cai's anger. Let's go."

After saying that, she led the four of them out of the hall and continued walking deeper into the main teaching building.

"The fifth test is a talent test. It's basically a test of your second profession," Shen Yi said.

Xie Xie asked, "Teacher Shen, what's the score for the fourth round?"

“Zero points, all five of you get zero points.” Shen Yi glared at him, annoyed.

"Zero points? That's too much! Does this mean Shrek Academy has lost its fairness? Just because we offended that Elder Cai?" Xie Xie immediately flew into a rage upon hearing this.

Shen Yi said meaningfully, "In Shrek Academy, the Sea God Pavilion is the place where the rules are set. If Elder Cai says it's zero, then it's zero, and no one can change that. Not even the other elders. Moreover, a zero in one subject means that no matter how excellent you are in other assessments, you cannot enter the inner courtyard. Now do you know how serious the consequences of acting impulsively are?" The last sentence was directed at Gu Yue.

Gu Yue remained silent, simply following Chu Ci quietly.

A loud round of applause rang out, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound to see Chu Ci clapping with a gloomy face.

While clapping, Chu Ci said sarcastically, "As expected of the legendary Shrek Academy that upholds fairness and justice, seeing is believing."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi's face darkened, but he didn't say anything, since Shrek Academy was indeed in the wrong.

They walked a short distance and came to another room, about the same size as the previous one. But this room had several platforms and a lot of clutter.

Behind the desk where the examiners were supposed to be sitting in the room was Old Cai, who had just stormed off. Now, the old man was looking at them with a sneer.

"Old Cai, you..." Shen Yi was also taken aback when he saw this person.

Old Cai sneered, "For the fifth assessment, all five of them scored zero."

Chu Ci's face darkened completely, and his eyes turned terrifyingly cold.

"Elder Cai, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, this..." Shen Yi said with a helpless expression, while also being somewhat surprised.

"Don't say I'm not giving Zhuoshi any face. These two scores are zero. If they can pass their other assessments combined, then I'll give them a chance to enter the outer academy. Otherwise, they can go back to where they came from." After saying this, Old Cai stood up and walked out.

After listening, Chu Ci turned and left. Gu Yue turned around at the same time and followed closely behind Chu Ci.

"Hey, class monitor, don't go!" Tang Wulin hurriedly grabbed Chu Ci.

"Otherwise what? That old man has already treated us so unfairly, and he still has the nerve to put on an assessment. I can't do that." Chu Ci shook off Tang Wulin's hand and said coldly.

Cai Yue'er turned around abruptly, staring at Chu Ci with a gloomy expression, "You brat, who are you calling an old man?"

"I'm insulting you, Cai Yue'er, can't you tell!" Chu Ci didn't mince words, directly naming her by name.

Shen Yi's face turned pale with fright. "Chu Ci, quickly apologize to Elder Cai."

"Shut up! If anyone should apologize, it should be this old bastard!" Chu Ci said sternly.

"Chu Ci, apologize. Do you still want to enter Shrek Academy?" Shen Yi stood between Chu Ci and Cai Yue'er and said sternly.

"Go to hell! I have plenty of places to go, I'm not going to this useless academy!" Chu Ci shoved Shen Yi aside and shouted at Cai Yue'er.

"Shen Yi, tell this kid to get lost, make them all get lost! Shrek Academy has no shortage of geniuses, there are plenty of people stronger than them!" Cai Yue'er was almost furious, barely suppressing her urge to fight, and shouted.

Shen Yi watched Chu Ci and Cai Yue'er arguing, completely at a loss for what to do, and was so anxious he was almost in tears.

Upon hearing this, Chu Ci scoffed, "There are plenty of people who are better than me. I'd like to see what kind of genius you have."

"Old man, if you've got the guts, let's make a bet. You bring every single student you recruited this year over here to fight me one-on-one. If even one of them can last five moves against me, I'll kneel down at the gates of Shrek Academy and apologize for my arrogance."

Chapter 70 Yali's Arrival, Settling the Conflict

"Conversely, if no one can withstand five moves from me, Shrek Academy will issue a nationwide announcement saying that they bullied the weak and oppressed the students who came to participate in the assessment, making them suffer unfair treatment, and apologize to the entire internet."

Cai Yue'er laughed angrily, "You think you can bet with me? Shrek Academy wouldn't stoop to betting with a nobody like you."

"Heh," Chu Ci sneered, "Is it because you disdain it? I think it's because you don't dare!"

"Is this all the strength and ambition the number one academy on the mainland has? Seriously, just drop the 'number one' title already, do you even deserve it?!"

Cai Yue'er's eyes widened, her fists clenched, and the nine spirit rings on her body appeared and disappeared.

Chu Ci sensed the terrifying soul power emanating from Cai Yue'er and smiled disdainfully, "What, you want to make a move? Let me think... How does this news feel about the Sea God Pavilion elder failing to recruit a disciple, getting angry and humiliated, first suppressing the examinee, and then killing the examinee in a fit of rage after the examinee expressed their injustice?"

"Chu Ci, shut up!" Shen Yi shouted angrily at Chu Ci, then turned around and pulled Cai Yue'er to calm her down. "Old Cai, calm down, don't stoop to the level of a junior."

The scene in the room was that Shen Yi was pulling Cai Yue'er and trying to persuade her not to be angry, while Tang Wulin and the others were pulling Chu Ci to stop talking, because they were afraid that Cai Yue'er would lose her temper and attack.

Shen Yi glanced down at the chat interface on his phone, praying that his teacher and senior brother would arrive soon, or something terrible would happen.

It seemed that heaven heard Shen Yi's prayers, and the door to the room was pushed open from the outside.
