The exchange between the first-year Class 1 and the second-year Class 1 was comprehensive, starting with auxiliary professions: forging, design, crafting, and repairing. Only then did it move to actual combat.
There wasn't much to say about this exchange; the first place in the four major auxiliary professions had almost no suspense, and the five-on-five actual combat was ultimately won by the second-year team led by Yuanen Yehui.
Yuanen Yehui had a piece of Dou Armor on each hand, her fists shattering the void, almost unstoppable. Le Zhengyu's Holy Angel Martial Soul also displayed immense power, using spirit ring fusion techniques to show terrifying explosive force, clearing the field with a single sword strike.
Although Tang Wulin performed excellently, the spirit power gap was too large, and without the Divine Dragon Transformation, he was ultimately defeated, but he lost with honor, showing his own style.
This book is first published on the entire network.
After Ya Li healed the students, she said to Qian Mo and Gu Yuena, "In two days, you will face the third-year students."
"Understood!" Qian Mo and Gu Yuena said in unison.
Third-year Class 1, classroom.
"Class Leader, the academy's arrangement is clearly pushing us! Do the first-year kids also want to challenge us? And they just entered the academy, they really don't know their limits." A slender young man with a somewhat lewd appearance, sitting with his legs crossed, said to a young man beside him.
The lewd young man was named Ye Wu, an agility-attack system Battle Spirit Master. He was skilled in various high-speed battles, had completed seventy percent of his One-Word Battle Armor, and was seventeen years old this year, with great hope of completing a full set of One-Word Battle Armor and becoming an Inner Courtyard disciple before he turned twenty. He was a core member of the third-year Class 1.
The young man he called Class Leader was tall with an ancient and unadorned appearance; he wasn't handsome, but he possessed a sense of unmoving, mountain-like majesty.
Li Qiankun, the Class Leader of the third-year Class 1, and one of the two One-Word Battle Armor Masters in the third-year Class 1. He was eighteen years old this year, a level 52 defense-type Battle Spirit Master. His Spirit was also very peculiar, named qiankun ball. It was a very rare mutated Tool Spirit.
"I also find this matter strange, so I specifically inquired about some information regarding the first-year challengers," Li Qiankun said with a somewhat solemn expression.
"Oh, is there something mysterious about the first-year junior brothers and sisters?" A clear voice sounded.
Walking over was a young girl with long black hair cascading down her back, a medium build, and a sweet appearance, but her eyes radiated coldness. She walked all the way to Li Qiankun's side and sat down.
Mo Jue, the Deputy Class Leader of the third-year Class 1, another One-Word Battle Armor Master, with spirit power at level 51. In the class, her prestige was even higher than Li Qiankun's; she was strong but protective of her own, and almost all classmates in the class had benefited from her. Her personality was straightforward and strong.
Li Qiankun nodded, "Only two people are coming to challenge us this time, one male and one female. These two are not simple; their spirit power has already reached level 40 or above. One of them is a twin spirits Spirit Master, and the other has several pieces of Dou Armor made of Spirit Alloy on their body."
"The most crucial thing is, they were able to obtain the qualification to challenge us because they won against the opposing team by fighting one against five in the first-year class internal battle."
"They won even fighting one against five, no wonder I heard that this new batch of students is extraordinary, they can be called the best batch in a hundred years," Mo Jue said.
"Then can they threaten a One-Word Battle Armor Master?" Mo Jue asked.
Li Qiankun shook his head, "It's unclear, no one knows the limit of those two people's strength. Especially that boy, it is said that he practically crushed five members of the Young Genius List, one of whom was ranked in the top ten."
"Members of the Young Genius List, damn, this junior brother has something!" Ye Wu said in surprise.
Mo Jue frowned and asked again, "There are only two people, so what form will the battle take? A two-on-two battle or two single battles?"
"Two single battles, and the academy hopes for the two of us to participate this time," Li Qiankun said.
Ye Wu said casually, "No need, why would Class Leader and Sister Mo need to step up? Wu Rui and I stepping up will be enough."
Mo Jue thought for a moment before saying, "Class Leader, what do you think?"
Li Qiankun said in a deep voice, "We've studied at Shrek for two semesters, and we both know very well that the academy would never act without a purpose. The academy specifically instructed the two of us to go on stage, so I think it's best if we do."
Hearing this, Mo Jue nodded in agreement, "Okay, then I'll go first in the first match, how about that?"
"Alright, then Mo Jue, you can first help me test the strength of this batch of little ones," Li Qiankun said with a smile.
The competition day finally arrived, with two students from Shrek Academy's Outer Courtyard first year initiating a challenge against the third year.
The strength of the third-year students was obvious to all. How long had this batch of first-year students just entered the academy before challenging the third-year students, and only two of them at that? Was there something special about these two?
It was rare to have such a lively competition. The sparring arena was already packed with Outer Courtyard students and Teachers just after lunchtime.
There were only two matches in this competition, with four students participating, but the academy attached unprecedented importance to it.
On the podium, the Outer Courtyard Headmistress Cai Meier had arrived early, Saint Spirit Douluo Ya Li was also personally present, along with a group of Outer Courtyard Teachers.
Even within the Sea God Pavilion, Yun Ming sat behind his desk, handling academy affairs while watching the screen in front of him, which displayed the Outer Courtyard's challenge match.
"Are you both ready?" Ya Li said gently to Qian Mo and Gu Yuena.
"We are ready," Qian Mo and Gu Yuena said indifferently, their expressions indescribably relaxed, showing no sign of the pressure of facing a One-Word Battle Armor Master.
"How about this time, who goes first?" Qian Mo turned his head and asked.
"Hmph," Gu Yuena let out a proud cold snort, "You went first last time, it's my turn now."
On the side of the third-year Class 1, the homeroom Teacher was a middle-aged woman, Song Lin, a Two-Word Battle Armor Master, a senior Teacher in the Outer Courtyard, and the third-year Class 1 was brought up by her personally.
Song Lin looked at Mo Jue and instructed, "Be careful, these two first-year kids are not simple."
Shrek Academy recruits every three years, meaning each year group is three years apart. If the third-year students lost to the first-year students, they would lose face greatly.
"I know. Teacher Song, please rest assured, the third match, we will definitely win!" Mo Jue had arrived beside Song Lin at some point, raising her cheek proudly.
Gu Yuena jumped onto the stage, her purple eyes clear and bright, silver hair fluttering, a beauty that could overturn cities and nations, making many boys in the audience's eyes light up.
Mo Jue did not jump onto the competition stage but walked up the steps one by one.
"Mo Jue, it's Mo Jue who's going to make a move. Is the third year directly sending Mo Jue?"
Below the stage, the eyes of students from all grades were immediately drawn to Mo Jue's figure, and discussions arose.
Without considering the situation of senior students who had already entered the Inner Courtyard, the strongest in the Outer Courtyard were the One-Word Battle Armor Masters. Before participating in the Inner Courtyard assessment, they were still Outer Courtyard students. And there were only two such students, Mo Jue and Li Qiankun.
Therefore, in a sense, they were the strongest in the Outer Courtyard.
