Douluo: Peerless King of Beast Tamer

DD2-Chapter 17: Inner Courtyard Assessment

Because Beibei and Tang Ya were wearing third-grade school uniforms, the four of them entered Shrek City directly from the East Gate, and no one stopped them along the way.

However, Zhou Sichen attracted most of the attention. He was so handsome, and his skin was even more delicate than that of a girl.

These two rare and extremely powerful soul beasts, which are close to the ten-thousand-year level, are enough to sweep away all the freshmen.

Even among the fifth and sixth graders, I'm afraid there aren't many who can beat Ah Da and Hellfire, right?

What's more, Zhou Sichen has a third contracted beast that he is reluctant to tell them about.

Ah Da and Hellfire are already so powerful; how could the third one be any worse?

Beibei nodded. "Yes, there is actually a precedent for this. As long as you show enough strength, you can skip grades directly."

After thinking for a while, Beibei suggested, "Brother Zhou, although your actual combat power is much stronger than mine, you are only level 38. Why don't you apply and come to our class directly instead?"

Hearing Beibei's words, Tang Ya couldn't help but secretly give him a thumbs-up and added, "Brother Zhou, since you just entered school and don't know anyone, coming to our class would be just right for us to take care of each other!"

Huo Yuhao on the side couldn't help but clench his fists upon hearing these words.

While he was still concerned about the freshman assessment three months later, Brother Zhou was able to skip a grade and enter the college directly.

Huo Yuhao secretly encouraged himself in his heart: "Xiao Yuhao, you can do it! Come on!"

Zhou Sichen just smiled. "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. In fact, I don't just want to skip a grade."

After saying this, Beibei and Tang Ya looked at Zhou Sichen in disbelief. "Brother Zhou, you're not serious, are you? Do you want to enter the inner courtyard directly?"

Beibei knew the inner courtyard very well and couldn't help but remind him: "Brother Zhou, I know you are very strong and talented, but the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard are really not on the same level."

"Most of the top talents in the outer courtyard can only be at the bottom of the inner courtyard. My suggestion is that you study in the outer courtyard for two years first, and then enter the inner courtyard."

Zhou Sichen listened to Beibei's advice, and his heart was warmed; at least he was speaking from the heart.

But Zhou Sichen is not an ordinary genius; he is a real monster.

Zhou Sichen smiled slightly. "I understand what you mean, but I am not an ordinary person."

"And I like challenges. If there is no challenge and I stay in Shrek doing nothing, I might as well go home and farm."

"Shrek Academy is a gathering place for geniuses. My purpose for coming to Shrek Academy is to compete with these geniuses and then surpass them one by one."

After a pause, Zhou Sichen seemed to radiate infinite confidence. "The inner courtyard is my goal."

Observing the confidence that Zhou Sichen exuded from the inside out, Beibei, Tang Ya, and Huo Yuhao seemed to experience an illusion.

Brother Zhou, whom they had been with for a month, no longer seemed so amiable. This confident and calm demeanor seemed to be his true state.

Were you afraid of hurting them before? So you have always been gentle, warm, and easy to talk to?

Listening to Zhou Sichen's unwavering declarations at this moment, Beibei and Tang Ya opened their mouths but could not speak.

On the way, Beibei also kindly introduced Zhou Sichen to the assessment standards of the inner courtyard and the many bigwigs within it.

Zhou Sichen listened silently. He felt that entering the inner courtyard was basically a sure thing for him.

Shrek Academy is divided into two colleges: the inner and outer colleges. In fact, the inner college is considered to be the real entry into Shrek; only after entering the inner college can one truly enjoy the best treatment.

Moreover, as long as students can enter the inner college and graduate successfully, they will basically become famous throughout the mainland in the future. This is the value of the inner college.

However, the assessment conditions of the inner courtyard are also very harsh, with only one in ten people able to pass and persist. As a result, the number of inner courtyard disciples is typically less than a hundred all year round, making them very rare.

After entering Shrek Academy, the two walked south along the lakeside path for nearly a quarter of an hour before turning west. After walking for more than a quarter of an hour, a wide rectangular square came into view.

A sign for Shrek Square also appeared next to the square. In the center of the outer courtyard square were three magnificent statues. They were the founders of Shrek Academy, the Golden Iron Triangle, which was famous throughout the continent ten thousand years ago.

There was no need for Beibei to introduce them; Zhou Sichen was very familiar with these three figures.

After passing through the three magnificent statues and Shrek Square, tall teaching buildings came into view. These buildings were of different colors, mainly white, yellow, purple, and black.

In the distance was a gray teaching building.

Beibei continued to explain: "The colors of the teaching buildings represent different grades, which are distinguished by the colors of the soul rings.

"White is the freshman teaching building, representing the lowest level of the ten-year soul ring. Yellow is the second and third-grade teaching building of the outer school. Purple is the fourth and fifth-grade teaching building. Black is the sixth-grade teaching building."

"If you can walk out of the black teaching building, you can receive the graduation certificate of the outer school of the college."

After a pause, Beibei looked at Zhou Sichen with some envy. "But Brother Zhou, you are special. With your talent, you may never need to enter these teaching buildings."
