“The biggest challenge you faced during your breakthrough was actually the clash between your two bloodlines. As you may have noticed, every time you break through, these two bloodlines merge further. Therefore, practicing this ability is like promoting the fusion of the two bloodlines. With more control, you will naturally be able to use it during your future breakthroughs,” Nana said.

Lan Xuanyu nodded and asked, “So, should I focus more on this aspect in the future?”

Nana said, “Yes. But this kind of focus cannot be achieved overnight. Just now, you broke through and greatly enhanced your control over each element. Going from a ten thousand-year soul ring to a hundred thousand-year soul ring is an absolute qualitative leap, and such a leap requires adaptation. You need to know to what extent you can control each element. When you are familiar with every element, your overall control will naturally be strengthened, and the control over your newly created ability will also be enhanced. Similarly, your skills belonging to the Golden Dragon Bloodline also need to be familiarized and strengthened. Each individual enhancement will become a part of the final overall enhancement. This should be the direction of your cultivation in the months before your graduation exam.”

“I understand.” Lan Xuanyu sincerely said, “It’s great to have your guidance. I can avoid so many detours!”

Hmm. Next, I’ll guide you on the characteristics of the light element. It’s a new element for you and requires a new understanding. Whether it’s the light element or the dark element, they are both very comprehensive elements, surpassing the four basic elements in terms of attack, defense, and other attributes, explained Nana to Lan Xuanyu as he listened attentively and learned about the light element.

While Lan Xuanyu and his companions were working hard to improve themselves. In the Shreks Academys Outer Court Deans Office, Ying Louhong and several teachers were in a dilemma.

“How the graduation exam of the Star Wars Experiment Class is to be conducted have to be decided quickly. After setting the exam requirements, further adjustments and preparations are needed. Otherwise, there would not be enough time,” Ying Louhong said in a low voice. “Let’s all share our opinions. We’ve already discussed it several times before. Currently, it has been decided that compared to a regular graduation class, the exam for the Star Wars Experiment Class will consist of three parts.”

For the graduates of the Outer Court of Shrek Academy, the regular class exam mainly consisted of two aspects: one was a character test, which was also conducted in actual combat, and the other was an ability test. The two complemented each other, combined with the threshold of having a Two-Word Battle Armor. The final score was determined by the combination of the three.

Only those who passed could be considered graduates of the Outer Court. The most outstanding scores could be considered for admission to the Inner Court. Every year, the exam questions were different, but the passing score was predetermined. Once the score exceeded the passing score of the Inner Court, one could become an Inner Court disciple.

Of course, this passing score was extremely daunting, and it was very difficult to achieve.

For the Star Wars Experiment Class, which was about to graduate this year, it was a challenge for the entire academy.

There was no doubt that they were unprecedentedly excellent. More than ten people in the class met the standards to enter the Inner Court. However, ten people were too many, which made it somewhat unfair for other graduation classes. Moreover, the number of people that the Inner Court could accommodate was also limited.

Therefore, the difficulty of the exam was bound to increase, especially for the Star Wars Experiment Class. But it was troublesome to increase the difficulty and set the passing score.

If too low, what if too many people passed? But if it’s too high, and they end up holding back a few like Lan Xuanyu, that will be troublesome too! The seven of them were already a candidate team for the Shrek Seven Monsters. It was extremely rare for the Outer Court to have a candidate team for the Shrek Seven Monsters!

Ying Louhong had studied this for a long time and had consulted with the Inner Court many times, but there was still no conclusion yet.

The teachers were all silent, including Xiao Qi, the class teacher. For him, of course, the more people who entered the Inner Court, the better, as it was his honor. Tang Zhenhua, who was also the class teacher, felt the same way. He knew how outstanding his students were, so he would not dig a hole for them.

But since they were not speaking up, Ying Luohong had to call them out.

“Teacher Tang, what do you think? You are the one who guided their Star Wars training,” Ying Louhong looked at Tang Zhenhua.

Tang Zhenhua’s mouth twitched and he said, “Compared to previous graduates, we have added an additional Star Wars assessment for them this year. And the difficulty we agreed upon earlier was already quite high. Even though it is conducted in the simulation pod, I feel that the requirements are too demanding. Do we need to increase the difficulty of the other two assessments? If none of them graduate, our experimental class will become a joke.”

The fifth-grade homeroom teacher sneered and said, “Come on, Teacher Tang, don’t be so modest. We all know the situation in your class. Although the school didn’t deliberately publicize it, they broke the record over at Senluo Planet and each of them even got a soul bone. And we can also see the school’s bias towards them in terms of resources. If it’s just an ordinary difficulty, how can it showcase their excellence?”

Ying Louhong looked at him and said, “So, what’s your opinion?”

The fifth-grade homeroom teacher said, “I think that character is still the most important aspect. After all, the Star Wars experimental class has received so much investment from the school, and with the next step of training in the Inner Court, they are sure to become outstanding strong experts in the future. Therefore, their characters are particularly important. I think it’s a good idea to let them go experience the Seven Saints Abyss.”

“Come on, Teacher Cheng, that’s ridiculous,” Xiao Qi had a good temper, but he couldn’t stand it anymore after hearing this.

Tang Zhenhua’s face turned even more grim, “Do you want to ruin these kids? That’s the character assessment for graduates of the Inner Court. And it’s not for everyone.”

“Don’t worry, guys!” The fifth-grade homeroom teacher Cheng Tianluo said with a smile, “I’m not saying the whole class. I’m talking about the seven little leaders among them. It’s just a matter of time for them. It’s only two years away from the Seven Monsters selection, and they should go through the Seven Saints Abyss. Experiencing it now, they don’t have to go through it again in the future. The older they get, the more distractions they’ll have, and entering the Seven Saints Abyss may not be as easy as it is now. For them, the current timing is good. The other students can undergo the normal character assessment.”

After hearing this, Tang Zhenhua and Xiao Qi’s expressions improved slightly, but they still showed some concern.

Ying Luohong frowned slightly and said, “I will discuss this with the Inner Court before making a decision. The assessment in the Seven Saints Abyss carries great risks.” At this point, a hint of fear flashed in her eyes. Among the people present, only she had experienced the assessment in the Seven Saints Abyss. Otherwise, she would not have been appointed as the dean of the outer school.

Suddenly, Tang Zhenhua’s heart stirred, and he looked at Ying Luohong with a thoughtful expression.

Ying Luohong asked, “Does any other teacher have any good suggestions?”

Huang Liying, the fourth-grade class teacher, said, “I have a suggestion. Let them complete the tasks of the Sky Fighters for the combat test. Increase the difficulty level to level five, either as a team mission or individual mission.”

Ying Luohong nodded and said, “This has been considered by the academy before. The level-five team or individual tasks for Sky Fighters are likely to be aimed at god-level powerhouses, so the difficulty is very high. However, there are usually certain methods. But both level-five team and individual tasks are also the admission requirements for the Inner Court. If they all pass, are we going to let them all enter the Inner Court?”

“That’s definitely not possible,” Cheng Tianluo said. “The resources in the Inner Court are limited. How can dozens of students from one class enter? Isn’t that chaotic? The Star Wars experimental class is a special class, and I think it can only be used as their graduation exam. As for entering the Inner Court, it still depends on their performance in completing the tasks. At most, there are only seven spots. We don’t even need to set a scoreline, just let the top seven enter.”
