433 Passing Written Exam

Hearing Xu Xiaoyan clap her hands, Tang Wulin and the others stopped writing, no matter how much they wanted to continue. The main reason they obeyed was that they feared Xu Xiaoyan would disqualify them if they wrote one more word.

In the past, they might have been lucky. After all, their Shrek Academy was the number one academy on the mainland, and they always had prestige wherever they went.

But after experiencing Xu Xiaoyan's attitude toward them, they realized that she was no longer the gentle and sweet girl they knew, and that Miracle City was not like the organizations on the mainland that gave them any respect.

Even Chen Xinjie felt a surge of anger. In his opinion, Tang Wulin was the son of Poseidon. Even if his identity was not revealed, Xu Xiaoyan's behavior toward him was an insult to Poseidon.

But he could only keep his unhappiness to himself. This was Miracle City. If he dared to do anything, he was afraid none of them would be able to leave alive.

He knew that there were many people with higher cultivation levels than him in Miracle City, not to mention Di Tian, the beast god. Based on his understanding of Yun Ming, he doubted he could match him now.

Although he had been taught the method of becoming a god by Poseidon only a few months ago, so there was no way he could compare to Yun Ming.

While Chen Xinjie and the Shrek Seven Monsters were lost in their thoughts, Xu Xiaoyan had already collected their test papers. This time she did not instruct Gu Yuena and Lan Fuzi, but demonstrated the use of soul power. With a wave of her hand, she rolled up the test papers in front of her with her soul power.

Gu Yuena and Lan Fuzi were willing to follow her orders mainly because they had a good relationship with her. Xu Xiaoyan still had some sense of propriety and would not do anything to overstep her bounds.

Xu Xiaoyan was thinking as she corrected the test papers in her hands. After grading Tang Wulin's and Dai Yun'er's papers, she felt a pang of disappointment with the Shrek Seven Monsters and Shrek Academy.

It was not that the two of them had failed their test papers. In fact, they had barely passed, but only because they scored well on the subjects related to soul masters, such as politics and history. They had flunked all the other subjects.

Those subjects were very important in Miracle City, because they taught how to be a good citizen. They were the policies set by the top management of Miracle City after long discussions, but Shrek Academy had obviously neglected them.

Xu Xiaoyan still vaguely remembered the scene when she followed Yali to attend the meetings. During the first few meetings, most of the forces did not care much about those things.

Yali took Xu Xiaoyan to quote various scriptures and give examples, and finally convinced them. It took a lot of effort, but the final goal was achieved.

It seemed that the current situation was caused by the fact that the colleges on the mainland had followed Shrek Academy's model for years. Since they had joined Miracle City, they had become more aware.

Coupled with Yali's various lobbying, they also understood that the Shrek Academy model was not a sustainable way to develop. And the most important point was that Yali had once been the dean of the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy. Even she criticized the educational model of Shrek Academy as useless. It was naturally easy for them, who did not understand education, to be persuaded.

Xu Xiaoyan sighed as she finished correcting the last test paper. She had hoped that Shrek Academy would at least study the textbooks they had bought back from the City of Miracles, even if they didn't use them.

But it seemed that Shrek Academy had only done superficial research and failed to grasp the real purpose of offering these subjects. She wondered how an organization that had lasted for 20,000 years could be so resistant to change.

Xu Xiaoyan shrugged off these thoughts. It was none of her business how Shrek Academy ran its affairs. They were already a semi-hostile force, and she had no intention of reminding them of their mistakes.

Besides, it would be pointless to do so. They would only think that she was trying to slow down the cultivation pace of their geniuses.

"You have passed the written test," Xu Xiaoyan announced. "As for the martial spirit test, you are all Shrek's Seven Devils and first-rate geniuses, so we'll waive it."

Before Xu Xiaoyan could finish, Xie Xie interrupted her proudly, "We agreed that only those who pass the test can enter. We don't want to be accused of using the back door. How can we skip it?"

Xu Xiaoyan was furious. She couldn't understand why Xie Xie hadn't learned anything.

She sneered and said, "Fine, have it your way. The martial spirit test will be conducted by the City of Miracle Soul Master Academy. Sister Nana, Sister Lan, and I happen to be temporary teachers there, so we'll test you ourselves!"

Xie Xie's face turned pale as Xu Xiaoyan spoke. He had been so arrogant that he had forgotten the rules and regulations in the booklet.

But it was too late to back down now. He would disgrace Shrek Academy if he did. He knew that the Shrek Seven Devils were the pride of the academy.

He was about to say something else, but Tang Wulin spoke first. "In that case, please show us some mercy," he said politely.

Tang Wulin had no choice but to concede. They stood no chance against the three women in front of them. He also felt bitter. Because of Xie Xie's words, they, the Shrek Seven Devils, might get a beating.

He never thought of asking Xie Xie to apologize and take back his words. Xie Xie had been his brother for so long, and the Shrek Seven Devils were a team. They had to share the blame.

The Seven Devils looked dignified and determined, which impressed Xu Xiaoyan. She had to admit that Shrek Academy was good at fostering team spirit, but that was all.

She muttered under her breath, "I'm not going to kill you, don't worry." Then she tapped the table a few times. The scene around them changed, and they found themselves on a stage.

Xu Xiaoyan, Gu Yuena, and Lan Fuzi were used to this, and they showed no surprise. Chen Xinjie and the Shrek Seven Devils, however, reacted differently.

Chen Xinjie was alert and quick to adapt, but he still furrowed his brows. He was caught off guard by this method of space transformation.
