Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting-Novel

Chapter 250: Choosing a module

Ling Yiyi’s head was filled with shock and doubts—you can assist in that way? Assisting others to use the Martial Soul Fusion technique... this was simply unheard of.

Shrek Academy has a history of 30,000 years. Although Ling Yiyi didn’t dare to claim that she had read through all the documents, at least from what she had read, there wasn’t a similar record, ah! This boy’s uniqueness had exceeded all the candidates of over ten intakes. According to Shrek Academy’s recruitment standards, other than his weak Soul Power, he was close to perfection. From a certain perspective, he could simply be classified to be on a demonic level with Yuanen Huihui.

Ling Yiyi drove very quickly. Shrek Academy was very big indeed; Lan Xuanyu didn’t even know where he was being brought to, but it was still a huge teaching block.

Entering the building, it felt somewhat chilly, and Lan Xuanyu suddenly felt a little panicky. ‘It can’t be that I attacked Ling Yiyi intentionally just now, and she wants her revenge now, can it? Why aren’t there any other students, ah!’

“Sister Ling, where are the rest?” Lan Xuanyu probed.

Ling Yiyi gave him the side-eye and couldn’t help but to burst out in laughter when she saw how cautious he was, “You know how to be afraid, too? Weren’t you very pleased just now?”

“Ah? Was I pleased? Wasn’t I very aggrieved?” Lan Xuanyu’s eyes widened.

“I knew that you were acting, hng.” Ling Yiyi said in annoyance, “The others had chosen their modules already and gone for the test. The test venues are different and would depend on the module chosen, so you have to make your choice here first.”

“Oh,” Lan Xuanyu finally understood.

Ling Yiyi was in a rush to report on what happened just now and didn’t talk further. She brought him to a room on one of the levels, and there was a huge screen inside. There were names on the screen and a very big wheel; it was similar to the lucky wheel.

The turntable was divided into many different areas, such as Battle Armor, Martial Soul, Spiritual Power, Actual Combat, Assisting, Healing, Mecha Piloting, and many other options. Depending on the options, the different areas on the turntable would vary in color and size.

Ling Yiyi said, “Choose one that you’re best at for the individual assessment. Remember, it must be one that you’re best at. It’s fine if your overall strength isn’t strong, but if you want to get into Shrek, you must have at least one aspect that attracts the academy. This would be your future major in the academy. You must prove to the mentor of your chosen field that you have the ability to study here and become an outstanding student under their guidance.”

Lan Xuanyu looked at the numerous choices and asked, “Among these options, are the areas larger for a popular module, and the academy has a larger intake of students? ”

Ling Yiyi nodded and said, “That’s right.”

Lan Xuanyu took a glance and among them. Mecha Piloting was actually chosen the most, while Battle Armor had the largest area. Martial Soul, Soul Power, and Spiritual Power were quite equal, and quite a number of people applied for them. As for Assisting, Healing and so on, they naturally occupied a smaller area; there were relatively lesser students in those.

Very soon, Lan Xuanyu’s eyes lit up and he pointed at an area on the wheel that was so narrow, it seemed like a single line, “I choose this.”

Ling Yiyi looked at him, dumbstruck. She quickly walked over to the big screen and pointed at the smallest area, then she also pointed at the Martial Soul area right next to it and asked, “Which one are you choosing exactly?”

In her opinion, Lan Xuanyu’s strongest suit was undoubtedly his Martial Soul, ah! He has a Twin Martial Soul and such a strange assisting ability. Also, his Martial Soul was also related to the bloodline; it was the easiest way to display his strength. So, she felt that she must have seen it wrong or that Lan Xuanyu had pointed it wrong.

Lan Xuanyu strode forward and placed his finger on that narrow area, “I choose this, Sister Ling.”

Ling Yiyi was speechless. She realized that with her strong mentality, she actually couldn’t tolerate this fella anymore. He was simply acting against the norm.

Lan Xuanyu looked at her innocently, “Sister Ling, shouldn’t there be sub-categories here? There should be some beginner piloting and sorts for Warship Piloting like driving a Soul Guidance car or something.”

Ling Yiyi’s mouth twitched, “You think driving a Soul Guidance car would get you selected by the academy, huh?”

Lan Xuanyu said, “Can I see what sub-categories there are first?”

Ling Yiyi was annoyed as she tapped on the narrow area on the screen. The Warship Piloting segment opened up immediately, and there were many sub-categories inside, including Warship Commanding, Space Warship Piloting, Meteor Mecha Piloting, Warship Maintenance and more.

Lan Xuanyu pointed at Meteor Mecha Piloting curiously and asked, “Sister Ling, is this different from Space Mecha Piloting?”

Ling Yiyi answered, “Of course, they’re different. Can ground combat mechas be compared to space mechas? Their focus is different. Mechas that fight on the surface of the planet require comprehensive capabilities to perform a variety of missions, while space mechas are mostly for flexible attacks. Their attack power is more important; it also needs to have strong space survivability. Of course, when a mecha reaches beyond a certain level, both types of mechas can be combined and that would be called an all-rounded mecha. But in order to have it, one needed to be at least an ace mecha pilot and above. You want to choose this?”

Lan Xuanyu shook his head and pointed next to it, “I choose Warship Piloting.”

Ling Yiyi rolled her eyes. This fella is really choosing the most unpopular profession out of all the unpopular professions. At this moment, under Space Warship Piloting, there was a number and it was a huge zero. This meant that among all the candidates today, there wasn’t a single one who picked this.

Being the only one was advantageous since the relevant mentor would not have any other choices.

However, this was Shrek Academy: being the only one might not get you selected! You must have the relevant ability.

“Lan Xuanyu, let me ask you one more time—are you very sure? Don’t think that you can court people’s favor by choosing something impressive, or be selected just because you’re the only candidate who chose this. In Shrek, your ability is everything. Don’t be a victim of your own cleverness.”

Lan Xuanyu replied without hesitation, “Sister Ling, I am confident of this, and I really want to pick this. Am I not allowed to?”

“Sure.” Ling Yiyi gritted her teeth. If not for his young age, she really wanted to give him a lesson. Finally, she couldn’t help but to pinch that face of his that still had some baby fats, “Up to you.”

As she spoke, he pressed on the option to choose Space Warship Piloting.

“Alright, wait here, I have something else to do, so I’ll head off first. A teacher will pick you up later.” After speaking, she walked off like the wind. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, this boy would cause the volcano of power in her to erupt...

However, that pinch felt quite good.

Lan Xuanyu touched his cheek that was hurting slightly from the pinch, but he was still calm. With an individual test on Space Warship Piloting, my place in Shrek should be secured right?

He obviously knew that he had an advantage due to his Martial Soul, but he didn’t think that that was his strongest aspect. He was only a two-ring Soul Master, after all! He only had two Soul Rings. And even if his Martial Soul was unique, how strong could it be?

But Space Warship Piloting was different. Yin Tianfan said that his ability in this area would definitely get him a place in Shrek Academy. In this case, he was obviously going to pick this option.
