67: Chapter 65 The Final Puzzle

As for their Soul Power Ranks, with a slight perception, Lin Yan discovered that both of them had reached Rank 21.

These two guys didn't have bad aptitude to begin with, and now with Teacher Wang Yan's guidance and supervision, making a Breakthrough past Rank 20 in three months was completely normal.

"Mm, not bad."

Lin Yan nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the two of them as he smiled and said, "It seems you haven't been slacking off during this period of time."

Having received Lin Yan's affirmation, Chen Beixuan and Ye Liangchen's brows and eyes instantly relaxed, their joy overflowing from their expressions.

"Hehe, we just managed to catch a bit of Brother Lin's Immortal Qi!"

"Right, right, right! If we hadn't bathed in Brother Lin's radiance, how could we have improved so fast!"

The two of them chimed in one after another, laying on the flattery thick and fast.

...

After a little while longer, Teacher Wang Yan walked in with a smile, nodding slightly when his gaze fell upon Lin Yan.

"Alright, everyone quiet down."

As Teacher Wang Yan's voice fell, the previously noisy classroom quieted down before long.

Seeing this, he took out another name list and placed it on the desk. Sweeping his gaze across the crowd below the stage, he cleared his throat and said, "I believe everyone already knows that tomorrow is the day for our New Student Assessment."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions instantly varied, all of them looking toward Teacher Wang Yan on the podium.

New Student Assessment!

This was their first formal assessment after entering Shrek, and it was even related to whether they could continue staying in Shrek in the future!

"According to academy regulations, the assessment will be conducted in groups of three. Now we will divide into groups first; the three people whose names I call next will be a group."

"Group 1, Lin Yan, Wang Donger, Xiao Xiao!"

Hearing this, waves of envious and jealous gazes in the classroom once again simultaneously turned toward Wang Donger and Xiao Xiao.

Lin Yan!

This name could be called a legendary existence in Freshman Class 1 and even the entire outer courtyard!

Although this big shot hadn't shown his face much over the past three months, the legends about him had never stopped.

As for Lin Yan, upon hearing this grouping result, his expression did not change at all—because he had already learned about this result from Teacher Wang Yan yesterday.

In fact, given Lin Yan's current strength, coming to participate in the New Student Assessment was simply going to the beginner zone to smurf.

He and the students of his cohort were simply not existences on the same level anymore.

Therefore, if Lin Yan didn't want to come and participate in the New Student Assessment, he could just go tell Principal Yan Shaozhe, and Principal Yan Shaozhe would definitely agree to exempt him from the test.

As for why he still came today, it was actually targeted at Wang Donger.

He needed to take this opportunity to confirm certain things on Wang Donger, and at the same time, use her to prove certain things to Electrolux.

Do not forget what reason Lin Yan used to persuade Electrolux at the very beginning.

For a person like Electrolux, even though he was getting along quite well with Lin Yan now, it was still not enough!

Only by letting him see Tang San's schemes with his own eyes, seeing the beastly things he did to Wang Donger with his own eyes, and filling in this missing final puzzle piece would Electrolux truly dispel the very last trace of doubt and worry in the bottom of his heart!

...

"Group 2, Huo Yuhao, Ye Liangchen, Chen Beixuan!"

Teacher Wang Yan's voice sounded once again.

Ye Liangchen and Chen Beixuan exchanged glances, both seeing a trace of joy in each other's eyes.

Although it was a bit regrettable that they couldn't be grouped with Brother Lin, the two of them were already familiar with each other to begin with, plus adding Huo Yuhao... well, it was alright.

As for Huo Yuhao, the moment he heard his name, he was stunned for a moment, and then he let out a sigh of relief.

Through these three months of understanding, his impression of Chen Beixuan and Ye Liangchen wasn't bad.

The two guys weren't bad and were considered relatively easy to get along with.

...

"Group 3, Zihao, Ma Qingshuang, Lengleng."

...

Teacher Wang Yan's speaking speed wasn't slow, and very soon, all the groups were assigned.

Afterwards, he briefly explained a few precautions regarding the assessment and announced the dismissal of the class.

"Brother Lin!"

"Brother Lin!"

Not long after Teacher Wang Yan left, just as Wang Donger and Xiao Xiao arrived by Lin Yan's side, Ye Liangchen and Chen Beixuan came running over enthusiastically once again.

Behind them, a slightly awkward figure also slowly followed over—it was precisely Huo Yuhao.

Compared to three months ago, Huo Yuhao had also undergone some changes.

His originally somewhat pale and thin face now had a bit more healthy rosy tint. The most important thing was his eyes, which had become much clearer and faintly held a bit of confident radiance.

After walking over, upon hearing how Ye Liangchen and Chen Beixuan addressed Lin Yan, Huo Yuhao also took a deep breath and called out, "Bro... Brother Lin."

Hearing this, Lin Yan's expression did not change as he nodded gently and said in a clear voice, "Huo Yuhao, right? Perform well tomorrow."

"Mm!"

Due to his experiences growing up, Huo Yuhao was actually very sensitive to other people's gazes. Before coming over, he had originally thought that a Genius like Lin Yan might be relatively arrogant, but he hadn't expected him to be so... easygoing.

Seeing that Lin Yan truly did not show a trace of contempt because of his low Soul Power, Huo Yuhao's somewhat inferior heart instantly warmed slightly.

However, right at this moment, Huo Yuhao unintentionally caught a glimpse of Wang Donger's gaze from the side.

A familiar feeling struck him; it hit the spot!

— — He saw nothing in Wang Donger's eyes except disregard and a condescending arrogance.

Compared like this, Brother Lin was still the best!

Brother Lin was a good person!

...

After chatting for a couple of sentences, Ye Liangchen and the others bid farewell and left.

For tomorrow's assessment, they needed to hurry back and get familiar with each other.

Once a few of them had left, Lin Yan turned around and looked at Xiao Xiao and Wang Donger, who were still staying in the classroom.

Xiao Xiao stood by Wang Donger's side, her petite and exquisite figure making the Wang Donger beside her appear even taller.

The young girl's pink-blue long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and her glass-like eyes were clear and touching. Yet at this moment, those beautiful eyes concealed a trace of hard-to-detect complexity and... anticipation.

More than two months had passed since the last time the two of them faced each other at such close range.

During this period, Lin Yan had never come to the classroom, and Wang Donger had only sporadically bumped into him a few times in the academy without any communication.

In fact, even now Wang Donger couldn't clearly explain what kind of feeling she actually had toward Lin Yan.

Originally, when Lin Yan saved her by the Sea God Lake back then, that figure descending from the heavens had indeed deeply imprinted itself in her heart.

But later on, when she recovered her women's clothing and began subconsciously wanting to approach him, Jiang Nannan abruptly appeared.

Seeing Jiang Nannan's existence, after some struggle, Wang Donger had actually intended to erase this sudden heartbeat.

As the little princess of the Clear Sky Sect, she also had her own pride.

Thinking this, she also did just that—hardening her heart to not deliberately think about Lin Yan, not paying attention to what he was actually doing...

After two months of settling down, Wang Donger had originally thought she had completely let go.

But she hadn't expected that after meeting again today, the memories and emotions that had been suppressed for a long time, accompanied by an unspeakable soreness, would suddenly and uncontrollably surge back up again.

This feeling was very painful, very painful...
