Since Xu Yuan, the class monitor, had made his statement and set an example, it would be unreasonable for him not to follow suit.
Moreover, although the handling fee is said to be half, it actually has little impact on him.
At the beginning of the semester, he was short of contribution points because he couldn't get enough to eat, but now that he has long-term meal tickets, he is no longer so eager for contribution points.
As for Xu Yuan doing him a favor in return for his efforts, Tang Wulin accepted it.
Consider it a different kind of reward from Xu Yuan for the fusion technique he traded to him.
Tang Wulin himself always felt that he had made a profit in the original transaction, while Xu Yuan was the one who suffered a loss, so he had no complaints this time.
In addition, Xu Yuan's previous arrangements for the exchange competition allowed him to successfully attempt the Spirit Forging and obtain a piece of titanium gold worth a considerable sum.
Although it was all just an arrangement, Tang Wulin did actually receive benefits.
In the end, helping classmates isn't such a bad thing, is it?
Xu Yuan nodded to the two teachers and slowly sat down.
Shen Yi then smiled and said, "Since your class monitor has said so, I hope you will all live up to his expectations."
"You all have a chance to get 60 points."
Her gaze swept across everyone's faces, and she was quite certain.
"You all have a chance to get it."
"What we're looking at is your performance in this assessment!"
At this moment, Wu Changkong stepped forward, took over the conversation from Shen Yi, and began to explain the content of this assessment.
"The method of this assessment is very simple. You have a total of fifteen days. Within the fifteen days, you must travel to Mingdu and pass through at least ten cities, including Mingdu, along the way."
"In each city, you need to defeat an opponent whose cultivation level is five levels higher than yours, and you cannot have any external assistance during this process."
"How to find opponents, how to defeat opponents, how to get to Mingdu—these are all things you need to figure out yourselves."

"It's not difficult at all."
This was the first reaction of all the students.
Shrek City is located in the center of the continent, while Mingdu is located on the west side. Even without changing trains, it would take three days to reach the city by taking the Soul Guidance Train. In other words, it would take about six days to travel there and back. Even if it passes through ten cities, it is possible to achieve the goal in ten days by taking in the time for transfers.
As for seeking out powerful opponents, they are generally only Great Soul Masters, but they are capable of finding Soul Masters at the Soul Venerable level to fight.
The students weren't stupid; they quickly came up with various countermeasures.
However, when they were making plans, Wu Changkong paused for a long time before finally stating the strictest condition.
"The final requirement of the assessment is that all your storage soul tools, communication soul tools, resources, and money must be left behind before you leave, leaving with nothing."
Clean up and leave the house?
The students' faces were stiff.
It's not simply about finding someone to challenge?
We still need to find a way to solve the problems of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.
Without a storage soul tool and without money, who can they fight?
Previously, most students were thinking of paying someone to fight them.
Now that the money is being withheld, don't even ask where the money to hire someone to fight with you will come from; just ask where the money to ride the Soul Guidance Train will come from.
"In addition, you are not allowed to form groups. Everyone must travel alone. There will be teachers accompanying you to record your progress. They will not intervene or show themselves unless you encounter any danger."
The students looked troubled, pondering how to make money as quickly as possible.
At this moment, Xu Yuan raised his hand.
"Teacher, my mecha shouldn't be confiscated, right?"
Wu Changkong frowned immediately upon hearing Xu Yuan's question.
He was truly in a dilemma.
This mech is a cheat code.
Battle armor and mechs made of spirit alloy can indeed be removed once they are integrated into a Soul Master's body. However, if they are separated from the Soul Master for a long time, although it will not necessarily create a barrier, it will definitely affect the mutual nurturing between the Soul Master and the mech.
If it were just one or two pieces of battle armor, that would be fine, but Xu Yuan had an entire mecha.
Driving a mecha from Shrek City to Mingdu would probably be faster than a soul-guided train, covering the straight-line distance, and it wouldn't be affected by train schedules, making it extremely flexible.
"You can't use the mecha's abilities," Wu Changkong said to Xu Yuan after hesitating.
"What if something unexpected happens?"
"What accident?" Wu Changkong asked, puzzled.
"For example, terrorist attacks."
"In case of unforeseen circumstances outside of the academy's assessment tasks, the use of mechs is permitted," he said calmly.
Despite saying that, Wu Changkong didn't believe such a thing would happen.
Today is a society governed by the rule of law
The next day, the students from Class 1 of the first year were stripped naked early in the morning, and all their resources, storage devices, and communication equipment were confiscated by the academy.
"Sigh, half a lifetime of hard work, and it all comes back to square one," a classmate joked.
"Ha, I hope you live to be forty."
"."
"Brother Xu, we have nothing right now, how are you planning to get some money?" Tang Wulin asked curiously.
Wu Siduo and the others also gathered around Xu Yuan, preparing to learn from his experience.
Let's discuss how to earn our first pot of gold.
"Me? I'm very simple."
Xu Yuan remained calm.
He arrived at the entrance of the college's outer campus.
Tang Wulin and the others watched from afar.
What can you do if you have no tools at all?
Xu Yuan stopped a classmate.
"Hey classmate, would you like some top-grade metal that's been refined a thousand times?"
"Can you forge a thousand-times-refined, first-grade metal?" The one who was stopped was a fourth-year student. He looked Xu Yuan up and down and asked in return.
"Senior, you're a senior too, so let me be frank. I'm a first-year student, and I'm being assessed."
The senior student looked enlightened.
Clearly, he had also been through it and knew Xu Yuan's current situation.
"I didn't borrow any money."
The college does not allow borrowing money, especially at this critical juncture.
“I won’t take it for free. I’ll forge a piece of top-grade metal for you, and you’ll give me 100,000 Federal Credits.”
One hundred thousand Federal Credits for a single piece of top-grade, thousand-forged metal?
We still need to produce rare metals ourselves.
Actually, it's a profit.
but--
"I am Xu Yuan."
Xu Yuan said calmly.
The senior student, who had just been thinking about "but," suddenly remembered the big commotion that had recently happened in the college. He observed Xu Yuan closely and realized that he seemed to match the description.
"Sure, I trust your forging skills, but your forging equipment must have been confiscated, right? Going to the Forging Masters Association now will waste a lot of time," the senior student said with interest, arms crossed.
He kindly reminded Xu Yuan: "Just a heads up, the association has been very strict lately. Without your ID, you can't even use your exclusive forging room in the association. If you want to use the association's forging equipment to forge for me, the fastest I know is to go to the outside forging association, take the exam as a social forging master, get a grade, and then upgrade to at least level four before you can apply for a forging room immediately."
This senior student was quite kind.
Xu Yuan smiled faintly and said, "These are not problems."
He gestured with his right hand, and a pen appeared in his hand.
The background is black and white, interspersed with blue patterns, and the colorful bristles of the brush tip are intertwined.
The senior student's eyes narrowed.
Because four purple soul rings rose up beneath Xu Yuan's feet.
Fourth Ring, Soul Sect.
The identity of the first-year, four-ring Soul Master is basically confirmed.
