Chapter 86: Zhao Wuji

Dai Mubai was momentarily at a loss for words and could only prevaricate: "The academy customizes training plans based on each student's situation. If you have any questions, you can ask the Dean after you join the academy. However, I can tell you with certainty that Shrek Academy is definitely not a scam academy; otherwise, I wouldn't have joined it myself."

Tang San and Xiao Wu looked at each other; after all, it was an academy recommended by Master, so they naturally trusted it.

As for Shi Quan, he had only said that to disgust Dai Mubai. He would certainly join, but once he obtained the Eight Spider Lances, he would slip away.

He was more curious about whether Ning Rongrong would continue to stay at Shrek Academy after he said that. After all, she had already seen the educational resources and faculty strength of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. It would have been fine without a comparison, but once there was a comparison, the feeling would be different.

"The fourth test is just ahead, let's go over first." Dai Mubai hurriedly changed the subject, pointing to the open space not far away.

The group was silent, but they all followed silently. After all, the tuition fee could not be refunded, and since they were already here, they all wanted to see whether this academy was real or fake.

"Teacher Zhao, I've brought people here for the fourth test."

"Hmm? Someone came to the fourth test this year? And there are five of them." Zhao Wuji opened his sleepy eyes and looked at the five people in front of him with some surprise.

"Not only did they reach the fourth test, but they were all exempted from the second and third tests."

Hearing Dai Mubai's words, Zhao Wuji's eyes lit up, and he immediately became interested. He stood up and looked the four over from head to toe. When he saw Shi Quan's blind act, a look of curiosity couldn't help but surface in the depths of his eyes.

After a brief introduction to the fourth test, Zhao Wuji smiled and said: "My name is Zhao Wuji, the teacher for your fourth test, which is me. In previous years, I rarely saw monsters over level twenty-five at twelve years old. Since five came at once this year, let me play with you."

"I will give you the time of one stick of incense now. During this time, you can get to know each other and discuss. After the incense burns out, the test begins. If you five can hold out against my attacks for the time of one stick of incense, even if only one person persists until the end, you will pass."

"Teacher Zhao, this doesn't seem right." Dai Mubai said hesitantly.

"What's not right about it? The Dean is away, and I am the highest authority in the academy." Zhao Wuji's words were full of dominance. As he spoke, he took a stick of incense from somewhere, pinched it with his fingers, lit it, and threw it on the ground.

"Mu Bai, you can tell them about my strengths and characteristics so they can be a bit prepared." After saying this, Zhao Wuji sat back in his chair and continued to sleep.

Seeing this, Dai Mubai could only return to the group and said: "Teacher Zhao is the Vice Dean of the academy, named Zhao Wuji. He is a level 76 Soul Saint with the martial soul Vajra Bear. His offense and defense are unparalleled. You are on your own."

After speaking, Dai Mubai looked at Shi Quan and said: "Well? Do you still think Shrek Academy is a scam academy? A Soul Saint providing personal guidance—how could other academies compare to this?"

"Immovable Bright King Zhao Wuji?" Ning Rongrong frowned and looked in the direction of Zhao Wuji.

Dai Mubai looked at Ning Rongrong, "Have you heard of Teacher Zhao's name?"

Ning Rongrong nodded, "I heard news about him before. He had been missing on the continent for ten years; I didn't expect him to be a teacher at Shrek Academy. Back then, Immovable Bright King Zhao Wuji once had a conflict with the Spirit Hall. The Spirit Hall wanted to punish him, but he managed to charge out from the siege of sixteen Bishops. Later, that matter was left unsettled. The Bishops of the Spirit Hall are at least level 60 or higher Soul Emperor-level powerhouses. At that time, Zhao Wuji should have only been around level sixty."

"Teacher Zhao is much more powerful now than before."

Dai Mubai said with his head held high, and then began to talk about Zhao Wuji's various abilities.

"You should get to know each other now and discuss your strategy properly. However, I still want to remind you that although Teacher Zhao focuses on strength and defense, don't try to use speed to stall. No matter how slow his speed is, it's not something you can compare to."

Tang San nodded and spoke first: "My name is Tang San, Tool Spirit Blue Silver Grass, level 29 Control System Battle Soul Master."

Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing also introduced themselves one after another.

"Zhuang Zhou, Body martial soul Spirit Soul, level 31 Support System Soul Master."

"Body martial soul?" Although everyone was confused, more of their attention was on Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong widened her eyes and looked at Shi Quan, "Zhuang Zhou, you said you are a Support Soul Master?"

It is well known that the cultivation speed of a Support Soul Master is much slower than that of a Battle Soul Master. For a Support Soul Master to break through to level thirty at twelve years old—what kind of concept is that? Even with Innate Full Spirit Power, it wouldn't be this exaggerated.

"I am a Support Soul Master." Shi Quan nodded. Mainly, the three soul skills Xiaomeng currently provided him did not have obvious offensive or control capabilities; they were more about weakening and confusing the enemy, so it was not an exaggeration to call himself a Support Soul Master.

"How exactly do you cultivate? A Support Soul Master actually cultivates so fast." Ning Rongrong exclaimed in astonishment.

"Are you from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?" Shi Quan asked in return, and the others also looked curious.

After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda could only be possessed by direct descendants of the Three Upper Sects' Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Facing everyone's gaze, Ning Rongrong introduced her situation and soul skills in a poised manner.

After Ning Rongrong finished speaking, she continued to look at Shi Quan, "This is the first time I've heard of a Soul martial soul. What direction is your support ability inclined toward?"

"Reduction." Shi Quan waved his hand and said casually: "Do as you please, don't worry about me. I can hold out for the time of one stick of incense by myself."

Hearing Shi Quan's words, everyone couldn't help but look at each other. Dai Mubai even laughed mockingly: "You are too conceited. Even I wouldn't dare say I could hold out against Teacher Zhao for one minute. You, a Support Soul Master, want to hold out for one stick of incense in front of Teacher Zhao? Do you really think Teacher Zhao is a pushover?"

Tang San spoke up: "With Ning Rongrong amplifying us, you weakening Teacher Zhao, Xiao Wu responsible for the main attack, and me responsible for controlling Teacher Zhao's attacks, while Zhu Zhuqing uses her speed to restrain him from the side, we have a great chance of stalling for the time of one stick of incense."

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong both nodded, and Zhu Zhuqing also nodded slightly, indicating her agreement.

Shi Quan, however, said with a faint smile: "According to the rules of the test, you just need to be carried to victory; don't worry about me."

Seeing Shi Quan so persistent, Tang San also understood that Shi Quan would definitely not follow his command. He could only shake his head helplessly and thought to himself: "You're a blind man, how can you hold out for one stick of incense in the hands of a Soul Saint?"

At the same time, on the other side, Zhao Wuji narrowed his eyes slightly and was also looking at Shi Quan, thinking: "This kid is too arrogant. He even wants to hold out for one stick of incense in my hands. Heh... when I make my move in a moment, I'll be the first to knock you down."

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhao Wuji's loud voice came: "Time is up, get ready to start."

As he spoke, Zhao Wuji had already stood up from his chair. His entire body emitted a crackling sound of bones, and an invisible pressure suddenly rushed toward them.

"Seven Treasures Glazed Tile." Seven-colored light condensed, and a seven-colored pagoda about a foot high appeared in the palm of Ning Rongrong's right hand.

Taking advantage of the time while Zhao Wuji was relighting the incense, Ning Rongrong had already summoned her martial soul first.

"Seven Treasures Famous, First: Strength."

As the Spirit Spell was softly uttered, the first Soul Ring rose and enveloped the seven-colored pagoda. Under the direction of Ning Rongrong's left finger, three rays of colored light were released simultaneously, covering Tang San and the other two.

"Seven Treasures Famous, Second: Speed!"

Following closely, Ning Rongrong did not hesitate. The second Soul Ring bloomed with light, and three more rays of light drifted out from the pagoda, landing on the three of them.

For a moment, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing all felt their bodies filled with strength, and their frames felt much lighter. At the same time, the others also released their respective martial souls. Amidst the flickering yellow light, only Shi Quan's purple Soul Ring was particularly eye-catching.

"Good fellow, there is actually someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Family among this year's examinees. Not bad, not bad. Old ghost Flender will definitely be excited this time." As he spoke, the incense in his hand was already lit, and he threw it casually, sticking it into the ground.

As soon as the words fell!

Zhao Wuji did not give the three of them a chance to take the initiative to attack and charged directly at Ning Rongrong!

Seeing this scene, Tang San thought it was bad. Fortunately, Zhao Wuji's speed was not fast. Almost as he was about to reach Ning Rongrong, his Blue Silver Grass was activated instantly. Deep blue vines grew out from the ground under Ning Rongrong's feet, binding her and pulling her quickly in another direction.

"Kid, I want to see what you have to be so confident about."

Seeing this, Zhao Wuji was not surprised but happy. He turned his steps and charged directly toward Shi Quan on the side.

To actually dare to say he could hold out for one stick of incense in his hands—let alone one stick of incense, he, Zhao Wuji, wouldn't even let him hold out for one minute. This was the consequence of arrogance.

"Zhuang Zhou, be careful." Zhu Zhuqing called out a warning.

Tang San saved Ning Rongrong, but he didn't have the energy to look after Shi Quan. He saved Ning Rongrong also because Master had once said that if there were a Soul Master from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect among the enemies, they must be eliminated immediately. Under the influence of this preconceived notion, he thought that the first person Zhao Wuji wanted to eliminate was Ning Rongrong.

Coupled with Shi Quan's lack of cooperation, he had already somewhat overlooked Shi Quan's existence.

He also had not expected that Zhao Wuji, as a Spirit Saint teacher, would start with a feint upon arriving, with his target actually being Shi Quan, who had the highest level of soul power.

While Zhu Zhuqing called out a warning, she also moved, and almost at the moment Zhao Wuji approached Shi Quan, her figure appeared behind Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji let out a low roar, and his body suddenly expanded. His already terrifying muscles expanded by nearly double, and even his height shot up by a meter in an instant, making his entire person become extremely burly.

Seven dazzling Soul Rings rose simultaneously; facing Zhu Zhuqing's attack, he did not even block it, but instead raised his hand and swiped toward Shi Quan...
