"Huh?"
Dai Mubai's voice drew Zhao Wuji's attention.
Zhao Wuji blinked his sleepy eyes, a look of surprise on his face as he gazed at the five young men and women beside him.
It was as if he'd witnessed something impossible.
His gruff voice boomed in everyone's ears. Zhao Wuji exclaimed in astonishment, "Someone made it to the fourth level this year? And five of them!"
He knew that Shrek Academy hadn't recruited any new students in two years.
And now, five had reached the fourth level at once.
It was unprecedented.
"That's right, Teacher Zhao. Moreover, they were exempt from the second and third tests."
Dai Mubai replied with a smile.
He didn't elaborate much on Ye Qiu and the others' strength.
He also wanted to see the look of shock on Zhao Wuji's face, which was covered in thick flesh.
Zhao Wuji perked up at the words.
His eyes lit up, and he was somewhat eager to test them, instantly standing up from his chair.
He wasn't tall, and his appearance was quite ordinary.
It looked incredibly sturdy.
His height was a bit shorter than twelve-year-old Tang San's, yet he still gave off a robust impression.
His broad shoulders were like a city wall, and his jacket couldn't hide his steel-like muscles. Although his expression was amiable, his burly physique inherently created a strong sense of pressure.
"All five of them are over twenty-five levels?"
"Not bad, not bad. It seems this year's little monsters are not only numerous but also of good quality."
Zhao Wuji smiled.
His eyes swept over Ye Qiu and the others one by one, and he looked at the five of them gently, saying with delight, "This is my last test. If you pass my test, you can officially become a member of Shrek Academy."
"My name is Zhao Wuji. Since you all passed the second and third tests without any issues, I will personally act as your examiner and play with you all. The content of the next test is for the five of you to join forces and withstand my attacks for the time it takes an incense stick to burn. As long as one person can hold out until the end, you've passed!"
Hearing what Zhao Wuji said, Dai Mubai didn't bring up anything about breaking the rules. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The fourth test had originally been his responsibility.
But today, his injuries hadn't fully healed. Moreover, there were fierce individuals like Ye Qiu and Xiao Wu in the team.
He was actually somewhat relieved that he wasn't the one going.
After the relief, however, he also felt a little worried. He quickly whispered to Zhao Wuji, "Teacher Zhao, you have to be careful."
Zhao Wuji glared at Dai Mubai.
He snorted coldly, "Hmph! Do I seem like someone who doesn't know their limits?!"
"Uh..."
Dai Mubai was taken aback.
In his mind, Zhao Wuji was the type of person whose brain was also made of muscle.
"Alright, you now have the time it takes for one incense stick to burn to get to know each other and discuss your strategy."
"The test will officially begin after one incense stick's time."
Zhao Wuji waved his hand.
After speaking, he pulled out an incense stick from seemingly nowhere.
He flicked his finger at the top of the incense stick.
It immediately ignited.
In the blink of an eye, the incense stick had been inserted into the ground without a tremor.
Having done this, Zhao Wuji sat back down in his chair.
Before closing his eyes, he didn't forget to instruct Dai Mubai: "Little Bai, you can tell them about my strengths and characteristics so they can be prepared."
Then, Zhao Wuji fell silent.
Ye Qiu was indifferent to this. It was Shrek's loss if they didn't accept him anyway.
Tang San and the others didn't know Zhao Wuji's true strength.
Therefore, they didn't have any particular reaction to Zhao Wuji's proposed test.
Instead, Dai Mubai on the side looked extremely serious.
He said to Ye Qiu and the others:
"Don't let your guard down, Teacher Zhao is not easy to deal with."
"This Teacher Zhao wouldn't also be a Soul Emperor level expert like the teacher at the door, would he?"
Tang San said with a smile.
In his heart, if it was just a Soul Emperor.
With Ye Qiu and Xiao Wu present, lasting the time of an incense stick wouldn't be difficult.
Dai Mubai shook his head, but before he could explain.
Xiao Wu started to laugh triumphantly.
"What's there to be afraid of? Leave it to Ye Qiu and me. Forget about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, maybe we can even beat him up!"
"Ah! Ye Qiu~"
As soon as the words left her mouth, Xiao Wu's body trembled.
She grabbed Ye Qiu's mischievous hand, which landed on her behind, and, with a blush, looked at him, puzzled.
She was met with a pair of annoyed, rolling eyes.
Ye Qiu hadn't expected this little rabbit to be so bold, actually wanting to drag him into a one-on-one fight with a Soul Sage.
"Ye Qiu, did I say something wrong?"
Xiao Wu held Ye Qiu's hand in hers, asking with confusion.
"Completely wrong!"
Dai Mubai chimed in first.
He looked at Xiao Wu with an expression that seemed to say she was an idiot.
"Hey! You sickly cat, what's with that look? You better believe Xiao Wu will beat you up!"
Xiao Wu immediately waved her hand, her face filled with ferocity.
Dai Mubai ignored her, saying calmly, "Teacher Zhao isn't just a Soul Emperor. He's a level seventy-six Aggressive Attack Type Battle Soul Sage. He's the academy's vice-principal, with overall strength second only to our principal."
Hearing this.
Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing's pupils contracted almost simultaneously.
Xiao Wu was also a little stunned.
Seventy-sixth rank Soul Sage?!
In Tang San's memory, his teacher had once said that even when facing an army of ten thousand, a Soul Sage-level soul master could move freely.
How could they possibly deal with this?
Besides their shock.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but look at Xiao Wu, who had just spoken such arrogant words, with a strange expression.
Xiao Wu's face immediately flushed red.
Xiao Wu huddled behind Ye Qiu.
Looking at Ye Qiu's shifty eyes, no wonder he wanted to spank her earlier.
He deserved it.
Ning Rongrong grinned, teasing.
Tang San looked at Ye Qiu with some curiosity. It seemed Ye Qiu had known about Zhao Wuji's cultivation level for a while.
Dai Mubai glanced at the incense that was stuck in the ground and said calmly, "Time is short. I'll briefly tell you about what Teacher Zhao is good at. Don't even think about trying to stop Teacher Zhao on your own. Coordinating and cooperating with each other is your only chance."
Speaking of which.
Dai Mubai specifically glanced at Xiao Wu.
Smiling, he said, "Otherwise, let alone the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, you'd be doing well to withstand Teacher Zhao's first wave of attacks."
"Hmph, who are you looking down on? I can take his attack head-on without a problem."
Xiao Wu pouted, as if to regain some face and make up for her previous blunder.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's expressions were unreadable. Their gazes at Xiao Wu held a hint of sympathy and concern.
But this time, Ye Qiu didn't bother to remind Xiao Wu again. He just smiled.
After all, Xiao Wu was telling the truth.
Her Fourth Soul Skill, Invincible Golden Body, when used by Ye Qiu now, made him a three-second man, regardless of the situation, below the God level.
Ye Qiu smiled.
Xiao Wu also laughed, pulling Ye Qiu closer.
Ye Qiu was also a little excited.
After merging with Xiao Wu later, how far could they push Zhao Wuji?
They should be able to do better than Tang San, right?!
Wishing everyone a pleasant life!
