Finally, Zhao Wuji's legs went soft, and he collapsed directly on the ground, his whole body twitching, unable to even move a finger.
At this moment, his state was ten—no, twelve parts—not right.
Combined with his slightly wretched appearance, it added a few more hints of sleaziness.
"Vice Principal Zhao?" Ning Rongrong covered her mouth in surprise, the light of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda gradually dissipating.
Ning Rongrong trotted all the way to Fu Qin's side, her eyes full of admiration.
"Big Brother Fu Qin, you're too amazing! What Spirit Ability is this? To actually beat the Immovable Bright King like this!"
She subconsciously grabbed Fu Qin's arm, her soft body pressing against him, and the favorability on the system panel surged directly to 92 points.
Xiao Wu also ran over; although she didn't grab Fu Qin's arm, her small face was still full of pride.
"Fu Qin, you're awesome! I knew you could do it!"
Her cheek pressed against Fu Qin's shoulder, her eyes full of joy.
The favorability on the panel stabilized at 450 points.
Fu Qin felt the warm and fragrant beauty on both sides, feeling secretly pleased.
This treatment of his was much more nourishing than Tang San's previous life.
He looked down at Zhao Wuji lying on the ground, who was still twitching limply, his eyes unfocused, clearly not yet recovered from the extreme pleasure.
The panel displayed Zhao Wuji's status.
[Glandular secretion disorder, dual mental and physical exhaustion, temporarily lost combat capability].
Tang San stood aside, his expression complex to the extreme.
Watching Fu Qin surrounded by Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, his heart felt very unpleasant.
Fu Qin noticed this out of the corner of his eye and somewhat clumsily detached himself from Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong's embrace.
"Ahem, Sister Xiao Wu, Rongrong, men and women shouldn't be so intimate."
Seeing this, Tang San's hanging heart instantly settled.
But soon, Xiao Wu's next action was like a slap to the face, hitting Tang San hard.
Xiao Wu pouted her lips slightly in dissatisfaction and directly hugged Fu Qin's arm.
w(ﾟДﾟ)w
Tang San was stunned.
He never imagined that while Fu Qin hadn't made any overstepping moves, his wife from his previous life, Xiao Wu, would actually...
But what surprised him even more was the strength Fu Qin displayed.
The control of those nine flying daggers, the precise grasp of Zhao Wuji's Weak Point, and that bizarrely ridiculous Spirit Ability—every single thing shocked him.
He originally thought that returning from rebirth with the memories and experience of his previous life, he would surely lead everyone, but Fu Qin's appearance broke his understanding time and again.
Zhu Zhuqing walked to Zhao Wuji's side, confirmed he truly lost the ability to resist, and then turned to look at Fu Qin, her eyes carrying a trace of imperceptible admiration.
On the panel, her favorability towards Fu Qin finally broke 20 points.
[Inner Emotion: Acknowledges strength, feels a hint of curiosity].
"This... we won just like that?" Dai Mubai recovered from his shock, looking at Zhao Wuji on the ground and then at Fu Qin surrounded by Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu, not knowing what to say for a moment.
He originally thought this assessment would be a fierce battle, but he didn't expect Fu Qin to easily solve the Immovable Bright King in such a bizarre way.
Fu Qin smiled and gently pushed Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu's hands back.
"It was just luck; it's mainly because everyone cooperated well."
[Intelligence Reduction Halo in effect. These words made Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu feel he was too humble, and their favorability each increased by 3 points.]
After a long time.
Zhao Wuji, lying on the ground, finally caught his breath. He struggled to climb up but found his body still limp and weak, so he could only glare at Fu Qin, his tone complex.
"Kid, this Spirit Ability of yours... is too sinister, isn't it?"
He had lived so long and it was the first time he encountered a move that made one feel so comfortable they lost the ability to resist; it was embarrassing just to speak of it.
Fu Qin shrugged with an innocent look.
"Principal Zhao, all's fair in war. We just wanted to pass the assessment, not hurt you."
[Intelligence Reduction Halo in effect. Zhao Wuji actually felt these words made a lot of sense and gave a slightly resentful snort.]
Fu Qin felt the complex gaze from Tang San, and an imperceptible smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
...
Before long, Zhao Wuji patted his buttocks and turned to leave quite cheerfully.
Fu Qin felt the soft touch of Xiao Wu on his arm, her faint fragrance lingering around his nose; her favorability on the panel had already soared to 460 points.
He turned to look at the pale-faced Tang San, a hint of playfulness flashing in his eyes, and took the initiative to walk over.
"Third Brother, I'm sorry." Fu Qin showed a guilty expression, his tone sincere.
"When we sparred before, I never dared to use my full strength for fear of hurting you. After all, we are sworn brothers; I didn't want to ruin the harmony because of a match."
[Intelligence Reduction Halo in effect. Tang San concluded that "Fu Qin hiding his strength was to protect himself".]
[Tang San's thoughts: So that's it! Fu Qin is indeed a man of loyalty and righteousness, a younger brother worth cultivating. His talent is so strong, yet he is willing to restrain his edge for his brother. If I win him over well in the future, he will definitely be a capable assistant on my path to Becoming a God!]
The jealousy and dissatisfaction in Tang San's heart instantly vanished, replaced by recognition and appreciation for Fu Qin.
He patted Fu Qin's shoulder and laughed heartily.
"Fu Qin, you're being too polite! Sparring between brothers should stop at the right point. I'm very moved that you have this heart, Third Brother."
Xiao Wu stood aside, and hearing Fu Qin's words, her gaze toward him became increasingly fervent.
Her favorability on the panel surged again by 15 points, breaking 475 points.
She didn't expect Fu Qin to not only be powerful but also so loyal and righteous. To avoid hurting Tang San, he had actually been hiding his strength. This gentleness and consideration were things she had never seen in Tang San.
"Brother Fu Qin, you're so good."
Xiao Wu stepped forward and tightly hugged Fu Qin's arm, her tone carrying a hint of joy.
Tang San looked at the intimate appearance of the two. Although there was still a trace of hard-to-detect awkwardness in his heart, he felt relieved when he thought that Fu Qin was his younger brother and Xiao Wu was his future wife.
He felt that Xiao Wu only treated Fu Qin as a younger brother, and her feelings for him would not change.
After everyone successfully passed the assessment, Dai Mubai took them to assign dormitories.
Shrek's dormitories were very simple, all uniform farmhouse adobe houses, but they had the advantage of being "clean and hygienic."
"Xiao Wu, you stay in this one alone." Dai Mubai pointed to the room on the far east.
"Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, you two stay next door. Fu Qin, you stay in this one."
He pointed to a room in the middle and finally looked at Tang San.
"Tang San, Oscar, Ma Hongjun and I stay on the far west. Do you want to join us? It's livelier with more people."
Tang San's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded.
"Sure." He had his own little calculation in his heart.
In his previous life, the relationship between him and Dai Mubai and the others was actually not that good in the early stages.
But now that he had been reborn, he naturally wanted to consolidate his team in advance and urge them to cultivate more, striving to make them all First-Class Gods by the time they achieved Becoming a God.
