Sister Xiao Wu's Fearsome Reputation Shakes the Academy
Zhao Wuji turned to the side and said, "Oh? Tai Long, they all Shrek Academy before you, just like Xiao Wu." As he spoke, he suddenly remembered that Tai Long's family seemed to be...
Xiang Yang immediately recognized the man as a gorilla, and upon hearing Zhao Wuji's address to him, he became even more certain: he was indeed from the Great Strength Gorilla Clan.
Thinking of this, Xiang Yang naturally looked at Tang San, "Very good, the first team has been delivered to our doorstep."
Given the nature of the Strength Clan, they would immediately bow down and worship upon seeing the Clear Sky Hammer, not to mention that Tang Hao was currently in the Ice and Fire Xiang Yang Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. So Xiang Yang stepped forward and greeted him in a friendly manner, "Hello, Tai Long, I am Xiang Yang, and this is Tang San."
Unexpectedly, Tai Long's expression changed upon hearing this. "Tang San? He's the Tang San that Sister Xiao Wu and the other senior students are talking about?"
Xiang Yang felt something was strange. After Xiao Wu absorbed the Immortal Herb Self-Condensed Soul Ring, her cultivation level soared to level forty-two. How could she still be entangled with Tai Long like in the original story?
Tang San was equally confused, but as the saying goes, "A clear conscience fears no accusation," so he said, "I am Tang San. What do you want?"
Tai Long's previously imposing expression immediately crumbled. He walked over and said somewhat obsequiously, "It's nothing, it's nothing. Sister Xiao Wu said that you should treat her with the same respect you would show her. You're not only her third brother, but also our eldest brother!"
Then he turned to the students who had been standing behind him and said eagerly, "This is Senior Tang San, he'll be our big brother from now on, quickly say hello!"
These people shouted loudly without the slightest hesitation:
"Hello, elder brother!"
It's quite tidy.
The commotion left the two returning students speechless. Zhao Wuji sighed, "Sigh, without you two, Xiao Wu is like a wild horse that's broken free. Now, apart from us teachers, there are hardly any students in the academy who aren't afraid of her."
Zhao Wuji originally wanted to say "a wild rabbit that has escaped its cage," but since Xiao Wu really is a rabbit, just like he didn't want to hear people call her a bear, he changed his words.
The teachers here refer specifically to the original Shrek Academy teachers. Most of the original teachers at the Blue Tyrant Academy were Soul Ancestor, with very few Soul Kings, so they would have had a hard time dealing with Xiao Wu.
The complaints from the students could only be ignored. After all, Soul Masters are ultimately a combat profession, and it's good for students to have more fights; it's better than having no experience later.
Looking at the scene before him, Xiang Yang suddenly remembered that it had actually happened before at the Nuoding Academy. Back then, Xiao Wu was her big sister, Tang San cheered her on, and he was the one giving advice from the side.
All that talk about unified slogans and orderly lining up was just a game for kids back then, since everyone was young. Who would have thought that Xiao Wu would reenact her "conquest" at Shrek Academy after so many years?
Zhao Wuji and the other former Shrek teachers were actually quite accepting of it. After all, their previous teaching methods were basically to let students grow through fighting, so coming to such a "civilized" place was a bit of an adjustment.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Wu, who had just returned from absorbing the Immortal Herb, had only stayed for less than two days when, as if automatically triggering some underlying code, she had subdued all the troublemakers from the former Blue Tyrant Academy.
With Ning Rongrong stirring things up and getting Zhu Zhuqing involved, Zhu Zhuqing has now been promoted to "Shrek Sister Xiao Wu," and even Dai Mubai sometimes has to avoid her.
Zhao Wuji said, "Tai Long was originally assigned as a substitute player for you, so this is a good opportunity for you to get to know each other beforehand." Then, as if remembering something, he continued, "By the way, you two should also come and watch."
"This..." Tang San hesitated for a moment. It had been more than half a year since they last met, and he really wanted to get together with his friends.
Xiang Yang agreed, pulling him along, and said, "Let's go, there's no rush. Besides, Xiao Wu and the others might not still be cultivating there. We can familiarize ourselves with the academy first."
Tang San nodded and said, "Alright."
A group of people arrived in a wide-open space, which was the training ground of the former Blue Tyrant Academy, now Shrek Academy. There were dozens of arenas of different sizes, arranged in a ring from small to large.
Zhao Wuji found a single arena nearby, turned around and looked back, wondering who to let go up and show off first. Then he saw Tai Long at the back of the group actively talking to Tang San, clearly trying to build a good relationship with him.
Zhao Wuji was speechless. How could a grown man be afraid of fighting? Xiao Wu hadn't even hit him that hard, and she was just a pretty young girl. What was there to be afraid of?
So Zhao Wuji waved his hand and called out, "Tai Long, come here!"
Hearing his call, Tai Long immediately reacted, said goodbye to the two, and ran over, "I'm here, Teacher Zhao." Then he looked around at the students and asked, "Teacher Zhao, who do I play against?"
Tai Long was originally the strongest student at the Blue Tyrant Academy. Apart from a few members of Shrek, he had hardly ever lost. Now, he was somewhat eager to try his luck. After all, what Soul Master of this age wouldn't want to show off their strength and earn the respect of others?
Especially after Xiao Wu stirred things up, they witnessed geniuses who surpassed them, and became even more diligent in their cultivation.
For example, thanks to the academy's training and Xiao Wu's influence, Tai Long's Soul Power has increased by one level, and he is now at level thirty-eight.
Just as Tai Long was feeling quite smug, he suddenly heard Zhao Wuji say, "I'll fight you."
Tai Long was immediately dumbfounded, "Huh?"
Immovable Wisdom King going to fight me? Really? Will I win?
Are you kidding me? That would kill the gorilla!
Although Tai Long shook his head vigorously, Zhao Wuji ignored him, grabbed him by the collar, and lifted him onto the arena, saying, "Weren't you curious about why Xiao Wu and the others are so strong?"
These words immediately caught the students' attention. He turned around and continued, "They've been fighting me since they were Soul Grandmaster, while you? At most, you've only fought teachers one level higher than yourselves. How could you possibly catch up with them?"
Zhao Wuji deliberately didn't mention their talents, lest these students give up because of it. He had been feeling really stifled lately. Although teaching more students was great, it was no fun compared to these Little Monsters.
Moreover, although these people are said to be commoners, their families all have some connections, and some even belong to Strength Clans like Tai Long. How can they act as freely as before?
Upon hearing his words, the students, including Tai Long, all looked at Tang San and Xiang Yang. The two exchanged a glance, and Tang San said, "Teacher Zhao is right," but he didn't finish his sentence.
Hearing this, Tai Long gritted his teeth, raised his head, and said, "Alright, let me experience Sister Xiao Wu's training methods!"
Zhao Wuji's tone carried a hint of encouragement. "Yes, that's right. If you're afraid to fight Soul Master stronger than yourself, what kind of Soul Master are you!"
Xiang Yang watched as Tai Long, spurred on by Zhao Wuji's motivational speech, roared and charged forward. He thought to himself, "That's true, but you can't be dozens of levels above him like that! Besides, you're known for your fearsome reputation; it's no wonder ordinary Soul Masters feel pressured."
Bang! Bang!
Seeing that Tai Long was getting along very well with him, Xiang Yang turned to Tang San and said, "I think Teacher Zhao is just warming up. He'll definitely want to greet us later."
Tang San agreed, saying, "I felt the same way; otherwise, there would have been no need for us to come together."
