Zhao Wuji, Who Didn't Know His Own Strength

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing watched Zhao Wuji slowly rise to his feet and decided to press their advantage. They charged forward at once. Xiao Wu unleashed her First Soul Skill, Waist Bow, while Zhu Zhuqing used Hell Stab. Tang San used Blue Silver Grass to deny Zhao Wuji any point of leverage.

With a boom, Zhao Wuji, who had just gotten up, crashed to the ground again.

Looking somewhat disheveled, Zhao Wuji laughed heartily. "Shrek Academy has truly struck gold this time. Looks like I need to get serious, or these little brats will look down on me. Xiao Bai, watch closely. This is what a true Assault System Soul Master looks like." As he spoke, Zhao Wuji's First Soul Ring and Second Soul Ring lit up in succession.

First Soul Skill—Immovable Wisdom King Body.

Second Soul Skill—Great Strength Vajra Palm.

Zhao Wuji's body glowed with golden light under the effects of Immovable Wisdom King Body. The charging Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were immediately blasted away, but Zhao Wuji followed right after them. He struck both girls with Great Strength Vajra Palm, and two muffled groans rang out.

Great Strength Vajra Palm under the Immovable Wisdom King Body state was not something two Soul Grandmasters could withstand.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing both spat out blood, crashing down nearby. They had fallen unconscious and were barely clinging to life.

"Xiao Wu!" Tang San cried out in anguish. Xiao Wu was Tang San's reverse scale. Seeing her so severely injured left him unable to remain calm, and his eyes instantly turned red.

"This is bad. I hit too hard." Zhao Wuji was deeply regretful. Qian Yuling's Summoned Beasts had beaten him until he coughed blood, rousing his fighting spirit so much that he had failed to hold back.

Ning Rongrong was also extremely anxious. Her Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda's current two Soul Skills had no healing effect at all. Yet if Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were not treated quickly, they would lose their lives.

Dai Mubai stood there dumbfounded. Like Tang San, seeing Zhu Zhuqing in such a state left his mind blank. He could only stand rooted to the spot, at a complete loss.

"Xiao Wu! Xiao Wu!" Xiao Wu was the only thing in Tang San's eyes now. He kept shaking her, but she gave no response whatsoever.

Qian Yuling looked toward Louise, who nodded at her.

The Summoned Beasts were dismissed. Qian Yuling waved her staff, and the four High-level Spirits vanished from the field.

Qian Yuling intended to use all her Soul Power to sustain Louise.

"Louise, Healing Spell." Qian Yuling's voice rang out.

Zhao Wuji slowly raised his head. Dai Mubai and Tang San looked toward Qian Yuling, while Ning Rongrong was filled with hope as well.

Qian Yuling's words gave everyone present a sense of hope.

Louise raised her staff, and two green lights shone over Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing.

By then, the incense stick in the field had completely burned out. Zhao Wuji had struck far too heavily, so Louise's healing proceeded very slowly. After all, Louise's healing ability was not particularly strong.

Qian Yuling's Soul Power was nearly drained dry before Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were barely pulled back from the brink of death.

With too little Soul Power left to sustain Louise, Qian Yuling watched as Louise disappeared from the field.

Qian Yuling wanted to sit down and recover some Soul Power, but when she had only half-squatted, she suddenly remembered that she seemed to be wearing a short skirt. Her pretty face flushed, and she stood back up.

"Brother..." Xiao Wu opened her eyes and managed to utter a single word. She was extremely weak.

"I'm here." Tang San wanted to cry more than anything at that moment. Xiao Wu's recovery was the happiest thing in the world to him.

However, after calling out once, Xiao Wu fainted again.

"Xiao Wu?" Tang San became anxious once more.

Zhu Zhuqing was the same. She woke up, but the exhaustion in her body made her pass out again.

"Don't worry. They're both very weak right now. They'll be fine after resting for a night." Qian Yuling's words sounded like heavenly music to Tang San.

"Great kindness needs no words of thanks. If you ever need anything from me, just say the word. I'll certainly do everything in my power." Tang San clasped his fists toward Qian Yuling in gratitude, then handed Xiao Wu over to Ning Rongrong.

Dai Mubai also wanted to pick up Zhu Zhuqing, but Qian Yuling beat him to it.

Dai Mubai felt awkward beneath Qian Yuling's thief-guarding stare and gave an embarrassed smile.

"Hmph." The haughty Qian Yuling picked up Zhu Zhuqing and handed her over to Ning Rongrong as well.

Ning Rongrong was now holding Xiao Wu in her left arm and Zhu Zhuqing in her right. Still, with the strength of a Soul Grandmaster, carrying two girls under twelve years old posed no difficulty for her.

Dai Mubai looked at Ning Rongrong's right hand with a wave of envy.

Seeing this, Zhao Wuji finally let out the breath he had been holding. Fortunately, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were all right. Otherwise, he would have become a sinner of Shrek Academy.

Not far away, a man in black robes observed everything in the field. Zhao Wuji, just wait until tonight.

Tang San slowly walked toward Zhao Wuji. The blood-red color had faded from his eyes, but his gaze remained ice-cold.

"What? You still want to fight? That incense stick has already burned out. You've passed the test," Zhao Wuji said, stunned.

Qian Yuling had given him far too many surprises, as had the other students. Though they had only displayed their strength for a short time, their coordination earned Zhao Wuji's great admiration. These children had limitless futures ahead of them.

Tang San nodded. Although all five of them had passed the test and Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were now out of danger, he could not let it go. He had to avenge Xiao Wu's injuries. Without Qian Yuling's healing, Tang San did not dare imagine the consequences.

"I want to fight you again and last for another One Incense Stick. If I lose, I'll leave Shrek Academy." Tang San's voice was resolute.

"I apologize to all of you for what happened just now. Because of my carelessness, those two suffered such severe injuries." Zhao Wuji lowered his head in apology.

Tang San clearly did not accept Zhao Wuji's apology. He shook his head and said again, "I want to take the test again with you. If I lose, I'll leave Shrek Academy."

"Fine." Tang San's stubbornness moved Zhao Wuji somewhat. He sighed, and a third incense stick flew out, planting itself in the ground nearby.

Tang San stood with his feet in a loose stance, his inner strength slowly gathering throughout his body. By this point, he had no intention of hiding his strength any longer. Xiao Wu's grave injury had dealt an immense blow to his emotions, filling his heart with self-reproach. As an older brother who had failed to protect his sister, if he could not seek justice for her, what right did he have to bear the title of brother?

"Wait, Teacher Zhao. I want to change this test to Half an Incense Stick. As long as Tang San holds out for Half an Incense Stick, he passes. I'll take the remaining Half an Incense Stick. Like Tang San, if I lose, I'll leave Shrek Academy." Qian Yuling's voice rang out. Zhu Zhuqing was the first friend she had made here, and like Tang San, Qian Yuling wanted to avenge Zhu Zhuqing.

"You two? Sigh, this is all my fault. Fine, we'll do as you say." Zhao Wuji's helpless voice sounded out. This time, he decided to control his strength properly and absolutely not get carried away.

"Yu Ling, you?" Tang San was somewhat puzzled.

"Zhu Zhuqing is my good friend, and I've recovered some of my Soul Power too," Qian Yuling replied.

"Alright." Tang San readily agreed.

Zhao Wuji's voice rang out as well. "Then, the test begins."
