Qian Yuling sensed Louise's movement and swiftly retreated.

Zhao Wuji found it strange. Suddenly, his expression changed. Looking up, he saw that familiar meteorite about to fall on his head. Without a second thought, he hurriedly activated his Seventh Soul SkillMartial Soul Avatar.

With his Martial Soul Avatar activated, Zhao Wuji was on an entirely different level from before. The meteorite attack that had made him cough up blood earlier now caused him no harm whatsoever.

"Teacher Zhao actually activated his Martial Soul Avatar. Just how strong is this junior sister?" Oscar no longer knew how to describe his feelings.

Dai Mubai and the others felt the same way as Oscar.

As for Zhao Wuji, he had activated his Martial Soul Avatar just to deal with a Soul Ancestor. This time, he had truly embarrassed himself. If that old bastard Flender found out, he would never be able to hold his head up again. Later, he would have to threaten these little brats and make sure they did not tell anyone. But for now, he needed to end this battle quickly.

"Great Strength Vajra Roar." Zhao Wuji's sixth soul ring began to glow black. His target was Qian Yuling. Zhao Wuji had not considered that if this attack hit an ordinary Soul Ancestor, they might be instantly finished.

The Great Strength Vajra Roar unleashed by Zhao Wuji after activating his Martial Soul Avatar was something even a Soul Saint of the same rank might not be able to withstand, let alone a Soul Ancestor.

"Has Teacher Zhao gone mad?" The moment Zhao Wuji's sixth soul ring lit up, Dai Mubai decisively pulled everyone present far away.

Louise instantly teleported to Qian Yuling's side, wrapped her arms around her, and floated into the air, evading Zhao Wuji's Great Strength Vajra Roar.

Zhao Wuji had enjoyed that roar, but when he opened his eyes, he found no one in front of him.

Cold sweat kept pouring down Zhao Wuji's face. Had his Great Strength Vajra Roar directly reduced Qian Yuling to nothing?

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. With his Martial Soul Avatar activated, and then using his Sixth Soul Skill, Great Strength Vajra Roar, forget a Soul Ancestor—even a Soul Saint of the same rank could not withstand it.

It was over. All over. He had destroyed the most monstrous student in this group.

Disheartened, Zhao Wuji planned to leave Shrek Academy later and never serve as its vice dean again.

Hm? He seemed to sense something. Zhao Wuji abruptly looked up and saw Louise holding Qian Yuling as they slowly descended, finally landing steadily on the ground.

At that moment, Zhao Wuji understood. His Sixth Soul Skill had not hit them at all.

Thinking of this, Zhao Wuji let out a sigh of relief. Thankfully, he had not caused a catastrophe. To keep himself from losing his head again, Zhao Wuji hurriedly deactivated his Martial Soul Avatar and returned to his original form.

Qian Yuling also dismissed Louise. She already understood the gap in strength between herself and Zhao Wuji, a Soul Saint. However, this test had not required her to defeat Zhao Wuji. If all she had to do was stall for time, then after activating Jieyi Gong, it could not have been easier.

When Zhao Wuji saw Qian Yuling dismiss Louise, he was somewhat stunned. Was Qian Yuling planning to fight him hand-to-hand?

This time, Zhao Wuji was right.

Qian Yuling shot forward. She was faster than Zhao Wuji could react, and since they were not far apart, she appeared behind him in an instant. With her small fist, she threw a punch at Zhao Wuji's back.

The same scene played out again. Zhao Wuji stumbled back three steps, turned around, and unleashed a Great Strength Vajra Palm. Yet with a slight shift in position, Qian Yuling caused Zhao Wuji's attack to miss.

"This movement technique seems even more exquisite than my Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track," Tang San pondered. But Tang San was completely overthinking it. Qian Yuling had merely dodged Zhao Wuji's attack through pure instinct.

Ordinary people had to process things through their brains first, let their brains react, and then move.

But the Jieyi Gong Qian Yuling had learned completely skipped the step of processing through the brain, allowing her body to evade attacks on its own. Combined with the speed her current physical strength could unleash, Zhao Wuji had no way to hit her.

Zhao Wuji was not surprised at all that Qian Yuling had dodged his Great Strength Vajra Palm. After all, he had already witnessed her speed.

Third Soul SkillGravity Enhancement.

Zhao Wuji's third soul ring began to shine.

Qian Yuling also felt the gravity around her increase considerably, but to her current self, Zhao Wuji's move was practically useless. Still, to be safe, Qian Yuling put some distance between herself and Zhao Wuji.

Fourth Soul SkillPosition Tracking.

Zhao Wuji locked onto Qian Yuling.

The advantage of Zhao Wuji's skill was that once he locked onto a target, he could directly appear before them and attack as long as they were within a certain distance.

Zhao Wuji appeared before Qian Yuling and unleashed a Great Strength Vajra Palm.

Against any other student, the combination of Zhao Wuji's Fourth Soul Skill and Second Soul Skill was practically guaranteed to hit. Even Zhu Zhuqing would not be an exception.

But unfortunately for Zhao Wuji, he was facing Qian Yuling.

The power of Jieyi Gong caused Zhao Wuji's Great Strength Vajra Palm to miss once more.

After that, Zhao Wuji repeatedly used Position Tracking to appear before Qian Yuling, then attacked her with Great Strength Vajra Palm.

Yet Qian Yuling always dodged Zhao Wuji's attacks. It left Zhao Wuji deeply frustrated, but there was nothing he could do.

The incense stick in the distance had long since burned out. From beginning to end, the only time Zhao Wuji had hit Qian Yuling was with his Fifth Soul SkillGravity Crush. But that move had also been ineffective against Qian Yuling; her physical strength was simply too high.

This test had been forcibly dragged out by Qian Yuling for an entire One Incense Stick. It should have taken only Half an Incense Stick, but the two had gotten so caught up in the fight that no one noticed even after the incense had burned out.

Dai Mubai and the others outside the arena had also been watching the battle the entire time. No one paid attention to the incense stick.

"Mubai, arrange lodging for the five new students. Classes begin tomorrow." Zhao Wuji left behind those words and departed. He had humiliated himself terribly today.

At that moment, a black-robed man in the distance watched Zhao Wuji leave, a curve rising at the corner of his lips.

"Yu Ling, you were amazing." Zhu Zhuqing jogged over and praised Qian Yuling.

"Not really. I was only so-so." Qian Yuling spoke modestly on the surface, but inwardly, she was extremely proud.

Supported by Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu slowly walked over as well. "Yu Ling, thank you."

Of course, Qian Yuling knew Xiao Wu was thanking her for saving her earlier. She smiled and replied, "We'll be classmates from now on. It was only right."

Because Xiao Wu had not eaten Oscar's Great Recovery Sausage, she was still very weak. The test was over, and she could no longer resist her drowsiness. She fell asleep in Ning Rongrong's arms, and sensing this, Ning Rongrong picked Xiao Wu up in her arms.

Tang San grew nervous again when he saw this scene.

"Don't worry. Xiao Wu is just asleep." Ning Rongrong's voice rang out, easing Tang San's worries considerably.

At that moment, Oscar also appeared before Qian Yuling. Remembering some of the things Zhu Zhuqing had told her, Qian Yuling's expression immediately turned icy, making people afraid to approach.

Oscar halted the step he had been about to take forward, then turned to Dai Mubai and said, "Boss Dai, have Teacher Zhao settle the bill later."

Dai Mubai shot Oscar a glare. "Go yourself."

Oscar chuckled, then turned his gaze toward Ning Rongrong, who was holding Xiao Wu. His eyes immediately lit up.
