Head Straight to the Fourth Test

Head Straight to the Fourth Test

Hearing everyone laugh, even Oscar, thick-skinned as he was, felt terribly embarrassed and could only offer a weak defense.

"I can't help it either. When a food-type martial soul is used, different Soul Chants are needed to make the food change. That line is the chant, not something I want to shout. Besides, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the quality of my sausages."

Although Oscar tried his best to explain himself, everyone continued laughing without restraint. He could only stand awkwardly to the side and cast a pleading look at Dai Mubai, hoping he would put in a good word for him.

But he was disappointed. Seeing how happily everyone was laughing, Dai Mubai completely ignored Oscar's plea and joined in with them.

"Alright, there's nothing funny about it. Every food-type Soul Master has to say a chant before using a soul skill. It's not something they can control themselves."

Hearing Yin Hao's words, Xiao Wu and the others gradually calmed down.

Oscar gave Yin Hao a grateful look and said,

"This brother is the reasonable one..."

Everyone had already stopped laughing, but Oscar's words, "this brother," successfully made them burst out laughing again, and this time they could not stop.

"Hahaha... Hao... Hao Ge... he called you... hahaha... he called you brother... This uncle actually... actually called you brother..."

Xiao Wu laughed so hard she could not stand straight, bending over and clutching her stomach as she cackled.

Oscar had originally wanted to pat Yin Hao on the shoulder, but before his hand could fall, he heard everyone laughing again.

With his full beard and uncle-like appearance, it was no wonder people mistook him for an uncle.

Yin Hao definitely held back his laughter. After all, he was Yin—helpful, good at making friends, sincere and friendly, young gentleman—Hao.

Dai Mubai laughed too, even more wildly than the others.

Oscar stiffly tried to defend himself.

"What are you laughing at? I'm only fourteen!"

Hearing that, everyone's laughter paused for a second before erupting even louder.

Oscar's face flushed crimson, and he did not know how to explain himself.

Fortunately, Dai Mubai spoke up for him this time.

"Ahem... He really is fourteen, and he's one of our academy's students.

"Maybe because of his food martial soul, his hair grows much more thickly than normal. If he goes a day without shaving, his beard turns into this, so he has the nickname Big Sausage Uncle at the academy."

"That's right! My hair is just a little thick! I really am only fourteen!"

After that explanation, everyone accepted this "uncle" student's identity. After offering him their "sincere" apologies, they continued walking deeper into the academy.

When they reached the second test, Dai Mubai stopped them first, then walked over and whispered a few words into the middle-aged Master's ear.

The middle-aged Master nodded and said,

"If that's the case, take them directly to the fourth test..."

His voice was not quiet, and the examinees waiting in line nearby immediately objected.

A young man spoke indignantly.

"Master, what's going on? Why can they skip straight to the fourth test while we have to pass each test one by one?"

The middle-aged Master did not get angry. He merely replied calmly,

"If your Soul Power exceeds level twenty-five as well, you can go directly to the fourth test without wasting time here. But your Soul Power tested at only level twenty-one, so you must pass each test one at a time."

The young man looked unconvinced.

"Their Soul Power is above level twenty-five? That's impossible. We're all only twelve years old. How could anyone have such high Soul Power?"

Dai Mubai snorted coldly and said to him,

"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't either. When I entered the academy, my Soul Power was already level twenty-five."

As he spoke, he picked up a crystal ball from the table and handed it to Tang San, who was standing closest to him.

Tang San did not waste words. He directly poured his Soul Power into it. In an instant, the crystal ball released a dazzling glow. Though it did not light up completely, most of it shone brightly.

"Level twenty-five Soul Power."

Dai Mubai directly announced Tang San's test result.

The young man swallowed hard and looked at Tang San in disbelief.

Tang San seemed to enjoy the feeling as well, but he still put on a humble expression and handed the crystal ball back.

The young man remained unconvinced and pointed at Xiao Wu and the others behind him.

"What about them? Don't tell me they've all reached level twenty-five too?"

Seeing that he still refused to give up, Dai Mubai handed the crystal ball to Xiao Wu.

Another burst of white light appeared, even brighter than when Tang San had tested. It nearly filled the entire crystal ball.

"Level twenty-nine Soul Power."

After Dai Mubai announced Xiao Wu's Soul Power, she skipped back to Yin Hao's side, hugged his arm, and looked at him proudly. Her face practically spelled out six words: Praise me, praise me now!

Yin Hao raised his other hand and patted Xiao Wu's little head. Xiao Wu closed her eyes in enjoyment and let Yin Hao stroke her.

Zhu Zhuqing's expression could not help turning even colder when she saw this, but her face had been cold to begin with, so no one noticed.

Taking the crystal ball from Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing poured her Soul Power into it as well.

"Level twenty-seven Soul Power."

In truth, Zhu Zhuqing's talent was the weakest among the original Shrek Seven Monsters. Yet even so, through her own efforts, she became the second of them to break through to Soul Douluo, leaving Dai Mubai, who was still at the Soul Sage realm, far behind.

Next was Ning Rongrong, with level twenty-six Soul Power.

When she handed the crystal ball to Yin Hao, Dai Mubai hurried forward to stop him. The young man, who had been deeply disappointed, instantly perked up, but before he could speak, Dai Mubai's voice reached him.

"No, no, no... This crystal ball can only test Soul Power below level thirty. If you use it, you'll make it burst. It costs ten Gold Soul Coins each..."

Hearing that, the young man, who had still hoped Yin Hao was not that strong, was dumbfounded. Level thirty at twelve years old? Were you using cheats or something?

"I don't believe it! I don't believe anyone can reach level thirty at twelve..."

Before he could finish, the three soul rings around Yin Hao shut him up. He then returned to the line with a devastated expression.

The middle-aged Master handling the second test, who was sitting nearby, nodded with an irrepressible smile.

"There are monsters every year, but this year there are especially many. Five at once. Good, good. Looks like I have hope of getting a raise. Mubai, take the five of them to the fourth test."

Dai Mubai nodded, then called to them.

"Let's go. I'll take you to the fourth test."
