Immovable Bright King Zhao Wuji

When they arrived at the fourth test grounds, they saw a middle-aged man lazily dozing in a chair. As expected, he was Zhao Wuji.

"Teacher Zhao, I've brought people for the fourth test."

"Hm? People have made it to the fourth test this year? And there are five of them?"

Zhao Wuji looked at Yin Hao and the others in surprise. Since Shrek Academy had been founded, this was the first time so many people had reached the fourth test at once.

Dai Mubai continued, addressing Zhao Wuji.

"Not only have all five of them reached the fourth test, but they were all exempted from the second and third tests."

Hearing that, Zhao Wuji became interested. He sized up Yin Hao and the others before speaking.

"All five are above level twenty-five. Not bad, not bad. Looks like there are quite a few little monsters this year. This is the final test. Pass my assessment, and you'll officially become members of Shrek Academy. However, my test won't be so easy to pass. Actual combat experience is something every Soul Master must possess. What I'll be assessing is your ability in that regard."

"My name is Zhao Wuji. Since the four of you passed the second and third tests without being tested, I'll personally have some fun with you. I'll give you one Incense Stick's worth of time to get to know each other and discuss things. Once the incense burns out, the test will begin. The content of the test is for the five of you to join forces and withstand my attacks for one Incense Stick's worth of time. As long as even one of you lasts until the end, all of you will pass. I hope you understand that you shouldn't try to exploit any loopholes. No one can escape this area with speed. At the same time, I can remind you that none of you can block my attacks alone. Coordinating and working together is your only chance of success."

"Teacher Zhao, isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Dai Mubai said hesitantly.

Zhao Wuji glared at him and said.

"What's inappropriate about it? The Dean isn't here, so I'm the biggest one in the academy. If I say it's fine, then it's fine. All right, I'm lighting the incense. You don't have much time, so prepare yourselves. Xiao Bai, you can also tell them about my abilities and traits so they can be somewhat prepared."

After saying that, no one knew where he pulled out a stick of incense from. He rubbed the incense tip between his fingers, directly lighting it. With a flick of his hand, the incense embedded itself in the ground without the slightest tremor.

After finishing this, Zhao Wuji returned to his chair, closed his eyes, and continued sleeping.

Left with no choice, Dai Mubai returned to Yin Hao's group and said.

"Everyone, it's not that I don't want to help you. This time... it's just... Teacher Zhao is personally stepping in, so there's nothing I can do..."

As Dai Mubai spoke, he also glanced at Zhu Zhuqing's reaction, but he could not make out any change in her expression.

Xiao Wu waved her hand indifferently.

"If he's personally stepping in, then he's personally stepping in. Isn't it just one Incense Stick? With Hao Gege here, it doesn't matter even if he's a Soul Emperor..."

As she spoke, the hands holding Yin Hao's arm tightened even further.

Yin Hao remained expressionless on the surface, but inwardly, he slowly nodded.

Looks like Xiao Wu really has "grown up"...

Dai Mubai rolled his eyes at Xiao Wu speechlessly. He had finally seen clearly that the girl beside Yin Hao knew nothing but causing trouble and looking for her "Hao Gege."

Dai Mubai continued.

"Teacher Zhao isn't a Soul Emperor-level Soul Master in the sixtieth-level range. He's a level seventy-six Soul Sage. A Beast Martial Soul, a battle-type Soul Sage. He's the academy's vice dean, and his overall strength is second only to the Dean."

"A Soul Sage?"

Even Xiao Wu froze. A level seventy-six Soul Sage with a Beast Martial Soul—no matter how foolish she was, she could imagine how difficult it would be to endure one Incense Stick under him.

Dai Mubai gave a bitter smile.

"Originally, Teacher Zhao was only responsible for proctoring the fourth test. Your opponent should have been me. As long as you lasted one Incense Stick's worth of time against me, you would have passed. But who knew what was wrong with him today? He actually wants to step in personally."

"Teacher Zhao's Martial Soul is the Vajra Bear, a powerful Beast Martial Soul. His entire body has no weaknesses, and his defense is extremely terrifying. Even Soul Masters at the same level as him find it difficult to break through his defense and injure him. Although speed isn't Teacher Zhao's specialty, the gap between your Soul Power and his is simply too great. You can't possibly be faster than him in that regard either. Teacher Zhao's greatest strengths are his attack power and defense. In the academy, he has the nickname Immovable Bright King. Forget the five of you—even if I joined you, we might not be able to withstand his attacks for one Incense Stick. Right now, I can only hope Teacher Zhao won't be too serious when attacking you."

As he spoke, Dai Mubai glanced at Zhu Zhuqing again. He was now basically certain that this girl with the Netherworld Cat Martial Soul was his fiancée.

She had come from so far away to find him, and after finally meeting him, if Teacher Zhao ruined things, then they'd really be screwed!

Not to mention that figure of hers...

Dai Mubai licked his lips. He had to admit, the Zhu family's genes were truly excellent...

Perhaps noticing Dai Mubai's gaze, Zhu Zhuqing shot him a cold glare. Knowing he was in the wrong, Dai Mubai hurriedly withdrew his eyes.

Meanwhile, upon hearing the words Vajra Bear and Teacher Zhao, Ning Rongrong suddenly cried out.

"So he's Immovable Bright King Zhao Wuji. He disappeared from the continent for ten years, yet I never expected him to be a teacher at Shrek Academy. Back then, Immovable Bright King Zhao Wuji had a grudge against Spirit Hall. Spirit Hall wanted to punish him, but he forced his way out of the siege of sixteen bishops. Later, the matter was simply dropped. Spirit Hall's bishops were all Soul Emperor-level experts above level sixty at minimum. Zhao Wuji should only have been in his sixties back then. Wouldn't he be even stronger now?"

Dai Mubai silently nodded. "At the very least, I've never seen Teacher Zhao go all out. So, you should pray for yourselves. Of Teacher Zhao's seven Soul Rings, the first two are hundred-year Soul Rings, the third and Fourth Soul Rings are thousand-year Soul Rings, and the final three are all ten-thousand-year Soul Rings. Furthermore, all seven Soul Rings grant attack and defense abilities. You should be able to imagine how terrifying he is. Now, introduce yourselves and state your names and abilities. See how you can cooperate to best withstand Teacher Zhao's test."

Yin Hao revealed a friendly smile. Coupled with his handsome appearance, it was easy for people to form a favorable impression of him.

"My name is Yin Hao. My Martial Soul is a mutated Blue Silver Grass. I'm a level thirty-six control-type Soul Master."

Right after Yin Hao finished speaking, Xiao Wu spoke as well.

"My name is Xiao Wu. My Martial Soul is the Soft Bone Rabbit. I'm a level twenty-nine assault-type Soul Master."

Tang San hurriedly spoke up too.

"My name is Tang San. My Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass. I'm a level twenty-five control-type Soul Master."

"Ning Rongrong. Tool Martial Soul, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Level twenty-six support-type Tool Soul Master."

"Zhu Zhuqing. Beast Martial Soul, Netherworld Cat. Level twenty-seven agility-type Soul Master."
