Su Mo's Analysis

"Of course!"

Su Mo looked at Zhao Wuji, naturally not intimidated, and replied calmly.

"Good..."

Hearing Su Mo's answer, Zhao Wuji burst into laughter, showing he was very satisfied.

Only then did Zhao Wuji look toward Tang San, who had been calling out to Xiao Wu, and comforted him, "No need to call her. She's fine!"

"Her Charm attack was useless against me. This is what happens when you forcefully use it despite too great a gap in Soul Power between both sides—she suffered the backlash of her own soul skill!"

"As long as she sleeps for one night, she'll naturally be fine when she wakes tomorrow!"

Zhao Wuji spoke without concern. Xiao Wu had fallen unconscious from the backlash, and it truly had nothing to do with him.

It was caused by Xiao Wu ignoring the difference between them and forcefully using her Charm soul skill on him.

However, after hearing Zhao Wuji's words, Tang San did not accept them at all. His heart was filled with fury, and the Mystic Jade Hand unconsciously began to give off waves of cold air.

She actually had to remain unconscious for an entire night and would only wake the next day.

"No need for me to make another move, right?"

"Little girl from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, you've lost."

"The strength of you few is far too different from mine. You couldn't even hold out for the time it takes an Incense Stick to burn!"

Zhao Wuji did not notice anything unusual about Tang San as he looked at Ning Rongrong and the others and announced the result.

"Hmph!"

When Ning Rongrong heard this, she pouted, turned her head away, and let out a very unconvinced little snort.

Although they had lost, she just refused to accept it. What level were they? To achieve this much against a Soul Saint was already very impressive.

At this moment, Tang San carried Xiao Wu over to Ning Rongrong. "Can you help me look after Xiao Wu?"

"Oh... all right!"

Ning Rongrong was slightly startled. She did not know what Tang San planned to do, but she still agreed.

After Tang San handed Xiao Wu to Ning Rongrong, he walked back in front of Zhao Wuji.

"What? You still want to keep fighting?"

"In your current state, you probably can't even withstand a single blow from me, can you?"

Seeing Tang San's stance, Zhao Wuji was immediately stunned.

"No!"

Tang San denied it.

"Then you're saying you admit defeat?"

Zhao Wuji said speechlessly. If he was admitting defeat, then he should not put on such a fierce stance!

"I hope I can fight you seriously one more time!"

"Everything starts over. If I can hold on for the time it takes an Incense Stick to burn, then please allow the four of us to enter Shrek Academy together!"

Tang San raised his head to look at Zhao Wuji and spoke seriously.

"What?"

After hearing Tang San's words, Zhao Wuji, Ning Rongrong, and the others were all shocked. They had not expected Tang San to say something like this.

"And what if you fail to hold out? Just now, all of you attacked together, and you still lost!"

Zhao Wuji greatly admired Tang San's courage in his heart, but he still opened his mouth to strike him down.

At the same time, he also looked toward Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing behind him, wanting to see what they would say.

Tang San also did not speak. He turned his head slightly to look at Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.

"Tang San, we're comrades. If you lose, then we'll just leave together!"

Ning Rongrong was the first to answer Tang San.

In any case, they had already failed. Saying one sentence would not change anything, and she was also very curious about why Tang San dared to challenge Zhao Wuji again on his own.

"Right. If you lose, we'll leave together!"

After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Zhuqing also nodded.

"Haha, good. Then come on. Let me see what abilities you kid still have!"

When Zhao Wuji heard this, he immediately laughed loudly, then said this to Tang San.

"This kid really has a knack for winning people over!"

Watching from the side, Su Mo laughed inwardly.

Originally, since the four of them had failed to hold out for the time it took an Incense Stick to burn, their assessment had counted as a failure. Yet Tang San had suggested fighting again and, if he won, all of them would pass together. If that was not winning people over, what was?

Of course, it was also possible that Tang San simply believed Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's strength and talent were both quite good and that they were qualified to enter Shrek Academy with him and become his teammates.

Besides, if he had only said to bring Xiao Wu along, that would have seemed far too selfish, so he simply included Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing as well.

"Teacher Zhao, be careful!"

And Tang San began his second battle.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

In an instant, countless Hidden Weapons were summoned from the Soul Tools around Tang San, then attacked Zhao Wuji like a raging storm.

"What?"

"What kind of method is this?"

"There's actually a way to attack like that..."

"..."

Seeing the Hidden Weapon attack Tang San displayed, Dai Mubai and the others were shocked once again, and they watched in astonishment as Tang San and Zhao Wuji fought together again.

This time, Zhao Wuji seemed to have become a target, only able to stand where he was and defend himself.

"Hey, do you know what kind of method he's using?"

As Ning Rongrong watched in surprise, she turned and asked Su Mo.

She remembered that Su Mo and Tang San seemed to be from the same academy.

"I'm not sure. This is my first time seeing him use this method too!"

Naturally, Su Mo could not possibly admit that he knew Tang San's attack method was called Hidden Weapons.

"Then do you think he can hold out for the time it takes an Incense Stick to burn?"

Seeing that Su Mo did not know either, Ning Rongrong was slightly disappointed, and took the chance to ask the question she cared about more.

After all, Su Mo and Tang San had known each other since childhood. Even if he did not know this attacking method of Tang San's, he should at least have a rough idea of Tang San's strength, right?

"Since he dared to step forward, he must have that confidence!"

"And don't worry. Even if he fails, you still won't be shut out by Shrek."

"If even talent and abilities like yours aren't enough to enter Shrek Academy, then Shrek Academy would never be able to recruit any students at all."

"The fourth test originally wasn't supposed to have this teacher personally take the field, right? A Soul Saint stepping in clearly increased the difficulty. In that case, whether you pass this test or not isn't important. What matters is the abilities you display during the battle!"

Hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Su Mo calmly analyzed the situation for her while watching the battle between Tang San and Zhao Wuji.

"Is that so? Then I can relax!"

Hearing Su Mo's words, Ning Rongrong froze for a moment, but after reacting, she felt that what Su Mo said made a lot of sense.

It was not only Ning Rongrong; Zhu Zhuqing also looked at Su Mo in surprise again.

This guy still looked at things from such a sharp angle.

Dai Mubai and Teacher Lu Qibin, who had brought Su Mo over, also heard Su Mo's words, and they could not help glancing sideways at him.

Teacher Lu Qibin in particular completely agreed with Su Mo. For these little monsters before him, Shrek Academy would be begging them to join, let alone shutting them out.

After Su Mo finished speaking, he did not continue, and instead watched the fight between Tang San and Zhao Wuji.

Looking at the Hidden Weapons Tang San displayed, Su Mo sighed inwardly. Right now, it would be very hard for him to defeat Tang San.

All Tang San needed was to pull off this move with Hidden Weapons filling the sky, and Su Mo could only fall into a passive position.

However, Tang San's performance also made Su Mo look down on the soul masters of this world even more. On what grounds did they look down on weapons used by ordinary people?

Look at that. Tang San's Hidden Weapons were merely ordinary iron tools, yet they could force Zhao Wuji, a Soul Saint, to defend the entire time.

In the end, Zhao Wuji was even covered all over by Hidden Weapons that Tang San had forged from even more precious materials.

However, those needle-and-thread-like Hidden Weapons only made Zhao Wuji uncomfortable; they still could not defeat him.

In the end, Tang San still summoned the Clear Sky Hammer. Using Zhao Wuji's misjudgment of the Clear Sky Hammer—thinking it was just an ordinary iron hammer and failing to defend against it—Tang San hammered him until his face was bruised and swollen, sending him flying heavily and smashing into the ground, unable to get up for a while.

Could it only be said that it was worthy of being a top-tier martial soul? Even without any soul rings attached, it possessed such terrifying power.

Seeing this, Su Mo felt even more envious, and looked forward to the day when his own Soul Hunting Spear evolved to the top tier, or even to the divine tier.

"Teacher, the time for an Incense Stick to burn has already passed. I won!"

"According to the conditions we agreed on, you have to allow all four of us to pass Shrek Academy's test!"

After Zhao Wuji stood up, Tang San panted as he spoke to him.

"Of course I keep my word. All four of you have passed the test!"

Although Zhao Wuji's expression was ugly, he still announced that Tang San and the others had passed the test.

"Kid, it's your turn!"

"Come here. If you can hold out under me for the time it takes an Incense Stick to burn, you'll be considered to have passed the test!"

Afterward, Zhao Wuji, who had nowhere to vent his anger, turned his gaze toward Su Mo.

He had not forgotten that Su Mo had yet to complete the fourth test!
