Teacher Zhao, What a Good Man!

Besides the two girls, Ning Rongrong, who had been standing nearby, reacted at this moment as well.

"Seven Treasures are renowned; first: Strength!"

"Seven Treasures are renowned; second: Speed!"

With Ning Rongrong's enhancement, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing's strength and speed increased by several degrees.

Whether by accident or not, Ning Rongrong's soul skill enhancement happened to leave out Tang San, causing his face to darken as he stood nearby wildly flinging several Dragon Beard Needles.

"What interesting little fellows."

From the standpoint of their first time working together, their performance was naturally exceedingly competent.

But unfortunately, their opponent was a Soul Saint-level powerhouse!

As Zhao Wuji spoke calmly, his entire body abruptly swelled in size. Two yellow, two purple, and three black—seven dazzling soul rings lit up around him.

Ding ding ding~

Without even using soul skills, their attacks failed to so much as break through Zhao Wuji's defenses when they landed on him.

"You're done making your moves. Now it's Old Zhao's turn."

As he spoke, Zhao Wuji's gaze instantly fell on Tang San in the distance.

"Fall!"

As he spoke, Zhao Wuji suddenly raised a foot and stomped heavily onto the ground.

With his strength, there was naturally no way he would use soul skills while testing a few little kids.

Even so, the physical abilities of a Soul Saint were enough to ensure Zhao Wuji remained invincible.

Bang!

Under Zhao Wuji's immense strength, the surrounding ground shook violently.

Before Xiao Wu and the others could regain their footing, Zhao Wuji had already appeared in front of Tang San in an instant.

"Hahahaha, fall!"

As the words left his mouth, Zhao Wuji's huge foot mercilessly kicked Tang San.

Bang!

Overwhelming strength defeated all tricks—this was no mere saying.

Faced with Zhao Wuji suddenly rushing before him, Tang San could clearly see his movements, yet he was unable to react in time.

With a loud bang, Tang San was sent flying backward.

Just then, Zhao Wuji's vision blurred again. Needless to say, it was naturally Xiao Wu's soul skill once more.

"Alright, alright."

Feeling a shoe filled with power hook around his throat again, Zhao Wuji hurriedly spoke.

"You've passed the test. All of you, stop."

"Thank you, Teacher."

The instant Zhao Wuji spoke, Xiao Wu and the others quickly retreated and withdrew their martial souls before bowing to thank him.

"You two little girls work together rather well."

After praising Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, Zhao Wuji looked at Tang San, who had just climbed up from the ground.

"Your needles were thrown well too. Unfortunately, they were just a little lacking in force."

"Since you're a soul master, you should make full use of your martial soul. External objects will ultimately remain external objects."

Though Zhao Wuji had a bit of a wicked sense of humor, he was rather protective of his own people.

Since he had already allowed Tang San and the others to pass the test, he naturally offered them a few simple pointers.

"Thank you for your guidance, Teacher."

Though Zhao Wuji had merely offered simple guidance, it sounded like reprimand and mockery to Tang San.

Lowering his head, anger flashed in Tang San's eyes as he clenched his teeth tightly.

There were clearly four of us. Why did he only hit me?

There were clearly four of us. Why did he only reprimand me?

Naturally, Zhao Wuji had no idea what Tang San was thinking.

But even if he did know, he would not have cared.

There were four people taking the test. Aside from you, that buck-toothed Ugly Ghost, the other three were all pretty, delicate little girls.

I, Zhao, may be a bastard, but I'm not cruel enough to go hard on a few little girls in an ordinary test like this, am I?

"Kid, you..." Having thoroughly indulged his urge to act like a teacher, Zhao Wuji finally turned to look at Du Cheng beside him.

However, that one glance nearly gave him a heart attack.

Du Cheng was surrounded by three breathtakingly beautiful little girls, and the one wearing pink rabbit ears had even wrapped herself around his arm.

"Not bad."

Compared to Zhao Wuji, Du Cheng was clearly in a much better mood.

"But if you could successfully combine Waist Bow with Eighteen Subduing Strikes, you definitely would have caused Teacher Zhao even more trouble just now."

As he spoke, Du Cheng narrowed his eyes and casually ruffled the three heads before him. Wait, three?

"Cough..."

Seeing Ning Rongrong's somewhat bewildered expression, Du Cheng quickly coughed and changed the subject.

"As for Zhu Zhuqing, your attacks could be a bit fiercer, and you could vary your targets more. For example, punch the nose, kick the groin..."

"That's enough!"

Listening to Du Cheng instruct Zhu Zhuqing, Zhao Wuji could not help but break out in a cold sweat.

No wonder this little girl attacked so viciously. So this brat was the one who taught her?

As the thought crossed his mind, Zhao Wuji spoke again.

"Save the talking until after the assessment. Now it's your turn, brat."

As he spoke, a peculiar glint flashed through Zhao Wuji's eyes.

He had already made up his mind to teach this little brat a lesson.

"Coming, coming."

The moment Zhao Wuji finished speaking, Du Cheng happily ran over to stand before him.

"Teacher Zhao, how are you planning to assess me?"

After speaking, Du Cheng flashed Zhao Wuji a broad, toothy grin.

Teacher Zhao really is a good man!

Du Cheng could hardly be blamed for thinking so. The situation was simply too awkward.

Acting on instinct, he had accidentally ruffled Ning Rongrong's head along with the others just now.

That girl did not have the best temper. What if she flew into a rage...

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Du Cheng's smile at Zhao Wuji became even more sincere.

Since Teacher Zhao saved me in my hour of need, I'll go a little easier on him when I teach him a lesson later.

Naturally, Zhao Wuji had no idea what Du Cheng was thinking.

That was why he felt somewhat awkward when he met Du Cheng's gaze.

Brat, if you act this friendly, it'll be hard for me to hit you!

"Since you're a genius admired by Old Man Li, naturally you deserve special treatment."

Complaints aside, Zhao Wuji would not hold back when it came time to act.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly as he continued.

"There won't be a time limit between us. As long as you can make me say the four words 'assessment complete,' you'll have passed."

"No problem!"

Du Cheng froze for a moment upon hearing Zhao Wuji's words, then quickly nodded.

"As long as Teacher Zhao is happy, anything goes."

Hearing Du Cheng and Zhao Wuji's exchange, Dai Mubai and Tang San were so excited they nearly fainted.

It's happening. It's finally happening!
