Immovable King Zhao Wuji

"Teacher Zhao, isn't this a little inappropriate?" Dai Mubai said hesitantly.

Zhao Wuji glared at him. "What's inappropriate about it? The dean isn't here, so I'm the one in charge. If I say it's fine, then it's fine. All right, I'm going to light the incense. You don't have much time, so get yourselves ready. Little White, you can also tell them about my abilities so they can prepare."

After saying that, no one knew where he pulled out a stick of incense from. With a flick of his fingers over its tip, he lit it directly. In the blink of an eye, the incense had been planted in the ground without the slightest tremble.

Once he had finished, Zhao Wuji returned to his chair, closed his eyes, and continued sleeping.

The four of Tang San's group did not find Teacher Zhao's proposed test particularly unusual. Instead, Dai Mubai's expression turned grave as he said to them, "Come closer."

The four gathered around him.

Dai Mubai said seriously, "I can't help you with this one either. I never expected Teacher Zhao to personally make a move."

Dai Mubai said, "If you think Teacher Zhao's attacks will be easy to withstand, then you're gravely mistaken. That's right, Teacher Zhao isn't a Soul Emperor in the sixtieth rank range. He is a level seventy-six Soul Saint. A Beast Spirit Soul battle Soul Saint. He is the academy's vice dean, and his overall strength is second only to the dean's."

The pupils of Tang San and the others, Lan Xue excepted, contracted almost simultaneously. In their minds, a level seventy-six Soul Saint could move unhindered even against an army of ten thousand, much less against them, who had not even reached level thirty.

Dai Mubai said, "Age has never been the issue. There isn't much time, so I'll briefly tell you what Teacher Zhao excels at. Then you must immediately decide on a strategy against him. Otherwise, forget one stick of incense—you'll be lucky if you can withstand his first wave of attacks."

The expressions of Tang San and the others, Lan Xue excepted, became grave. Facing a level seventy-six Soul Saint was no joke.

There had once been a Soul Saint in the legends of the Holy Soul Village where Tang San had grown up. That had only been a legend, but the Soul Saint before them was real, close at hand, and would serve as the examiner testing them.

Dai Mubai gave a bitter smile. "Originally, Teacher Zhao was only supposed to oversee the fourth trial. Your opponent should have been me. As long as you could last one stick of incense against me, you would pass. But who knew what string was wrong with him today? He actually wants to make a move himself."

"Teacher Zhao's Spirit Soul is the Vajra Bear, a powerful Beast Spirit Soul. His entire body has no openings, and his defense is terrifyingly strong. Even Soul Masters at the same level as him find it difficult to break through his defense and injure him. Although speed is not Teacher Zhao's specialty, the gap in Soul Power between you and him is simply too great. You cannot be faster than him in that regard either. Teacher Zhao's greatest strengths are his attack power and defense. At the academy, he is known as the Immovable King. Forget the four of you—even with me added in, we might not be able to withstand one stick of incense's worth of his attacks. Right now, I can only hope that Teacher Zhao won't be too serious when attacking you."

No weaknesses. Those four simple words already described Zhao Wuji's terrifying strength.

The gentle short-haired girl suddenly cried out, "So he's the Immovable King, Zhao Wuji. He disappeared from the continent ten years ago. I never expected him to be a teacher at Shrek Academy. Back then, the Immovable King Zhao Wuji had a conflict with Spirit Hall. Spirit Hall wanted to punish him, but he forced his way out of the encirclement of sixteen bishops. After that, the matter was dropped. Spirit Hall's bishops were all Soul Emperor-level experts of at least level sixty. At the time, Zhao Wuji should only have been in his sixties as well. Wouldn't that make him even more powerful now?"

Dai Mubai silently nodded. "At the very least, I've never seen Teacher Zhao go all out. So, good luck. Of Teacher Zhao's seven Soul Rings, the first two are hundred-year Soul Rings, the third and fourth are thousand-year Soul Rings, and the final three are all ten-thousand-year Soul Rings. Furthermore, every one of his seven Soul Rings provides either attack or defense. You should be able to imagine how terrifying he is. Now, get to know one another. State your names and abilities, then see how you can coordinate to best withstand Teacher Zhao's test."

Tang San was the first to speak. "My name is Tang San. My Tool Spirit Soul is Blue Silver Grass. I am a level twenty-nine control-type battle Soul Master."

Seeing Tang San speak, Lan Xue spoke second. "Lan Xue. My Tool Spirit Soul is the Ice Jade Orchid Empress. I am a level twenty-nine all-round battle Soul Master." Tang San froze slightly, and only Lan Xue could see the excitement in his eyes.

The girl with ear-length short hair hesitated before saying, "Ning Rongrong. My Tool Spirit Soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. I am a level twenty-six support-type Tool Soul Master."

The final girl, still cold and indifferent, said calmly, "Zhu Zhuqing. My Beast Spirit Soul is the Hell Spirit Cat. I am a level twenty-seven agility attack-type battle Soul Master."

After the four had introduced themselves, the gazes of four people, including Dai Mubai, focused on two of them. The ones who had drawn everyone's attention were the short-haired girl Ning Rongrong and Lan Xue.

Tang San said in surprise, "Your Spirit Soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Then that means you come from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit Soul was passed down through a single bloodline. Across the entire Douluo Continent, only direct descendants of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could possibly possess it.
