The auras of ice and fire intertwined, erupting with terrifying power.
Zhao Wuji's hair stood on end as a sense of danger spread through his heart. Without hesitation, he lunged fiercely to the right.
Ice and Fire Twin Heavens exploded where he had been standing, and the forces of ice and fire instantly swept across dozens of meters, engulfing Zhao Wuji.
Ten seconds later, the smoke from the explosion dispersed. Zhao Wuji's entire body was covered in charred marks from the flames, yet he was frozen within a block of ice.
Crack! Crack!
For level seventy-six Zhao Wuji, breaking free from this ice block would have been effortless. But before he could say anything, the Space Element behind him rippled, and Gu Yuena appeared at his back.
Since the world of Douluo Continent did not have the concept of Evil Soul Masters, Gu Yuena released the Dark Element without reservation.
A Black Hole that devoured the mind appeared behind Zhao Wuji, its Dark Element continuously eroding his body.
"Aah!" Zhao Wuji's pupils dilated as he let out a painful roar, releasing the Immovable Ming King Body once more.
But at that moment, Gu Chen also appeared beside Gu Yuena.
Gu Chen had not actually suffered much damage. Zhao Wuji's blow had simply come too suddenly, leaving Gu Chen without enough time to prepare.
First Spirit Ability—Golden Dragon Shakes the Heavens!
The deep-purple Spirit Ring behind Gu Chen lit up. He had already decided to model his nine Spirit Ring abilities after Tang Wulin's Nine Forms of the Golden Dragon from the original work.
However, he was only imitating Tang Wulin's Nine Forms of the Golden Dragon because those abilities happened to suit him. To be honest, Gu Chen looked down on Tang Wulin.
In the original work, Gu Yuena had, for Tang Wulin's sake and as promised, given up the entire world, given up fighting for the interests of soul beasts, and had even committed suicide using Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Spear.
And what had Tang Wulin done? He had killed his own woman for the sake of two people unrelated to him? Even if he had ultimately died for love, he had still wronged Gu Yuena. He did not deserve her!
Since he had come to Douluo Continent, he would change all of this!
Gu Chen silently made up his mind.
At that moment, as the First Spirit Ability was unleashed, a Golden Dragon Phantom coiled around Zhao Wuji. Boundless power erupted, sending Zhao Wuji flying dozens of meters away in an instant.
Third Spirit Ability—Golden Dragon Soars!
A pair of golden dragon wings suddenly spread from Gu Chen's back as he soared into the air. A series of sonic booms burst beneath his feet, and in just an instant, he arrived before Zhao Wuji, who was still flying backward and had yet to hit the ground.
Second Spirit Ability—Golden Dragon Shakes the Earth!
Gu Chen unleashed Golden Dragon Shakes the Earth directly upon Zhao Wuji, actually kicking and breaking the ribs of a Soul Sage!
Zhao Wuji's body smashed heavily into the ground, embedding itself in the earth. He could not move.
At this point, the time for the incense stick had run out. Gu Chen walked over to Gu Yuena.
Seeing that Gu Chen was unharmed, Gu Yuena could not help but smile faintly.
Gu Chen could not resist rubbing her head. Amid her dissatisfied gaze, he directly took her hand.
Seeing Zhao Wuji covered in blood in the distance, Dai Mubai could not laugh at all. He hurriedly shouted, "Oscar, Oscar, get over here! You've got business!"
His voice was amplified through Soul Power. As long as someone was within the academy, they probably could not fail to hear it.
"Where's the business? Where's the business?" Oscar's distinctively soft voice came from afar, carrying a hint of excitement as it drew closer. Before long, he appeared before everyone.
Perhaps because he had been too eager, he had even abandoned his cart and run over by himself.
"Little Ao, come here," Dai Mubai called to him.
Oscar hurried over. "Dai Laoda, did you call for me?"
Dai Mubai nodded. "Hurry up and make a few sausages."
Oscar was overjoyed. "Five Copper Spirit Coins each. Don't forget to pay me afterward. I, your father, have a Great Sausage." As his strange Spirit Incantation rang out, light flashed in his hand, and a fragrant sausage immediately appeared.
"Oscar, come over here. Give me two sausages."
Zhao Wuji moved his battered body and forced himself out of the dirt pit.
Since Gu Chen had been the one to attack him rather than Tang San, Zhao Wuji had not been poisoned, so he did not ask Oscar for a Small Cured Sausage.
Zhao Wuji's voice was somewhat muffled. During Gu Chen's Golden Dragon Shakes the Earth, one of the eight golden dragons it spawned had struck Zhao Wuji squarely in the mouth, even knocking out one of his teeth.
Oscar blinked his peach-blossom eyes. "Who are you? How did you get into our Shrek Academy, and how do you know my name?"
"Bastard, do you want punishment? I'm Zhao Wuji!" Zhao Wuji flew into a rage, nearly failing to catch his breath and almost spitting out blood.
He had suffered a huge loss today. All he wanted now was to quickly treat his injuries, then threaten the children before him not to spread the news. Otherwise, this Immovable Wisdom King would not be able to show his face again.
Uh, threaten them...
Looking at Gu Chen and Gu Yuena before him, Zhao Wuji instantly abandoned that idea.
Unlike the original work, when fighting Tang San at full strength, Zhao Wuji had not gone all out. But when facing Gu Chen and Gu Yuena together, he had.
In other words, even Zhao Wuji at full strength could not defeat Gu Chen and Gu Yuena when they joined forces!
"Uh..." Oscar really wanted to ask why Zhao Wuji had ended up like this. He knew Zhao Wuji's strength very well.
But he soon caught Dai Mubai's meaningful look. Being extremely clever, Oscar immediately wiped the surprise from his face. As though nothing had happened, he trotted eagerly over to Zhao Wuji, handed him the sausage he had just made, then chanted another Spirit Incantation and summoned another Great Sausage for Zhao Wuji.
After Zhao Wuji ate the sausages, his expression eased considerably. But the pain from his broken ribs remained. With mixed emotions, he glanced at Gu Chen and Gu Yuena, then waved his hand. "You've passed."
With that, Zhao Wuji limped away.
At this moment, Tang San and the others behind Gu Chen looked at one another. They had not found any opportunity to intervene. Aside from Ning Rongrong, whose Soul Power had been exhausted from simultaneously buffing the two great gods Gu Chen and Gu Yuena, Tang San and the others had done absolutely nothing!
"Gu Chen, you two are seriously incredible! You even beat Teacher Zhao!" Dai Mubai said.
Gu Chen merely smiled and asked, "By the way, where are our dorms?"
Dai Mubai led the six of them to their respective dormitories.
Among them, Oscar and Tang San shared a room, while Gu Chen requested one for himself.
Gu Yuena, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong shared a room.
"Sister Na'er, can you tell me how I can become as strong as you?" As soon as they entered the dormitory, Zhu Zhuqing fixed Gu Yuena with a blazing gaze.
Ning Rongrong also turned to look at Gu Yuena.
"Physical strength and spiritual power are the key to possessing higher-year Spirit Rings." Gu Yuena's voice was cool. Only in front of Gu Chen would she reveal that obedient side of herself.
As the Silver Dragon King, she was naturally aloof. This was the real Gu Yuena.
"Then..." Zhu Zhuqing wanted to ask more, but Gu Yuena coldly closed her eyes, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began cultivating.
Thus, Zhu Zhuqing and the curious Ning Rongrong beside her did not disturb her. Instead, they went to the other end of the dormitory and played around with Xiao Wu.
Late at night, Shrek Academy fell completely silent. Just as Dai Mubai had predicted, apart from Gu Chen's group of six, not a single candidate had passed the first three tests. Yet this was still the year in which Shrek Academy had admitted the most students in many years.
As vice dean, Zhao Wuji naturally had his own residence. At this moment, he sat alone in his room, feeling rather depressed.
He had changed into clean clothes, and the external injuries on his body had healed. Only the broken ribs, though set, still ached faintly.
He had never imagined that he had merely been itching to stretch his muscles, only to suffer such a humiliating defeat. And he had gone all out!
He had not expected Gu Chen and Gu Yuena, this pair of siblings, to possess such strength. Their future achievements would be immeasurable!
Clenching his right hand into a fist, Zhao Wuji struck it against his left palm and sighed helplessly. "Guess I'm unlucky. Looks like I'll have to properly train them in the future. Jade must be carved to become useful." As he said the last sentence, a somewhat wicked smile appeared on Zhao Wuji's face.
Although even Zhao Wuji himself could not defeat Gu Chen and Gu Yuena, he was still capable of giving them a hard time under the excuse of training.
"Zhao Wuji." Just as Zhao Wuji was thinking about how to thoroughly drill Gu Chen and the others in the future, a sudden voice made the smile on his face instantly freeze.
