Under Dai Mubai's astonished gaze, Zhao Wuji slowly said, "For the sake of fairness, I'll personally serve as the examiner for this final round."

Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing immediately relaxed. With her Level 27 Soul Power, as long as there was no underhanded trickery, she was confident she could pass.

"I'll give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to discuss your tactics. As long as the five of you can join forces and hold out against me for that long, you'll pass."

Ning Rongrong asked in confusion, "Teacher, do I have to take part in this test too? I'm Support Type."

"Even Support Type Soul Masters have to fight. You can't exactly stay home to cast buffs, can you?" Zhao Wuji said irritably.

"Alright, start discussing your strategy. Don't worry, I won't use my full strength. If I did, you wouldn't last even three breaths."

Zhao Wuji wore a profound smile and secretly sighed. Showing off once feels great; showing off forever feels even better.

"I'm a Soul Sage!"

After saying that, Zhao Wuji carefully observed the children's expressions. He thought these inexperienced kids would surely look at him with admiration once they learned he was a Soul Sage.

But to his disappointment, aside from a trace of fear and worry on Xiao Wu's face, the others showed no emotional reaction.

Tang San thought a mere Soul Sage was nothing. In the future, he would surely become a God-level powerhouse; a Soul Sage would not even be worthy to carry his shoes.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong had both seen the world, so naturally they did not think a Soul Sage was all that impressive.

Xiao Wu was not worried about the coming test either. She was worried that this academy might have powerhouses above the Soul Sage rank. If so, her identity could be exposed.

If her identity were exposed, could she still stay with Li Chen?

If Li Chen knew that Xiao Wu's greatest concern was being unable to remain with him after being discovered, he would definitely cough up blood in anger. He had gone through so much effort to turn Xiao Wu into a green tea girl, yet she was still love-brained.

"Teacher, does Shrek Academy have any experts stronger than Soul Sages?" Xiao Wu asked timidly.

If there was a Soul Douluo here, she would have to run away as soon as possible. If she were discovered, she would likely be doomed.

When Xiao Wu saw Zhao Wuji's face darken, her heart immediately settled. As expected, his answer was no.

"No. The academy's strongest is the dean, a Level 78 Soul Sage. I'm Level 76, and my Martial Soul is the Great Strength Vajra Bear. Besides the two of us, there's also a Food Type Soul Sage teacher."

"Enough nonsense. I'm more than enough to test you lot."

Zhao Wuji said this unhappily, clearly assuming the children thought his Soul Power Level was too low.

"Li Chen, you're Level 28, the highest among us. You should arrange this battle. A team can only have one voice. Do you all agree?"

Zhu Zhuqing's cool voice rang out.

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

Although Tang San was somewhat unwilling, he really only had Level 21 Soul Power, the lowest here. Without exposing his Twin Martial Souls, no one would be convinced by him.

"I don't agree!"

Everyone looked at Li Chen in surprise. Even Zhu Zhuqing had not expected that the one person who would object would be Li Chen himself.

Ning Rongrong asked curiously, "Li Chen, why don't you want to be the captain?"

In Ning Rongrong's eyes, showing off was what all young boys loved most, especially showing off in front of pretty girls.

In the past, whether they were disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect or not, as long as they were young men, they loved displaying themselves before her. Yet Li Chen was different from the others today, which made her incredibly curious.

Was he playing hard to get?

A pleasant male voice rang beside everyone's ears. "Listen, everyone. I'm actually not suited to be captain. I'll explain why later. For now, let's all state our Martial Souls and levels so no one is unclear."

"We'll be fighting side by side soon, and we'll all be classmates from now on. There's no need to hide these things."

"My Martial Soul is a Soul Cannon. It can compress Soul Power and release it all in an instant. My Soul Power Level is 28. My First Spirit Ability, Little Poison Cannon, fires a poisonous cannonball. My Second Soul Skill, Big Daisy Flower, fires a fire-attribute offensive cannonball."

As everyone listened to Li Chen's introduction, they found his Martial Soul only slightly strange and did not dwell on it too much. After all, Martial Souls on Douluo Continent came in every conceivable form. It was normal for them not to have heard of it.

But were those Spirit Ability names seriously real?

"Xiao Wu, Level 21 Battle Soul Master. My Martial Soul is the Soft Bone Rabbit. My First Spirit Ability is Waist Bow, and my Second Soul Skill is Charm."

"Tang San, Level 21 Control System Battle Soul Master. My Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass. My First Spirit Ability is Blue Silver Entanglement. As the name suggests, it can restrain enemies. When my Blue Silver Grass binds an enemy, it can also automatically absorb their Soul Power. My Second Soul Skill is Blue Silver Whip. This Spirit Ability is extremely powerful. When activated, my Blue Silver Grass doubles in size, becoming longer and thicker before lashing out to attack the enemy."

Tang San's introduction was extremely detailed. Li Chen felt that he was probably trying to compete for the captain's position.

Don't worry, the position is yours. Otherwise, how will you take the most vicious beating?

"Zhu Zhuqing, Level 27 Agility Attack Type Battle Soul Master. My Martial Soul is the Hell Spirit Cat. My First Spirit Ability is Hell Stab, which attacks enemies with my claws. My Second Soul Skill is Netherworld Hundred Claws, which is faster and stronger."

Ning Rongrong introduced herself last. Tang San stared blankly at the girl. He suddenly felt that she was not inferior to Xiao Wu in the slightest, and that Zhu Zhuqing from earlier barely had the talent and strength to match him as well.

"My name is Ning Rongrong. My Martial Soul is the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. I'm a Level 26 Support Type Soul Master, and I don't have much offensive power, so I hope everyone will protect me well later."

Ning Rongrong gave Li Chen and Tang San a brilliant smile. Tang San assumed she was smiling at him, and his heart immediately leaped with joy. He patted his chest and said, "Of course. I'm a Control System Soul Master. I'll definitely protect you well."

Though Ning Rongrong still wore a smile, she was actually a little disappointed inside. Tang San was just one of those people she had seen plenty of before. That remark had actually been directed at Li Chen, but that damned Li Chen had not reacted at all.

When Xiao Wu saw Tang San making such bold declarations, anger immediately surged through her.

Oh no, someone's taking away my simp. If Tang San stops fawning over me, what will happen to Li Chen and me~~

No, I can't let Ning Rongrong take Tang San away.

Xiao Wu immediately turned and coquettishly pleaded with Tang San, "Brother Tang San, I'm only a weak Level 21 girl too. I need protection as well!"
