Personality

Zhao Wuji is proud of his defensive martial soul and welcomes the chance to test exceptional students in combat. He accepts Lang Lei's request for a solo fight despite the enormous difference in apparent age, then fights in earnest when challenged. 30 31

Story Role / Major Arcs

Shrek Academy Entrance Test

Zhao Wuji serves as the examiner for Shrek Academy's fourth test, which normally requires applicants to withstand him for one incense stick's duration. Lang Lei instead challenges him alone and asks Zhao Wuji to fight without restrictions. 30

During their fight, Zhao Wuji uses several soul skills and his Martial Soul Avatar, but Lang Lei withstands his attacks without initially summoning a martial soul. Zhao Wuji concedes when Lang Lei halts a punch immediately before his face. 31

Afterward, Zhao Wuji is stunned that Lang Lei is genuinely seven years old. He accepts Lang Lei's decision not to enroll at Shrek, while recognizing that the spar gave Lang Lei valuable practical experience. 32

Conflict with Ye Zhi Qiu

When Zhao Wuji moves to protect Shrek's students from Ye Zhi Qiu, Lang Lei blocks him and allows Ye Zhi Qiu to discipline them. Zhao Wuji uses his Martial Soul Avatar and multiple skills but cannot get past Lang Lei's chains and domain. 51 52

Zhao Wuji eventually admits defeat and can only threaten Ye Zhi Qiu verbally, while Lang Lei openly argues against retaliating against the Canghui Academy teacher. 52

Star Dou Great Forest Expedition

Zhao Wuji leads the Shrek group into the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain soul rings. When Oscar loses the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent to Meng Yiran, Zhao Wuji restrains him from protesting after recognizing Snake Dowager and the danger posed by Dragon Duke. 53 54

When the Hundred-Thousand-Year Titan Giant Ape appears, Zhao Wuji orders the students to flee and prepares to hold the creature back at the cost of his own life. Lang Lei intervenes, allowing Zhao Wuji and the students to escape. 54 55

After Lang Lei kills the Titan Giant Ape and returns with its soul ring and soul bone, Zhao Wuji expresses gratitude and refuses to support any attempt to take Lang Lei's reward. He later fails to prevent Lang Lei from taking Xiao Wu after her attack. 58 59
