Zhao Xiaotian and the others turned around and looked at the girl in leather with puzzled expressions. Tang San asked doubtfully, "What is it?"
The girl replied in a cool voice, "I'm also here to join Shrek Academy!"
Li Yusong tapped a finger against the tabletop. "Pay first, then release your martial soul and soul rings!"
The girl placed ten Gold Soul Coins on the table, then released her martial soul and soul rings. She also stated her name and Soul Power Level.
"Zhu Zhuqing. Hell Spirit Cat martial soul. Soul Power Level twenty-five. Agility Attack Type Great Soul Master!"
Hearing the girl's name and the name of her martial soul, Dai Mubai's heart suddenly stirred. Though he had forgotten who she was, his lecherous nature had already prompted him to look Zhu Zhuqing up and down.
Zhao Xiaotian pushed up the glasses on his nose. "Teacher Li, she should have passed, right?"
Li Yusong nodded calmly. "Mm. You can go in with them too."
Zhu Zhuqing did not reply and simply followed behind Zhao Xiaotian and the others. Dai Mubai was still standing there blankly, seemingly trying hard to recall something.
At that moment, Xiao Wu shouted, "Hey! Perverted tiger, what are you doing? Weren't you going to take us in for the next test?"
Dai Mubai snapped out of it. His face darkened slightly, but he did not get angry. He waved a hand. "Let's go!"
Before long, they arrived at the checkpoint overseen by a plump teacher. Dai Mubai introduced him, "This teacher is called Shao Xin. He's the third strongest person in our academy, an auxiliary-type Tool Soul Saint. His martial soul is Candy Bean."
Zhao Xiaotian nodded. "Then what does the second test involve?"
Dai Mubai replied flatly, "The second test measures the exact level of your soul power and the quality of your martial soul."
After a pause, Dai Mubai turned back and looked Zhao Xiaotian over before adding, "But you already have level forty-five soul power at such a young age. I doubt your martial soul is of poor quality, so you don't need to be tested. Ning Rongrong, you don't need to test either."
Ning Rongrong asked in a confused, innocent voice, "Why?"
Dai Mubai smiled wryly. "As for the quality of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, unless someone is an idiot, no one would call it an ordinary martial soul."
Only then did Ning Rongrong realize what a foolish question she had just asked. At that moment, a cart appeared in the second test area.
"Fresh sausages for sale! Fresh sausages for sale! Delicious, affordable sausages at a bargain price!"
Hearing the voice, Zhao Xiaotian looked over. Tang San and the others also turned toward it, but before Zhao Xiaotian could say anything, Dai Mubai charged over and roared, "Oscar! Didn't I tell you not to sell your sausages in the academy?! Are you trying to make everyone puke?!"
After being yelled at, Oscar said awkwardly, "Boss Dai, could you not put it like that? Otherwise, the new junior brothers and sisters will misunderstand me. We've been classmates for so long, so at least leave me a little dignity."
Dai Mubai gave a teasing grin. "Fine! Then make a fresh sausage right here!"
"Ah, don't make me do that!"
Dai Mubai said, "Hurry up! Otherwise, I'll make you eat my fist!"
Oscar had no way to avoid it, so he began chanting, "Super Recovery Great Sausage!"
Before long, a steaming grilled sausage appeared in Oscar's right hand. Seeing it, Zhao Xiaotian turned away, unwilling to look at it. The moment he thought of the chant Oscar had just recited, his stomach began churning.
Tang San, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong felt the same way. Oscar awkwardly scratched his head. "I can't help it. Food System Soul Masters have to recite the corresponding chant to release their soul skills. But don't worry, there's nothing wrong with my sausages."
Zhao Xiaotian had no desire to pay Oscar any attention. He asked Dai Mubai, "Hey, you! When are we going to the next test?"
Dai Mubai was clutching his stomach and laughing. Upon hearing Zhao Xiaotian's words, he waved his hand. "Go, go! I'll take you straight to the final test! Hahaha!"
After they bypassed the second checkpoint, one of the soul masters currently taking the test stepped forward and said, "Hey, what's going on? Why can they go straight to the final test while we have to pass every test one by one?"
Dai Mubai looked disdainfully at the speaker. "If your soul power is above level twenty or thirty too, then go on to the next test!"
"How is that possible?! We're all the same age. How could they possibly have soul power above level twenty?!"
Dai Mubai walked over to Shao Xin and took out a crystal ball used to test soul power. He tossed it to Tang San. "Tang San, show them what your Soul Power Level is!"
Tang San nodded and poured his soul power into the crystal ball. A dazzling light immediately flared up, filling the entire crystal ball with blue radiance.
"Tang San! Level twenty-nine!"
After testing his Soul Power Level, Tang San passed the crystal ball to the next person in turn. Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong all tested above level twenty.
"Xiao Wu! Level twenty-nine!"
"Ning Rongrong! Level twenty-four!"
"Zhu Zhuqing! Level twenty-five!"
Just as Zhao Xiaotian took the crystal ball and prepared to test his soul power, Dai Mubai stopped him. "Hey! Don't! Don't test it!"
Seeing this, that soul master seemed to think he had found something and immediately cut off Dai Mubai before he could speak again. "See?! This guy definitely doesn't have soul power above level twenty! He doesn't even dare let him test it!"
Having been interrupted, Dai Mubai's face darkened. "What? If the testing crystal breaks, are you going to pay for it?"
The soul master burst into laughter. "Hahaha! I'll pay, then! But if he doesn't have soul power above level twenty, Shrek has to accept everyone here!"
Dai Mubai laughed. "Zhao Xiaotian, show them what level your soul power is! Don't worry about the crystal ball breaking. Someone will compensate you for it!"
Zhao Xiaotian nodded and infused the crystal ball with his level forty-five soul power. The entire crystal ball emitted a brilliant blue glow that was extremely dazzling.
While everyone present was still stunned, the crystal ball suddenly shattered with a bang, splitting into pieces and falling to the ground. Dai Mubai sneered, "Kid, pay up! This crystal ball can test soul power up to level thirty. At market price, even a secondhand one costs three thousand Gold Soul Coins! Since you repeatedly provoked me and interrupted me just now, make it eighty thousand Gold Soul Coins!"
The soul master's face turned extremely ugly. He was currently in the Soul Grandmaster realm and had only received the Spirit Hall soul master subsidy for three months. After buying resources to increase his soul power, he only had three thousand Gold Soul Coins left.
Zhao Xiaotian smiled. "You still don't seem convinced! Then let me show you something more substantial."
Zhao Xiaotian's gaze turned cold as four soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, and purple—appeared around him. When releasing his soul rings, he forgot to conceal the glow produced by the skull bone skill at his forehead.
That flash of light was instantly noticed by Tang San, whose senses were exceptionally sharp. The soul master had already been frightened to his knees, his body trembling without end.
Zhao Xiaotian smiled. "All right! You don't have to compensate for this crystal ball. I'll cover the eighty thousand Gold Soul Coins for you! But if you keep acting this arrogantly, there won't be someone as kind as me to help you next time."
After that minor incident, Dai Mubai brought the five of them to the final test site. A burly man was lying on a recliner inside the grounds, snoring loudly.
Zhao Xiaotian watched as Dai Mubai walked over to the burly man. Dai Mubai leaned close to Zhao Wuji's ear and whispered something unknown.
Zhao Wuji's gaze remained fixed on Zhao Xiaotian, while Zhao Xiaotian fearlessly met his eyes.
