Douluo: The System Arrived Ten Thousand Years Early, I Crushed Tang San

"Little Gang, go in with me first. They should be able to proceed directly to the fourth test later. I'll take you inside for some tea first."

Flender raised his brows at Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang naturally had no objections. With Tang San and the others' strength, passing an assessment would be easy.

Still, he asked, "What is the fourth test?"

Flender shot a glance at Dai Mubai, who was pretending to be an ostrich nearby. "Lasting... one incense stick's worth of time against Mu Bai."

Dai Mubai: ...

Yu Xiaogang: ...

Alright, then there was absolutely nothing to worry about.

"Fine, I'll go in with you first."

Yu Xiaogang glanced at Tang San and the others, then entered ahead of them under Flender's lead. He wanted to learn more about the academy's situation and future plans from Flender.

Li Yusong put away his Martial Soul again, his expression unreadable.

"Who's first?"

Without further ado, Xiao Tian and the others did not want to waste time. The three of them immediately revealed their Martial Souls and Soul Rings.

"Xiao Tian, Martial Soul Sword Fifteen, level thirty-eight."

"Xiao Wu, Martial Soul Soft Bone Charm Rabbit, level thirty-four."

"Tang San, Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass, level thirty-two."

Li Yusong: ???

What?

What Soul Power Levels did they just say?

Li Yusong suddenly felt old. Had his ears become too poor to hear clearly?

But once he saw the Soul Rings on the three of them, he was certain.

Then, when he saw the three Thousand Year Soul Rings on Xiao Tian, his eyes widened. He could no longer remain calm and even rubbed his eyes. Were those Soul Rings genuine?

"Brother? When did you reach level thirty-eight? Weren't you only level thirty-six yesterday?"

Xiao Wu's little mouth fell open, her face full of surprise. She looked adorable.

Xiao Tian had already prepared an excuse and said blandly, "Oh, my Sword Dao Realm improved a little more, so..."

Tang San: ...

Tang San felt exhausted. Why could Xiao Tian raise his Soul Power Level like this while he could never catch up no matter how hard he tried?

Tang San did not doubt Xiao Tian's words. After all, this had happened before during the past six years. Still, he was already a Soul Elder now, yet he had suddenly risen another two levels. Wasn't that a little outrageous?

Zhu Zhuqing was also filled with confusion. Level thirty-eight?

She had already been shocked once by Xiao Tian's Soul Rings yesterday.

Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong directly skipped over to Xiao Tian's side. Her eyes sparkled with curiosity as she looked at him. "Hey, Xiao Tian, how did you do that? Even in my sect, I've never seen anyone as... extraordinary as you."

This was the first time Ning Rongrong had truly felt that there was always someone greater, always a higher heaven beyond the sky!

Brothers, let me ask you something. If the protagonist takes all the girls and leaves later, which academy would be better to go to?

"Hmm?" Xiao Tian looked at Ning Rongrong with interest. "Which sect are you from?"

Ning Rongrong knew that once she revealed her Martial Soul, she would not be able to hide it any longer. She slightly raised her chin and said proudly, "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

The next moment, a seven-tiered pagoda Martial Soul appeared before her, with two yellow Soul Rings attached to its lowest two levels.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul!"

Li Yusong was stunned. Why would someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect come to their rundown academy?

And judging from this little girl's clothing and bearing, she must have held a certain status within her sect.

"Ning Rongrong, Martial Soul Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, level twenty-six."

Only then did she look back at Xiao Tian. "Hey, Xiao Tian, I've told you now. Can you tell me how you did it too?"

Xiao Tian merely smiled faintly. "It's a long story. Once we've all passed the test, we can talk if we get the chance."

Tang San's eyes darkened beside them. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

Wasn't that one of the Top Three Sects his teacher had mentioned?

And supposedly, it was wealthier than nations, with all its direct descendants being support-type Soul Masters.

A thought immediately emerged in his mind. Could he sell some of the Tang Sect Hidden Weapons from his previous life to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and gather startup funds to rebuild the Tang Sect?

"Zhu Zhuqing, Martial Soul Hell Spirit Cat, level twenty-seven."

Seeing that everyone else had revealed their Martial Souls, Zhu Zhuqing spoke coldly as well.

When Ning Rongrong heard that Martial Soul, her slender brows furrowed slightly. She had also noticed that Dai Mubai's gaze had remained fixed on Zhu Zhuqing.

The surname Dai?

The Star Luo Imperial Family?

Weren't they the mortal enemies of her sect?

Well, well. To think she would run into them here. Ning Rongrong's Little Witch nature was nearly impossible to suppress...

Though he did not quite understand the situation, Li Yusong's eyes lit up. He had overseen so many years of new student admissions, and this year had the most applicants who met the requirements!

After testing the bone ages of Xiao Tian and the others one by one, he said to Dai Mubai beside him, "Mu Bai, take them directly to the fourth test. The rest is up to you."

Dai Mubai wore a bitter expression. Knowing he could not escape this, he could only force a smile at Xiao Tian and the others. "Come with me."

Along the way, Dai Mubai explained the general situation of Shrek Academy to them. In his eyes, Xiao Tian and the others would definitely enter the academy. After all, he himself had already been beaten once.

To preserve his dignity, Dai Mubai could only move closer to Xiao Tian and whisper, "Xiao Tian, can we just go through the motions later? I know I was wrong about yesterday, and I've already reflected on it."

Xiao Tian gave him a kindly smile, indicating that it was possible.

However, Xiao Tian knew that their opponent later would probably not be Dai Mubai, but that Great Strength Vajra Bear!

Other than Flender, probably no one else could keep Zhao Wuji in check. Even knowing that Flender was currently inside the academy, once he saw talents like them, he would surely be unable to resist making a move, right?

Thinking of this, Xiao Tian smiled wickedly. If Zhao Wuji really dared to do it, he would turn him into a blind little bear later!

Not long afterward, Dai Mubai led everyone to the site of the fourth test.

On an open training field, Zhao Wuji sat in a wooden chair with his eyes closed, resting. Only after sensing movement ahead did he slowly open his eyes.

"Oh? Mu Bai, so many students are coming straight to the fourth test under your lead this year? Looks like their Soul Power Levels are all at least twenty-five."

Zhao Wuji stood and stretched his limbs, producing a series of cracking sounds.

Dai Mubai walked up to Zhao Wuji and introduced him to Xiao Tian and the others. "This is Teacher Zhao Wuji, the Vice Dean of Shrek Academy, a level seventy-six battle Soul Sage. His Martial Soul is the Great Strength Vajra Bear, and he is known as the Immovable Ming King."

"What? You're the Immovable Ming King? You managed to escape unscathed even when sixteen Soul Emperors from Spirit Hall hunted you down. Who would have thought you had been hiding here all these years?"

Ning Rongrong's little mouth fell open as she spoke in surprise.

"Oh, little sister, I didn't expect you to have heard of my name after all these years. But I don't like you saying I'm hiding here. If the Soul Emperors Spirit Hall sent back then had been willing to fight me one-on-one, why would I have needed to run?"

Xiao Tian: ...

They were hunting you down. Who would fight you one-on-one? What nonsense was that...

Dai Mubai then briefly explained Xiao Tian and the others' levels, but he was stopped halfway through.

"Stop! Don't tell me yet. I'll be the examiner for the fourth test this year. Let them keep a little advantage for now."

Dai Mubai immediately understood what Zhao Wuji meant. At first, he was delighted, but his face fell the next moment. "Teacher Zhao, I've always been the examiner in previous years. Their strongest is only a Soul Elder. Even if they all join forces, they can't be your match as a Soul Sage!"

"Besides, the dean came by earlier. These are talents the dean has his eye on. If they lose later, I won't be able to explain myself..."

Seeing Dai Mubai come up with so many excuses, Zhao Wuji's temper flared. He directly grabbed Dai Mubai by the collar and roared, "That's none of your business! I'll talk to Flender afterward!"

Then Zhao Wuji shoved Dai Mubai aside.

He produced an incense stick from thin air, lit it, and planted it in the ground.

"You have one incense stick's worth of time to discuss your strategy. For the fourth test, all you need to do is defeat me!"

After saying that, Zhao Wuji sat back down in his chair, looking completely at ease.

Yet inwardly, he was thrilled. It had been a long time since he had beaten up some rookies. Staying in this godforsaken academy every day was making him rusty. This was the perfect chance to loosen up.

Xiao Tian: We'll see who loosens whom up later. That depends on whether your hide is thick enough!

Dai Mubai also looked helpless as he slowly walked over to Xiao Tian and the others. Everyone crouched down, preparing to discuss their tactics.

"Teacher Zhao's Great Strength Vajra Bear excels in both offense and defense. Its only weakness is speed. But the gap in Soul Power between you is too great. The best option now is to stall and run out the time."

However, Xiao Tian did not quite agree. The field was only so large, and two of Zhao Wuji's Soul Skills were restrictive skills related to gravity. Therefore, the only option was... fight!

"No. No matter how we stall, we won't be Teacher Zhao's match. Our total Soul Power isn't even in the same league. And as a Soul Sage, he definitely has several restrictive Soul Skills and area attack Soul Skills. So from the very beginning, we must go all out!"

As he spoke, Xiao Tian turned his gaze toward Tang San.

"Tang San, use your Blue Silver Grass to control the field as a whole. You must go all out. Use poison!"

"And Xiao Wu, you are forbidden from using your second Soul Skill later. The difference in your levels is too great. You'll suffer backlash."

Xiao Tian gave Tang San a look that said he understood, then spoke to Xiao Wu with a serious expression.

Dai Mubai was somewhat puzzled. "Xiao Tian, are you sure you want to poison Teacher Zhao? Tang San is only a Soul Elder. A Soul Elder's poison won't work on a Soul Sage."

"I understand."

Tang San hesitated slightly, then agreed.

He understood what Xiao Tian meant. The moment an opportunity appeared, he was to use the Eight Spider Lances. The Man Faced Demon Spider's venom was extremely potent. Even with such a massive difference in strength, it would definitely be able to injure Zhao Wuji somewhat.

Afterward, the group briefly set their tactics. Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing would attack from both sides, Tang San would remain in the rear center to control the entire field, and Xiao Tian, with the greatest Combat Power, would face Zhao Wuji's attacks head-on.

Dai Mubai frowned slightly. "Xiao Tian, are you sure you want to clash head-on with Teacher Zhao? I admit you're strong, but the difference in strength between you and Teacher Zhao is too great."

Xiao Tian smiled but said nothing. The difference in strength was great?

Perfect!

He wanted a hearty battle, and he knew Zhao Wuji was merely testing their abilities. No matter what, he would not use his Martial Soul Avatar. Otherwise, he would truly become a laughingstock.

"Oh, right. Ning Rongrong, when it starts, you must stay alert. Teacher Zhao's first target will definitely be you! After all, your Martial Soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Be careful."

Xiao Tian casually reminded Ning Rongrong.

"Got it. I'll be careful. And you should protect me too, right?"

Ning Rongrong smiled.

Xiao Tian said calmly, "Protect you? That'll be rather difficult. After all, the gap in strength between both sides is so great. Even if Tang San's Blue Silver Grass can catch you in time, it might still snap under the pressure of a Soul Sage...

"And Tang San needs to join the attack later, so he might not be able to react in time. You must stay alert!"

Ning Rongrong's smile immediately froze.

She felt that there was something hidden in Xiao Tian's words, but the assessment was about to begin, so she did not think too much about it.

Once Zhao Wuji saw that Xiao Tian and the others were ready, he lit another incense stick and planted it into the ground.

Taking advantage of that moment, Xiao Tian also formed a three-one-one formation.
