Douluo: Ruo Tuo Save Me

This was the sound of Zhao Wuji breaking free from the Blue Silver Grass restraints.

"Third Spirit Skill: Teleportation!"

"First Spirit Skill: Waist Bow!"

Xiao Wu suddenly appeared above Zhao Wuji's head, her long, taut legs...

"Watch Sister Xiao Wu's Eight Consecutive Kills of Berserk!"

Zhao Wuji: ...

Zhong Li: What a Thoroughly Exhilarating Battle

To continue from before:

Zhao Wuji had been about to teach Zhao Yun a lesson when Tang San bound him with Blue Silver Bind...

"Fall!"

Zhao Yun's attack ultimately landed on Zhao Wuji.

If they had been of the same level, or even just one major realm apart, Zhao Yun, whose attributes had nearly doubled, could have dealt considerable damage with that strike.

But Zhao Wuji was a Soul Saint! And a Soul Saint who had unleashed both his martial soul and Spirit Skills.

That blow merely made Zhao Wuji's body sway slightly!

Seizing the opportunity, Xiao Wu used her Self-Created Soul Skill: Eight Consecutive Kills of Berserk!

After Xiao Wu fully unleashed her Eight Consecutive Kills of Berserk—

Zhao Wuji sprang to his feet with a kip-up.

"Heh!"

Zhao Wuji looked disdainful, the corner of his mouth curling upward!

An attack of this level? Before his Immovable Ming King, it was nothing!

"Quick! Hit him in the mouth! He's about to laugh! Shut that mouth of his!"

No one knew who shouted that.

Tang San and the other three instantly looked at Zhao Wuji's mouth.

What met their eyes was Zhao Wuji's already upturned lips!

The four of them, even Tang San, who retained a little rationality, felt utterly insulted! Not to mention the other three.

"Fuck!"

"Good thing! Good thing it wasn't me taking the test!"

"What the hell kind of Spirit Skill is this? It's terrifying!"

After Zhong Li had cast those three Spirit Skills on the four of them, Dai Mubai had gotten an ominous feeling and quickly retreated far away.

At that moment, he was incomparably grateful that he was not the one being tested. Even if Zhong Li did not attack and only buffed his teammates, Dai Mubai still would not be able to withstand it.

"Is this Berserk? No, it doesn't seem like Berserk either!"

Li Yusong had noticed something, though not much. At that moment, he was standing beside Dai Mubai.

Berserk and rampage were different. Rampage was like one's rage meter overflowing before entering battle.

Berserk was more like becoming a mindless beast.

Zhong Daoming: This brat is impressive! He even cast Rampage on girls!

Upon seeing Zhao Wuji's mouth, the rage meters of the four overflowed once more.

Zhao Wuji: ...

No, I just smiled out of habit. What's wrong with that?

"Third Spirit Skill: Gravity Enhancement!"

Seeing even Tang San charging toward him, Zhao Wuji hurriedly used his Third Spirit Skill.

Their bodies suddenly became heavy, but for the four, who had been given wind-element attributes, it was nothing much!

Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track

Mysterious Jade Hand

As Tang San charged toward Zhao Wuji, he used the Tang Sect's secret techniques.

His body closed in on Zhao Wuji like a ghostly shadow. Though Mysterious Jade Hand did not increase attack power, it enhanced the hardness of his hands.

The place he attacked was Zhao Wuji's slightly upturned mouth.

"First Spirit Skill, Hell Stab."

Zhu Zhuqing was not to be outdone either. With a Hell Stab, she clawed at Zhao Wuji's mouth.

Xiao Wu, who had just unleashed Eight Consecutive Kills of Berserk, was somewhat exhausted.

But the moment she saw Zhao Wuji's mouth, she was instantly restored to full health.

"Third Spirit Skill, Teleportation!"

Using Teleportation, Xiao Wu kicked at Zhao Wuji's mouth.

Zhao Wuji looked at Zhao Yun, who had not made a move, and felt slightly comforted.

Zhao Yun: There really wasn't any room left.

It seemed like a long time, but attacks between Spirit Masters arrived in an instant.

This time, Zhao Wuji did not choose to use a Spirit Skill. Instead, he quickly took two steps back.

The attacks of the three missed perfectly.

Zhao Wuji was not stupid. Earlier, he had only been testing these children's attacks.

But he had not expected Zhong Li's Spirit Skills to be so overbearing.

This kind of Spirit Skill was excellent when fighting Spirit Masters to the death, but it was better used less often in ordinary times. This Spirit Skill lowered intelligence!

It was obvious at a glance that the four were not in their right state. Testing them in such a condition was meaningless.

Seeing that their attacks had missed and that they continued charging toward him, Zhao Wuji hurriedly called out to Zhong Li in the air:

"Zhong Li, kid! Stop! You've passed!"

Who cared whether the incense had finished burning? These little monsters had already met the admission standards, so there was no need to continue the test!

Hearing Zhao Wuji's voice, Zhong Li smiled and then removed the enhancement effects from them.

He then slowly descended to the ground and walked toward them.

The moment the enhancement effects were removed, they all collapsed onto the ground.

Panting heavily, they looked at Zhong Li with fear in their eyes!

Being enhanced had indeed made them stronger, but it lowered their intelligence!

Tang San in particular, a control-type Spirit Master, had even charged forward to fight Zhao Wuji to the death...

Fortunately, Ning Rongrong had not come. If she had taken the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda and smashed Zhao Wuji over the head with it, that scene...

Protected by the shield, none of them were injured.

But they were exhausted in both body and mind. The side effects of rampaging had arrived!

"Don't come any closer!"

Zhao Yun's voice, lips, and fingers were trembling slightly as he spoke to the approaching Zhong Li.

The intense sense of security Zhong Li had previously given him had completely vanished!

Zhong Li ignored Zhao Yun's intense reaction.

"Third Spirit Skill: Revival Wind!"

A green wind field swiftly appeared, enveloping everyone.

Revival Wind could clear away the negative effects brought by the Second Spirit Skill, Thousand Winds Berserk.

If used at the same time, it allowed Thousand Winds Berserk to only increase attributes without triggering its rampaging trait.

As long as Zhong Li did not say anything...

A few seconds later, under the healing of Revival Wind, everyone stood up.

Zhong Li also put away the Wind Element God's Eye and said:

"Cultivation truly requires enduring hardships and facing difficulties without fear."

"What a thoroughly exhilarating battle. I feel that I've improved greatly!"

Before anyone could speak, Zhong Li continued amidst their bewildered expressions:

"In this test against an opponent of unequal cultivation, I actually broke through to level 43 (63)! Sure enough, only under pressure can people grow! I simply haven't worked hard enough!"

"Teacher Li, where are the dormitories? I've gained another small insight and need a quiet place."

Still stunned, Li Yusong absentmindedly led Zhong Li toward the dormitories.

For a long while, everyone continued staring in the direction Li Yusong and Zhong Li had left.

Fuck...

Enduring hardships, difficulties, an exhilarating battle, pressure—weren't those all things they had endured?

The key was that he had really broken through from level 42 (62) to 43 (63) right in front of everyone!

Wasn't that infuriating?

"Second Uncle, do you think we really are little monsters?"

Zhao Yun asked gloomily.

Hearing his nephew's words, Zhao Wuji came back to his senses and looked at Zhao Yun and the others.

But unusually, he said nothing.

"We fought with everything we had, and he ended up breaking through."

Xiao Wu spoke gloomily as well. There was no color at all in her aggrieved little face.

"When school started at Nuoding Academy, I listened to his speech. I thought he might have exaggerated a little, but now it seems he was actually being conservative."

Tang San believed that among people his age, he was among the best in both talent and cultivation.

But ever since Zhong Li slapped Dai Mubai at the Rose Hotel, he had realized just how vast the gap between himself and a genius truly was...

"This is the one I set my eyes on..."

Before Zhu Zhuqing could finish, everyone looked at her with aggrieved eyes. It frightened Little Kitten so badly that all her fur stood on end...

Shrek Academy Under the Night Sky

At night, Zhong Li lay on a luxurious wooden plank bed.

The bed was still the same wooden plank bed. With a few decorations and an extra layer of padding, it was still a wooden plank bed.

What insight did Zhong Li have at dusk? He merely wanted to "escape" the scene of the crime.

"Ruo Tuo, I've discovered that acting a little mischievous now and then is actually quite fun."

Although Zhong Li's consciousness still could not enter the Sea of Consciousness after all these years, that did not prevent him from communicating with Ruo Tuo.

Zhong Li had recently been having the same dream over and over, but every time he woke up, he could not remember it clearly.

In his dreams, he saw himself carefully polishing, shaping, and carving a piece of earthy yellow jade until it became the form he envisioned.

He did not know how long it had been. Perhaps days, perhaps years, or perhaps decades, centuries, or thousands of years.

There, he could not feel the passage of time.

Day after day, year after year.

The most perfect creation in his heart was complete.
