Douluo: Bestowing Ning Rongrong in Marriage, Reward: Heaven Shading Method

Tang San, standing not far away, recalled his other martial soul—the Clear Sky Hammer—when he heard the Soul Emperor Teacher say that.

He could not help wondering whether there was some connection between the two.

"Those who passed the selection, come with me. Looks like there are only a few of you this year!"

With a grave expression, Dai Mubai glanced at Ye Xingchen, then spread his hands in invitation.

"As your guide, I'll take you straight through the first and second tests. You can go directly to the third!"

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong could not help feeling a little bored. She shot Dai Mubai a glance and said,

"Who asked you to guide us? Like we need you!"

Dai Mubai's old face flushed red. He shook his head slightly, feeling somewhat helpless as he looked at the ill-tempered Ning Rongrong.

After glancing at Ye Xingchen, he led Tang San and Xiao Wu forward.

"We should follow them too. Since we've come to Shrek Academy, we should follow their rules," Ye Xingchen said with a smile.

Ning Rongrong smiled and nodded, looping her arm through Ye Xingchen's as she teased him.

"Zhu Zhuqing and I just can't stand that guy. He's way too arrogant, always acting like no one else matters. What girl would ever like him?"

"My Husband is much better. He's handsome, has a good temper, and he's strong too. That's the kind of man I want!"

Zhu Zhuqing silently shook her head beside them. That dog food came way too suddenly, didn't it?

She sighed and folded her arms.

"Could you watch yourselves? There's still someone standing right beside you. That dog food was served far too promptly!"

Ye Xingchen smiled faintly, glanced at the two of them, and slowly walked ahead.

Before long, the group followed Dai Mubai to the area for the second test.

A long line had already formed there, made up almost entirely of children who had passed Shrek Academy's preliminary test.

Off to one side, Oscar waved the large sausages in his hands, tirelessly sweet-talking the newly admitted children.

"Fresh, delicious big sausages are ready! Who wants one? Replenish your strength—the best choice there is!"

"Don't miss out as you pass by! Once you miss my stall, there won't be another like it!"

Tang San, who had approached Oscar, glanced at the sausage in his hand, then turned to Xiao Wu and asked,

"Xiao Wu, do you want one? That sausage looks pretty tasty!"

Xiao Wu had been watching Ye Xingchen the entire time. Hearing this, she shook her head slightly.

She glanced at the sausage in Oscar's hand and said flatly,

"You eat it, Brother. I don't like that."

Oscar, who was still hawking his goods, smiled slightly when he heard the siblings talking. He immediately took out two sausages and said with a grin,

"Little sister, my sausages are famous for being delicious. Want one? I'll give you this one for free. How about it? We can be friends!"

Hearing Oscar say that, Xiao Wu nodded slightly and was just about to reach out for the sausage.

Then she saw Dai Mubai walk over. He glanced at Oscar and said disdainfully,

"You, put those sausages away, will you? Selling sausages here is seriously damaging our academy's reputation!"

"These two are geniuses who just enrolled this year. Stop trying to fool them with fake stuff and make a couple of real sausages for them!"

Oscar felt somewhat embarrassed when he saw Dai Mubai approach. He smiled awkwardly and withdrew the sausages.

Sensing that something was off, Tang San found it rather strange. He turned to Dai Mubai and asked,

"What's wrong with his sausages?"

Dai Mubai folded his arms and smiled, then told Tang San the secret behind Oscar's sausage-making. It made Tang San feel sick.

Tang San gave Oscar a disgusted look, shook his head, and said,

"Forget it. We won't be eating sausages."

Oscar sighed awkwardly. Looking at the sausages he could not sell, he was about to complain when he saw Ye Xingchen and the other two walking over. The moment he spotted Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, his eyes practically turned into hearts.

"Oh my god, are the girls enrolling this year really this high-quality? They're way too beautiful, and their figures are incredible too!"

Hearing Oscar say that, a shadow crossed Dai Mubai's face.

He turned back to glance at Zhu Zhuqing and the White-Robed Man, then said flatly,

"I'd advise you not to provoke him. Even I can't beat him. Do you think you can handle him?"

Oscar was stunned. He glanced at Ye Xingchen and hurriedly asked,

"No way. Is he already at the Soul Elder Level at such a young age?"

"Boss Dai, you're not joking, right? If he's really that strong, then the top spot in our academy will probably be his!"

Dai Mubai sighed, finding it hard to put into words. He looked at Oscar and said with a smile,

"It's not that simple. Spend some time around him in a couple of days, and you'll understand what I mean."

"Alright, I'm taking them to see Teacher Zhao Wuji. I wonder how he wants me to test these guys this time!"

With that, Dai Mubai walked toward Ye Xingchen and the other two. After glancing at Zhu Zhuqing, he said calmly,

"All of your Soul Power has already reached the Soul Grandmaster level. So the second test makes no difference to you. Let's go straight to the third level!"

Ning Rongrong nodded indifferently. Seeing Dai Mubai staring at Zhu Zhuqing the whole time, she found it somewhat strange.

She stepped forward, waved a hand in front of his face, and asked,

"You're really weird. Why do you keep staring at Zhu Zhuqing? Is it because she has a good figure?"

"You look decent enough, so why can't your eyes stay under your control?"

Zhu Zhuqing's face reddened slightly at those words. She glanced at Dai Mubai in disgust, then took a step behind Ye Xingchen.

Dai Mubai felt awkward when he saw how repulsed Zhu Zhuqing was by him, and a trace of sadness rose in his heart.

"You've misunderstood. I'm not that kind of person!"

Ning Rongrong snorted indifferently, planted her hands on her hips, and stood in front of Zhu Zhuqing.

"I don't care. If you have those thoughts, get rid of them as soon as possible. Zhu Zhuqing is my sister, so you'd better not get any ideas about her!"

Dai Mubai started to speak, but after glancing at Ye Xingchen, he swallowed the words lodged in his throat.

He sighed and immediately strode ahead.

After he left, Zhu Zhuqing, who stood behind Ye Xingchen, sighed softly. She looked at Ning Rongrong and said with a smile,

"Rongrong, there was no need for that. These people will be our classmates from now on. We should try to get along with them."

Ning Rongrong nodded with a giggle, hooking one arm through Zhu Zhuqing's and the other through Ye Xingchen's as she teased them.

"I don't care about that. There was something wrong with his gaze. What boy stares at a girl like that?"

"Come on, let's see what the third-level test looks like!"

Ye Xingchen smiled calmly and patted Ning Rongrong on the head, not knowing what else to say.

A moment later, in the area for the Third-Level Test, Zhao Wuji sat in a chair with his hands behind his back. As he sensed footsteps approaching, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

He stretched, rose to his feet, and said flatly,

"Looks like there are quite a few little monsters selected for the Third-Level Test this year. Shrek Academy hasn't seen a sight like this in a long time!"

"Strange. Four girls and two boys. The girls are really outnumbering the boys!"

Looking at Zhao Wuji, the Immoveable Ming King, Ye Xingchen's lips curled up slightly.

Back when he watched this episode, his blood had boiled with excitement. This old fellow was simply too powerful; his defenses were utterly terrifying!

If he had not been too careless, Tang San would never have beaten him into such a miserable state.

Now that Ye Xingchen had come here in person, he wanted to test Zhao Wuji, the Immoveable Ming King's terrifying defense for himself!

"Teacher Zhao, these are the people who reached the third stage this year. How would you like me to test them?" Dai Mubai asked with a calm expression, cupping his fists toward Zhao Wuji.

"There's no need for you to do it this year. Let me see their level myself..."

"I'm Zhao Wuji, and I'm the examiner in charge of testing you in the final stage. Since all five of you have passed the test, let me see what you're really made of!"

"There's no use trying to play tricks with me. And speed alone certainly won't let you evade my attacks. So I advise you to coordinate as one and attack me together!"

"As long as you can last through One Incense Stick, I'll count it as your victory. If you can't last One Incense Stick, you should leave while you still can!"

Zhao Wuji smiled nonchalantly. He turned around, looked at Ye Xingchen and the others, and said flatly,

"Alright, Dai Mubai, tell them about my strength. Let them understand a little more clearly before they die!"

Dai Mubai looked somewhat stunned when he heard that. In the past, he had always been the one to test newly enrolled students. He had not expected Teacher Zhao Wuji to personally step in this year.

Feeling rather troubled, he looked at Teacher Zhao Wuji and asked,

"Teacher, isn't this a little inappropriate? After all, they..."

Before he could finish, Zhao Wuji cut him off. He turned and looked at the group, saying flatly,

"The dean isn't here, so I'm in charge. If these little brats can't even last One Incense Stick, what use would Shrek Academy have for such trash?"

Tang San clenched his fists tightly upon hearing that. Looking at the arrogant teacher before him, he felt rather uncomfortable.

"Alright, then I'll explain it to them," Dai Mubai said helplessly, nodding.

He turned around and said,

"Looks like your luck isn't very good this year. Teacher Zhao Wuji is personally testing you, so there's nothing I can do about it!"

Ning Rongrong, her arms folded, froze for a moment. She glanced at Zhao Wuji and asked,

"Is this guy also a Soul Emperor Teacher? If so, the four of us are all close to level thirty. There shouldn't be much of a problem dealing with him, right?"

Dai Mubai shook his head indifferently. He glanced at Ye Xingchen and said flatly,

"It's not that simple. Teacher Zhao Wuji isn't a Soul Emperor. He's a Soul Saint!"

Tang San's expression changed slightly at those words. Looking at Zhao Wuji seated before them, he felt a hint of pressure.

The gap between the Soul Emperor level and the Soul Saint Level was like an uncrossable chasm. They were only at level thirty; fighting an expert like this was no different from smashing eggs against a rock—courting death.

"Isn't this a joke? A Soul Saint Level expert is going to fight us? Do we even need to fight? Why not just surrender?" Tang San shook his head slightly and said, "If this is how Shrek Academy welcomes new students, then I'd rather not stay at this academy!"

Ye Xingchen shook his head slightly from the side. He looked at the others and said flatly,

"Don't panic. Since Teacher Zhao is a Soul Saint Level expert, he naturally won't use Soul Saint Level strength against us."

Zhao Wuji, sitting in his chair, smiled slightly. He opened his eyes, looked at Ye Xingchen, and teased,

"That's right. Using Soul Saint Level strength against a bunch of brats like you would be far too much bullying. I'm not shameless enough for that!"

"Are you done talking? If you are, hurry up and fight me. My broadsword is already itching for action!"

Tang San nodded with a complicated expression. He turned to look at the others and said,

"This is everyone's first time at this academy, and none of us understands each other's abilities. Why don't we work together and get through this challenge?"

Ning Rongrong, still with her arms folded, smiled. She glanced at Tang San and shook her head.

"Little brother, I'm afraid we won't need to cooperate. He's only a Soul Saint Level expert!"

"My Husband should be able to handle him, right?"

Ye Xingchen felt a slight headache when he heard that. Rongrong really does keep talking about me now.

Still, a Soul Saint suppressing his own strength truly was nothing to him compared to a Titled Douluo suppressing his strength.

"What do you mean by that? Are the three of you planning to fight him alone?" Xiao Wu asked in confusion as she looked at Ye Xingchen.

"I think it would be better if we worked together!"
