Tang San vs Zhao Wuji

Tang San vs Zhao Wuji

Just as Ye Liangchen and Zhu Zhu Qing were hurrying toward Barak Soto City, Tang San and Xiao Wu finally arrived at the entrance of Shrek Academy, preparing to join the school. In front of them was a sweet-looking little beauty with fair skin. This person was none other than the Little Witch of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Rongrong.

Shrek Academy had begun recruiting students, and quite a few others had come because of its reputation as well. Among them were many parents bringing their children to sign up.

Dai Mu Bai and Teacher Li Yusong were in charge of enrollment at the gate. Just then, Oscar also came trotting over eagerly and stood together with Dai Mu Bai.

"Xiao Ao, why aren't you selling sausages anymore?" Dai Mu Bai asked curiously.

"Boss Dai, I ran into a pretty strong young man a while ago. Back then, he asked me when Shrek Academy would be recruiting students, so I came to see whether he'd show up."

"Oh! What did he look like?"

"Mm! An ordinary handsome guy. He was probably even younger than me, but his Soul Power was very high."

"Could it have been him?"

"Boss Dai, you've seen him?"

"I once saw him at the Rose Hotel. I felt like he was even stronger than me. He probably won't come."

"No way, right? Boss Dai, he's stronger than you? You're at rank 37 Soul Power, you know."

"Xiao Ao, I have no reason to lie to you."

Dai Mu Bai described to Oscar the young man he had encountered back then at the Rose Hotel.

"Dai Mu Bai, Oscar, what are you two muttering about?"

Just then, Teacher Li Yusong's voice rang out.

"Teacher Li, Oscar and I met a genius young man more than twenty days ago. We just don't know whether he'll come to Shrek Academy."

Dai Mu Bai and Oscar explained what had happened with the young man they had met some time ago. To be honest, they also hoped a genius of that caliber would come to Shrek Academy.

"Don't overthink it. A genius like that is definitely a disciple of a major clan. He wouldn't look twice at our academy."

After listening to their description, Li Yusong shook his head. What Monster Academy? Wasn't that just something Flender had bragged up? As a teacher of the academy, he knew the academy's situation all too well.

"Some students' parents want to take back the registration fee. Dai Mu Bai, show them your strength."

Shrek Academy's registration fee was 10 Gold Soul Coins. Whether someone was admitted or not, the tuition would not be refunded. In any case, they scammed whoever they could, which led many students who were not admitted to complain, especially those students' parents.

Dai Mu Bai followed Li Yusong's arrangement and released his three spirit rings—two yellow and one purple—scaring off those who wanted their tuition back.

In the end, only Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the Little Witch Ning Rongrong passed Shrek Academy's assessment. Tang San and Xiao Wu in particular were only twelve years old, yet their Soul Power was as high as rank 29, leaving the other ordinary applicants far behind.

When Dai Mu Bai and Oscar saw Ning Rongrong, their eyes immediately lit up, especially Oscar, who looked as though he had met his White moonlight.

"Boss Dai, I'm in love. You'd better not fight me for her!" Oscar quietly sent a voice transmission to Dai Mu Bai.

"Xiao Ao, her background isn't simple. This is a bit risky."

Although Dai Mu Bai usually spent his days indulging in wine and women, he was still of royal birth. The moment he saw Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul, he immediately knew she came from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, one of the Upper Three Sects. Faced with someone from a Great Sect like that, he did not dare provoke her casually.

At this time, Ning Rongrong was very proud and naturally looked down on these men. She had only entered her rebellious phase and run away from home to Shrek Academy for fun.

Seeing Tang San and Xiao Wu join Shrek Academy, Dai Mu Bai immediately rattled off Shrek Academy's glorious achievements to them, after all, this was something Flender had instructed him to do before. As long as new students joined, he had to hype it up for all it was worth.

Sure enough, after his boasting, Tang San and Xiao Wu were completely taken in, while Dai Mu Bai and Oscar nearly could not hold back their laughter. Especially when Dai Mu Bai went against his conscience and said that among the students who graduated from Shrek, someone had even become the youngest elder of Spirit Hall, even he himself felt embarrassed.

After all, several years ago, when Flender had boasted in front of that genius young man, he had been exposed on the spot by the other party's elders. From then on, Dai Mu Bai and Oscar had known just how unreliable Flender was.

Very soon, they reached the fourth round of the assessment. The thickheaded Zhao Wuji discovered that three students had been recruited this time, and all of their Soul Power exceeded rank 25, which was very good. But he still wanted to personally test Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong, making them last for the time it took an incense stick to burn under his attacks.

"Teacher Zhao, there are only three of them, and you still want them to last for an incense stick? Isn't that making things hard for them?"

Dai Mu Bai thought to himself that he had nearly bragged the sky down and finally managed to fool three students into joining, so what was Zhao Wuji trying to pull now?

"Mu Bai, are you teaching me how to do things? The Dean isn't here. I call the shots in the academy."

Zhao Wuji had gone to the Soto Grand Spirit Arena yesterday and lost a little money gambling. He was still feeling depressed now, and seeing three examinees arrive, he decided to personally test them to relieve his boredom.

"Tang San, you're on your own! Usually, I'm the one who handles the fourth round assessment. I don't know what's gotten into Teacher Zhao today, saying he wants to personally test you. But don't worry, with your qualifications, the academy will definitely accept you. At most, you'll just take a beating."

"Brother Dai, how strong is Teacher Zhao?"

"Teacher Zhao Wuji's martial soul is the Vajra Bear. He's a rank 76 Soul Saint, and his defense is extremely strong."

"A rank 76 Soul Saint?"

When Dai Mu Bai stated Zhao Wuji's strength, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong were all stunned.

At that moment, Tang San had a certain "mmp" in his heart and did not know whether he should say it or not. A rank 76 Soul Saint was here to bully three small fry like them. Was this something a human would do?

"Xiao San, we're leaving."

At this moment, Xiao Wu directly grabbed Tang San's hand and prepared to slip away. Joining this lousy academy meant they had to take a beating too? Who could stand that?

Ning Rongrong, who was beside them, said nothing. She thought to herself that if she got beaten, she would later call Sword Grandpa over to beat Zhao Wuji up. She was not someone who would just swallow a loss.

"Xiao Wu, don't be impulsive. Teacher told us to come here."

Tang San grabbed Xiao Wu and advised her not to throw a tantrum.

"All you know is listening to your teacher. You can't even sleep properly. A while ago, you swung a hammer and smashed it onto your own foot, and you even tripped for no reason while walking."

Ever since Xiao Wu had been tripped by Tang San last time, leaving a big bump on her head that hurt for two days, she had developed a bit of a shadow in her heart. She was afraid this guy would drop the ball at a critical moment.

"You don't need to worry. Teacher Zhao won't really hurt you. He only wants to test you."

Seeing that Xiao Wu was about to back out, Dai Mu Bai immediately urged her to stay. It hadn't been easy for three students to show up; he couldn't let them slip away.

"Xiao Wu, trust me."

Tang San held Xiao Wu's hand and coaxed her for a while. At last, he managed to soothe this little rabbit. After that, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong introduced themselves to one another and decided to face Zhao Wuji together.

The assessment soon began, but once they truly started fighting, things became difficult. There were only three of them. As a Control System Soul Master, Tang San not only had to control the situation on the battlefield, but also protect Ning Rongrong, who had no offensive power at all. That left only Xiao Wu to fight Zhao Wuji.

As soon as the battle began, Zhao Wuji reached for Ning Rongrong first. Tang San activated Blue Silver Grass and pulled Ning Rongrong away from the battlefield.

"Crackle, crackle..."

On the other side, Xiao Wu used Supple Skill and Eight Stage Throw to attack Zhao Wuji, her movements extremely swift.

"Ahhh..."

But the gap in strength was far too great. Her blows landed on Zhao Wuji like tickles. In less than five minutes, Xiao Wu's Charm soul skill was broken by Zhao Wuji in an instant, directly causing Xiao Wu to suffer Soul Power backlash and fall unconscious. When Tang San's Blue Silver Grass wrapped around Zhao Wuji, he gave a light shake and shattered it outright.

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu..."

The moment Xiao Wu fainted, Tang San held the unconscious Xiao Wu in his arms, his eyes bloodshot as he kept calling her name. He blamed himself bitterly. It was all his fault for failing to protect her.

"Don't worry. She only suffered Soul Power backlash. She'll be fine after resting for a day." Zhao Wuji's voice rang out from afar, reminding Tang San not to worry.

"You've lost. My incense has only burned a third of the way down. Far too poor. Do you two still want to keep going?" Seeing the three little fellows in such a sorry state, Zhao Wuji felt very pleased.

Looking at Zhao Wuji's arrogant manner, Tang San handed Xiao Wu over to Ning Rongrong to watch over, then stared coldly at Zhao Wuji.

"Teacher Zhao, next, I'll fight you alone for the time it takes one stick of incense to burn. If I win, the three of us will count as having passed. How about it?"

Zhao Wuji froze, thinking that the three of them together couldn't do it, so why was he still trying to show off alone?

"And if you lose?"

Tang San turned his head toward Ning Rongrong, wanting to ask for her opinion. Ning Rongrong spoke directly. "Tang San, don't force yourself. At worst, we'll just go to another academy."

"All right. If I lose, the three of us will leave."

Tang San had once sworn to Xiao Wu that he would protect her for the rest of his life, but now he had let Xiao Wu get hurt and fall unconscious. He couldn't bear it. At the same time, his heart was filled with hatred for Zhao Wuji. Daring to hurt his Xiao Wu meant the other party had found the Way of Seeking Death.

"Fine. Then I'll see what trump cards you have."

Zhao Wuji lit another stick of incense. In truth, he had long since acknowledged these children in his heart, but seeing Tang San so serious, he decided to play along with him a little longer.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

As soon as the battle began, Tang San's hands rapidly took Willow Leaf Knives, Locust Stones, Bone Penetrating Needles, and all sorts of Hidden Weapons from his Soul Tool, shooting them toward the vital points all over Zhao Wuji's body. Many of those Hidden Weapons had been coated with deadly poison.

"Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding..."

The rain-like storm of Hidden Weapons immediately left Zhao Wuji stunned. He thought to himself that this brat actually had such methods. Even Dai Mu Bai, Oscar, and Ning Rongrong in the distance were shocked speechless.

"Poison. This kid is ruthless enough."

Zhao Wuji was a level 76 Soul Saint, after all, and his defensive power was incomparably strong. He mobilized his Soul Power and covered his body with it; Tang San's Hidden Weapons simply couldn't break through his defense.

After the first round had been fired, Tang San directly brought out major killing weapons like Sand Shooting Shadow, the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, and the Tight Back Flower Adorned Crossbow. But because he had no Dragon Beard Needle, Tang San couldn't break Zhao Wuji's defenses. He even used his Hammer Spirit, but was still knocked back by Zhao Wuji's powerful soul skill.

Zhao Wuji was left dizzy and disoriented by Tang San's various poisonous Hidden Weapons. One poisonous arrow was caught between his teeth, making his tongue go numb. Among them, Tang San's mechanism-type Hidden Weapons had tremendous killing power; when they struck his body, his skin stung sharply, finally irritating him.

"Are you done or not?"

Zhao Wuji thought, How can this guy be so vicious at such a young age?

"Hah..."

So Zhao Wuji shook off those Hidden Weapons and charged straight over. An uppercut, a Left Straight Kick, and a right whip kick sent Tang San flying more than ten meters away.

"Ahh..."

"Crack..."

After taking several of Zhao Wuji's moves, Tang San immediately felt as if his whole body had been torn apart. But before he fell to the ground, he still pulled out a Sand Shooting Shadow Hidden Weapon, exhausted the last of his strength, and shot the poison needles toward Zhao Wuji. Then he collapsed to the ground, blood spilling from his mouth, unconscious.

"Swish, swish..."

Those poison needles struck Zhao Wuji's skin, sending waves of stinging pain and numbness through him.

"I got careless and didn't dodge! I didn't expect this kid to still have a move like that before he hit the ground."

"Mu Bai, carry that kid into the dormitory and let him rest. Let them enroll tomorrow."

Although Tang San lost in the end, as a teacher, Zhao Wuji was very satisfied with Tang San's performance. It was just that he was too sinister and ruthless. He would have to be properly taught in the future.

Tang San had taken Zhao Wuji's whip kick, and his injuries were not light. Two of his ribs had even been broken. Tang Hao, who had been watching all of this from afar, could no longer sit still.

That night, Zhao Wuji was thinking about how to teach Tang San. This guy's every move was aimed at taking lives. Who knew which bastard had trained him?

"Zhao Wuji, come out."

Just then, a deep voice came from the woods behind the academy and entered Zhao Wuji's ears. At the same time, a powerful aura locked onto him.

"Come out! I know you're here."

Zhao Wuji immediately rushed into the woods on the rear mountain and searched all around. A powerful expert had descended, and as a teacher, he had to be responsible for the students' safety.

"Zhao Wuji, you like bullying the weak with your strength. Today, let's spar as well. I won't use my spirit. As long as you can last under my fists for the time it takes one stick of incense to burn, I'll count it as my loss. Otherwise, you'll have to do one thing for me."

Suddenly, an old man in black robes appeared ahead, holding a great hammer. Two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red—nine soul rings appeared.

"A T-Titled Douluo."

The moment Zhao Wuji saw those nine soul rings, he was scared stupid and hurriedly begged for mercy.

"May I ask which senior you are?"

"Chirp, chirp, chirp..."

Just then, Four-Eyed Cat Eagle Flender arrived in the woods and respectfully bowed to the man in black.

"Greetings, Haotian Crown."

Tang Hao said coldly to Flender, "Step aside. This has nothing to do with you."

"Haotian Crown, I don't believe I've offended you. If you want to kill me, at least give me a reason!" The moment Zhao Wuji heard it was this fierce man, he immediately lost his nerve.

"When the little one gets beaten, the old one naturally has to come out and ask for an explanation."

After Tang Hao finished speaking, he swung his fist straight at Zhao Wuji, the scene turning extremely brutal.

"Ahhhhhhh..."

Earlier, Tang San had had two ribs broken by Zhao Wuji, so Tang Hao showed no mercy either. He struck hard, going straight into savage mode.

"Ahhhhhhh..."

Five minutes later, one of Zhao Wuji's arms had been broken, four of his ribs were fractured, and his old face had been beaten into a pig's head.

"Zhao Wuji, do you understand now?"

Tang Hao asked Zhao Wuji coldly as he lay on the ground.

Understand what? I understand jack shit. You showed up and beat me senseless.

Zhao Wuji lay on the ground, feeling utterly hopeless, but he couldn't afford to provoke a Titled Douluo, so he could only nod. "Thank you for your guidance, Crown."

Damn it, he got beaten by the other man and still had to thank him. What kind of bullshit was this?

"I'll trouble you all from now on."

After Tang Hao finished beating Zhao Wuji, he left behind those words and vanished at once. In truth, he continued hiding in the shadows, mainly because he was afraid that Little Rabbit would be discovered by other powerful figures.

"Flender, you really aren't loyal enough." Zhao Wuji struggled up from the ground and complained to Flender.

"Look at the fine mess you made today."

Flender shook his head helplessly and brought the heavily injured Zhao Wuji back to the academy. What he hadn't expected was that Tang San was actually Tang Hao's son.

This time, Zhao Wuji had one hand broken, four ribs fractured, and his face beaten beyond recognition, while Tang San had had two ribs broken during the assessment by Zhao Wuji, who had flown into a rage from embarrassment. It could be considered mutual destruction.

Flender had no choice but to spend a hefty sum to invite a Healing Type Soul Master from Suotuo City to treat the two of them, making his heart ache for quite a while. Those were Gold Soul Coins!
