[ Ding! The plot modification is complete. Tang San made himself impotent by crashing into Zhao Wuji. Reward: one Little Invincibility Pill.] [Little Invincibility Pill: For ten minutes after taking it, anyone with a Soul Power Level below 40 cannot harm you. Damage dealt by those with a Soul Power Level between 40 and 80 is reduced by 20%, and damage from the portion below Level 40 is negated. It has no effect on anyone above Level 80.] [Tang San's chest crashed into Zhao Wuji's right palm...]
Ye Lin had simply switched the chest for the crotch to see what would happen. She hadn't expected it to work so well or to hurt Tang San so badly.
For a man, few things were more upsetting than being told he couldn't perform. Who knew when Tang San would figure it out?
Looking at the Little Invincibility Pill in System Space, Ye Lin fell into thought.
It wouldn't be long before she found a use for this pill.
"Let's continue the examination."
In the end, Zhao Wuji used those words to ease his embarrassment.
"Teacher Zhao, I think we've already passed."
As soon as he began speaking, he heard Tang San's voice.
"Hmm?"
Zhao Wuji looked over in confusion at the burning incense. It had just burned down to the end.
Tang San's rolling around had used up the time it took for one stick of incense to burn.
Dai Mubai suddenly looked at Tang San in surprise.
Then he said something that made Tang San tremble with anger.
"Tang San, you weren't really doing that on purpose, were you?"
He recalled what had happened at the hotel earlier. Tang San had dropped to his knees and gotten Dai Mubai to leave the hotel. Now he'd deliberately taken a blow to the crotch and used Teacher Zhao's concern to last until the incense burned down, passing the fourth trial. It actually made sense.
"You really do have your own special methods!"
Dai Mubai looked at Tang San with deep contempt.
Although the incense had burned down, Tang San was still in terrible pain. Even Zhao Wuji's casual palm strike had done serious damage. If it had been a heavier blow, Tang San would have been finished.
Tang San gritted his teeth. "You're the one who did it on purpose! Your whole family did it on purpose!"
"I challenge you!"
He'd always been looked down on and given a hard time at Notting Academy. He hadn't expected to keep getting pushed around after arriving in Suotuo City.
Hadn't he come all this way for nothing?
He really didn't want to cause trouble, but he couldn't hold back the anger boiling inside him.
Who would deliberately take a hit to the crotch?
"Fine."
"Once you've recovered."
Dai Mubai agreed without hesitation. Could Tang San actually have some skill?
"But only if you can join Shrek Academy."
Tang San looked up at Zhao Wuji again.
"Teacher Zhao,"
"You said that as long as we lasted until the incense burned down, all four of us would pass. You can't take it back, can you?"
He was secretly pleased, too. Ye Lin was so strong, yet even she had only just passed the fourth trial.
If he'd been in her place, he definitely wouldn't have lasted until the incense burned down.
Zhao Wuji's face was clouded with frustration. Tang San's words had backed him into a corner, and he blamed himself for making such a firm promise in the first place.
"You passed. You passed."
He waved his hand, feeling somewhat helpless. Even if the four of them hadn't lasted until the incense burned down, he wouldn't have turned these students away.
Anyone who made it to the fourth trial would be accepted,
as long as they weren't pampered and completely incapable of fighting.
Besides, they all had such promising talent. Even if their combat skills weren't up to par, he could train them.
"Mubai, take care of getting these five new students settled in. Classes start tomorrow."
With that, Zhao Wuji returned to his chair and dozed off again, waiting for the other examinees to reach the fourth trial. Though, there wouldn't be any more.
"We passed? It felt pretty easy."
"So this is Shrek Academy?"
Ning Rongrong suddenly covered her mouth and laughed.
Dai Mubai caught the hint of disdain in Ning Rongrong's words and said coldly,
"If it weren't for Tang San, you'd have had a hard time."
"You should be thanking him."
"Thanks, Tang San."
Ning Rongrong bent down to look at Tang San, smiling with unmistakable mockery.
Tang San was immediately embarrassed. He didn't answer Ning Rongrong. Instead, he forced himself to stand upright and looked at Dai Mubai.
"Come on, I've recovered. I challenge you!"
Dai Mubai frowned. "Are you sure?"
"I think you should rest a little longer."
"No need."
A surge of blue Soul Power burst around Tang San. One white and one yellow Spirit Ring appeared beneath his feet. Blue Silver Grass spread rapidly from the palm of his right hand, writhing wildly until it almost completely covered him.
Zhao Wuji slowly opened his half-closed eyes and watched Tang San with interest. Anyone who could cultivate Blue Silver Grass to Soul Power Level 26 had to have some real ability.
Now it was just a question of how long he could last against Dai Mubai. Although Dai Mubai had just been injured, even he was still too much for Tang San to handle. Not everyone was Ye Lin.
"Then show me what you can really do!"
Dai Mubai burst into action. Milky-white Soul Power spread rapidly from his body, and several broken tiger claws extended from his hands. They'd take some time to heal after Ye Lin had broken them, but the damage only added to his killing intent.
"First Soul Skill: Blue Silver Entanglement!"
Tang San's First Spirit Ring flashed, and three blue-green vines shot toward Dai Mubai, wrapping around him.
Dai Mubai swung his tiger claws, slicing straight through the Blue Silver Grass vines.
"White Tiger Barrier!"
A white shield appeared around him. With the White Tiger Barrier protecting him, he charged straight at Tang San, aiming a claw at his chest.
"Hmph."
Tang San snorted, unafraid. His Martial Soul was suited to control, but that didn't mean he couldn't fight at close range. In fact, he was very good at it.
At Notting Academy, no one except Ye Lin and Xiao Wu could beat him in close combat.
He used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to rush toward Dai Mubai.
It was a movement technique, but it was incredibly fast over short distances.
With a single step, Tang San easily dodged Dai Mubai's tiger claws and appeared behind him.
"What exquisite footwork."
A look of surprise appeared on Zhao Wuji's face. Tang San really did have a few tricks up his sleeve.
If he seized this opportunity, and considering Dai Mubai was at less than half his strength, Tang San might actually win.
Tang San spun around quickly, but his knees suddenly went weak.
"Thump!"
As everyone stared in astonishment, Tang San once again
dropped to his knees!
