"Oh?" Xiao Tian glanced at Ning Rongrong with interest and said, "Which sect are you from?"
Ning Rongrong knew that once she revealed her martial soul, she probably would not be able to hide it, so she lifted her chin slightly and said very proudly, "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
The next moment, a seven-story little pagoda martial soul appeared in front of her, and the bottom two levels were accompanied by two yellow Spirit Rings.
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul!"
Li Yusong was shocked. Why would someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect come to their run-down academy?
And judging by the way this young girl was dressed, she should have held a certain status within the sect too.
"Ning Rongrong, martial soul: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, rank twenty-six."
After saying that, she looked back at Xiao Tian and said, "Hey, Xiao Tian, I've already told you. Can you tell me how you did it too?"
Xiao Tian merely smiled faintly and said, "That's a long story. Once we all pass the test, I'll tell you if there's a chance."
Beside them, Tang San's gaze deepened. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
Wasn't that one of the Top Three Sects his teacher had mentioned?
And it was said to be wealthy enough to rival nations, with all direct descendants being support-type Soul Masters.
An idea immediately arose in his heart. Could he sell some of those Tang Sect Hidden Weapons from his past life to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and gather the starting funds to rebuild the Tang Sect?
"Zhu Zhuqing, martial soul: Hell Spirit Cat, rank twenty-seven."
Seeing that everyone had revealed their martial souls, Zhu Zhuqing then spoke coldly as well.
When Ning Rongrong heard the name of that martial soul, her delicate brows furrowed slightly. She also noticed that Dai Mubai, who was standing beside Li Yusong, had kept his eyes fixed on Zhu Zhuqing the entire time.
Surnamed Dai?
The Star Luo Royal Family?
Wasn't that their sect's sworn enemy?
Well then. To think she had run into him here. Ning Rongrong felt the Little Witch in her nature was almost impossible to suppress.
Although he was not quite clear on the situation, Li Yusong's eyes still lit up. He had overseen so many rounds of new student admissions, and this year had the most qualified applicants yet!
After testing Xiao Tian and the others' bone ages one by one, he said to Dai Mubai at the side, "Mubai, take them straight to the fourth test. I'll leave the rest to you."
Dai Mubai's face turned bitter. Knowing he could not escape, he could only force out a smile as he looked at Xiao Tian and the others. "Come with me."
On the way, Dai Mubai gave them a rough explanation of Shrek Academy. In his opinion, Xiao Tian and the others were definitely getting into the academy without issue. After all, even he had already been beaten once.
For the sake of his own pride, Dai Mubai could only move closer to Xiao Tian and say in a low voice, "Xiao Tian, how about we just go through the motions later? I know I was wrong about yesterday, and I've already been reflecting on it."
Xiao Tian revealed a kind, nuclear smile and indicated that it was fine.
However, Xiao Tian knew that the opponent later should not be Dai Mubai, but that Vajra Bear!
As for Zhao Wuji, aside from Flender being able to suppress him, there was probably no one else. Even though he knew Flender was currently inside the academy, after seeing talents like them, Zhao Wuji definitely would not be able to resist wanting to make a move, right?
Thinking of this, Xiao Tian could not help but smile wickedly. If Zhao Wuji really dared to, then he would turn him into a little blind bear later!
Before long, everyone arrived at the site of the fourth test under Dai Mubai's lead.
On an open field, Zhao Wuji was sitting on a wooden chair with his eyes closed, resting his mind. Sensing movement ahead, he slowly opened his eyes.
"Yo? Mubai, there are actually this many students you're bringing straight to the fourth test this year. Looks like their Soul Power is at least above rank twenty-five, huh?"
Zhao Wuji stood up and stretched his arms and legs, producing a burst of crackling sounds.
Dai Mubai walked over to Zhao Wuji and introduced him to Xiao Tian and the others. "This is Teacher Zhao Wuji, vice dean of Shrek Academy, a rank seventy-six Battle Soul Saint. His martial soul is the Vajra Bear, and he bears the title of Immovable Bright King."
"What? You're the Immovable Bright King? The one who once escaped unscathed while being hunted by sixteen Soul Emperors from Spirit Hall? I never expected you to have been hiding here all these years!"
Ning Rongrong's little mouth opened slightly as she spoke with a face full of surprise.
"Yo, little sister, I didn't expect someone to have heard of my name after all these years. But I'm not too happy about you saying I'm hiding here. If the Soul Emperors Spirit Hall sent back then could have fought 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 are you even saying?
Afterward, Dai Mubai also began briefly explaining Xiao Tian and the others' ranks, but he was stopped halfway through.
"Stop! No need to tell me yet. I'll be the examiner for the fourth test this year. For now, let them keep a tiny bit of an advantage."
Dai Mubai immediately understood what Zhao Wuji meant. First, joy flashed through his heart, but in the next moment, his face fell. "Teacher Zhao, in previous years, I've always been the examiner. The strongest among them is only a Soul Elder. Even if they all team up, they still won't be a match for you, a Soul Saint!"
"And the Dean came by just now. These are all talents the Dean has taken a liking to. If they lose later, I won't be able to explain it."
Seeing Dai Mubai make so many excuses, Zhao Wuji's temper flared up at once. He grabbed Dai Mubai by the collar and said angrily, "That's none of your business! I'll talk to Flender afterward!"
Then Zhao Wuji shoved Dai Mubai aside.
He took out a stick of incense from thin air, lit it, and stuck it into the ground.
"You have the time it takes this incense stick to burn to discuss your strategy. For the fourth test, what you need to do is defeat me!"
After Zhao Wuji finished speaking, he sat back down on the chair, looking calm and unbothered.
Inwardly, however, he was secretly delighted. It had been so long since he had bullied any weaklings. Staying in this godforsaken academy all day was enough to ruin a man. This was just the perfect opportunity to loosen his muscles.
Xiao Tian: We'll see who loosens whose muscles later. Let's see if your hide is thick enough!
Dai Mubai looked helpless too. He slowly walked over beside Xiao Tian and the others, then everyone crouched down, ready to discuss tactics.
"Teacher Zhao's martial soul is the Vajra Bear, integrating offense and defense. Its only weakness is speed. But the gap in your Soul Power is too great, so the best option right now is to stall! Drag it out until time runs out."
But Xiao Tian did not quite agree. The arena was only so big, and two of Zhao Wuji's Spirit Skills were gravity-related restriction skills, so the only way was to fight!
"No. No matter how much we stall, we won't be a match for Teacher Zhao. Our total Soul Power isn't even on the same level, and as a Soul Saint, he definitely has a few restriction Spirit Skills and area-attack Spirit Skills. So we have to go all out from the very beginning!"
As he spoke, Xiao Tian turned his gaze to Tang San.
