"Zhao Wuji?"

"He is known as the Immovable Wisdom King, and you want us to fight him?"

Inside Shrek Academy, Ning Rongrong looked at Dai Mubai beside her with an expression of utter disbelief.

Following the introduction by the lecherous tiger, everyone realized their opponent was a ruthless character.

Although the other party had promised to only use his first four soul rings, he was still a genuine Soul Saint, and one who was renowned even among other Soul Saints.

Ning Rongrong, who had left her sect in search of an opportunity for her assessment, had traveled all the way to Suotuo City.

Attracted by the gimmick of Shrek Monster Academy, she had intended to come and take a look.

She never expected that she would actually discover two monsters here.

The unremarkable-looking youth beside her was already a level 38 Soul Elder, with a cultivation higher than her own.

If that were the only exception, it would be one thing, but the rabbit-eared girl beside the youth was also a level 34 Soul Elder.

Only the sister with the curvaceous figure behind them had a cultivation that could be considered normal.

This sparked a deep interest in Ning Rongrong's heart, and she decided that she had to enter this Monster Academy no matter what.

However, after the four of them successfully passed the soul power test and were led into the academy by Dai Mubai, they were met with the final assessment: to survive for the duration of one incense stick against the Immovable Wisdom King, Zhao Wuji.

Dai Mubai looked incredibly embarrassed by the question.

Originally, he was supposed to be the examiner for the fourth round, but having only reached level 37, he had been defeated by Tang San at the Rose Hotel a few days prior.

To put it bluntly, he was no longer qualified to be the examiner.

Upon learning of this, Zhao Wuji had decisively taken over the position of examiner.

He told the four little monsters to hurry up and discuss their tactics.

Just as Ning Rongrong was still complaining, the notification sound that had not been heard in her mind for a long time finally stirred.

Battle God 20th Trial: The Advancing Little Support. Let the enemy know that support soul masters are not soft persimmons to be squeezed at will. Assessment completion depends on the severity of the enemy's injuries. Time limit: one day.

Ning Rongrong was delighted at first, then began to ponder the assessment information.

So I just need to injure this Zhao Wuji?

That means if he remains completely unscathed, I will have failed the assessment.

It seems I cannot hold back anymore.

The moment Ning Rongrong quieted down, Tang San beside her also successfully received his assessment task.

Jinx 40th Trial: The Aloof Deity. How can a deity associate with mortals? Survive alone against Zhao Wuji for the duration of one incense stick. Time limit: one day.

As the assessment was issued, Tang San instantly gasped.

Having witnessed Flender's strength, he was no longer the novice who knew nothing about the powerful.

He had been studying how to coordinate with the girls to pass the assessment, but now he had to scrap his entire strategy.

"Teacher!"

"Hmm? You brat, why aren't you discussing tactics and calling me instead?"

Tang San pondered for a moment, then looked at Zhao Wuji with a firm gaze.

"I request to take the assessment alone."

"Let's have a real man's 1v1 battle!"

As soon as these words were spoken, not only was Zhao Wuji stunned on the spot, but even Dai Mubai and the others looked at him as if he were an idiot.

There should be a limit to overestimating one's own abilities; did he think a level 76 Battle Soul Saint with maxed-out defense and attack stats was playing a game with him?

"Good lad, I've truly seen something new today."

"Go stand to the side for now; I'll satisfy you in a moment."

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu watched as Tang San stood aside, both girls having thoughts they didn't know whether to voice.

Ning Rongrong had intended for these people to go up first to draw fire so she could find an opportunity from the sidelines to complete her assessment.

She hadn't expected the strongest one to withdraw from the joint operation entirely.

As for Xiao Wu, she simply felt that Tang San was looking down on her.

What's the deal? Is he implying that Sister Xiao Wu is holding him back?

Just wait until this bear-blind man beats you to a pulp, you little brat.

"Hmph."

"Alright, forget about him. Let's arrange our own tactics."

"My name is Ning Rongrong, a level 33 support-type Spirit Master with the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda as my spirit."

"I can boost your strength, speed, and spirit power by thirty percent each, and I can maintain it for the duration of an incense stick without any issues."

Hearing Ning Rongrong's cultivation level, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were both startled.

It was common knowledge that support-type Spirit Masters had a harder time cultivating, yet they hadn't expected the young girl before them to have such a high cultivation level.

"My name is Xiao Wu, spirit Soft Bone Rabbit, a level 34 assault-type battle Spirit Master. I'll be responsible for frontal suppression, and you two can look for opportunities from the flanks!"

As Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong introduced themselves one after another, Zhu Zhuqing, standing to the side, fell into deep self-doubt.

I've worked so hard, so why are there so many peers who have left me so far behind?

And why did three of them appear all at once?

Her level 27 cultivation might seem decent, but compared to these three cheaters, she paled in comparison.

Although Xiao Wu didn't have to undergo the same assessments, a spirit beast cultivating in human form naturally had a greater advantage than a standard spirit beast.

"Zhu Zhuqing, level 27 agility-type battle Spirit Master. I will coordinate with you both."

The incense stick had barely finished burning when Zhao Wuji began to urge them impatiently.

"Are you done yet?"

The three girls exchanged a glance; since their combat styles complemented each other, they would simply proceed in the way they were most familiar with.

Ning Rongrong immediately retreated behind the other two, the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda manifesting in her hand and bathing the surroundings in radiant light.

"Good grief, a Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Spirit Master?"

"Seven Treasures has a name: first is Power, second is Speed, third is Spirit!"

Ning Rongrong did not hesitate, and three streams of colored light submerged into the bodies of the three girls.

Feeling their power surge, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but sigh that the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda was truly worthy of being the world's number one support-type spirit.

Having received the buffs, the Little Rabbit and the Little Kitten had no intention of slacking off and quickly launched an attack on Zhao Wuji just as they had envisioned.

"Third Spirit Ability: Teleportation."

With the Soft Bone Rabbit spirit possessed, the Little Rabbit vanished from her spot in an instant.

The next second, she appeared right in front of the wide-eyed Zhao Wuji.

"Good grief, teleportation?"

Before the words had even faded, Xiao Wu's long legs had hooked onto his shoulders, and she activated Waist Bow to slam him fiercely into the ground.

"Bang."

Zhao Wuji was driven into the earth head-first, causing the ground to crack rapidly.

Zhu Zhuqing, who had rushed over, did not hesitate to immediately follow up with a Star Luo Style Massage.

As claw shadows flew everywhere.

The sound of metal clashing—"ding," "ding," "ding," "ding"—rang out continuously from Zhao Wuji's abdomen.

Ning Rongrong, watching from afar, was worried that she might break her fingers.

Zhao Wuji, having regained his senses, felt a surge of shame and anger.

"Truly, the eighty-year-old mother has been tripped by the child."

"Have you brats had enough?"

"Immovable Wisdom King Body!"

As a burst of golden light erupted from Zhao Wuji's body, Zhu Zhuqing was instantly sent flying, falling to the ground with a muffled grunt.

The Little Rabbit, seeing that the situation had turned, activated Teleportation once more to dodge far away.

Zhao Wuji struggled to pull his head out of the ground.

He stood up and brushed the dust off his body.

While cracking his neck with a series of pops, he glared fiercely at the two culprits.

"You little brats, next, let me show you what a Spirit..."

"Bang!"

Before Zhao Wuji could finish his sentence, a pale blue afterimage flashed before his eyes.

Before he could react, he felt a heavy blow to his chin, his legs were instantly lifted off the ground, and he soared into the air before crashing heavily back down to the earth a long moment later.
