Final Assessment

Dai Mubai's expression shifted drastically upon seeing Oscar, and he hurried over to the sausage stall.

"Don't eat it!"

Dai Mubai shouted toward Li Luo and the others.

Tang San, who had already grown wary of Oscar, became even more certain that there was something wrong with the sausages.

"You didn't buy any of his sausages to eat, did you?"

Dai Mubai looked at Li Luo and the others, asking.

"Why not? Is there something wrong with the sausages he sells?"

Xiao Wu asked, puzzled. She had originally intended to buy four—one each for herself, Li Luo, Tang San, and Ning Rongrong.

However, she had been stopped by Li Luo. Although Xiao Wu followed Li Luo's words implicitly, she couldn't help but feel curious; after all, the gluttonous Xiao Wu really wanted to taste the grilled sausages Oscar was selling.

Dai Mubai covered his face, not knowing how to explain. After a moment of thought, he decided to let Oscar reveal it himself.

Dai Mubai turned his head to look at Oscar.

"Little Ao, show them the process of making your sausages."

Hearing Dai Mubai's words, Oscar felt a bit awkward.

"Boss Dai, you can't just tear down my stage like this! How am I supposed to keep my business running if you do this?"

Oscar was reluctant, but Dai Mubai didn't indulge him at all.

"Hurry up. These people will be our fellow students soon, so stop being so secretive."

Unable to resist Dai Mubai's firm attitude, Oscar had no choice but to demonstrate on the spot.

"I Have a Big Sausage!"

Oscar chanted his soul incantation, a lecherous grin spreading across his face.

Immediately after, a fresh sausage appeared in his palm.

Hearing Oscar's soul incantation and seeing his lecherous expression, paired with that scruffy beard, the girls—Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing—all looked at Oscar with disdain.

"Pah, pah! Disgusting!"

"Boss Dai, you've ruined my image in front of the juniors!"

Oscar complained to Dai Mubai.

"Enough, it was bound to happen sooner or later."

Dai Mubai didn't care about Oscar's complaints at all, turning instead to introduce him to Li Luo and the others.

"This is Oscar. He is also a student here at Shrek Academy. He is fourteen years old this year and is a twenty-ninth-level food-system Soul Grand Master."

"Don't let his soul skill's lecherous nature fool you; its effects are truly outstanding. In the future, you all will..."

Dai Mubai paused for a moment. He had intended to say that they would all eventually have to eat Oscar's big sausages, but he realized the statement carried an ambiguous connotation, so he stopped abruptly and didn't continue.

Hearing Dai Mubai's words, everyone except Li Luo wore expressions of astonishment.

"This lecherous uncle is our senior? He's fourteen?"

Ning Rongrong looked at Oscar's thick beard, finding it hard to believe.

"He looks like at least a middle-aged man!"

"Ahem!"

Dai Mubai coughed lightly to explain.

"Little Ao is indeed fourteen. It's just that... er, never mind. You'll understand once he shaves his beard."

Dai Mubai didn't want to over-explain for Oscar; he was in a hurry to take Li Luo and the others to the fourth trial so they could enroll as soon as possible.

The incident with Oscar passed quickly, and Dai Mubai led Li Luo and the others to the fourth trial.

On the way, Dai Mubai continued to introduce Shrek Academy to them.

"Our Shrek Academy may look small, but it has everything it needs."

"We have three Soul Saint teachers. There is the dean, an agility-attack type with the Four-Eyed Owl martial soul, who is a 78th-level Soul Saint."

"Then there is the vice-dean, a power-attack type with the Vajra Diamond Bear martial soul, who is a 76th-level Soul Saint. Oh, and the vice-dean, Zhao Wuji, has a nickname called the Immovable Wisdom King; you might have heard of him."

Upon hearing the name of the Immovable Wisdom King, a flash of surprise crossed Ning Rongrong's face. She hadn't expected that the notorious Immovable Wisdom King of the soul master world would actually be at such a tiny place like Shrek Academy.

However, Ning Rongrong didn't show too much shock. After all, she was the young mistress of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect; there were many Soul Saints in her sect, so it wasn't particularly strange.

"The quality of students at our Shrek Academy is very high. Right now, besides you all, er, there is one other student in the academy."

At this point, Dai Mubai's expression was clearly somewhat awkward, as this wasn't exactly something to boast about, so he skipped over the topic without further introduction.

"You will see him once you enroll."

"Besides that, our Shrek Academy produces many talents. It is said that our most outstanding senior has already become the youngest elder of Martial Soul Hall."

Dai Mubai finally found a topic to brag about, but the surprise and admiration he expected from Li Luo's group didn't happen; instead, they responded with skepticism.

"Stop bragging. To become an elder of Martial Soul Hall, one must be at least a Titled Douluo. All the Titled Douluo in this world are well-known figures, and we've never heard of anyone coming from this tiny Shrek Academy."

It was Ning Rongrong who stepped out to confront Dai Mubai again; while she was a well-behaved little darling in front of Li Luo, her "Little Demoness" side was displayed to the fullest when dealing with outsiders, especially those who tried to act cool in front of her.

"Uh..."

Dai Mubai felt somewhat awkward. As a prince of the Star Luo Empire, he naturally knew that it was impossible for Shrek Academy to have produced someone like an elder of the Martial Soul Hall.

However, the Dean kept that phrase on his lips all day long, so eventually, Dai Mubai had started to deceive himself and actually believed that nonsense.

Only after being mercilessly called out by Ning Rongrong today did Dai Mubai snap back to reality.

Consequently, Dai Mubai wisely shut his mouth and said nothing more. After all, the more one spoke, the more one erred; it would be bad if he lowered the new students' impression of Shrek Academy and caused them to run off.

Led by Dai Mubai, Li Luo and the others soon arrived at the final stage of the entrance examination.

Li Luo and the others stopped in their tracks and looked at a rocking chair in front of them, upon which lay a burly man with a broad back and thick waist.

"Teacher Zhao, I've brought the new students over."

The man addressed as Teacher Zhao slowly sat up from the rocking chair, and upon seeing Li Luo and the others, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Yo, there are so many new students this year!"

At this moment, Dai Mubai leaned in to whisper in Zhao Wuji's ear, briefly recounting his clash with Li Luo yesterday.

Hearing Dai Mubai's introduction, Zhao Wuji was clearly intrigued.

He walked up to Li Luo and the others and shouted loudly.

"This is the final stage before enrollment. The content of this stage is for the five of you to join forces and hold out against me for the time it takes for one incense stick to burn. As long as that time passes, you will all be admitted. Otherwise, get lost and go back to wherever you came from!"

Of course, Zhao Wuji didn't mean what he said. It hadn't been easy to get so many new students this year, so he wouldn't let these people go. Regardless of whether they could hold out for the duration of an incense stick, he would let Li Luo and the others enroll.

He was simply itching for a fight and wanted to stretch his muscles.

However, Dai Mubai was surprised by Zhao Wuji's words.

"Teacher Zhao, in previous years, I was the one who tested the new students in the final stage. Why are you doing it yourself this year..."

"Get lost to the side; I'm doing it myself this year."

Zhao Wuji interrupted Dai Mubai.

"If you test them, then what am I supposed to do?"

"Polish my shoes!"
