Charm Failed, Only to Be Charmed! Shrek's Junior Generation!

"Xiao Wu, be careful!"

Tang San stood at the edge of the grounds, watching the assessment about to begin with extreme nervousness.

Ji Bai glanced at Tang San, then turned back to the three girls before him and smiled faintly.

"Little Tang, don't worry. This is only an assessment. I won't hit Xiao Wu too hard and hurt her."

Little... Tang?

Tang San froze.

"The assessment begins!"

Zhao Wuji lit another stick of incense and held it in his hand, ready at any moment to help the three girls cheat.

Even in a three-on-one fight, after seeing Ji Bai's earlier performance, he did not think the three girls stood the slightest chance. Ji Bai would still need to go easy on them, or he would have to lend them a hand.

"Senior, be careful!"

"Here I come!"

Xiao Wu let out a sweet shout and activated her Martial Soul Possession.

A pink rabbit silhouette emerged behind her and fused with her body. In an instant, rabbit-like traits appeared over her body: a pair of fluffy rabbit ears, a tuft of fur for a tail above her pert buttocks, and her straight, fair legs grew several inches longer. Her figure became even more upright, and even her barely developing curves seemed to have been ripened overnight.

After Zhu Zhuqing possessed the Hell Spirit Cat, her situation was much the same. Her already more voluptuous figure surpassed even Huo Wu's, rare beyond compare and breathtaking. She was alluring and captivating, yet possessed an icy elegance as well, creating an intense contrast.

Both girls had only two yellow Soul Rings.

One was level twenty-nine, the other level twenty-seven. Ji Bai knew this clearly, and he even knew their soul skills inside and out.

Even with Ning Rongrong providing support from behind, their strength was only comparable to that of ordinary Soul Masters who had just entered the Soul Elder realm. The gap between them and him was still immense.

"Zhuqing, as long as I can get close enough to touch him, I can defeat him!"

"Try to draw his attention away!"

As soon as she spoke, Xiao Wu's first Soul Ring lit up. Her skill, Waist Bow, activated, greatly increasing her flexibility and doubling the strength of her waist, allowing her to perform many difficult movements that ordinary people could never accomplish.

With this soul skill activated, the power of the Soft Technique she was about to use on Ji Bai would also be greatly enhanced.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly at her words and moved at once. She was extremely fast, arriving before Ji Bai in the blink of an eye. Her hands formed claws as she launched a flurry of strikes.

Seizing the opportunity, Xiao Wu attacked Ji Bai alongside her.

With Ning Rongrong's enhancement, both girls' strength and speed increased by thirty percent.

Faced with their alternating attacks, Ji Bai strolled leisurely as he dodged, looking completely at ease.

"Excellent! Xiaobai, just like that!"

Watching the scene from behind, Zhao Wuji's heart filled with joy as he watched the time slowly pass.

As long as he waited a little longer, until the incense burned out, Shrek Academy would gain two more fairly talented students. The academy would earn another source of income, and there would be money to pay his salary.

"Second soul skill, Nether Hundred Claws!"

Zhu Zhuqing's expression sharpened. Her hands became claws as she slashed out repeatedly, cold flashes of light appearing one after another.

"Whoosh!"

Ji Bai did not dare to use much force, afraid that he would accidentally kill the two girls. He could only gather a ball of flame in his hand to interrupt Zhu Zhuqing's fierce assault, then struck her shoulder with his palm and forced her back.

"Sizzle—"

Zhu Zhuqing's nose twitched as she caught the smell of something burnt. Looking down, she discovered that not only was a palm print clearly visible where Ji Bai had struck her, but her clothes there had been scorched as well.

"Sorry."

Ji Bai glanced in Zhu Zhuqing's direction, quickly withdrew his gaze, and turned to deal with Xiao Wu.

"Second soul skill, Charm!"

The instant Ji Bai turned his head, Xiao Wu seized the chance to use her Charm skill. Pink light appeared in her beautiful eyes as a thread of spiritual power entered Ji Bai's mind.

"Mental Rebound!"

Using his superb control over spiritual power, Ji Bai broke Xiao Wu's Charm in the blink of an eye. He even reflected her Charm back at her, causing Xiao Wu to fall under the effect of her own soul skill and become hopelessly immersed in her own fantasy world.

From the outside, Xiao Wu simply stood there in a daze, staring at Ji Bai with a lovestruck expression. An indescribable smile appeared on her face, leaving everyone speechless.

"Xiao Wu!"

Seeing this from outside the field, Tang San felt terribly unsettled and was also extremely anxious. If Ji Bai attacked at this moment, Xiao Wu would have no ability to resist.

"Oh, come on!"

Seeing the situation suddenly reverse, Zhao Wuji wailed inwardly and instantly became nervous—more nervous than the three girls taking the assessment and Tang San outside the field.

"Little Zhu, be careful!"

After dealing with Xiao Wu, Ji Bai completely ignored Ning Rongrong and charged straight at Zhu Zhuqing.

"Phoenix God Claw!"

Ji Bai casually made up a name. His five fingers formed a claw as a wisp of purple fire flashed forth, and he fiercely grabbed at Zhu Zhuqing.

Little Zhu?

Zhu Zhuqing was momentarily stunned by Ji Bai's sudden form of address, but she reacted in time and immediately dodged his attack.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"

Even Ji Bai's casual strike stirred the air into a hum. The heat carried by the flames made Zhu Zhuqing sweat all over, her cheeks flush, and her breathing involuntarily quicken. Her movements gradually became slower as well.

"Time's up!"

At that critical moment, Zhao Wuji hurriedly shouted, raising the fully burned-out incense stick high as he announced, "You have all passed the assessment!"

At his words,

Ji Bai stopped moving, somewhat surprised.

Wasn't one stick of incense far too short?

He looked at Zhu Zhuqing and noticed that the spot where he had previously struck her with his palm was now missing a piece of cloth, exposing the snow-white skin beneath.

Zhu Zhuqing noticed Ji Bai's gaze, lowered her head to look at her shoulder, pursed her lips, and said softly, "It's fine. Don't worry about it. Thank you for holding back."

Ji Bai held out a Gold Soul Coin. "Sorry. Take this and buy a new one."

"Thank you, but there's no need." Zhu Zhuqing shook her head gently, covered her shoulder, and turned to leave.

Ji Bai put the coin away. When he looked back, he found Xiao Wu still immersed in her own world. His sword-like brows rose slightly in surprise.

What's going on? She still hasn't woken up!

"Xiao Wu! Xiao Wu?"

"What's wrong with you?!"

"Don't scare me!!"

Tang San came to Xiao Wu's side and gently shook her shoulders, calling to her again and again. Yet Xiao Wu showed no reaction at all and continued grinning foolishly.

"Let me take a look."

Ji Bai stepped forward and waved a hand before Xiao Wu's face. He was about to strike her with spiritual power when, in the next moment, Xiao Wu suddenly regained consciousness. Light returned to her beautiful eyes.

"Are you all right?"

"Are you okay?"

Ji Bai frowned as he stared at Xiao Wu and asked.

"I'm fine, I'm fine!" Xiao Wu waved her hands repeatedly, then sighed. "I never expected my Charm to be completely useless against you. This is the first time it has ever failed. It never missed before!"

With one hand in his pocket, Ji Bai smiled calmly. "That's because you've never used this kind of soul skill against someone with stronger spiritual power. If Teacher Zhao had been the target of your Charm just now, you would probably have suffered spiritual backlash, bled from all seven orifices, and fallen unconscious."

"Just now, I used stronger spiritual power to reflect your Charm soul skill back at you, making you suffer the effects of your own soul skill."
