Everyone stared at the person walking over, stunned.
Zhao Wuji scratched his head. Someone had actually made it to the fourth trial?
Was the academy finally getting its act together?
Five Little Monsters had shown up in a single day. That was truly rare.
Since someone had reached the fourth trial, he naturally had to put him to the test.
"Kid, last half an incense stick under my hand. If you can hold out, you pass."
Zhao Wuji laughed heartily. "You four wait here. Once we're done, I'll take you to the dorms."
"Okay, Teacher Zhao!"
Lin Ye nodded, and the three girls were all happy to wait.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were especially curious about why this person had been called a Little Scumbag by Lin Ye.
"This guy actually followed us here. Disgusting."
Xiao Wu muttered. Zhu Zhuqing heard her and quietly asked, "You know him?"
"Yeah, we used to go to Notting Academy together, but this guy..."
They said three women made a show, and these three girls were no different.
The three gathered together, and Xiao Wu chattered away about some things that had happened in Nuoding City.
She even analyzed Tang San's thoughts from every angle.
Of course, she'd heard all of it through Lin Ye's inner voice.
And what she'd seen with her own eyes had confirmed how accurate that inner voice was.
It wasn't that she just wanted to complain about him. This guy really was disgusting.
He always thought he was better than everyone else.
Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power were certainly impressive. They were rare even on the Douluo Continent.
But looking down on everyone else because of that? That was going too far, wasn't it?
"This guy even looks down on Lin Ye."
"What? He looks down on Lin Ye? Is he a Soul Emperor or a Soul Saint?"
Ning Rongrong was shocked.
They'd all seen Lin Ye's cultivation.
It was absolutely formidable!
He'd even pinned a Soul Saint of Zhao Wuji's caliber down and beaten him.
And Tang San still looked down on him?
Could he be another super monster?
Xiao Wu rolled her eyes. "No way. He's just a twenty-ninth-level Soul Grandmaster."
"Twenty-ninth level? Then... then why does he look down on Lin Ye?"
She really couldn't understand.
How could a mere twenty-ninth-level Soul Grandmaster have the nerve to look down on a sixty-fifth-level Soul Emperor?
There had to be something going on.
"Because Lin Ye played the pig to eat the tiger, and his cultivation was exposed in Nuoding City."
"When his Martial Soul Awakening was tested, the Soul Master who helped him awaken it made a mistake. He didn't realize Lin Ye's Martial Soul was powerful, and he didn't accurately measure Lin Ye's Innate Soul Power."
"Lin Ye had Innate Full Soul Power at level twenty!"
"Though Tang San provoked Lin Ye again and again, Lin Ye just wouldn't fight back. He's way too good at keeping a low profile."
Xiao Wu still felt a little resentful about it.
She knew some of Lin Ye's thoughts.
He just liked watching the show and being a bystander.
He didn't want to get involved in things too much.
But Tang San had provoked him so many times, and even challenged him, yet he still wouldn't fight back.
If he'd fought, Tang San would've learned his place long ago.
"Lin Ye really is something... But why did he reveal his cultivation this time?"
Ning Rongrong was curious.
If he liked playing the pig to eat the tiger, why had he revealed his cultivation and Soul Ring Configuration as soon as he arrived at Shrek Academy?
Shouldn't he have kept lying low?
"Maybe he thinks he can protect himself now, and he also wanted to show off a little."
Xiao Wu had hit the nail on the head!
The two girls nodded repeatedly.
Judging from Lin Ye's inner voice, he was a fake goody-goody.
He looked upright and righteous on the outside, but his inner commentary pulled no punches.
Tang San was very happy right now, extremely happy.
He'd thought that once they graduated, he'd never have the chance to see Xiao Wu again.
He never would've imagined that both Lin Ye and Xiao Wu would come to Shrek Academy.
Fate! What incredible fate!
It had to be that Heaven had heard his heartfelt wish and sent him this wonderful surprise.
But why had Lin Ye come to Shrek Academy too?
That was the only thing keeping this from being perfect.
For six years, Lin Ye had stayed by Xiao Wu's side, and it had made him feel so frustrated.
Now that he was at Shrek Academy, he had to find a chance to take Xiao Wu for himself.
He was all grown up now. He had plenty of ways to do it.
As someone who'd transmigrated, he refused to believe he couldn't handle a little girl.
If Lin Ye knew what he was thinking, he'd have to crack open Tang San's skull and see what was inside.
Or maybe ask if something had gone wrong with his Purple Demon Eye cultivation and left him with purple cataracts.
Xiao Wu was obviously the one who'd always stuck to him!
"Kid, hurry up and start. Why are you looking at the girls? Ning Rongrong, give him support."
Zhao Wuji noticed Tang San's gaze and immediately frowned.
This kid was quite the lecher, wasn't he?
He couldn't take his eyes off a girl!
Tang San snapped back to attention and hurriedly said, "Teacher, my name is Tang San. Please."
As soon as he finished speaking, he summoned Blue Silver Grass, and two Soul Rings appeared alongside it.
The optimal Soul Ring Configuration!
Zhao Wuji nodded. There was nothing wrong with his Soul Ring Configuration.
Now they'd see how he did in a real fight.
Tang San launched his attack at once.
He didn't want to waste too much time. He still wanted to find a chance to talk to Xiao Wu.
The man before him was an examiner at Shrek Academy. His cultivation should be decent, at least a little stronger than the teachers at Notting Academy, right?
At Notting Academy, there weren't any teachers who could beat him anymore.
Even though he was only at level twenty-nine, he could defeat opponents in their thirties with methods like Hidden Weapons.
So he was extremely confident.
But to his surprise, the moment he rushed up to Zhao Wuji—
A tremendous force came from all directions, as if it were about to fling his body away.
Before he could be thrown back, his body suddenly grew incredibly heavy, and he crashed to the ground.
Even with techniques like Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, he couldn't withstand it.
Zhao Wuji reached out, grabbed Tang San by the ankle, and flung him into the air.
Just then, Ning Rongrong's support arrived.
"Seven Treasures Famous, First: Strength!"
"Seven Treasures Famous, Second: Speed!"
Two streaks of colorful light shot out from the dazzling Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, then...
Then they entered Zhao Wuji's body.
"Great Vajra Palm!"
He decisively unleashed a Soul Skill.
With one palm, Tang San was sent flying. He couldn't get back up for a long time.
Tang San's head was buzzing. What level was Teacher Zhao, exactly?
He could... he could actually defeat him in a single blow?
Was the test at Shrek Academy really this terrifying?
So many questions flooded his mind.
He tried to get up, but he barely had any strength left.
It felt as if his chest had been smashed in, and blood had already seeped from the corner of his mouth.
Zhao Wuji was stunned too.
Wait, was this kid really that fragile?
No, no. It seemed Lin Ye had just left him a little on edge.
He'd instinctively assumed this kid was a monster too, so he'd used his Soul Skill without thinking.
Well, now he'd made an examinee cough up blood. That was a little awkward.
No, wait. There was a problem.
"Ning Rongrong, didn't I tell you to give him support? Why did you—"
Zhao Wuji turned to her with a fierce look.
Since Tang San was alone, he'd told Ning Rongrong to boost him.
So why had she boosted Zhao Wuji instead?
He was already incredibly strong. With Ning Rongrong's support, Tang San was lucky that palm hadn't killed him.
Ning Rongrong stuck out her tongue and said sheepishly, "Sorry, Teacher Zhao. I got excited and mixed it up."
