Assessment Discussion (Seeking Five-Star Reviews~)

"There's actually another one?" Zhao Wuji was genuinely surprised this time. Were the students in this batch really that top-tier?

It was already impressive enough that four had arrived all at once, but for another one to show up right at the end—could it be that he'd hit the jackpot today?

"Aren't you that lecherous tiger from yesterday?" Once the person approached, Xiao Wu pointed at him in surprise.

She hadn't expected this lecherous tiger to be a student at this academy as well; what a coincidence.

Hearing this, Dai Mubai said speechlessly, "Can you stop calling me a lecherous tiger? I have a name, call me Dai Mubai, you jerk!"

"Blehh~" Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue.

Seeing that they were about to start arguing, Zhao Wuji, unable to watch any longer, interrupted, "Alright, Little Bai, since you've brought the person over, go stand to the side. Don't disturb my test."

"This... alright then."

Since the teacher had spoken, Dai Mubai, despite wanting to say more, had no choice but to shut his mouth and obediently stand to the side to watch the battle.

Meanwhile, Zhao Wuji crossed his arms and looked at the new pink-haired girl.

"I've already explained the rules to the others; just have them fill you in."

"Okay." The girl in the plain dress nodded obediently.

She then walked briskly over to Du Hao's side and waved, introducing herself in a light, cheerful voice.

"Hello everyone, my name is Ning Rongrong. I am a level 27 Soul Grand Master, and my martial soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Please take care of me."

Facing the little witch who hadn't yet revealed her true nature, Du Hao nodded with interest.

Following that, everyone introduced themselves to one another.

"You are all level 29 Soul Grand Masters!" After understanding the situation, Ning Rongrong looked at the group in astonishment.

"Is there something strange about that?" Xiao Wu looked as if it were a matter of course, as if being level 29 were perfectly normal.

Even Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing felt the same.

Among the four present, only Du Hao knew very well that their cultivation speed was anything but normal.

Over the years, they had frequently used "Soul Power Manipulation: From 'Entry' to 'Burial'" for intensive, forced-learning sessions.

This had led their control over soul power to reach an unfathomable level, which in turn caused their cultivation speed to become abnormally fast.

And that was even with the premise that they were purifying their soul power year-round.

"What kind of monsters are you all?" Feeling a sudden sense of frustration, Ning Rongrong began to retreat into her own shell.

She was a genius of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, born with innate level nine soul power, yet her strength hadn't increased nearly that quickly.

And compared to these people in front of her?

Once the two sides were compared, she felt like a total amateur...

"Alright, since you weren't here earlier, let me explain the rules to you again." Fearing that Ning Rongrong had been hit too hard, Du Hao quickly stepped forward to change the subject.

He couldn't keep crushing this little witch, or it wouldn't be fun once she suddenly revealed her true colors.

If the little witch asked how they cultivated later, how was he, the culprit, supposed to explain it?

Could he just say they were cheating?

Seeing that enough time had passed, Zhao Wuji shouted to the group, "Hey, you brats, are you done chatting yet?"

"Not yet, Teacher Zhao, let us discuss a bit more." Du Hao called back.

"Are you ever going to finish? Hurry up, I'm waiting to eat." Zhao Wuji urged, sounding a bit impatient.

"Right away, right away!" The group continued to give perfunctory replies.

"Sigh, Little Bai, go urge them along."

"Ah, can I not go?" Dai Mubai looked reluctant, his face full of unwillingness.

Zhao Wuji didn't speak, merely raising his fist in silence.

"Fine, fine, I'll go, I'll go." Dai Mubai waved his hands hurriedly and then darted off.

As he walked, he muttered to himself, "Every single day, all he knows is how to threaten me with his fists. Joining this Judgment Society was a total waste; the world has truly gone dark."

Over there, they were still chattering away about tactics.

Suddenly, the sharp-eyed Xiao Wu saw Dai Mubai walking toward them and immediately stepped out.

"Hey! Lecherous tiger, what are you coming over here for?"

Caught, Dai Mubai wasn't annoyed; he just shrugged and said frankly, "Teacher Zhao saw that you hadn't come up with a plan after so long, so he sent me to hurry you up. Have you finished discussing?"

"We don't even have a shred of information about Teacher Zhao, so we can only study him slowly." Tang San shrugged, speaking about it indifferently.

"Ah, is that all?" After understanding the situation, Dai Mubai was enlightened; so that was all it was.

He thought it was some difficult problem.

"Since you don't know, I'll tell you about him. Consider it an apology for my rudeness yesterday."

Immediately, Dai Mubai began to introduce some information about Zhao Wuji to the group.

"Our Teacher Zhao's martial soul is the Vajra Bear. It is a rather powerful type among beast martial souls, and its characteristic is that his entire body is almost completely without flaws."

"Among them, Teacher Zhao's greatest pride is his defensive power, though his offensive power should not be underestimated either. His only drawback is his relatively slow speed."

Having said this, Dai Mubai shook his head and continued, "However, it is a pity that Teacher Zhao is invincible in defense among those of his same rank; you all might not be able to break his defense at all."

In truth, what Dai Mubai wanted to add was that a Soul Saint beating a Soul Grand Master was like a grandfather bullying his grandson; whether or not they had this information made absolutely no difference.

Either way, a beating was unavoidable.

He had come through the same experience back then, and presumably, these people would not be able to escape it either...

"Vajra Bear? Could he be the Zhao Wuji from back then? The Immovable Wisdom King?" Ning Rongrong suddenly spoke up at this moment.

"That's right, that is our Teacher Zhao," Dai Mubai said candidly.

"This is troublesome," Ning Rongrong said, frowning. "I heard my father say that ten years ago, when Zhao Wuji was still a Soul Emperor, he managed to escape from the hands of sixteen bishops of the Martial Soul Hall."

"Now that he is a Soul Saint, his strength must be even more terrifying!"

Upon hearing this, everyone except Du Hao, who already knew the situation, gasped in amazement.

After all, taking on sixteen people at once—the Zhao Wuji of that time was indeed formidable; most people would never be able to pull off such a feat.

"It's fine. With the experience we've accumulated over these years, we should still be able to hold out for a while."

"Besides, don't we still have Brother Hao?" As she spoke, Xiao Wu puffed out her small chest, appearing incredibly confident in Du Hao's strength.

Even Tang San nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, with Brother Hao here, we should be able to hold out for the duration of one incense stick."

"Is he really as amazing as you all say?" Seeing that even the usually aloof Zhu Zhuqing nodded in agreement, Ning Rongrong asked with some suspicion.

"Of course he—" Just as Xiao Wu was preparing to sing Du Hao's praises, Du Hao directly used his Demon Suppressing Hand to press down on her rabbit head. "Alright, that's enough."

"It's getting late. Since we've finished understanding the situation, let's discuss our tactics."

"Ning Rongrong, you provide support from the back; Tang San, you focus on control and harassment; Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu, you assist me..."
