Lu Bu Rides Dian Wei Once Again Today!

Flender forced an awkward smile, cursing the reckless Zhao Wuji bloody in his heart.

Qian Ni didn't interrupt the assessment.

Tang San's group of four was quickly defeated. Then Tang San flew into a rage for his beloved, using every trick he had to catch Zhao Wuji off guard—only to be slapped away.

Tang San and Xiao Wu collapsed and fell asleep. Zhu Zhuqing lay motionless at the edge of the field. Only Ning Rongrong, being an auxiliary Soul Master and the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, had escaped Zhao Wuji's heavy hand. Aside from some Soul Power depletion, she was largely fine.

Zhao Wuji was still grumbling when Flender approached with Qian Ni, smiling.

The moment he saw Flender, he guiltily shrank his head back.

Thinking Qian Ni was also a student enrolling this year, he hurriedly signaled Dai Mubai with his eyes.

Who knew Flender would pull a stern face and berate him.

"Old Zhao! What's going on? You're a grown man, yet you still don't know your own strength.

"You personally stepping in for the assessment was one thing, but you even hit them so hard!"

Then humble little Flender came online again, forcing out a smile as he looked at Qian Ni.

"Little friend Qian Ni, this is our academy's vice principal, Zhao Wuji. He saw these little monsters and couldn't resist testing them a little.

"What's a Soul Master if they don't get hurt? We also have a food-type Soul Master, so logistics support is absolutely not a problem."

Zhao Wuji didn't know who Qian Ni was, but he was clearly not an ordinary incoming student. He knew Flender's temperament; even when Dai Mubai had enrolled, Flender had worn a sour face.

Something was fishy here!

Cotton pants under leather pants—there had to be a reason!

Qian Ni didn't mind. Smiling brightly, he walked over to Zhu Zhuqing, tilted his head, and greeted her.

"Little Zhu, rested already?

"Didn't I say to wait for me at the hotel? Why did you come out? Did you check out of the room?"

His face was beautiful beyond reason, yet Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but shudder when she looked at him.

The Ninety-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber he had dug out of her throat was still tucked into her clothes.

Its medicinal effect was too potent, so she hadn't had the heart to throw it away.

Beside them, Dai Mubai wore a complicated expression.

He had already recognized Zhu Zhuqing. She was clearly his fiancée!

But what had he seen yesterday? His fiancée from Star Luo City entering and leaving a couples' hotel with an unknown silver-haired youth!

He had even given up the room himself!

What could possibly be more suffocating than that?

Dai Mubai had left Star Luo years ago and traveled far to Heaven Dou.

Back then, Zhu Zhuqing hadn't even turned ten. For the past two years, he had been caring for twin sisters in Suotuo City, immersing himself in the Double-Slit Interference Experiment. Coupled with the astigmatism caused by his naturally double pupils—

He genuinely hadn't recognized Zhu Zhuqing yesterday.

Now, the bitterness and sourness in his heart were harder to endure than Bitter Essence mixed with Green Plum Essence.

As the third prince of the Star Luo Empire, was this tiger about to get cuckolded by a bull?

"Get up. Why are you still lying there? The ground's cold. Didn't you soak in enough cold water last night?"

Qian Ni raised his brows. Without saying a word, Zhu Zhuqing immediately stood up.

The minor injuries Zhao Wuji had caused were nothing compared to her fear of Qian Ni.

Seeing his fiancée not even glance at him before obediently standing behind Qian Ni, Dai Mubai felt as though his entire world had been shrouded in green light.

"Headmaster, who is this?"

Zhao Wuji asked in confusion.

Flender coughed twice and said, "Come, let me introduce him.

"This is our academy's new investor. From now on, the academy's food and facilities will be upgraded.

"Furthermore, starting today, Shrek Academy students will be able to purchase a certain number of Whale Glue Pellets from Spirit Hall every week at discounted prices!

"I believe everyone already knows what this stuff does, so I won't say more."

He looked at Qian Ni. Though he was curious about Qian Ni's relationship with Zhu Zhuqing, he didn't ask further.

"Little friend Qian Ni, since it's such a coincidence and you've happened to encounter new students enrolling, would you like to experience Shrek Academy's entrance assessment?

"Mubai will be the examiner. He's a few years older than you and has the strength of a Soul Elder.

"It'll also be a good chance to show off Shrek's style. Your investment will definitely be worth it!"

As Flender spoke, he gave Dai Mubai a meaningful look.

He had rejected funding from the Balak Kingdom, but he hadn't refused Qian Ni.

His pair of crafty little eyes were full of desire for free money.

This was also the perfect opportunity to see Qian Ni's Martial Soul.

On Douluo Continent, Martial Souls were symbols of bloodlines. The Clear Sky Hammer of the Clear Sky Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect...

Many times, one could tell a person's origins just by looking at their Martial Soul.

Qian Ni was interested as well, but he had no intention of bullying Dai Mubai. Instead, he set his sights on the bruised and battered Zhao Wuji.

At this moment, after eating Oscar's Big Sausage and Small Sausage, Zhao Wuji had recovered quite a bit.

"Forget the Soul Elder. How about Teacher Zhao comes down and plays with me again?

"Immovable Bright King—quite the imposing title."

Zhao Wuji hadn't expected that, aside from Tang San, there would be another stubborn brat.

He looked Qian Ni up and down, his gaze lingering for a moment on that inhumanly perfect face. Impatience rose in his heart.

I'm a Soul Sage, for crying out loud. Why don't these little brats take me seriously?

Who knows what Old Flender is plotting, having me fight this silver-haired brat?

Looks like I'll have to humor a child. Better end this quickly.

Zhao Wuji didn't say anything. He simply walked to the center of the field.

Seeing this, Flender didn't stop him. Instead—

"Haha, since that's the case, how about this?

"Ning Rongrong has the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul. She can assist you."

Flender looked at the green-clad girl beside him and said.

"Ning Rongrong, consider this your first practical lesson after enrolling. Begin."

What was Flender thinking?

Ning Rongrong was the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Her status in Heaven Dou placed her among the very top.

There was no one more suitable to use in testing Qian Ni.

"Ah? Me?"

Ning Rongrong hadn't expected this to involve her. She remembered Qian Ni.

They had met briefly before entering the city yesterday.

This guy had ridden Zhu Zhuqing right past her. He was handsome, but not very proper.

After her gaze lingered on Qian Ni's face for a moment, Ning Rongrong's pretty face flushed, and she immediately forgot how to refuse.

The field was littered with the various hidden weapons Tang San had fired.

Under the sunlight, they gleamed blue and green, clearly all coated in poison.

Qian Ni and Ning Rongrong stood one behind the other. Ning Rongrong summoned the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda again and took the initiative to say,

"I currently only have two Soul Rings. I can enhance speed and strength. Qian Ni, you..."

Who would have thought Qian Ni had no intention of playing by the rules? He waved a hand and said,

"There's no need! I watched your assessment process.

"The first half was too normal. Not monstrous at all!

"The second half, Tang San was somewhat interesting, but only somewhat."

Qian Ni began pointing things out.

"Four people ganging up on a Soul Sage who had to hold himself back, yet you couldn't even last one incense stick. You were way too weak!

"You weren't ruthless enough toward yourselves! And you didn't fully use your strengths. Next, watch how I do it!"

Soul Power surged from Qian Ni. A cyan half-wing patterned with gold unfurled from his back!

He had merely undergone Martial Soul Possession! He hadn't revealed any Soul Rings!

"Technique disclosure! My Martial Soul is the Twin-Winged Bird, a support-type Martial Soul with no offensive power whatsoever. Its ability is to attach Soul Power to female Soul Masters.

"You can use Soul Tools in this assessment, right? Excellent!

"Next, I'll show you how to maximize your own advantages when facing a Soul Sage who has to hold himself back!"

Qian Ni laughed loudly and retreated behind Ning Rongrong. A golden bridle appeared in his hand.

When Ning Rongrong heard "Twin-Winged Bird," her face had already filled with astonishment. Now, an even worse premonition rose in her heart.

"What are you going to do?"

Qian Ni said nothing. With a flick of the Rider's Bridle, it landed on Ning Rongrong. He grabbed it, refined it instantly, and fitted her with a Bei Bei Jia.

New mount, acquired!

"What are you afraid of? You're the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Would Zhao Wuji dare hurt you?

"Accept my Soul Power infusion! Entwined Branches! Ride!"

Qian Ni leaped forward, mounted Ning Rongrong's back, and pointed at Zhao Wuji.

"Ram him to death for me!"

Outside the field, Flender, Dai Mubai, and Zhu Zhuqing watched in horror as Ning Rongrong screamed, transformed into an afterimage, and charged at Zhao Wuji at extreme speed, headfirst.

"Fuck!"
