Shrek Seven Monsters (Part 2)

A vendor suddenly pushed a cart over and shouted from the roadside, "Don't miss it if you're passing by!"

Seeing someone selling sausages, Tang Wulin's eyes immediately lit up. "Brother Yuhao, I want some sausages."

Huo Yuhao gave a light cough and immediately explained to Tang Wulin why Oscar's sausages could not be eaten.

Tang Wulin raised his brows slightly upon hearing that. "Then forget it. I'm not that hungry yet."

Huo Yuhao took out a sandwich from his storage ring and handed it to Tang Wulin. "Eat this first to fill your stomach."

"I knew Brother Yuhao treated me the best."

Tang Wulin immediately beamed with joy, casually took the sandwich from Huo Yuhao's hand, and began wolfing it down.

Dai Mubai walked over with Zhu Zhuqing at this moment and said to Oscar, who was selling sausages:

"If you want to sell them, go outside the academy. Don't embarrass yourself here and poison your own people."

Xie Yue and Hu Liena immediately asked curiously, "What's wrong with his sausages?"

So Dai Mubai made the reluctant Oscar demonstrate the process of summoning and making his sausages. Seeing this, everyone's mouths twitched, and they all wore disgusted expressions.

Dai Mubai immediately changed the subject. "Students above level twenty-five can follow me now and proceed directly to the final fourth-round assessment."

Thus, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing followed Dai Mubai together. Huo Yuhao and Tang Wulin, who had been standing nearby, silently followed as well.

As Dai Mubai led the way, he introduced Shrek Academy's history and current situation to them. In the end, they arrived at the location for the fourth-round assessment.

After glancing at the folded fan in Huo Yuhao's hand, Zhao Wuji turned his gaze toward the people participating in the assessment.

"Interesting. Four little brats came this year. If you can last one incense stick's worth of time against me, you'll pass the final assessment."

Dai Mubai immediately argued with Zhao Wuji, but Zhao Wuji had already made up his mind.

Dai Mubai sighed. "I don't know what got into Teacher Zhao today. He actually wants to fight personally. Normally, you would only need to last one incense stick's worth of time against me for this round."

He said helplessly, "Quickly familiarize yourselves with each other's abilities and come up with a strategy. Teacher Zhao is a level seventy-six Soul Sage, known as the Immovable Bright King. He is famed for his strength and defense."

Ning Rongrong said in surprise, "The Immovable Bright King, who once fought more than a dozen Soul Emperor bishops of Spirit Hall alone, is actually hiding here?"

Xie Yue rolled his wrist and looked at his younger sister, Hu Liena. "Looks like we'll have to use that move?"

Hu Liena smiled faintly. "We can't beat Wulin, but the Immovable Bright King should at least stand there and let us hit him."

Dai Mubai suggested, "First introduce your martial souls and soul power levels to each other, then quickly discuss your countermeasures."

Zhu Zhuqing spoke first. "My name is Zhu Zhuqing. My beast martial soul is the Netherworld Spirit Cat. I'm a level twenty-seven agility-attack Battle Soul Master."

Ning Rongrong followed. "My name is Ning Rongrong. My tool martial soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda. I'm a level twenty-six support-type Tool Soul Master."

Hu Liena said in surprise, "So you're the talented little princess of the sect with the strongest support-type tool martial soul. A pleasure to meet you."

Ning Rongrong looked puzzled. "How did you know I was a little princess?"

Xie Yue smiled. "I could tell from the way you're dressed that you come from a wealthy household."

Hu Liena asked, "What type of attributes do your support soul skills enhance?"

Ning Rongrong answered, "I can increase everyone's speed and strength by about thirty percent."

Hu Liena clapped in praise. "As expected of the strongest support martial soul. That's amazing. My turn. My name is Hu Liena. My beast martial soul is the Demon Fox, and I'm a level fifty-six control-type Battle Soul King."

Xie Yue naturally continued, "My name is Xie Yue. My tool martial soul is the Moon Blade, and I'm a level fifty-six assault-type Battle Soul King."

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing both looked shocked upon hearing this.

Ning Rongrong's eyes were filled with disbelief. "Th-this is impossible! You two are already five-ringed Soul Kings at only twelve years old?"

Dai Mubai teased, "You're not merely monsters anymore. You're two monsters with cheats enabled."

Xie Yue said helplessly, "There are always stronger people out there. There are plenty of people stronger than us. Let's hurry and discuss how to deal with Teacher Zhao together."

Hu Liena suggested, "My brother and I can use a martial soul fusion skill. Before that, Zhu Zhuqing, please help us stall for time. Ning Rongrong, you can first apply both enhancements to Zhu Zhuqing."

Xie Yue looked at Ning Rongrong. "Support-type soul masters are usually the enemy's first targets. So stand behind Nana and me. We'll do our best to protect you."

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong both nodded.

Zhao Wuji looked at the four people standing in formation and smiled. "Looks like you're ready."

Seeing this, Dai Mubai immediately lit an incense stick on the ground and shouted to the five of them:

"The assessment begins!"

Sure enough, as soon as the battle began, Zhao Wuji attacked Ning Rongrong first. A pair of enormous phantom bear paws suddenly burst from beneath her feet.

Xie Yue immediately used his Moon Blades to slash apart the bear paws, then swiftly led Ning Rongrong away from where she stood.

Zhu Zhuqing closed in from the side and used Netherworld Thrust to attack Zhao Wuji.

However, Zhao Wuji stood as immovable as a mountain and was completely unharmed.

"Your speed is decent, but your power is lacking," Zhao Wuji sneered.

"Seven Treasures Have a Name: first, strength; second, speed!"

Ning Rongrong immediately enhanced Zhu Zhuqing. Zhu Zhuqing charged toward Zhao Wuji at even greater speed and used Netherworld Hundred Claws to pierce his body.

A smile curled at Zhao Wuji's lips. "Are you scratching an itch for me?"

Zhu Zhuqing immediately retreated to Ning Rongrong's side. At this moment, Hu Liena and Xie Yue had successfully completed their martial soul fusion skill—Demon Charm. Zhu Zhuqing's task of stalling had thus been successfully completed.

A humanoid figure clad in armor and wielding two crescent Moon Blades slowly walked forward. Red mist radiated from its body and coiled around it, affecting every aspect of Zhao Wuji's combat abilities.

Zhao Wuji was deeply trapped in the red mist. His vision grew increasingly blurred, while functions such as his bodily senses and defense rapidly declined. He had no idea where Demon Charm's true body was.

"Gravity Compression!"

Although Zhao Wuji did not know the target's exact location, his Gravity Compression could still cover the entire battlefield and unleash indiscriminate gravitational suppression.

Seeing this, Hu Liena and Xie Yue immediately unleashed their strongest killing move—Full Moon. By spinning their bodies and twin crescent Moon Blades at high speed, they formed a tornado of blades.

The Full Moon blade tornado continuously sliced Zhao Wuji's body. Even Zhao Wuji, a Soul Sage, was left in a sorry state, covered in wounds.

With their vision obscured by the red mist, the others had no idea what the battle inside was like.

"That's enough. Don't hurt Teacher Zhao."

Huo Yuhao brought down a Blizzard and used Ultimate Ice to freeze Zhao Wuji completely in ice, helping him weaken Demon Charm's Full Moon's continued assault.

Affected by Huo Yuhao's powerful spiritual power, Demon Charm broke apart on its own. Hu Liena and Xie Yue immediately felt a slight stabbing pain in their minds and had no choice but to stop attacking.

Huo Yuhao and Tang Wulin each supported Hu Liena and Xie Yue, barely helping them steady themselves. Before long, the dazed Hu Liena and Xie Yue regained consciousness.

Seeing that the two of them were unharmed, Huo Yuhao then released Zhao Wuji from his frozen state.

Zhao Wuji was shivering all over. "So cold..."
