Assessment

Yu Xiaofeng looked at Dai Mubai disdainfully. "What, your skin itching? If Little San and my little brother and sister hadn't held me back before, I'd have beaten you into a pig's head long ago."

"Don't mistake kindness for weakness. Damn it, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you until you question your life right now."

Dai Mubai still wanted to say something, but the elderly examiner said, "Mubai, I don't care what grudges you had before. He's now a member of Shrek Academy. From this moment on, all past grievances are wiped clean."

Dai Mubai was so frustrated that he wanted to attack immediately, but faced with the examiner's authority, he could only back down.

Everything Yu Xiaofeng did earned Zhu Zhuqing's admiration. In the little notebook in her heart, she had already given Yu Xiaofeng a perfect score.

As the group continued onward, Dai Mubai would occasionally glance at Ning Rongrong. Yu Xiaofeng smiled at Ning Rongrong. "Beauty, that blond guy keeps sneaking looks at you. I wonder if he wants to lure you into a hotel."

"Last time, I saw him take two women to a hotel to get a room. And even though he came later, he arrogantly snatched the room Little San, Xiao Wu, and I had booked. If I didn't have a few tricks up my sleeve, you probably wouldn't be seeing me right now."

Yu Xiaofeng's words stabbed Dai Mubai's heart full of holes, making his face flush red from holding back his anger.

Yu Xiaofeng suddenly stopped walking, and Dai Mubai stopped as well. At that moment, a vendor's cry from within the academy caught Xiao Wu's attention.

"Selling sausages..."

A middle-aged uncle shouted.

Xiao Wu's stomach growled twice. She said to Tang San, "Little San, go buy me two sausages."

Tang San nodded and walked toward the sausage cart.

After giving Yu Xiaofeng a look, Dai Mubai headed toward Shrek Academy's entrance.

Yu Xiaofeng glanced around, a mischievous smile curling his lips. In his eyes, a graceful black-clad cat girl was walking this way.

Looks like this is Zhu Zhuqing.

She's really huge. She looks even better than in the anime, and she's bigger than Nana too.

Yu Xiaofeng grumbled inwardly.

When Zhu Zhuqing reached Yu Xiaofeng, she happened to hear Oscar suddenly say, "I've got a big sausage."

Yu Xiaofeng froze as though struck by lightning. "Damn it, that's way too shocking."

A burst of noise came from within the academy. Following the sound, Yu Xiaofeng saw a group of children about his age shouting that they wanted to take the fourth test.

With his arms folded over his chest, Dai Mubai said to the children, "If you want to take the fourth test, your Soul Power must exceed level 25."

The crowd immediately erupted. One child shouted, "That's impossible! We're the same age as them. How could their Soul Power exceed level 25?"

Dai Mubai picked up the Soul Power testing orb and tossed it directly to Tang San. "Little San, give it a try."

Tang San caught the Soul Power testing crystal ball with one hand and instantly poured his Soul Power into it. The blue crystal ball shone brilliantly in the blink of an eye.

One stunned child cried out, "Level 29?"

"How is that possible?"

Tang San suddenly tossed the crystal ball to Yu Xiaofeng. "What's so impossible about it? Brother Feng is twelve. See for yourselves."

Everyone turned their gazes toward Yu Xiaofeng. He filled the crystal ball with Soul Power, and when the blue light burst into a dazzling radiance, everyone fell silent.

Their minds repeated in shock, "Level 39 Soul Elder."

The children all looked ashen, frozen in place as though struck by lightning. Even Dai Mubai finally understood the gap between himself and Yu Xiaofeng.

Ning Rongrong was overjoyed, while a crescent-like glimmer flashed through Zhu Zhuqing's cool eyes before vanishing.

After a moment, Dai Mubai said, "Do you believe me now?"

Everyone was still replaying the earlier scene in their minds and paid no attention to Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai led them toward the fourth test grounds. Along the way, they learned that Shrek Academy had only three students in total, and that to graduate, one had to reach level 41 Soul Ancestor before the age of twenty.

Anyone who could not meet that requirement should not go out and embarrass the old dean.

Yu Xiaofeng strolled along, looking around without listening to Dai Mubai. Instead, he was thinking about how to face Zhao Wuji later.

Just as he decided it would be best not to make a move, Dai Mubai suddenly said, "We're here."

"Teacher Zhao, I brought them."

Zhao Wuji had been sitting in a chair. Hearing Dai Mubai's words, he opened his eyes, and an imposing aura naturally rose from him, instantly kicking up a cloud of dust.

"I didn't expect so many people to remain in this year's assessment."

Zhao Wuji said in surprise.

Seeing Zhao Wuji walk toward them, Yu Xiaofeng instead walked over to a large rock behind them. Since he did not plan to make a move anyway, he might as well sit to the side and watch the show.

After gesturing and explaining for quite a while, Zhao Wuji finally gave them the terms: if they could withstand his attacks for the time it took a stick of incense to burn, they would pass the assessment.

Even if only one person remained standing, it would count as the whole group passing.

After discussing it, the group finally made a decision. But just as they had reached it, Dai Mubai's words left them rooted to the spot in shock.

Dai Mubai glanced at Yu Xiaofeng before saying to the others, "Teacher Zhao is a Soul Saint. Be careful."

Xiao Wu looked at Yu Xiaofeng pitifully. "Brother Feng, you won't just watch me get beaten up later, right?"

Xiao Wu's words drew the attention of the other two girls, and they both looked toward Yu Xiaofeng. Tang San smiled bitterly. "Brother Feng, you'd better not make a move. Otherwise, I don't know whether we can bear the consequences."

Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Dai Mubai all looked at Tang San suspiciously. Dai Mubai suddenly asked, "Tang San, you and Xiao Wu were unwilling to let him fight before. Why?"

"Even if I can't beat him, can't Teacher Zhao beat him?"

Tang San smiled bitterly without saying a word. Xiao Wu said helplessly, "Forget it. If Little San and I are really in trouble later, make sure this Teacher Zhao won't get away with it."

Carrying this question in their minds, the group immediately engaged Zhao Wuji in battle. Yu Xiaofeng activated his Rebirth Eye and said to Tang San, "Little San, focus on dodging. Constantly attacking is useless. He's just a bear."

"What a pity. If you had honey on you, that would be great. Back where I'm from, Bramble loves honey the most. Even Briar can't escape his burning passion for honey."

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone burst into pig-like laughter.

Zhao Wuji was furious and began punching and kicking at everyone. At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing leaped into the air, lifted a small house, and smashed it directly at Zhao Wuji.

With a loud bang, Yu Xiaofeng shook his head. "Little San, I think I'd better make a move after all. That cat girl is even better at tearing down houses than I am."

Zhu Zhuqing rolled her eyes at Yu Xiaofeng. Xiao Wu quickly said, "Brother Feng, you should rest. We can handle this."

Yu Xiaofeng said, "You really don't need me to step in? I definitely won't use Almighty Push this time. How about I use my second soul skill, Planetary Devastation?"
