Appearance
Zhao Wuji initially appears to be an unremarkable middle-aged man in his fifties, often seated casually or dozing before abruptly displaying overwhelming pressure. 24
- In his Vajra Gigantic Bear transformation, he grows by more than a meter, develops thick brown fur, and gains brown-yellow beast eyes. 26
- He possesses seven Soul Rings: two yellow, two purple, and three black. 26
- Before the Star Dou Great Forest expedition, he has a bruised face and black eye from a recent encounter with Tang Hao. 36
Personality
Zhao Wuji presents his entrance examination in an almost amiable manner, but its conditions are deliberately severe: applicants must survive his attacks for an incense stick’s duration, and he dismisses the idea that any individual could endure a direct punch. 24
He is a perceptive and demanding combat instructor. During the trial, he immediately identifies Ning Rongrong as the team’s support core and An Chen as the battlefield controller; when Dai Mubai objects to the escalating danger, Zhao Wuji replies that the examination ground contains “only examinees.” 25 26
Despite his harsh methods, he respects ingenuity and determination. He acknowledges the examinees’ coordination, allows Tang San and An Chen to continue after the initial failure, and accepts their admission after they force him to employ multiple Soul Skills. 26 27 28
Abilities & Skills
Vajra Gigantic Bear Martial Soul
Zhao Wuji’s Vajra Gigantic Bear grants exceptional physical power, durability, and close-combat dominance. Dai Mubai describes his strength and defense as terrifying even among Soul Masters of the same rank. 25
- His ordinary strikes can create craters, scatter multiple opponents, and send Dai Mubai into a wall. 26
- His transformed state withstands coordinated attacks from five Great Soul Masters with little visible harm. 26
- He can capture and subdue a millennium Cockscomb Phoenix Snake through overwhelming force. 40
Immovable Wisdom King Body
Zhao Wuji’s first Soul Skill forms a golden defensive barrier around his body and releases a powerful shockwave. 26 27
- Repels Tang San’s hidden weapons and breaks Blue Silver Grass within close range. 26 27
- Blasts Zhu Zhuqing unconscious and dislocates both of her arms; also injures Xiao Wu and throws An Chen into a tree. 26
- Its soul-power circulation briefly exposes small gaps while the barrier forms; An Chen identifies these openings for Tang San to exploit. 27 28
Gravity-Based Soul Skills
Zhao Wuji uses gravity manipulation to restrict opponents and control the battlefield.
- Gravity Enhancement — Greatly increases the weight of Tang San and An Chen, slowing their movement while leaving Zhao Wuji unaffected. 27
- Gravity Squeeze — Pulls targets toward Zhao Wuji with crushing force from every direction. 28
- Gravity Crush — Helps immobilize the Cockscomb Phoenix Snake during its capture. 40
Locational Tracking
Zhao Wuji can alter his trajectory in midair to continue pursuing a target, preventing Tang San from escaping by movement alone. 28
Combat Judgment
Zhao Wuji combines overwhelming force with rapid threat assessment.
- Prioritizes Ning Rongrong after recognizing her as the team’s support center. 25
- Shifts his focus to An Chen after recognizing Black Fog and Shadow Mark as disruptive control tools. 25
- Recognizes that Tang San and An Chen’s cooperation has met Shrek’s standards after they force him to use four Soul Rings. 27
Story Role
Fourth Trial Examiner
Zhao Wuji personally administers Shrek Academy’s fourth entrance trial, requiring Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and An Chen to survive his attacks as a group. 24
He initially overwhelms the applicants, defeating or injuring most of them after activating his Martial Soul avatar. Tang San and An Chen then continue the test together, using An Chen’s analysis of Zhao Wuji’s soul-power circulation to guide Tang San’s attacks. 26 27
Their combined assault damages and poisons Zhao Wuji, while An Chen uses Shadow Mark and his Iron Pot to open flaws in the Immovable Wisdom King Body. Once the incense burns out, Zhao Wuji passes them and orders them to report to the academy playground. 28
Shrek Instructor
After the examination, Zhao Wuji confirms the five applicants’ admission and directs Dai Mubai to settle them into their dormitories. 29
He later ends the Shrek students’ fight with Ye Zhiqiu, dismisses Canghui Academy as “trash,” and defeats Ye with a single palm strike without releasing his Martial Soul. He then criticizes the Shrek group for failing to coordinate fully, particularly Ning Rongrong’s decision not to provide support. 38
Star Dou Great Forest Expedition Leader
Zhao Wuji leads the students into the Star Dou Great Forest so Oscar can acquire his third Soul Ring. He imposes strict formation and safety rules, keeping the support Soul Masters close and forbidding unauthorized attacks on Soul Beasts. 36 39
He secures the Cockscomb Phoenix Snake for Oscar, negotiates its ownership dispute with Chao Tianxiang, and accepts Tang San’s volunteer duel with Meng Yiran after An Chen is too drained to fight. 40
When the Titan Giant Ape appears, Zhao Wuji attempts to protect the students and later guards Tang San during his dangerous Soul Ring absorption. After the group fails to find a suitable Shadow-attribute Soul Beast for An Chen, he promises to assist with a future hunt. 41
Relationships
- An Chen — Examinee and later student. Zhao Wuji recognizes An Chen’s battlefield-control role, is repeatedly disrupted by his Shadow Mark, and takes responsibility for helping him seek a third Soul Ring. 25 28 41
- Tang San — Examinee and student whose hidden weapons injure Zhao Wuji during the fourth trial. Zhao Wuji ultimately acknowledges Tang San’s ability and permits his enrollment. 27 28
- Dai Mubai — Senior Shrek student. Dai Mubai warns the applicants about Zhao Wuji’s strength and later tries unsuccessfully to stop the harsh examination. 25 26
- Oscar — Student whose third Soul Ring expedition Zhao Wuji leads. Zhao Wuji captures the Cockscomb Phoenix Snake and instructs Oscar to kill it for absorption. 36 40
- Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing — Examinees under Zhao Wuji’s fourth trial; all are injured or pressured during the test, but he ultimately confirms their admission. 26 29
- Chao Tianxiang — Opposes Zhao Wuji’s group over the Cockscomb Phoenix Snake. Zhao Wuji settles the claim under Soul Master rules rather than fighting her directly. 40
- Ye Zhiqiu — Canghui Academy’s external-affairs director. Zhao Wuji ends Ye’s confrontation with the Shrek students by defeating him effortlessly. 38
Trivia
- An Chen’s Spirit Vision reacts to Zhao Wuji’s Ether Body with the sensation of an immense creature roaring or turning beneath the earth. 24
- Zhao Wuji consumes Oscar’s sausages to recover from Tang San’s hidden weapons and Datura Snake venom, despite initially being mistaken for an outsider because of his swollen, bloodied face. 29
