Sword Arrives, Filth Recedes; Pure Night Shatters Delusion

"Future junior sister patroller, do you have a fever?"

"Who did you say was coming to settle scores with us? That sickly tiger? Hahaha, was that supposed to be a joke?"

Hearing that, Ning Rongrong washed her face with cold stream water and felt Zhu Zhuqing's forehead.

"No fever either."

Zhu Zhuqing did not know whether to laugh or cry at Ning Rongrong's reaction.

"I'm not joking with you. Dai Mubai is a student of Shrek Academy, and Zhao Wuji is Shrek Academy's vice dean. He's a seven-ring Soul Saint with a violent temper, and he's extremely protective of his own."

"You beat up a Shrek student, and he refused to let it go. He's leading people to Immortal Mountain to cause trouble."

"Don't be afraid. We at Immortal Mountain don't cause trouble, but we aren't afraid of it either."

Ning Rongrong wiped the sweat from her forehead, showing no sign of panic.

"Still, thank you for coming all this way to warn us. I approve of you. Cultivate well, and this senior sister will wait for you to become a junior sister patroller."

Ning Rongrong patted Zhu Zhuqing on the shoulder, putting on the airs of a senior sister.

Zhu Zhuqing's brows furrowed slightly. "Really... there won't be a problem?"

She was amazed that an auxiliary-system Soul Master like Ning Rongrong had managed to defeat Dai Mubai, and she greatly admired Immortal's bearing.

But... Immortal did indeed look very young, not like an expert whose Soul Power had reached level seventy or eighty.

"Of course there won't be a problem. You're underestimating Ning Rongrong's judgment, and you're underestimating Immortal Mountain too, aren't you?"

Ning Rongrong pulled Zhu Zhuqing over to sit on the Stone Guardian at the foot of the mountain and said proudly,

"Just sit here and watch. If they really dare cause trouble, you'll see who ends up unlucky."

This Zhu Zhuqing actually dared to look down on Teacher!

Teacher might look young, but she had seen Teacher's elegance before. Teacher had given her the feeling of being incredibly powerful.

In the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, aside from Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa, probably no Soul Master possessed a more powerful presence than Teacher Immortal.

"So this is Immortal Mountain?"

"It's fucking beautiful."

"The environment is much better than our Shrek Academy."

Looking at Immortal Mountain's beautiful scenery, Zhao Wuji sighed with emotion.

Tang San, standing at the back of the crowd, nodded as well as he looked at the immortal mist winding around Immortal Mountain.

"It truly is a land blessed by nature. Given time, it will surely become a treasured land."

According to the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, any land blessed by nature either sat atop a spiritual vein or was nourished by some other heavenly treasure.

"But what a pity. Such beautiful scenery will soon be destroyed."

Zhao Wuji crossed his arms, pushed past the others, and walked to the front. Looking at Immortal Mountain's Detection Platform, he showed a hint of confusion.

"What is that?"

"Teacher Zhao, that's Immortal Mountain's apprentice recruitment Detection Platform. They say it can detect a Soul Master's talent, potential, character, and such. Only by detecting three top-tier Trait Entries can one meet the Apprenticeship Standard," Ma Hongjun answered.

Zhao Wuji turned back to look at them.

"You and Mubai have both been tested?"

Ma Hongjun scratched his head.

"We did a little testing. We almost passed."

"Almost? Didn't you say you had nine top-tier Trait Entries?" Dai Mubai glared fiercely at Ma Hongjun.

"How can you blame me? If I dared to say it, why did you dare to believe it?" Ma Hongjun muttered.

"I'll settle the score with you when we get back."

Dai Mubai was so angered by Ma Hongjun that his kidneys hurt.

If you hadn't said even you had nine Trait Entries while I had a whole pile of white Trait Entries, would I have gotten that angry?

"It can detect a Soul Master's potential?"

"Boss Dai and Fatty's talents aren't low. Neither of you could meet Immortal Mountain's Apprenticeship Standard?"

Tang San was surprised.

"Third Brother, should we get tested too? It seems pretty interesting."

Xiao Wu was extremely curious about such a novel thing.

"This..."

"No. I've already acknowledged Grandmaster as my teacher, so there's no point in testing my aptitude."

Tang San hesitated before saying, "Xiao Wu, if you're interested, you can give it a try."

"Try what? You brats can't even see through such a simple scam?

At Shrek, we only check students' bone age and test their Soul Power. Yet Immortal Mountain claims it can detect a Soul Master's potential with just a few lousy stones? And it charges ten Gold Soul Coins too, even more outrageous than Shrek. Who knows how much money they've scammed people out of? No wonder they could buy an entire mountain."

Zhao Wuji stepped forward, looking aggressively imposing.

Then he pulled ten Gold Soul Coins from his crotch and stuffed them into the Detection Platform's activation slot.

[Ding, coin insertion successful]

[Immortal Mountain is testing your Trait Entries]

[Trait Entry ranks from low to high are: Inferior White, Ordinary Yellow, Good Purple, Excellent Black, Top-tier Red, God-tier Gold]

This student's Trait Entries for this test are

Trait Entry 1: Vigorous Vajra Bear (Black)

Trait Entry 2: Unmoving Ming King (Black)

Trait Entry 3: Model of Bullying the Weak and Fearing the Strong (Yellow)

Trait Entry 4: Double-Standard Personality (Yellow)

Trait Entry 5: Prospective Degenerate (Purple)

Trait Entry 6: Short-Sighted (White)

Trait Entry 7: Former Murderous Maniac (Purple)

Trait Entry 8: Simple Mind, Well-Developed Limbs (Yellow)

Trait Entry 9: Brute force falsely claims the Unmoving King's name, while cruel deeds stain the years with frost. He bullies the weak with savage force, yet bows and dulls his edge before the strong. Hot-tempered and lacking schemes, he relies on blood and courage; coarse-hearted and thoughtless, he makes enemies and invites disaster. Though possessing a Soul Saint's strength of a thousand catties, he plans no good deeds and is but a foolish bear. (Yellow)

Choose three of the nine Trait Entries. Your three highest Trait Entry qualities are: Black, Black, Purple. Unfortunately, you have not met the Apprenticeship Standard...

"Vigorous Vajra Bear, possess me!"

Boom!

Before the Detection Platform had even finished announcing the results,

Zhao Wuji activated Martial Soul Possession.

His body rapidly expanded, and a thick layer of brown fur covered his skin. He grew to over two and a half meters tall, muscles bulging all over his body. His brownish-yellow eyes radiated an overbearing aura, while seven Spirit Rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black—pulsed continuously around him.

"Fuck!"

"Damn it, it really is a scam mountain!"

"I'm a Soul Saint! I'm more than qualified to be a teacher, yet I don't meet the Apprenticeship Standard?"

"Teachers and students of this scam mountain, get the hell out here and face me!"

"If I don't smash your scam mountain to pieces, then I'm not Zhao Wuji!"

To be honest, Zhao Wuji had already wanted to find an excuse to stir up trouble.

But once those Trait Entries appeared, he could no longer hold himself back. Wasn't this insulting him and exposing his shortcomings?

It'll ruin my image as Shrek's domineering and mighty teacher. I refuse to accept that!

"Roar!"

"Vigorous Vajra Palm!"

Zhao Wuji looked like the Hulk. His seventh ring flashed faintly, and his heavy palm chopped toward the Detection Platform.

No one dared step forward to stop him.

A seven-ring Battle Soul Saint—who would dare provoke him?

Everyone could only tremble as they watched that burly figure.

As Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai watched Zhao Wuji's palm descend toward the Detection Platform, excitement filled their eyes.

Teacher Zhao, crush Immortal Mountain and let them know that our Shrek is the greatest!

Yet before his palm could fall,

"Sword Arrives, Filth Recedes; Pure Night Shatters Delusion!"

A sword aura shot through the air from Immortal Mountain, piercing directly into Zhao Wuji's body and stirring up a gust of clear wind in an instant.
