After observing Yang Feng's performance, Headmaster Flender planned to ask Yu Xiaogang about Yang Feng's Martial Soul.

"Master, I wanted to ask about these children of yours."

"I heard that a young man with a Mutated Martial Soul awakened in Holy Soul Village this year. You personally trained him at Nuoding Academy, and even took him as your disciple, right?"

Yu Xiaogang nodded, an unconcealable smile on his face.

He said happily in his heart:

"That is indeed true. Yang Feng was personally trained by me at Nuoding Academy."

"His Martial Soul—right, his Mutated Martial Soul looks very ordinary. It is merely a mirror."

"It appears completely unremarkable and belongs to none of the three major categories: Beast Martial Souls, Tool Martial Souls, or Plant Martial Souls."

"At first, I thought it was most appropriate to classify this child's Martial Soul as a Tool Martial Soul."

"But..."

Seeing Yu Xiaogang fall silent, Flender hurriedly pressed on:

"What happened? What type does his Martial Soul belong to?"

"No, his Martial Soul is a type of Mutated Martial Soul, not an ordinary Martial Soul. More accurately, it is not an ordinary Mutated Martial Soul either."

"Its characteristics are extremely strange. It can copy other people's Martial Souls for its own use, and its form can change at will!"

"Change at will!" Those four words left Flender utterly confused.

"Wasn't a Martial Soul completely determined from the moment it awakened?"

Yu Xiaogang smiled somewhat proudly.

"Yes, that's right."

"That is also why I took him as my disciple."

"In short, Yang Feng's Martial Soul has tremendous potential. With proper training, he may even have the possibility of becoming a god on the Douluo Continent."

Zhao Wuji was also present when he heard their conversation, and he immediately became somewhat skeptical of Yang Feng's strength.

"What nonsense is Xiaogangzi bragging about now?"

"He makes it sound so exaggerated."

Zhao Wuji was very curious and intended to spar with them properly, to see whether Yang Feng was truly the extraordinary student Yu Xiaogang claimed he was.

"Where is this Yang Feng you mentioned?"

"I really want to see for myself whether this kid is truly as impressive as you say!"

Zhao Wuji's appearance caught Yu Xiaogang somewhat off guard.

Looking at Zhao Wuji, Yu Xiaogang felt as though he had come to undermine him.

His expression immediately darkened.

Zhao Wuji saw the instant change in Yu Xiaogang's expression.

He quickly changed his tone. "Since Yang Feng's strength has earned the approval of a 'Master' like you, we are naturally willing to believe it."

Headmaster Flender recalled the time he had been reading the newspaper and drinking tea, only to be interrupted and scald his mouth.

"Zhao Wuji! That genius boy from Holy Soul Village he mentioned!"

"He is currently living in the same dormitory as Ma Hongjun."

"It is just a pity that Dai Mubai and Oscar were also two promising talents."

"Now they have been bewitched and fooled into joining Spirit Hall."

Zhao Wuji scratched his head. "So that's how it is! I'll go find Yang Feng and see how strong he is."

"Oh, and Dai Mubai and Oscar—next time I see those two, if I get the chance, I'll definitely beat them up badly. Those two traitors!"

After that, he strode out of Flender's headmaster's office.

He headed straight toward Yang Feng's dormitory.

Inside the Shrek Academy boys' dormitory.

"Knock, knock, knock—"

"Excuse me, does Yang Feng live here?"

Zhao Wuji spoke in a polite and gentle tone.

There was no trace of displeasure toward Yang Feng in his words.

Yang Feng looked at the burly man, whose muscles were like those of Cheng Yaojin.

He realized that this was Shrek Academy's Zhao Wuji.

"Teacher Zhao, you are too polite. Your visit to our humble abode truly honors us!"

"What brings you to our dormitory?"

"If there is something, you can say it directly. None of us like to beat around the bush!"

After hearing this, Zhao Wuji said, "I heard from the headmaster and your teacher, Master Yu Xiaogang, about your Martial Soul."

"And about some things you do not understand regarding Martial Souls. I came to seek your advice!"

From Zhao Wuji's deliberately polite tone to the words "seek your advice," Yang Feng noticed that he had placed particular emphasis on the latter phrase.

"Among the current students of Shrek Academy, your strength can be considered first-rate."

"I would like to exchange pointers with you."

There was not the slightest smile on Yang Feng's face after hearing his praise.

Because Zhao Wuji had heard of his strength and had come to spar with him!

Since transmigrating here, Yang Feng had never considered how he should face a spar with Zhao Wuji so early on.

"In my previous life, I didn't even have a proper pair of abs. Fighting Zhao Wuji now feels like a joke."

Yang Feng had no choice regarding Zhao Wuji's actions.

A tall tree catches the wind; this was bound to happen.

Moreover, Zhao Wuji was not someone Yang Feng could handle alone at his current strength.

Yang Feng planned to bring the current Shrek Five Devils to challenge Zhao Wuji together.

The absence of Dai Mubai and Oscar also greatly increased the difficulty of fighting Zhao Wuji.

"Teacher Zhao Wuji, it obviously isn't realistic for me, the protagonist, to challenge you one-on-one, is it?"

"Even if I really am as capable as they say, I still can't beat you."

Yang Feng rubbed his nose and said:

"How about I form a team with the new students who arrived this year and Ma Hongjun, and we spar with you together?"

"That is not excessive at all. It is perfect."

Zhao Wuji thought that having these new students undergo an assessment together would cultivate their teamwork in battle.

It would also save him the trouble of assessing them one by one.

"It is good for all of you to come at me together. That way, I will not earn a reputation for bullying children."

"This guy's defense is so strong," Xiao Wu said from the side.

"I can't hold on much longer! Hurry and use your Martial Soul's characteristics!"

Hearing this, Zhao Wuji's face lit up, because he desperately wanted to see how strong this boy's true strength really was.

"Kid, use all your strength and fight me." Zhao Wuji patted his chest as he spoke.

Ning Rongrong said to Zhao Wuji from the side:

"Fine, Zhao Wuji, you really are proud of yourself! When I have time, I'll definitely ask my father to teach you a lesson!"

Zhao Wuji's expression turned ugly when he heard Ning Rongrong's words.

"We are only having a simple spar. The purpose is to create specialized courses to improve you based on your current Martial Souls and Soul Power levels."

"For such a small matter, do you really need your father to make a personal trip to Shrek Academy?"

After hearing this, Ning Rongrong agreed to Zhao Wuji's request.
