"Teacher, are you serious? The four of us Soul Grandmasters are supposed to challenge you, a Soul Saint?"
Xiao Wu asked outright.
Clearly, even someone as fearless as Xiao Wu found this a little outrageous.
Four Soul Masters around level thirty actually dreamed of lasting an incense stick's time against a Soul Saint. Were they courting death?
Zhao Wuji, however, said calmly:
"Relax. I'll suppress my strength to the Soul Elder level. As Zhao Wuji, the esteemed Vice President of Shrek Academy, I won't bully you."
"All right, you now have one incense stick's time to discuss your battle plan. Mubai, give them some information about me."
Zhao Wuji casually lit an incense stick. With a flick of his fingers, he sent it straight into the ground, offering a glimpse of his strength!
Hearing Zhao Wuji tell him to reveal some information about him to Lu Qian, Tang San, and the others, Dai Mubai walked over to them rather reluctantly and said quickly:
"Teacher Zhao is a level seventy-six Soul Saint with a beast Martial Soul. He's extremely powerful. In my opinion, there's no way you can complete this challenge."
Dai Mubai gave a cold laugh, then continued addressing the four:
"Actually, your original opponent was me. But because one particular fellow among you is too strong, Teacher Zhao will personally handle this round."
Dai Mubai stared straight at Lu Qian. Lu Qian, however, frowned and said quietly:
"Let's stop listening to his nonsense. It's a waste of time!"
Lu Qian understood Dai Mubai's meaning perfectly. He merely wanted to sow discord among them, so Lu Qian stopped him from continuing.
"Teacher Zhao's Martial Soul should be the Great Strength Vajra Bear. It excels at defense, and its attack power is terrifying too. Also, if I remember correctly, Teacher Zhao should be the legendary Immovable Wisdom King."
Lu Qian exposed Zhao Wuji's identity outright. Since Dai Mubai doesn't want to tell us, I'll say it myself. Choke on that, you bastard!
"The Immovable Wisdom King, Zhao Wuji? Oh! I remember now!"
With that reminder from Lu Qian, Ning Rongrong remembered too.
"He disappeared from the continent ten years ago. I never imagined he'd be teaching at Shrek Academy."
"Back then, the Immovable Wisdom King, Zhao Wuji, had a grudge with Spirit Hall. Spirit Hall wanted to punish him, but he forced his way out of an encirclement by sixteen bishops. Afterward, the matter came to nothing."
"Spirit Hall's bishops are all at least Soul Emperors above level sixty. Zhao Wuji should only have been in his sixties then. Doesn't that mean he's even stronger now?"
After Lu Qian and Ning Rongrong finished speaking, Tang San and Xiao Wu both looked rather troubled. They were about to face such a ruthless figure.
Lu Qian, however, glanced at Tang San and Xiao Wu and said with a smile:
"Changing opponents isn't really possible now. Let's introduce ourselves first."
"Lu Qian. Tool Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass. Level thirty-five Control System Battle Soul Elder."
"Ning Rongrong. Tool Martial Soul: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Level twenty-six Auxiliary System Tool Spirit Master."
"My name is Tang San. Tool Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass. Level twenty-nine Control-Type Battle Spirit Master."
"Xiao Wu. Beast Martial Soul: rabbit. Level twenty-nine Power Attack System Battle Soul Master."
"You have a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul too?"
Tang San was stunned when he heard Lu Qian introduce his Martial Soul as Blue Silver Grass too!
Blue Silver Grass was reputed to be the most useless Martial Soul. Even with Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's help, cultivating to level twenty-nine had been far from easy for him.
Yet this fellow before him was already a level thirty-five Soul Elder, and he was the same age as him!
Wasn't this Lu Qian far too monstrous?
Seeing the shock filling Tang San's eyes, Lu Qian couldn't help secretly savoring it.
He couldn't really show it on his face, however, so he could only reply mildly:
"That's right. My Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass too."
As he spoke, Lu Qian even released his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.
"Wow, his Blue Silver Grass looks so cool."
Xiao Wu spoke her mind without hesitation.
Tang San also studied Lu Qian's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul in some puzzlement. They were both Blue Silver Grass, so why did Lu Qian's have a ring of pale golden markings?
"Why is your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul different from mine?"
Tang San also released a strand of Blue Silver Grass. It looked utterly ordinary.
"Oh, this Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul of mine? My family said it seems to be something called the King of Blue Silver Grass. All other Blue Silver Grass are my subjects."
Lu Qian subtly got one over on Tang San.
"The King of Blue Silver Grass?"
Tang San repeated in utter confusion.
"Ah, let's stop dwelling on my Martial Soul. Haven't you noticed this direct-line disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? She has the continent's number one Auxiliary System Martial Soul."
Worried that Tang San would catch on, Lu Qian hurriedly changed the subject, getting his jab in and running!
Only after hearing Lu Qian's words did Tang San and Xiao Wu shift their attention to Ning Rongrong.
Martial Souls were divided into ranks to begin with, and Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul belonged to one of the highest ranks!
Moreover, its reputation as the continent's number one Auxiliary System Martial Soul was no empty boast. The two Super Douluos in the sect alone were enough to explain everything!
On top of that, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's standing was now like the sun at its zenith. It was simply unbelievable that Ning Rongrong, a direct-line disciple of the sect, would appear here.
Suddenly finding herself the center of attention, Ning Rongrong stuck out her cute little tongue and said with a smile:
"Stop staring. I'm no different from ordinary people. Besides, I sneaked away from home. Let's pass the test in front of us first before talking about that.
"My Martial Soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. I have two Soul Rings, which can enhance everyone's speed and strength respectively by around thirty percent. Maintaining that for one incense stick's time will be no problem at all."
"Tang San and I are both part of the Control System, so we'll have to leave the attacking to Xiao Wu."
Lu Qian spoke while pretending to ponder.
"That's right. Xiao Wu, it looks like we'll be relying on your hard work this time."
"No problem. Leave it to me!"
"Although our opponent is powerful, it looks like all we can do is give it everything we've got."
Lu Qian sounded a little helpless.
"Yes. The Immovable Wisdom King. A Soul Saint."
Tang San also shook his head with a bitter smile.
It had to be said that the name of the Immovable Wisdom King, Zhao Wuji, truly put enormous pressure on them.
"All right, the incense has burned out. Are you little fellows ready?"
Zhao Wuji suddenly opened his eyes and asked the four of them.
"Teacher Zhao, we're ready. Please give us your guidance!"
Lu Qian was the first to release his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. At the same time, he released a tiny trace of the aura of his awakened Sky-Covering Blue Silver Emperor, intending to give Tang San the false impression that his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul truly was a cut below.
