Everyone was stunned, a blue-level crystal ball could explode, this...
The teacher was incredulous: "How could it be? Could it be that your soul power is above level forty?"
But that's not right, there are only three soul rings.
Ye Yu said, "I am level forty. As for why it exploded, maybe my constitution is special."
The teacher was shocked; it was actually level forty. Gaining one more soul ring would make a Soul Sect!
The teacher said, "You can directly enter the academy without taking the fourth assessment. This is the first student in the history of Shrek Academy to skip the last two assessments. I have the authority to make this decision."
No one had any objections to the teacher's decision.
Ye Yu nodded: "Alright, then I'll be on my way. Xiao San, Xiao Wu, I'll save some for you."
Ye Yu quickly left, eager to enjoy the feast, while Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing, led by Dai Mubai, headed to the area for the fourth assessment.
Dai Mubai sighed softly: "Shrek Academy has been established for twenty years and has admitted only forty-two students in total, averaging no more than two a year. If all four of you pass, then it will set a record, making it five this year."
Aside from the cool Zhu Zhuqing, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong were astonished: "In twenty years, only forty-two students? How many students are there now?"
"Currently, including me and Ye Yu who has already passed, there are four in total."
Tang San and the others were even more stunned, exchanging glances, shocked that the academy only had three students before they arrived. This academy has really few students...
However, since it only accepts monsters, it's understandable.
Dai Mubai's face showed admiration and pride.
"The dean always says, 'Rather have few but excellent.' Of the graduates, only fourteen people. But after leaving the academy, they all became prominent figures. The most outstanding one is the youngest Elder in the Martial Soul Hall, second only to the Pope. Other students either couldn't reach level forty by twenty or died while hunting soul beasts. The dean says if you're not level forty-one, don't go out and embarrass him."
Dai Mubai exclaimed: "Ye Yu truly is a monster among monsters; he can graduate anytime now, gaining another soul ring would put him above level forty, setting a graduation record that can never be broken."
This is a clearing, with a chair in front where a man in his fifties was sleeping.
Dai Mubai spoke: "Teacher Zhao, I've brought people for the fourth assessment."
The man opened his drowsy eyes and glanced, surprised: "Oh? It's four this year."
Dai Mubai said: "These four skipped the third assessment directly coming here, and one is already a Shrek student who also skipped the fourth assessment."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji was immediately displeased.
"What? Skipped the fourth assessment? This has never been done before; also, what kind of monster skips the fourth assessment?"
"Teacher Zhao, this was decided by the second assessment teacher."
Zhao Wuji was furious: "That guy, making such a decision is reckless. The academy's assessment rules are already difficult, and he allows someone to skip the fourth assessment. Dai Mubai, go get that newcomer who skipped the fourth assessment! They must be tested!"
"This..." Dai Mubai didn't follow the instruction, explaining, "Teacher Zhao, are you sure you want me to call him? His soul power has reached level forty, and his three soul rings are two thousand years and one ten thousand years!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji was dumbfounded, suspecting Dai Mubai was joking with him!
"Mubai, are you joking with me? Or is that kid already over twelve, the same age as you? Even if he's the same age, he can't enter without breaking the rules, requires the dean's decision."
Zhao Wuji originally wanted to say even fifteen years old and level forty wouldn't count, but with soul rings of two thousand years and one ten thousand years, even older age needs the dean's decision.
Dai Mubai said: "Teacher Zhao, his age is also appropriate, eleven and a half years old, not even twelve."
"What?!!"
Zhao Wuji was once again stunned, staying dazed for a long time.
Eleven years old, level forty, soul rings of two thousand years and one ten thousand years. This...
In Zhao Wuji's view, this was impossible, but with his intimidating presence, Dai Mubai dared not make such jokes.
"Teacher? Should I start assessing them now?"
Dai Mubai inquired, waking Zhao Wuji from the shock.
Zhao Wuji stopped thinking about the kind of monster it was, figuring it would be understood later, and proceeded with the fourth assessment.
Zhao Wuji said: "I'll assess them."
Dai Mubai was surprised but didn't say anything: "Okay, Teacher Zhao."
Zhao Wuji approached, making Tang San and others feel immense pressure.
Although Teacher Zhao wasn't tall, his physique was extremely robust with bulging muscles.
"I am Zhao Wuji. This fourth assessment will be conducted by me. You have the time of one incense stick to discuss and understand each other. If you can last one incense stick time under my hand, you pass. If not, you leave."
Dai Mubai was startled: "Teacher Zhao, this... isn't good."
Dai Mubai knew Zhao Wuji's strength, although Tang San was formidable and the other three girls didn't seem simple either, lasting an incense stick time in front of Zhao Wuji was seemingly impossible.
Zhao Wuji gave him a glare: "What's not good about it? If I say it's possible, then it's possible, begin!"
Seeing Dai Mubai's worried expression, Tang San inquired: "Mubai, is Teacher Zhao a Soul Emperor?"
Dai Mubai shook his head: "No."
Xiao Wu was confident: "Since he's not a Soul Emperor, then we can manage. We're all close to level thirty, and if the gap isn't too wide, lasting an incense stick time isn't difficult."
Dai Mubai gave them a sympathetic look: "Teacher Zhao isn't a Soul Emperor, he is a seventy-six-level Soul Saint! And a Beast Martial Soul, War Soul Saint! Deputy Dean of the Academy, second only to the Dean."
Upon hearing this, Tang San and the others were shocked, seventy-six-level Soul Saint?!
Tang San's expression became serious, but he wasn't fearful at all.
Tang San asked thoughtfully: "Could you tell us about Teacher Zhao's strength?"
Dai Mubai nodded: "Sure. Teacher Zhao's Martial Soul is the Mighty Vajra Bear, an extremely powerful Beast Martial Soul. Excel at strength, defense, his entire body is virtually flawless. Even same-level Soul Saints struggle to penetrate his defense. Although speed isn't his forte, your strength difference with Teacher Zhao is significant. From my perspective, lasting one incense stick time against him is nearly impossible, even including me. Now, I only hope Teacher Zhao won't be too serious later."
Tang San nodded solemnly: "Understood."
Tang San and the others began to discuss. At this moment, Ye Yu arrived with two wrapped roasted chickens, intending to share them with Tang San, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong.
Even when wrapped, Xiao Wu could smell the aroma.
Ye Yu said: "It seems you'll need some more time to finish, but..."
Ye Yu looked at Zhao Wuji with sympathy: "Are you sure you want to personally take action?"
Zhao Wuji was momentarily stunned, who is this kid? Why did he look at him with sympathetic eyes?
