Chapter 7 - 86 to 90

Chapter 86: Could this be a scam school?

"Yes, I'll have one. I didn't eat much this morning," Shi Quan said, nodding.

Dai Mubai looked at Shi Quan speechlessly and said, "Didn't you hear Little Ao's Spirit chant just now? And you're still eating it?"

"I heard it clearly. To deny a food system Spirit Master because of one Spirit chant, don't you think that's too offensive to him? Besides, I don't think there's anything wrong with his Spirit chant. If you can't eat it, is it possible it's your own problem?"

Shi Quan chuckled, pointing to his head, ignoring their stiff expressions.

He turned to Zhu Zhuqing and said, "Zhuqing, do you want one? Since this Senior is a member of Shrek, his talent must not be weak. I imagine this Sausage tastes good and should be beneficial to you."

Zhu Zhuqing's expression stiffened. Faced with Shi Quan's invitation, she inexplicably nodded. Immediately after nodding, she regretted it, but since she had already agreed, she could only bite the bullet and look at the Sausage in Oscar's hand, continuously telling herself in her mind not to overthink it, that it was just ordinary food.

"Hahaha, Brother, you're right. My Sausage is so delicious. If they don't eat it, it's because their own thoughts are filthy," Oscar laughed heartily, taking two Sausages from the grill and handing them directly to Shi Quan.

"Brother, just for those few words you said, these two Sausages are on me. When you join Shrek, whenever you want Sausage in the future, just tell me, and I'll make it for you for free."

Dai Mubai glared coldly at Oscar, then his icy gaze turned to Shi Quan, a wicked glint in his eyes. "Kid, you dare to embarrass me? In the fourth round, I'll make sure to torment you well and let you know the name of Boss Dai."

"Thank you," Shi Quan took a bite. The Sausage in his mouth was fragrant with meat, full of juice, and indeed tasted much better than ordinary food.

"Zhuqing, it tastes good."

Hearing Shi Quan's voice, Zhu Zhuqing closed her eyes, forcing herself to suppress the thoughts in her heart. She took a small bite, and the aroma of meat filled her mouth. A hint of surprise appeared in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes. After swallowing it, it immediately turned into a warm current that spread throughout her body. The residual internal injuries in her body actually began to recover, and her body began to fill with strength again.

"This Sausage actually has a healing effect, and it works so quickly?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at Oscar with surprise. Thinking of Shi Quan's words, she finally let go of the prejudice in her heart and ate the large Sausage in her hand in two or three bites.

"How did he discover my internal injuries? How did he confirm that this Sausage has a healing effect?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at Shi Quan's eyes, covered by a white cloth, and recalled Shi Quan's words, "beneficial to you," and a few more traces of curiosity arose in her heart.

"Let's go."

Dai Mubai didn't want to waste any more time here. He just wanted to get to the fourth round quickly and teach Shi Quan a lesson.

"Where's my Sausage?"

Facing Xiao Wu's question, Tang San immediately explained, and Xiao Wu also looked speechless.

Dai Mubai patted Tang San's shoulder and said, "Let's go, I'll take you through the exam. No need to queue."

Tang San said, "Is that not good?"

"Don't worry, I'm not playing favorites. This is the treatment you deserve. He's the same as you," Dai Mubai said, pointing to Shi Quan.

Tang San and Xiao Wu looked confused but still followed Dai Mubai forward.

"I'll wait for you in the fourth round," Shi Quan turned and said to Zhu Zhuqing before slowly following.

As he walked forward, Shi Quan also noticed a familiar figure, Ning Rongrong.

"Sure enough, she still came to Shrek," Shi Quan thought to himself.

After Dai Mubai explained the situation to the teacher at the front.

The teacher immediately nodded in agreement.

But the examinees present disagreed, expressing their doubts.

"As long as your spirit power exceeds Rank twenty-five, then you can also directly proceed to the fourth round of the examination."

Hearing the teacher's explanation, everyone was filled with disbelief.

Dai Mubai directly threw the white crystal on the table to Tang San. "Tang San, show them your spirit power."

The test crystal varied in color according to the Rank. This white crystal was specifically for testing spirit power below Rank thirty. If the spirit power exceeded Rank thirty, it would directly burst the crystal.

As soon as the crystal reached Tang San's hand, the white crystal became as dazzling as a diamond, and strong light filled every corner of the crystal. This was clearly a symbol of being about to reach Rank thirty.

After Tang San finished testing, he handed the crystal to Xiao Wu. The same scene appeared; both of them were Rank twenty-nine.

Everyone present was silent. At this moment, Ning Rongrong's clear voice came, "Teacher, I think I should also be exempt from the second and third rounds."

Saying that, Ning Rongrong walked out from the queue and came in front of Xiao Wu, motioning for her to give her the crystal.

Ning Rongrong took the crystal, and a bright white light flashed. Although it was not as strong as Tang San and Xiao Wu's, it was not weak either, at least Rank twenty-seven.

In the original work, Ning Rongrong's spirit power Rank was only twenty-six when she joined Shrek. Because of Shi Quan, her strength was one Rank higher than in the original work, not to mention her physical qualities were also much stronger.

As soon as Ning Rongrong finished testing, Zhu Zhuqing's figure quietly appeared beside her, snatching the crystal from her hand. Light flashed, and the light from both of them was almost the same, both appearing to be Rank twenty-seven.

"Where's that blind man? Could it be that his spirit power also exceeds twenty-five?" Among the examinees present, one looked at Shi Quan, who had not yet tested his spirit power, with an unwilling expression.

Dai Mubai was also unsure of Shi Quan's strength, but since Teacher Li Yuesong in the first round said he could go to the fourth round, it meant Shi Quan's spirit power must be above Rank twenty-five.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the crystal in her hand, came in front of Shi Quan, and asked, "Do you want to test?"

"No need," Shi Quan shook his head.

"That's right, this crystal can only test below Rank thirty," Zhu Zhuqing thought to herself, nodded, and prepared to put the crystal back.

Dai Mubai, however, spoke up, "You should still test."

"Are you sure?" Shi Quan turned his head towards Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai frowned and said, "Having you test is also to let these examinees know that Shrek Academy will not have cheating."

"No problem," Shi Quan took the crystal from Zhu Zhuqing's hand. Zhu Zhuqing instinctively moved behind Shi Quan.

The surging Internal Energy poured into the white crystal ball.

Almost instantly…

Crack, crack, crack…

Crisp cracking sounds rang out!!

Stimulating everyone's eardrums present.

Boom!

The next moment, the crystal ball suddenly shattered completely, turning into a pile of white crystal particles.

Silence.

Everyone present was stunned into speechlessness, even the testing teacher was shocked.

"No problem now, right?" Shi Quan shook off the crystal powder from his hand.

"Haha, I didn't expect our Shrek Academy to welcome a monster among monsters this year," the testing teacher said with a laugh.

"As for the cost of this crystal, Mubai, you can give it to the Dean yourself. Alright, take them to the fourth round."

Dai Mubai recovered, looking at Shi Quan with a complicated gaze. He also understood why Teacher Li Yuesong would ask him to send Shi Quan to the fourth round.

A Spirit Elder, a Spirit Elder with three spirit rings, does he still need to test his spirit power Rank?

After a moment of silence, Dai Mubai led the group of five towards the fourth round.

As they walked, Dai Mubai also began to explain the conceptual design and purpose of Shrek Academy's four stages.

Listening to Dai Mubai's explanation, a hint of excitement also appeared in Ning Rongrong's eyes. Although Shrek Academy looked a bit dilapidated, from what she could see, everyone who could join the Academy had top-tier talent and strength.

"The Academy has admitted a total of sixty-two students, but only fourteen have truly graduated. These fourteen people, after leaving the Academy, all became figures of global renown. The most outstanding one is now the youngest Elder in Spirit Hall, with authority second only to the Supreme Pontiff. The rest who did not graduate either failed to complete Rank forty Cultivation before the age of twenty or died while hunting Spirit Beasts."

Listening to Dai Mubai's words, she didn't believe that she couldn't find partners stronger and better than Shi Quan here.

Shi Quan frowned and said, "The lowest strength of a Spirit Hall Elder is a Titled Douluo. The Academy's admission age is thirteen or younger, and Shrek Academy has been established for no more than twenty-five years. This means the Academy has cultivated a Titled Douluo who is less than thirty-eight years old? If I remember correctly, the youngest Titled Douluo on the continent is Clear Sky Douluo, and he was over forty when he became a Titled Douluo. Are you sure you didn't say that wrong?"

Dai Mubai paused and said, "This is what the Dean told us. I'm not sure about the specifics."

"There's another question. How many of the forty-eight students who didn't graduate died while hunting Spirit Beasts? Is Shrek Academy's faculty so weak? Do deaths still occur while hunting Spirit Beasts?"

Dai Mubai looked embarrassed and quickly explained, "Because the Academy treats hunting Spirit Beasts as a trial, to increase students' survival ability, teachers guard from the side and then let students cooperate with each other to hunt Spirit Beasts. This inevitably leads to some casualties."

"As teachers, if they cannot objectively analyze the students' actual situation, and their guardianship is insufficient, leading to deaths, isn't this also a problem with the faculty?"

Shi Quan made a hesitant expression, stopped, and asked uncertainly, "Not only is there false advertising, but the faculty also has certain problems? Is Shrek Academy not a scam academy?"

Everyone present couldn't help but freeze, stopping in their tracks and looking at Dai Mubai.

Ning Rongrong also realized that something seemed off. Dai Mubai's words just now indeed sounded exciting, but if one thought about it carefully, one could find problems within them. After all, every student who could join the Academy was a Genius, but the graduation rate was shockingly low.

Looking at the dilapidated surroundings, she recalled everything about Tian Dou Royal Academy and Shi Quan's teachings to her, then immediately asked, "What are Shrek Academy's educational resources? Do they have simulated Cultivation environments and such…"Chapter 87 Zao Wou-Ki

Dai Mubai was speechless for a moment and could only prevaricate, "The Academy customizes Cultivation plans according to each student's situation. If you have any questions, you can ask the Dean after you join the Academy. But I can tell you with certainty that Shrek Academy is definitely not a fraudulent academy, otherwise I wouldn't have joined it."

Tang San and Xiao Wu exchanged glances. Since it was an Academy recommended by Grandmaster, they naturally believed it.

As for Shi Quan, he only said that to annoy Dai Mubai. He definitely intended to join. Once he got the Eight Spider Lances, he would slip away.

He was more curious about whether Ning Rongrong would continue to stay at Shrek Academy after he said that. After all, she had already experienced the educational resources and teaching staff of Tian Dou Royal Academy. It was fine without a comparison, but with one, the feeling would be different.

"The fourth round is just ahead. Let's go over first." Dai Mubai quickly changed the subject, pointing to the open space not far away.

The few of them remained silent, but they all silently followed. After all, the tuition fee couldn't be refunded, and since they had already come, they all wanted to see if this Academy was real or fake.

"Teacher Zhao, I've brought people for the fourth round of assessment."

"Hmm? There are people coming for the fourth round this year? And there are five of them." Zhao Wuji opened his hazy, sleepy eyes and looked at the five people in front of him with some surprise.

"Not only have they reached the fourth round, but they also bypassed the second and third rounds of tests."

Hearing Dai Mubai's words, Zhao Wuji's eyes lit up, and he immediately became interested. He stood up and scrutinized the four people. When he saw Shi Quan's blind demeanor, a hint of curiosity appeared in his eyes.

After a simple introduction to the fourth round, Zhao Wuji smiled and said, "My name is Zhao Wuji, and I am your teacher for the fourth test. In previous years, I've almost never seen monsters over Rank twenty-five at the age of twelve. This year, five have arrived at once, so let me play with you."

"I'll give you an incense stick's time now. During this incense stick, you can get to know each other and discuss. After the incense stick, the test begins. If all five of you can withstand my attacks for the duration of one incense stick, even if only one person persists until the end, you will pass."

"Teacher Zhao, isn't that a bit much?" Dai Mubai said hesitantly.

"What's wrong with it? The Dean isn't here, I'm the biggest in the Academy." Zhao Wuji's words were full of domineering aura. As he spoke, he pulled out an incense stick from who knows where, pinched it with his fingers to light it, and threw it on the ground.

"Mubai, you can tell them about my strength and characteristics so they can be somewhat prepared." With that, Zhao Wuji sat back in his chair and continued to sleep.

Seeing this, Dai Mubai could only return to the group and say, "Teacher Zhao is the Vice Dean of the Academy, named Zhao Wuji. He is a Rank seventy-six Spirit Saint with the Vigorous Vajra Bear Spirit, possessing unparalleled offense and defense. You'll have to rely on yourselves."

With that, Dai Mubai looked at Shi Quan and said, "How about it? Do you still think Shrek Academy is a fraudulent academy? A Spirit Saint personally instructing, how can other academies compare?"

"Immovable King Zhao Wuji?" Ning Rongrong frowned, looking in Zhao Wuji's direction.

Dai Mubai looked at Ning Rongrong, "You've heard of Teacher Zhao's name?"

Ning Rongrong nodded, "I used to hear about him. He disappeared from the continent for ten years. I didn't expect him to be a teacher at Shrek Academy. Back then, Immovable King Zhao Wuji had a conflict with Spirit Hall. Spirit Hall wanted to punish him, but he managed to break out of the encirclement of sixteen bishops. Later, that matter was left unresolved. The bishops of Spirit Hall are at least Rank sixty Spirit Emperor level powerhouses. At that time, Zhao Wuji should have only been in his sixties."

"Teacher Zhao is much more powerful now than before."

Dai Mubai said, puffing out his chest, and then began to talk about Zhao Wuji's various abilities.

"You should get to know each other now and then discuss a strategy. However, I still need to remind you that although Teacher Zhao focuses on strength and defense, don't attempt to drag out the fight with speed. Even if his speed is slow, it's not something any of you can compare to."

Tang San nodded and was the first to speak, "My name is Tang San, my Tool Spirit is Blue Silver Grass, and I'm a Rank twenty-nine control system Battle Spirit Master."

Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing also introduced themselves one after another.

"Zhuang Zhou, my original Spirit is Spirit Soul, I guess I'm a Rank thirty-one support system Spirit Master."

"Original Spirit?" Although everyone was puzzled, most of their gazes still fell on Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong, however, widened her eyes and looked at Shi Quan, "Zhuang Zhou, you said you're a support Spirit Master?"

It was well known that the Cultivation speed of support Spirit Masters was much slower than that of battle Spirit Masters. For a support Spirit Master to Break through to Rank thirty at the age of twelve, what kind of concept was that? Even with Innate full spirit power, it wouldn't be that exaggerated.

"I am a support Spirit Master." Shi Quan nodded. The main reason was that the three Spirit Abilities Xiao Meng currently brought him had no obvious offensive or control capabilities. They were more about weakening and confusing enemies, so calling him a support Spirit Master was not an exaggeration.

"How on earth do you Cultivate? A support Spirit Master Cultivates so fast!" Ning Rongrong exclaimed in amazement.

"Are you from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?" Shi Quan countered with a question, and everyone else also looked curious.

After all, only direct descendants of the Upper Three Sects' Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could possess the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Facing everyone's gaze, Ning Rongrong gracefully introduced her situation and Spirit Abilities.

After Ning Rongrong finished speaking, she continued to look at Shi Quan, "This is the first time I've heard of a Soul Spirit. What direction is your support ability biased towards?"

"Reduction." Shi Quan waved his hand, saying casually, "You guys do whatever you want, don't worry about me. I can hold out for an incense stick's time by myself."

Hearing Shi Quan's words, everyone looked at each other. Dai Mubai even laughed mockingly, "You're too overconfident! Even I wouldn't dare say I could last a minute against Teacher Zhao. You, a support Spirit Master, want to last an incense stick against Teacher Zhao? Do you really think Teacher Zhao is a pushover?"

Tang San said, "With Ning Rongrong boosting us and you weakening Teacher Zhao, Xiao Wu can be the main attacker, and I'll be responsible for controlling Teacher Zhao's attacks. At the same time, Zhu Zhuqing can use her speed to distract him from the side. We have a very good chance of lasting for an incense stick's time."

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong both nodded, and Zhu Zhuqing also gave a slight nod, indicating her agreement.

Shi Quan, however, said with a faint smile, "According to the rules of the assessment, you just need to lie down and win. Don't worry about me."

Seeing Shi Quan's persistence, Tang San understood that Shi Quan would definitely not listen to his command. He could only shake his head helplessly, thinking to himself, "How can a blind person last an incense stick against a Spirit Saint?"

At the same time, on the other side, Zhao Wuji, with slightly narrowed eyes, was also looking at Shi Quan, thinking, "This kid is a bit too arrogant. He even wants to last an incense stick against me by himself. Haha... When I make my move later, I'll be the first to knock him down."

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhao Wuji's booming voice came, "Time's up, prepare to begin."

As he spoke, Zhao Wuji had already stood up from his chair. His entire body emitted crackling sounds of bones, and an invisible pressure immediately rushed towards them.

"Seven Treasures turn out with Glaze." Seven-colored light converged, and in Ning Rongrong's right palm, there was already a colorful pagoda about a foot tall.

While Zhao Wuji was relighting the incense, Ning Rongrong had already summoned her Spirit first.

"Seven Treasures have a name, first: Strength."

With a soft Spirit chant, the first spirit ring ascended, enveloping the seven-colored pagoda. Under Ning Rongrong's left finger, three rays of colored light were simultaneously released, covering Tang San and the other two.

"Seven Treasures have a name, second: Speed!"

Immediately following, Ning Rongrong did not hesitate. The light of the second spirit ring bloomed, and three more rays of light floated out from the pagoda, landing on the three of them.

At once, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing all felt their bodies filled with power, and their bodies felt much lighter. At the same time, the other few also released their respective Spirits. Amidst the flashing yellow light, only Shi Quan's purple spirit ring was particularly eye-catching.

"Good heavens, there's a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Family member among this year's examinees. Not bad, not bad. That old ghost Flender is definitely going to be excited this time." As he spoke, the incense stick in his hand was already lit. He casually tossed it, sticking it into the ground.

The moment his voice fell!

Zhao Wuji did not give the three an opportunity to attack first, and directly charged towards Ning Rongrong!

Seeing this, Tang San thought it was bad. Fortunately, Zhao Wuji's speed wasn't fast. Almost as he was about to get close to Ning Rongrong, his Blue Silver Grass instantly activated. Deep blue long vines grew out of the ground beneath Ning Rongrong's feet, binding her and quickly pulling her in another direction.

"Kid, I'd like to see what confidence you have."

Seeing this, Zhao Wuji was not surprised but delighted. He shifted his steps and directly rushed towards Shi Quan, who was to the side.

To dare say he could last an incense stick against him, let alone an incense stick, Zhao Wuji wouldn't even let him last a minute. This was the consequence of arrogance.

"Zhuang Zhou, be careful." Zhu Zhuqing called out a warning.

Tang San had saved Ning Rongrong, but he didn't have that much thought to look after Shi Quan. He saved Ning Rongrong because Grandmaster had once said that if there was a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Spirit Master among the enemies, they must be dealt with first. Under this preconceived notion, he thought Zhao Wuji's first target would be Ning Rongrong.

Coupled with Shi Quan's lack of cooperation, he had somewhat overlooked Shi Quan's presence.

He also hadn't expected that Zhao Wuji, as a Spirit Saint teacher, would immediately try a feint, with his target being Shi Quan, who had the highest spirit power Rank.

While Zhu Zhuqing called out a warning, she also moved. Almost as Zhao Wuji approached Shi Quan, her figure appeared behind Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji let out a low roar, and his body suddenly expanded. His already terrifying muscles almost doubled in size, and even his height increased by a meter in an instant. His entire person became extremely imposing.

Seven dazzling spirit rings simultaneously rose. He didn't even block Zhu Zhuqing's attack. He raised his hand and slapped towards Shi Quan...Chapter 88 You're a nobody

Ding, ding, ding, ding—

The dense, crisp sounds were Zhu Zhuqing's attacks.

Unfortunately, with Zhu Zhuqing's current strength, her attacks had almost no effect against Zhao Wuji's Spirit-possessed body.

Zhao Wuji's body was like steel, and even with her full-force cat claws, she could only tear his clothes.

Seeing Zhao Wuji's bear paw descending, Zhu Zhuqing could only fret, helpless.

Looking at Shi Quan, who was staring blankly, Zhao Wuji sneered, thinking, "I thought he had some hidden cards, but he was scared silly as soon as he arrived?"

Dai Mubai, seeing this, also sneered, as if he had already foreseen Shi Quan being humiliated.

Zhao Wuji's palm strike paused his massive figure.

His bear eyes widened.

His palm had directly passed through Shi Quan's figure, touching nothing.

Now, his hand was inside Shi Quan's chest, looking very bizarre.

"What's going on?" The next second, Shi Quan's figure dissolved into specks of light.

"Fake? An illusion? When did he release it?"

Zhao Wuji was startled and quickly looked around, only to find that the original team of five now had only four people. Shi Quan's figure had just disappeared like that?

"Where is he?" Zhao Wuji was a bit confused, and not just Zhao Wuji; everyone present was a bit confused.

The next second, Shi Quan's figure reappeared on an empty patch of ground ten meters away.

Everyone present could confirm that there was no one there just now; Shi Quan appeared as if out of thin air, just like that.

"This kid is a bit strange."

Thinking this, Zhao Wuji half-squatted, smashing both fists into the ground simultaneously. With a muffled thud, the earth trembled violently, and a circle of earthy yellow waves, following the ground's undulations, radiated out from Zhao Wuji in all directions.

"Xiao Wu, go." Tang San used Blue Silver Grass to lift Ning Rongrong, then let out a low shout, raising and pushing his hands forward at his chest.

The leaping Xiao Wu landed her toes precisely on Tang San's palms. Aided by Tang San's push, she shot towards Zhao Wuji below like an arrow.

Regardless of what was happening with Shi Quan, Tang San still felt that offense was the best defense. While Zhao Wuji's attention was on Shi Quan, an active attack could buy them more time.

On the other side, Shi Quan's figure also leaped as the wave approached, dodging the attack.

"This one should be real," Zhao Wuji thought to himself, seeing Shi Quan react.

Locking his Qi onto Shi Quan, he faced Xiao Wu's attack without dodging or dispersing, like a wooden stake, just waiting for Xiao Wu to strike.

His goal was to test the strength of the five, not just Shi Quan's. Seeing Xiao Wu actively attack, he naturally played along.

Bang! Bang!

Two dull sounds rang out. Xiao Wu's fierce attack, with enough power in her feet to almost snap a small tree, landed on Zhao Wuji's shoulder, yet it failed to cause him any damage!

It didn't even make him budge a bit.

"Your coordination isn't bad, but you don't seem to have much strength."

Just then, several vines grew from beneath Zhao Wuji's feet, pulling him into the air.

The toxins in the vines instantly made Zhao Wuji's feet feel numb!

Immediately after, the vines vanished. Without the support of the vines, Zhao Wuji was now in the air. Even with a thousand-jin weight, he had no use for it!

However, Xiao Wu's feet were still clamped on Zhao Wuji's shoulders.

"Waist Bow!"

Just then, Xiao Wu's first spirit ring beneath her lit up. Her hands spread slightly, and two vines instantly appeared, grabbing her hands and bending Xiao Wu's body into an extreme arc.

With the ultimate cooperation between Tang San and Xiao Wu, they took advantage of Zhao Wuji's time in the air, using the strength of their feet combined with the assistance of the vines, to fling Zhao Wuji downwards.

"Compared to the original work, Tang San and Xiao Wu's cooperation is even more seamless, and their Spirit and Spirit Ability coordination appears more natural."

Twenty meters above the empty ground, Shi Quan sat cross-legged in mid-air.

When Ning Rongrong released her Spirit Ability, he simultaneously released his Dream Illusion ability. After leaving an illusion of himself in place, and using the illusion for cover, he had already silently arrived twenty meters in the air, quietly observing the scene unfolding below.

As for Shi Quan's figure on the ground, it was, of course, an illusion created by Shi Quan, just like before.

His gaze returned to the battlefield.

Just as he was about to land, Zhao Wuji tried to brace himself with his hands. If he were to directly smash into the ground, he would not feel good.

But just as Zhao Wuji was about to reach out, Zhu Zhuqing's ghostly figure reappeared, and her first spirit ring beneath her lit up.

Ding, ding, ding—

Another series of attacks, targeting Zhao Wuji's vulnerable armpits. Even Zhao Wuji had to retract his hands to protect his weak points.

Unable to brace himself on the ground, Zhao Wuji, even with his spirit power unleashed, could only fall to the ground with a resounding crash.

Zhu Zhuqing, on the other hand, a faint light flashed, and after one strike, she quickly retreated.

A tremendous sound suddenly erupted!

Who knows how heavy Zhao Wuji's body was, but when he was slammed onto the ground, it caused a violent tremor and a cloud of dust.

Compared to Shi Quan's strangeness, the trio's cooperation was more visually impactful, even causing Dai Mubai to widen his eyes.

"I wasn't fully awake just now. I have to thank you for helping me shake off some of my sleepiness." Zhao Wuji got up with a serious expression, finding an excuse for himself.

Dai Mubai, beside him, couldn't help but snicker.

"Xiao Bai, you're laughing very happily, aren't you? Tomorrow, I'll give you some practical lessons too."

"Uh…" Dai Mubai's smile instantly froze.

"Since I'm no longer sleepy, I'll play with you properly." Zhao Wuji looked at the incense stick, which had burned down by a third, then took large strides and chased after Tang San.

Compared to Shi Quan's strangeness, the cooperation of Tang San and the other two was more troublesome.

Zhao Wuji now planned to deal with Tang San and the other two first before tackling the most bizarre Shi Quan.

"Xiao Wu!"

Seeing Zhao Wuji approaching, Tang San let out a low shout, sinking his shoulders.

Xiao Wu lightly leaped, stepping on Tang San's shoulders, and soared high into the air.

"Again?" Zhao Wuji sneered, "The same Move won't work on me!"

Saying that, Zhao Wuji also leaped high into the air, intending to capture this bouncing little rabbit directly in mid-air.

But just then, several vines directly encircled Xiao Wu. Almost at the instant Zhao Wuji punched at Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu was immediately redirected by the vines! At the same time, the vines assisted Xiao Wu, allowing her to kick sideways towards Zhao Wuji.

From afar, it looked as if a hammer was tied to the tip of a vine, strangely changing its arc and smashing sideways towards Zhao Wuji.

Meteor Human Hammer.

"Hidden Weapons techniques, combined with Controlling Crane Catching Dragon?"

Shi Quan instantly noticed the difference between the two and the Meteor Human Hammer in the original work: Xiao Wu's figure was more agile, making it difficult for even Zhao Wuji to easily catch Xiao Wu in mid-air.

But one problem they had to face was that their attack power was too weak; their attacks had almost no effect on the incredibly defensive Zhao Wuji.

At the same time, another cold, ghostly figure also attacked Zhao Wuji. Two spirit rings lit up on this figure. Zhu Zhuqing, attacking from the flank, was incredibly fast!

As she approached Zhao Wuji, her body spun into streaks of afterimages. Within the afterimages, countless chilling lights flashed!

That chilling light was naturally her second Spirit Ability, Nether Hundred Claws!

Watching Zhu Zhuqing's attack, Shi Quan couldn't help but think of a martial art, the Indestructible Divine Claw, a martial art superior to the Nine Yin White Bone Claw.

If Zhu Zhuqing learned this martial art and combined it with the Nether Hundred Claws' ability to launch hundreds of attacks on an enemy in an extremely short time, how terrifying would her attack power be?

At the very least, it could increase Zhu Zhuqing's attack by several times.

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu attack together again, Shi Quan's figure also moved. Based on the original work and his observations, Zhao Wuji would likely have to use a Spirit Ability to assert his dominance.

Shi Quan naturally wouldn't give Dai Mubai the chance to embrace Zhu Zhuqing. Using the illusion as cover, he quietly arrived behind Zhu Zhuqing, not far away.

Indeed.

The next moment!

Zhao Wuji's first yellow spirit ring suddenly flared.

A furious roar came from Zhao Wuji's mouth!!!

Golden light burst forth!

Zhu Zhuqing let out a scream directly in the air and was sent flying by the roar. She also spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and her consciousness became blurry.

Similarly, she had just kicked Zhao Wuji! The force of the rebound instantly made her vomit a mouthful of fresh blood!

The vines wrapped around her also instantly shattered, and she fell from mid-air!

Even Tang San, who was further away, felt his blood Qi surge uncomfortably because the vines were instantly shattered. But he also quickly used Blue Silver Grass again to catch Xiao Wu, pulling her into his embrace.

Dai Mubai quickly ran out, looking at Zhu Zhuqing falling towards him, feeling a bit of heartache.

However, the graceful figure he imagined did not fall; instead, she was intercepted in mid-air by someone else.

"Zhuang Zhou!" Seeing Zhu Zhuqing suddenly in Shi Quan's hands, Dai Mubai's expression instantly darkened.

"Is something wrong?" Shi Quan said indifferently. After resetting Zhu Zhuqing's dislocated hands, Internal Energy flowed into Zhu Zhuqing's body. In just a few breaths, Zhu Zhuqing woke up.

Seeing herself lying in Shi Quan's arms, her face was a little flushed. "Zhuang Zhou, put me down."

"You go rest on the side. I'm here now, so don't worry." Shi Quan put Zhu Zhuqing down, gently patted her shoulder, then the light around Shi Quan twisted again, and his figure vanished again.

Dai Mubai: "…"

Watching the two converse, Dai Mubai's face turned from green to purple.

Not only did I not get to hug her, but you two are also having this intimate conversation in front of me. Do you really think I don't exist?

If asked, Shi Quan would definitely say, "You're nothing…"Chapter 89 What the hell

On the other side, just like in the original, facing Teacher Zhao's pursuit, Xiao Wu directly used Charm, then suffered a backlash and fainted.

Tang San looked at Xiao Wu in his arms in a panic, gave a simple explanation, then locked his gaze on Shi Quan, who had just disappeared.

Only then did he realize that what he thought was real was still fake, but fortunately, when Shi Quan appeared just now, he had locked onto Shi Quan's Qi.

"Invisibility? Or did he use an illusion to hide his figure?" Zhao Wuji's eyes narrowed, and his figure suddenly leaped up, arriving before an open space. With a pat of his bear paw, light points scattered, revealing Shi Quan's illusory figure.

The powerful oppressive feeling seemed not to exist for Shi Quan. With a Nine Shadows Shift under his feet, while creating distance, his illusory figure soared straight into the air, returning to the twenty-meter position, looking down at Zhao Wuji on the open ground.

"He can fly!" Zhao Wuji's eyes widened, feeling somewhat speechless. No wonder Shi Quan made no sound when he moved.

This was playing a hammer.

However, it was naturally impossible for Zhao Wuji to give up just like that. What if he was a flying Spirit Master?

Below Zhao Wuji, the deeply black spirit ring suddenly lit up.

Zhao Wuji's Vigorous Vajra Bear Spirit's fifth Spirit Ability, Gravity Press.

This Spirit Ability was specifically designed for flying Spirit Masters. Under the pressure of gravity, he wanted to see how Shi Quan would fly.

In mid-air, Shi Quan felt the distortion of the surrounding air, and a smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Gravity?

If it were energy pressure, Shi Quan would certainly be affected, but if it was gravity, then he was sorry, he was immune to gravity.

"What's going on?" Zhao Wuji saw that Shi Quan in mid-air was not affected in the slightest, and his heart was immediately filled with confusion. His spirit power continuously surged into his fifth spirit ring, and the powerful gravity continuously increased. Unbeknownst to him, he had already fully unleashed his fifth Spirit Ability.

But Shi Quan in mid-air remained the same, as if the surrounding gravity did not exist.

"What exactly is going on? Why does my fifth Spirit Ability have no effect on him?"

The few people watching the battle only saw the light of Zhao Wuji's fifth spirit ring growing brighter and brighter, completely unaware of what was happening.

They only thought that Zhao Wuji was brewing some big move.

Looking at Shi Quan in mid-air, Tang San also understood why he was confident. It wasn't because of his arrogance and conceit, but because he truly had the ability.

Holding the soft Xiao Wu in his arms, Tang San's heart felt no joy.

"Come down, your Spirit Ability is really strange, it just happens to counter me. If you keep staying in the sky, I really can't do anything to you." Zhao Wuji helplessly put away his spirit ring and waved to Shi Quan in the sky.

"Is it over?" Shi Quan slowly descended, his Spirit Sense focused on Tang San.

Indeed, looking at Xiao Wu in his arms, Tang San's eyes were filled with frost. Hearing Zhao Wuji's voice, he seemed to have made a decision. He still carried Xiao Wu to Ning Rongrong, asking her to help look after Xiao Wu.

Ning Rongrong's attention was originally on Shi Quan in mid-air. Hearing Tang San's words, she didn't know what Tang San was going to do, but she still agreed and took Xiao Wu into her arms.

"Teacher, I hope to have a serious rematch with you, starting everything anew. Please light another stick of incense."

Zhao Wuji was about to pack up and leave. Hearing Tang San's words, he immediately became interested again. "What do you mean by that? If it weren't for that kid's flying ability, you few would have lost long ago."

"Precisely because of that, I want to challenge you again, to prove myself, and for my younger sister. If I lose, Xiao Wu and I will leave the academy together."

Zhao Wuji couldn't help but feel a little annoyed upon hearing this. Did he really think his Spirit Saint was made of mud, that anyone could last a stick of incense against him? "Good, good, good, then I want to see what other strength you have! As you wish!"

The third stick of incense was lit again and inserted into the ground nearby.

Shi Quan looked at Tang San's standing figure, a barely perceptible hint of disdain appearing at the corner of his mouth. It was just a test, and injuries were inevitable. Now he was putting on an act?

And for my younger sister.

Tsk tsk tsk.

What a deep sibling bond.

Using Hidden Weapons against a teacher, one could only say that the protagonist's thought process couldn't be judged by common sense.

Shi Quan wasn't interested in Tang San's show-off. He looked at Zhu Zhuqing and said, "Zhuqing, wait a moment. I'll go get some Sausages from Oscar. They'll be good for your injuries."

"This academy isn't small, and you can't see. How will you find him?"

"Don't worry, although I can't see, my other senses are very strong. You wait a moment, I'll be back soon." Shi Quan smiled and nodded at Zhu Zhuqing, then turned and left.

As soon as Shi Quan left, various Hidden Weapons began to be continuously thrown from Tang San's hands onto the open ground, making crackling sounds.

In just a few minutes, the open ground was covered with various Hidden Weapons.

At this time, Shi Quan and Oscar also arrived at the open ground, holding two large Sausages in his hands.

"Zhuqing, eat two Sausages first to recover."

Because she had seen the effects of Oscar's Sausage before, Zhu Zhuqing was not as resistant this second time. In a few bites, she ate all the large Sausages Oscar had made.

A warm current swept through her entire body. The injuries she had just sustained recovered by more than half in less than a moment.

Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but marvel at the amazing efficacy of Oscar's large Sausage.

As soon as Oscar arrived, he was drawn to the battle on the field.

Looking at Tang San's unpredictable methods, everyone except Shi Quan was stunned on the spot.

"Are you a hedgehog?" Zhao Wuji roared. However, due to being poisoned, his tongue was a little numb, and his speech was somewhat slurred.

It was also at this moment that a hammer suddenly appeared in Tang San's left hand, a pitch-black small hammer.

"twin spirits?" Shi Quan exclaimed.

Others hadn't realized it was twin spirits, but Shi Quan didn't mind helping him announce this secret. Since Tang San dared to use it, he dared to say it.

Everyone was clearly stunned when they heard Shi Quan's exclamation, and their gazes all fell on the small hammer that had suddenly appeared in Tang San's hand.

Zhao Wuji's reaction was also very quick when he heard Shi Quan's voice. His spirit power condensed in his palm. Because he was prepared, Zhao Wuji successfully blocked Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer and didn't end up with the disfigured face he had in the original story.

Now someone was really playing with a hammer.

With a backhand slap, he sent Tang San flying. If everyone had doubted that the pitch-black small hammer in Tang San's hand wasn't a Spirit before, then now the sudden disappearance of the loose pitch-black small hammer confirmed its existence as a Spirit.

For a time, everyone present, with Shi Quan's reminder, knew the secret of Tang San's twin spirits.

"That's Hao..." This time, Zhao Wuji was not stunned by Tang San's smash, so he clearly saw the pitch-black small hammer in Tang San's left hand. Dai Mubai and the others might not recognize the Clear Sky Hammer, but how could an old fox like Zhao Wuji not recognize it? Just as he subconsciously was about to utter the name of the Clear Sky Hammer, he suddenly felt himself being locked onto by a terrifying aura.

His open mouth suddenly froze, and he looked around in terror.

"Teacher, what are you saying?" Shi Quan looked at Zhao Wuji, seeing from his appearance that he must have been warned by Tang Hao.

Shi Quan wasn't too worried about Tang Hao making a move on him. After all, Shi Quan was a blind person now, and an auxiliary Spirit Master. Although he had exposed the secret of Tang San's twin spirits, it was also because Tang San himself used the Clear Sky Hammer. Presumably, Tang Hao wouldn't make things difficult for him.

"Nothing, nothing." Zhao Wuji quickly waved his hand, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, and waved to Oscar. "Oscar, come over quickly, give me a Sausage and a cured Sausage."

"Coming, coming." Oscar quickly came to Zhao Wuji's side and began chanting his incantation.

Without the Dragon Beard Needle, Tang San didn't cause too much damage to Zhao Wuji, only an outfit torn by Hidden Weapons, looking a bit disheveled.

"Teacher Zhao, I should have passed, right?" Tang San's weak voice came.

"You passed." Zhao Wuji snorted coldly. "Mubai, you're responsible for getting these five new students settled. School starts tomorrow. No one touch the weapons Tang San left all over the ground. Some of them are poisoned. Let him clean them up himself when he wakes up."

After speaking, Zhao Wuji quickly left after glancing around.

"Good brother, I knew you could pass the test. There's still an empty spot in my dorm, you can share a dorm with me." Oscar happily put his arm around Shi Quan.

"I'm fine with anything." Shi Quan smiled and nodded.

Dai Mubai supported Tang San, Ning Rongrong held Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing stood close to Shi Quan.

"Let's go, let's go to the dorms first."

Led by Dai Mubai, the group quickly arrived at several small wooden houses.

The academy's dorms were all two people per room.

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun shared a room, Ning Rongrong held Xiao Wu, so they were directly arranged into one dorm, Zhu Zhuqing had a single dorm, Shi Quan and Oscar shared a dorm, and Tang San had a single dorm.

"Zhuang Zhou, this is the bed..." Oscar brought Shi Quan into the dorm and immediately began to introduce everything. Because Shi Quan's current identity was that of a blind person, Oscar introduced everything particularly carefully, and repeatedly told him to just call him if he had any problems.

Shi Quan also explained to Oscar that although he couldn't see, he had a special ability to observe his surroundings, so there was no need to worry."

"That Tang San today was also amazing, fighting Teacher Zhao desperately for a Xiao Wu."

"I don't like Tang San."

"Why?"

"Teacher Zhao was testing us as a teacher, and injuries are inevitable. For such a small matter, Tang San completely went for the kill. Such a personality is too obsessive."

"Obsessive? It doesn't matter, as long as he doesn't make things difficult for us. But you should still be careful, Boss Dai's gaze towards Zhu Zhuqing is a bit off, it's clear he's taken a liking to her. With Boss Dai's personality, he won't let go of something he likes. His strength is the strongest among the students, his Spirit is the White Tiger, and his spirit power has reached thirty-seventh rank. You be careful..."Chapter 90: Snakes and rats in the same nest

Regarding Oscar's reminder, Shi Quan felt more contempt for Dai Mubai in his heart.

He was not afraid of Dai Mubai.

… …

"Oh, right Oscar, where is the academy's dining hall?"

"I'll take you."

The two chatted, and before they knew it, it was noon.

As soon as he walked out of the dormitory, Shi Quan said, "Oscar, isn't Zhuqing in a single room? Let's call her to come along."

Oscar smiled lewdly, "Hahahaha, I understand, I understand, can you keep up?"

"No problem."

"Boss Dai is also at Zhu Zhuqing's dormitory door, are we still going?" After walking for a while, Oscar whispered.

"Go. Zhuqing hasn't come out, which means Zhuqing doesn't want to bother with him. It's a good time for us to go and help Zhuqing out," Shi Quan said calmly.

"You're really brave," Oscar chuckled.

"Little Ao, Zhuang Zhou." Dai Mubai heard the movement behind him and turned around, noticing the two figures. Oscar was fine, but when he saw Shi Quan's figure, Dai Mubai's expression clearly darkened.

Oscar smiled faintly and said, "Boss Dai, Zhuang Zhou came to ask Zhu Zhuqing to go to the dining hall for a meal. I had to bring him over."

"Does Zhuqing want to go to the dining hall together?"

Clang, the dormitory door opened, and Zhu Zhuqing's cold figure walked out of the dormitory. "Let's go."

"Okay." Shi Quan nodded with a smile.

Dai Mubai watched as he had called Zhu Zhuqing for a long time without success, yet Shi Quan came and called her out with just one sentence. Anger quickly surged in his chest.

Oscar looked at Dai Mubai's suppressed anger and couldn't help but stifle a laugh. He didn't dare laugh in front of Boss Dai, so he could only hold back his laughter and say, "Boss Dai, do you want to go to the dining hall with us?"

"No," Dai Mubai growled. If he went, wouldn't he look even more like a clown?

"Then we'll go first." Oscar quickly led Shi Quan away. After they had walked far enough, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, this is the first time I've seen Boss Dai so deflated, it's too funny."

"Is it that happy?"

Oscar laughed, "You don't understand Boss Dai. He's a very arrogant and domineering person. He's used to being strong in his actions on weekdays. Besides the teachers, you're the first person to make him lose Face."

Shi Quan said with interest, "Oscar, why don't you tell us about this Dai Mubai?"

Zhu Zhuqing also looked at Oscar.

Oscar gave a lewd smile, "Boss Dai's background is not simple, he's very rich. As for his talent and strength, there's no need to mention them; anyone who can join the academy isn't weak. I call him and Ma Hongjun from his dormitory the 'Two Tyrants of the Brothels,' undefeated in all the flower gardens of the world. Their highest record is having three girlfriends at once, rushing to three dates in one day. Their famous motto is 'Women are not people, they are resources.' The speed at which those two change girlfriends is as fast as changing clothes, unlike me, a pure virgin boy."

"Filthy," Zhu Zhuqing coldly uttered two words.

"Is Ma Hongjun another student at the academy?" Shi Quan continued to guide.

"Ma Hongjun is the Dean's disciple. His Spirit, we all call him a wild chicken…",

"Birds of a feather."

After listening to Oscar describe Ma Hongjun's situation, Zhu Zhuqing's expression became even colder. She had initially thought that Dai Mubai had been Cultivating diligently since coming here, striving to survive, but she never expected that he would indulge himself and frequent brothels every day after arriving here.

While chatting, the three also arrived at the dining hall. The food in the dining hall was exceptionally simple, with very little meat and mostly vegetarian dishes, and the variety of dishes was also very limited.

"Is the food here that bad?" Shi Quan asked with a frown.

"The academy's situation is just like this. If we want to eat better, we can only go to Soto City to cook for ourselves," Oscar waved his hand.

Shi Quan asked Oscar, "With such poor educational resources, how do you unearth students' potential?"

"The Dean has his way. You'll know when classes start," Oscar said with a smile.

Shi Quan shook his head and said, "Let's still go to Soto City to eat. The nutrition from the academy's food is too low. Spirit Master Cultivation and exercise require a certain level of nutrition, which is beneficial for a Spirit Master's Cultivation. Eating this every day is simply not conducive to Cultivation. To be honest, I'm getting more and more disappointed with Shrek Academy."

"The academy's conditions are just like this, there's nothing we can do." Oscar waved his hand, looking helpless. "As for Soto City, forget it. I don't have that much money. I still need to save up for a wife."

Shi Quan generously said, "It's fine, I'll treat you two. Zhuqing, you too."

"En." Zhu Zhuqing nodded in agreement. After eating, Dai Mubai would definitely come to pester her again, so she might as well go to Soto City with Shi Quan to avoid Dai Mubai's entanglement.

"Then I won't be polite. I know a restaurant in Soto City that tastes pretty good, it's just the price…" Oscar chuckled, raising his hand to put it on Shi Quan's shoulder.

"Don't worry, I'm not short on money, we'll go to that one."
