"Oh?" Xiao Tian looked at Ning Rongrong with interest and asked, "Which Sect are you from?"
Ning Rongrong knew that when she revealed her Spirit later, she wouldn't be able to hide it, so she slightly raised her head and proudly said, "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
The next moment, a seven-story pagoda Spirit appeared in front of her, and the bottom two floors were adorned with two yellow spirit rings.
"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit!"
Li Yusong was shocked. How could someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School come to their dilapidated academy?
And looking at the little girl's attire, she must have a certain status within the Sect.
"Ning Rongrong, Spirit Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, twenty-sixth rank."
After speaking, she looked at Xiao Tian again and said, "Hey, Xiao Tian, I've already told you, can you tell me how you did it?"
Xiao Tian just smiled faintly and said, "That's a long story. Let's talk about it when we've all passed the test, if there's a chance."
Meanwhile, Tang San's eyes were deep. Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?
Isn't that one of the Upper Three Sects that Teacher mentioned?
And it's said to be as rich as a nation, with all its direct descendants being auxiliary Spirit Masters.
Immediately, an idea formed in his mind: could he sell some of his Tang Sect Hidden Weapons from his previous life to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to gather initial capital for rebuilding the Tang Sect?
"Zhu Zhuqing, Spirit Hell Civet, twenty-seventh rank."
Seeing that everyone else had displayed their Spirits, Zhu Zhuqing also said coldly.
When Ning Rongrong heard this Spirit, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she also noticed that Dai Mubai, who was next to Li Yusong, kept his eyes on Zhu Zhuqing.
Surname Dai?
Star Luo Empire?
Isn't that their Sect's sworn enemy?
Oh, good, to meet them here. The little demoness in Ning Rongrong felt like she was about to lose control.
Although he wasn't entirely clear on the situation, Li Yusong's eyes still lit up. He had presided over so many new student admissions, and this year had the most qualified candidates!
After testing the bone age of Xiao Tian and the others one by one, he said to Dai Mubai, who was beside him, "Mubai, take them directly to the fourth stage. The rest is up to you."
Dai Mubai's face showed bitterness, knowing he couldn't escape. He could only force a smile and say to Xiao Tian and the others, "Follow me."
Along the way, Dai Mubai also briefly explained the general situation of Shrek Academy to them. In his opinion, Xiao Tian and the others would definitely enter the academy steadily, after all, he had already been beaten once.
For the sake of his own face, Dai Mubai could only lean close to Xiao Tian and whisper, "Xiao Tian, how about we just go through the motions later? I know I was wrong about yesterday's incident, and I'm already reflecting on it."
Xiao Tian showed a benevolent smile, indicating his agreement.
However, Xiao Tian knew that his opponent later wouldn't be Dai Mubai, but that Vigorous Vajra Bear!
Besides Flender, no one else could suppress Zhao Wuji. Even knowing that Flender was currently in the academy, seeing these geniuses, he would surely be unable to resist wanting to make a move, right?
Thinking of this, Xiao Tian couldn't help but smile wickedly. If Zhao Wuji really dared, he would make him a little blind bear later!
Soon after, everyone arrived at the fourth stage assessment location under Dai Mubai's lead.
On a spacious training ground, Zhao Wuji was sitting on a wooden chair with his eyes closed, resting. Feeling the movement in front of him, he slowly opened his eyes.
"Oh? Mubai, this year, so many students are being led directly to the fourth stage by you. It seems their spirit power is at least above twenty-fifth rank?"
Zhao Wuji stood up and stretched his limbs, making a series of crackling sounds.
Dai Mubai walked up to Zhao Wuji and introduced him to Xiao Tian and the others: "This is Teacher Zhao Wuji, the vice-dean of Shrek Academy, a seventy-sixth rank Battle Spirit Saint, with the Vigorous Vajra Bear Spirit, and the title of Immovable King."
"What? You are the Immovable King? You once faced the pursuit of sixteen Spirit Emperors from Spirit Hall and managed to escape unscathed. I didn't expect you to be hiding here all these years?"
Ning Rongrong's small mouth was slightly agape, and she spoke with a surprised expression.
"Oh, little sister, I didn't expect that after so many years, you still know my name, but when you say I'm hiding here, I'm not happy. If Spirit Hall had sent Spirit Emperors who could fight me one-on-one back then, why would I need to run?"
Xiao Tian: ...
They were chasing you, who would fight you one-on-one? What are you talking about?
Then, Dai Mubai also briefly mentioned the ranks of Xiao Tian and the others, but he was stopped halfway through.
"Stop! Don't tell me yet. I will be the examiner for the fourth stage this year. Let them keep a little advantage for now."
Dai Mubai immediately understood what Zhao Wuji meant. He was delighted at first, but then his face fell: "Teacher Zhao, I was the examiner in previous years! The strongest among them is only a Spirit Elder. Even if they all team up, they are no match for you, a Spirit Saint!"
"And, the dean just came by. These are all talents that the dean values. If they lose later, I won't be able to explain myself…"
Zhao Wuji's temper flared up when he heard Dai Mubai's many excuses. He grabbed Dai Mubai by the collar and angrily said, "This is none of your business! I'll talk to Flender later!"
Then, Zhao Wuji pushed Dai Mubai aside.
He conjured an incense stick, lit it, and stuck it into the ground.
"You have the time it takes for one incense stick to burn to discuss your strategy. For the fourth stage, what you need to do is defeat me!"
After speaking, Zhao Wuji sat back down on the chair, looking completely at ease.
In his heart, however, he was secretly thrilled. It had been a long time since he had bullied the weak. Staying in this godforsaken academy all day, he was practically wasting away. This was a good opportunity to stretch his muscles and bones.
Xiao Tian: Let's see who stretches whose muscles and bones later. It all depends on whether your skin is thick enough!
Dai Mubai also looked helpless. He slowly walked over to Xiao Tian and the others, and then everyone squatted down, preparing to discuss tactics.
"Teacher Zhao's Vigorous Vajra Bear Spirit is both offensive and defensive. Its only weakness is speed, but your spirit power gap is too large. The best way now is to stall! Run out the time."
Xiao Tian, however, disagreed. The venue was only so big, and two of Zhao Wuji's Spirit Abilities were gravity-related control skills, so the only way was… to fight!
"No, no matter how much we stall, we won't be a match for Teacher Zhao. Our total spirit power isn't on the same level, and as a Spirit Saint, he definitely has a few control Spirit Abilities and area-of-effect Spirit Abilities. So, we must go all out from the start!"
Saying that, Xiao Tian looked at Tang San.
