Chapter 92: The Test, Coming.
After a night's rest, early the next morning,
Qin Ming led the Shrek group through breakfast and prepared to depart for the Education Committee to meet with the three members.
Xiao Wu, who had been silent until then, suddenly forced a laugh, feigning a downcast expression as she addressed Tang San, "Brother."
Tang San, startled by Xiao Wu's expression, couldn't help but express concern. He asked, "Xiao Wu, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
This immediately caught the attention of the teachers preparing to depart.
Xiao Wu, now making a mournful face, said, "Yeah, but it's nothing. I guess I'm just having some issues with the climate."
Hearing Xiao Wu's excuse, Xuan Mo almost burst out laughing.
Damn, I'm just having some issues with the climate. Tian Dou City isn't that far from Soto City, and the climate isn't much different at all.
What a lame excuse.
Xuan Mo knew that Xiao Wu's current behavior was likely due to his words yesterday.
That was a good thing, after all.
To prevent Dugu Bo from accidentally discovering Xiao Wu's identity when he finally appeared, a huge commotion would ensue.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Wu, appreciating everyone's concern, Flanders's agreement, and Qin Ming's understanding, allowed Tang San to take Xiao Wu back to their quarters to rest.
After Tang San returned, the others, led by Qin Ming, headed to the Tiandou Imperial Academy's Academic Committee.
They soon arrived and met the three members, headed by Meng Shenji.
These three elders had been waiting there for a long time.
"Junior Flanders, greetings to the three seniors!"
Flanders took the lead, folding his hands on his shoulders and bowing slightly.
Meanwhile, Zhao Wuji and several other Shrek teachers and masters stood behind Flanders, clasping their fists and bowing.
Meng Shenji, the chief teacher, laughed heartily and strode forward, taking Flanders' hand from his shoulder and motioning to the other Shrek teachers.
"Dean Flender, you're welcome. I've heard of you for a long time, truly! And it's a great honor for us to have the teachers from Monster Academy here to guide us."
After a round of pleasantries, Meng Shenji and the other three members of the teaching committee clearly set their sights on the Shrek students.
Suddenly, Meng Shenji asked, "I heard from Teacher Qin Ming that two of your team members have defeated Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan for the second time, and another has cracked Dugu Yan's snake venom, yet possesses the Blue Silver Grass spirit. Are they three geniuses?"
Upon hearing this, Flender and the Master exchanged a glance and quickly said, "I wouldn't call them geniuses; it was just luck!"
They then exchanged glances at Xuan Mo, Ma Hongjun, and Tang San.
Seeing this, Xuan Mo and the other two quickly stepped forward, offering a junior salute to Meng Shenji and the other two.
Meng Shenji and the other two exchanged glances and nodded silently. As Xuan Mo and the others stood up, three powerful auras emanated from them, bearing down on them.
At this moment, Xuan Mo suddenly felt a surge of soul power acting upon him, but it was nothing to him, his expression remaining calm.
Even Ma Hongjun and Tang San were not troubled at all. Seeing this, Meng Shenji and the other two nodded involuntarily, then slowly increased the pressure.
Soon, at the thirty-eighth level of soul power pressure, Ma Hongjun's martial spirit was first forced out, and the Fire Phoenix automatically possessed him, sending waves of heat surging towards everyone.
He couldn't hold out until the forty-fourth level.
Tang San also forced out his martial spirit and Eight Spider Lance at the forty and forty-fifth levels, respectively, causing Meng Shenji and the other two to exclaim in surprise.
However, his progress also stalled at the forty-fifth level. As for Xuan Mo, even when Meng Shenji and the others increased the pressure to thirty, he was still handling it with ease. Even his aura remained unaffected.
And when Meng Shenji increased the soul power pressure to forty, Xuan Mo remained motionless, as steady as a rock.
This surprised not only the three Meng Shenji but also everyone at Shrek, including Tang San and Ma Hongjun, who had just withdrawn.
"Fatty, how does Brother Mo's current pressure compare to yours?" Ning Rongrong, meanwhile, snuck up to Ma Hongjun's side, looking worriedly at the oppressed Xuan Mo.
"I'm not entirely sure, but based on my perception, he's probably around level 40."
Ma Hongjun gazed at Xuan Mo with a look of admiration.
"No, he's already level 42."
Zhao Wuji, standing behind Ma Hongjun, crossed his arms upon hearing Ma Hongjun's words.
He then looked solemnly at Xuan Mo, whose breathing had become erratic and whose sweat was dripping down.
Zhao Wuji, like the other teachers, was worried that Xuan Mo was simply holding on.
Meanwhile, Meng Shenji and the other three were communicating with each other.
"This student named Xuan Mo is incredible."
"Yes. His strength far surpasses the other two. It's no surprise that Yu Tianheng lost to him."
"So, what do you say? Should we continue?"
Meng Shenji, upon hearing Zhilin's voice transmission, glanced at Xuan Mo, whose spirit had yet to possess him. A flicker of satisfaction crossed his eyes.
"I think we need to force his spirit out. It's said his spirit, the Taotie Divine Bull, is even superior to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. Since we have this opportunity, we must see it."
Then, with Bai Baoshan and Zhilin's approval, Meng Shenji raised his spirit pressure to level 49, a seven-level jump in strength.
This sudden maneuver caused Xuan Mo to stumble, and he let out a muffled groan.
"Fuck!"
Xuan Mo cursed inwardly, unable to hold on. With a powerful, heavy aura, the Taotie Divine Bull automatically possessed him.
Now, under the pressure of level 49, Xuan Mo stood up again.
However, he didn't plan to test it any further. He estimated that his spirit, now possessed, would be enough to last until level 50, but that would be too much.
Xuan Mo quickly clasped his fists and stepped back, "Please, seniors, hold back. I 'll leave it at that." Seeing this, Meng Shenji and the other two stopped short. After all, since they had already said so, it wouldn't be a good idea to continue testing.
Furthermore, the three elders were already satisfied with the result, so they withdrew their spirit power.
Xuan Mo, seeing this, said, "Thank you, three members of the Education Committee, for your guidance!" and then withdrew.
Ning Rongrong looked at Xuan Mo, "Brother Mo, how did you feel just now?"
"Not bad, just a sudden surge of seventh-level spirit power, and it was a bit overwhelming."
Xuan Mo didn't care, speaking quietly in Ning Rongrong's ear so no one else could hear.
However, Xuan Mo had underestimated the hearing of those above the Soul Sage level. Just as Flanders' mouth twitched upon hearing this, he was about to step forward and apologize to the three members of the Education Committee on Xuan Mo's behalf.
"It's okay, it's okay!"
Meng Shenji and the other two waved their hands, unconcerned with such trivial matters.
They simply stroked their beards in satisfaction, their eyes filled with excitement as they looked at Xuan Mo.
They were delighted that Tiandou Royal Academy had found such a treasure.
So, Meng Shenji and the other two coughed and turned to Flender, saying, "Dean Flender, welcome! From today on, Tiandou Royal Academy is your home!"
But just then, an arrogant voice rang out from outside the Education Committee's door.
"Three Education Committee members, Tiandou Royal Academy isn't open to just anybody!"
Upon hearing this voice, Xuan Mo knew that troublemakers had arrived!
