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 Master, 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 Heaven 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 Martial 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 Martial Spirit is Soul, I guess I'm a Rank thirty-one support system Spirit Master."
"Original Martial 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 Martial 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 Sect?" 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 Sect could possess the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Facing everyone's gaze, Ning Rongrong gracefully introduced her situation and Martial 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 Martial 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 Martial Spirit first.
"Seven Treasures have a name, first: Strength."
With a soft Martial 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 Martial 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 Master had once said that if there was a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect 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...
