"The assessment requires the five of you to work together. As long as you can last for the time it takes an incense stick to burn against me, even if only one person remains, you pass."
"Let me remind you beforehand, do not try to be clever. You won't be able to escape this range using speed, nor can you block my attacks alone. To pass the assessment, mutual cooperation is your only chance."
Upon hearing Zhao Wuji's words, Tang San and Xiao Wu didn't react much, but Dai Mubai was clearly surprised.
After thinking for a moment, he tentatively asked,
"Teacher Zhao, is this really okay? How about I do it instead."
Lasting for the time it takes an incense stick to burn under Zhao Wuji, a Soul Saint, with just the five of them?
This was clearly impossible!
Dai Mubai volunteering was certainly not out of kindness, but because he felt that if Zhao Wuji made a move, Luo Ye and the others would have no chance of passing the assessment.
If, due to Zhao Wuji's temporary excitement at seeing a worthy opponent, Luo Ye and the others couldn't enter Shrek and went to other academies instead, Dai Mubai would have nowhere to cry.
With Zhu Qing staying at Shrek Academy, he still had a chance to win his fiancée back, but if she left with Luo Ye, that hat of his would likely be permanent.
However, to Dai Mubai's despair, facing his request, Zhao Wuji waved his hand and said,
"It's decided. If you're worried they can't pass the assessment, you can tell them about my strength and characteristics so they can be prepared."
Seeing that Zhao Wuji had already lit the incense, Dai Mubai was stunned.
Helpless, he could only walk up to Luo Ye and the others with a stern face and say in a deep voice,
"Originally, this round of assessment was supposed to be a battle between me and you, but now Teacher Zhao is personally taking action. You can only pray for yourselves."
As he spoke, he glanced at Luo Ye, feeling a bit disappointed.
Dai Mubai had just been thinking of using the assessment opportunity to teach Luo Ye a good lesson, letting him know that yesterday was just an accident, and incidentally allowing Zhu Qing to see the gap between him and herself.
He didn't expect Zhao Wuji to directly interrupt his plan, and even potentially make him lose the chance to win Zhu Qing back.
Looking at his crestfallen appearance, Ning Rongrong smiled slightly and said,
"Is this Teacher Zhao like the teacher at the entrance, also a Soul Emperor level expert?"
Dai Mubai shook his head: "No."
Tang San felt a little relaxed upon hearing this and said with a chuckle,
"Then it's fine. With the five of us working together, as long as the strength gap isn't too great, lasting for the time it takes an incense stick to burn should be no problem."
Dai Mubai looked at him with an expression like he was looking at an idiot, and said with a cold laugh,
"Teacher Zhao isn't a Soul Emperor, but a seventy-sixth level Soul Saint! A beast spirit, a battle Soul Saint!"
"His strength is second only to Dean Flander, and he is the vice-dean of our Shrek Academy."
Tang San's pupils contracted slightly, and he subconsciously looked towards Zhao Wuji.
A Soul Saint level expert?
Even Xiao Wu said with some disbelief,
"He's seventy-sixth level? He looks much younger than the teacher at the entrance."
Dai Mubai snorted and said indifferently,
"Age never represents anything. Alright, you don't have much time. I will now tell you about Teacher Zhao's situation. As for whether you can pass the assessment, that depends on your ability."
"Of course, I hope you can pass this assessment and stay at Shrek Academy."
As he finished speaking, Dai Mubai turned his gaze to Zhu Qing. This sentence was clearly meant for her.
Unfortunately, Zhu Qing didn't even bother to look at him, her attention completely focused on Luo Ye.
Seeing this, Dai Mubai's mouth twitched slightly, and he became even more eager to win Zhu Qing back.
After he finished introducing Zhao Wuji's spirit situation, Luo Ye's gaze swept over everyone, and he smiled slightly and said,
"Everyone, let's introduce our spirits and spirit power. It will be easier to coordinate later. I'll go first, Luo Ye, my spirit is the Spiritual Eye, a thirty-second level control-type battle spirit master."
Zhu Qing followed closely: "Zhu Qing, my beast spirit is the Nether Spirit Cat, a twenty-seventh level agility-attack type battle spirit master."
"Tang San, my tool spirit is the Blue Silver Grass, a twenty-ninth level control-type battle spirit master."
"Xiao Wu, my beast spirit is the Soft Bone Rabbit, a twenty-ninth level strong-attack type battle spirit master."
"Ning Rongrong, my tool spirit is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, a twenty-sixth level support-type tool spirit master."
As her voice fell, everyone's gaze turned to Ning Rongrong, even the uninvolved Dai Mubai was no exception.
"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda? So, you are from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"
Tang San looked at Ning Rongrong with great surprise.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda spirit is a inherited spirit, and only the direct descendants of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can awaken it.
Yu Xiaogang had introduced this spirit to him before. Among support-type spirits, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda could definitely be described as overwhelmingly powerful.
However, what Tang San didn't know was that his surprised look had already caused Ning Rongrong to misunderstand.
Thinking of what Luo Ye had said in his diary, the reason the Tang San in his previous life was able to grow so quickly was by using her and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
As a result, after Tang San became stronger, he not only didn't repay her, but he also killed Chen Xin and Gu Rong, and even ruthlessly annihilated the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Just thinking about that situation, Ning Rongrong wished she could kill Tang San right now, but unfortunately, Chen Xin had left after sending her to Soto City, and according to Luo Ye's description, she couldn't make a move on Tang San for the time being.
In Ning Rongrong's opinion, Tang San's current reaction was probably already him trying to get closer to her in order to gain the help of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
But in order not to let Luo Ye notice anything unusual and expose the existence of the diary copy, she could only force herself to suppress this urge and force a smile, saying,
"Don't look, I'm no different from everyone else. I ran away from home. Let's pass the current test first."
"By the way, my spirit ability is to respectively enhance everyone's speed and strength attributes. It can increase by thirty percent and last for the time it takes an incense stick to burn."
Getting a thirty percent increase in speed and strength was already a considerable support effect.
Especially since Ning Rongrong was currently only a two-ring Soul Grandmaster. When she became a Soul Saint, the amplification effect would reach a terrifying eighty percent.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this exaggerated support effect that there was a limit of cultivating to a maximum of seven rings, a Soul Saint.
Luo Ye clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention and said,
"Later, please trouble Xiao Wu to be the main attacker, Tang San to control, Zhu Qing to flank and contain, and I will look for an opportunity to give him a big one."
"One of my spirit abilities can link everyone together, allowing our cooperation to be very tacit. Coupled with the support effect of Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, we might not be without the power to fight."
