For a long time, Luo Mu was able to notice two people's gazes constantly sizing him up, clearly Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.
In order to get out of this predicament, Luo Mu had to start a conversation. "Big brother Dai, is there only a total of four stages in the entrance exam?”
Dai Mubai nodded, saying: You've already experienced the first stage. It was to eliminate examinees whose spirit power was below rank-21 or who were over thirteen years old. This level filtered out the most people. The second round was to conduct a soul power evaluation and martial soul appraisal. Just having powerful soul power was not enough to prove one's future development potential. This test was mainly to test one's martial soul. Only those with a martial soul with sufficient development potential and a soul master who had cultivated in the correct direction could enter the third test. Of course, if the martial soul was extremely special, it could also be selected. This was how Little Ao was nominated.”
"What about the fourth stage?" Bai Qin 'er didn't care about anything else and directly asked about the fourth test that they were going to face.
Dai Mubai directly explained the fourth trial,"The fourth trial tests actual combat experience. Some students had good spirits and good control over their spirits. However, he had grown up in a noble family and was pampered. He had no understanding of the outside world, let alone fighting. The academy would not accept such students. The dean said that he didn't want anyone who was spoiled.”
Hearing Dai Mubai's words, the few people following him simultaneously fell silent for a moment, but it was still Xiao Wu who couldn't help speaking first, This was too strict. No wonder the teacher at the door said that you only accept monsters here. Only monsters could pass these four tests. I would like to ask, how many students does Shrek Academy have now? How many students could they recruit every year?”
This time it was Dai Mubai's turn to reveal a wry smile. "In the twenty years since our Shrek Academy was founded, we've accepted a total of forty-two students. On average, there were a little more than two a year. If all seven of you are accepted this year, it will be a record. Before this, the academy had not accepted any students for two years. Currently, there are three students in the academy, including me.”
"Three?" Apart from Zhu Zhuqing and Bai Xin 'er, everyone who heard it almost simultaneously cried out in alarm.
"In the entire Douluo Continent, we can be considered the only academy with more teachers than students. Even if we accept you, the number of students in our academy will never exceed the number of teachers.”
"In that case, how can the Academy survive? Without a source of students, there should be no income.”
"Otherwise why do you think the Academy would be in such a small village? It was because they lacked funds. If it wasn't for my family's sponsorship, I'm afraid the academy would have closed down last year. If we still can't recruit students this year, then the three of us will be Shrek Academy's last batch of students.”
"Then why doesn't the academy relax the requirements for the entrance exam? I think there are quite a few people who signed up." Ning Rongrong said doubtfully.
Dai Mubai's face revealed a trace of respect,"The dean said, rather lack than quantity, no matter when, even if Shrek Academy closes its doors, it absolutely won't accept trash. Only monsters. Do you know what the requirements for graduation are? We're neither an intermediate Spirit Master academy nor an advanced Spirit Master academy. Because our requirements are different from theirs. We only want students under the age of thirteen, and they must be exceptionally talented. And the academy's graduation requirement was to surpass the fortieth rank, and moreover to surpass the fortieth rank before the age of twenty, reaching the level of a Spirit Ancestor before being allowed to graduate.”
"The academy accepted a total of sixty-two students, but only fourteen of them actually graduated. After these fourteen people left the academy, all of them became figures that attracted worldwide attention. The most outstanding one among them was now already the youngest elder in Spirit Hall, his authority second only to the Supreme Pontiff. The rest who didn't graduate were unable to complete rank-40 cultivation before the age of 20 or died while hunting spirit beasts. The dean had said that if one was not at level 41, one should not go out and embarrass him.”
Speaking to the end, Dai Mubai's mood clearly became agitated. Towards that Shrek Academy dean, he was clearly extremely respectful.
"Now I want to meet my principal.”
"The Balak Kingdom's royal family originally intended to sponsor the academy, but demanded that the students graduating from the academy must be loyal to the royal family, which was directly rejected by the dean. Our Shrek Academy is incompatible with the other academies and has been ostracized. That's why we've become like this.”
"We're here." Dai Mubai stopped. At this moment, they arrived at another empty space. This place was much smaller than the second stage, only about 200 square meters. A middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties was dozing off on a chair.
"Teacher Zhao, I've brought some people here for the fourth test.”
"Hmm? Someone came to the fourth stage this year? There are actually seven of them." The middle-aged man opened his sleepy eyes and looked at the seven young men and women in front of him with some surprise, as if he had encountered something unbelievable.
"Not only did the seven of them come to the fourth trial, they were also exempted from the second and third trials.”
Teacher Zhao's eyes lit up and he stood up from his chair. He was not tall and had an ordinary appearance. However, it looked extremely sturdy. Even shorter than the twelve year old Tang San, his height unexpectedly gave people a majestic feeling.
"All seven of them are above level 25. Not bad, not bad. Looks like there are quite a few little monsters this year. This is the final test. You'll officially become a member of Shrek Academy after passing my test. However, my test isn't that easy to pass. Every Spirit Master must possess actual combat experience. What I am testing is your ability in this aspect.”
Smiling, his gaze swept over the seven people in front of him, warmly looking at the four," I'm called Zhao Wuji, since you seven all passed the second and third tests without testing, then I'll personally accompany you to play. Now, I'll give you 15 minutes to understand each other and discuss. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the test began. The content of the test is for the seven of you to work together to block my attack for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. As long as one of you can last until the end, you will pass. I hope you understand that you shouldn't try any tricks. No one can use speed to escape this area. "At the same time, I can also remind you that it's impossible for you to block my attack with your own strength. Cooperating with each other is your only chance of success.”
"Teacher Zhao, this isn't very good." Dai Mubai said hesitantly.
Zhao Wuji glared at him, saying: The dean isn't here, and I'm the most powerful in the academy. Alright, I'm going to light some incense. You don't have much time. Prepare yourselves. Xiao Bai, you can also tell them about my strength so that they can be prepared.”
After saying this, he took out an incense stick from somewhere. He pinched the incense stick with his finger and lit it up. In the blink of an eye, the incense stick was inserted into the ground without trembling.
Luo Mu smiled when he saw this. A ball of fire began to burn in the depths of his heart.
As if seeing the fighting spirit in Luo Mu's eyes, Dai Mubai thought Luo Mu didn't understand the situation and hurriedly pulled. "Come over here."
The seven people gathered around him. "This time I can't help you either. He did not expect Teacher Zhao to personally take action.”
"This teacher Zhao wouldn't be like that teacher at the door, a Spirit Emperor level power, right?”
Dai Mubai shook his head, saying: ”
"Then don't be afraid. No matter what, the six of us also have strength close to thirtieth rank, plus Luo Mu this Spirit Elder, seven against one, as long as the difference in strength isn't too great, isn't it enough to last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn?”
Dai Mubai glanced at her, his expression a bit like he was looking at an idiot,"If you think teacher Zhao's attack is so easy to block, then you're gravely mistaken. That's right, teacher Zhao wasn't a sixtieth ranked Spirit Emperor level Spirit Master, he was a seventy sixth ranked Spirit Sage. Beast Martial Soul, Battle Soul Saint. He was the vice principal of the academy, and his overall strength was second only to the principal.”
"Originally Teacher Zhao was only in charge of the fourth round's invigilation, that's all, your opponent should be me. As long as you can last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, you will pass. However, who knew that he would have to personally take action today?”
"Probably because they think you might not be able to withstand seven consecutive battles.”Luo Mu looked at Dai Mubai's body, shaking her head.
"Um…maybe." Dai Mubai also nodded in agreement at Luo Mu's gaze, but very soon his expression became serious.
"Then you're in big trouble. Teacher Zhao's spirit is the Mighty Vajra Bear, a powerful beast spirit. His entire body was flawless, his defensive power extremely terrifying, even Spirit Masters of the same rank as him would find it very difficult to break through his defense and cause him harm. Even though speed isn't Teacher Zhao's forte, the difference in spirit power between you and him is too great, so it's impossible for you to be faster than him in this aspect. Teacher Zhao's strongest points were his offensive and defensive abilities. In the academy, he had the nickname of Acalanātha. Let alone the four of you, even with me, we might not be able to block his attack for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Right now, I just hope that Teacher Zhao won't be so serious when he attacks you.”
No weaknesses. These four simple words already spoke of Zhao Wuji's formidable place.
Ning Rongrong suddenly exclaimed,"He's actually Motionless Bright King Zhao Wuji." He had been missing on the continent for ten years. She did not expect him to be a teacher at Shrek Academy. Originally, Motionless Bright King Zhao Wuji had once had a grudge with Spirit Hall, Spirit Hall wanted to punish him, but he was forced to rush out from the siege of sixteen bishops. After that, the matter was left unsettled. Spirit Hall's bishops were all at least sixtieth ranked Spirit Emperor level powers, at that time Zhao Wuji should also only have been sixtieth ranked. Isn't he even more powerful now?"
Dai Mubai silently nodded, saying: "At the very least, I've never seen Teacher Zhao use his full strength. So, you guys are on your own. Of Teacher Zhao's seven spirit rings, the first two were hundred year spirit rings, the third and fourth were thousand year spirit rings, and the last three were all ten thousand year spirit rings. Moreover, the seven spirit rings all added attack and defense. You should be able to imagine how terrifying he is. "Now, you should get to know each other first. Report your names and abilities and see how you can best cooperate to withstand Teacher Zhao's exam.”
"I'm called Tang San, tool spirit Blue Silver Grass, twenty ninth ranked control system Spirit Master.”
Seeing Tang San speak, Xiao Wu was the second to say: "Xiao Wu, Beast Spirit Rabbit, twenty ninth ranked power attack system Spirit Master.”
"Luo Mu, variant spirit wind, thirty first ranked power attack system Spirit Elder.”
Qin 'er looked at Luo Mu and said lightly,"Bai Xin 'er, Tool Spirit White Dagger, twenty ninth ranked agility attack system Spirit Master.”
Ning Rongrong hesitated for a moment, then said: "Ning Rongrong, Tool Spirit Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, twenty sixth ranked auxiliary tool Spirit Master.”
Little Xin looked at Ning Rongrong and smiled, saying: "Lan Xin, tool spirit Guyueqin, twenty ninth ranked support system tool spirit master.”
The last Zhu Zhuqing was still cold and indifferent, saying indifferently: "Zhu Zhuqing, Beast Spirit Hell Civet, twenty seventh ranked agility attack system Spirit Master.”
Four of them had their eyes fixed on one person. The one who attracted the others 'attention was that short haired girl Ning Rongrong.
"Your spirit is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Then that means you were born in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?”
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda spirit was passed down from generation to generation. In the entire Douluo Continent, only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's direct descendants could possibly possess it.
Master's evaluation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda tool spirit was only one simple sentence: It was the most powerful assistive tool martial soul in the Pan Continent.
He was the best companion of all battle-type soul masters. Among the Spirit Hall's six symbols, Grandmaster's token didn't have three symbols, one of which was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. It could be seen how great this sect's prestige in Spirit World was.
Ning Rongrong stuck out her cute little tongue, saying: "Stop looking. I'm no different from an ordinary person. I snuck out from home. Let's wait until we pass the test in front of us. My spirit is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, two spirit rings. It could increase everyone's speed and strength attributes. The increase was about 30%. It won't be a problem for it to last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."
"And me, I'm also a support-type. I can increase your soul power strength and heal you.”On the side, Little Xin saw everyone's gazes focused on Ning Rongrong, and immediately reacted by hurriedly raising her hand.
But because of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's formidable auxiliary system spirit here, the few people also didn't pay too much attention to Little Xin.
"En, Xiao Xin's two spirit rings are respectively the first spirit ring with spirit power strength enhancement and a small amount of attack effect, and also the second spirit ring with healing injuries and spirit power recovery.”
Luo Mu patted Xiao Xin's little head and introduced Xiao Xin's support effects to the few of them.
Tang San also looked at Xiao Xin when he heard this, There was such an auxiliary effect? How much did his soul power increase?”
"Probably rank two soul power." Little Xin said with some uncertainty.
Tang San thought of a possibility and his eyes lit up.
"En, Little Xin can allow the group members to temporarily increase their soul power by two ranks!”Luo Mu said with certainty.
"Impossible." Ning Rongrong immediately cried out.
Luo Mu was not angry. He nodded and said,""It's true."
Hearing Luo Mu's confirmation, almost everyone's eyes lit up. They even looked at the lively and shy little girl, Xiao Xin, in surprise.
"Then can Xiao Wu, Bai Xin 'er, and I temporarily reach the Spirit Elder level?”Tang San asked again.
"Of course, Little Xin can even raise my spirit power by two ranks.”Luo Mu said, showing off in his tone.
"This kind of support effect doesn't have a level?”Zhu Zhuqing thought further and asked.
"Yes! In my music, as long as you're my teammate, no matter what rank you are, you'll be able to raise your soul power by two ranks. Also, if it's an enemy that I think is my enemy, my sound wave will also cause an attack effect!”Little Xin's face immediately blushed under the admiration of so many people. She said happily and proudly.
As soon as he said this, their eyes lit up. Increases damage to the enemy.
According to this effect, if Little Xin appeared on the battlefield…perhaps the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's support first brother position…
The few of them immediately dismissed this idea. This question was too serious, so it was better not to think about it.
But Ning Rongrong was staring dumbfoundedly at Little Xin. She was somewhat unable to imagine that this young girl actually had such heaven-defying support effects, even to a certain extent, even more precious than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!
