Chapter 66
On the way to the fourth test, only Tang San and Dai Mubai were familiar with each other. The two of them chatted as they walked, discussing the recruitment of students and the academy.
The others just listened. They would only interrupt when they encountered something they wanted to know.
Very quickly, everyone had a certain understanding of the academy.
First was the number of students they recruited. Since the establishment of the Shrek Academy, in the past twenty years, they had only recruited forty students.
On average, there were only two students a year. Before this, the academy hadn't recruited any new students for two years.
At this time, there were only three people still studying in the academy!
It could be said that the Shrek Academy was the only Soul Master academy in the entire continent that had more teachers than students.
Furthermore, the Shrek Academy was extremely poor!
The Martial Soul Hall didn't give any subsidies to Soul Masters above Rank 40. The teachers in the academy were all paupers. Their salaries were all earned by Flanders.
Currently, the academy's main source of income was Dai Mubai's sponsorship and Flanders's grocery store in Soto City. It was truly miserable.
In the past two years, there hadn't been any new students, and the teachers' salaries had to be paid as usual. It could be said that the Shrek Academy was so poor that it was about to close down!
In fact, the Balak Kingdom's royal family wanted to sponsor the academy. However, they required the graduates to be loyal to the royal family for three years!
This was something impossible for Flanders, so he directly rejected it.
Furthermore, the Shrek Academy was somewhat incompatible with the other academies. They were ostracized, so in the end, they had become poor.
As they discussed along the way, the six of them quickly arrived at the location of the fourth test.
This was a small empty space, about two hundred square meters. A middle-aged man in his fifties was sitting in the middle of a chair.
Unlike the previous teachers who were full of energy, this fellow was asleep and was even snoring loudly.
This was the Immovable Wisdom King, Zhao Wuji.
"Cough cough."
Dai Mubai coughed awkwardly. "Teacher Zhao, I've brought some people for the third test."
"Huh?"
Zhao Wuji opened his eyes and looked at Lin Feng and the others. He was slightly surprised. "There are so many people coming to the fourth stage this year?"
As he spoke, Zhao Wuji stood up from his chair.
He was not tall, and his appearance was very ordinary. However, his sturdy figure gave people a strong sense of oppression. Looking from afar, it felt as if they were looking at a bear!
"Teacher Zhao, they all came straight from the first stage. All of them are above level 25," Dai Mubai reminded.
Hearing this, Zhao Wuji's eyes lit up, and his originally lazy body tensed up a little.
Then, he let out a barbell-like laugh. "All five of you are above level 25. Not bad, not bad!
My name is Zhao Wuji, and I'm the invigilator for the fourth test! "
"My trial is testing a Soul Master's actual combat ability!
Originally, I was just an invigilator. As long as you guys can last an incense stick's worth of time against Mu Bai, you will pass. "
"However, since all of you came straight from the first stage, I will personally play with you guys!"
"Now, I will give you guys an incense stick's worth of time. The five of you will understand each other and come up with a strategy at the same time!
After an incense stick's worth of time, the test will begin. "
"And the content of the test is very simple. The five of you will come together. As long as one of you can last an incense stick's worth of time against me, the five of you will pass!"
After speaking, Zhao Wuji seemed to have made something out of nothing. He grabbed an incense stick, lit it, and stuck it on the ground.
Dai Mubai said hesitantly, "Mr. Zhao, that's a little inappropriate."
"I don't care what you think. I want what I think!"
Zhao Wuji glared at him. "Now that the Dean is not in the academy, I am the boss. I have the final say!"
"It's not …" Dai Mubai wanted to say something but hesitated.
Zhao Wuji was an impatient person. He directly shouted, "If you have something to say, say it quickly!"
"Teacher Zhao, I … I feel that an incense stick's worth of time is too short."
"???" Zhao Wuji was a little confused. An incense stick's worth of time is too short?
Who are you looking down on, Dai Mubai?
In any case, I am a rank 76 Soul Sage. The strongest of the five twelve-year-old children is at most a Soul Grandmaster. Even if he stands there and gets hit, nothing will happen to him!
With that thought, Zhao Wuji reprimanded, "Little Bai, you have guts. You actually dare to look down on me. Tomorrow, I will give you a private lesson on combat!"
"Teacher Zhao, that's not what I meant!"
Dai Mubai hurriedly said. "Among the five of them, Lin Feng's second soul ring is a ten thousand year soul ring!"
"The soul skill attached to a ten thousand year soul ring is definitely very strong. That's why I feel that an incense stick's worth of time is too short!"
"What?!
His second soul ring is a ten thousand year soul ring?! "Zhao Wuji looked at Lin Feng with a face of disbelief.
Ning Rongrong was stunned. She looked left and right. "Who?
Who has a ten thousand year soul ring?! "
Among the few people present, only she and Zhao Wuji hadn't seen the situation at the village entrance. Zhu Zhuqing had already been shocked once before, so his expression was only slightly strange.
At this moment, Lin Feng realized that everyone was looking at him. He helplessly spread out his hands. "What are you all looking at me for?
It's just a ten thousand year soul ring. What's so strange about it? "
"What?!
You have a ten thousand year soul ring?!
I don't believe it! "Ning Rongrong circled Lin Feng, her face full of disbelief.
Zhao Wuji was even more straightforward. He walked in front of everyone in two steps, then looked at Lin Feng. "You're Lin Feng, right? Show us your soul ring."
Sigh, when you're strong, you're always so eye-catching.
Lin Feng didn't want to act pretentious. Someone asked him to!
With that thought, Lin Feng's body trembled slightly. Two soul rings, one yellow and one black, instantly appeared.
It was unknown whether it was intentional or not, but when the soul rings appeared, they happened to bump into Ning Rongrong, causing her to stagger back a few steps.
However, she didn't have time to think about whether Lin Feng did it on purpose. She was so shocked that she couldn't even speak.
What kind of joke was this?!
His second soul ring was a ten thousand year soul ring. How could a soul master withstand the powerful energy of a soul ring?
Why didn't he explode?!
Just like Ning Rongrong, Zhao Wuji also sighed. Why didn't Lin Feng explode from the enormous energy?
Could it be that a ten thousand year soul beast sacrificed it to him?
Or could it be that Lin Feng's innate talent was extraordinary?
Or could it be that his body's composition was very special?
In any case, with Zhao Wuji's intellect, he couldn't understand what was going on at this moment.
Everyone stared at the black soul ring until Lin Feng put it away. Only then did they come back to their senses.
Zhao Wuji said in a deep voice, "He's really a monster among monsters. I've never seen anyone with a ten thousand year soul ring as their second soul ring!"
"However, a Soul Grandmaster is a Soul Grandmaster. A ten thousand year soul ring can't change anything. The conditions are the same!
As long as the five of you can last against me for an incense stick's worth of time, you'll pass the test! "
"Little Bai, introduce me to them."
After saying that, Zhao Wuji stood in the middle of the field and waited.
