Chapter 101: Let Tang San Be the Captain
Zhao Wuji waved his large hand and said, "The Dean isn't here. What I say goes. Do you dare to defy me?"
Looking at Zhao Wuji's extremely threatening gaze, Dai Mubai immediately backed down. The feeling of being beaten by Zhao Wuji was not a pleasant one.
Although he was very unwilling, he could only let Zhao Wuji have his way.
There would be plenty of opportunities to fight Aotian in the future, but if he was beaten by Zhao Wuji today, he would be disgraced beyond belief.
However, the thought that a delicate beauty like Gu Yuena might be brutalized by Zhao Wuji pained him.
Zhao Wuji was very satisfied seeing that Dai Mubai didn't dare to speak up again. He took out an incense stick, lit it, and stuck it in the ground.
"Little ones, time is running out," Zhao Wuji said teasingly. He sat down again, watching Aotian's group with great interest, wondering how much of his strength he should use later so as not to injure these kids too badly.
Just then, the teacher from the first test walked over with another teacher.
"Young lady, let us help you treat your foot injury."
"Okay, thank you," said Ning Rongrong.
The healing-type Soul Master released his Martial Soul and began to heal Ning Rongrong.
Seeing this, Dai Mubai waved his hand and said, "Tang San, Aotian, all of you, come over."
When Dai Mubai saw everyone gathered around and looking at him, a sense of superiority washed over him. He said, "I can't help you this time. Teacher Zhao is taking action personally; even I can't withstand him."
"Just because you can't withstand him doesn't mean we can't," Xiao Wu said disdainfully.
Dai Mubai glanced at Xiao Wu indifferently and said, "The ignorant are fearless. Do you have any idea what Teacher Zhao's strength is?"
Xiao Wu said, "I don't care what his strength is. Even if he were a Titled Douluo, he'd be nothing special."
She was deliberately arguing with Dai Mubai to vent Zhu Zhuqing's anger. Whatever Dai Mubai said, she would oppose.
With Aotian there to clean up her messes, she wasn't afraid to make even the most outrageous boasts.
Dai Mubai looked at Xiao Wu as if she were an idiot and said, "Do you think Shrek Academy is like your previous Junior Academy? The teachers at your old academy were probably only Great Soul Masters or Soul Elders, right? Teacher Zhao is a Soul Saint, a level 76 Soul Saint, and he possesses a powerful Beast Martial Soul. Within Shrek Academy, besides the Dean, Teacher Zhao is the strongest. Now, do you still have any courage?"
After speaking, he looked at Xiao Wu with a smirk, wanting to see if this equally arrogant little girl would be scared.
Xiao Wu pouted and said, "A Soul Saint? Is that supposed to be impressive? I just said that even if he were a Titled Douluo, he'd be nothing special. Did you not hear me clearly, or is there something wrong with your ears?"
Dai Mubai's face turned ashen. A wave of anger erupted in his chest, making him extremely uncomfortable.
This little girl's words were too sharp and harsh.
Aotian and Gu Yuena's expressions were very calm, while Tang San and Ning Rongrong looked solemn, their brows tightly furrowed.
"Xiao Wu, don't talk nonsense. A Soul Saint is not someone we can possibly resist. We should hurry and figure out how to last for the time it takes for one incense stick to burn," Tang San said.
Ning Rongrong nodded in agreement. "I know very well how terrifying a Soul Saint is. Even if the three of you are Soul Elders, he could crush you with one finger."
Finally seeing someone more sensible, Dai Mubai's mood improved a little.
The Soul Master who was healing Ning Rongrong said, "Teacher Zhao is going to assess you personally? Then you'd better be careful."
Dai Mubai said, "Teacher Zhao has a nickname in the Soul Master world: the Immovable Bright King, Zhao Wuji. You must bring out your greatest strength and coordinate well with each other. Otherwise, you won't have a chance to enter Shrek Academy. Alright, introduce your Martial Souls to each other and get acquainted."
Tang San was the first to speak. "Tang San, Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass, a level 30 Control-type Great Soul Master."
Ning Rongrong glanced at everyone and said, "Ning Rongrong, Martial Soul Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, a level 26 support-type Great Soul Master. I can boost your strength and speed by thirty percent."
"Your Martial Soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?" Tang San said in shock.
He had heard Grandmaster speak of this Martial Soul. It was hailed as the number one support-type Martial Soul on the Douluo Continent, possessing incredible support abilities, and was the kind of teammate every Soul Master dreamed of.
Finally, someone who recognized its value. Ning Rongrong revealed a sweet smile and said, "I will do my best to support you. This battle is up to you all."
Tang San nodded, his confidence suddenly increasing significantly.
Although their opponent was a Soul Saint, with a thirty percent boost to his speed and strength, plus his hard-to-guard-against hidden weapons and poison, it might not be impossible to last for one incense stick's time.
Besides, there was still Aotian's group.
Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Ning Rongrong all looked towards Aotian and Gu Yuena.
Meanwhile, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing both looked at Aotian.
Dai Mubai frowned, feeling a little displeased. Why did all three girls seem to revolve around Aotian?
Aotian spoke, "Aotian, Martial Soul Golden Dragon, a level 31 Battle Soul Elder."
Gu Yuena followed, "Gu Yuena, Martial Soul Silver Dragon, a level 31 Battle Soul Elder."
Seeing that Aotian had spoken, Xiao Wu also said, "Xiao Wu, Martial Soul Rabbit, a level 31 Battle Soul Elder."
Zhu Zhuqing said, "Zhu Zhuqing, Martial Soul Nether Spirit Cat, a level 27 Agility Attack-type Great Soul Master."
It's actually a dragon! Dai Mubai's estimation of Aotian rose several notches. If there was any Beast Martial Soul that could contend with the White Tiger Martial Soul, it would be the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul.
He had never heard of this Golden Dragon Martial Soul, but he figured it couldn't be weak.
"Her name is Gu Yuena, and her Martial Soul is also a dragon-type." Dai Mubai was astonished by Gu Yuena's powerful talent.
Even Zhao Wuji, sitting in the distance, couldn't help but show a shocked expression.
He understood very well that for these little kids to have made it this far, their age definitely couldn't exceed thirteen. Yet, three of them were already Soul Elders.
Just what kind of monstrous talent was this?
Moreover, there were two dragon-type Martial Souls. Zhao Wuji was already growing impatient, eager to experience the capabilities of these little kids.
"I hope they can give me a surprise," he thought.
Dai Mubai said, "Teacher Zhao's Martial Soul is the Mighty Vajra Bear. His greatest strengths are power and defense. He's also skilled in gravity control. This is all I can tell you. You're on your own now."
He looked at Gu Yuena, his gaze sincere, and said, "Take care!"
Gu Yuena glanced at him indifferently and said nothing.
The atmosphere suddenly fell into silence.
Ning Rongrong hesitated for a moment, then said, "I have some experience in team combat. I think we should first choose a captain. We must have good chemistry and can't fight individually."
Aotian smiled. "Then you can be the captain."
"Me?" Ning Rongrong pointed at herself with her index finger and shook her head. "I can't. I'm just a support-type Soul Master; I'm not suited to be the captain."
Tang San pondered for a moment, then spoke up, "I think I'm suitable to be the captain."
Seeing everyone's gazes drawn to him, Tang San said, "My teacher once said that among all types of Soul Masters, a control-type Soul Master is the most suitable to be captain."
Aotian nodded. "Alright, you can be the captain then. I believe in your ability. You'll definitely be able to defeat Zhao Wuji."
Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Ning Rongrong were simultaneously speechless.
Truly, the ignorant are fearless!
It was already going to be incredibly difficult just to last for the duration of one incense stick, yet he was actually thinking of defeating Zhao Wuji. What a pipe dream.
Even the way Zhu Zhuqing looked at Aotian became a little strange.
