Douluo Continent: Taking Tang San as a disciple, with a ten-thousand-fold return for teaching him.

With a deafening, muffled sound, large cracks appeared on the Soul Arena, and dust rose everywhere. When the dust settled, only Zhao Wuji remained standing steadily on the Soul Arena, having already withdrawn his Martial Soul.

"You little guys are much more outstanding than I imagined. Congratulations on passing the final assessment. From now on, you are students in the Monster Teaching Building of Shrek Academy."

A satisfied smile appeared on Zhao Wuji's rugged face. He had many wounds on his body, some of which were even bleeding black blood, but Zhao Wuji didn't care at all.

Opposite Zhao Wuji, Tang San and his group of four had all collapsed to the ground. All of them had exhausted their soul power in the battle just now, and some wounds could be seen on their bodies, but they were only scratches and not as serious as Zhao Wuji's injuries.

The arena was littered with traces of battle, the most common being the shattered remnants of Blue Silver Grass, followed by the gleaming light of hidden weapons such as silver needles and arrows.

Despite their best efforts, Tang San and his companions were unable to withstand Zhao Wuji's attack. They couldn't even last half an incense stick's time, let alone a full incense stick's time. This was only because Zhao Wuji deliberately held back. The gap between a Great Soul Master and a Soul Saint cannot be bridged by any technique.

"Oscar, come here!"

Zhao Wuji suddenly said in a deep voice.

Oscar immediately stepped onto the arena and asked, "Teacher Zhao, is there something you need?"

Zhao Wuji curled his lip and said, "When did you become so clueless?"

Oscar grinned and said, "Teacher Zhao, you want sausages, right?"

After saying that, Oscar immediately activated his martial spirit and gave Zhao Wuji sausages and hunting sausages.

"Super Recovery Sausage!"

"Tender and delicious baby sausages!"

After handing the sausage and the hunting sausage to Zhao Wuji, Oscar smiled and said, "Teacher Zhao, this is two silver soul coins in total!"

Zhao Wuji glared at him angrily: "What are you doing?"

Oscar's smile vanished abruptly: "Teacher Zhao, I charge per sausage and ham sausage..."

Zhao Wuji angrily said, "Who do you think you are? Two are not enough! Give me two more, and two for everyone here!"

Oscar beamed with delight: "Alright!"

After eating the sausage and the hunting sausage, Zhao Wuji seemed to be in much better condition. In fact, his injuries were not particularly serious. Even without Oscar's sausage, with his powerful self-healing ability, those minor injuries were nothing.

But with so many people watching, it's best to recover as soon as possible and get rid of this disheveled appearance.

"It seems that Teacher Zhao is much more rational than we thought," Chen Luo said.

Flander smiled slightly: "Don't be fooled by his impulsive appearance; he's actually more steady than anyone else."

"If he hadn't been so prudent, he would have died long ago during the Spirit Hall's siege."

Chen Luo laughed and said, "Then why are you still here?"

Flanders calmly replied, "It's better to be safe than sorry. The consequences would be too severe for us to bear."

Chen Luo nodded slightly, thinking to himself, "Yes, a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School member and a man with a hammer."

The entrance exam for Tang San and his classmates was not much different from the Shrek Academy entrance exam in the book that Chen Luo remembered. If there was any difference, the academy environment was vastly different, and the strength gap between Soul Saints and Great Soul Masters was extremely exaggerated.

Even Tang San, with his cheat-like abilities, was helpless against this absolute difference in strength.

The main reason is that Zhao Wuji was very serious during the battle. Even though he gave Tang San and the others many opportunities to show their skills, the overall battle situation was always under Zhao Wuji's control.

Zhao Wuji can't afford to be careless; what if he accidentally kills Tang San and the others?

On the surface, Tang San and his companions' battle with Zhao Wuji was spectacular, but anyone with a little insight could actually detect a faint salty smell of seawater, because what Zhao Wuji released was no longer water, but the sea.

After Tang San and the others received the sausages from Oscar, they gradually regained their strength. Zhao Wuji did not leave during this time, but waited silently in the same spot.

After seeing that Tang San and the others were alright, Zhao Wuji slowly said, "Those under the age of twelve and with a soul power level of twenty or above, I can give you another chance to challenge me. If your performance satisfies me, you can also enter the Monster Teaching Building!"

Upon hearing Zhao Wuji's words, several students immediately perked up, but none of them stepped forward.

Being under twelve years old and having a soul power level of twenty or above is only the threshold for entering the Monster Teaching Building. Whether one can actually enter the Monster Teaching Building still requires passing a series of tests.

If someone reaches level 25 in soul power within the prescribed age, they can directly proceed to the final assessment, like Tang San and his friends.

Besides Tang San and his group, there were a few other students who had reached the threshold of the Monster Teaching Building, but their soul power level had not reached level 25, so they needed to undergo a series of assessments. Without exception, they were all eliminated in the assessments.

Those assessments all test students' control over their soul power. Having soul power is the most basic requirement, controlling soul power is essential, and using soul power is the ultimate goal. This is also the purpose of the assessments at the Monster Teaching Building.

Seeing that no one stepped forward, Zhao Wuji's face flashed with disappointment, and he prepared to leave.

Just then, a loud, hoarse voice suddenly rang out: "Could you give me a chance? I'm twelve years old, and my soul power level is nineteen. I'm just a little bit away from level twenty..."

Zhao Wuji looked toward the source of the sound with some surprise, and saw a thin boy standing up in the stands.

Not only Zhao Wuji's attention was drawn to the boy, but Chen Luo, Flander, and the other students in the stands also focused their gaze on him.

The slender boy possessed a maturity far beyond his years, seemingly unconcerned about the gazes of others, and looked Zhao Wuji in the eye with utmost seriousness: "Teacher, could you give me a chance?"

Zhao Wuji laughed, a very happy laugh: "Okay, come down!"

Upon seeing Zhao Wuji agree, the boy immediately showed an excited expression and hurriedly left the spectator stands to head to the Soul Arena. He was only twelve years old and could not completely hide his emotions.

Upon arriving at the Soul Arena, the boy politely bowed and greeted, "Hello, teacher. My name is Yu Xiuyuan, my martial soul is White Snake, and my soul power level is nineteen!"

Zhao Wuji nodded slightly, showing Yu Xiuyuan the utmost respect: "Zhao Wuji, Martial Soul: Mighty Vajra Bear, Level 76 Battle Soul Saint!"

Chapter 34 Opportunities Don't Always Come

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Yu Xiuyuan activated his Martial Soul. As his Soul Power fluctuated, Yu Xiuyuan's body was gradually covered with white scales, and his eyes turned into eerie snake pupils.

A yellow spirit ring slowly rose from beneath Yu Xiuyuan's feet, symbolizing Yu Xiuyuan's strength as a one-ring spirit master.

Even at level nineteen, it's only one ring.

"A one-ring Soul Master daring to challenge a seven-ring Soul Saint, this courage far surpasses that of many of his peers." From the stands, Chen Luo's gaze remained fixed on Yu Xiuyuan as he slowly spoke.

Flanders said, "It's just opportunism."

Chen Luo laughed: "But those so-called geniuses don't even have the courage to take shortcuts."

“That seems to be true.” Flanders nodded.

In the Soul Arena, facing Yu Xiuyuan, a Soul Master with one ring, Zhao Wuji did not activate his Martial Soul because it was completely unnecessary.

"Let's begin, let me see your strength!" Zhao Wuji said in a deep voice.

Yu Xiuyuan nodded: "Okay, teacher!"

Before he finished speaking, Yu Xiuyuan charged towards Zhao Wuji like a cannonball, showing no fear whatsoever.

Zhao Wuji laughed upon seeing this: "Having guts is good, but you also need brains. Who gave you the confidence to attack an opponent whose strength far surpasses your own?"

Yu Xiuyuan was very fast, and he arrived in front of Zhao Wuji in a few breaths, but before he could launch an attack, Zhao Wuji's fist came whistling down.

"boom!!!"

Zhao Wuji's fist landed heavily on Yu Xiuyuan's face, sending him flying. Many students in the audience instinctively closed their eyes upon seeing this.

A Soul Master with a single ring was sent flying by a Soul Saint-level expert's punch. Even if the Soul Saint hadn't activated his Martial Soul, he would be half-crippled if not dead.

However, an unexpected event occurred. Yu Xiuyuan, who had been knocked away by Zhao Wuji, transformed into more than ten white snakes as thick as arms in mid-air, their blood-red mouths wide open, and charged towards Zhao Wuji once again.

Zhao Wuji was slightly taken aback when he saw this, and a slight smile appeared on his lips: "Interesting."

"I bet you're behind me right now, aren't you?"

Zhao Wuji paid no attention to the dozen or so white snakes, but suddenly turned around and reached out to grab them.

At that moment, Zhao Wuji's expression changed slightly.

Suddenly, a white snake rushed out from under Zhao Wuji's feet and successfully bound him in the blink of an eye. The white snake's fangs were tightly biting into Zhao Wuji's neck.

Strangely, the dozen or so white snakes that attacked Zhao Wuji vanished as if they were phantoms after touching his body.

Yu Xiuyuan's body slowly emerged, less than an inch away from Zhao Wuji's large hand.

At this moment, the only spirit ring on Yu Xiuyuan's body was flashing, indicating that Yu Xiuyuan had just used a spirit skill.

Even though his white snake had bound Zhao Wuji, Yu Xiuyuan was not careless at all and immediately distanced himself from Zhao Wuji.

While distancing himself from Zhao Wuji, Yu Xiuyuan also retrieved the white snake that was binding Zhao Wuji, preventing Zhao Wuji from having the opportunity to destroy it.

Zhao Wuji glanced at Yu Xiuyuan with some surprise, his gaze falling on the white snake Yu Xiuyuan had summoned. He frowned slightly: "You've already possessed a martial spirit, yet you can still project your martial spirit outwards?"

Not only was Zhao Wuji surprised, but Flander and Chen Luo also showed the same expression.

The students in the audience didn't think that much; they were just wondering how Yu Xiuyuan, a one-ring Soul Master, could have so many Soul Skills.

Flander said, "He seems to have a mutated martial soul, just like you, and he can even release his martial soul outwards!"

Chen Luo calmly replied, "I saw it."

“His mutated martial soul is of a higher level,” Chen Luo added.

After a martial soul is attached to a body, it can be released outwards. This extremely special situation is far beyond the common people's understanding of martial souls. Even Chen Luo, who has Yu Xiaogang's memories, has never seen this situation before.

Flanders said, "I feel that he is the one who is truly suitable to be your disciple."

Chen Luo said, "I will make contact, regardless of whether he can enter the monster teaching building or not."

Flanders laughed and said, "You're still as direct as ever."

"If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to enter the monster training building."

After breaking free of his restraints, Zhao Wuji exerted his strength. Although speed was not his forte, he had absolute strength as his advantage. In the blink of an eye, Zhao Wuji arrived in front of Yu Xiuyuan.

Yu Xiuyuan's eyes widened involuntarily, and he immediately manipulated the white snake to defend himself.

However, Zhao Wuji was too fast, and his large, thick hand landed firmly on Yu Xiuyuan's shoulder: "You lost."

Yu Xiuyuan's body trembled slightly, then he nodded vigorously.

Tears streamed down Yu Xiuyuan's cheeks. Despite his composure throughout the battle, he couldn't hold back his emotions after hearing the words "You lost."

"Why are you crying? You're already a member of the Monster Training Building," Zhao Wuji laughed.

Yu Xiuyuan casually wiped away his tears and looked at Zhao Wuji in disbelief: "Teacher, are you telling the truth?"

Zhao Wuji nodded: "Yes, you've done very well."

"But...but I couldn't even last three minutes in your hands..." Yu Xiuyuan's voice grew softer and softer.

"There are no 'buts' about it. Everything is up to me."

Zhao Wuji pointed at Tang San and the others: "Go report to the Monster Teaching Building with those little monsters later."

"Okay, teacher!"
