Chapter 28: First Encounter with Teammates and the Beginning of the Assessment.
"Let's talk after you can even touch me!"
Ji Wuchang shook his head with amusement, looking at the two girls who still seemed afraid to approach him. He felt quite helpless.
However, after thinking for a moment, he decided to go over and say hello.
"Hello, my name is Ji Wuchang, your teammate." Ji Wuchang smiled at them.
It has to be said, having a handsome face is very convenient. Although they seemed to know he was a "pervert," they still blushed and responded to him.
"I...I'm called Lan Susu, and she's called Lan Luoluo, she's...my sister." One of the girls, who seemed a little more outgoing, replied softly.
Because her voice was so soft, Ji Wuchang was stunned for a moment before understanding what she said. The younger sister beside her didn't speak, but simply nodded.
"Um, hello. Please take care of me these next few days." Ji Wuchang subconsciously extended his right hand.
Uh...the two girls blushed, and neither of them shook his hand. This made Ji Wuchang feel a little awkward for a moment. Ji Wuchang, feigning nonchalance, withdrew his hand and helplessly rubbed his nose.
Sigh. They're not men, how could he be so stupid!
"Please...please guide me," Lan Susu, still acting as the older sister, replied.
Behind her, Lan Luoluo clutched her sister's hem, remaining silent.
"First round, first match: Class 4: Zhang Yu, Li Kui, Huang Shan! Class 5: Xie Nan, Yang Sheng, Dong Xinyu. You may enter the arena now, each in a corner. You may release your martial spirits only after I say the match begins. Enter." The sudden voice broke Ji Wuchang's awkward silence.
They were in six groups, fighting in pairs; one match was enough for today.
However, upon hearing their names, he suddenly burst out laughing.
There was no way around it; it was just too coincidental.
Zhang Yu = octopus.
Huang Shan = eel.
Yang Sheng = sheep kidney.
Oh, and Li Kui too!
Fortunately, Ji Wuchang's laughter wasn't too loud, and the six who entered didn't hear it. Otherwise, Ji Wuchang would definitely be relentlessly criticized again.
Okay, the first group wasn't Ji Wuchang, and he had no interest in watching kids fight.
Boring, and unnecessary.
Unless one of them was a three-ring Soul Master, they wouldn't attract his attention.
"The assessment begins!" Seeing both groups ready, Dai Wenyun gave the order.
In an instant, the battle began!
"Tch, as expected, boring." Ji Wuchang curled his lip. These people were basically hothouse flowers; compared to him, a freak who dared to fight evil Soul Masters even though he was only a Great Soul Master, they were nothing.
This isn't self-aggrandizement! It's the truth! Before leaving Shrek Academy, these students' combat skills will never catch up to his!
"Class 5 Xie Nan's team wins one match!"
Finally, Dai Wenyun announced the final result.
Ji Wuchang lazily yawned. He'd been waiting for ages.
"First round, second assessment, Class 6: ..., Class 8: ... Enter!"
Well, it seems Ji Wuchang and his team are the last to be assessed. Ji Wuchang didn't even bother to complain about their names. Turning to look at the remaining group next to him, Ji Wuchang thought to himself, what a coincidence.
The opponent of this remaining group, wasn't that the big guy who came to mock him? The big guy over there was already rubbing his fists together!
Seemingly noticing Ji Wuchang's gaze, the big guy grinned maliciously, pointed at Ji Wuchang, and made a throat-slitting gesture.
But Ji Wuchang seemed not to see it and turned back to take a nap.
"I'm going to beat you until you cry for your parents today!" he thought furiously.
"First round, third assessment: Class 2 of freshmen: Wang Kaixuan, Liu Tao, Deng Wen. Class 7 of freshmen: Ji Wuchang, Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo. Enter!"
After waiting for ages, it was finally her turn. Ji Wuchang stretched and led her two sisters to a corner.
"I told you, I'd beat you to a pulp!" The big guy, Wang Kaixuan, mocked Ji Wuchang again.
"Just wait and see!" Ji Wuchang ignored him.
"Hmph!" Wang Kaixuan snorted and led his teammates to the opposite corner where Ji Wuchang was.
"Remember the rules of Shrek Academy!" Dai Wenyun had already noticed the apparent conflict between Ji Wuchang and Wang Kaixuan and reminded them:
"Assessment begins!"
With Dai Wenyun's command, both sides released their martial souls almost instantly!
"Uh…except for Ji Wuchang.
" Wang Kaixuan roared, a tiger's howl emanating from his mouth. White fur instantly sprouted from his body, and a black "king" character composed of fur appeared on his forehead. Two yellow spirit rings appeared and swirled around him.
Wang Kaixuan, a level 27 Great Spirit Master, possessed a White Tiger spirit. Although this spirit was the same as that of the White Tiger Duke of the Star Luo Empire, the two White Tigers were not the same.
Compared to the White Tiger Duke's ancient Evil-Eyed White Tiger, Wang Kaixuan's White Tiger spirit was a level lower!
Their development paths were almost identical, but when spirit masters of the same level met, the one with the Evil-Eyed White Tiger spirit almost always won!
Simply put, it was similar to the difference between an older generation smartphone and a newer generation smartphone.
Wang Kaixuan indeed had reason to be proud; his talent could even rival that of Dai Huabin, the White Tiger Duke's eldest son! He didn't have Dai Huabin's powerful backing, and although he didn't lack cultivation resources, he was far inferior to Dai Huabin.
Even so, he had cultivated to level twenty-seven! He was truly a genius.
His two teammates were also two-ring Great Soul Masters, though slightly lower in level, at 23 and 24 respectively.
Their Soul Ring combinations were also optimal!
One focused on control, the other on agility. Combined with Wang Kaixuan's powerful attack, their strength was undeniable!
This level was practically top-tier in Class Two, right?
The control-type Soul Master's Martial Soul was an unknown vine, its characteristic being the ability to turn a certain area into a swamp, thereby controlling enemies.
The agility-type Soul Master's Martial Soul was a rat. Unlike the trashy guy Ji Wuchang had encountered before, who had a dead rat as his Martial Soul, this person's Martial Soul didn't have any inherent attributes, so he focused on pure speed.
Such a powerful lineup could probably only be defeated by teams with Soul Masters or teams that countered them, right?
Unfortunately, he encountered Ji Wuchang…
Looking at the two sisters behind him who had also released their Martial Souls, Ji Wuchang's expression turned strange.
Using hair as a martial soul was something he'd seen in novels, anime, and comics on Earth.
But what he could never forget was that female ghost who killed with her hair…
The two had just released their martial souls, intending to use their soul skills to control the agility-type soul master charging at incredible speed, when Ji Wuchang shook his head.
"The other side…the other side is almost here!" Lan Susu said anxiously.
"Don't be nervous." Ji Wuchang smiled:
"You just need to win by lying down!"
…
"This kid, is he relying on something, or is he just arrogant?" Dai Wenyun frowned.
The battle situation was clear: the agility-type soul master named Deng Wen had begun his charge, his target likely being Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo on Ji Wuchang's side.
Meanwhile, the control-type soul master Liu Tao was slowly reshaping the battlefield by manipulating his martial soul. If no one stopped him, allowing him to unleash his abilities, the outcome was obvious!
Even Wang Kaixuan, having already activated his Martial Soul, began his sprint, his speed not much slower than Deng Wen's. Reaching Ji Wuchang would only take a few breaths.
In this way, Wang Kaixuan would hold off Ji Wuchang, Deng Wen would hold off the Lan sisters, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, and with Liu Tao's help, Ji Wuchang would face a barrage of attacks from three people!
If Ji Wuchang didn't make a move, the outcome of this assessment would be decided!
Deng Wen circled slightly, but was still less than five meters from the Lan sisters behind Ji Wuchang! Wang Kaixuan had already reached Ji Wuchang! Deng Wen's control was ready!
Was the outcome decided?
"Heh~" Ji Wuchang grinned, and a black longsword suddenly appeared.
"He moved!" Dai Wenyun watched his movements intently. He had originally thought Ji Wuchang would prioritize forcing Wang Kaixuan back before going to the rescue. Who knew…this guy didn't play by the rules at all!
Ji Wuchang paid no attention to Wang Kaixuan, who was rushing towards him. He had said he would let Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo win without
lifting a finger, so he couldn't let them get hurt! With a powerful stomp of his feet, his body floated backward like a swallow. The distance between him and the two Lan sisters was the same as Deng Wen's, only five meters.
However, Deng Wen was sprinting, while Ji Wuchang was retreating. Logically speaking, Ji Wuchang should be half a beat slower than Deng Wen!
"Tch, trying to outrun me?" Deng Wen clearly noticed Ji Wuchang's plan, and a disdainful smile appeared on his lips, but it was quickly replaced by shock!
Because he discovered that Ji Wuchang's speed was no slower than his!
It's hard to stop when sprinting at full speed, and Deng Wen was now in a dilemma. Continuing to attack might result in him running into Ji Wuchang's arms, while retreating would not only waste a golden opportunity, but might even lead to Ji Wuchang catching up and beating him up.
"We're both agility-type Soul Masters, do you think I'm afraid of you?" Deng Wen gritted his teeth. He had already considered Ji Wuchang to be an agility-type Soul Master like himself.
It's common knowledge that agility-type Soul Masters are generally responsible for harassment and assassination. Their direct combat abilities aren't particularly strong.
Moreover, Ji Wuchang hadn't even revealed his Soul Rings yet, meaning he could only mobilize less than 30% of his Soul Power. 30% to force him back?
Was that a joke?
His first Soul Ring flashed instantly, Deng Wen's fingers grew longer and exceptionally sharp, his nails gleaming with a ghostly light.
First Soul Skill, Ghost Rat Claw!
This increased his finger abilities, enhanced the sharpness of his nails, and could temporarily inflict a toxin that paralyzed the body!
On the other side, Ji Wuchang's retreat without a fight enraged Wang Kaixuan. Although surprised by Ji Wuchang's speed, he immediately categorized Ji Wuchang as an agility-type Soul Master.
In that case, unless he was a Soul Master, it was almost impossible for him to defeat this power-type Soul Master!
