Letting Tang San be the Captain

Zhao Wuji waved his hand and said, "The dean isn't here. When it's my turn, my word is the rule. Are you resisting?"

Dai Mubai looked at Zhao Wuji's threatening gaze and instantly felt intimidated. The sensation of being reprimanded by Zhao Wuji was far from pleasant.

Though he was unwilling, he had no choice but to yield to Zhao Wuji.

There would be plenty of opportunities to face Ao Tian in the future, but if he were to be disciplined by Zhao Wuji today, he'd be thoroughly embarrassed.

However, the thought of the delicate and beautiful Gu Yuena possibly being subjected to Zhao Wuji's harshness left Dai Mubai feeling uneasy.

Seeing Dai Mubai's silence, Zhao Wuji was highly satisfied. He took out an incense stick, lit it, and stuck it into the ground.

"Young ones, time is running out," Zhao Wuji taunted. He sat back down with great interest, watching Ao Tian and the others. He was thinking about how much strength he should use later. He didn't want to injure these kids.

Just then, the teacher who had been at the first stage assessment, accompanied by another teacher, approached.

"Young lady, let us help you treat your foot injury."

"Alright, thank you," Ning Rongrong said.

The healing spirit master released his martial soul and began treating Ning Rongrong.

Seeing this, Dai Mubai waved his hand and said, "Tang San, Ao Tian, both of you come over here."

Seeing everyone gathered around him, Dai Mubai suddenly felt a sense of superiority. He said, "This time, I can't help you. Teacher Zhao is personally taking charge, and even I can't resist."

"Just because you can't resist doesn't mean we can't," Xiao Wu sneered.

Dai Mubai gave Xiao Wu a casual glance and said, "Ignorance breeds fear. Do you even know Teacher Zhao's level of power?"

"I don't care what level of power he has. Even if he's a Titled Douluo, he still won't be enough," Xiao Wu retorted. She was determined to challenge Dai Mubai's words. She would oppose anything he said, just to stand up for Zhu Zhuqing. With Ao Tian backing her up, she wasn't afraid of making grandiose claims.

Dai Mubai looked at Xiao Wu as if she were a fool and said, "Do you think Shrek Academy is like your previous junior academies? Your previous academy teachers probably only had the cultivation of Spirit Grandmaster or Spirit Elder, right? Teacher Zhao is a Spirit Saint, a 76th-level Spirit Saint, and he also possesses a powerful beast martial soul. Within Shrek Academy, aside from the dean, Teacher Zhao is the strongest. Now, do you still have the courage?"

After speaking, he looked at Xiao Wu with a smug expression, curious to see if this equally arrogant girl would be frightened.

Xiao Wu pursed her lips and said, "Spirit Saint? Is that supposed to be impressive? I just said, even if he's a Titled Douluo, he's not enough. Did you mishear me, or do you have a problem with your ears?"

Dai Mubai's face turned a shade of red, a surge of anger rising in his chest, making him extremely uncomfortable.

This girl's words were just too sharp and cutting.

Ao Tian and Gu Yuena remained calm, while Tang San and Ning Rongrong wore serious expressions, brows furrowed.

"Xiao Wu, don't speak recklessly. A Spirit Saint is something we can't possibly contend with. Let's quickly figure out how to last the duration of an incense stick," Tang San advised.

Ning Rongrong nodded in agreement, saying, "I'm well aware of how terrifying a Spirit Saint is. Even if the three of you are Spirit Elders, it's still not enough for him to lift a finger."

Finally, there was someone with some sense. Dai Mubai's mood improved slightly.

The spirit master who was currently treating Ning Rongrong warned, "Teacher Zhao is personally assessing you? Then you must be careful."

Dai Mubai said, "Teacher Zhao has a nickname in the world of spirit masters, known as the Motionless Bright King, Zhao Wuji. You must give it your all and cooperate with each other, otherwise, you won't have a chance to enter Shrek Academy. Alright, introduce your martial souls to each other and get to know one another."

Tang San took the lead and said, "I'm Tang San, my martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, and I'm a Level Thirty control system Spirit Grandmaster."

Ning Rongrong looked at everyone and said, "I'm Ning Rongrong, my martial soul is Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and I'm a Level 26 auxiliary system Spirit Grandmaster. I can enhance your strength and speed by thirty percent."

"Your martial soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?" Tang San exclaimed.

He had heard about this martial soul from Grandmaster. It was hailed as the number one auxiliary martial soul on the Douluo Continent, possessing incredibly strong auxiliary abilities. It was the ideal partner sought after by every spirit master.

Finally, there was someone who recognized its value. Ning Rongrong revealed a sweet smile and said, "I'll do my best to assist you all. This battle is up to you."

Tang San nodded, feeling significantly more confident.

Although he is a Spirit Saint, with a thirty percent boost in speed and strength, coupled with the elusive hidden weapons and poison, it might not be impossible to last the duration of an incense stick.

Moreover, there were also Ao Tian and the others.

Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Ning Rongrong all looked towards Ao Tian and Gu Yuena's group.

While Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing both gazed at Ao Tian.

Dai Mubai frowned, feeling a bit uncomfortable. Why were all three girls looking to Ao Tian as the leader?

Ao Tian spoke first, "Ao Tian, martial soul: Golden Dragon, thirty-first level, Assault system Spirit Elder."

Following, Gu Yue said, "Gu Yuena, martial soul: Silver Dragon, thirty-first level, Assault system Spirit Elder."

Seeing Ao Tian speak, Xiao Wu also stated, "Xiao Wu, martial soul: Soft Boned Rabbit, thirty-first level, Assault system Spirit Elder."

Zhu Zhuqing added, "Zhu Qing, martial soul: Hell Civet, twenty-seventh level, Agility and Assault system Spirit Grandmaster."

A dragon! Dai Mubai paid even more attention to Ao Tian. If there was any beast martial soul that could contend with the White Tiger, it would be the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

He hadn't heard of this Golden Dragon martial soul before, but he assumed it wouldn't be weak.

'She's called Gu Yuena, and her martial soul is also a dragon-type.' Dai Mubai was astonished by Gu Yuena's formidable talent.

Even Zhao Wuji, sitting in the distance, couldn't help but show a look of astonishment on his face.

He understood very well that these kids who had made it here were definitely not older than thirteen. Yet, three of them were already Spirit Elders.

What kind of monstrous talent was this?

And there were two dragon-type martial souls. Zhao Wuji couldn't wait any longer. He was eager to experience the abilities of these kids.

"I hope they'll surprise me," he thought.

Dai Mubai said, "Teacher Zhao's martial soul is the Vigorous Vajra Bear. His specialties lie in strength and defense. He's also adept at gravity control. That's all I can tell you. You'll have to rely on yourselves."

He looked at Gu Yuena with a sincere gaze and said, "Take care!"

Gu Yuena gave him a faint glance but didn't say anything.

The atmosphere fell into silence.

Ning Rongrong hesitated for a moment and said, "I have some experience in team battles. I think we should choose a captain first. Everyone must have good coordination and not act individually."

Ao Tian smiled and said, "Then you be the captain."

"Me?" Ning Rongrong pointed to herself with her index finger, shaking her head. "I can't. I'm just an auxiliary spirit master. I'm not suitable to be the captain."

Tang San pondered for a moment and said, "I think I'm suitable to be the captain."

Seeing everyone's attention drawn to him, Tang San continued, "My teacher said that among all types of spirit masters, control system spirit masters are the most suitable to be captains."

Ao Tian nodded and said, "Alright, then you be the captain. I believe in your abilities. You'll definitely defeat Zhao Wuji."

Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Ning Rongrong were all speechless at the same time.

Truly fearless in their ignorance!

It was already extremely difficult to endure for the duration of an incense stick, and yet they actually wanted to defeat Zhao Wuji. It was truly a pipe dream.

Even Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ao Tian with a somewhat peculiar expression.
