Chapter 2699 Provocation_1

Hearing these words, Zhao Wuji and Li Yusong looked at each other, both feeling somewhat guilty…

Indeed, it was hard for their consciences to be clear after earning fifty golden soul coins from a child under ten years old in one go, without allowing him to test his soul power rank…

After all, they were teachers of the academy, not robbers…

Thinking this, Zhao Wuji took a deep breath, "Well… you do have some point, but after the test of the soul power rank, we will not refund these golden soul coins!"

Li Yusong nodded in agreement, "Yes, Shrek Academy has never refunded the registration fee!"

In this regard, they were indeed telling the truth…

Xu Sheng readily agreed, "Of course, whether or not the standard is met, these golden soul coins belong to you two seniors!"

Seeing this, Zhao Wuji picked up a crystal ball from the side and tossed it to Xu Sheng, "Then… let's see why you are so insistent on testing your soul power rank!"

Although he said this, his heart still did not believe that the former could have reached level 21 soul power at such a young age!

Xu Sheng caught it steadily and then held it with one hand, injecting soul power into it very delicately…

Not because his soul power was insufficient, but for fear that a slight carelessness might cause it to shatter…

However, in Li Yusong's view, this was taken as another meaning…

He couldn't help but remind him, "This crystal ball can contain the soul strength of the Soul Venerable level, by using only one hand, you may not even be able to light it up!"

Xu Sheng, ignoring this, continued to inject soul power into the ball without any change in his expression…

After a few minutes, the crystal ball only sparked with a bit of starlight…

Xu Sheng shook his head with a hint of regret, "It seems, indeed, that it's still not good enough."

This body's control over soul power was far from delicate enough…

Having anticipated this, Zhao Wuji shrugged, "As expected, not even able to light up the crystal ball. You are still far from meeting the entrance standards of Shrek Academy!"

Li Yusong added, "Mm, at this level, I guess you've just awakened your Martial Soul, right?"

He couldn't believe that he had actually held some expectations for this child because of his confidence!

How desperate he was to recruit outstanding students…

Xu Sheng glanced at them and said indifferently, "It seems you have misunderstood something. The crystal ball not lighting up is not because my soul power rank hasn't met the standard,"

"but because it is too powerful."

Zhao Wuji, however, thought he was talking nonsense and extended his hand, "All right, kid, we have no interest in playing along with you any more. You wanted to test your soul power rank, and you have, now hand over the crystal ball and leave."

Li Yusong tried to console him, "Don't lose heart. Maybe in a few years, you will have a chance to join Shrek Academy!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng handed the crystal ball to Zhao Wuji…

But just as Zhao Wuji was about to grasp it, Xu Sheng squeezed his palm, and with a "bang," the crystal ball instantly exploded, turning into a skyful of fragments that fell to the ground…

This act immediately enraged Zhao Wuji…

He snarled, "Kid, what are you doing! The value of this crystal ball is even higher than these fifty golden soul coins!!"

Xu Sheng nodded indifferently, "Mm, I know. And then?"

This response was more than Zhao Wuji could bear, and he released his Martial Soul…

"It seems you don't realize what you're doing, so today I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents!!"

Zhao Wuji, who was known as the Immobile Bright King, a Soul Sage level powerhouse, had never suffered such humiliation!!

And from a child no less!!

Li Yusong on the side frowned slightly, still reminding, "Wuji, this is just a child. Be mindful of your strength."

Of course, he also felt anger towards Xu Sheng's actions...

Zhao Wuji responded with a cold smile, "Don't worry, I'm just trying to scare him, to let him know that some people should not be provoked!"

The next second, the Great Strength King Kong Bear behind him opened its huge mouth and let out a heart-shaking roar towards Xu Sheng...

One would have thought that the latter would beg for mercy under such a terrifying display of power...

But that was a huge mistake!

Xu Sheng, still standing in place, hadn't moved an inch...

Even the look in his eyes as he faced him carried a few threads of disdain...

Zhao Wuji said with a hint of surprise, "You didn't kneel under my pressure; it seems you do have some strength. But this is as far as you go!"

His entire form flashed, and he charged towards Xu Sheng, reaching for his neck...

The speed was so fast that it was difficult for the average person to catch with the naked eye...

But just as he was about to make contact, an unexpected change occurred, and the latter's figure suddenly vanished...

Zhao Wuji, realizing what happened, exclaimed in shock, "What??? It's just an afterimage!!"

Li Yusong, who was not far away, cried out in alarm, "Wuji! Watch out behind you!"

Out of absolute trust in his old friend, Zhao Wuji didn't hesitate to turn around...

Immediately, he saw Xu Sheng's fist bombarding towards his chest and quickly crossed his arms in front of him...

He didn't forget to taunt, "Kid, not bad speed, but with your strength, it's impossible to break through my..."

Before he could finish, his cheeks suddenly contorted, his throat sweetened, and he spat out a mouthful of blood with a "puh!!"

He was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing harshly into the ground...

Li Yusong was dumbfounded and muttered in disbelief, "This... How is this possible? With just one hit, Wuji has been severely injured!!"

There was no way he had seen that wrong; Zhao Wuji indeed spat out blood!!

Xu Sheng, looking down at Zhao Wuji in the pit, said indifferently, "It seems your defense couldn't block my attack!"

Although his control over Soul Power was limited, defeating a small Soul Saint was still a piece of cake!

Soon, Zhao Wuji stood up, holding his chest, and stared fixedly at him...

"Cough... cough, you... Who exactly are you? Why do you possess such terrifying strength!"

He was clearly just a child, yet that punch almost shattered his bones...

Xu Sheng gave a slight smile, "Me? I'm just a kid looking to join Shrek Academy."

Zhao Wuji said with unwavering certainty, "Don't lie, someone with your abilities would never join a small academy like ours!"

"Could it be that you are some old monster who has rejuvenated back to youth!!"

A regular Soul Douluo would find it hard to break his defense, yet the opponent managed to inflict serious damage with one punch, this opponent's real strength must have reached the Title Douluo!!

Xu Sheng shook his head, "An old monster? No, no, no, I truly am not even ten years old!"

Li Yusong hurried to Zhao Wuji's side and asked, "Wuji, how are you?"

Zhao Wuji endured the pain in his chest and said in a low voice, "Something's very off with this guy, he's at least a Title Douluo level strongman. I'll hold him off, you go and notify the dean!!"

Li Yusong hesitated, "But..."

Zhao Wuji did not give him time to refuse, rebuking loudly, "No more nonsense, go quickly!"

Otherwise, they would probably all die here!!
