After hearing those words, Tang San looked at Dai Mubai with great interest, his eyes filled with amusement.
After all, anyone with eyes could tell what Dai Mubai meant with the words he had just said to the teacher. It was clear that Dai Mubai was trying to shift the blame onto Zhao Wuji. As for why, it was obvious who he was targeting.
Dai Mubai, feeling a shiver run down his spine from Tang San's glance, realized something was off as he recalled the earlier events. He suddenly understood how foolish his actions had been.
He had walked right into trouble.
Now, all Dai Mubai could hope for was that Zhao Wuji, their teacher, would go easy on him. Otherwise, his life after entering the academy would be full of hardships.
If worse came to worst, he could only rely on Zhao Wuji to cripple Tang San and the others, or else...
Before he could retreat into his shell like a turtle, Zhao Wuji said something that made Dai Mubai even more fearful.
"Mubai, why don't you tell them a bit about me first? It wouldn't be good if they later accuse me of bullying the younger ones!"
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai was stunned. Just as he was about to refuse, a voice, like the whispering of a devil, assaulted his mind relentlessly.
"Senior, won't you come and explain it to us?"
Tang San had come over to Dai Mubai, his eyes filled with a teasing smile.
At this moment, Xiao Wu also noticed Tang San's demeanor and immediately linked arms with Yun Feng. Frowning, she asked:
"Yun Feng, do you know why Tang San has become like this?"
Yun Feng was taken aback, then looked at Xiao Wu with a strange expression.
"What's wrong? Don't you like it?"
Xiao Wu shook her head at his response and said:
"That scum Dai Mubai can be treated however, I don't really care. But it feels like Tang San's heart has twisted a bit!"
"Didn't you notice?"
Yun Feng, of course, had noticed, but what could he say? Could he admit that he had subtly influenced Tang San in this direction?
Moreover, Yun Feng didn't want Xiao Wu to continue this conversation, at least not now. After all, some nosy people were still watching. If those people grew impatient, who knew what would happen next?
So Yun Feng could only smile and say:
"How could that be? Tang San is our good friend. We grew up together, so there's nothing to worry about."
Tang San had also overheard Xiao Wu and Yun Feng's conversation. Xiao Wu's words made him uncomfortable, but to refute her would be like denying his past and everything he had learned in his previous life.
However, Yun Feng's words that followed filled Tang San with warmth.
In truth, he and Yun Feng had known each other for almost twelve years now! It really had to be his good brother!
The one who truly understands me is Yun Feng!
Yun Feng's unconditional trust made Tang San feel happy. It even caused a certain person in the shadows to nod approvingly.
In that person's eyes, his son had done nothing wrong. The only mistake was not silencing the other side after provoking them!
That was the biggest flaw!
After all, Tang Hao recognized the look in Dai Mubai's eyes all too well. It was exactly the look he himself used to have. However, after some thought, Tang Hao decided to let it go. Since Yun Feng was by Tang San's side, nothing too bad should happen.
After much hesitation, Dai Mubai finally nodded and said:
"Alright, I'll explain a bit."
"Teacher Zhao's full name is Zhao Wuji. He is a Rank 76 Soul Saint, with a Beast Spirit, and is a Battle Spirit Saint. He serves as the vice dean of the academy, and his overall strength is second only to the dean."
Everyone's pupils contracted simultaneously. Rank 76? In their minds, someone of Soul Saint level could dominate even an army of ten thousand, not to mention they themselves weren't even at Rank 30 yet.
Xiao Wu let out a sigh of relief but then said in disbelief:
"He's Rank 76? But he looks much younger than the teacher at the gate."
Dai Mubai smirked slightly, a hint of pride in his expression.
"Age never determines strength. We don't have much time, so I'll quickly tell you about Teacher Zhao's specialties, and then you must immediately come up with a strategy. Otherwise, you might not even last through his first attack, let alone hold out for the time it takes for a single incense stick to burn."
Hearing this, the group's expressions became more serious. Facing a Rank 76 Soul Saint was no joke.
Even though they had Yun Feng, the unpredictable wildcard, on their side, none of them had ever seen Yun Feng in actual combat. Yun Feng's spirit, like Tang San's, was also Blue Silver Grass, so Tang San harbored some doubts about Yun Feng's combat ability.
Not everyone could be as exceptional as him, with his innate battle instincts.
Both Yun Feng and Tang San came from Holy Spirit Village, where it was said that a Soul Saint had once existed in legend. But that was just a story. Now, standing before them was a real Soul Saint who would soon be their examiner.
It was clear how rare and powerful a Soul Saint truly was!
Satisfied with everyone's reactions, Dai Mubai continued:
"Teacher Zhao's spirit is the Vigorous Vajra Bear, a powerful beast spirit. His body has no weaknesses, and his defense is terrifying. Even Soul Masters at his level find it difficult to break through his defenses and injure him. Though speed is not his forte, the gap in spirit power between you and him is too vast, so you won't be faster than him either."
"Teacher Zhao's greatest strengths are his offensive power and defense. In the Soul Master world, he's known as the Immovable King. Forget about you five; even if there were double your numbers, you might not survive his attacks for the time it takes a single incense stick to burn. Your only hope is that Teacher Zhao doesn't take you too seriously."
No weaknesses.
Those two words alone summed up Zhao Wuji's overwhelming strength.
Ning Rongrong nodded solemnly.
"So he's the Immovable King Zhao Wuji. He disappeared from the continent for ten years, and I never expected him to be teaching at Shrek Academy. Back then, the Immovable King Zhao Wuji once wiped out an entire small town. The Spirit Hall tried to punish him, but he fought his way out of an ambush by sixteen bishops."
"The matter was dropped afterward. The Spirit Hall's bishops are at least Rank 60 Soul Emperors. Back then, Zhao Wuji should have been only in his sixties, but now he's even stronger."
Dai Mubai nodded quietly and said:
"I've never seen Teacher Zhao go all out. So, you'd better pray for your own luck. Of Teacher Zhao's seven soul rings, the first two are hundred-year rings, the third and fourth are thousand-year rings, and the last three are all ten-thousand-year rings. All seven soul rings are focused on attack and defense."
