Chapter 30: Su Mo’s Analysis
Chapter 30: Su Mo's Analysis
"Of course!"
Su Mo looked at Zhao Wuji, completely unshaken, and calmly replied.
"Good..."
Hearing Su Mo's response, Zhao Wuji laughed heartily, clearly pleased.
Zhao Wuji then turned his attention to Tang San, who was still calling out for Xiao Wu, and reassured him, "Stop worrying, she’s fine!"
"Her charm attack was ineffective against me. This is the consequence of forcefully using it despite the vast difference in our spirit power levels—she’s suffered a backlash from her own spirit skill!"
"She just needs a good night’s sleep. She’ll be perfectly fine when she wakes up tomorrow."
Zhao Wuji spoke nonchalantly, unconcerned by Xiao Wu's fainting from the backlash. After all, it was her own decision to use a charm skill against someone with much greater power.
However, Tang San didn’t accept Zhao Wuji’s explanation. Anger welled up inside him, and the Mysterious Jade Hand technique caused cold energy to emanate from his body.
She has to be unconscious for an entire night and won’t wake up until tomorrow.
"I don’t need to do anything more, do I?"
"Little girl from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, you’ve lost."
"You all are far too weak compared to me; you couldn’t even last the time it takes to burn a stick of incense!"
Zhao Wuji declared as he looked at Ning Rongrong and the others, completely unaware of Tang San’s reaction.
"Hmph!"
Ning Rongrong pouted and turned her head away, huffing in dissatisfaction.
Despite losing, she couldn’t accept it. After all, they were only at such low levels, and managing to achieve this result against a Soul Saint was already quite remarkable.
At this moment, Tang San, holding Xiao Wu, walked over to Ning Rongrong and asked, "Can you help take care of Xiao Wu?"
"Oh... sure!"
Ning Rongrong was momentarily stunned, unsure of what Tang San intended to do, but she agreed nonetheless.
After handing Xiao Wu to Ning Rongrong, Tang San returned to Zhao Wuji.
"What? You still want to continue fighting?"
"You can’t even withstand a single attack from me right now!"
Zhao Wuji was taken aback by Tang San’s stance.
"No."
Tang San shook his head.
"Then are you admitting defeat?"
Zhao Wuji asked, somewhat exasperated. If you’re surrendering, why put on such a fierce front?
"I want to fight you seriously, from the start!"
"If I can last the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, then please allow the four of us to enter Shrek Academy together!"
Tang San looked up at Zhao Wuji, speaking earnestly.
"What?"
Both Zhao Wuji and Ning Rongrong, along with the others, were stunned by Tang San's bold request.
"And if you can’t last? You all attacked together just now, and you still lost!"
Zhao Wuji, while admiring Tang San’s courage, couldn’t help but throw in a bit of discouragement. At the same time, he glanced at Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing to gauge their reactions.
Tang San didn’t respond immediately but instead turned slightly to look at Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.
"Tang San, we’re comrades. If you lose, we’ll leave together!"
Ning Rongrong was the first to support Tang San, speaking up decisively.
After all, they had already lost once; saying this wouldn’t change anything. She was also curious why Tang San dared to challenge Zhao Wuji alone.
"Yes, if we lose, we’ll leave together!"
Zhu Zhuqing, after a moment of hesitation, also nodded in agreement.
"Haha, very well then! Let’s see what else you’ve got, kid!"
Zhao Wuji burst into laughter, accepting Tang San’s challenge.
"This kid really knows how to win people over!"
Watching from the side, Su Mo couldn’t help but smile to himself.
*Chapter 31: Su Mo's Analysis*
Although the four of them couldn’t last the time it takes to burn a stick of incense and technically failed the assessment, Tang San suggested that if he won a rematch, they should all pass together. If that’s not winning people over, then what is? Of course, it’s also possible that Tang San simply thought Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing had enough talent and potential to join Shrek Academy and become his teammates.
After all, if he had only mentioned bringing Xiao Wu along, it would have seemed too selfish, so he included Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing as well.
"Teacher Zhao, be careful!"
Tang San then initiated his second battle.
Swish, swish, swish—
In an instant, countless hidden weapons were summoned from Tang San's spirit tool, launching a torrential attack at Zhao Wuji.
"What?"
"What kind of technique is this?"
"Such an unusual way of attacking..."
As they watched Tang San unleash his hidden weapons, Dai Mubai and the others were once again shocked, staring in amazement as Tang San and Zhao Wuji clashed once more.
This time, Zhao Wuji seemed to have become a target, forced to stand his ground and defend against the barrage.
"Hey, do you know what technique he’s using?"
Ning Rongrong, still astonished, turned to Su Mo and asked.
She remembered that Su Mo and Tang San seemed to be from the same academy.
"I’m not sure. This is the first time I’ve seen him use this technique."
Naturally, Su Mo couldn’t admit that he knew Tang San’s method was called hidden weaponry.
"Do you think he can last the time it takes to burn a stick of incense?"
Seeing that Su Mo didn’t know, Ning Rongrong was a bit disappointed but then asked the question she was more concerned about.
After all, Su Mo had known Tang San since childhood. Even if he didn’t know this specific technique, he should at least have a general idea of Tang San’s abilities, right?
"If he’s daring enough to step up, he must be confident."
"And don’t worry, even if he fails, you won’t be rejected by Shrek."
"If talents and abilities like yours couldn’t get into Shrek Academy, then it wouldn’t be able to enroll any students at all."
"The fourth round of the assessment wasn’t originally supposed to involve this teacher, was it? A Soul Saint participating clearly increases the difficulty, so whether or not you pass this round isn’t as important as the abilities you demonstrate in battle."
While watching Tang San and Zhao Wuji fight, Su Mo calmly analyzed the situation for her.
"Really? Then I’m relieved!"
Hearing Su Mo’s words, Ning Rongrong was momentarily stunned but then realized that what Su Mo said made a lot of sense.
Not only Ning Rongrong, but Zhu Zhuqing also looked at Su Mo with surprise.
This guy’s perspective is still so sharp.
Even Dai Mubai and Teacher Lu Qibin, who had brought Su Mo here, couldn’t help but glance at Su Mo after hearing his analysis.
Especially Teacher Lu Qibin—he fully agreed with Su Mo’s assessment. The little monsters in front of him were talents that Shrek Academy would be lucky to have; there was no way they would be turned away.
After finishing his explanation, Su Mo didn’t say anything more and continued watching the battle between Tang San and Zhao Wuji.
Seeing the hidden weapons Tang San was using, Su Mo couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. Right now, if he were to face Tang San, it would be difficult to win.
Just one of Tang San’s volleys of flying hidden weapons would force Su Mo into a defensive position.
However, Tang San’s performance only made Su Mo despise the spirit masters of this world even more. Why do they look down on ordinary weapons?
Look, Tang San’s hidden weapons are just regular metal pieces, yet they forced Zhao Wuji, a Soul Saint, to defend himself the entire time.
In the end, Zhao Wuji was left covered in wounds from the more advanced hidden weapons made of precious materials by Tang San.
But those needle-like hidden weapons only made Zhao Wuji uncomfortable; they couldn’t defeat him.
Finally, Tang San summoned the Clear Sky Hammer. Due to Zhao Wuji’s misjudgment, thinking it was just an ordinary hammer and not defending properly, he ended up being beaten black and blue, sent flying, and landed heavily on the ground, unable to get up for a moment.
You can only say it’s worthy of being a top martial spirit! Even without a spirit ring, it has such terrifying power.
Seeing this, Su Mo became even more envious, looking forward to the day when his Soul Hunting Spear would evolve into a top-tier, or even god-tier, weapon.
"Teacher, the time it takes to burn a stick of incense has passed. I’ve won!"
"According to our agreement, you must allow the four of us to pass the Shrek Academy assessment!"
After Zhao Wuji got back on his feet, Tang San, panting heavily, spoke to him.
"My word is my bond. All four of you have passed the assessment!"
Zhao Wuji’s face was grim, but he still announced that Tang San and his group had passed.
"Kid, it’s your turn!"
"You, come here. If you can last the time it takes to burn a stick of incense under my hand, you’ll pass the assessment!"
Having nowhere else to vent his frustration, Zhao Wuji turned his gaze to Su Mo.
He hadn’t forgotten that Su Mo had yet to complete the fourth round of the assessment!
