Chapter 29: Tang 3, are you playing house? This is an entrance exam!
Tang San's combat role is control. He could have taken action from the beginning, but Xiao Wu attacked first, and Tang San controlled the situation afterward.
Fortunately, Zhao Wuji intended to test the strength of the newcomers and did not launch a storm of attacks at the beginning.
Tang San and Xiao Wu's attacks were not closely linked, but they did have an effect. In particular, Zhu Zhuqing, as an agility-based Soul Master, had an extremely high ability to find and exploit weaknesses.
Tang San and Xiao Wu have been together for many years and their teamwork is quite good. However, Zhu Zhuqing's control over the battlefield is even more outstanding. Whether it is attacking the enemy's weak points or disrupting Zhao Wuji's response, she can deliver effective attacks without any flaws.
It should be noted that Zhu Zhuqing and Tang San and Xiao Wu did not know each other at all before this.
Zhu Zhuqing circled around Zhao Wuji, and finally, she found the weakest point in his power. Her attack successfully forced Zhao Wuji to take things seriously, and he immediately activated his Martial Soul Possession.
Then, Teacher Zhao in front of everyone seemed to transform into a giant bear, with his entire body covered in dense brown fur, and his height instantly increased to more than two meters.
The humanoid giant bear was covered in explosive muscles, and an incomparably domineering aura swept over people. The seven glowing soul rings on Zhao Wuji's body were even more eye-catching.
"Unfortunately..." Due to the large difference in soul power, although Zhu Zhuqing found the weak point, she still could not cause any destructive damage.
"If Tang San had launched the hidden weapon, perhaps the damage could have been amplified..." However, it was Zhu Zhuqing, not Tang San, who found Zhao Wuji's weakest point.
The battle had reached a fever pitch, and Ning Yuanshan kept his eyes glued to the two sides locked in fierce combat.
Zhao Wuji and Dai Mubai are both offensive Soul Masters. Ning Yuanshan couldn't even handle Dai Mubai without external aids. If he were to face Zhao Wuji, he would be nothing more than a sitting duck. Therefore, as a support Soul Master, he was actually idle at this moment.
"Ha!" Zhu Zhuqing unleashed her soul skill, Netherworld Hundred Claws.
This move relies on rapid rotation to increase kinetic energy, which is then combined with sharp claws to unleash tremendous destructive power.
Zhu Zhuqing had used her soul skills countless times, and she could clearly feel that she was in excellent condition. She controlled the landing point of her attacks, and all of the hundreds of claws she unleashed landed on the same spot.
Unfortunately, Zhao Wuji's defensive power was not to be underestimated. He only used his first soul skill, "Immovable King Body," to block Zhu Zhuqing's attack, send her flying, and dislocate both of Zhu Zhuqing's arms.
Xiao Wu was also sent flying. Zhao Wuji pressed his advantage and raised his huge palm. At the same time, his second soul ring shone brightly, and then he laughed loudly.
Driven by soul power, the giant bear paw seemed to be coated with gold dust, and it slammed out towards Tang San and Xiao Wu with a glistening appearance.
Ning Rongrong has no fighting ability at all, and Ning Yuanshan is about the same. Besides, he just caught the unconscious Zhu Zhuqing and is currently checking her injuries.
Therefore, Tang San and Xiao Wu can only rely on themselves to resist Zhao Wuji's pursuit.
"Charm!" Xiao Wu activated her second soul skill in the critical moment. Her second soul ring lit up, and her eyes instantly turned blood red as she stared straight at Zhao Wuji.
The "Charm" soul skill took effect, and Zhao Wuji felt dizzy. But this couldn't stop the slap that was thrown, just like a car traveling at full speed that can't stop due to inertia.
However, the slap that was about to strike slowed down, and its soul power was also greatly weakened.
Everyone present could see that this was because Zhao Wuji had held back. Except for Tang San, who was still furious.
Of course, Zhao Wuji didn't want to hurt these children, so he intentionally withdrew his palm and didn't strike.
At that time, he was deeply surprised by Xiao Wu's "Charm" soul skill. Zhao Wuji's mind was not on the battle at all, but on the students' performance. He even had time to exclaim, "Good, there is actually a charm-type soul skill."
Tang San then took the opportunity to retreat, and Zhao Wuji did not pursue him again.
"I didn't expect you guys to have such a soul skill, not bad, not bad!" Zhao Wuji clapped his hands in praise, and then explained Xiao Wu's situation to Tang San.
"The girl is unharmed. The difference in our soul power levels is like heaven and earth. She tried to seduce me, but failed, so naturally she suffered a backlash..."
"You don't need to worry. In this situation, she just needs a good night's sleep, and she'll be back to normal by tomorrow," Zhao Wuji reassured Tang San, seeing that he was not in a good state.
"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu!" However, Xiao Wu's fainting made Tang San on the field extremely anxious and he lost his mind. At this moment, he didn't care about the test or assessment at all, he just wanted to vent his anger.
As Tang San reflected afterward in the original text, if it were just an exam, he wouldn't have fought so hard.
But why did Tang San still fight so desperately? It's because Xiao Wu's coma made Tang San forget that this was an exam, and he only wanted revenge.
Perhaps it could be said that Tang San took away everyone's opportunity for the entrance exam in order to vent his anger.
The others probably think they've already lost, which is why they're so indifferent. That's why they treat the opportunity to enroll as a joke, just like Tang San.
"Teacher! I want to do it again. This time I won't hold back, I will do my best."
When Tang San went mad, his eyes were resolute. "Let's light the incense sticks again and decide the winner through this competition! If I win, then everyone can enroll..."
Tang San knew he couldn't represent everyone except Xiao Wu, so he turned his head to look over.
Ning Rongrong came to Shrek Academy on a whim, and she probably didn't care at all whether she could pass the test, so she didn't care at all about Tang San wanting to restart it.
"When I was little, my dad told me that I must never abandon my comrades. Tang San, I believe in you, you can do it. If we lose, we'll all leave together..."
Ning Rongrong was clear about her own strength and talent, and even if she lost this time, it was because Shrek Academy's assessment was too harsh.
She continued, "Besides, the Imperial Academy won't refuse us."
Ning Yuanshan was confused about this part when he first read the novel. Everyone had lost a match, and Tang San was the only one who still had the strength to fight. It was not a problem to place hope and confidence in Tang San.
But why must we light the incense again? Ning Yuanshan had this question, and so he asked it.
"You've already endured the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, why do you need to light it again? Tang San, please be rational. This is an exam, not a special event for you to prove yourself! This is an entrance exam, don't sacrifice everyone's chance to get in to play around with you!"
Ning Yuanshan thought Tang San was a complete idiot. It was understandable that Xiao Wu was injured and enraged, triggering her bleeding instincts; it was also fine that he wanted to test his full strength. But did this conflict with continuing the assessment?
Ning Rongrong said she didn't care about losing, but don't forget that she mentioned "Imperial Capital Academy" in the second half of her sentence. Of course, the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School always has a backup plan.
Which academy is being referred to as the "academy in the capital"? Could it be the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy?
Please, it would be easy for Ning Rongrong to enroll in school. Tang San and Xiao Wu are not nobles, and Zhu Zhuqing is from the Star Luo Empire. Is it appropriate for them to go to the politically charged Heaven Dou?
Ning Rongrong kept saying, "My father taught me not to abandon my comrades." Isn't that a form of moral blackmail?
Most importantly, in the original text, Tang San actually used the Clear Sky Hammer in this battle.
So, you didn't restart the assessment just because you're so great and have victory in your grasp. It's not like it's a dead end. So, why did you so hastily reveal your identity as a successor of the Haotian Sect in public? Isn't that just impulsive and reckless?
