Chapter 23 - Chapter 23 From Arrogance to Deference, Thinking About It Makes Me Laugh

After hearing Luo Ye's words, Zhao Wuji subconsciously glanced at the incense stick. Seeing that the incense had burned to the end, Zhao Wuji immediately felt incredibly stifled.

From start to finish, he had only thrown two punches, and they had both landed on the ground, causing no damage whatsoever to Luo Ye and the others.

He had been led by the nose the entire time, and just now he had even been knocked out by a rush of something, only regaining consciousness after the incense had completely burned out.

To think that he, the esteemed Immovable Bright King Zhao Wuji, a Soul Saint level powerhouse, had performed so poorly in this assessment. Zhao Wuji felt he had lost all face.

With a Face iron-green face, Zhao Wuji shouted loudly.

"That doesn't count, let's do it again!"

In an instant, everyone was stunned by Zhao Wuji's shameless words. They all stared at him with wide eyes, somewhat disbelieving that he would actually ask for a redo.

It was bad enough that he, a level 76 Soul Saint, personally conducted the assessment for the candidates, but now that they had already passed the assessment, he was actually saying it didn't count?

He didn't want face anymore, did he?

"Teacher Zhao, isn't what you're doing a bit inappropriate?"

Luo Ye's smile remained unchanged as he looked at Zhao Wuji and spoke, while also quickly writing in his diary.

[Sure enough, the shamelessness of these Shrek guys never fails to surprise me. It's like this from top to bottom. It's no wonder they can teach students like Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.]

[The most crucial thing is that these guys never feel ashamed of this; instead, they take pride in such matters. They truly deserve to be called oddities.]

[No wonder Tang San could get along with them, it's because they are birds of a feather.]

Even without Luo Ye's diary, Zhu Zhuqing and the others already felt that Zhao Wuji's refusal to admit defeat was very shameless. Now, this feeling was even more solidified.

Zhu Zhuqing said with a cold expression.

"Just now, we agreed that if we could last for one stick of incense, we would pass the assessment. Are you not planning to honor your own words now?"

Ning Rongrong was even more direct, saying.

"Teacher Zhao, it seems your Shrek Academy doesn't want students like us. If that's the case, you might as well say so directly. It's not like we absolutely have to come to Shrek Academy."

"With our talents, even if we went to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, we definitely wouldn't be deliberately Make things difficult like this."

Zhao Wuji was speechless from the retort, already sweating profusely, my friend.

Because he knew that Ning Rongrong was telling the truth. All five of them had excellent talent, especially Luo Ye. At the age of twelve, he had already reached the level of a three-ring Soul Grandmaster. Such a genius was incredibly rare, even throughout the entire Douluo Continent.

If his deliberate Make things difficult caused them to leave Shrek, not to mention Flander, even Zhao Wuji himself couldn't forgive himself.

Thinking of this, Zhao Wuji forced out an awkward smile and quickly explained.

"I was just joking with you. I now announce that you have passed the assessment and are now members of Shrek Academy."

To change the subject, Zhao Wuji looked at Luo Ye and asked.

"Kid, was that mental energy just now your doing?"

Luo Ye nodded, pointed to his eyes, and smiled.

"My martial soul is eyes, so I'm slightly stronger than Soul Masters of the same rank in terms of mental power."

Slightly stronger?

The expression on Zhao Wuji's face was very subtle.

Was that just a little stronger?

He, a Soul Saint, had his consciousness blurred for so long after taking one hit, even if it was because he was completely unprepared just now, it was still extremely exaggerated.

Zhao Wuji smacked his lips and asked his other question.

"I want to know how you found my weaknesses? Every move was aimed at my weaknesses, and the timing was so perfect that I had no time to react at all."

Hearing this, everyone simultaneously turned their gaze towards Luo Ye.

Seeing this, Zhao Wuji raised an eyebrow and said with a strange tone.

"It's you again?"

Luo Ye didn't keep them in suspense and used Mental Detection and Mental Sharing again, initiating a connection with Zhao Wuji.

"Don't resist, Teacher Zhao, you'll know once you feel it."

Zhao Wuji had originally wanted to expel the unfamiliar mental energy that entered his mind, but hearing Luo Ye say this, he relaxed.

When Luo Ye's soul skill connected with him, Zhao Wuji instantly found that under the gaze of his eyes, the flow of time seemed to slow down, and everything around him became incredibly clear.

Wherever his gaze landed, a large amount of information instantly appeared, and all the subtle details were presented in his mind.

Moreover, within a radius of three hundred meters around him, he didn't even need to use his eyes to see; all the scenery was presented in his mind in a three-dimensional form, and any change that occurred would be discovered by him at the first possible moment.

"Holy crap!"

After experiencing the effect of this soul skill, Zhao Wuji immediately swore, his eyes filled with a look of doubting life.

It was like a half-blind person who had been severely nearsighted for decades finally getting a pair of suitable glasses. The feeling of exhilaration was simply beyond words.

Zhao Wuji's reaction didn't surprise Luo Ye, and even Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and the others weren't surprised.

Just now, after receiving the enhancement of this soul skill, they were also incredibly shocked.

It was no exaggeration to say that in a battle between Soul Masters, as long as one side had the help of this soul skill, it was no different from having a cheat.

However, everyone else knew the effect of Luo Ye's soul skill, but Dai Mubai didn't.

Seeing Zhao Wuji's exaggerated reaction, Dai Mubai felt an itch in his heart like being scratched by a kitten, really wanting to know what his soul skill did, but he couldn't bring himself to ask, so he could only stand aside and sulk alone.

Moreover, the better Luo Ye performed, the more he felt blocked up inside. The difficulty of getting Zhu Zhuqing back was increasing.

"Gulp."

Zhao Wuji swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at Luo Ye with a look of pleasant surprise, and said.

"Good kid, just with this soul skill of yours, even if you hadn't passed the assessment, I would still let you join Shrek!"

As a Soul Saint level powerhouse, Zhao Wuji understood the importance of this soul skill better than Zhu Zhuqing and the others, and he instantly realized Luo Ye's significance.

To put it this way, as long as Luo Ye was present, their Shrek Academy was almost invincible in battles of the same level.

X-ray vision plus lock-on, plus being able to find the enemy's weakness at a glance, who could withstand that?

Facing Zhao Wuji's praise, Luo Ye appeared very calm, and even took the time to continue writing stories in his diary.

[From arrogance to deference, thinking about it makes people laugh, but this is Shrek.]
