"she is..."
Tang Xiao stared at Xiao Wu beside Tang San with wide eyes.
"Soul beast, another one hundred thousand year soul beast?"
Tang Xiao inevitably thought of Ah Yin.
"Why, why does Tang Hao's son also have a hundred thousand year old soul beast by his side? Does Ah Hao know about this?"
"He must know." Tang Xiao answered his own question. "No one knows better than him what it looks like when a hundred thousand year old soul beast transforms into a human."
Tang Xiao thought of a lot at this moment. He thought about the time when he traveled to Douluo Continent with Tang Hao and met A Yin together. Later, he heard the news of A Yin's death and the news that Tang Hao injured the Pope of the Spirit Hall.
A terrible idea suddenly popped up in his mind.
Could it be that Tang Hao had left this hundred thousand year old soul beast specifically for his son? Just like Ah Yin had sacrificed it to him, he also wanted to sacrifice this soul beast to Tang San.
Tang Xiao quickly shook his head and threw this speculation out of his mind.
"No, the feelings between Hao and Yin must have been real."
For some reason, Tang Xiao suddenly became less sure.
In front, Dai Mubai looked at the fallen Tang San and Xiao Wu in surprise.
He knew very well how powerful Tang San was. He had witnessed Tang San's strength when he first met him.
Even though he doubted that he would not pass the test, he never thought that Tang San would fail, and fail so quickly.
Although Dai Mubai was also under tremendous pressure and had a hard time, he could at least hold on a little longer and did not fail as easily as Tang San.
"Boss Dai, let's go back."
Ma Hongjun hadn't even attempted the test yet, but when he saw that Tang San and Xiao Wu couldn't hold on so quickly and made strange noises, he immediately panicked.
Dai Mubai gritted his teeth and said nothing.
It was because he was under tremendous pressure, but also because he didn't want to give up this opportunity.
Not to mention Tang San and Xiao Wu, two classmates he had only known for a short time, even if his biological father came, don't expect him to give up easily.
Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing also did not hesitate and stepped directly into the assessment area.
"you..."
There wasn't much affection between them to begin with, and at this moment, Shrek and his companions were showing signs of falling apart.
"Uh~"
Tang San rubbed his head and looked around blankly.
"Xiao Wu?"
Finding Xiao Wu also lying beside him, Tang San hurriedly shook Xiao Wu's arm.
"Brother, are you okay?"
When Xiao Wu opened her eyes, the first thing she did was to worry about Tang San's situation.
"I'm fine, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Wu shook her head and said slowly:
"I saw you suddenly let out a strange cry and collapsed. I rushed over in a panic, but I didn't expect that I would feel the immense pressure and fainted immediately."
Xiao Wu actually fainted faster than Tang San. As a transformed soul beast, her soul was actually much older than Tang San's.
If the entry test would not cause too much harm to the examinee, she would probably be suppressed into a fool by the soul pressure of the giant statue.
"Why is this happening?"
Tang San's face was full of disbelief.
Ever since he came to this world and awakened his innate full soul power and twin martial souls, he has always considered himself a genius and has never suffered such a blow.
Especially Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing and even Oscar from the auxiliary department were still struggling, but he failed so quickly.
Tang San couldn't accept this result.
"There's definitely something wrong with this assessment."
He believed that if everyone's assessment was at the same level as his, no one would be able to pass the test.
"Brother, let's just give up and go back to find the Master and the others, okay?"
Compared to Tang San's confusion and shock, Xiao Wu was filled with fear at the moment.
Just now, she felt like she was almost turning into her original form.
This Soul Palace was too terrifying. Just the entrance examination had almost turned her into a soul beast. If she really joined the Soul Palace, her true identity would surely be discovered soon.
Tang San said unwillingly: "No, I must try again. There is no way that a test can stump me."
"elder brother..."
Just when Xiao Wu wanted to persuade Tang San again, Tang San entered the assessment area again.
"Ah~"
There was another scream, and the middle-aged man's voice was more obvious, making Xiao Wu feel very unfamiliar and even a little scared.
"It appeared again."
When Tang San tried again, Tang Hao kept watching him, wanting to see if the phantom would appear again.
Under his gaze, the shadow of the middle-aged man became clearer than before.
"What's going on?"
Tang Xiao had never seen such a situation before, and his heart was filled with endless doubts.
"Does Hao know about this?"
Tang Xiao felt that as Tang San's father, Tang Hao would not be completely unaware of Tang San's abnormality, right?
He decided to ask Tang Hao after he got out. After all, Tang San was A Yin's only flesh and blood. Tang Xiao didn't want the child to have any problems after A Yin's death.
"Ah~"
Among the three Shrek members who were still undergoing the assessment, Oscar also failed quickly.
Immediately afterwards, Dai Mubai roared unwillingly, his legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground.
"Zhuqing."
Dai Mubai watched as Zhu Zhuqing actually passed him and was only four or five steps away from the main gate of the Soul Palace.
"Zhuqing, everyone has failed. Let's go back."
Zhu Zhuqing turned a deaf ear and still took a difficult step forward.
Dai Mubai's face suddenly turned gloomy.
He and Zhu Zhuqing were engaged. Although he ran away early without informing Zhu Zhuqing, and was surrounded by beautiful women after he ran away, he still treated Zhu Zhuqing as his property.
Although Zhu Zhuqing had only been in Shrek for a short time, she had always been cold and indifferent to him, as if she hated him very much.
But Dai Mubai believed that this was just Zhu Zhuqing's disguise. If she really hated him so much, she would never come to him, let alone join Shrek Academy.
But now, if Zhu Zhuqing successfully joins the Soul Palace, it is really possible that she will completely leave him and never come back.
"Damn it."
Dai Mubai stretched his arm, which was barely able to move, picked up a small stone inconspicuously, and quietly dropped it at Zhu Zhuqing's feet.
Plop~
Zhu Zhuqing was already at the end of her strength and was only holding on by her last breath.
Disturbed by Dai Mubai, she could no longer hold on, stumbled on a small stone, and fell to her knees.
She looked ahead and realized she was only one step away from passing the test.
"you..."
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dai Mubai with angry eyes.
Dai Mubai acted as if nothing had happened and asked with concern:
"Zhuqing, are you okay?"
Zhu Zhuqing was very sure that it was Dai Mubai's doing.
She was extremely angry with Dai Mubai. This coward had first escaped alone a few years ago, and then was living a life of debauchery outside. Now he was even destroying the opportunity and new life she was about to have.
Dai Mubai ignored Zhu Zhuqing's anger.
So what if she was angry? As long as he couldn't join the Soul Palace, he believed that no matter how angry Zhu Zhuqing was, she would not completely break off relations with him.
In that case, it doesn't matter if I offend her again.
Zhu Zhuqing's heart was filled with despair. She was only one step away from escaping her fate.
Her assessment this time was already extremely difficult. Based on the previous situation, the difficulty of the second assessment would definitely increase a lot. She definitely had no chance of passing the second assessment.
Even if there is a slight chance, Dai Mubai will probably still interfere.
"Is this my fate?"
