Chapter 6: Mu Bai, We Don't Need to Be So Distant
Boom!
As they watched the dazzling lightning bolts, Zhao Wuji was dumbfounded. The Thunder Emperor represents heavenly punishment! Although Qin Xiao hadn't reached the level of representing heavenly punishment, lightning was still lightning, and its destructive power was not something an ordinary person could withstand.
Within moments, Zhao Wuji was covered by lightning within a radius of a hundred meters, and his figure was buried beneath the thunderous assault. Only intermittent cries of agony could be heard from Zhao Wuji.
"Being able to suppress a Soul Saint with a raise of your hand, is this the power of a Title Douluo?" Tang San murmured softly, looking at Qin Xiao with deep admiration in his eyes.
Xiao Wu's eyes were filled with intense fear, more so than most of the Title Douluo she had seen before.
On the other hand, Dai Mubai and Oscar instinctively shrank their necks. They preferred to stay as far away as possible from such a formidable individual.
After a long while, the incense stick finally burned out. The thunder pool dissipated, and Zhao Wuji's figure reappeared before everyone.
Wasn't this too miserable?
Everyone widened their eyes in astonishment. At this moment, Zhao Wuji's clothes were tattered, and his face was covered in black soot.
No, to be precise, his exposed skin looked like it had been smeared with black paint.
"Thank you for sparing me, Your Majesty," Zhao Wuji bowed deeply from a distance.
However, while speaking, black smoke still emerged from his mouth. Qin Xiao acknowledged his gratitude. Zhao Wuji should indeed thank him; if it weren't for Qin Xiao reducing the power of the martial soul, there would be nothing left of him after enduring the ordeal for half an incense stick's time.
"May I ask, have I passed the test now?" Qin Xiao inquired.
The test?
Zhao Wuji was momentarily taken aback, then realized and immediately nodded vigorously, "You passed, you passed."
[Ding, congratulations on working together with your teammates to barely withstand Zhao Wuji's test and passing the examination.]
"Barely withstood?" Qin Xiao muttered under his breath after hearing the system's prompt. He gazed at Others with a touch of mockery.
As for his teammates?
Hehe, they were just spectators for most of the process.
If it weren't for completing the mission, Qin Xiao wouldn't have bothered to bring them along.
[Task rewards have been issued.]
Subsequently, Qin Xiao sensed a slight increase in his strength.
Not bad.
However, he noticed a problem.
"System, why isn't there a new task?" he asked inwardly.
[Although you barely passed Zhao Wuji's test, it consumed a great deal of your energy and left you with minor injuries. Your condition is not ideal, so you are temporarily unable to complete tasks. It is recommended that you rest.]
"What? I got injured from a fight with Zhao Wuji?" Qin Xiao's blood boiled. "What's my current strength?"
[Ninety-first level Title Douluo.]
"Can I still be injured while fighting a Soul Saint?" he asked.
[In theory, you shouldn't be, but it detected that the host's physical condition was not optimal. It is recommended that you rest.]
Qin Xiao: ...
In the distance, Zhao Wuji couldn't help but shiver. He didn't know why, but he sensed a murderous intent emanating from Qin Xiao.
"Dai Mubai, you little rascal, why don't you quickly take His Majesty to rest? Can't you see how scorching the sun is?"
"By the way, take His Majesty to the presidential suite in our academy specially reserved for honored guests."
"I'll personally handle the formalities for His Majesty later."
He quickly instructed Dai Mubai, thinking it best to send off this ominous deity as soon as possible.
"Understood."
Dai Mubai's heart trembled, and he quickly said to Qin Xiao, "Your Majesty, please follow me." Alright then. I'll rest for now. I'll see what tricks the system is playing later."
Qin Xiao nodded and followed Dai Mubai into the distance.
However, just before leaving, the look he gave Xiao Wu almost made her faint.
As he watched Qin Xiao disappear from his sight, Zhao Wuji unconsciously wiped his non-existent sweat from his forehead.
It was too terrifying.
He was a Soul Saint, a formidable figure in his own right. He had even achieved a brilliant record of breaking through encirclements during battles in the Spirit Hall.
He had even evaded pursuit by an ancient ape from the Strength Clan.
But he felt that the dangers he had faced in the past were nothing compared to today.
No, they didn't even come close.
He felt like he was an ant, and Qin Xiao could crush him with a single finger.
"What's so funny? Am I that amusing?" Zhao Wuji looked at the others with a stern face, suppressing his amusement.
"No, not at all," Oscar stammered, feeling as if an invisible hand was squeezing his neck. He knew that Zhao Wuji was a devil in his heart.
Ning Rongrong, Tang San, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others also became serious.
"What are you looking at? It's you guys. When I sparred with His Majesty just now, you were like decorations on the side, completely useless. Now I've decided to reevaluate all of you."
Zhao Wuji extended his hand, scanning the group and said in a deep voice.
"What? Reevaluation again?" Ning Rongrong immediately complained.
"What? Do you have objections? You can leave now if you do."
"Shrek Academy requires obedience, not questioning!" Zhao Wuji said firmly.
"You..." Ning Rongrong furrowed her brow. Normally, she would have considered leaving. After all, as the Little Princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, even without her father Ning Fengzhi, both Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo considered her a precious treasure. When had anyone dared to speak to her in such a tone?
However, she had a change of heart. The fact that this academy could attract an eighteen-year-old Titled Douluo intrigued her. Her anger dissipated, and curiosity filled her.
"I won't leave just yet. I want to see what secrets this academy is hiding."
With that in mind, she summoned a sparkling crystal tower that emitted seven-colored light.
"Oh, the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Pagoda?" Zhao Wuji's eyes lit up. "Interesting."
"Your Majesty."
"This is the highest-grade accommodation in our academy."
On the other side, Dai Mubai led Qin Xiao to a two-story building.
It had to be said that the so-called presidential suite was quite plain.
But Qin Xiao wasn't one to indulge in luxury. The training conditions on the Solitary Peak were much worse.
He was also well aware that his purpose in coming to Shrek Academy wasn't to enjoy comfort but to complete the tasks of the Dog System and improve his own strength.
"Mubai, we're about the same age. You don't need to be so formal and call me 'Your Majesty.'"
Qin Xiao looked at Dai Mubai, who was leading the way, and smiled.
"Really?" Dai Mubai's eyes were filled with pleasant surprise.
Could he not be excited?
He felt that Qin Xiao was actively showing favor to him. Moreover, the appreciation of a Titled Douluo was particularly important to him.
After all, he had another identity – he was the prince of the Star Luo Empire.
If he could establish a relationship with this esteemed figure, the benefits would be immense.
In just an instant, he had many thoughts in his mind.
However, at this moment, Qin Xiao spoke again, "Just call me 'Your Majesty' like the others do. You don't need to mention the 'Thunder Emperor' unless necessary."
"I prefer to keep a low profile."
What? Dai Mubai was a bit dumbfounded. This script was different from what he had imagined!
