Chapter 149 A Shift in Thinking.
Old Ma lifted the unconscious Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hong with both hands, gave Wu Xuan a deep look, and jumped off the Soul Arena without a word.
"Exchange Student Assessment Match 1, one against two, Wu Xuan wins!"
"Good! Well done!"
"As expected of a genius who was exceptionally admitted to the Inner Academy, truly giving the Inner Academy a lot of face."
"Ultimate Wind, invincible!"
"Brother Xuan is invincible, unbeatable."
The last, incredibly familiar voice naturally came from Qian Guming.
As soon as Yan Shaozhe announced the winner, Shrek Academy's Inner Academy erupted in cheers, while the exchange students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy fell into complete silence.
However, their defeat was only the beginning.
"Bei Bei one against two, wins!"
"Xu Sanshi one against two, wins!"
"Jiang Nannan, wins!"
"Xiao Xiao, wins!" "Qian Guming, wins!" "Wang Dong, wins!"
Seven consecutive losses!
Ten people, with unequal cultivation levels and numbers, lost, lost utterly.
Listening to the sharp taunts and overwhelming belittling from the Shrek Academy students around him, Old Ma felt a surge of anger.
Looking at the eight elite Soul Masters he had brought with him, carefully selected from among hundreds, all looking dejected and pale, Old Ma finally realized he had been tricked by that old fox, Yan Shaozhe.
"Sister Ruoruo! See? I told you Soul Tools are useless! Look at those Soul Masters, they're no match for us top-tier Martial Soul owners!" Wu Ming stared excitedly at the Soul Arena, shaking Han Ruoruo beside her. "
Senior Sister Wu Ming, have you noticed something? Those Soul Masters' Martial Souls, in our original Douluo Three Kingdoms, might not even pass the Shrek Academy's entrance exam," Chu Qingtian said solemnly, looking at the excited Wu Ming beside him.
"Hiss! Now that you mention it, it's true." Wu Ming suddenly snapped back to reality, covering her mouth in surprise.
Han Ruoruo looked at Chu Qingtian with some appreciation and said, "Qingtian is right. The eight people whose martial soul talents are only considered to be above average were able to fight back and forth with us geniuses who have top-level martial souls with the help of soul tools. Although they were defeated, it is still very impressive."
"I think this is why the academy provided us with soul tools, Senior Wu Ming. Even new things require us to learn to accept them, right?" Chu Qingtian smiled and looked at Wu Ming beside him.
"Hey! Ming'er. Where are you going?" Han Ruoruo asked, puzzled, seeing Wu Ming suddenly leave.
"Sister Ruoruo, I'm going back to the dormitory to find the soul tool I left in the corner. You and Qingtian don't need to wait for me."
"You were persuaded by us?" Chu Qingtian looked at Han Ruoruo beside him with surprise.
"It seems so!" Han Ruoruo smiled sincerely.
Ever since the Golden Crow True Fire attached to her martial soul successfully transformed into a temperature close to the ultimate fire, Wu Ming had been the number one troublemaker in the entire inner academy, rejecting soul tools.
Unexpectedly, she was persuaded by them today.
The exchange student assessment competition ended, and the overwhelming attack of Wu Xuan's seven people completely stunned the Sun and Moon exchange students.
Looking at the eight people with vacant eyes, Yan Shaozhe felt extremely smug. "Let you little brats be so smug! Don't think that just because your soul tools are a bit more advanced, you can look down on my orthodox soul master cultivation. Even if soul tools can enhance a soul master's strength, those with stronger martial souls still have the advantage. Besides, all the inner court students at Shrek Academy are now fully equipped with soul tools."
Yan Shaozhe stepped forward with a fake smile. "Fellow Sun and Moon exchange students, I regret to inform you that none of you have passed this entrance examination. I hope that in the next six months, you can focus on your studies under the guidance of my inner court teachers. Le Xuan, please take you all to your dormitories."
Elder Ma, upon hearing this, forcibly suppressed the anger that was about to erupt and nodded in a stifled, frustrated manner. Now that he was under someone else's roof, he didn't even dare to raise his voice.
On the other side, Wu Xuan, surrounded by Xiao Xiao and Qian Guming, headed together toward the inner courtyard cafeteria.
"Not bad, kid! What was that self-created soul skill you just used? It was pretty impressive!" Wu Xuan said as he hooked an arm around Qian Guming's shoulder and questioned him.
"There's nothing impressive about it," Qian Guming explained with a shrug. "It's just an ordinary self-created soul skill passed down through my family. The power is decent enough—its biggest function is to stimulate the indomitable will of the Dragon Coil Staff's wielder."
"Not bad at all! Looks like your family has quite a bit of strength," Wu Xuan clicked his tongue.
"It's not as exaggerated as you make it sound, Brother Xuan. I'm just from an average family," Qian Guming said. "It's just that I happen to have a Title Douluo grandfather."
The way he said it was infuriating to the extreme.
"Alright, alright! And you call that an average family? Looks like you're asking to be taught a lesson again," Wu Xuan said, pretending to crack his fingers.
"Calm down, calm down. Xiao Xiao, you hold off Brother Xuan for me!" Qian Guming leaped and dodged, creating distance between himself and Wu Xuan.
Xiao Xiao laughed and ignored the mischievous Qian Guming.
Just as the group was playfully bickering, a woman in a fiery red dress descended from the sky. Wu Xuan was slightly taken aback when he saw her and stopped what he was doing. He had thought that after what happened that morning, Ma Xiaotao would be too ashamed to see him for days, but he hadn't expected her to be back in less than a morning.
"Junior Brother Wu Xuan, you defeated two Soul Emperors in one go, that's impressive!" Ma Xiaotao stepped forward and hooked her arm around Wu Xuan's shoulder, her pink eyes full of tenderness and expectation.
"They're just Soul Masters from the Sun Moon Empire, easy targets for me." Wu Xuan didn't deliberately avoid Ma Xiaotao's affectionate gesture and smiled.
Ma Xiaotao, around twenty years old, was at the most beautiful age in a girl's life, and besides, she was already extremely beautiful. He wouldn't deliberately avoid her since she was so bold in expressing her feelings for him.
Seeing that Wu Xuan didn't avoid her, Ma Xiaotao was secretly delighted and pulled him forward, saying, "Let's go, Junior Wu, let's go to the cafeteria for lunch."
"Okay! Xiaoming, Xiaoxiao, come along!" Wu Xuan smiled slightly and waved to the two who were still standing there.
"Ah! Okay!" Qian Guming looked at Wu Xuan and Xiaoxiao strangely and nodded in agreement.
Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't say anything.
Seeing that he had distanced himself from Wu Xuan and Xiaoxiao, Qian Guming whispered, "Xiaoxiao, don't be so reserved. If you keep being shy, Brother Xuan will be seduced by that woman, Ma Xiaotao."
"Hmph! It's all your fault. What a terrible idea you gave me to raid him in the middle of the night, and I ended up with nothing." Xiaoxiao punched Qian Guming hard beside her.
"Ouch! How could I possibly know whether Brother Xuan was home or not!" Qian Guming begged for mercy.
"Hmph! I don't believe Wu Xuan would be so easily seduced. He's not that kind of person," Xiao Xiao said defiantly.
Qian Gu Ming sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Xiao Xiao, you need to be more careful. You don't understand me and Brother Xuan at all. If a big sister like Senior Sister Xiao Tao got close to me like that, I would be powerless to resist. I would definitely take her that very night."
"You, you're shameless! I'm going to tell Yun'er in the outer courtyard!" Xiao Xiao blushed and kicked Qian Gu Ming hard before running towards Wu Xuan and Xiao Tao.
"Oh! No, please don't tell! I was wrong, okay?" Qian Gu Ming begged repeatedly.
The inner courtyard's cafeteria was very close to the Soul Arena, and they arrived at the cafeteria in just a few words.
Compared to the outer courtyard, the inner courtyard's cafeteria was open all day, and the food was far superior. Here, even the worst dishes were made from thousand-year-old soul beasts.
With the exchange student assessment just finished, the cafeteria was now arguably the most crowded the inner courtyard had ever been.
When the inner court students saw the formidable Flame Demon Ma Xiaotao dragging a boy to eat, they were all utterly astonished.
"Wow, no wonder he's Junior Brother Wu Xuan! He can even handle the Flame Demon! A role model for us all!"
"I was unconvinced before, but now I'm completely convinced..."
Xiao Xiao, who had just entered the cafeteria, was completely flustered at this moment.
