However, when Yang Xiong found Zhao Wuji, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
At this moment, Zhao Wuji looked extremely miserable, his entire face bruised and swollen, appearing injured. And these were just external injuries; it seemed the person completely intended to teach Zhao Wuji a lesson.
Yang Xiong was also speechless. It was just a simple entrance assessment, how did it escalate to the point of the strong bullying the weak? Moreover, Zhao Wuji clearly held back from beginning to end, purely wanting to test the strength of the new students.
Zhao Wuji seemed a little embarrassed, and also a little annoyed: "Yang Xiong, isn't today your first day of school? What are you looking for me for?"
Yang Xiong quickly said: "Teacher Zhao, I heard you are in charge of the academy's combat training. I just want to receive your guidance."
Zhao Wuji was a little angry: "Flander should have told you to get into your best state. Tonight will be your first class, and you will also have to experience combat then."
Yang Xiong smiled: "Soul Masters of the same level can't give me much pressure anymore. I want to challenge the strong, especially experts like Teacher Zhao."
Zhao Wuji said: "You better think carefully. I'm not in a good mood today and want to vent. Maybe I won't be able to hold back and might injure you. Then your class today will be a bit troublesome."
Yang Xiong nodded: "Teacher Zhao, don't worry. I won't delay the academy's classes. Besides, I'm pretty clear on what the academy's class is today."
Zhao Wuji thought carefully: "Alright, I also happen to want to fight. Since you've come to me, don't blame me for being impolite."
After some communication, the two went to the Back Mountain Training Ground for a fight.
Throughout the entire process, even though Yang Xiong used his full strength, fighting against a Soul Saint like Zhao Wuji, he was almost completely suppressed. By the time Yang Xiong's soul power was completely exhausted, and even his physical strength was depleted, his body was covered in various injuries, and he looked quite miserable, even his clothes were a bit tattered.
Zhao Wuji, on the other hand, felt a little unbearable: "Let's stop training here today. Do you want me to find someone to treat you?"
Yang Xiong slumped on the ground: "Thank you, Teacher Zhao. My body and Martial Soul are quite special, and I have healing medicine on me. It shouldn't delay the evening class."
After speaking, Yang Xiong took out some medicinal herbs from his Soul Tool and took them. As expected, his injuries were somewhat relieved.
Zhao Wuji shook his head: "You are truly a little monster. Your combat power and all aspects are very good, but you are too young, and your soul power level is too low."
Yang Xiong said: "Teacher Zhao, can I ask you to guide me every day from now on?"
Zhao Wuji was a little confused: "Haven't you been taught enough of a lesson today? You know, if I accidentally don't hold back, you could be directly crippled."
Yang Xiong smiled: "Thank you for your concern, Teacher Zhao. I have a lot of recovery medicinal herbs on me, so serious injuries shouldn't occur. Besides, my Martial Soul is quite special; it can only become stronger through continuous combat."
"Of course, I troubled Teacher Zhao a bit just now. I'll treat Teacher Zhao to a meal at a restaurant later."
Zhao Wuji shook his head: "Educating students in combat is my job at Shrek Academy and my responsibility. Shrek Academy requires that there be no benefit-based interactions between teachers and students. There's no need for a meal."
"However, you little monster are also a bit strange. Everyone else is meditating in the dormitory, but you focus more on physical fitness training. Aren't you afraid that your soul power won't keep up in the future?"
Yang Xiong said: "Thank you for your concern, Teacher Zhao. This is my own cultivation method, and it's normal for it to be a bit different from others."
Zhao Wuji sighed and left the place.
Yang Xiong looked at Zhao Wuji's figure and felt that this Zhao Wuji was becoming more and more lovable. He was indeed a true person of character, and a rare person who didn't pursue any benefits.
After Zhao Wuji left, Yang Xiong directly found some water nearby, then took out his specially made iron bucket from his Soul Tool and soaked himself in a medicinal bath.
After every battle, especially after every injury, the effect of the medicinal bath would be much better, and Yang Xiong could even feel his body becoming stronger.
Given Yang Xiong's current physical condition, he could recover quickly even without a medicinal bath, but the medicinal bath seemed to stimulate his body more, especially his Martial Soul.
When Yang Xiong changed into clean clothes and returned to the dormitory, Tang San was still sitting on the bed meditating, and Oscar hadn't returned yet.
Clearly, Tang San's nose was very sensitive: "Yang Xiong, why do I smell the scent of some medicinal herbs on you, and what's with the injuries on your body? Did you have a conflict with someone else?"
Yang Xiong smiled, "My injuries are fine. These are from the combat training I just had with Teacher Zhao. They should heal quickly."
"As for the medicinal scent on me, I have a habit of taking medicinal baths after every battle, so you don't need to worry."
Although Tang San's face showed some curiosity after hearing this, they had just met and weren't familiar with each other, so he continued to cultivate with his eyes closed.
Yang Xiong returned to his bed and began to meditate.
...
Soon it was evening, and everyone gathered on the training ground again.
But Flander's expression seemed a bit grim. "Oscar, Ning Rongrong, have you finished your twenty laps?"
Oscar said, "Dean, I've finished."
Flander snorted coldly, "I asked about both of you. Ning Rongrong, have you finished too?"
Ning Rongrong seemed a little indifferent. "It was too far, and I was too hungry. I couldn't keep going."
Flander's face was full of coldness. "So you went to Soto City by yourself, even strolled around the commercial street there for a few laps, and only just came back."
Ning Rongrong was also a little angry. "You actually spied on me?"
Flander laughed in exasperation. "As the dean, I must pay attention to the safety of each and every one of you. And you, leaving the academy without permission and not completing the tasks assigned by the academy, are simply not worthy of being an excellent Soul Master. If this were on the battlefield, you would have probably been court-martialed long ago."
Ning Rongrong said, "This is just a school, not a military camp. Besides, these are just minor matters."
Flander nodded. "In your eyes, they are indeed minor matters, but in my eyes, the academy rules are above everything else. Now I'll give you two options: either pack your things and leave, or prove that you have the determination to stay here."
Yang Xiong, who was standing nearby, also looked at Ning Rongrong's face, but he actually hoped that Ning Rongrong would turn around and leave, so that he could also leave this place.
Ning Rongrong seemed exceptionally angry. "You want me to leave? Flander, who do you think you are? You're just a mere Soul Saint."
Everyone around was instantly shocked to hear this. Even Dai Mubai's expression was exceptionally solemn. Clearly, a Soul Saint was indeed considered a master in the Soul Master world.
Flander, on the other hand, appeared exceptionally calm. "That's right, I am indeed just a small Soul Master, far inferior to your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. But you are currently just a Soul Greatmaster. Even if you are the most talented disciple in the history of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, the difference between us is too great. What matters between Soul Masters is not power but soul power. Since you look down on this place, please leave."
Flander seemed to glance at everyone, especially at Yang Xiong. "Our Shrek Academy doesn't care about having one more student. Anyone who violates the academy rules can leave."
Ning Rongrong was trembling with anger. "Flander, how dare you! In all my life, you're the first person who has dared to speak to me like this."
Flander smiled sinisterly. "What is there for me not to dare? Shrek Academy is my territory. Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect cannot interfere. Your father is reluctant to discipline you, but I have no such reluctance. In my eyes, any student here is stronger than you, and you, with your powerful Martial Soul, are bringing shame upon it."
Ning Rongrong was furious. "You say they are all stronger than me? How are they stronger than me?"
Flander laughed. "Dai Mubai, broke through to Soul Elder at thirteen, a top-tier Beast Martial Soul, White Tiger. Do you have the confidence to break through to Soul Elder before you're thirteen? Even if you're faster than him, his combat experience is far superior to yours."
"Tang San and Xiao Wu are already level twenty-nine at twelve years old, one level higher in soul power than you. In terms of resources and cultivation environment, they are far inferior to you."
"As for the others, what I see is that they are all working hard to become stronger. Even if their soul power is not as high as yours now, surpassing you in the future will be an easy matter."
Ning Rongrong was a little unwilling. "Aren't there Oscar and Yang Xiong? Are they stronger than me too?"
Flander said, "This is where you are greatly mistaken. In terms of talent, Oscar is even above Mubai. Have you ever seen a food-type Soul Master with innate full soul power?"
"As for Yang Xiong, although his soul power is not as high as yours, his combat power and physical fitness are probably the strongest among all of you, even surpassing Mubai. Moreover, his Martial Soul is special and may forge a brand new path in the Soul Master world."
Everyone around was also surprised to hear this and began to look at Yang Xiong, especially Dai Mubai and Tang San, both of whom were very confident in their own combat power.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong seemed unable to bear the blow and actually ran towards the dormitory crying.
After watching Ning Rongrong leave, Yang Xiong quickly spoke up, "Dean, I'll go check on Rong Rong. Please wait a moment."
Having been single for two lifetimes, it's about time to find a girlfriend.
