27: After leading the new students to the final challenge in Chapter 27, I discovered I was the real boss.

After bringing the group to the clearing for the final test, Bai Qi looked at Zhao Wuji, who was lying on a lounge chair in the clearing, before he could even speak.

Behind him, Dai Mubai, who had followed, spoke up first.

"Teacher Zhao, I have brought the new students to take the final examination."

Zhao Wuji, having been woken up, didn't even open his eyes as he asked Dai Mubai.

"New students? There are actually new students who made it to the fourth test this year?"

After all, they hadn't recruited any new students in two years.

Listening to Zhao Wuji's slightly sarcastic question,

Dai Mubai gave an awkward smile to Tang San, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong, then trotted over to Zhao Wuji's side and said.

"There are three new students this year who made it to the fourth test. All of them bypassed the other tests and went straight to the fourth, so we need you, Teacher Zhao, to preside over it."

"Hmm, there are actually three who made it to the fourth test this year?"

Hearing this, Zhao Wuji finally sat up and opened his eyes.

After seeing who it was, Zhao Wuji's eyes widened suddenly. He stood up quickly and walked over, saying pleasantly surprised.

"Oh my, I was wondering who it was. So it's you, Little freak, who has returned."

After saying this, he walked up to Bai Qi and patted his arm.

"Not bad, your arm is very solid."

Bai Qi just smiled at this.

Then, seeing Dai Mubai, who was following behind Zhao Wuji, tap him to remind him that there were new students present, Zhao Wuji finally realized and looked at the new students standing to the side.

"Ahem, ahem."

After coughing twice and patting Bai Qi's arm again, he said to them.

"The fourth test was originally for the three of you to battle Dai Mubai. However, Dai Mubai doesn't have experience in a one-on-three fight. If Bai Qi hadn't returned, your opponent would have been me. But since Bai Qi is back, your opponent will be him."

He then gave Bai Qi a push and added.

"Go ahead, introduce yourself to them, and include your weaknesses too."

Dai Mubai, standing behind Zhao Wuji, looked displeased. Although he didn't have experience in fighting multiple opponents, that didn't mean he couldn't beat them. Teacher Zhao shouldn't have said that about him. Thinking of this, Dai Mubai looked at Bai Qi with a resentful expression.

The reaction of the trio of new students was different. Tang San breathed a sigh of relief; at the very least, he didn't have to fight Teacher Zhao. Although Bai Qi wouldn't be easy to deal with, it should be much easier compared to Teacher Zhao.

Zhu Zhuqing, who had witnessed Bai Qi's Spirit Ability, felt a bit desperate and subconsciously looked at him. Bai Qi looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a smile and silently said a sentence. Zhu Zhuqing understood it: "Don't be nervous." Zhu Zhuqing smiled at this and felt relieved.

On the other hand, Ning Rongrong was very relaxed. Teacher Zhao had said even Dai Mubai would struggle; Bai Qi was just a student, how strong could he possibly be?

After observing the expressions of the three, Bai Qi smiled meaningfully and said to them.

"My Spirit is the Candle Dragon, and I am a level 53 attack system Battle Spirit King."

As soon as Bai Qi finished speaking, everyone present, except for Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu, exclaimed.

"A Spirit King? ! !"

The happiest among them was Zhao Wuji; no matter what, he was his student now.

"In terms of Spirit Ability, I have melee, control, defense, and long-range; you could say I'm all-around. The only drawback is that my speed isn't very fast."

However, if I use Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, that's another story. Bai Qi added silently in his heart.

After hearing Bai Qi's words, Tang San was already thinking that when he first fought him, he was only thirteen levels higher. Now, Tang San was level 30 without a third spirit ring, while Bai Qi was actually twenty-three levels higher than him. Furthermore, since their first battle, Tang San had never felt that he would become friends with Bai Qi. Thinking of this, Tang San subconsciously placed his hand on the Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges that Gangzi had given him, then immediately let go.

However, this scene was seen by Bai Qi, and his gaze towards Tang San became even colder.

The relaxed look on Ning Rongrong's face had vanished completely. She couldn't say a word, just staring blankly at Bai Qi, wondering why someone about the same age as them had such a high level of Soul Power.

The way she looked at Bai Qi now carried a complexity she didn't even understand herself; perhaps it was admiration and adoration.

On the other hand, Dai Mubai was also dumbfounded at this moment. He saw the shadow of his brother on Bai Qi and could only watch from afar. If Bai Qi knew that Dai Mubai was comparing him to his big brother, he would definitely say, "Don't associate with me."

After his excitement subsided, Zhao Wuji happily took another step forward, stood next to Bai Qi, patted Bai Qi's shoulder, and said to the three.

"So, do you still want to fight? If you don't want to, I'm in a good mood today, and I can let you pass."

Hearing this, Tang San closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then opened them, took a firm step forward, and said.

"We fight."

Zhu Zhuqing also walked out from beside Xiao Wu; although she didn't speak, she showed her attitude.

But Ning Rongrong bit her lip slightly, looked at Tang San, then at Zhu Zhuqing, and finally at Bai Qi, who was watching her.

Gritting her teeth, she also took a step forward and said, looking into Bai Qi's eyes.

"Fight then, who's afraid of whom?"

Bai Qi raised an eyebrow at this, looking at Ning Rongrong with a bit more respect.

Then he turned and walked toward the center of the clearing. When passing by Dai Mubai, Dai Mubai subconsciously stepped back, but Bai Qi didn't pay any attention to it.

Zhao Wuji also took an extra look at the three new students, Tang San, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong, then clapped his hands and said.

"Alright, the three of you go discuss your tactics. Let me know when you've finished discussing."

After speaking, he took Dai Mubai to the side, while Xiao Wu stood on the other side.

After Zhao Wuji stood still, he shouted to the three.

"You just need to hold out against Bai Qi for the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn."

After saying this, he crossed his arms and watched the four people in the center of the clearing quietly.

Bai Qi also said to the three.

"I won't use my fifth Spirit Ability or fourth Spirit Ability."

Tang San, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong nodded upon hearing this. Especially Ning Rongrong, who hadn't seen Bai Qi's spirit rings, breathed a huge sigh of relief. After all, from her perspective, the fifth ring was a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, and having one less ten-thousand-year Spirit Ability would make the pressure much lighter for them.

After a while, Tang San and the others finished discussing their tactics and signaled to Zhao Wuji. Zhao Wuji immediately took out a stick of incense, lit it, and stuck it into the ground.

At that instant, Tang San, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong activated their Spirits almost simultaneously.

Two yellow colors, belonging to their optimal spirit ring configuration, appeared at their feet.

Seeing them release their Spirits, Bai Qi also released his Spirit, but he did not enter the state of Martial Soul Possession.

The yellow, purple, purple, black, black spirit ring configuration made the pupils of Tang San, Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai, and Zhao Wuji shrink. They exclaimed.

"Ten-thousand-year — fourth ring!"

Although Zhu Zhuqing had already seen it for the second time, she still felt shocked.

Xiao Wu stood to the side with her arms crossed, watching the group's unworldly reaction, thinking, "It's just a ten-thousand-year fourth ring, why act like no one has one?" Because Bai Qi had taught her the Mysterious Heaven Skill, which had enhanced Xiao Wu's physical strength, Xiao Wu was able to rely on herself to fuse a ten-thousand-year spirit ring for her fourth spirit ring.

After coming back to his senses, Tang San saw that Bai Qi had only activated his Spirit and had not used Martial Soul Possession, so he immediately decided to strike first and shouted in a low voice.

"First Spirit Ability, Blue Silver Binding."
