Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: Beating Zhao Wuji

The fusion of the breath of ice and fire erupted with terrifying force.

Zhao Wuji's hair stood on end, and a sense of danger spread within him. Without hesitation, he suddenly lunged to the right.

The ice and fire explosion detonated at his original position, and the forces of ice and fire instantly spread over dozens of meters, engulfing Zhao Wuji.

Ten seconds later, as the smoke from the explosion cleared, Zhao Wujia was found with his body scorched by the flames, but he was sealed within a block of ice.

Crack! Crack!

Zhao Wuji, at level seventy-six, could easily break the ice, but before he could say anything, there was a fluctuation of spatial elements behind him, and Gu Yuena's figure appeared behind him.

Since there were no Evil Soul Masters in the world of Douluo Dalu 1, Gu Yuena didn't hesitate to release dark elements.

A terrifying black hole appeared behind Zhao Wuji, and the dark elements continuously corroded his body.

"Ah!" Zhao Wuji's pupils dilated, and he howled in agony, activating his Unmoving King body again.

But just then, Gu Chen's figure also appeared beside Gu Yuena.

In fact, Gu Chen wasn't seriously injured. The only issue was that Zhao Wuji's earlier attack had been too sudden, and Gu Chen didn't have enough time to prepare.

First Soul Skill—Golden Dragon Shocking Heaven!

The deep purple soul ring behind Gu Chen lit up. He had planned to replicate the Golden Dragon Nine Styles of Tang Wulin in the original work.

However, Gu Chen was only imitating Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Nine Styles because the skill suited him, not because he admired Tang Wulin.

In the original work, Gu Yuena had given up the whole world for Tang Wulin, sacrificing her battle for soul beasts, even going so far as to commit suicide using Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Spear.

And what did Tang Wulin do? For two people who had nothing to do with him, he killed his own woman? Even though he eventually sacrificed himself, he still didn't deserve Gu Yuena, he was unworthy of her!

Now that he was in the Douluo Continent, Gu Chen had resolved to change everything!

With the release of the first soul skill, the Golden Dragon illusion wrapped around Zhao Wuji, and an overwhelming force exploded out, sending Zhao Wuji flying dozens of meters.

Third Soul Skill—Golden Dragon Soaring!

A pair of golden dragon wings suddenly spread out from Gu Chen's back, and he soared into the air. There was a series of explosive sounds under his feet, and in a split second, he was in front of the still-flying Zhao Wuji, who hadn't yet landed.

Second Soul Skill—Golden Dragon Earthquake!

Guchen's Golden Dragon Earthquake was released directly onto Zhao Wuji, and it even snapped a rib of the Soul Sage!

Zhao Wuji's body was sent crashing to the ground, embedding itself into the earth, immobile.

At this point, the incense had burned for a while, and Guchen walked up to Gu Yuena.

Seeing that Guchen was unharmed, Gu Yuena couldn't help but smile faintly.

Guchen rubbed her head, and despite her displeased gaze, he directly took her hand.

Not far away, seeing the bloodied Zhao Wuji, Dai Mubai couldn't smile and quickly shouted, "Oscar, Oscar, come here. You have some business."

Using soul power to amplify his voice, no one in the academy would be able to miss it.

"Where's the business, where's the business?" Oscar's soft voice, with a touch of excitement, came from far away, and soon he appeared in front of everyone.

Perhaps because he was so eager, he even left his cart behind and ran over alone.

"Oscar, come over." Dai Mubai called to him.

Oscar hurried over, "Dai Boss, did you call me?"

Dai Mubai nodded, saying, "Quick, bring out a few sausages."

Oscar was overjoyed, "Five copper soul coins for one, don't forget to pay me later. I've got a big sausage!" With a flick of his hand and a soul chant, a delicious sausage appeared in his hand.

"Oscar, come over, give me two sausages."

At this moment, Zhao Wuji moved his injured body, struggling to crawl out of the pit.

Since it was Gu Chen who had attacked, not Tang San, Zhao Wuji hadn't been poisoned, so he didn't ask Oscar for the small sausages.

Zhao Wuji's voice was somewhat muffled as, under the Golden Dragon Earthquake from Gu Chen, one of the eight golden dragons formed from the attack hit Zhao Wuji squarely in the mouth, even knocking out one of his teeth.

Oscar blinked his peach blossom eyes, "Who are you? How did you come to our Shrek Academy, and how do you know my name?"

"Bastard, do you want to get punished? I am Zhao Wuji!" Zhao Wuji roared in anger, almost unable to breathe, nearly spitting out blood.

Today, the humiliation he suffered was great, and he just wanted to quickly treat his injuries and threaten the kids in front of him not to spread the word. Otherwise, his Unmoving King body would never be able to show its face again.

Uh, threaten...

Looking at Gu Chen and Gu Yuena, Zhao Wuji immediately abandoned the idea.

Unlike in the original story, where he fought Tang San with full force, Zhao Wuji had used all his strength when fighting Guchen and Gu Yuena, but still couldn't win.

This meant that even with his full effort, Zhao Wuji couldn't defeat Guchen and Gu Yuena working together!

"Uh…" Oscar wanted to ask why Zhao Wuji had turned out this way. He was very clear about Zhao Wuji's strength.

But he soon noticed Dai Mubai's signal. As an extremely intelligent person, Oscar immediately suppressed his surprise and acted as though nothing had happened, hopping over to Zhao Wuji and handing him the sausage he had just made, while chanting a soul spell and summoning another large sausage.

Zhao Wuji ate the sausage, and his facial expression softened a lot. However, the pain from his broken ribs still persisted. He looked at Gu Chen and Gu Yuena with mixed emotions, waving his hand, saying, "You've passed."

With that, Zhao Wuji limped off.

At this point, Tang San and the others behind Guchen were exchanging glances. They couldn't find a chance to intervene. Other than Ning Rongrong, who had exhausted all her soul power from supporting both Gu Chen and Gu Yuena, the others hadn't done anything!

"Gu Chen, you guys are really powerful! Even Zhao teacher couldn't beat you!" Dai Mubai said.

Guchen just smiled and asked, "By the way, where is our dormitory?"

Dai Mubai led the six of them to their dorms.

Among them, Oscar and Tang San shared one room, while Guchen requested a room to himself.

Gu Yuena, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong shared a room.

"Na'er sis, can you tell me how I can become as strong as you?" As soon as they entered the dormitory, Zhu Zhuqing looked at Gumu Na with burning eyes.

Ning Rongrong also turned her gaze to Gumu Na.

"Physical strength and soul power are key to the number of soul rings you have." Gu Yuena's voice was cold, but it was only in front of Gu Chen that she showed such a gentle side.

As the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena was naturally high and cold. This was the true her, the Gu Yuena everyone knew.

"Then…" Zhu Zhuqing wanted to ask more, but when she saw Gu Yuena coldly close her eyes and sit cross-legged on the bed to begin her cultivation, she stopped and, along with the curious Ning Rongrong, began to play with Xiao Wu at the other end of the dormitory.

As night fell, the entire Shrek Academy quieted down. As Dai Mubai had predicted, besides Guchen and his group, no one else had passed the first three tests. This year had seen the most new recruits in many years.

Zhao Wuji, as the vice-dean, naturally had his own residence. At this moment, he was alone in his room, feeling somewhat depressed.

He had already changed into clean clothes, and his external injuries had healed, though the rib that had been broken still ached slightly.

He never expected that he would lose so badly after just trying to stretch his muscles. Moreover, he had used all his strength!

He hadn't anticipated that Gu Chen and Gu Yuena, this brother and sister pair, had such strength. Their future achievements were limitless!

His right hand clenched into a fist, pounding it into his left palm as Zhao Wuji sighed helplessly, "It's my bad luck. It looks like I'll have to train them well in the future. As the saying goes, jade cannot be polished without a master." As he said the last sentence, a wicked smile appeared on Zhao Wuji's face.

Although even Zhao Wuji himself couldn't defeat Gu Chen and Gu Yuena, he was confident that he could still make them suffer under the pretext of training.

"Zhao Wuji." Just as Zhao Wuji was thinking about how to properly train Gu Chen and the others in the future, a sudden voice made the smile on his face freeze instantly.
