After Zhao Wuji announced the start of their battle, Ning Rongrong instantly activated her martial spirit and amplified others strength and agility.
Her martial spirit surprised Zhao Wuji but before he could take any action, JoyBoy appeared before him and punched him in the chest with five times boost in all three physical attributes.
JoyBoy decided to start with five times boost because he had no idea just how strong he currently was. He believed that five times boost will bring his abilities to a top class spirit king level who hasn't activated spirit ring abilities whether in terms of strength, agility or endurance.
Since Zhao Wuji hasn't activated any spirit ring, he felt he should play it safe even if Zhao Wuji has top class defense because of his martial spirit.
After punching his chest he noticed that Zhao Wuji had no reaction to it and instead was looking at him with a disdain.
"Seems to be without any strength, little boy."
Noticing his disdain, JoyBoy smiled before increasing his boost to times twenty all attributes and punched again.
The power behind his next punch surprised Zhao Wuji. He felt that, if the previous punch was at a top class strength based spirit king level, then this one was at the level of top class strength based spirit emperor.
Although this punch didn't hurt him, it pushed him back a little. This shocked everyone else because JoyBoy was able to push back someone like Zhao Wuji at just level forty while fighting by himself.
While JoyBoy was fighting him others were focused on their battle and were waiting for the right moment. The moment he was pushed back, they attacked him with the same combo as in the novel.
Seeing them fight as a team, JoyBoy was suddenly feeling emotional.
"This is what it feels like to fight in a team. We always have each other's back."
While he was blankly looking at the fight going on in front of him, he noticed that Zhao Wuji activated his martial spirit and broke their combos while hurting them in the process.
When Xiao Wu tried to stop him from hurting Tang San using her second spirit ring ability, he broke it which further hurt her and resulted in her fainting in Tang San's arms.
Seeing her faint Tang San's mind almost went blank. Just as he was thinking of going all out against Zhao Wuji and using his hidden weapons on him, he felt a hand on his shoulder.
Looking up he saw it was JoyBoy who kept a hand on his shoulder while looking at Zhao Wuji.
"Brother San, go back with sister Wu and make sure her wounds doesn't get any worse. Leave the rest to me."
Saying this, JoyBoy removed his glasses and started walking towards Zhao Wuji, who now had a serious expression on his face.
"Senior even if not on purpose, you did harm my sister. Since you have used your spirit rings, I will also fight you seriously. Please be careful."
Saying this, JoyBoy activated times fifty boost and punched him in the face. Zhao Wuji tried to block his punch with his hand but failed to stop it, resulting in his hand pushed by the force of his punch and hitting him on the face, breaking his nose and making it bloody because his hand also rubbed against it due to momentum.
Zhao Wuji was sent flying as a result of this. Before he could land on the ground and balance himself, JoyBoy suddenly appeared near him and grabbed his leg. After that, he started smashing him on the ground left and right while holding his leg just like he remembered Hulk doing it to Loki.
While being smashed on the ground, Zhao Wuji was stunned and started questioning his life choices. Everyone else including Tang San was looking at this with a wide eyes.
They couldn't believe that someone of their age could fight and defeat a spirit sage in a one on one fight. Even if Zhao Wuji didn't use his full power against him because this was only an exam, it was unbelievable.
After smashing him for some time, JoyBoy stopped it and started walking towards Tang San and the others, ignoring the bloody Zhao Wuji who was lying on the ground with a stunned expression.
After he went back to Tang San, he checked Xiao Wu's condition realizing that she only over exerted herself and will be alright after a good night's sleep and told it to Tang San.
Dai Mubai called Oscar and asked him to deliver his food to everyone. Ning Rongrong asked Zhao Wuji with a smirk if they all passed, to which he said yes while looking at JoyBoy who now wore his glasses and had a gentle smile on his face.
After that, they all were given dormitory rooms. He requested that he wants to be alone without any roommates.
After going to his room he noticed that it looked like a wooden house. The room was not big, about than ten or more square metres with two beds on opposite sides.
He unpacked his things, cleaned himself, sat down on the bed and started cultivating after summoning his martial spirit.
"Fifty times boost was enough to fight Zhao Wuji, but if it was a fight to the death with someone of his level then I'd have to use hundred times boost just to be on the safe side.
This is just spirit sage level. There are still soul douluo and title douluo levels above it. I am not worried about soul douluo but title douluo can be tricky.
Especially one with spirit rings above eighty thousand years of age can have some cheat like skills that can directly counter my current abilities."
While he was cultivating, suddenly he got the message from the Gem that it was time. A smile appeared on his face after getting that message but he was not surprised.
Currently he was a level forty spirit elder having gotten three spirit rings in the last five years. It took him six months to cultivate upto level twenty and get his second spirit ring, eighteen months to cultivate upto level thirty, six months to get his third spirit ring and twenty four months to cultivate upto level forty approximately.
He had noticed that it usually took approximately six months for his martial spirit to get spirit ring while the time taken to cultivate the ten levels between two spirit rings was increasing by roughly six months after gaining every ring.
His cultivation had reached level forty roughly six months ago and he had been cultivating patiently while waiting for the message for the last week.
He knew from his knowledge about the novel that things may appear peaceful for now but soon everything will turn chaotic.
Within two years, Shrek Academy will participate in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament.
Things will start to go bad from that point onwards and spirit hall will start to show its true face.
He knew that once he gets his next spirit ring and reaches level forty one, it will take him nearly three years to get his next spirit ring and for the next one after that he will need nearly three and half years.
This means that by the time he is eighteen and half years of age, he will only be a spirit emperor. For others it may be a big deal but for him, the one who has the Power Gem as his martial spirit, this was a disgrace.
He knows that if everything goes according to the novel, once Tang San and others start participating in the Sea God's trial, their cultivation speed will go through the roof.
That's why, he had decided that the next ability he needed from his ring was something that will boost his cultivation speed and he already had an idea about which ability he needed for that. It was an ability which a certain Shonen anime protagonist loved to spam against his opponents.
