Defeating Tang San, Second Martial Soul

Even though Tang San is not as strong as Xiao Wu right now, Xiao Wu is Tang San's loyal little fan and actually helped Tang San out of a predicament.

If the power of the Ten Treasures Ultimate Slash hadn't been deliberately reduced, the final sword aura of the Ten Treasures Ultimate Slash could have pierced through Xiao Wu's body the instant her Invincible Golden Body failed.

After breaking free from his restraints, Tang San gave Xiao Wu a grateful look, and the two faced Ning Rongrong again.

However, Tang San soon discovered that none of his control-type Soul Skill could affect Ning Rongrong, while Xiao Wu was able to fight Ning Rongrong on equal terms in close combat.

At this moment, he was completely reduced to a decorative vase, which severely damaged his self-esteem.

He always thought that Xiao Wu was able to grow on her own, but he never expected that he was able to escape from Ning Rongrong's clutches thanks to Xiao Wu.

However, in his eyes, Xiao Wu could fight Ning Rongrong to a standstill, but in other people's eyes, Xiao Wu was always being suppressed by Ning Rongrong. Because of her advantage in the air, Ning Rongrong could easily knock Xiao Wu back several steps with a single sword strike each time she came down.

This was just a normal attack.

If Ning Rongrong had used her Soul Skill, Xiao Wu would probably have been eliminated long ago.

Unless she continuously casts Invincible Golden Body.

While others might not understand, everyone present knew that Xiao Wu's Invincible Golden Body had a daily limit on the number of uses, and she couldn't use it all unless absolutely necessary.

This was Yu Xiaogang's instruction to her.

Without his Invincible Golden Body, how many of Ning Rongrong's attacks could he withstand?

Thud--

Thud--

Thud--

Ning Rongrong's attacks forced Xiao Wu into a retreat, while Tang San could only watch helplessly from the sidelines.

Finally, Ning Rongrong lost all patience, shouting, "Ten Treasures Demon Sect Slash!"

The Third Soul Skill of the First Soul Ring is a powerful Soul Skill that briefly provides the user with a twenty-fold power boost.

As the sword swept Xiao Wu away, the Soul Skill arrived silently.

Either unleash your Invincible Golden Body again to block it, or go down below and cheer for Tang San.

"Invincible Golden Body!"

But Xiao Wu was determined to fight Ning Rongrong.

The Invincible Golden Body, which is supposed to be used three times a day, was used twice in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

This was something no one had expected.

"Hateful."

Tang San clenched his fists, anxious for Xiao Wu. His face was somewhat ferocious, as if he were conflicted.

Actually, he could have helped Xiao Wu out of that predicament.

After all, Tang San still has his Second Martial Soul – the Clear Sky Hammer. Although he doesn't have Soul Ring or Soul Skill yet, he has the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, which is no less powerful than Soul Skill.

It's just a pity that Yu Xiaogang once told him not to use the Clear Sky Hammer lightly, and he agreed.

Even though Xiao Wu was under pressure at every turn, he was still conflicted.

Unlike Xiao Wu, who has already used her Invincible Golden Body twice.

"That's a bug!"

Seeing Xiao Wu unleash her Invincible Golden Body, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but sigh. This Soul Skill was almost as disgusting as Teleportation.

Although she also possesses a similar Soul Skill.

Since Xiao Wu can't deal with him in a short time, let's deal with Tang San first.

Whoosh--

With her enormous Jade Phoenix Twin Wings unfurled, Ning Rongrong soared into the sky once more, her target subtly shifting. Just when everyone thought her next target would be Xiao Wu, she unleashed a powerful "Glazed Wind-Breaking Stance!"

The sword pointed high into the sky, and a fierce wind suddenly arose, raging across the entire 2v2 arena of the Great Soul Arena. The sword pointed to the ground, and the arena began to crumble.

Ning Rongrong released a whirlwind that dragged Zhu Zhuqing into the air as well, but Xiao Wu and Tang San were not so lucky.

Tang San, in particular, was not as agile as Xiao Wu and stumbled along the way.

Xiao Wu even wanted to help Tang San, but she herself was in a very awkward situation.

A strong gale separated the two.

Tang San initially used Blue Silver Grass to fix himself to the competition venue, attempting to hold out for a while.

But what exactly is the Glazed Wind-Breaking Stance?

That's Soul Skill from the Right Arm Soul Bone that's 500,000 years old.

This is something Tang San is currently unable to resist.

In just a moment, all the Blue Silver Grass was shattered, and Tang San's body was swept away by the gale, crashing heavily outside the arena, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Third Brother!" Xiao Wu cried out in distress amidst the raging winds and earthquake, but received no response.

But seeing Tang San fall off the field, Xiao Wu lost the will to fight.

Soon, swept away by the gale, he too was thrown out.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood, but did not stop because of his injuries. Instead, he rushed towards Tang San.

Thus, the Zhu Rong Combination ultimately won the competition.

It was slightly more difficult than expected, but slightly easier than what followed, as expected.

There's a feeling I can't quite describe.

After the host declared them the winners, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing landed on the already dilapidated ground.

Zhu Zhuqing felt no joy after the victory; instead, she looked at Xiao Wu with some pity. "Rongrong, why is she so obsessed with Tang San? What's so good about Tang San anyway?"

Ning Rongrong pondered for a long time, "Perhaps when you need someone the most, someone appears, and at that time you don't know if he's good or bad, you only know that he's there, filling the emptiness in your heart."

"So, is Tang San really worth Xiao Wu doing this for?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.

"Who knows?" Ning Rongrong shook her head and sighed, "From our perspective, it's not worth it. But from Xiao Wu's perspective, it might be worth it. Nobody can say for sure."

After all, they met when they were at the most innocent age of their lives.

No matter how the story unfolds in the future, their relationship will remain stable.

The unchanging fact is divine intervention.

"Should we try to persuade her?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.

"No need, everyone has their own choices."

Ning Rongrong continued to shake her head.

The matches in this Great Soul Arena aren't very prestigious, and nothing major happened, so whether or not you try to make peace at this point makes little difference.

Let's wait until the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament is over before making a decision.

It seems like it'll be soon.

When I have stayed at the Shrek Academy for two full years, the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament will begin.

It won't be long.

"Ding~"

"Congratulations, host, on your first direct victory over Tang San."

"Ding~"

Congratulations, host, you have received a hidden reward.

"Identity Points increased by 100,000."

"Soul Power Level increased by 1 level."

"The true age of any Soul Ring has been increased by 400,000 years."

"Obtained the Second Martial Soul - Fire-Stoking Stick."

Just then...

A system notification sounded.

As Ning Rongrong led Zhu Zhuqing away, she observed the rewards.

As expected, just as predicted.

The rewards for completing hidden quests related to Tang San are far greater than those for completing other hidden quests.

Tang San was the biggest cornerstone in her growth.

I am extremely grateful.

Meanwhile, in a corner of the Great Soul Arena, a pair of sharp eyes were fixed on Ning Rongrong...
