Fighting the Immovable Wisdom King
With the multiple enhancements of four life-attribute Soul Rings, the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, and the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass had reached an incredibly formidable level of resilience. Even a strength-type Soul Saint would find it extremely difficult to break it with sheer physical strength alone.
Zhao Wuji frowned and had no choice but to summon his Martial Soul. His body trembled violently as powerful Soul Power surged from within him, his muscles bulged, and his veins stood out.
After the Martial Soul Possession, his strength increased dramatically. Zhao Wuji struggled violently, and with a crisp "bang," he finally broke the Blue Silver Grass on his ankle.
Tang San also figured it out. Zhao Wuji couldn't break free of the Blue Silver Grass with his physical body; he could only do so by relying on the power of his Martial Soul Possession.
This means that Zhao Wuji has to consume a lot of Soul Power and physical strength every time he breaks free from the Blue Silver Grass, while he only needs to consume a small amount of Soul Power to continuously regenerate the Blue Silver Grass.
It's a war of attrition; level 49 versus level 76, the advantage is in my hands.
Without the slightest hesitation, Tang San immediately activated his Third Soul Skill. His Third Soul Ring lit up, and his Third Soul Skill, Blue Silver Heart-Link, was activated, establishing a mental connection. Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing simultaneously felt a strange sensation in their minds, as if an invisible thread was connecting their thoughts together.
Tang San's voice echoed in their minds, "Can you hear me?"
Xiao Wu blinked and answered in her mind, "Yes!"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
The buffs from the Third Soul Skill take effect simultaneously: Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Power and life force recovery speed are increased by 100%, and all attributes are increased by 30%.
The two felt a warm current surge through their bodies, and their strength, speed, and reaction were all significantly stronger than usual.
Tang San nodded to Ning Rongrong.
Ning Rongrong took a deep breath, raised the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda with both hands, and seven-colored light radiated from the pagoda. "The Seven Treasures Have Names, the First: Strength, the Second: Speed."
Four beams of light shot out from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, landing on Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing respectively. Both of them felt their strength and speed increase significantly.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is known as the number one support skill in the world because the amplification of all its Soul Skills increases with the number of Soul Rings Soul Master has. For each additional Soul Ring, all amplifications increase by 10%.
Ning Rongrong now possesses two Soul Rings, so both of her Soul Skills have a 30% increase in power.
Immediately afterwards, Tang San's First Soul Ring lit up, the Evergreen Body was activated, and the resilience of Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was greatly enhanced once again.
With a thought, Tang San sent three strands of Blue Silver Grass towards Zhao Wuji from three different directions.
One sword lashed out at Zhao Wuji's face from the front, another wrapped around Zhao Wuji arm from the left, and a third stabbed at Zhao Wuji ribs from the right. Three directions, three attack methods—a perfect application of Heart Separation Control.
Zhao Wuji sensed that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass had become much more resilient than before, so he dared not be careless anymore and immediately activated his first Soul Skill, Immovable Bright King Body, greatly increasing his defense and weakening any attacks that came close.
At the same time, Zhao Wuji unleashed his second Soul Skill, the Great Strength Vajra Palm.
He slammed out his right palm, the wind howling, shattering the Blue Silver Grass that was being swung at him head-on.
With a swing of his left arm, he swept away the vines that were wrapping around him from the left. With a twist of his waist, he dodged the vines that were stabbing at him from the right.
The attacks from all three directions were blocked.
Tang San simultaneously commanded Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing to advance.
Xiao Wu's body shot out like an arrow, rushing towards Zhao Wuji from the left, unleashing a series of kicks aimed at Zhao Wuji's head.
Zhu Zhuqing's figure flashed out from the right like Gui Mei, her cat claws gleaming coldly, heading straight for Zhao Wuji's head.
The two moved extremely fast, one on the left and one on the right.
Zhao Wuji used his left hand to block Xiao Wu's leg, his right hand to block Zhu Zhuqing's claws, and also had to deal with Tang San's endless stream of Blue Silver Grass. For a moment, he was overwhelmed and the battle became stalemate.
A moment later, Zhao Wuji realized that if things continued like this, they would easily be dragged out for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Zhao Wuji gritted his teeth and immediately activated his Third Soul Skill, Gravity Enhancement. His Third Soul Ring lit up, and an earthy yellow light spread out from his feet, covering an area of several tens of meters in radius.
The gravity within the area instantly increased several times, and the air became heavy. Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing felt their bodies suddenly sink, their speed decreased sharply, and their movements became sluggish.
Immediately afterward, Zhao Wuji activated his Fourth Soul Skill, Position Tracking. An invisible Divine Imprint locked onto Xiao Wu.
Zhao Wuji realized that although Xiao Wu's attack power was not the strongest, her body's flexibility was extremely difficult to deal with, and she seemed to have the best teamwork with Tang San. He wanted to eliminate Xiao Wu first.
Tang San sensed Zhao Wuji's target immediately and promptly warned Xiao Wu through their mental connection, "Be careful, Teacher Zhao has locked onto you!"
Xiao Wu reacted extremely quickly. Her Third Soul Ring lit up, and she activated her Third Soul Skill, Teleportation. Xiao Wu's figure vanished from her spot and reappeared ten meters away in the next instant.
Zhao Wuji's lock-on failed, and the force of the Gravity Compression struck the open ground, blasting a large crater and scattering dirt everywhere.
Zhao Wuji's expression turned serious. He sighed inwardly, thinking how troublesome Xiao Wu and Tang San were. One possessed an endless supply of incredibly resilient Blue Silver Grass, which seemed inexhaustible no matter how hard he tried; the other's body flexibility and Teleportation skills were perfectly coordinated, making him impossible to hit.
Zhao Wuji changed his target and locked onto Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing and Tang San had only just met, and their cooperation was very unfamiliar, making it easy for the experienced Zhao Wuji to find a weakness in their relationship.
Zhao Wuji deliberately created an opening, and while Zhu Zhuqing was attacking, he punched her away.
Tang San immediately extended a Blue Silver Grass to catch Zhu Zhuqing and then placed it next to Oscar.
Zhu Zhuqing had blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, clearly indicating that she had suffered a minor injury.
However, Zhu Zhuqing's elimination did not have any impact on Tang San and Xiao Wu. The two had been working together for many years and their tacit understanding was already at its peak.
Zhao Wuji was exhausted and increasingly frustrated. How could a dignified level 76 Soul Saint be held up for so long by a few twelve or thirteen-year-old brats? How could he face anyone after that?
Zhao Wuji felt extremely embarrassed; his face turned ashen, and the veins on his forehead bulged. His Seventh Soul Ring lit up, Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul Avatar.
Zhao Wuji's body suddenly swelled up, his muscles bulged exaggeratedly, and a golden luster appeared on his skin, making him look like a Vajra. His strength and defense increased by 150%, and he became an unstoppable war machine.
Tang San no longer held back. Five strands of Blue Silver Grass flew out from his palms at the same time, transforming into different shapes in the air. Some transformed into whips to lash out, some into spears to thrust, some into ropes to Entanglement, some into shields to block, and some into spikes to pierce out from the ground.
Five strands of Blue Silver Grass, their spear tips as sharp as needles, pierced Zhao Wuji's body, producing a "clanging" metallic clanging sound.
However, Zhao Wuji's defense was indeed strong. The spear formed from the Blue Silver Grass pierced Zhao Wuji's body, only slightly scratching his skin and leaving only thin bloody marks.
In his Martial Soul Avatar state, Zhao Wuji's defensive power has reached an extremely terrifying level; ordinary attacks can hardly break through his defenses.
Zhao Wuji ignored Tang San's Blue Silver Grass, as it couldn't harm him for the time being. Zhao Wuji used his Fifth Soul Skill, Gravity Compression. Earthy yellow light surged from his palm, forming a huge force field that pressed down on Xiao Wu.
Zhao Wuji's goal was clear: to get close to Tang San, he needed to expend a great deal of Soul Power to break through the defense formed by the Blue Silver Grass. Only Xiao Wu could get close, so he could take her out first.
