Chapter 255
"Bite!"
"Combat detected. Reward: Ten Rings"
The power of the Ten Rings is very strong, but the development of the Ten Rings by Wenwu is very superficial, except for the passive longevity, or rather, immortality, that comes with using them.
In Wenwu's hands, the Ten Rings is the simplest and most basic energy-type weapon.
It could be said that Wenwu did not truly master the Ten Rings; otherwise, Ying Li Shang-Chi would not have been able to easily take them away and control Ten Rings in the movie.
If we compare the Ten Rings to a magic weapon, Wenwu only used the most basic ability when the magic weapon was without a master.
However, Ying Li Shang-Chi, who possess the Dragon Power, were able to make the Ten Rings recognize them as their master, easily snatching them from Wenwu's hands and unleashing even greater power!
After exchanging a few tentative blows Ying Nan Wenwu and roughly understanding Wenwu Ten Rings, Ying Nan seized an opportunity and used the Dragon Power to hold back the incoming attack from Ten Rings.
In the blink of an eye, the Ten Rings, which were originally shining with a blue light, turned into a dazzling golden light and began to shimmer.
"You..." Wenwu was shocked, his brows furrowed as he rushed forward to try and snatch back his weapon.
Ying Nan casually flicked his wrist and threw the Ten Rings directly.
"Bang!"
Wenwu was hit in the chest by the Ten Rings, vomited blood and collapsed to the ground.
Ying Nan stretched out her arms, and with a few whooshing sounds, the Ten Rings passed through her fists and looped around her arms.
"This weapon... is quite interesting!" Ying Nan looked down at the Ten Rings, seemingly quite pleased with it.
Wenwu, who had fallen to the ground, reached out his arm to try to recall the Ten Rings, but the Ten Rings were still on Ying Nan's arm and wouldn't budge!
The weapon that made him famous was just stolen like that?
Although Ying Nan liked the Ten Rings, she had no intention of forcibly taking them for herself.
Seeing that the other party was staring intently at the Ten Rings, Ying Nan flicked her arm slightly, and the Ten Rings flew out of her arm and landed in front of Wenwu.
It must be said that the people of Taro Village are all very upright and honest; otherwise, they would not be able to guard the seal of the Dark Door.
After all, anyone with impure thoughts or selfish motives could be influenced and bewitched by the Soul Eater.
Wenwu glanced at the dull and lifeless Ten Rings, put it away, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
With the Ten Rings pierced through his arm, Wenwu slowly stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said in a deep voice, "I lost, but I must get into Ta Lo."
"Don't be ungrateful!" Ying Nan frowned and shouted.
Wenwu remained silent, but his attitude was very firm.
He has already conquered many places, Ta Lo is now his target for conquest, especially after the opponent was able to master the Ten Rings, he is even more determined to conquer it.
He wanted to figure out why people who Ta Lo could master the Ten Rings, and then... make sure that from then on, only he could master the Ten Rings!
This idea is perfectly normal. No one can accept that someone else can easily snatch such a powerful weapon as the Ten Rings from their hands, and that it is even more powerful than when they used it!
"Since you insist on getting into Ta Lo, fine, I'll give you a chance."
"Three games. If you can win any one of them, I'll let you into the Ta Lo. If you lose them all, you can leave the Ten Rings behind."
Su Quan's suggestion made Wenwu ponder for a moment before he spoke up, "You cannot take the Ten Rings before the outcome is decided."
"Can!"
Su Quan agreed.
With Ying Li's strength, she could defeat Wenwu even without aiming for the Ten Rings.
As for myself, need I say more?
"Alright, let's begin the second round."
Wenwu assumed his stance, Ten Rings lit up with blue light once again.
Just like Ying Nan before her, Ying Li glided over to Wenwu and made her move immediately.
The two sisters have identical kung fu styles, both following a graceful and agile approach, using the opponent's force against them, and overcoming strength with softness.
Wenwu arts and martial arts belong to the category of "iron horse and hard bridge," with each move being wide and powerful, fierce Tyrant's Path. Coupled with the Ten Rings, the sound of fighting is deafening and earth-shattering.
Only...
A flurry of actions, but the output is a mere 250.
Aside from cracking a few rocks and breaking a few trees, it didn't even touch the hem of Ying Li's clothes.
Ying Li moved with ease and grace, not only dodging and neutralizing Wenwu's attacks with ease, but also using the Dragon Power to collide with the Ten Rings several times.
In terms of power, the Ten Rings are definitely stronger than the Dragon Power, but unfortunately, Wenwu has not truly mastered the Ten Rings, and its development level is approximately zero.
His own skills were far inferior to Ying Li's, and the result... was predictable!
After a hundred moves, Ying Li seized the opportunity and launched a fierce attack on Wenwu before the Ten Rings had returned.
"Bang!"
Ying Li slapped the returning Ten Rings backhand, then moved with lightning speed, quickly changing her move and punching Wenwu in the chest.
The punch landed squarely on the spot where Wenwu had been injured during his fight with Ying Nan.
"Thump thump thump..." Wenwu took several steps back, withdrew the Ten Rings, and suppressed the churning blood in his throat.
"I lost."
Although Wenwu was unwilling, he frankly admitted his defeat.
"Do you want to rest?" Su Quan asked Wenwu.
Wenwu didn't show off; he nodded and went to rest on his own.
He had already lost two out of three matches, and even though he was unwilling to admit it, he knew that his chances of winning the final match were extremely slim.
The final opponent was clearly the one in charge among them, and under normal circumstances, his strength would definitely be stronger than the previous two women!
However, Wenwu is not prepared to give up!
After years of fighting, there are few places or people left that can inspire his ambition.
Having gone through so much trouble to finally find Ta Lo, how could he possibly give up?!
Even if he loses, he needs to know himself and his enemy so that he can make a comeback in the future!
Half an hour later, Wenwu stood up and nodded to Su Quan.
Su Quan slowly walked towards Wenwu then drew out Ten Rings with both hands, arranged in groups of five, with the rings connected by energy, resembling two whips, which he swung rapidly left and right.
As it was waved, a blue circular energy shield gradually formed.
Is this a strategy of using defense as a substitute for offense?
Wenwu changed his strategy.
There was no point in deceiving himself; he knew very well that Su Quan's strength was no less than that of the two women.
His chances of winning are very low.
Should we make him give up on entering the Ta Lo?
He was unwilling to accept it!
The entrance to the Ta Lo is only open once a year. Even if he leaves now and goes back to gather his forces, it will be useless...
He definitely won't be able to enter the Ta Lo this year, so he might as well take this opportunity to learn more about the other party's strength and abilities!
Even if we leave the Ten Rings behind, we can come back next year and take them back!
He has that confidence.
So he gave up attacking, even giving up winning, and focused all his energy on defense, just to learn more.
He wielded the Ten Rings Hu Hu great skill, making the energy shield virtually impenetrable.
Su Quan, observing his actions, began to guess his intentions.
"Want to see my skills? You're probably going to be disappointed..."
Su Quan strolled leisurely to Wenwu's side, and seeing Wenwu's slightly solemn expression, he smiled and threw a punch.
The fist struck the energy shield generated by the Ten Rings, and with a loud bang, the airtight shield suddenly froze.
Immediately afterwards, a cracking sound rang out.
The protective shield has developed cracks.
Wenwu's expression froze, and he stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"How is that possible?"
"What kind of monstrous strength is this, that it can shatter a Ten Rings protective shield with a single punch?"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Terrified, Wenwu continuously activated the energy of the Ten Rings, attempting to repair the cracks and enhance the protective shield's defensive effect.
But it's like a swimming pool that's being filled in and drained out at the same time. The rate at which water is being filled out is far slower than the rate at which water is being drained out, so the pool can never be filled.
