Zhao Wuji produced another stick of incense. Before he could light it, Ning Rongrong had already made the first move.

"Seven Treasures Turn into Glazed Glaze." She spun gracefully in place, and dazzling seven-colored light immediately burst from her body. At the point where the rainbow light converged, a seven-colored pagoda over a foot tall appeared in Ning Rongrong's right palm.

The treasure light shimmered, radiating nobility. Ning Rongrong smiled, looking like an immortal maiden. Two yellow soul rings rose from beneath her feet and quietly revolved around her body.

"The Seven Treasures have names: first, Strength. Second, Speed." The two soul rings enveloped the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda in succession, and four streams of colored light flew out, covering Tang San and the other three.

Qian Yuling was already used to the enhancement effects of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. Feeling that familiar power, she wanted to fight Zhao Wuji even more.

Zhao Wuji looked at Ning Rongrong in surprise. "Well, well. One of this year's examinees is actually from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan. Not bad, not bad. That old bastard Flender is definitely going to be thrilled this time." As he spoke, the incense in his hand had already been lit. He casually tossed it aside, where it stuck into the ground.

Tang San secretly marveled. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda truly lived up to its reputation. It was indeed the number one martial soul of the Support System. With both speed and strength increased by thirty percent, he immediately felt his power surge.

At that moment, Zhao Wuji moved. He did not charge toward Tang San's group of five. Instead, he half-crouched and smashed both fists into the ground at once.

Seeing Zhao Wuji's posture, Tang San understood what was coming. He hurriedly used Blue Silver Grass to pull Ning Rongrong up into the air. He also used Blue Silver Grass to launch himself airborne.

With a boom, a ring of earth-yellow ripples appeared on the ground and surged toward the five of them.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing reacted just as swiftly, leaping up to evade Zhao Wuji's attack.

Only Qian Yuling summoned her martial soul, and a gleaming white staff appeared in her hand.

Just as the ripple was about to strike Qian Yuling, she chanted, "Lesser Spirit Summon."

Qian Yuling's first yellow soul ring lit up. At the same time, her Passive Soul Skill, Unyielding Will, activated.

Unyielding Will—when Qian Yuling used a soul skill, she herself entered an invincible state.

The earth-yellow ripple gradually faded, leaving thick smoke across the field.

"Yu Ling!" Zhu Zhuqing shouted. She deeply regretted not bringing Qian Yuling into the air with her.

Zhao Wuji was also stunned. He had not expected that move to hit any of the five. From the moment Tang San acted, he had known his attack would miss, but he had not expected that purple-haired girl not to dodge. He was a Soul Saint—an attack casually unleashed by him was not something a low-level soul master could simply withstand.

The smoke on the field dispersed. Qian Yuling stood before everyone completely unharmed. Four little spirits floated in front of her.

"What?" Zhao Wuji could not believe his eyes. It was not only because Qian Yuling was uninjured, but also because of her four soul rings.

Zhu Zhuqing, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief. Tang San looked thoughtful.

Qian Yuling continued chanting, "Upper Spirit Summon." Her third soul ring flickered.

The four little spirits vanished from the field, replaced by four towering figures.

The four High-level Spirits radiated four different Ultimate Attributes.

"So this is your true strength." Feeling the oppressive presence of the High-level Spirits, Tang San muttered to himself. But he quickly came back to his senses and said, "Xiao Wu, go."

The tacit understanding between Xiao Wu and Tang San had reached an extraordinary level. Without needing any explanation, Xiao Wu borrowed Tang San's power to reach Zhao Wuji.

Xiao Wu was extremely fast. In an instant, she completed Martial Soul Possession and planted both feet on Zhao Wuji's shoulders.

First Soul SkillWaist Bow.

Yet Zhao Wuji did not even sway. He grinned. "Doesn't seem like you have much strength, little girl."

Xiao Wu snorted. No strength? Then I'll show you what strength is. Her feet seemed glued to Zhao Wuji's shoulders. Her toes suddenly curled inward, pressing against the major arteries on either side of his neck. She twisted her delicate body with all her might and began spinning through the air.

Xiao Wu's strength alone would have been far from enough, but Tang San was acting as well. On top of that, there was Ning Rongrong's support.

"Spinning around is pretty fun too," Zhao Wuji's voice rang out.

Xiao Wu suddenly realized that she could no longer move Zhao Wuji's body.

With a bang, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass shattered completely. At the same time, Zhao Wuji completed Martial Soul Possession. His body instantly grew larger, and most eye-catching of all were the seven soul rings circling around him.

Clang, clang, clang...

Zhu Zhuqing had also been continuously changing positions as she attacked Zhao Wuji.

Feeling Zhao Wuji's formidable Soul Power, Qian Yuling no longer dared to hold back. Her fourth soul ring flashed as she chanted, "Contract SummonLouise."

"Haha, what do you need your big sister for?" A voice Qian Yuling knew well rang out.

A purple figure appeared in front of Qian Yuling.

But Qian Yuling did not stop. She continued chanting, "Summoned Beast Berserk."

The auras of the four High-level Spirits and Louise immediately soared, and their expressions changed. They charged straight at Zhao Wuji.

"Xiao Wu, Zhuqing, get away!" Qian Yuling called out, because all the Babies she had summoned used area attacks.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly retreated at her words. Unlike Zhao Wuji's probing attacks, Qian Yuling was going all out. The two of them knew that if they did not move away, they would definitely be caught in the blast.

Ice Shadow AquilisSeven-Layered Ice Missiles.

Flame HreikFlame Exploding Sword Technique.

Aurora GrellinHeavenly Thunder.

Undead MorckelBlack Mist.

Witch LouiseMeteor.

After Qian Yuling unleashed Summoned Beast Berserk, the five Summoned Beasts showed no mercy and directly unleashed their finishing moves.

"Immovable Wisdom King Body." Zhao Wuji sensed that something was wrong and used his First Soul Skill. His first yellow soul ring flashed, and intense golden light appeared around his body.

After Zhao Wuji unleashed his First Soul Skill, the finishing moves of all five Summoned Beasts crashed into him.

First, Aurora Grellin's Heavenly Thunder directly threw Zhao Wuji into a paralyzed state and dealt considerable damage. Undead Morckel's Black Mist continuously drained Zhao Wuji's Soul Power. Ice Shadow Aquilis's Seven-Layered Ice Missiles greatly reduced Zhao Wuji's speed and froze him. Flame Hreik's Flame Exploding Sword Technique shattered the ice, inflicting substantial damage on Zhao Wuji. Finally, the small Meteor launched by Witch Louise slowly appeared overhead. Since Zhao Wuji was paralyzed, he could not evade it at all, and the Meteor fell directly onto him. It then exploded, dealing a second wave of damage.

"Damn, that's powerful." Dai Mubai stared in shock. If those five attacks had landed on him, he probably would not have lived to see another sunrise.

Dai Mubai was not the only one stunned. Tang San and the other three were all frozen in place as well.

"Is this the strength of a Soul Ancestor?" Tang San's eyes brimmed with longing for that power.

By now, the incense had burned halfway down. Qian Yuling's group of five remained on the field, watching Zhao Wuji, who had taken five finishing moves head-on.

Zhao Wuji slowly rose to his feet and spat out a mouthful of blood. "Well, well. What a little monster. It's been a long time since I've had this feeling."

Teacher Zhao was actually injured. After seeing Zhao Wuji spit blood, Dai Mubai's mind buzzed. He could not imagine that Teacher Zhao, a seven-ring Soul Saint with a perfect soul ring configuration and the Great Strength Vajra Bear martial soul, had been injured by a Soul Ancestor with a ten-year soul ring, even though Teacher Zhao had only used his First Soul Skill.

So my Babies are actually this powerful. Qian Yuling thought happily. Looks like I can last through a stick of incense without even using Jieyi Gong.
