Qian Yuling vs. Zhao Wuji

Oscar's expression gradually turned strange when he heard Qian Yuling's words, but his hands were swift. After softly saying something, he took Qian Yuling's five Copper Soul Coins and gave her a Great Recovery Sausage.

After taking the sausage, Qian Yuling hid it behind her back and walked toward Zhu Zhuqing with a mischievous smile.

Although the expression on Qian Yuling's face was rather cute, Zhu Zhuqing inexplicably shuddered.

"Zhuqing, how does your body feel?" Qian Yuling asked, blinking.

"A little weak. I can't muster any strength," Zhu Zhuqing replied.

"Oh, oh." Qian Yuling gave a sly smile. Taking out the Great Recovery Sausage she had hidden behind her back, she said, "You won't be weak after eating this. I've already had one—the taste is pretty good, and the effect is great. If you don't have the strength, I'll feed you."

"Ah." The moment Zhu Zhuqing heard that Qian Yuling wanted to feed her Oscar's Great Recovery Sausage, she panicked.

"No, no."

"Come on, open your mouth. It's delicious."

Zhu Zhuqing was clearly in no position to resist Qian Yuling. No matter how unwilling she was, she still ended up eating the Great Recovery Sausage.

Dai Mubai had originally wanted to stop Qian Yuling from behind, but she turned around and shot him a glare. Dai Mubai obediently remained where he was.

There was no helping it. He couldn't beat Qian Yuling.

"How is it? Feeling better?" Qian Yuling asked.

"Hmph." Zhu Zhuqing stood up and turned her head to the side, only to find Dai Mubai directly in her line of sight. She promptly turned back.

"Don't be like that. I refused at first too, but the effect really is great, so don't be mad." Qian Yuling repeatedly poked her two index fingers together.

Seeing Qian Yuling acting cute, Zhu Zhuqing burst out laughing. She had never been angry in the first place. She simply had not expected Oscar's Great Recovery Sausage to work so well—and it did not taste bad either.

After eating the Great Recovery Sausage, Zhu Zhuqing was already able to stand on her own. Xiao Wu, who had not eaten one, could only lean on Ning Rongrong for support, while Tang San was still sitting where he was, resting. Getting those two to eat Oscar's Great Recovery Sausage was practically impossible.

I can't teach Qian Yuling a lesson, but can't I teach you one? Dai Mubai turned his gaze toward Oscar.

Oscar shuddered under Dai Mubai's stare and timidly said, "B-Boss Dai?"

Dai Mubai chuckled. "Later, you and I are having a practical combat training session."

"No, Boss Dai!" Oscar pleaded.

"Alright, time's almost up. Yu Ling, are you ready for the test?" Zhao Wuji's booming voice rang out.

Qian Yuling stepped forward and replied, "I'm ready."

"Then begin." Zhao Wuji lit a stick of incense and, as before, planted it in the ground some distance away.

Qian Yuling circulated her Soul Power, and a luminous white Staff appeared in her right hand. Two yellow, one purple, and one white Soul Ring rose beneath her feet. The fourth white Soul Ring began to flash.

"A... Soul Ancestor?!" Oscar looked as though he had seen a ghost.

"Contract Summon—Louise." Qian Yuling's pleasant voice rang out.

"Haha, what do you need your big sister for?" Louise appeared before Qian Yuling.

"Big Sister Louise, let's beat him up together." Qian Yuling pointed at Zhao Wuji in the distance.

Summoned Beast Berserk. Qian Yuling activated the second skill of her fourth Soul Ring.

A faint reddish aura gradually began to rise from Louise's body.

After summoning Louise, Qian Yuling withdrew her World Tree Root Martial Soul and continued circulating her Soul Power.

Qian Yuling's aura began to surge as well. Her originally light-purple hair turned deep purple, while her eyebrows and pupils became gold. A faint purple mist radiated around her, and her entire body seemed to be filled with a sacred aura.

Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar, Dai Mubai, and even Zhao Wuji all widened their eyes. They could all clearly sense that Qian Yuling's aura had risen significantly. Only Oscar was focused on something else, his eyes turning into hearts as he said, "This junior sister is so pretty."

Zhao Wuji's expression grew somewhat grave. Louise's strength was already no weaker than that of a Soul King, while Qian Yuling's current strength was something he could not quite gauge. He had initially thought that Qian Yuling could only rely on her Summoned Beasts in battle, but it seemed reality was somewhat different from what he had expected.

Qian Yuling and Louise nodded to each other. Qian Yuling shot forward, leaving an afterimage where she had stood.

"What kind of speed is that???" Everyone present was dumbfounded, especially Zhu Zhuqing. As an Agility Attack System Soul Master, she knew Qian Yuling was far faster than she was.

Ice Pillar. Holding a purple-gold Staff, Louise summoned four ice pillars around Zhao Wuji, restricting his movements.

Immovable Wisdom King Body.

Great Strength Vajra Palm.

Zhao Wuji chained his First Soul Skill and Second Soul Skill together. His Great Strength Vajra Palm, strengthened by the Immovable Wisdom King Body, instantly shattered the surrounding ice pillars.

But that did not matter. Qian Yuling had already arrived in front of Zhao Wuji. She clenched her tiny fist and threw a punch straight at him.

After being strengthened by the Corpse Dragon, Qian Yuling's body was already far tougher than that of Beast Spirit Soul Masters of the same rank in the Assault System. Moreover, she was incredibly fast. Zhao Wuji had no choice but to take the blow head-on.

Zhao Wuji staggered back three steps.

"What!" Dai Mubai was dumbfounded. A Soul Ancestor who was not from the Assault System had punched Zhao Wuji, with his Immovable Wisdom King Body activated, back three steps.

Dai Mubai was not the only one stunned. Everyone else present was equally dumbfounded. Naturally, Zhao Wuji himself was the most shocked. He knew exactly how strong his defense was with the Immovable Wisdom King Body activated. Let alone a Soul Ancestor—even a Soul Emperor could not make him retreat three steps.

"Very good." Zhao Wuji's fighting spirit was stirred once more. Perhaps even he did not realize that he was getting carried away again.

Qian Yuling's punch had ended, but Louise had not been idle while Qian Yuling attacked.

Frozen Needle.

A dense row of ice spikes floated before Louise. With a wave of her Staff, the spikes shot toward Zhao Wuji.

Qian Yuling flashed away, evading the spikes.

But Zhao Wuji was nowhere near as fast. Left with no other choice, he could only use the Immovable Wisdom King Body to withstand them head-on.

The ice spikes possessed some piercing power. Although most were blocked by Zhao Wuji's Immovable Wisdom King Body, a small portion still struck his body.

Gravity Crush. Zhao Wuji's Fifth Soul Ring lit up. The pain across his body made Zhao Wuji activate his Fifth Soul Skill once again—Gravity Crush.

A terrifying pressure formed around Qian Yuling and continuously crushed inward toward her.

This pressure was far stronger than the one Tang San had faced before.

Damn it. I got carried away again. Zhao Wuji cursed inwardly and prepared to withdraw the pressure. But just as he was about to do so, his expression became rather colorful.

Qian Yuling in the distance seemed to feel no pressure at all. She did not even furrow her brow.

"What? Impossible." Tang San was the most shocked. Having faced Zhao Wuji's Fifth Soul Skill, Gravity Crush, himself, he knew exactly how terrifying that pressure was.

"Good heavens, she's no ordinary little monster at all." Though Zhao Wuji was shocked, he was even happier. No matter how strong Qian Yuling was, she would soon be a Shrek student. His student, Zhao Wuji's student.

Meteor. Louise unleashed her strongest attack.

A small flaming Meteor slowly formed in the sky and rapidly plunged downward, its target none other than Zhao Wuji.
