Fierce Battle

Following Tang San's arrangements, Hermione and Ning Rongrong would provide support, Zhu Zhuqing would assist from the side, and Tang San would control the situation, restricting Zhao Wuji's attacks.

Although Zhao Xuan claimed to be a control-type, his monstrous strength made him more like an assault-type, so he was assigned as the main attacker, with Xiao Wu providing cover.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong naturally had no objections to this; Tang San's plan was very reasonable.

"Hey! You kids over there, are you ready? The incense is almost burned out."

Zhao Wuji's voice reached them. Everyone turned to look, and the curling smoke had just finished dissipating its last wisp.

"What kids! Sister Xiao Wu is a girl! A girl!" Sister Xiao Wu angrily waved her fair fists at Zhao Wuji.

"Oh, my apologies. My eyesight isn't very good with age, I didn't see, I didn't see," Zhao Wuji chuckled, scratching his head.

"Hmph, old man, you should go rest. What are you doing participating in a test?" With her arms crossed, Sister Xiao Wu glared at Zhao Wuji through gritted teeth.

"Enough with the nonsense, let's get started quickly." Zhao Wuji rubbed his temples as he glanced at Xiao Wu, then took out another stick of incense from his bosom, lit it, and stuck it into the ground.

The group exchanged glances, then Tang San nodded at Ning Rongrong. Ning Rongrong understood.

"Seven Treasures Manifest, Glazed Tile!"

A colorful stream of light surged from Ning Rongrong's body, converging into a seven-colored glazed pagoda in her right hand. The pagoda was about a foot tall, with seven-colored rainbow light hanging down like a necklace around it.

The treasure light shimmered, exuding an imposing aura of wealth. Ning Rongrong floated gracefully, her toes more than half a zhang off the ground. Two yellow Soul Rings slowly rose from her toes.

"The Seven Treasures Have Names: First, Power!"

The first yellow Soul Ring slowly ascended, and the first layer of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda simultaneously shone. Ning Rongrong lightly flicked her fingers, releasing five beams of rainbow light that enveloped Zhao Xuan and the others.

Instantly, Zhao Xuan and the others felt a warm energy flow through their limbs. Not only did their physical strength seem to solidify considerably, but even their Soul Power began to surge.

"Is this what a buff feels like? It's really strong."

Zhao Xuan clenched his fists, feeling a bit surprised. This was the first time he had experienced the power of such a Buffing Soul Skill; it truly lived up to its reputation!

Zhao Wuji, standing nearby, was also a little surprised. "There's actually someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?!"

Ning Rongrong remained unfazed and quickly applied her second Soul Skill to everyone.

"The Seven Treasures Have Names: Second, Speed!"

The Soul Ring beneath Ning Rongrong's feet rose and fell, and the second layer of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda bloomed with radiance. She once again flicked out five beams of rainbow light, enveloping the group.

As the rainbow light descended, their bodies felt as if they had lost weight, becoming instantly lighter, giving them a feeling of ethereal lightness.

At this moment, Zhao Wuji moved. He didn't charge towards Tang San and the other three, but instead squatted down, slamming both fists onto the ground simultaneously.

Tang San was startled and quickly exclaimed, "Not good! Xiao Xuan!"

"Understood!" Zhao Xuan's eyes narrowed, and he stomped his right foot hard on the ground.

An invisible force drilled into the ground and rushed towards Zhao Wuji, but it had only traveled a third of the way when the ground exploded with a roar, sending gravel flying!

"What the hell?" Zhao Wuji looked stunned, his sharp gaze fixed on Zhao Xuan.

Just now, he had sent a hidden force into the ground, intending to eliminate Ning Rongrong first and thus disrupt the buffs from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. However, he hadn't expected Zhao Xuan to interrupt him.

Zhao Wuji's eyes narrowed. This kid actually possessed such great strength.

"Interesting!"

Just then, Zhu Zhuqing, who had been looking for an opportunity, seized the moment Zhao Wuji was momentarily stunned and activated her First Soul Skill, Hell Stab!

Zhu Zhuqing's black figure flashed past, her long hair dancing in the air. Accompanied by a cold glint, she mercilessly lunged at Zhao Wuji.

Although Zhao Wuji was momentarily distracted, his combat experience and intuition were naturally incomparable to a bunch of youngsters. The instant Zhu Zhuqing made her move, Zhao Wuji snapped back to his senses.

The third Soul Ring on his body suddenly lit up. Those close to Zhao Wuji immediately felt their bodies sink, including Zhu Zhuqing, who was attacking, and Xiao Wu, who was waiting for an opportunity nearby.

Third Soul Skill: Gravity Enhancement!

Within the range of Zhao Wuji's third Soul Skill, everyone else's speed would be significantly reduced.

"Damn it!" The icy Zhu Zhuqing pursed her lips, thinking unwillingly. Due to the greatly reduced speed caused by the force on her body, she retreated without hesitation.

At the same time, Hermione, standing at the back, extended her right hand, and a wand settled steadily into it. A black academic robe was draped over her shoulders.

Hermione elegantly tapped her wand six times, and her first Soul Ring flashed continuously like a cluster of stars.

She parted her lips and said, "Spring Water Gushes Forth!"

Everyone felt as if a spring of clear water was washing over them, purifying them. The world seemed to become fresh and clean.

Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu, who were within the gravity field, had joy light up their faces as they felt the weight on their bodies vanish without a trace.

Tang San immediately activated his First Soul Skill, Entangle!

Crazy Blue Silver Grass instantly shot up from beneath Zhao Wuji's feet, wrapping around him tightly.

Zhao Wuji's expression turned grim, veins bulging on his forehead. "You brats are really troublesome!"

With a slight exertion, the restraints woven by the Blue Silver Grass snapped.

"Charm!" Before Zhao Wuji could react, Xiao Wu, in a bit of a panic, flew out and appeared in Zhao Wuji's field of vision, unleashing her Second Soul Skill, attempting to continue controlling Zhao Wuji's actions.

Zhao Xuan, who was about to move, changed his expression. "Not good!"

He instinctively met Xiao Wu's beautiful red eyes, and Zhao Wuji was momentarily dazed. However, this situation lasted only an instant. Due to the vast difference in Soul Power, Xiao Wu was instantly hit by a backlash.

Xiao Wu let out a muffled groan, blood actually seeping from both her nose and mouth!

"Xiao Wu!" Tang San cried out in alarm, instantly using a strand of Blue Silver Grass to catch Xiao Wu as she fell.

Zhao Xuan summoned his Martial Soul. His mobile phone instantly appeared and landed in his hand. With a thought, the phone transformed into a bracelet on his wrist.

His third Soul Ring flashed, and a string of numbers scrolled across the bracelet's screen. Zhao Xuan instantly appeared in front of Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji looked at Zhao Xuan, who had suddenly appeared before him, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. This was because another Zhao Xuan was still standing where he had just disappeared from.

Years of combat instinct set off alarm bells in his mind. Zhao Wuji sensed a strange, dangerous aura.

But just then, he saw Zhao Xuan's first Soul Ring flash. The punch he was about to throw faltered, and his body became unable to move.

"What?!" A look of horror flashed across Zhao Wuji's eyes.

And in the next moment, he saw Zhao Xuan smile at him, revealing a row of white teeth, and a fist ruthlessly slammed into his stomach.

"Pfft!"

Zhao Wuji spat out a mouthful of dark blood on the spot and was sent flying backward.

"Thump!" Dust flew as Zhao Wuji landed on the ground.

At this moment, everyone, including the enraged Tang San and the others, was stunned. Dai Mubai looked at Zhao Xuan with sheer terror in his eyes.

Zhao Wuji, a renowned Battle Soul Sage on the continent, had been sent flying by Zhao Xuan with a single punch?!

Zhao Xuan stood where he was, hands behind his back, his long hair dancing in the wind. His handsome face was devoid of emotion. He looked at Zhao Wuji lying on the ground, then casually glanced at Xiao Wu in Tang San's arms.

Immediately, he showed a look of pity. This is going to make Little San go berserk.

Just as Zhao Xuan had predicted, although his strength should have been roughly equal to Zhao Wuji's, it was impossible to knock him out with a single punch.

It was like two people of the same build; one punches the other in the stomach, and the other would only feel pain at most, let alone the fact that the other person was actually much tougher.

As expected, not long after, Zhao Wuji stood up, clutching his stomach. He glared fiercely at Zhao Xuan, "Damn it, it's like an eighty-year-old mother giving birth and falling backward onto her child. My lifelong reputation has been ruined by you brats."

"Kid! You're very good!" Zhao Wuji looked at Zhao Xuan, his gaze complex. How can there be such a monstrous kid? Never mind the Soul Skill, even his raw strength is terrifying.

Dai Mubai beside him swallowed hard. It turned out that Zhao Xuan hadn't been lying when he said he only used twenty percent of his strength that day.

"Are you going to continue?" Zhao Xuan asked playfully.

"Hmph! Of course. There's still a third of this incense stick left!" Zhao Wuji spat and stared intently at Zhao Xuan. If I can't defeat you, how can I be the vice-dean?!

Seeing Zhao Wuji acting as if nothing had happened, Zhao Xuan couldn't help but be stunned. As expected of the Great Strength Vajra Bear, his hide is truly thick!

He couldn't help but show a smile. Looks like I'll have some fun in the future.

But just then, Tang San's emotionless voice suddenly came from behind: "Wait!"

Everyone turned to look at Tang San, who had already settled Xiao Wu. Tang San's expression was calm, and his gaze was devoid of emotion as he looked at Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Xuan suddenly trembled all over and nimbly rolled to the side to watch the show. An enraged Tang San was like a force of nature!

The following events were too violent to describe...

(Logically, Zhao Xuan's strength would definitely not allow Xiao Wu to get hurt, but I feel that Tang San's rampage is the highlight, so the plot here in the book is as it is...)
