Ye Fan's Third Soul Ring

Zhao Wuji planted another burning incense stick into the ground.

Dai Mubai quickly retreated, moving away from the battlefield.

"Glazed Tile Pagoda, reveal your brilliance."

She spun gracefully in place, and dazzling seven-colored light immediately burst forth from her body.

At the point where the seven-colored light gathered, a seven-colored pagoda over a foot tall had appeared in Ning Rongrong's right palm.

The battle had only just begun, yet the light of Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda swiftly enveloped Xiao Wu, Ye Fan, and Zhu Zhuqing.

"Seven Treasures have names: first, strength."

"Seven Treasures have names: second, speed."

One increased strength, while the other increased movement speed.

Ye Fan instantly felt his strength and speed surge.

But it was of little use. He couldn't exactly rush forward and let the other party chop off his head.

Zhao Wuji looked at Ning Rongrong in surprise.

"Well, well. One of this year's applicants is actually from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile family."

Then, when he saw the three Soul Rings beneath Ye Fan and Xiao Wu's feet, his eyes widened even further.

A twelve-year-old Soul Elder—even if he had to tie them up, he had to bring them into the academy.

At that moment, Zhao Wuji moved.

He did not charge toward Ye Fan's group of four.

Instead, he bent his legs into a half-crouch and smashed both fists into the ground at once.

Zhao Wuji's attack was clearly not aimed at Ning Rongrong alone.

But his obvious intention to unleash an area attack was still meant to first interrupt the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's support effects.

With a muffled boom, the ground shuddered violently.

A ring of earth-yellow waves suddenly surged toward Ye Fan's group along with the tremors in the ground.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing both reacted quickly. Xiao Wu leaped upward from the front, while Zhu Zhuqing darted out from the side, and both evaded the shockwave.

Ye Fan's Third Soul Ring flashed.

A yellow Pumpkin Protective Case appeared out of thin air, directly enclosing Ye Fan and Ning Rongrong together.

The Pumpkin Protective Case was a new Summoning Ye Fan had obtained after gaining his Third Soul Ring.

He finally had a proper defensive plant now.

He no longer had to rely on Chomper's traits to dodge attacks as he had before.

Ye Fan had also obtained his Third Soul Ring after taking leave and heading alone into the Soul Hunting Forest.

He had casually found a soul beast that was just over two hundred years old and turned it into one that was twenty thousand years old.

At Notting College, only Xiao Wu knew that Ye Fan had broken through to Soul Elder.

Ye Fan had not told anyone else—not even Tang San or Yu Xiaogang.

He wanted to avoid word spreading and attracting recruitment attempts from every major faction.

Otherwise, the matters he would have to deal with later would become troublesome.

That was also why he had waited until last to register at the entrance.

It was precisely because Ye Fan had broken through to Soul Elder.

That Xiao Wu had worked hard to cultivate and catch up to him.

Ye Fan could only marvel at how terrifying the talent of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form truly was.

The suddenly appearing Pumpkin Protective Case had truly startled Ning Rongrong.

When she realized Ye Fan was pressed so close to her and had accidentally taken advantage of her, the young lady's temper instinctively flared.

Bang!

The yellow shockwave crashed into the Pumpkin Protective Case.

Cracks appeared one after another across its surface, and much of the Pumpkin Protective Case had been damaged.

The Pumpkin Protective Case's defense really isn't as high as Nut's.

Ye Fan muttered inwardly.

His Soul Ring flashed again, and white light flickered rapidly.

Puff-shroom, Sunflower, Pea Shooter, Double Pea Shooter, Torchwood, Cabbage-pult, and Kernel-pult were summoned one after another.

Although Ye Fan did not have a cooldown when using his soul skills.

Summoning the same type of plant or zombie still required a cooldown.

But when they saw the plants covering the ground, everyone present aside from Xiao Wu was somewhat shocked.

Plants could be used in battle these days?

Sunflowers, peas, corn...

Did that mean even Blue Silver Grass could cultivate?

Then Ye Fan summoned an Imp Zombie as well.

Puff-shroom and Imp Zombie consumed only a tiny bit of Soul Power when summoned, less than the rate at which his Soul Power recovered. It was practically no different from costing no Soul Power at all.

It was essentially a free Summoning. There was no reason not to summon them.

Zhao Wuji was especially curious. He had traveled across the continent quite a bit before.

Let alone summoned soul beasts like these, he had never even seen creatures like them.

Ning Rongrong had also become so curious that she forgot she was still pressed tightly against Ye Fan.

Now, Ye Fan was the one who found her somewhat in the way.

The Pumpkin Protective Case was originally meant for one person.

With two people inside, it was a little crowded.

White light flashed, and a shovel appeared in Ye Fan's hand.

With one shovel stroke, more than half the Soul Power he had spent summoning the Pumpkin Protective Case was restored.

With a faintly disgusted expression, Ye Fan quickly stepped several paces away from her.

Ning Rongrong was instantly dumbfounded.

What was that expression?

Did he think she was in the way?

When had the eldest daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect ever been treated like this?

The peas fired by Pea Shooter and Double Pea Shooter passed through Torchwood's flames at once, transforming into Flame Peas.

Zhao Wuji neither defended nor dodged at first.

He allowed the Flame Peas to strike him.

He wanted to see how much attack power these strange things possessed.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Three Flame Peas exploded on Zhao Wuji's body in succession.

Zhao Wuji's pupils suddenly contracted as he felt his blood and energy churn within him.

What powerful attack strength!

Ye Fan's Third Soul Ring had already reached the level of twenty thousand years.

Under normal circumstances, only a six-ring Soul Emperor would possess a twenty-thousand-year Soul Ring.

Although the Flame Peas' attack power could not compare to a Soul Emperor's, they were still among the strongest at the Soul King level.

At this moment, Zhao Wuji had not activated his martial soul. After taking three peas head-on, he instantly suffered a considerable loss.

On the other side, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu's attacks had also arrived.

Both attacked from the sides.

If they had attacked from the front.

Then the first to suffer the peas' attacks would not have been Zhao Wuji, but the two of them.

Zhao Wuji's body trembled. With a low roar, his body abruptly swelled. The already terrifying muscles all over his body nearly doubled in size.

Even his height shot up by a meter in an instant, making his entire body incomparably brawny.

Two yellow, two purple, and three black—seven terrifying Soul Rings appeared around him.

A series of dense clanging sounds rang out behind Zhao Wuji.

Unfortunately, they had no effect.

Zhao Wuji's defense was too high.

Xiao Wu's soft skill met the same frustration.

No matter how much force she exerted, she could not make Zhao Wuji's body budge even slightly.

Even after flipping backward and striking the joints behind Zhao Wuji's knees with both hands, she still failed to achieve any effect.

Zhao Wuji finally felt a little more relaxed.

Even standing still, they could not break through his defense.

"Little rabbit, little kitty."

"Your attacks and strength are far too weak."
