Xiao Chen, the Cheat Seller: Crushing Dai Mubai, Saving Zhu Zhuqing

Bang! Bang! Bang...

"You little brats aren't too bad."

Watching Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing repeatedly circle around him and attack by seeking out openings in his defenses, Zhao Wuji nodded slightly, his face full of satisfaction.

Now these were normal students—much better than that Tang San who seemed brain-dead!

"But if this is all you've got, you still won't last through one sandglass."

"Ha!"

Before everyone's eyes, Zhao Wuji, having just finished speaking, directly unleashed an even more powerful Soul Power Impact.

The instant the Soul Power Impact appeared, it shot straight at Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing.

Yet Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing seemed to have anticipated Zhao Wuji's move long ago.

The next moment, under Zhao Wuji's incredulous gaze, they retreated backward in perfect coordination, one to the left and one to the right, flawlessly avoiding Zhao Wuji's soul power attack.

Xiao Wu even stuck out her tongue at Zhao Wuji midair and pulled a face.

"Bleh bleh bleh, you missed, you big dumb bear."

"What's going on?"

Seeing the scene before him, Zhao Wuji froze on the spot.

Was it his imagination?

Why did he feel as though these two girls had already guessed what he was going to do?

"This big dumb bear really is just like Brother Xiao Chen said—dull-witted."

Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing silently nodded in agreement.

Bursting out with stronger soul power right after being praised really was rather foolish.

"That brat again!"

Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Zhao Wuji immediately looked toward Xiao Chen, who was holding Ning Rongrong.

At that moment, Xiao Chen just happened to look over as well, his expression as calm as ever.

Their eyes met, and neither spoke.

"Good kid, you're making me more and more curious!"

Seeing Xiao Chen's tranquil gaze, one that did not belong to someone his age, Zhao Wuji's interest was immediately piqued. The soul power around him began to rise once more.

At the same time, his body suddenly swelled in size, and his hands directly transformed into bear claws, exuding immense pressure.

A powerful Soul Power Impact immediately erupted and rushed at Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing at astonishing speed.

It vanished in a flash, unbelievably fast.

Martial Soul Release, Great Strength Vajra Bear!

"Come on, little brats!"

He planned to use his Martial Soul Release to injure Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, then give each of them a slap to end this battle.

He was already somewhat impatient to officially fight Xiao Chen.

However, the Soul Power Impact produced by Zhao Wuji's Martial Soul Release was avoided by Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing yet again!

At the same time, Ning Rongrong, still in Xiao Chen's arms, had recovered a little strength. Blushing faintly, she left his embrace and began supporting the battle.

Her soft jade-like hands lifted slightly, and her small lips softly chanted.

"Seven Treasures Exuding Glaze!"

"The Seven Treasures have names: first, Strength!"

"Second, Speed!"

The next moment, two streams of light flew from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda in Ning Rongrong's hands and entered Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing's bodies, increasing their strength by 30% and their speed by 30% respectively.

After doing all that, Ning Rongrong seemed to have exhausted all her strength. She began breathing heavily and regulating her breath where she stood.

There was no helping it.

Xiao Chen's aura had been far too fierce. The fact that she had not been knocked unconscious on the spot was already impressive enough.

"Come on, then! Do you think Sister Xiao Wu is afraid of you?"

After receiving Ning Rongrong's boost, Xiao Wu became even more excited and shouted at Zhao Wuji with soaring fighting spirit.

Immediately afterward, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing attacked Zhao Wuji once more, and the three resumed their battle.

Bang!

Bang!

After about half a sandglass had passed, accompanied by two dull explosions in the air, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were simultaneously sent flying backward, their faces turning somewhat pale.

It was obvious that Zhao Wuji had knocked them away this time, rather than them successfully evading his attack.

Yet Zhao Wuji showed no sign of happiness at this result.

Based on his original estimate, Xiao Chen's group of five should have held out for at most a third of an hourglass before they were all exhausted and defeated.

After that, it would be time for his personal lecture.

Yet now, they had actually held on for a full half-hourglass—and only three of them had even made a move!

Among them, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong had performed fairly well, and the effects of their Soul Skills were decent.

They were within the range of normal geniuses, commendable enough.

But the girl called Xiao Wu was far too strange.

She clearly only had an ordinary rabbit Martial Soul, two hundred-year Soul Rings, and level 29 Soul Power.

Yet her actual speed in battle was already comparable to that of a Three-ring Soul Master, as was the strength of her attacks.

With the enhancement from Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, her strength had been further boosted!

As for why he only counted three of them?

Very simple—because Tang San did not count.

That guy was a complete idiot. A control-type Soul Master fighting with his physical body—he really did not know which moron had taught him.

If his teacher was not an idiot, then how could he have taught such an idiot of a student?

"..."

Compared to the gravity and confusion on Zhao Wuji's face, Xiao Chen, standing in the rear, appeared extremely calm.

Because he knew very well why Xiao Wu was so strong.

Over the past five years, he had spent every day glued to Xiao Wu, constantly raising her intimacy level and strengthening his own physical constitution.

At the same time, he had not allowed Xiao Wu's strength to follow its original course. He had directly stepped in and given her a wave of enhancements!

First were her Soul Rings.

Although the color of Xiao Wu's Soul Rings had not broken the common understanding of Soul Masters—they were still two yellow hundred-year Soul Rings—their actual ages had already surpassed what many people could comprehend.

Both her first and second Soul Rings were 999 years old!

As long as he drew another card later with an effect that slightly increased a soul beast's potential, Xiao Wu's first and second Soul Rings would naturally reach the thousand-year level!

Aside from that, Xiao Chen had also given Xiao Wu many Soul Tools.

For example, Soul Tool Shoes to increase speed, a Soul Tool Bracelet to increase attack speed and strength, as well as...

It was precisely because all these factors had stacked together that Xiao Wu could now unleash strength comparable to a Soul Master. With Ning Rongrong's enhancement added on top, her combat power was simply absurdly high.

That was also why Xiao Chen had told Xiao Wu at the beginning that she could let loose and fight!

"You're all very good, but it's time to end this!"

Watching Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing descend toward the ground, Zhao Wuji's second Soul Ring immediately lit up.

At the same time, his right hand fiercely slammed forward.

"Second Soul Skill, Great Strength Vajra Palm!"

"Pfft..."

In an instant, a terrifying Soul Power Impact accompanied by an explosion of air directly engulfed Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing.

However, just as that force was about to knock Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing unconscious, an inexplicable aura emanated from Xiao Wu's eyes.

"Second Soul Skill, Charm!"

"You even have a bewilderment-type Soul Skill? How interesting. Unfortunately, it's useless!"

Zhao Wuji merely paused for an instant before shouting, directly breaking through Xiao Wu's Soul Skill.

However, despite her Soul Skill being broken, Xiao Wu was not affected in the slightest.

After flipping through the air, she landed steadily on the ground. Only the Pink Necklace around her neck glimmered faintly.

The Soul Tool Pink Necklace could help its wearer resist the backlash of a Soul Skill once per day!

Its upper limit was the level of a Seven-ring Soul Saint.

"What?"

When Zhao Wuji saw that Xiao Wu had not been knocked unconscious by the backlash, disbelief appeared on his face once more.

Still, the one thing that comforted him was that Zhu Zhuqing's situation was much more normal.

Although Zhao Wuji's attack had been weakened somewhat by interference from Xiao Wu's Charm Soul Skill, Zhu Zhuqing ultimately could not withstand it.

Her face instantly turned pale, her aura grew weaker and weaker, and even her eyes had begun to droop.

Clearly, she was about to lose consciousness on the spot!

"A good opportunity!"

Seeing this, Dai Mubai, who had been waiting nearby for a long time, instantly had excitement flare in his eyes.

The next moment, he charged straight toward Zhu Zhuqing.

He had not expected Zhu Zhuqing to hold out for so long. Once she reached three rings, she would probably only be a little weaker than him.

With strength like that, combined with her explosive figure and that aloof attitude of barely giving him the time of day...

Sure enough, Zhu Zhuqing was destined to be his woman. She would definitely be thrilling to play with!

"I'm coming, Zhuqing!"

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Dai Mubai quickly rushed to where Zhu Zhuqing was about to fall, spreading his arms wide, his eyes full of greed.

Heh heh heh.

Zhu Zhuqing was already close to passing out. When he caught her, he would give her a hard jolt and make her lose consciousness completely.

Then, his hands could slip into those two places on Zhu Zhuqing's body, and he could play with her however he wanted.

He had long coveted Zhu Zhuqing's explosive figure, which far surpassed that of others her age!

But just as Dai Mubai was thinking this, a black shadow suddenly entered his field of vision, falling even faster than Zhu Zhuqing.

In the end, he only felt a sharp pain in his face before his consciousness rapidly began to fade.

Vaguely, he seemed to catch a glimpse of the attacker's profile.

Xiao Chen!

Bang!

Before everyone's eyes, Xiao Chen descended from above and stomped directly on Dai Mubai's head.

At the same time, he swept Zhu Zhuqing into a princess carry and caught her steadily.

Then, a sensation different from Xiao Wu's and Ning Rongrong's rushed straight into Xiao Chen's arms...
