Lucky Zhao Wuji, Silenced at Every Turn

As fellow "defeated dogs," Tang San and Dai Mubai had basically the same attitude toward Du Cheng.

Dai Mubai knew full well that when Zhao Wuji said "no time limit," it meant he intended to put Du Cheng through some torment.

Tang San had personally experienced Zhao Wuji's strength.

That kick just now had made him feel as though his internal organs had nearly been knocked out of place. Now that it was Du Cheng's turn, he ought to get a proper taste of it too.

After all, Du Cheng was facing Zhao Wuji alone this time. Under those circumstances, there was no way he could avoid getting hit, right?

"Don't say Old Zhao isn't looking out for you."

His gaze landing on Du Cheng, Zhao Wuji stood with his hands behind his back.

"Kid, you make the first move."

"Thank you, Teacher Zhao."

As a good child with traditional values, Du Cheng had always deeply remembered one saying.

When an elder bestows something, one must not refuse!

Since Old Zhao had said so, Du Cheng naturally could not stand on ceremony.

"Teacher Zhao, here I come!"

As the words left his mouth, a carrot surrounded by two purple and one black soul rings appeared in Du Cheng's hand.

"What a monster!"

Even Zhao Wuji could not help exclaiming when he saw Du Cheng's soul ring configuration.

No wonder he had nearly made Li Yusong break the rules. Such talent was worth it!

"But..."

His gaze falling on Du Cheng, Zhao Wuji's expression turned somewhat strange.

"A Food-Type Soul Master?"

As everyone knew, no matter how outstanding a Food-Type Soul Master was, they would not possess much combat power.

"That's right."

Facing Zhao Wuji's question, Du Cheng merely nodded calmly.

"But I've also picked up a few combat skills. Please guide me, Teacher Zhao."

Hearing Du Cheng's words, Zhao Wuji was briefly stunned before quickly coming to his senses.

Given how underhanded this brat had been while teaching others just now, it would be stranger if he had no combat ability.

Having figured that out, Zhao Wuji quickly became excited again.

Having combat ability was good. Only then would bullying him feel more satisfying.

Looking at Du Cheng, Zhao Wuji had already begun planning how to deal with him later.

Seeing the gleam in Zhao Wuji's eyes, Dai Mubai, standing not far away, trembled with excitement as well.

Teacher Zhao really had gotten fired up!

Damn Du Cheng, he had actually hidden his strength during our first match.

But so what? Facing Teacher Zhao, what choice did you have besides taking a beating?

That was right. After learning that Du Cheng was actually a level 33 Soul Elder, Dai Mubai had found the reasons for his previous defeat.

First, he had been too careless!

Second, Du Cheng had deliberately concealed his strength!

If he had known earlier that Du Cheng was a Soul Elder, he definitely would have gone all out and defeated him in an incredibly handsome pose.

As for Du Cheng going from a Soul Grandmaster to a Soul Elder overnight?

Dai Mubai had never even considered that possibility.

What nonsense, did he think he was the son of a god? That he could break through whenever he wanted?

Back to the matter at hand, the thoughts of the onlookers obviously had no effect on Du Cheng.

After eating a carrot, then channeling Soul Power to enlarge the carrot in his hand to a suitable size, Du Cheng looked solemnly at Zhao Wuji.

Although this was only a simple test, he was facing a Soul Saint after all. He certainly could not afford to be careless.

More importantly, he wanted to use this opportunity to test the new abilities he had gained.

As the thought flashed through his mind, Du Cheng stepped forward and charged toward Zhao Wuji.

"Hm?"

Seeing the strange footwork beneath Du Cheng's feet, Zhao Wuji could not help being taken aback.

As a close-combat Soul Master, his fighting ability was naturally exceptional.

Yet even so, he could not determine from Du Cheng's movements where the other party would step next.

But...

Even in this situation, Zhao Wuji remained exceptionally calm.

What good was being fast?

Lasting power was what truly mattered!

Across the entire Douluo Continent, there were plenty of Soul Masters faster than Zhao Wuji, but if they couldn't break his defense, weren't they just a bunch of weaklings?

Bang!

As Zhao Wuji's thoughts raced, a carrot had already come crashing heavily toward the tip of his nose.

"Good kid!"

Feeling the force of the wind carried by the swinging carrot, Zhao Wuji reached out to grab it.

"Not a bad idea, but before absolute stren—"

Halfway through his sentence, Zhao Wuji's expression suddenly stiffened.

"What's going on?"

The instant he caught the carrot, Zhao Wuji clearly felt the Soul Power within his body fall silent, to the point that he could no longer even circulate it.

"This is your soul skill?"

Fortunately, although he had lost his Soul Power, Zhao Wuji's physical strength remained.

After blocking Du Cheng's carrot once again, Zhao Wuji finally noticed something was wrong.

Whenever he was struck, the Third Soul Ring on Du Cheng's carrot flashed once!

"How could there be such an unreasonable Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring?"

After grumbling, Zhao Wuji quickly retreated, intending to widen the distance between himself and Du Cheng.

Based on his experience, Du Cheng's Soul Ring clearly needed to hit its target in order to take effect.

As long as he pulled away, he would soon recover his Soul Power and then give Du Cheng a proper lesson.

It had to be said that, as an experienced Soul Saint, Zhao Wuji's judgment was indeed formidable.

In just a few seconds, he had analyzed most of the effects of Du Cheng's Soul Ring.

The only thing he had gotten wrong was that the trigger for "Silence" was chance-based.

Still, Zhao Wuji couldn't really be blamed for that. His luck was simply too terrible.

Who could have imagined that a 10% chance would trigger on him every single time?

Looking at the Silence effect on Zhao Wuji that had already stacked up to one minute, even Du Cheng couldn't help twitching at the corner of his mouth.

Fortunately, he hadn't obtained a guaranteed-kill type soul skill. Otherwise, the Immovable Bright King would probably have become the Immovable Nether King by now.

Although he held the advantage, Du Cheng still didn't dare let down his guard in the slightest against someone like Zhao Wuji, even with Silence stacked on him.

"Worthy of being Teacher Zhao. You discovered the flaw in my soul skill so quickly, but..."

When he saw Zhao Wuji actually taking the initiative to widen the distance, a broad smile appeared on Du Cheng's face.

"Who told you I'm only a close-combat Soul Master?"

As everyone knew, Zhao Wuji was a tank-type fighter. Even though he possessed charging soul skills, his short range remained his weakness.

That was precisely why, once the distance was widened, Du Cheng wasn't the only one being restricted!

Before Zhao Wuji could react, the carrot in Du Cheng's hand rapidly grew longer and larger.

Bang!

Struck on the head by a carrot a full three meters long, Zhao Wuji nearly wanted to cry.

So, did this count as digging his own grave?

"Kid, I—"

Bang!

"You—"

Bang!

"I f—"
