"Attack!"
Tang Lan gave the order.
Ning Rongrong was the first to summon her martial soul—the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!
Zhao Wuji was startled!
"Among this year's examinees, there's actually someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
"Flender must be grinning from ear to ear!"
Before his words had even faded, he charged straight at Ning Rongrong.
—When fighting, you killed the support first, especially a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda support!
Tang Lan and Tang San dodged aside in unison rather than confronting him head-on.
But both of them summoned their martial souls.
"Second Soul Skill: Entanglement!"
"First Soul Skill: Blue Silver Emperor Thorns!"
One blue and one green vine wrapped around Zhao Wuji from either side, but he neither dodged nor evaded. With a surge of Soul Power—
"Bang—"
Tang San's Blue Silver Grass shattered on the spot.
Yet Tang Lan's Life Spirit Blue Silver Emperor merely tightened.
It still remained firmly wrapped around Zhao Wuji's waist, forcefully holding him in place with a tug!
"Hmm?"
Zhao Wuji was quite surprised.
The toughness of this "Blue Silver Grass" did not seem like that of a fortieth-rank Soul Master!
And—
That undisguised suction was draining his Soul Power, Mental Power, and vitality.
"A mutated martial soul?!"
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing simultaneously flashed to Zhao Wuji's sides.
They drew most of his attention.
Leaving him to overlook—
the support Soul Master right in front of him, Ning Rongrong!
—The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was famously pathetic in terms of damage.
It was precisely this misconception that made Zhao Wuji suffer!
Ning Rongrong took out two Python Revolvers from her Storage Soul Tool.
She pressed them against Zhao Wuji's chest and unleashed a barrage!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Armor-piercing bullets embedded themselves in Zhao Wuji's chest, with faint traces of blood seeping out.
He was injured!
Zhao Wuji's eyes widened!
Weren't you from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
What the hell was this?
Ning Rongrong was somewhat stunned as well.
She had merely followed the strategy.
She had not expected these metal lumps to be so powerful!
Tang San also looked over in astonishment. What was that?
"Ning Rongrong! What are you doing?" Tang Lan shouted.
Ning Rongrong snapped back to her senses and instinctively activated her Soul Skill.
"Seven Treasures turn, glazed light emerges; first, strength!"
Three rays of light flew out and landed on Tang Lan, Tang San, and Xiao Wu.
"Seven Treasures turn, glazed light emerges; second, speed!"
This time, two rays of light landed on Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu.
"Second Soul Skill: Nether Hundred Claws!"
Her full body spun at high speed, her cat claws raking across Zhao Wuji's face in an instant.
Blocking his vision.
"Scratch—"
A Life Spirit Blue Silver Emperor suddenly burst from beneath the ground, shooting straight at Zhao Wuji's rear!
Zhao Wuji was shocked!
The Life Spirit Blue Silver Emperor's toughness far exceeded that of others at the same level.
In his haste, there was no time to form a Soul Power defense.
If that thing poked him...
Even if he clenched tight, his pants would still end up with a hole!
He could only leap away to open the distance, kicking the Life Spirit Blue Silver Emperor aside.
"Fell for it!"
Xiao Wu curled her long legs and launched a rabbit kick, sending Zhao Wuji—helplessly suspended in midair—even higher.
Using the recoil, Xiao Wu bounced off the ground and leaped high after him.
She arrived behind Zhao Wuji.
"First Soul Skill: Waist Bow!"
Then...
Zhao Wuji was tossed around in midair by Xiao Wu like a toy.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Finally, with a 1080-degree aerial spinning execution throw, he was smashed viciously into the ground!
"Supple Skill: Eight Stage Throw!"
The ground was flung into a huge crater, and Zhao Wuji was nowhere to be seen.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong both looked at Xiao Wu in admiration.
Who would have thought that someone who looked so cute could strike so ruthlessly?
Dai Mubai, meanwhile, felt lingering fear.
If he had been thrown like that yesterday...
"Hahaha—awesome!"
Zhao Wuji sprang out of the crater, the muscles all over his body bulging. Bear-claw phantoms still hovered around his fists.
"If I hadn't activated Martial Soul Possession in time, that one really would've hurt a little."
His bear paw grabbed the Life Spirit Blue Silver Emperor around his waist and tugged.
"Riiip—"
Although a tearing sound rang out, it still did not snap completely.
Dai Mubai's mouth twitched.
Zhao Wuji had already activated Martial Soul Possession, yet he still couldn't tear it apart?
That toughness was ridiculous!
"Oh? Interesting!" Zhao Wuji grew even more excited. "Now it's my turn!"
Soul Power surged around him as he pulled hard!
The Life Spirit Blue Silver Emperor finally could not withstand the force and was torn free.
But—
"Second Soul Skill: Blue Silver Emperor Burst!"
"Boom boom boom!!!"
The shredded Life Spirit Blue Silver Emperor erupted one after another!
"Ding ding ding—"
A dense series of impacts rang out—the sound of its scattered barbs striking him.
Unfortunately, Zhao Wuji's Martial Soul Possession defense was too strong; the barbs still could not pierce through it.
However—
"Explode!"
All the barbs swelled up!
Using the energy he had just absorbed from Zhao Wuji, he grew a massive number of Life Spirit Blue Silver Emperors, submerging him within them.
At the same time, Tang San pulled the Blue Silver Grass taut and thrust it into the mass of Life Spirit Blue Silver Emperors, its tip protruding from the other side.
Everyone froze.
It worked?
No way!
Ordinary Blue Silver Grass
Could break through Zhao Wuji's Martial Soul Possession?
"Hahaha—break!"
The mass of Life Spirit Blue Silver Emperors exploded, leaving only the Blue Silver Grass behind.
Zhao Wuji clamped it between his neck and shoulder, then spun around and dragged Tang San over.
A bear paw came crashing down!
Tang San narrowed his eyes and lowered his head, preparing to fire the Tight Back Flower-Decorated Crossbow.
Tang Lan wasn't about to let him show off.
"Little Sanzi, let go!"
Tang Lan simultaneously activated the thorns on Tang San's body.
The Life Spirit Blue Silver Emperors surged wildly, transforming into tentacles that plunged into the ground.
Halting his momentum.
The moment Tang San severed the Blue Silver Grass and landed, he used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to evade Zhao Wuji's palm strike.
Zhao Wuji was about to pursue.
But Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu attacked him from both sides, forcing him to give up.
He glanced at the incense stick. It had already burned past halfway.
"Not bad, not bad. You're all very good!" Zhao Wuji praised. "But it's time to end this!"
The Third Soul Ring beneath Zhao Wuji's feet lit up.
"Third Soul Skill: Gravity Enhancement!"
Everyone's bodies sank!
The gravity within the area increased by more than tenfold.
Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu's formerly nimble figures instantly slowed to a crawl.
Zhao Wuji grabbed one in each hand, just as he was about to make his move—
"Third Soul Skill: Life Burial!!!"
Without any warning.
After the thorns on Zhao Wuji's body had been used up, a huge number of Life Spirit Blue Silver Emperors erupted from beneath his feet again, instantly swallowing him!
He immediately realized something was wrong!
If the previous absorption had been like sipping through a straw, Then this was like cutting directly into his artery!
A storm of savage gulping!
Zhao Wuji's hands went weak, allowing the two girls to escape.
And the Life Spirit Blue Silver Emperors were still tightening, trying to strangle Zhao Wuji within them.
Zhao Wuji immediately gathered Soul Power, intending to burst these Life Spirit Blue Silver Emperors apart.
"Explode!"
Tang Lan's Second Soul Ring lit up, and every Life Spirit Blue Silver Emperor exploded!
This time, they weren't fragments.
They were intact Life Spirit Blue Silver Emperors, and they had absorbed quite a bit of Zhao Wuji's energy.
The power was immense.
Even Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, who were relatively close, were sent flying by the shockwave.
When the smoke and dust cleared.
Zhao Wuji was still uninjured.
But he was bare-chested and exposed, with only a tattered pair of shorts left.
—His dignity was utterly gone.
"Fine, fine, fine!" Zhao Wuji gritted his teeth. "Then have a look at this move—"
The fifth Black Soul Ring beneath his feet lit up!
"Fifth Soul Skill: Gravity Squeeze!!!"
A black hole formed above Zhao Wuji's head, unleashing savage pressure that crushed everyone from all directions.
At the same time, a powerful force of attraction dragged them toward the black hole.
Tang San lowered his head again, preparing to use the momentum to unleash the Tight Back Flower-Decorated Crossbow.
But then—
Tang Lan took the initiative and leaped toward Zhao Wuji, passing Tang San and blocking the space between the two.
Forcing Tang San to stop once more.
"Ha ha ha—little brat!" Zhao Wuji reached out smugly. "Now I've got you!"
However—
Tang Lan revealed the Thunder Flame Haotian Hammer in his right hand, and with a flash of lightning, it dropped into his grasp.
He had deliberately compressed it to the size of a palm.
Yet he had secretly condensed his Inner Force within it.
Soaring Sky Strike!!!
Just as Zhao Wuji was about to defend himself—
