Designing Zhao Wuji! Chaotic Taunt!

Designing Zhao Wuji! Chaotic Taunt!

"It's not impossible, but..."

Zhuge Lan drew out the last word—

"What can you give me?"

"Don't say yourself."

"Unlike Dai Shao, I'm not interested in that kind of flesh trade."

Zhu Zhuqing fell silent.

It seemed...

She really couldn't offer anything valuable enough.

Gold Soul Coins?

She did have tens of thousands on her, but that was surely nowhere near enough.

Damn it!

The chance to grow stronger was right in front of her.

Why couldn't she seize it?

Well, damn!

Was she really this obsessed with becoming stronger?

If she kept farming points for a little longer, she'd have enough to buy that thing.

Zhu Zhuqing couldn't name a price.

Naturally, Zhuge Lan wasn't about to hand it over for free.

The group arrived at the final test.

There, Zhao Wuji, broad-backed and burly, sat imposingly in a chair.

Seeing such a large group.

He sprang forward and sniffed them over.

"Good!"

"One at level 26, one at level 27, and two at level 29."

"Hm?"

"There's even a level 35?"

Zhao Wuji stared at Zhuge Lan in surprise, his face brimming with excitement.

"Good, good, good!"

"Mubai, I'll personally conduct this test. Go explain the rules to them."

Dai Mubai visibly relaxed at that.

Wonderful!

He didn't have to fight that freak Zhuge Lan!

Li Yusong, however, frowned and pulled Zhao Wuji aside to whisper to him.

"Hoh?"

"That happened?"

"Really?"

Zhao Wuji cried out in surprise again and again, repeatedly turning back to scrutinize Zhuge Lan.

It made Zhuge Lan laugh.

Did Zhao Wuji have a talent for playing the straight man too?

Dai Mubai, freed of his burden, came over to explain the rules.

"This is a team battle. You have to last one incense stick's worth of time against Teacher Zhao."

"Teacher Zhao is known as the Immovable Bright King. He's a level 76 Power Attack System War Soul Master, and his Soul Spirit, the Vajra Bear, is virtually impregnable."

"Even back when he was a six-ringed Soul Emperor, he fought his way out after being surrounded by sixteen Soul Emperors from Spirit Hall."

After that whole explanation—

"In short, Teacher Zhao is very strong!"

"You'd better discuss carefully how you'll last—"

His gaze swept over Zhuge Lan, and he silently changed his wording—

"Go easy on him. If Teacher Zhao gets angry, the consequences will be serious."

He stepped back half a pace, giving them space to discuss.

Because of Dai Mubai's earlier hesitation, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing both looked toward Zhuge Lan.

"You knew each other before, didn't you?" Ning Rongrong asked. "For Dai Shao to say that, he obviously acknowledges your strength. Do you have a plan?"

Dai Mubai, standing nearby, raised a brow.

—Didn't I tell you not to call me Dai Shao?

Tang San and Xiao Wu didn't object either.

Zhuge Lan had been pretty disgusting the day before yesterday.

But as a teammate, he was something to look forward to!

They wondered.

How would this Teacher Zhao suffer today?

"Since everyone trusts me, I'll take command for now."

Zhuge Lan said without ceremony—

"First, introduce yourselves. The more detailed, the better."

"I'll go first."

Zhuge Lan summoned two Soul Spirits, one in each hand.

Ning Rongrong, who had no idea what was going on, let out a cry of surprise!

"Soul Spirit Thorns Armor, defense type."

"Soul Spirit Li Jing Longsword, control type."

After hearing Zhuge Lan's Soul Skill introduction, the four of them looked at each other.

Your Soul Skills...

Were way too bizarre, weren't they?

After taking a moment to digest it.

They introduced themselves one after another, exactly as in the original trajectory.

"Good." Zhuge Lan said confidently, "In a moment, we'll do this first, then this, and finally this."

Zhuge Lan's battle plan left all four of them speechless.

Was that...

Really necessary?

"Are you sure we'll still be able to enroll after doing that?" Ning Rongrong questioned. "He's a level 76 Soul Saint. Are you confident?"

Zhuge Lan spread his hands.

"It's only a suggestion. If you have a battle plan, you can bring it up for discussion."

The unspoken meaning was—if you can do better, go ahead.

Ning Rongrong opened her mouth, yet somehow couldn't think of a rebuttal.

Her gaze swept across the other three. You all trusted this guy?

But the three who had either experienced it firsthand or watched from afar yesterday—

How could they possibly object?

"I support Zhuge's plan." Zhu Zhuqing immediately took his side.

Tang San and Xiao Wu nodded in agreement as well.

"Good." Zhuge Lan made the final decision. "Then it's settled. If anyone drops the ball later, that'll be embarrassing!"

He was practically calling someone out by name.

Ning Rongrong glared viciously at Zhuge Lan. Why was this guy so annoying?

She could barely suppress her Primordial Force anymore!

But Zhuge Lan completely ignored her and walked straight to the front of the group.

Tang San stood behind him.

Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu took up positions on the left and right flanks.

Ning Rongrong remained at the very back, not moving for a long while.

Zhuge Lan and the other three couldn't help turning around and frowning at her.

What was she doing?

"Hmph!"

With a sour expression, Ning Rongrong summoned her Soul Spirit—

"Oh?" Zhao Wuji said in delighted surprise. "This year's class even has a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda? Now this is interesting!"

He tossed out a lit incense stick and stuck it into the trunk of a nearby tree.

Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu darted out first, attacking Zhao Wuji from the left and right.

Zhao Wuji didn't even summon his Soul Spirit. Confidently, he raised his hands to seize both girls.

"Seven Treasures Turn, Glazed Light Comes, second treasure: speed!"

Two rays of light fell upon Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu, sharply increasing their speed.

They slipped past Zhao Wuji's defense first, just as they were about to land their attacks.

"Heh!"

Zhao Wuji shouted, and Soul Power surged outward.

Relying on his immense cultivation, he forcibly blasted the two girls away.

His large hands descended, preparing to eliminate them first.

Suddenly!

Zhuge Lan's Third Soul Ring lit up, and he crooked a finger at Zhao Wuji.

"Come at me!"

Zhao Wuji's head buzzed!

He actually abandoned the two girls right in front of him and charged at Zhuge Lan with bloodshot eyes!

He even activated his Soul Spirit, the Vajra Bear, and his second Soul Ring immediately lit up.

"Vajra Palm!"

This was the Third Soul Skill Zhuge Lan had drawn—

Chaotic Taunt: Taunts a target and causes them to briefly lose their reason, falling into a berserk rage and attacking the user at all costs for five seconds!

Because he had lost his mind.

Zhao Wuji had no defenses up, allowing Tang San to trap him with a Mother's Entanglement.

Only then did he break free.

Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu attacked again.

One leaped onto Zhao Wuji's neck, wrapping him in a fierce scissor hold with her long legs!

The other activated her second Soul Skill and hammered his kidneys with Nether Hundred Claws!

But Zhao Wuji ignored them completely, charging at Zhuge Lan with bloodshot eyes!

"Seven Treasures Turn, Glazed Light Comes, first treasure: strength!"

The buff landed on Zhuge Lan.

Then—

His first and second Soul Rings lit up. Activating Thorn Armor, he advanced rather than retreating and met Zhao Wuji's attack with his fist!

That's right!

A three-ringed Soul Elder was trading blows with a seven-ringed Soul Saint!

Even though they already knew the plan, the others' hearts clenched!

Under everyone's watchful eyes.

Fist and palm collided solidly!

"Boom—"

Zhuge Lan was, without question, sent staggering backward by the blow.

But!
