Suihua and Xi Mang's Enormous Utility

"You... your second Soul Ring is a thousand-year one? Wasn't the maximum 732 years?" Tang San was dumbfounded.

"Are you stupid? You believed whatever Yu Xiaogang said? Yu Xiaogang is a level-twenty-nine piece of trash. What could he possibly know?" Xiao Ze was speechless. Tang San seemed quite clever sometimes, but utterly foolish at others.

Tang San was stunned. So it had all been false. With his talent and the Mysterious Heaven Skill, he could certainly have survived a Thousand Year Second Ring too.

Yu Xiaogang had ruined everything.

I will never coexist with you!

You have chosen the Path to Death!!!

Everyone looked at him, leaving Xiao Ze somewhat helpless. "It's just about strengthening your physique."

"Even so, it's extremely difficult. Beast Soul Masters generally have stronger bodies than Weapon Soul Masters, and their Soul Ring Ages tend to be higher as well."

"But it's still impossible to achieve a Thousand Year Second Ring. Otherwise, wouldn't great sects like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect be full of geniuses?"

"How strong could the body of a child only a few years old be?"

Everyone nodded. Ning Rongrong came from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, so her words were highly convincing.

"Maybe I'm just exceptionally gifted." Xiao Ze spread his hands like a little bear.

Zhao Wuji gave a light cough. "All right, continue the test."

He returned to the opposite side.

"Suihua, use Sui Chain Resonance."

Rice whiskers connected to Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing.

"This will distribute the damage you take among yourselves."

"So powerful!" Ning Rongrong's eyes sparkled. It would be wonderful if she had that Soul Skill.

"The test begins."

Tang San and the other two immediately charged Zhao Wuji from three directions.

Zhao Wuji chuckled and stomped on the ground.

With a thunderous boom, the earth seemed to turn over like a great dragon. The terrifying force split several cracks through the ground.

Tang San and the other two paled in shock and immediately leaped up.

Zhu Zhuqing's first Soul Ring lit up as she lunged at Zhao Wuji. Her claw slashed across his arm with a sound like metal striking metal.

"So hard!"

"I'm no weak Soul Master." Zhao Wuji shook his left arm, sending Zhu Zhuqing flying back.

Tang San and Xiao Wu had also reached Zhao Wuji's front and right side. They attacked him continuously, yet not a single strike could break through his defenses.

"His defense really is strong."

"Aren't you going to help them?" Ning Rongrong looked at Xiao Ze.

"I'm a Summoning System Soul Master. Suihua, use Thousand Rice Shadows."

A flash of golden light passed over Suihua's body, and eight rice ear Illusions appeared. Wielding their Suihua Crowns, they charged Zhao Wuji.

"A clone Soul Skill? Interesting."

"Second Soul Skill: Great Vajra Palm." Zhao Wuji's hands turned into bear paws, and with one slap, he scattered a rice ear Illusion before him.

A wave of healing appeared, bouncing among Tang San and the other two.

"Healing effect."

"Xi Mang, use Windfall Wheat awn."

A golden whirlwind shot forth.

"Everyone, get out of the way!" Tang San saw the skill that made his heart tremble and immediately shouted.

Zhu Zhuqing did not understand, but seeing even Xiao Wu retreat, she retreated as well.

"What are these little brats doing?" Zhao Wuji was baffled as he caught the golden whirlwind with one hand.

The next instant, Light-Scorching Wheat Seeds exploded one after another.

Boom, boom, boom—

Explosions rang out in succession, making even the ground tremble.

However, intense golden light erupted from Zhao Wuji's body, blocking the explosive attack.

"They can even explode. Little fellow, you're quite impressive." Zhao Wuji was growing more and more delighted. Xiao Ze truly had many tricks.

"Third Soul Skill: Gravity Enhancement!"

An invisible gravity descended upon Tang San and the other two. Their bodies suddenly grew heavy, their feet seeming to sink into a swamp.

Suihua dashed forward, and its Suihua Crown lashed Zhao Wuji, leaving a red mark on his shoulder.

"You little thing, how do you have such great strength?" Zhao Wuji froze for a moment.

The next instant, he charged directly at Suihua.

"Entangling!"

Countless Blue Silver Grass blades burst from the ground and bound Zhao Wuji, but his powerful defense prevented their spikes from piercing his body.

"Ha!" Zhao Wuji roared, his muscles bulging as he shattered all the Blue Silver Grass.

"Little thing, die!" Zhao Wuji struck at Suihua with his palm.

"Second Skill: Speed!"

Suihua's speed abruptly increased, allowing it to evade Zhao Wuji's attack.

"Suihua, use Thousand Layered Rice Waves!"

Countless translucent rice ears grew from the void, and an endless blue-gold rain of grain fell from the sky.

The ground turned into a Liquid State rice paddy. Zhao Wuji felt as though his feet had sunk into mud, and his speed slowed considerably.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at her hands. This strange power flowed through her body. It was so powerful.

Tang San and Xiao Wu were also experiencing the effects of the Suihua Domain for the first time.

"Attack!"

The three of them clashed with Zhao Wuji once more.

With the fifteen-percent armor-piercing effect, Zhao Wuji's defense could finally be breached.

Even their Soul Skills were being released much faster.

"What an incredible Soul Beast. It even has a domain." Ning Rongrong's gaze was now fixed on Xiao Ze.

"This isn't a Soul Beast. It's a Spirit, an Agricultural Sprite."

"An Agricultural Sprite?" Ning Rongrong tilted her head, her face full of confusion.

"I'll explain later."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Rice ears exploded one after another in the distance, but the explosions did not harm Tang San and the others.

Zhao Wuji, however, was being blown dizzy. Explosions came from every direction.

Quite a few small wounds had appeared on his body, while shields formed around Tang San and the other two.

"Second Soul Skill: Nether Hundred Claws!"

Zhu Zhuqing spun rapidly, targeting one of Zhao Wuji's wounds and repeatedly slashing it with her claws. The wound grew larger and larger.

"So annoying!" Zhao Wuji roared, releasing a burst of Soul Power that sent Tang San and the other two flying.

"Fourth Soul Skill!"

Zhao Wuji's Fourth Soul Ring flew out and headed toward Xiao Ze.

In his eyes, Xiao Ze was the most troublesome one. As long as he dealt with him, everything else would be easy.

Xiao Ze immediately commanded, "Xi Mang, Dawn Prism."

He knew that if Zhao Wuji's Soul Skill trapped him, Zhao Wuji could easily pull him close. Then he would be finished.

Xi Mang arranged Wheat Grains into a multifaceted prism and reflected the Soul Ring.

Xi Mang's Dawn Prism could reflect not only Soul Rings, but also ranged and melee Soul Skills.

As long as their power did not exceed the threshold.

This Soul Ring had no offensive power at all.

The Soul Ring was reflected above Tang San's head.

Tang San froze, then angrily shouted, "Xiao Ze!! Are you trying to harm me?"

"Why are you yelling? It has no offensive power."

"Brat, you have some skills. Let's see how you block this move of mine. Fifth Soul Skill."

The next moment, Xiao Ze felt enormous pressure coming from all directions, while his body was uncontrollably dragged toward Zhao Wuji.

"Xiao Ze!"

Ning Rongrong reached out and grabbed Xiao Ze's hand, but she was far too weak. It was completely useless, and she was even dragged forward some distance herself.

"Let go. Don't worry, I'll be fine."

"All right."
