Battle Against Wu Changkong, Part Two

After entering the Training Platform, Xie Xie said eagerly:

"Teacher Wu, is it the three of us against Su Hao and his team of three?"

Wu Changkong replied coldly:

"No. It is the six of you against me alone."

Before Xie Xie could process it, he said:

"Six against one? That's so unfair. Wait, we're fighting Teacher Wu?"

Only then did Xie Xie realize that they were going to spar with Wu Changkong. Wasn't that just asking to be beaten?

Wu Changkong, standing ahead of them, said indifferently:

"Remember, this is not the Spirit Ascension Platform. You will not have a chance to revive, and I may not be able to hold back.

"I will suppress my Soul Power to the same level as yours and will not use Soul Skill enhancements, but this time, I will use my Martial Soul. Begin."

Then, rings of Soul Rings rose beneath Wu Changkong's feet—two yellow, two purple, and two black. A terrifying aura instantly erupted from him.

However, that immense pressure lasted only a moment before the fluctuations of his Soul Power rapidly fell. Sure enough, it soon dropped to roughly the level of Two rings.

An ice-blue Long Sword extended from his right hand. Wu Changkong's usually Ice Cold gaze settled on the Sky Frost Sword in his palm, and a rare trace of tenderness appeared in his eyes.

The instant Wu Changkong said "begin," Su Hao released his Martial Soul. Two Thousand-Year Soul Rings rose beneath his feet as well.

Then, seeing that Tang Wulin and the others beside him had yet to react, Su Hao quickly said:

"Hold the formation!

"Everyone, listen up. Tang Wulin will restrain him, Gu Yue will control the field, and the other four of us will be the main attackers. Go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Blue Silver Grass surged from Tang Wulin's right hand. With his repeated experiences in the Spirit Ascension Platform, his control over his Blue Silver Grass Vines had become increasingly skilled.

Strands of Blue Silver Grass spread outward, closing in on Wu Changkong in a radial pattern. Beside Tang Wulin, Gu Yue raised both hands, and the two Soul Rings beneath her feet flashed alternately.

Clusters of Fireballs shot out continuously, some in straight lines and some in arcs, blanketing Wu Changkong's position.

Ice could restrain fire, but fire could also restrain ice. Since Wu Changkong had suppressed his strength to their level in this battle, Gu Yue had an opportunity. The first thing she needed to do was suppress Wu Changkong's attribute.

Because Gu Yue had launched them at different times, the More than ten fireballs moved at varying speeds through the air. They looked numerous, but their trajectories were still traceable.

Yet just as these Fireballs were about to reach Wu Changkong, each suddenly changed speed. They attacked different areas around him almost simultaneously, leaving him unable to deal with them all.

Tang Wulin's Blue Silver Grass erupted at the same time, sweeping up from below and Entangling Wu Changkong's body.

Su Hao also condensed the Law of Strength, turning his arms Slightly yellow. After making himself seem less conspicuous, he charged toward Wu Changkong. As long as Wu Changkong took one of his punches head-on, then with his current suppressed Soul Power, he would definitely be defeated.

Xie Xie, Zhang Yangzi, and Wang Jinxi lunged forward from different directions toward Wu Changkong.

But Wu Changkong had the benefit of his past experience. Everyone only saw him slowly shift one step sideways, then, in that instant, the Sky Frost Sword seemed to transform into a Sky full of frost and snow. The space that had been illuminated by the Fireballs instantly regained its original luster, and the More than ten fireballs silently went out.

The instant the Fireballs were extinguished, Gu Yue's expression changed slightly. She could clearly sense that the cores of her Fireballs had been instantly destroyed, causing them to dissipate.

Next, Wu Changkong's body began to move silently. Blue Silver Grass wound up around his feet, but his Strange footwork allowed him to evade them completely, making them unable to hit their target.

Then Wu Changkong raised the Sky Frost Sword again, accurately pointing its tip at Su Hao's fist. After deflecting part of Su Hao's strength, he borrowed the remaining force and sent it back at him.

Caught off guard, Su Hao was sent flying by that force.

Wu Changkong used Su Hao's force from earlier to move across the training ground. He now looked like a ghost, his body turning illusory. Xie Xie and the other two, charging at high speed, all felt Dizzying.

At that moment, Tang Wulin shouted:

"Not good, get back!"

He immediately controlled the Blue Silver Grass, trying to pull Xie Xie and the other two back.

Against a powerhouse at Teacher Wu's level, they could not afford to seek merit; they only had to avoid mistakes. Their first priority was ensuring everyone's safety.

Although Tang Wulin had reacted quickly enough, he still failed. But Xie Xie understood Tang Wulin best, so the moment he shouted, Xie Xie burst forth at his fastest speed, flipped over, and flew backward.

Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi, however, were clearly a beat slower, and a chill instantly enveloped them.

Still, after cultivating together for so long, the two had excellent coordination. Almost immediately, they grabbed each other's hands. Black light flashed from their bodies at the same time as they attempted to use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, hoping to defeat Wu Changkong as the Dark Dragon Eagle.

Immediately afterward, Dark aura surged around Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi, but something strange happened.

Wang Jinxi's aura clearly strengthened, but Zhang Yangzi's aura, which had already begun to merge with his, suddenly became incompatible. The two groaned at the same time and rapidly retreated.

Then Two cold glints lightly tapped their bodies, freezing them in place. Wu Changkong revealed himself.

"What happened? Is there a problem with your Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"

Wu Changkong did not continue his attack. Instead, he looked at Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi in confusion. Had their Martial Soul Fusion failed?

Before they entered Class Zero, Ye Yingluo had once said that the two of them could perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

After arriving in Class Zero, they had successfully used it in an earlier battle. Su Hao had also been there at the time. Although it had been an incomplete Martial Soul Fusion Skill, it had greatly enhanced Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi.

But just now, their Martial Soul Fusion Skill had actually failed.

At this moment, Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi's faces had both turned pale. They had always known that their Martial Souls were not among the very best, but the existence of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill had made them true geniuses, perhaps even future powerhouses who could become Continent famous.

Yet now, their Martial Soul Fusion Skill had suddenly failed, leaving them both utterly bewildered.

Wu Changkong stepped back, waving the Sky Frost Sword and withdrawing the chill affecting them before saying:

"Try again."
