Over the past few days, everyone had become familiar with one another, so there was no need for introductions.
Tang Yu said, "A level 76 Soul Saint like Zhao Wuji can make two-ring Soul Grandmasters like you unable to move through Soul Pressure alone. If he gets serious from the start, forget one incense stick—you won't even last half of one."
"You mean he won't seriously fight us?" Tang San looked at Tang Yu.
"That's right."
"Not only will he not fight seriously, he won't even attack first. He'll probably treat you like monkeys and toy with you," Tang Yu said calmly.
In his memories,
when Tang San and the other four fought Zhao Wuji, Zhao Wuji had stood in place without even summoning his martial soul, letting Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing attack and surround him however they pleased.
He had even stood there taking hits while taunting them nonstop.
In the end, Zhao Wuji merely summoned his martial soul, and the terrifying fluctuation of Soul Power instantly took out Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu.
Later, Tang San proposed a one-on-one duel. Yet even after exhausting all his hidden weapons and Hidden Weapon Techniques, he had only managed to strike Zhao Wuji once before running out of strength.
When he collapsed, Tang San had nearly been killed by his own hidden weapons.
Dai Mubai had been the one to intervene in time and save him. By then, Tang San and the others had actually already lost.
After that, they dawdled around chatting for ages, then had Oscar rush over to feed everyone sausages. Only after all that stalling did the incense stick finally burn out.
In the end, they were still considered to have passed.
Therefore, regardless of whether this battle succeeded, these geniuses would all be kept.
Since that was the case, they might as well go all out from the beginning. While Zhao Wuji was still putting on airs and hadn't started fighting seriously, they could give everything they had and take him down.
Tang Yu really wanted to see whether the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand could smash this Unmovable Bright King flat!
Tang Yu continued, "No matter whether we last one incense stick today or not, Flender won't let us leave."
"So, do you want to struggle miserably through one incense stick under Zhao Wuji's hands, or do you want to go all out with me and try to take him down?"
Tang San wasn't stupid. He could tell from the past few days Flender had kept them at the academy.
That calculating Flender would definitely keep them, and all of them possessed the pride of geniuses. If they had a chance to knock down a powerhouse like Zhao Wuji, they naturally wanted to try.
Battle intent appeared on the faces of Tang San, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong. "Of course we want to take him down!"
"Good! Then we'll use our strongest power from the very beginning and defeat him in one blow before Zhao Wuji starts taking us seriously!" Tang Yu clenched his fist slightly, then arranged, "Ning Rongrong, stay in the rear and provide support and buffs."
Ning Rongrong said, "Okay, Boss!"
"Tang San, Xiao Wu, attack with me."
Tang San hesitated for a moment. "I'm a Control System Soul Master. I can coordinate with you and restrain him."
Seeing how confident Tang Yu was about taking down Zhao Wuji, Tang San had no intention of exposing all his strength before Tang Yu. He could take this chance to see just how strong Tang Yu truly was.
So he wanted Tang Yu to go all out first and wear Zhao Wuji down. If there really was an opportunity, Tang San could take over afterward.
That way, not only could they defeat Zhao Wuji, but he could also conceal some of his strength for dealing with Tang Yu later.
But Tang Yu saw through Tang San's thoughts at a glance. Damn it, trying to play tricks with me?
Tang Yu said coldly, "Control what? Do you think your Blue Silver Grass can restrain Zhao Wuji? Attack with me at full force and use every hidden weapon technique you have."
"If you dare hold anything back, I'll smash your face to pieces afterward! Do you understand?"
Tang San's expression darkened. He secretly clenched his fists and answered unwillingly, "I understand, Boss."
"Zhu Zhuqing, support from the flank. Just look for chances to strike."
Zhu Zhuqing answered flatly, "Mm."
"Alright, let's begin."
"Summon your martial souls!"
Tang Yu gave the order.
Everyone summoned their martial souls.
"Ready? Heh, then come on!" Zhao Wuji lit an incense stick, casually tossed it into the ground in the distance, then crossed his arms and crooked a finger at Tang Yu and the others with an amused expression.
"Seven Treasures Manifest Glazed Tile!"
"Seven Treasures have names. First: Strength!"
"Second: Speed!"
Ning Rongrong immediately unleashed her first soul skill and Second Soul Skill, and two streams of colored light descended.
Everyone received a thirty percent increase in strength and speed.
"The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda's support ability really is impressive. With a thirty percent strength boost, my Clear Sky Hammer has become even more tyrannical." Tang Yu gripped the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, smiling inwardly.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda initially possessed a ten percent amplification effect.
Each additional Soul Ring increased its amplification effect by ten percent.
Ning Rongrong had two rings, so she could provide a thirty percent boost.
If she had seven rings, she could provide a seventy percent boost.
One had to know that for ordinary support-type Soul Masters, a thirty percent boost was already an extremely powerful effect.
There was a reason the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda was considered the top support-type martial soul. No exaggeration—it truly had the goods.
"First soul skill, Clear Sky Overlord Body!"
"Get him!" Tang Yu shouted.
Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing instantly charged forward, joining forces to surround Zhao Wuji.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The three attacked wildly.
Yet Zhao Wuji merely stood where he was, effortlessly blocking their combined assault. He even laughed mockingly. "Hahaha! Hey, hey, hey! Are you scratching an itch for me? Hm!"
"Can't you put some strength into it? Didn't you eat?"
"Hahaha!"
Zhao Wuji's taunting laughter finally made Tang San unleash his hidden weapons. In an instant, countless Silver Needles flew out.
"Hm? What are these little toys?"
Zhao Wuji immediately became wary.
Tang Yu seized the opportunity. At that very instant, he leaped into the air and brought his hammer down on Zhao Wuji from above.
"They don't have enough strength? Then let's see if mine is strong enough!"
"Clear Sky Hammer? Hahaha, that may not be enough to move me!"
"Great Strength Vajra Bear!"
Roar!
Zhao Wuji did indeed summon his martial soul. The powerful fluctuation of Soul Power blasted Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing back.
"Kid! I am the Unmovable Bright King!" Zhao Wuji laughed loudly, arrogantly and contemptuously allowing Tang Yu's Clear Sky Hammer to strike his face.
Zhao Wuji had thought he could withstand it. After all, Tang Yu was only a three-ring Clear Sky Hammer Soul Master—his strength shouldn't be that fierce, right?
However, the instant Tang Yu's Clear Sky Hammer came down,
Zhao Wuji's face was smashed crooked on the spot!
"Uwaaah!"
"How is this possible?!" Zhao Wuji was horrified and instantly reacted.
But because he had underestimated Tang Yu and gathered his strength too late, Zhao Wuji was smashed to one knee by Tang Yu's hammer.
Tang Yu's tyrannical power continued pressing down from above with mad force.
"Damn! Is this the Clear Sky martial soul? Its strength is way too tyrannical! It hurts so much!" Zhao Wuji's face throbbed with pain as one Soul Ring rose beneath his feet. "First soul skill, Unmovable Bright King Body!"
