Fight However You Want, Go Wild However You Want

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong secretly glanced at Jiang Chen beside her, unable to stop a few traces of curiosity from rising in her heart.

Not only were his first two Soul Rings thousand-year ones, but he had also defeated thirty-seventh-level Dai Mubai in one move with just thirty-level Soul Power.

Just how strong was he really?

"What are you all muttering about?!"

Zhao Wuji's voice boomed like a bell as he swept his gaze over the five of them. "I'm your examiner for the fourth test, Zhao Wuji."

"The rules are simple. Last one incense stick's worth of time under my attacks, and you pass."

"Ah? Teacher Zhao, wasn't the original test..." Oscar asked hesitantly.

Zhao Wuji shot him a glare. "The dean isn't here. What I say goes."

"Now, you have two minutes to discuss your strategy."

After saying that, he turned his back to them and shut off his hearing.

After hesitating for a moment, Oscar still hurried over and gave the five of them a general introduction to Zhao Wuji.

"Well, Teacher Zhao seems to be in a bad mood today, so he changed the test a little."

"I'll give you a brief introduction. Teacher Zhao is level seventy-six, and his Martial Soul is the Vajra Bear, a powerful beast Martial Soul with almost no weaknesses across its entire body."

"Teacher Zhao's strongest aspect is his defense. It's no exaggeration to say that among Soul Masters of the same level, no one can break Teacher Zhao's defense."

"But Teacher Zhao has one weakness: he's relatively slow."

He had actually wanted to add that no matter how slow Zhao Wuji was, a Soul Saint's foundation was there. He was not someone Soul Grandmasters like them could compare to.

"Vajra Bear? Could he be the Immovable Bright King from back then?"

After listening to Oscar's introduction, Ning Rongrong's delicate brows furrowed slightly. "I heard my father mention that ten years ago, the Immovable Bright King had a conflict with Spirit Hall. Spirit Hall sent sixteen bishops to surround him, yet they returned empty-handed."

"Ten years have passed. He should be even stronger now."

After hearing that, everyone but Jiang Chen sucked in a cold breath.

He had still managed to escape while surrounded by sixteen bishops, and after another ten years of growth, just how strong had the Immovable Bright King become?

"It's fine. With Jiang Chen here, lasting through one incense stick will be easy."

Thinking of Jiang Chen's terrifying abilities, Xiao Wu regained her confidence.

Tang San nodded as well. "Indeed. With Brother Chen here, merely lasting one incense stick's worth of time won't be difficult for us."

"Is he really that impressive?" Ning Rongrong looked at the golden-eyed youth who was absurdly handsome, curiosity written across her face.

Tang San and Xiao Wu were both top-tier geniuses, yet they thought so highly of someone their own age?

At that moment, Jiang Chen, who had remained silent until now, suddenly spoke. "There isn't much time. Tell us your roles and what abilities you specialize in first."

With time pressing, Tang San immediately continued as soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking. "Tang San, control-type Battle Soul Master, level twenty-nine. Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass. I specialize in binding and restriction."

"Xiao Wu, assault-type, level twenty-nine. Martial Soul: Soft Bone Rabbit. I specialize in close-range combat."

"Zhu Zhuqing, agility attack-type, level twenty-seven. Martial Soul: Hell Spirit Cat. Speed and surprise attacks."

"Ning Rongrong, support-type Tool Soul Master, level twenty-six. Martial Soul: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. I can boost everyone's strength and speed."

"You're from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

Tang San turned to Ning Rongrong in surprise. "I never expected the continent's foremost support-type Tool Soul Master to become our teammate!"

Ning Rongrong stuck out her tongue, looking a little embarrassed. "It's not that great. Right now, my support ability can increase your strength and speed by thirty percent for one incense stick's worth of time."

"But I should make one thing clear first: I don't have any offensive means."

After introducing her abilities, she secretly observed everyone's expressions.

She had thought they would be surprised, at least to some extent.

Yet aside from Zhu Zhuqing, the other three remained completely calm.

Finally, everyone's gaze landed on Jiang Chen.

"Jiang Chen, support-type Soul Master, level thirty. Martial Soul: Glazed Green Lotus. As for my abilities..."

Jiang Chen thought for a moment. "I suppose you could call me an all-rounder. Whatever a support-type Soul Master should have, I have."

"You're a support-type Soul Master too?" Ning Rongrong blinked.

This tall, sturdy youth did not look like a support-type Soul Master at all.

But with time limited, she could not continue asking questions.

"Alright, since we're clear on everything, we'll proceed as I said."

Tang San quickly swept his eyes over the group and drew a simple formation on the ground with his finger. "Xiao Wu, harass him from the front. Use your speed to disrupt Teacher Zhao's attacks. Zhu Zhuqing, launch surprise attacks from the flank and target his joints. You don't need to hurt Teacher Zhao; you only need to keep him occupied."

"Ning Rongrong, stand behind me and be ready to boost our speed and strength at any time. I'll stay in the center to provide support and use Blue Silver Grass to restrict his movements."

He spoke steadily and clearly, quickly devising a simple strategy based on everyone's strengths.

After hearing his plan, Zhu Zhuqing nodded in agreement. Just as she was about to speak, she realized Tang San seemed to have left someone out.

Ning Rongrong noticed it too and directly asked, "Tang San, you haven't said what Jiang Chen will be doing."

"Um..."

Tang San glanced sideways at Jiang Chen.

In his view, an assessment like this did not require Brother Chen to make a move at all.

"I'll just stay in the back and heal all of you."

Jiang Chen smiled. "Fight however you want, go wild however you want. As long as you still have a breath left, I can restore you."

"Really?" Ning Rongrong looked doubtful.

As a support-type Soul Master herself, she knew just how rare support-type Soul Masters with healing abilities were.

Even if the inheritor of the Nine Heart Begonia were here, they would not dare claim they could restore a Soul Master who had only one breath left.

"Why would I lie to you?"

Jiang Chen said irritably, "You only need to attack Teacher Zhao with everything you have. Leave the healing to me. You don't need to worry."

"If that isn't enough, I can boost your abilities too."

Jiang Chen had no intention of taking part in this team battle. It would provide almost negligible improvement for him.

The all-encompassing nature of the Glazed Green Lotus meant that Jiang Chen alone was already a team.

Besides, he could use Zhao Wuji's pressure to further improve Tang San's abilities. Why not?

"You can boost us too?"

Ning Rongrong was stunned.

How could a Martial Soul that could both heal and enhance others possibly exist in this world?

Even if it truly existed, there was no way the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would not know about it.

"Time's up!"

Zhao Wuji suddenly turned around, baring a mouthful of white teeth in a grin. "Come on, let me see what you little monsters are capable of!"

He casually took out an incense stick and flicked it with his fingertip. The tip ignited, and the stick was planted firmly into the ground.

"Alright, we'll do as I just said."

As Tang San's words fell, seven-colored streams of light had already lit up in Ning Rongrong's hand behind him, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared out of thin air.

In a crisp voice, she quickly recited her Soul Incantation: "Seven Treasures Famous: First, Strength. Second, Speed!"

Colored light burst forth and entered Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing respectively.

In an instant, the three of them felt the strength within their bodies increase significantly, while their steps became far lighter.

"Good heavens, someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect came this year too. If Flender sees this, he'll probably grin from ear to ear."
