"Ahem, although I don't really want to interrupt your brotherly reunion, the assessment is about to begin. Are you two ready?" Zhao Wuji stood up from his chair, interrupting Tang San and Tang Liu.

"Brother, let's pass the assessment first, and then we can talk properly." Tang Liu was the first to stand up, looking at Zhao Wuji.

"Okay." Tang San also stood up, ruffling Tang Liu's shoulder-length hair.

However, looking at Tang Liu, who barely reached his chest, Tang San felt a sense of strangeness.

"Don't worry, Dad raised me well, he didn't starve me, and I didn't have stunted growth." Tang Liu saw what he was thinking and said.

Tang San nodded and smiled, "Then you'll have to work hard to grow taller."

"Hmph, I'm still young anyway." Tang Liu rolled his eyes.

"Are you ready, little ones?" Zhao Wuji chuckled.

"Teacher Zhao, let's begin." Tang San stepped forward, shielding Tang Liu and Xiao Wu behind him, and said in a deep voice.

"Good." Zhao Wuji lit another stick of incense and stood still, "Come on, let me see what moves you have."

Tang San and Ning Rongrong released their martial souls, while Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing underwent Martial Soul Possession.

However, they all had two yellow soul rings.

Tang Liu smiled slightly, tucked Little Funi back into his clothes, and then released his martial soul.

Crystal-like vines stretched out, and the Ethereal Blue Silver Emperor grew slowly. Then, one yellow, one purple, and one black soul ring rose from his feet.

This time, the soul rings did not encircle the Ethereal Blue Silver Emperor but pulsed around his body.

"Soul Elder, ten-thousand-year soul ring!" Zhao Wuji's pupils contracted, and then he burst into laughter, "Good, a decent little monster."

Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu looked at Tang Liu with changed expressions.

Tang San was stunned for a moment, then felt happy.

The stronger his brother was, the more relieved he felt.

"Zhu Zhuqing, go carry out your assassin's mission!" Tang Liu shouted, and his second soul ring flashed.

A transparent blue vine with golden patterns quietly wrapped around Zhu Zhuqing's left arm, and then her graceful figure disappeared.

"Invisibility?" Zhao Wuji let out a surprised "Oh?"

"Xiao Liu, give me Ethereal Defense." Tang San said.

Even though six years had passed, he still remembered his brother's first soul skill.

"Coming."

Tang Liu responded, and his yellow soul ring flashed. A vine also wrapped around Tang San's left arm.

But Tang San did not become invisible like Zhu Zhuqing; instead, he entered a state of etherealization.

After Ethereal Defense was applied, Tang San immediately activated his first soul skill, Bind.

Blue Silver Grass surged out and quickly bound Zhao Wuji tightly.

"Mere Blue Silver Grass, you think you can trap me?" Zhao Wuji laughed and was about to exert force to break the Blue Silver Grass.

But soon, he let out a cry of surprise.

"What's going on?"

Although the Blue Silver Grass was binding him, when he exerted force, it felt as if he was touching nothing. His strength naturally fell into empty space.

"Hehehe." Tang Liu let out a mischievous laugh.

In fact, his first soul skill had a flaw. For example, in Zhao Wuji's current situation, the Blue Silver Grass was restraining him and preventing him from moving, yet he couldn't touch the Blue Silver Grass at all.

But it was precisely this flaw that made his first soul skill incredibly useful.

Just then, a dark claw light appeared – it was Zhu Zhuqing, who had been invisible, making her move.

First soul skill, Hell Stab!

It aimed directly for Zhao Wuji's eyes.

Zhao Wuji was forced to release his martial soul to block Zhu Zhuqing's attack.

Soul power surged, and Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was finally severed by the soul power emanating from Zhao Wuji.

He quickly raised his hand to block Zhu Zhuqing's attack, while simultaneously reaching out with his other hand to grab her.

Since Zhu Zhuqing had launched her attack, she had naturally emerged from her stealth. The vine on her left arm had also disappeared.

But at this moment, another vine appeared out of thin air on her left arm. The next second, Zhao Wuji's hand passed through Zhu Zhuqing's body, and Zhu Zhuqing passed through Zhao Wuji's body.

She was only stunned for a moment before immediately unleashing Hell Hundred Claws on Zhao Wuji.

For a time, the sound of clashing metal echoed continuously.

"Seven Treasures Famous, first: Speed, second: Strength!"

At this moment, Ning Rongrong also recovered from the shock caused by Tang Liu's soul rings and began to provide support to everyone.

A thirty percent increase instantly elevated Zhu Zhuqing's attacks to a higher level.

At the same time, Xiao Wu also made her move.

Each time her toes lightly touched the ground, she could spring forward four to five meters.

Within a single breath, she arrived before Zhao Wuji, her feet clamping around his neck. Then, her first spirit skill, Waist Bow!

Just then, Zhao Wuji's feet were entangled by a large amount of Blue Silver Grass. With Tang San's pull from Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, he slid backward.

Coupled with Xiao Wu's Waist Bow, Zhao Wuji was flung into the air.

Simultaneously, Zhu Zhuqing, who had been waiting for an opportunity, struck again. Hell Stab pursued Zhao Wuji's airborne figure, and then Hell Hundred Claws was unleashed.

Sparks continuously flew from Zhao Wuji's body. But he released his spirit, his defense incredibly formidable; Zhu Zhuqing could do nothing to him.

As soon as Zhu Zhuqing's attack ended, Xiao Wu's attack followed.

She stomped on Zhao Wuji's lower abdomen, sending him crashing heavily to the ground.

Two strands of Blue Silver Grass then wrapped around Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing's waists, pulling them back to Tang San's side.

At this point, the incense stick had only burned for less than a third of its length.

"Not bad, very good," Zhao Wuji laughed as he stood up. "However, next, it's my turn to attack."

As soon as his voice fell, his first spirit ring lit up.

First spirit skill, Immovable Wisdom King Body!

A visible ring of energy surged outward rapidly. Just as it was about to reach the group, Tang Liu's pitch-black third spirit ring quietly lit up.

"Host: Tang Liu (Male) Age: 12 Spirit Power: 43 Spirit One: Ethereal Blue Silver Emperor ... Spirit Ring Three: Spirit Skill, Ethereal Protection [Designates up to 10 (upgradable) units, applying Ethereal Protection to them. For the next 5 (upgradable) seconds, all attacks (including special effects) targeting units with Ethereal Protection will have their maximum damage reduced by 95% (or the theoretical optimal effect of reducing special effects by 90%). Simultaneously, units with Ethereal Protection will gain an additional 60% damage reduction for 5 (upgradable) seconds. Ethereal Protection cannot be reapplied within its effective duration.]"
