Sparring with Little Monsters

Dai Mubai hurried over and helped Zhu Zhuqing up from the ground.

"Damn it, Xiao Wu!" Tang San shouted.

Xiao Wu understood all too well. She grabbed the wooden cart in front of her and hurled it over. Tang San cooperated perfectly as Blue Silver Grass instantly spread across the entire square, restricting Zhao Wuji's movements.

With a bang, the wooden cart exploded against Zhao Wuji's head. Yet this time, Zhao Wuji was still completely unharmed, as if such things were mere toys before him.

Tang San narrowed his eyes. As expected of the Great Vajra Bear—his body was truly incomparably tough.

Na'er raised her head, pushed off the ground with the tips of her toes, and waved her right hand. A silver-white spear appeared in her palm.

A terrifying aura enveloped Zhao Wuji's body almost instantly. Before Tang San and the others could react, Na'er had already arrived before Zhao Wuji.

At that moment, the Silver Dragon Spear in Na'er's right hand swung up, carrying a fan-shaped streak of white light as it slashed toward Zhao Wuji.

After sensing the aura radiating from the Silver Dragon Spear, Zhao Wuji's brows furrowed slightly. Under that aura, even his martial soul seemed to be affected, trembling violently.

He did not dare slacken in the slightest. Power suddenly burst from his right palm, and an earthen-yellow light met the incoming Silver Dragon Spear.

With a thunderous boom, Na'er was sent flying dozens of meters away. At that moment, Lin Xiao appeared behind her and caught her body.

Zhao Wuji was no better off. He had already underestimated her just now, and he had never expected a little girl to unleash such terrifying power.

Zhao Wuji had only used thirty percent of his strength just now. He had never imagined that Na'er's strike would send him flying.

With another thunderous boom, Zhao Wuji flew even faster than Na'er, crashing headlong into an abandoned warehouse.

Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing all went pale. Everything had happened far too quickly for them to see what had occurred.

Lin Xiao lowered his head to look at Na'er. "Are you all right?"

"I'm fine."

"That's good." Lin Xiao let out a sigh of relief and turned toward Zhao Wuji amid the ruins. This time, he had truly embarrassed himself.

Zhao Wuji's old face flushed red. Making a fool of himself before so many students—how was he supposed to face them in the future?

Just as Zhao Wuji was about to summon his martial soul, Lin Xiao walked to the center of the field.

"I'll test the little monsters' strength."

Zhao Wuji withdrew his martial soul. "All right."

Tang San and the others frowned slightly. This was the first time they had seen Lin Xiao, and they had no idea of his actual strength or what his martial soul was.

Anyone who could earn such respect from Zhao Wuji was certainly no ordinary person. He was very likely a Soul Saint as well.

Still, this was the first time they had seen such a young Soul Saint.

Na'er held the Silver Dragon Spear and looked at Lin Xiao. "Brother, be careful."

"Come at me." Lin Xiao waved his right hand, and an enormous ice-blue phoenix appeared behind him in midair.

A terrifyingly frigid aura suddenly blanketed all of Shrek Academy. At the same time, crystalline snowflakes drifted down from the sky.

It was actually snowing.

Zhao Wuji's expression changed drastically. A top-tier martial soul, the Ice Phoenix!

Tang San sucked in a breath. His teacher had once told him that several martial souls stood at the pinnacle of this world, and one of them was the Ice Phoenix.

Unlike Ma Hongjun's, whose martial soul had only become a phoenix later on, the phoenix behind Lin Xiao looked almost real. Its terrifying icy chill was like the descent of the Grim Reaper, sending shivers down one's spine.

Dai Mubai, who stood closest to Lin Xiao, was especially pale. When he tried to leave the area, he discovered that he could not move at all.

This was one of Lin Xiao's second martial souls, the Ice Phoenix. It was also Wang Zhaojun's martial soul.

Lin Xiao's second martial soul could switch endlessly between the martial souls of Li Bai and the others. In other words, as long as there were enough people, he could switch martial souls without limit.

Seeing their expressions, Lin Xiao said with a chuckle, "Don't worry. I won't use my full strength. Attack without holding back."

Tang San gritted his teeth and nodded to the others. At the same time, they charged forward.

At the same time, dozens of Blue Silver Grass vines burst from the ground and tightly wrapped around Lin Xiao's limbs.

Na'er blinked her adorable large eyes. After seeing the opportunity, she charged straight at Lin Xiao.

"First Soul Skill, Waist Bow."

"First Soul Skill, Hell Stab."

"Second Martial Soul, Parasitism."

"Elemental Tide!"

Watching the others rush at him from all directions, Lin Xiao showed no panic. With a strange smile, the surroundings suddenly changed color.

The previously ordinary ground suddenly turned blue, and terrifying cold caused thick ice to form over the earth.

Tang San and the others turned pale. At that moment, they realized they could not get even half a step closer. The moment they advanced even slightly, the blood in their bodies began to freeze, as though they would become ice sculptures the next second.

At the same time, the Blue Silver Grass around Lin Xiao could no longer withstand the icy chill and burst apart inch by inch.

Not only that, but for some unknown reason, Tang San felt a sharp pain in his chest. His throat sweetened, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Pfft."

"Brother." Xiao Wu immediately ran over and supported Tang San as he fell to the ground.

Tang San raised his right hand. "What happened?"

Na'er retreated several steps, putting distance between herself and Lin Xiao to avoid being harmed by the cold.

"You've lost." Lin Xiao withdrew the Ice Phoenix martial soul and looked at them with a smile.

With Xiao Wu's support, Tang San slowly rose to his feet. "Teacher, we haven't lost yet."

"Oh?" Lin Xiao looked at Tang San. He had already taught him a lesson just now, though Tang San did not know it.

"What other moves do you have? Use them."

Tang San nodded to the others. As long as they distracted Lin Xiao, he would have a chance to succeed.

"Brother, let's admit defeat," Xiao Wu said softly.

"No." A chill flashed in Tang San's eyes. "We can't admit defeat. There are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters. Today, we'll let him see how formidable we are!"

Tang San stepped his right leg outward and assumed a horse stance. Before the others could react, streaks of silver-white objects shot from his palms.

Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes. "Oh, so these are hidden weapons. Mere Mysterious Jade Hand is far from enough."

My Body is the Sword!

At the same time, sword qi suddenly erupted from Lin Xiao's body. A terrifying shockwave tore through the air, slicing every hidden weapon before him in half. Before Tang San could unleash the Silent Sleeve Arrow and Meridian-Breaking Needle again, the silver needles that had fallen to the ground suddenly flew back.

They pierced directly into Tang San's body.
