Xie Xie was very honest. "Li Luo's martial soul is the Rainbow Dragon King, which suppresses all dragon-type martial souls. My martial soul is the Light Dragon Dagger, so I simply couldn't muster any fighting spirit against him."
"Is that so?" Wu Zhangkong's voice was cold.
Tang Wulin nodded vigorously. "Teacher Wu, Xie Xie isn't lying. We fought once before; Li Luo assisted me in a match against Xie Xie, and Xie Xie surrendered after only a few exchanges."
"And what about you?"
Wu Zhangkong's voice grew even colder. "Your martial soul is Blue Silver Grass. Could it be that you are also suppressed by Li Luo's Rainbow Dragon King?"
"Yes, Teacher." Tang Wulin lowered his head.
Although his martial soul was Blue Silver Grass, he was truly suppressed by Brother Luo.
But how could he explain this to Teacher Wu?
For a moment, Tang Wulin felt a sense of guilt toward Wu Zhangkong.
At this moment, Wu Zhangkong's voice rang out again, only his tone had turned so cold that it felt as if the surrounding air had dropped several degrees.
"Li Luo and Xie Xie as a team, against Gu Yue and Tang Wulin!"
"Teacher, that won't work!"
When Wu Zhangkong grouped them again, the three little ones refused once more.
It was impossible to tell if Wu Zhangkong was angry or something else, but his gaze was icy.
"Good!"
"Very good!"
Frost seemed to emanate from Wu Zhangkong's body. "Since you all claim to be suppressed by Li Luo, then fighting me shouldn't result in any suppression, right?"
"Ah?!" Xie Xie exclaimed in shock.
Tang Wulin pressed, "Teacher Wu, what do you mean?"
The corners of Wu Zhangkong's mouth seemed to twitch. "You heard me correctly!"
"I said!"
"You are to fight me!"
Xie Xie and Tang Wulin were both filled with terror. Over this period, they had heard plenty of stories about Teacher Wu.
It was suspected that Teacher Wu had emerged from a mysterious place.
His strength had reached a terrifying six rings.
And now, Teacher Wu was saying they should fight him.
Had Teacher Wu gone mad?
Or had they gone mad?
Gu Yue, however, was not overly surprised; she merely raised an eyebrow. If she could fight side-by-side with the Dragon Queen, she would fear nothing, no matter who the enemy was.
Li Luo was even more composed.
He was a support!
He didn't have to be the one fighting for his life.
He would just hide in the back and toss out skills beautifully.
If they could win, they would fight.
If they couldn't, then so be it.
It was no big deal.
Soon, on the arena, Wu Zhangkong stood, his blue robes fluttering.
He had yet to make a move.
A sharp, icy sword aura seemed to already be radiating from his body.
Opposite him stood the four little ones, including Li Luo.
Wu Zhangkong's voice was cold. "In that mysterious place, rebelling against one's superiors and challenging one's teachers is a very common occurrence."
"Today, I will give you a chance."
"If you want to become true geniuses, then defeat me."
"I will suppress my soul power to level twenty."
"I will use at most two soul ring skills."
Wu Zhangkong sighed. "However, I suspect that even so, you still won't be able to defeat me."
Wu Zhangkong was not posturing.
It was practically just showing off.
"Go." Li Luo waved his hand, and Gu Yue, Xie Xie, and Tang Wulin shot forward like arrows released from a bow, charging toward Wu Zhangkong.
The tactic was very simple.
Just swarm him.
Seeing their movements, Wu Zhangkong shook his head repeatedly. "I always teach you that in battle, you must be sure to protect your support soul master."
"And yet, you all rush at me in a swarm."
"Isn't Li Luo left completely unprotected?"
Even in the midst of battle, Wu Zhangkong did not forget to instruct them.
He pointed his wooden sword slightly.
His footsteps were illusory.
Like a ghost.
A Tang Sect ultimate technique, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track. Wu Zhangkong's body became a blur, preparing to slip past the trio.
The next moment...
"Whoosh!"
A thick vine of Blue Silver Grass accurately predicted his next landing spot.
It lashed out like a whip with a sharp "crack."
At the same time, Gu Yue chanted softly, "Swamp!"
A patch of swamp manifested beneath Wu Zhangkong's feet.
His pace slowed slightly.
The thick Blue Silver Grass was already upon him.
He flicked his wooden sword to parry.
The Blue Silver Grass did not snap as expected; instead, because of the resistance, his force was somewhat spent.
"Rip!"
The Light Dragon Dagger struck insidiously toward his crotch.
At that moment, Wu Zhangkong...
"Boom!"
With a surge of soul power, the Light Dragon Dagger was sent flying.
Immediately following, sharp, icy soul power coated his wooden sword, and with another strike, the Blue Silver Grass snapped in two.
Tang Wulin let out a muffled groan.
Wu Zhangkong stomped his foot, and the swamp vanished.
As for him...
"Whoosh!"
With his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track at full power, his shifting figure filled the arena, and his voice seemed to come from all directions.
"I told you all to protect your support soul master."
He looked toward the rear, where no one remained to block him; Li Luo was waiting there like a sitting duck.
"Oh no, Brother Luo is in danger!"
"Oh no, the Dragon Queen is in danger!"
Gu Yue, Xie Xie, and Tang Wulin had been feeling disheartened after being easily handled by Wu Zhangkong's few attacks.
But seeing Li Luo exposed before Wu Zhangkong, the three of them were filled with self-reproach.
It was their fault for failing to protect Li Luo.
"No!"
A scene of the Dragon Queen's fall flashed inexplicably through Gu Yue's mind, and she refused to see it happen again.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Gu Yue acted as if she had swallowed gunpowder, flames dancing wildly behind her.
Six Elemental Envoys.
Fire was included.
This was Gu Yue's rage!
Tang Wulin's eyes turned blood-red, and a faint golden light shimmered beneath his skin. If anyone wanted to hurt Brother Luo, they would have to step over his corpse.
"Boom!"
Tang Wulin also unleashed his full potential, ignoring the backlash from his severed Blue Silver Grass as he charged toward Wu Zhangkong without a second thought.
Xie Xie followed suit, his right hand wielding the Light Dragon Dagger.
His left hand remained hidden in the shadows.
Wu Zhangkong had not expected that by targeting the support, he would end up poking a hornet's nest.
The three little ones were nothing but an annoying hornet's nest.
If he ignored the trio and focused solely on taking down Li Luo, he would expose his back to the three of them in their fury.
The three little ones had erupted too quickly, all of them going berserk.
They were brimming with killing intent.
Almost instantly, they were right on his heels.
Even Wu Zhangkong dared not ignore them completely at this moment.
"Still, it's not a big problem."
Wu Zhangkong remained confident; if he could easily break through their encirclement earlier, then now, it would just take a little more effort.
But Wu Zhangkong had not anticipated one thing.
Previously, the three little ones had not received any support buffs from Li Luo, but now, facing Wu Zhangkong's attack, Li Luo did not retreat.
Instead, he took a step forward.
He faced Wu Zhangkong head-on.
A brilliant radiance shone from his body.
The beautiful Rainbow Dragon King manifested.
Embedded in its forehead was that Beauty Badge.
Beneath Li Luo's feet, a yellow century-level soul ring rose, and he chanted softly, "Pure Beauty Light!"
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Three streaks of seven-colored light plunged into Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, and Xie Xie almost simultaneously.
"Awoo!"
Tang Wulin let out a strange cry as his thick Blue Silver Grass rapidly turned black, making it look like a powerful, sinewy giant python.
"Ah, hit, hit, hit!"
The Blue Silver Grass lashed out like a whip, creating sonic booms as it tore through the air.
Xie Xie also let out a strange cry.
"So good!"
He felt so invigorated that his eyes rolled back...
