Tang San Becomes a "Sandbag"

[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: @All Members, I'm giving you a heads-up. The group chat is about to reach level three, and a new feature called the 'Mission System' will be unlocked.]

[Everyone: A mission?!]

[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: @First Cute Bunny @Pagoda Suppresses River Demon @No Petting Cats, I will be releasing a special mission soon and designating the three of you to take it. You must accept.]

The three girls exchanged glances and agreed without the slightest hesitation.

[First Cute Bunny: No problem! We accept!]

Ye Qiong nodded in satisfaction, then tapped into the system's exchange shop, spending 1,000 Emotion Points to purchase a sci-fi-styled Soul Power Driven Pistol.

He stuffed the pistol into an exclusive red packet and sent it directly to the three girls.

The next second, to the girls' shock, a red packet appeared out of thin air and dropped in front of them.

Ning Rongrong opened it cautiously, and a silver pistol lay quietly inside.

[Pagoda Suppresses River Demon: [Image] Group Owner! What is this? How do I use it?]

Ye Qiong casually tossed a tutorial video into the group.

[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: It's simple. Channel your soul power to charge it, then aim at your target and pull the trigger.]

Everyone clicked on the video. In it, a straw target was instantly blasted into a cloud of debris by a blue beam of energy.

The entire process was clean, efficient, and terrifyingly powerful.

Seeing this, the group fell into a brief silence before erupting in unprecedented amazement.

[I Am Not Yanzi: Holy crap! This power... it's so fierce!]

[Heavenly King Covers Earth Fox: This... is this really a weapon a Soul Grandmaster can use?]

The three girls were also left dumbfounded.

[Pagoda Suppresses River Demon: With this, what do we have to fear from Zhao Wuji!]

They immediately made a decision: to entrust this ultimate weapon to Ning Rongrong, who, as an auxiliary type, had the weakest self-defense capabilities.

With the immediate crisis resolved, everyone became deeply interested in the Mission System and the rewards Ye Qiong had mentioned.

[Pagoda Suppresses River Demon: Group Owner, Group Owner, what exactly is that Mission System? What are the rewards for completing missions?]

[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: By completing missions, you can earn a special currency called 'Stellar Jade'.]

[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: When the time comes, a feature called 'Warp' will be opened in the group. You can use Stellar Jade to draw prizes and obtain various rewards.]

[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: Rewards include, but are not limited to, high-tier soul rings, high-quality soul bones, top-grade medicinal pills, extraordinary weapons, and all sorts of practical items you can't even imagine.]

These words were like a heavy bomb, causing an uproar in the group.

You can even draw soul rings and soul bones?!

[Most Beautiful Pope: Soul rings... does that include hundred-thousand-year soul rings?]

Bibi Dong was almost the first to ask.

[Galaxy Baseball Bat Hero: That's right.]

Ye Qiong's affirmative reply sent the anticipation of the entire group to its peak.

Especially for Bibi Dong, who was approaching the next step of the Rakshasa God inheritance.

As a possessor of Twin Martial Souls, Bibi Dong was undoubtedly in need of something better.

A hundred-thousand-year soul ring was her goal.

This "Warp" feature held a fatal attraction for her.

Dai Mubai led Tang San and the three girls to an open space, where a burly middle-aged man was dozing off in a chair.

"Teacher Zhao, I've brought the candidates."

Zhao Wuji opened his eyes, scanned the four of them, and announced the assessment rules: the four of them must join forces and hold out against him for the duration of one incense stick.

He lit an incense stick, stuck it in the ground, and gave them time to discuss their tactics.

"Let's introduce ourselves first and determine our strategy."

Tang San immediately reported his basic information.

"I am Tang San, Tool Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass, level 29 Control System Battle Soul Grandmaster."

"Xiao Wu, Beast Martial Soul Rabbit, level 29 Assault System Battle Soul Grandmaster."

"Ning Rongrong, Tool Martial Soul Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, level 26 Auxiliary System Tool Soul Grandmaster."

"Zhu Zhuqing, Beast Martial Soul Hell Spirit Cat, level 27 Agility System Battle Soul Grandmaster."

Tang San quickly assigned roles: "The strategy is clear. Ning Rongrong, you are responsible for auxiliary buffs. Xiao Wu, you are the main attacker. I will use my Blue Silver Grass to bind the waists of you three; this will allow us to adjust our positioning at any time, provide emergency rescue, and coordinate with Xiao Wu to execute the Meteor Hammer tactic. Zhu Zhuqing, you will harass from the flanks using your speed. Remember, the core of this tactic is me. If I get caught up in the fray, everyone will be affected, so you must keep up with the rhythm."

The three girls looked at each other, expressions of "I understand" on their faces, and nodded in unison.

"Understood."

Seeing this, Tang San nodded in satisfaction; he was full of confidence in his strategy.

However, in a place he could not see, the style of the three girls in the group chat was completely different.

[First Cute Bunny: Sisters, did you all see that? This is the "orthodox tactic" personally taught by Grandmaster! Do you remember what the Group Owner said about our fainting spell before? It was because this tactic affects the whole body with a single hair; if your reaction is even half a beat slow, it's all over!]

[Pagoda Suppresses River Demon: Heard it, heard it. Talking nonsense with such a straight face, it's killing me.]

[No Petting Cats: Mmh, he is very serious.]

[Begonia Blossoms: The tactic you mentioned in the group just now, I think it sounds quite good.]

[I Am Not Yanzi: Hahahaha, Tang San is going to be unlucky! You must record the whole thing; I want to see the look on his face when he's sold and still helping them count the money!]

[Heavenly King Covers Earth Fox: I can already imagine the scene.]

[First Cute Bunny: Don't worry, I've already enabled third-party perspective recording. High quality and uncensored, guaranteed!]

The time for one stick of incense passed quickly.

Zhao Wuji stood up, stretched his limbs, looked at the four little ones before him, and grinned: "Finished discussing? Then, let's begin!"

The tip of the incense ignited, and the assessment officially started.

"Xiao Wu, go!" Tang San let out a low shout, his Blue Silver Grass martial soul instantly released. Just as he was about to wrap it around the waists of the three girls to build the tactical framework, the scene he expected—Xiao Wu rushing out like an arrow—did not happen.

Xiao Wu's figure flickered, and she flashed directly to the other side of the field, forming a pincer movement with Zhu Zhuqing, leaving him, the "main controller," completely stranded in the middle.

His Blue Silver Grass froze in mid-air.

Why weren't they playing according to his script?

Ning Rongrong also retreated rapidly to the very edge of the field. The Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda shone brightly, and two rays of light landed precisely on Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu: "Seven Treasures has a name, one is: Power! Two is: Speed!"

Tang San was stunned. What was going on? The script wasn't written like this!

"Kid, your teammates seem to have forgotten about you." Zhao Wuji's playful voice rang in his ears, and a hand as large as a palm-leaf fan was already slapping toward Tang San.

Tang San was startled, his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track activated, and he dodged backward in a sorry state.

Was he actually being treated as a punching bag?

Zhu Zhuqing had received the speed boost, and her speed was astonishing, like a black flash of lightning.

She did not choose to attack head-on, but instead kept circling around Zhao Wuji, occasionally interfering with him.

Zhao Wuji was getting annoyed by her harassment and slapped backhand, but Zhu Zhuqing was like a cunning cat; she twisted her body and deliberately dodged toward Tang San's direction.

Zhao Wuji's attack missed, but the force of his palm swept straight toward Tang San.

Holy crap!
