Hit and Run

Gu Yue spoke, then smiled at Wu Zhangkong.

Wu Zhangkong's gaze swept over them.

He knew perfectly well that these little fellows might have other intentions, but Wu Zhangkong merely nodded calmly.

"Fine. If you want to fight, then let's do it. We'll go straight to the training field. It should be empty right now anyway."

"I won't bully you either. The strongest among you is Li Moxun. I'll fight you using only the strength of a Third Ring Soul Master."

As Wu Zhangkong spoke, his gaze swept over the group.

He then rose to his feet and, without pausing in the slightest, walked straight outside in his Little Yellow Duck pajamas.

Seeing Wu Zhangkong's actions, Tang Wulin and the others exchanged glances.

Then, all their gazes turned toward Li Moxun.

Meeting their looks, Li Moxun nodded calmly as well.

Among them, he was the strongest. Only by relying on his own Third Ring strength did he stand a chance of breaking through Wu Zhangkong's defenses.

The others absolutely could not manage it.

So if they truly wanted to give Wu Zhangkong a shock, Li Moxun would have to go all out.

Li Moxun did not object. After all, Wu Zhangkong had just beaten him up, so it would be good to return the shock.

In truth, he had used the Titan Snow Demon King's full power that afternoon.

He had only lost because his own agility was still lacking.

In other words, while his physical strength was not weak, he still could not compare to a peak Soul Emperor in terms of physical defense and speed.

That was why Li Moxun had lost.

But if he were facing a Wu Zhangkong who stood there without moving, then the result could only be... hehe.

On the training field, Wu Zhangkong stood there calmly.

He raised his hand, and the Frost Sword appeared.

Looking at his students, he raised an eyebrow at them.

"Begin. Let me see where exactly your confidence comes from."

As Wu Zhangkong spoke, he lightly raised the Frost Sword in his hand.

Feeling the aura around Wu Zhangkong, Tang Wulin and the others exchanged looks.

Tang Wulin was the first to step forward.

The Golden Dragon Claw appeared on his left arm, with terrifying Golden Dragon power swirling around it.

Then he suddenly lunged forward.

Feeling the immense power erupting from Tang Wulin's body, Wu Zhangkong's expression remained calm.

The aura of a Third Ring Soul Master radiated from his body.

Then he stepped forward and delivered a direct side kick to Tang Wulin's chest.

The kick came too quickly. Tang Wulin did not even have time to react before he was sent flying.

Of course, just as Tang Wulin was kicked away, Xie Xie had already arrived from the other side.

Xie Xie raised the Twin Dragon Daggers in his hands, and the intertwined powers of light and darkness spread wildly outward.

But the next instant, Wu Zhangkong's second soul skill lit up.

Extreme frost condensed. As Xie Xie's body suddenly slowed, Wu Zhangkong changed his attack from a slash to a smack, directly sending Xie Xie flying.

Looking at the two of them, Wu Zhangkong frowned.

Their strength had not improved by much.

The next moment, fireballs and icy rain filled the sky as they crashed down.

This attack would affect him somewhat, but they still should not have been his match.

That left Wu Zhangkong both curious and puzzled.

He did not understand where these children got the confidence to challenge him with the strength they had displayed before.

But as ice and fire intertwined, and the mist filling the sky dispersed the next instant, Wu Zhangkong had barely taken a step when six ice chains descended in an instant.

The six ice chains came incredibly fast, seemingly teleporting out of midair.

Wu Zhangkong had no time to react. Even with the awareness and foundation of a Soul Emperor, he could not evade them.

Still, the six ice chains had limited ability to restrain his Soul Power.

Although he had suppressed his strength to the Third Ring, he was still a six-ringed Soul Emperor.

Thus, the restraint truly only lasted for one second.

But during that second when Wu Zhangkong was restrained within the smoke, he clearly saw three spirit rings appear before him, followed by the first and second spirit rings lighting up at the same time.

Seeing this, Wu Zhangkong's pupils contracted.

The next second, an even more terrifying, ultimate chill surged forth.

The bone-piercing cold carried by it instantly overwhelmed even the chill emanating from his Skyfrost Sword.

Then, at the very instant he had just broken free, he saw Li Moxun—his left arm already covered in fur—calmly take a step forward.

The muscles in the youth's left arm bulged, as terrifying frost power gathered within them.

As his second Soul Skill, Ice Prison Fist, activated in an instant, a terrifying punch descended, bolstered by his first Soul Skill.

That punch struck Wu Zhangkong's body viciously.

Wu Zhangkong could not even dodge. He could only barely raise the Skyfrost Sword in front of his chest.

The next second, ultimate strength combined with ultimate ice, along with a powerful amplification force, sent Wu Zhangkong flying backward.

Just as he was about to land, the aura of a Soul Emperor burst from his body, instantly lifting the restrictions.

Wu Zhangkong looked at Li Moxun in shock.

Yet upon seeing Wu Zhangkong sent flying by a single strike and forcibly remove the restrictions, Li Moxun's expression remained unchanged.

After taking his punch, Wu Zhangkong definitely would not be feeling too good.

And Li Moxun knew exactly what Wu Zhangkong intended to do next.

So, before anyone else could react, he slightly cupped his fists toward Wu Zhangkong.

"Teacher Wu, it's already 11:30. I'm going back to sleep. Goodbye, Teacher Wu."

After saying that, Li Moxun's expression did not change in the slightest, but he turned and took off, moving four or five times faster than usual.

Just as Wu Zhangkong was about to speak, pain suddenly shot through his abdomen.

Even Wu Zhangkong was stunned for a moment.

The pain was intense, and a frigid icy power had seeped into his body.

If he had not forcibly broken it down with the Soul Power of a Soul Emperor, that blow alone would have been enough to inflict serious injuries on him.

By the time Wu Zhangkong recovered and wanted to stop Li Moxun, he discovered that Li Moxun had long since vanished without a trace.

The other four walked over in confusion, looking at Wu Zhangkong.

All four wore proud expressions. Even Gu Yue, who usually looked rather stern, had a faint smile on her face.

Yet as he looked at the smiles on their faces, Wu Zhangkong's expression turned incomparably strange in an instant.

"Your strength is indeed quite formidable. I also failed to keep to my original promise of using only Third Ring Soul Power. Fine, this time, you've succeeded."

"Who came up with this plan?"

As Wu Zhangkong spoke, he took a deep breath while looking at them.

His eyes closed subconsciously, then slowly opened again.

Looking at Wu Zhangkong, excitement appeared on all four of their faces.

"Wulin came up with the plan, Teacher. How did we do this time?"

Xie Xie spoke excitedly.

But when his gaze swept around, he discovered that Li Moxun, who had been there moments ago, was gone.

Xie Xie was left somewhat dumbfounded.

Seeing where Xie Xie was looking, the others also glanced around.

All four were bewildered, unable to understand where Li Moxun had gone.

But before they could continue speaking, Wu Zhangkong's calm voice rang out again.

"You did perform quite well this time. It seems that with only the Third Ring, I can no longer defeat you.

"How about this? I'll adjust my strength to the Fourth Ring, and then we'll try again. Let me see just how much you've improved this time."

Wu Zhangkong smiled at them as he spoke.

The next second, four Spirit Rings appeared around him. A terrifying longsword rose up, and he charged straight at the four of them.
