By the time Jiang Lin returned to the training ground, everyone else was already sitting on the ground resting, but Zhu Zhuqing stubbornly challenged Li Yusong again.
Seeing this, Li Yusong frowned slightly. He wanted to refuse, but faced with her resolute gaze, he ultimately held his tongue.
"All right, Zhu Zhuqing. You've already lost five matches in a row. If you lose this last one, leave the rest until tomorrow. It really is getting late."
Zhu Zhuqing merely nodded slightly, saying nothing more.
"Since you're ready, come at me."
Li Yusong beckoned with his hand, and a long staff with dragon-shaped patterns winding across its surface appeared in his palm. It was his martial soul, the Dragon Pattern Staff.
Seeing Li Yusong summon his martial soul, Zhu Zhuqing no longer hesitated. Her figure flashed as her martial soul possessed her, and sharp claws gleaming with a cold light shot straight toward his neck.
But before she could close in, Li Yusong swept his Dragon Pattern Staff across!
Zhu Zhuqing did not panic in the slightest. She deftly flipped in midair and planted her toes on the incoming Dragon Pattern Staff.
Using that force, Zhu Zhuqing immediately unleashed her first soul skill, Hell Stab. Her speed surged, and in the blink of an eye, she leaped behind Li Yusong and unleashed her second soul skill.
"Netherworld Hundred Claws!"
In an instant, over a hundred tightly packed claw shadows flew out, about to strike the back of Li Yusong's neck.
But Li Yusong's combat experience and instincts clearly far surpassed Zhu Zhuqing's. He spun sharply and brought the Dragon Pattern Staff crashing straight down toward her head!
Left with no choice, Zhu Zhuqing abandoned her attack and darted backward. Yet however fast she was, she could not outpace Li Yusong. In
