A Transmigrator's Opportunity

"I just do a little business and have some business dealings with Spirit Hall, so I only know these things because of that."

In any case, she had not lied. The Moonlight Merchant Guild really did have "just a tiny bit" of business dealings with Spirit Hall, supplying them with large quantities of high-quality grain, fruits, and melons year-round.

"But what about you? How do you know these things too?"

Chu Zhao also wanted to probe the person before her, but she had clearly overestimated him.

"None of your business! Who are you? What right do you have to meddle in my affairs?"

With words so full of childishness, he probably had not been much older before he transmigrated.

Chu Zhao shook her head with a smile. What a waste of thought she had given this person, even making a special trip to Shrek Academy because she feared he might pose a threat to her.

Now, it seemed she had overthought things.

Even so, Chu Zhao did not completely lower her guard around him.

There seemed to be some kind of opportunity on this person.

After all, after he had snapped at her earlier, the fluctuations of his strength had faintly grown stronger.

After that little interlude, they soon arrived at the fourth test.

The fourth test was still for six people to endure under Soul Saint Zhao Wuji for the time it took an incense stick to burn.

Not all six of them knew one another, so introductions were unavoidable.

It was then that Chu Zhao learned this Transmigrator's name and Martial Soul.

"My name is Tang San. Weapon Soul, Blue Silver Grass. Level twenty-nine Control System Battle Soul Master."

"Xiao Wu. Beast Martial Soul, Rabbit. Level twenty-nine Assault System Battle Soul Master."

"Zhu Zhuqing. Beast Martial Soul, Hell Spirit Cat. Level twenty-seven Agility Attack System Battle Soul Master."

"Ning Rongrong. Weapon Soul, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Level twenty-six Support System Tool Soul Master."

"Shi Yang. Beast Martial Soul, Battle Wolf. Level twenty-nine Assault System Battle Soul Master!"

"Chu Zhao. Weapon Soul, Scythe. Level thirty Assault System Tool Soul Master."

"Ha! That's hilarious! Someone actually has a Scythe Martial Soul? Isn't that for cutting grass? You must be really good at mowing, huh?"

They announced their Martial Souls and strength in the order they had tested their Soul Power. The moment Chu Zhao finished speaking, Shi Yang burst into laughter.

And because of his interruption, everyone overlooked Ning Rongrong, who should have drawn the most attention.

"What's wrong with a Scythe?"

Xiao Wu glared at Shi Yang furiously.

"What's wrong with cutting grass?"

Tang San did not look angry, but several Hidden Weapons were already pinched between his fingers.

"Huh? Didn't you say it was hilarious enough to kill someone? Where's the dead person? Why don't I see one?"

Chu Zhao knew exactly how to be sarcastic, and her words were devastating.

Shi Yang's expression turned ugly after being shot down three times in a row. Before he could fly into a rage from embarrassment, Dai Mubai stepped in to smooth things over.

"Your Martial Soul distribution is actually pretty good. You have assault, agility attack, control, and support. Especially you, Ning Rongrong. Your Martial Soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda? Is it really the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda we're thinking of?"

"Mm."

Ning Rongrong nodded, seemingly a little shy, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Actually, I'm just an ordinary person. You don't have to look at me like that."

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was indeed an extremely famous and easily recognizable Martial Soul. Anyone who possessed it could practically become the center of attention.

"Ning Rongrong, you'll support us. Xiao Wu and Zhao Zhao, attack from the front. I'll do my best to control Teacher Zhao. Zhu Zhuqing, you can restrain him from the flank."

As a Control System Soul Master, Tang San immediately made the tactical arrangements.

He was just being a little petty and did not want to assign Shi Yang a role. He still remembered how Shi Yang had targeted Chu Zhao earlier!

"Third Brother, what about me?"

Seeing that Tang San had not assigned him anything, Shi Yang was not angry at all. Instead, he looked at Tang San expectantly.

Tang San choked on the overly familiar form of address and emphasized helplessly, "Don't call me that. We're not that close! You're also an Assault System Soul Master, so attack head-on too."

Being called that by someone unfamiliar just felt unpleasant.

"Third Brother, don't be so distant. We're all from the same academy, on the same team. There's nothing wrong with getting familiar with each other first!"

Shi Yang seemed unable to understand human speech. He stubbornly continued calling Tang San Third Brother, and a row of black lines instantly flashed across Tang San's face. He was utterly speechless.

Tang San gave up. He could call him whatever he wanted. Tang San did not want to waste any more breath correcting him.

But while Tang San was not good at openly falling out with people too early, Xiao Wu certainly was. She could not stand an unfamiliar person—one she even somewhat disliked—addressing Tang San so intimately.

"Little Yang, do you lack brothers and sisters? It's fine. Everyone sitting here can be your brothers and sisters."

Xiao Wu had learned that line from Chu Zhao. The hidden meaning was: you're just a little brother!

Shi Yang immediately understood Xiao Wu's implication, and his face turned red with anger.

Fortunately, the preparation time of one incense stick had ended. Otherwise, they might have started fighting each other first.

"Seven Treasures Emerge with Glazed Tile, the Seven Treasures have names: First, Power. Second, Speed."

As a support Soul Master, Ning Rongrong immediately released her Martial Soul skill at the start, moving with remarkable speed.

The moment Zhao Wuji saw a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master, he was first overjoyed, then immediately attacked Ning Rongrong without hesitation.

In a team battle, taking out the support first was practically universally acknowledged strategy.

"Not good!"

The moment Zhao Wuji moved, Tang San realized there was a flaw in his arrangement.

Of the three assault fighters, one should have stayed behind to protect Ning Rongrong.

He reacted instantly and wanted to use Blue Silver Grass to save her.

But before he could act, Ning Rongrong had already been grabbed around the waist by a black figure. With a light tap of her toes, the figure leaped gracefully into the air and landed in a safer area.

Without even needing to see clearly, Tang San knew it was Chu Zhao protecting Ning Rongrong. He no longer needed to worry about Ning Rongrong. What they needed to do now was take the initiative. Tang San called sharply to Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, go!"

Having been together for six years, they had an exceptional tacit understanding. A single signal was enough for them to understand each other's intentions.

Working together, Tang San used Blue Silver Grass to restrain Zhao Wuji while Xiao Wu used her Soft Technique against him.

Using softness to overcome hardness was originally an excellent tactic.

But the gap between Tang San and Xiao Wu and Zhao Wuji was simply too great. Blue Silver Grass could not restrain Zhao Wuji at all, and though Xiao Wu got close to him, she still failed to throw him down.

Relying on her Agility Attack System speed, Zhu Zhuqing silently swept behind Zhao Wuji. She used Martial Soul Possession and unleashed a Soul Skill, but she still failed to injure Zhao Wuji.

The reason was ultimately the overwhelming gap in strength.

Tang San quickly learned from the lesson and adapted the Tang Sect Ultimate Art, using Borrowing Force to Strike. Working seamlessly with Xiao Wu, he finally allowed her to use her Soft Technique.

But although she successfully threw Zhao Wuji down, she had not even injured a hair on him.

As dust rose everywhere, the others were still worried that Zhao Wuji might have been hurt, but Chu Zhao had already mercilessly unleashed her First Soul Skill.
