Ning Rongrong's legs trembled as she stared at the humanoid dragon beast before her.
"W-what... what kind of monster is this?"
Even her voice shook.
Other people only manifested a few traits when their martial souls possessed them.
How had this guy outright transformed into a soul beast?!
"Meooow!!!"
Zhu Zhuqing instinctively activated Martial Soul Possession as well, transforming straight into her catgirl form.
Her eyes fixed warily on the humanoid dragon beast before her.
Every so often, she let out a meow, so frightened that she hissed warnings at him!
Yet her body betrayed her, constantly backing away.
Blue silver grass coiled around Tang San's right hand.
His left hand rested at his waist, ready to launch hidden weapons at any moment.
"Fifth Soul Skill-Blazing Sun Thousandfold Annihilation!!"
With a furious roar, Lin Mo's fifth Soul Ring instantly lit up!
Countless rays of crimson-gold light gathered on his dragon wings!
The next second...
Boom!!
A thunderous blast rang out.
Countless crimson-gold beams shot forth in an instant!
They blotted out the sky and sun, raining down like a meteor shower!
"How is that a single Soul Skill?! That's clearly countless attacks!!"
At the sight of such a spectacular display, Ning Rongrong nearly burst into tears.
Forcing down her fear, she barely managed to summon the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Then she enhanced her two teammates' agility.
Zhu Zhuqing and Tang San instantly received a boost of roughly thirty percent.
After casting her Soul Skill, she hurriedly hid in a corner.
Boom!
Boom, boom!!
Explosion after explosion rang out.
Countless Lasers poured down!
Most struck toward Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing's positions.
Of course, a small portion also landed near Ning Rongrong.
They frightened the little girl out of her wits, sending her scurrying everywhere to dodge the attacks.
"First Soul Skill-Hell Stab!!"
Her Soul Ring instantly lit up, and Zhu Zhuqing spun swiftly in midair.
Her speed doubled again!
She slipped through the gap between two beams in an instant!
Yet she did not stop, continuing to charge forward.
Her target was the humanoid dragon beast not far away!
"Heh~ This little girl has quite some nerve."
Watching the girl charge toward him, Lin Mo's lips curved slightly upward.
He curled a finger, and a beam instantly changed direction.
It blasted straight toward the girl!
"Second Soul Skill-Netherworld Hundred Claws!!"
The sudden attack made Zhu Zhuqing's pupils contract sharply.
At such close range, she no longer had time to dodge!
With no other choice, she could only take it head-on!
Claw shadows flashed as she unleashed over a hundred claw strikes in succession!
Boom!!
An explosion rang out, and the girl was sent flying backward.
Only after crashing into a nearby tree did she slowly slide to the ground.
"Cough, cough, cough~ J-just one beam was that powerful?"
Staring at her shattered leather bracers, Zhu Zhuqing coughed heavily several times and murmured weakly.
She wanted to climb back up and keep fighting, only to discover that she could no longer muster any strength.
Fortunately, it had only been one beam; otherwise, even if she survived, she would have been gravely injured.
With one person eliminated, Lin Mo surveyed the battlefield again.
He discovered that Ning Rongrong had already fallen to the ground at some point.
"Two fragile little girls. Tang San can take a beating better."
Lin Mo shook his head and locked onto Tang San nearby.
His condition was hardly promising either, his body covered in wounds.
Blue silver grass vines lay scattered across the ground as well.
He had even secretly used some hidden weapons.
"Still hanging on? Let me finish this for you!"
Lin Mo sneered, raised his hand toward Tang San, and clenched it!
Instantly, all the beams converged.
They formed a pillar of light that blasted straight toward him!
"Not good! Clear Sky Hammer!!"
Seeing the enormous pillar of light coming at him, Tang San's expression changed drastically.
Without time to think, he condensed a palm-sized Clear Sky Hammer in his left hand and secretly held it in front of himself!
Boom!
An explosion rang out!
Crack! Crack!!
Two cracking sounds accompanied it simultaneously.
One was exceptionally crisp, while the other was somewhat muffled.
Only then was Tang San hurled dozens of meters away!
He finally stopped after smashing through several large trees.
"Hm? Were those two Clear Sky Hammers?"
His crimson-gold eyes narrowing, Lin Mo showed a trace of surprise.
There had not been just one Clear Sky Hammer shielding Tang San!
There had been two palm-sized Clear Sky Hammers!
One had nearly shattered.
The other had only developed a few cracks.
In the end, they had blocked most of the damage for Tang San.
The young man scanned his surroundings and soon spotted a suspicious figure.
He was hiding behind a nearby tree, wearing a black cloak.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Mo instantly activated the Eye of Myriad Phenomena's Innate Soul Skill!
[Target: Tang Hao] [Ring Detonation Secret Art: Obtain the Clear Sky Sect's ultimate Ring Detonation art!!] [Clear Sky Nine Absolutes: Obtain the Clear Sky Hammer's nine force-exertion techniques!] [Ninth Soul Ring: Obtain the Soul Ring of the 137,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor!!]
Almost at that same moment, the figure vanished.
"Heh~ Finally caught you."
Looking at the information before him, Lin Mo could not keep the corners of his mouth from rising.
This second discovery of Tang Hao's whereabouts no longer filled him with worry and tension.
Instead, he was utterly thrilled and excited!
After all, the man had quite a few good things on him!
Among them were the three treasures before him that he could copy.
"Ring Detonation Secret Art? Nice! Very nice!!"
When he saw the first entry, Lin Mo's eyes shone, and wild delight surged through his heart.
This was good stuff!
An essential secret art for murder, arson, fights, and brawls!
With the Ring Detonation Secret Art in hand, an instant power surge was no longer a dream!
Clear Sky Nine Absolutes?
Forget it.
This was not particularly useful to him.
"Hm? Ah Yin's Soul Ring was actually 137,000 years old?"
When he saw the final option, Lin Mo froze briefly.
Was Ah Yin really that old?
No, perhaps after she took human form...
She cultivated for another stretch of time, increasing her cultivation.
After all, if he remembered correctly, her soul power level had already been quite high when she sacrificed herself.
Hehe~ Another day of raking in profits. Feels great~
Secretly delighted, Lin Mo directly copied the Ring Detonation Secret Art and the ninth Soul Ring.
With this haul, his strength would probably improve considerably again.
Next, he would take the initiative to make trouble for Tang Hao.
The thought of using the Ring Detonation Secret Art to disgust him then was thrilling!
"T-Teacher Lin Mo, we passed the assessment, right?!"
Just as Lin Mo was immersed in his joy, Ning Rongrong's voice suddenly reached him.
She approached while supporting Zhu Zhuqing, her face full of smug satisfaction.
"Hm? Weren't you eliminated? How did you get up on your own?"
Lin Mo was taken aback as well. He had only been distracted for a moment.
How did this little girl look as though nothing had happened?
"Mo~ She was playing dead to trick you just now!!"
Xiao Wu also walked over from the side and explained.
Lin Mo had not noticed Ning Rongrong, but as a bystander, Xiao Wu had seen everything perfectly clearly!
The girl had taken advantage of being a support-type Soul Master with an extremely low presence.
While Lin Mo was dealing with Zhu Zhuqing, she had simply dropped to the ground and played dead!
Only after seeing that all the beams had finished firing did she leisurely climb back up.
"You... you crafty little girl."
After hearing what had happened, Lin Mo smiled and shook his head.
He had been a little careless himself.
He had actually neglected to sweep the area with his spiritual power.
But who would have thought this girl was so calculating?
"Teacher Lin! You won't go back on your word, will you? I held out until the very end~!"
Ning Rongrong blinked and spoke smugly.
Her little chin was raised high, just like a proud little swan.
"You win. You passed this time."
Helpless, Lin Mo had no choice but to concede.
After all, he could not break his word, could he?
Still, seeing her proud expression...
He felt that he would have to put her through some proper training in the future!
