"Fatty, I'm not blind... I saw it too."
Oscar nodded. "This is... this is fucking outrageous! A Soul Emperor's attack! And she didn't even activate her Martial Soul!"
He just raised his hand, and it seemed like...
"It seems to be emitting a faint glow?"
"And then nothing happened? What's this? That's outrageous!"
Ning Rongrong's beautiful face was also full of surprise and doubt.
Tang San's throat felt dry. He took a slow breath, trying to suppress the turmoil in his heart, but the scene he saw with the Purple Demon Eye kept replaying in his mind.
" Shrouding Method... The Other Shore Realm..."
"Ugh," Ma Hongjun quickly sat down on the ground, clutching his head.
"Oh no, oh no! Zhu Zhuyun is so amazing, Zhu Zhuqing can't be any less, right?"
How can we chase after them now?
Their three months are equivalent to how many years of hard training we've endured? This incredible encounter is just too unfair!
Oscar said with a bitter face, "Fatty, stop talking... I finally understand, comparisons are odious."
Tang San truly lives up to his reputation as a transmigrator; although his character is flawed, his temperament is definitely not bad.
After a brief silence, he spoke again.
"Fatty, don't be discouraged yet."
Tang San's gaze swept over his companions, and deep within his calm eyes burned an unprecedented flame.
" Zhu Zhuyun's ability to do this has already proven a path for us. A path..."
Perhaps a completely different, broader path.
Ning Rongrong immediately understood his meaning, her slender fingers unconsciously twisting together. "Third Brother, you mean..."
"We want to go too."
Tang San's voice was deep, yet every word was clear, "Since the Shrouding Method truly exists, and Zhu Zhuyun has become powerful enough to ignore attacks from Soul Emperor after only laying the foundation, then it is indeed a complete path."
"If Zhu Zhuqing can go, and Zhu Zhuyun can go, why can't we?"
"But... but how do we get there?" Ma Hongjun suddenly raised his head, his face showing both anxiety and confusion.
"Those two sisters were lucky to be chosen by the Heavenly Screen... Where can we find such a serendipitous encounter?"
"We can't just wander around aimlessly, can we?"
Oscar scratched his head, unusually refraining from making jokes, and instead pondered seriously:
"A clue... perhaps the clue lies with those sisters."
Did Zhu Zhuyun bring anything or any aura unique to that world with her this time? What if the selection of people by the Heavenly Screen is related to this...?
Tang San nodded. "Although the Heavenly Screen says it's random, what if we can create an opportunity..."
Ning Rongrong chimed in, her intelligence revealing Tang San's unspoken meaning, "But... will it really work?"
"Why not give it a try? It's too painful to watch someone who's not as good as you fall behind."
Oscar gave a wry smile, then clenched his fist. "The fat guy's feeling was right. Three months is equivalent to many years of hard training for us..."
This gap is beyond what hard work can bridge.
If that path truly exists, no matter how slim the chances, we must give it a try!
I don't want to be so unworthy of standing beside Rongrong... cough, or even beside my friends in the future.
Ma Hongjun sprang to his feet, his small eyes wide with excitement. His previous dejection vanished, replaced by a familiar, unbridled excitement.
"Damn it! So this is Shrouding the Heavens World '?"
Perhaps the phoenix over there is far more powerful than my Evil Fire Phoenix!
Third brother, what do you suggest we do?
Seeing his companions regain their fighting spirit, Tang San's initial heaviness due to the unknown was replaced by a strong desire to explore and become stronger.
The image of Zhu Zhuyun effortlessly blocking the Soul Emperor's attack was like opening a completely new door before his eyes, behind which lay a vast and boundless starry sky and entirely different laws of the Great Dao.
We need a plan.
Tang San said in a deep voice, his thoughts quickly becoming clear, "First, we'll split up and gather intelligence."
Rongrong, in a little while you will go and ask Zhu Zhuqing about all the details before and after she left, even the most inconspicuous anomalies.
Little Ao, Fatty, you two are responsible for keeping an eye out for any traces Zhu Zhuyun might have left behind in the academy and surrounding area.
"Remember," Tang San's gaze swept over everyone, "This matter will remain a secret for now."
It is not advisable to publicize this before a method is determined.
Zhu Zhuyun's change in strength is too astonishing; it has probably already attracted the attention of many important figures. We must stay ahead of them."
Ning Rongrong, Oscar, Ma Hongjun nodded in unison, their eyes gleaming with a longing for the unknown.
Sixth Soul Skill: Berserker Bear Earth Shake!
Just as the group was talking, Xiong Gang roared and his Sixth Soul Ring suddenly lit up!
Sixth Soul Skill: Berserker Bear Earth Shake!
He slammed his palms down on the ground, unleashing terrifying Soul Power that blasted into the earth. The ground trembled violently, and countless cracks spread out from him. Then, dozens of sharp stone spikes burst forth from the ground, piercing towards Zhu Zhuyun from all directions!
A cold glint appeared on Xiong Gang's face. His sixth Soul Skill had an extremely large range and combined control with lethality.
Even if the opponent is extremely agile, they will inevitably be injured under such a dense barrage of thrusts.
He wanted to force Zhu Zhuyun to reveal her true strength and see how long her strange methods could last.
However, Zhu Zhuyun remained completely calm in the face of this attack that should have put the Shrek Seven Devils on high alert.
Just as the very tip of the stone spike was about to touch the hem of her clothes...
Her figure blurred for a moment in an extremely eerie way.
Then, under Xiong Gang's wide-eyed gaze, those dozens of stone spikes, imbued with terrifying power, actually...
It passed right through Zhu Zhuyun's "standing" position without any obstruction, and intersected with hers!
It was as if she were just a ghostly phantom that didn't exist.
The stones collided with each other, producing a deafening cracking sound, sending earth and rocks flying and filling the air with dust.
But Zhu Zhuyun's figure remained quietly "standing" in the same spot, letting those real, violent attacks pierce through her body.
Not even a hem of her clothes or a strand of her hair was disturbed.
"How... how is this possible?!"
Xiong Gang's expression froze completely, turning into disbelief and horror.
His Soul Skill clearly locked onto the opponent, but the attack completely missed and hit thin air!
This illogical phenomenon exceeded all his understanding of the abilities of Soul Master.
As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, Zhu Zhuyun's figure became clear again.
She remained standing there, seemingly unmoved, the faint halo around her, like the gentle glow of moonlight, constantly swirling, making her appear even more mysterious and ethereal.
"This is..." Ma Hongjun asked, puzzled, "Fast movement?"
"Space..."
Tang San interrupted directly, activating his Purple Demon Eye to its maximum, staring intently at the extremely subtle spatial fluctuations around Zhu Zhuyun.
"It's the power of space!"
