Ning Rongrong was suited to initiating team fights

While they chatted here, the battle over on the field grew increasingly fierce.

"White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"

Dai Mubai's physique swelled instantly, his muscles knotted, and Soul Power clad his body like vajra armor, raising his defense to its peak.

The flight mushroom's time limit had expired. Unless he raised his defenses now, he would struggle to deal with Zhu Zhuqing's attacks from the shadows.

"Xiao Bai!"

Dai Mubai punched his fourth Soul Ring, and a giant white tiger leaped out of it, lunging fiercely at Zhu Zhuqing.

This was Dai Mubai's Contract Soul Beast, the Thunderclap White Tiger.

With their minds linked, she knew what to do.

"Xiao Ying."

The Shadow Night Lynx sprang out of Zhu Zhuqing's shadow and extended its claws, blocking the Thunderclap White Tiger.

"Roar!" Lightning erupted across the Thunderclap White Tiger's body, and a ring of thunderous force swept through the surroundings.

Seeing this, Dai Mubai grabbed Oscar and leaped aside.

Even he had to dodge when his own Soul Beast unleashed her ultimate.

The Shadow Night Lynx's pupils contracted slightly. It knew it could not take this head-on.

It flipped over and kicked its hind legs against the Thunderclap White Tiger, rebounding toward Zhu Zhuqing, then turned intangible along with her and vanished from the training ground.

The Thunderclap White Tiger slammed hard into the ground, making the entire training ground tremble slightly.

The white tiger looked around. Seeing no sign of Zhu Zhuqing, she turned her gaze toward Ning Rongrong at the edge of the training ground.

"Roar!"

The roar blasted Ning Rongrong in the face, blowing her long hair back.

"I'm not afraid of you. Little Deer, come out."

Ning Rongrong summoned her Starlight Spirit Deer as well.

She was no longer an Auxiliary System Soul Master who could be bullied at will.

The instant the Starlight Spirit Deer appeared, its crystal antlers shone with multicolored light.

The light became a multicolored glazed shield that settled over Ning Rongrong.

The Thunderclap White Tiger bared her teeth and crouched low, her leg muscles tensing.

"Whoosh!"

Lightning flashed, and the Thunderclap White Tiger was already before the multicolored shield, raising her forepaws to strike.

"Hum..."

The multicolored shield merely rippled, easily blocking the Thunderclap White Tiger's pounce.

Seeing that the Thunderclap White Tiger could not hurt her, Ning Rongrong poked both index fingers into her cheeks and gently pulled them outward.

She stretched her mouth wide, revealing her little canine teeth.

"Bleh, bleh, bleh! Hit me!"

At the sidelines, Chu Feng's mouth twitched as he watched Ning Rongrong.

"I feel like we could let Ning Rongrong initiate team fights from now on."

"She doesn't have any Control System Soul Skills. How would she initiate?" Ma Hongjun did not understand.

Chu Feng pointed at Ning Rongrong and said helplessly, "Look at her. Don't you want to hit her?"

Ma Hongjun took a look, then nodded in agreement.

Tang San's heart tightened. Ning Rongrong was trying to steal his right to initiate team fights.

"Your Contract Soul Beasts are all so useful," Xiao Wu said with some envy.

She was a Soul Beast herself, so she had no Contract Soul Ring and, therefore, no Soul Beast companion.

"Xiao Wu, I'll help you get one someday." Tang San walked over and patted Xiao Wu's head.

He thought Xiao Wu had missed out on the Contract Soul Rings Chu Feng gave them because she had been cultivating in the secret realm.

He silently resolved that he would definitely help Xiao Wu find a Contract Soul Ring someday.

Xiao Wu had to have whatever the others had, too.

Seeing Tang San's determined expression, Xiao Wu's heart fluttered slightly. She held his arm. "It's fine, Third Brother. I'm a little different from you all."

"How..." Just as Tang San was about to ask why, Oscar's shout came from the training ground.

"Xiao Bai, dodge!"

The shadow of the Thunderclap White Tiger, who had remained before the multicolored shield, began to writhe.

The Shadow Night Lynx and Zhu Zhuqing burst out, striking straight at the Thunderclap White Tiger's abdomen.

Fortunately, Oscar's warning allowed the Thunderclap White Tiger to kick off and leap aside.

Oscar held his chest, panting slightly. If the Cloud-Winged Phantom-Feathered Sparrow had not warned him just now, he would never have noticed the Shadow Night Lynx and Zhu Zhuqing's movements.

Realizing she had nearly been ambushed, the Thunderclap White Tiger instantly flared with anger.

"Roar!"

She spat out a blast of lightning.

The Shadow Night Lynx looked at Zhu Zhuqing behind it. Knowing it could not dodge, it could only charge forward, swinging sharp claws imbued with the power of shadow erosion.

"Boom!"

Lightning collided with sharp claws. The impact drove the Shadow Night Lynx back repeatedly, its four limbs even leaving shallow grooves in the bluestone ground.

It steadied itself, its dark green eyes fixed on the Thunderclap Abi Tiger, and lowered its body, preparing for its next attack.

On the other side, the Thunderclap White Tiger panted heavily. That move had consumed considerable Soul Power and stamina.

She shook her head, the lightning in her eyes undiminished, and likewise gathered her strength, waiting.

"Zhu Zhuqing, you can do it!" Ning Rongrong called to Zhu Zhuqing.

The Starlight Spirit Deer beside her cried out, and multicolored light fell over Zhu Zhuqing, forming a defensive shield.

Zhu Zhuqing turned sideways and nodded, then looked toward Dai Mubai in the distance.

"Hell Stab!"

While the two beasts fought fiercely, Zhu Zhuqing abruptly changed direction, becoming a black shadow that circled toward Dai Mubai's flank.

"Netherworld Hundred Claws!"

"White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"

Dai Mubai reacted in time.

Netherworld Hundred Claws hammered repeatedly against Dai Mubai under his white tiger protection, producing only showers of sparks, unable to break through his defenses.

Faced with such a swift, ferocious assault, Dai Mubai was caught in the dense barrage of Netherworld Hundred Claws and could not break free for the moment.

The explosive cracks of Soul Power rang out without end. For the time being, neither side could overpower the other.

Dai Mubai seized an opening and sidestepped in a flash, escaping Zhu Zhuqing's assault.

Zhu Zhuqing still wanted to keep closing in.

"Fourth Soul Skill: White Tiger Meteor Shower!"

Dai Mubai decided to unleash his ultimate. This was the new fourth Soul Skill he had gained after obtaining his Contract Soul Ring.

In an instant, even though it was already noon, a sky full of snow-white, tiger-shaped masses of light visibly plummeted, so densely packed that they completely sealed off every avenue Zhu Zhuqing had to dodge.

Zhu Zhuqing looked up at the falling masses of light, her pupils contracting slightly.

Before she could dodge, one struck her in the side.

Yet even now, there was not the slightest hint of retreat in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.

Dai Mubai was taking this seriously. How could she give up?

If even Dai Mubai, who had once retreated, could do this, then the hardships she had endured along the way would not allow her to shrink back either.

"Rongrong, full amplification!" Her cool voice carried a touch of hoarseness, yet rang with resolve.

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing injured, Ning Rongrong shuddered and gritted her teeth.

"Hum!"

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda rotated again, amplifying with all its might.

Since Zhu Zhuqing intended to go all-out on offense, she held nothing back either.

The Soul Bone on her forehead manifested, enhancing her further.

All for the attack!

Zhu Zhuqing's presence surged once again. She ignored the waves of light in the sky and the stabbing pain brought by strength that pushed her body somewhat beyond its limits.

Hell Stab, full speed!

Netherworld Hundred Claws, full power!

Netherworld Sky-Rending Slash!

She let the white tiger meteors crash into her, relying on that thin layer of flowing, multicolored light to withstand them.

Like a demon possessed, she bombarded Dai Mubai's actual body.

In this moment, she would vent all the grievances Dai Mubai had brought her over so many years.

Behind her, the Shadow Night Lynx sensed Zhu Zhuqing's resolute fighting spirit and likewise abandoned all defense, hurling itself desperately at the Thunderclap White Tiger.

It was no coward. It was a woman!

Thunderclap White Tiger: I'll avoid your edge again!
