Chapter 148: Don't Blame Me for Being Ruthless

On the side, Dai Mubai also looked at the three girls with a strange expression, filled with uncertain amazement.

As an experienced person in dealing with women, he had some understanding of their current state.

Ever since that girl in green mentioned 'him,' they had become different.

Even though Zhu Zhuqing's expression didn't change much, her always ice-cold and bone-chilling gaze had softened.

'Did they all fall for the same man!?'

This couldn't be possible!

Dai Mubai quickly overturned his own speculation.

He was well aware of Zhu Zhuqing's background.

She should understand her fate, and she should be his, right?!

As he thought about it, his expression became somewhat ugly.

Who could 'he' be?!

Tang San's expression also became heavy, forming some speculations in his mind.

Over the years, Xiao Wu had always been in his line of sight, hardly ever leaving the academy.

He knew exactly who she had contact with.

The person who could provoke such a reaction from Xiao Wu...

Apart from the useless guy who followed Xiao Wu back then with his eyes covered, he couldn't think of anyone else!

Thinking to this point, a bitter smile appeared on his lips.

A hint of fierceness appeared in his eyes, and his fists clenched, making a cracking sound.

He didn't expect that after so many years of companionship, he couldn't compare to the person who left without a word, sending a sudden letter!?

If that useless guy dared to appear in front of him again, disturbing him and Xiao Wu...

Don't blame him for being ruthless!

The incense burning on the ground had already consumed half.

Dai Mubai was about to speak to interrupt the three girls' tug-of-war when Zhao Wuji also noticed the situation.

"Little monsters! What are you still doing? Half of the time has already passed."

A rough voice echoed in the open space.

Xiao Wu seemed as if she hadn't heard, holding Ning Rongrong's small hand with teary eyes.

"Hurry up, will you?"

"I say, can't you guys wait until after the test to talk about whatever it is?"

Dai Mubai frowned, his voice containing suppressed annoyance and anger.

"Yeah, Xiao Wu! Let's get enrolled successfully first!"

Tang San once again tried to persuade Xiao Wu.

This time, before Xiao Wu could erupt, even Ning Rongrong advised her to calm down.

Holding one in each hand, she brought her head close to Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing's heads, whispering something.

The expressions on the two girls' faces were different.

"Is what you said true?"

Xiao Wu's teardrops stopped, and her delicate face showed a mixture of doubt and panic.

"Of course, it's true!"

Ning Rongrong chuckled lightly, tilting her head slightly, looking in the direction of Heaven Dou City, as if expecting something.

"He personally promised me this!"

The purple glow in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes showed a faint radiance, and her heartbeat became much stronger.

'Finally, we're going to meet again.'

"So let's pass the assessment first!"

"Yeah!" Getting a confirmed answer, Xiao Wu nodded to her, wiping away some tears from her face.

However, her voice still had a hint of hoarseness.

"Xiao Wu, Beast Spirit Soft Bone Charm Rabbit, thirty-first level Assault-type Battle Spirit Elder!"

Tang San and Dai Mubai exchanged glances, curious about what the two of them had talked about.

Ning Rongrong also followed, looking at Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, holding her hands in front of her.

A seven-layered rainbow-colored small tower suddenly appeared in her palm, spinning briskly.

"Let me introduce myself! Ning Rongrong, Tool Spirit Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Pagoda, twenty-seventh level Auxiliary-type Tool Spirit Master!"

"Your spirit is actually the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Pagoda!?"

Tang San looked at Ning Rongrong in shock, not expecting that the girl in front of him would be from one of the Three Upper Sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

He still remembered Grandmaster's evaluation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Pagoda.

The most powerful auxiliary-type spirit on the entire continent!

"Yes, I'm still the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Pagoda Sect!"

Ning Rongrong didn't pretend to be modest, openly admitting her background and identity.

Looking at Xiao Wu's and Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, she already showed some pride and flaunting, like a swan tilting its snowy neck.

Unfortunately, Xiao Wu didn't understand the value of being the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Pagoda Sect.

Zhu Zhuqing, as always, had no expression, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.

Not seeing the astonishment in their eyes, Ning Rongrong felt a bit discouraged.

As for Tang San, who learned about her identity...

A few drops of cold sweat oozed out from his back, nearly killing her by mistake!

Dai Mubai, on the other hand, remained quite calm, taking a deep breath.

"I didn't expect you three to have different spirit systems. With this cooperation, it should be much simpler."

"Well, what Big Brother Dai said is correct. Since that's the case, let Ning Rongrong assist the three of us. I'll restrain Teacher Zhao's movements, Zhu Zhuqing will interfere and restrain, and Xiao Wu will be in charge of the main attack. How about that?"

Tang San remained silent for a moment before proposing his plan.

The three girls nodded indifferently; it wasn't a particularly clever plan.

The time was too short, and their cooperation couldn't be too good. Being able to perform their duties was already enough.

Compared to the original development, with the appearance of Ye Qiu, except for Tang San, the other three girls had all improved to varying degrees.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing broke through to Spirit Elder, and under Ye Qiu's supervision, Ning Rongrong had also advanced by one level compared to the original story.

"Xiao Wu, even though being in charge of the main attack is dangerous, I'll do my best to protect you!"

Tang San walked to Xiao Wu's side, his eyes full of concern.

"No need, just do your own thing. Zhu Zhuqing will protect me!"

Xiao Wu replied stiffly, rejecting his kindness.

"I say, have you guys discussed it yet!?"

Zhao Wuji stood up from his recliner, his loud voice echoing throughout the open space.

"Teacher Zhao, we're ready!"

Tang San glanced at Xiao Wu again, answering loudly.

"Then let's begin! Hehe."

Zhao Wuji laughed heartily, stretching his body, all his joints making cracking sounds, like setting off firecrackers.

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai stepped back a bit.

As a powerful attack-type soul master, he wouldn't miss the opportunity to learn. Moreover, Zhu Zhuqing, who had a close relationship with him, was also present. It was inevitable for her to get injured, and he had to seize the opportunity to make his presence felt.

Zhao Wuji once again put on a show, rubbing his fingers against incense, and the incense was inserted into the ground.

A dazzling light filled the entire venue, accompanied by the melodious sound of a pearl's radiance.

Ning Rongrong's figure turned, and the first and second soul rings under her feet almost lit up simultaneously.

" Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Pagoda, one for strength, two for speed!"

Six rays of light dispersed, falling on Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Tang San respectively, increasing their strength and speed by thirty percent.

"Such powerful auxiliary abilities!"

Feeling the significant lightness in his body and the increased strength, Tang San couldn't help but exclaim. Truly, she deserved to be the number one auxiliary-type soul master in the world.

The soul power he was currently displaying had already exceeded level thirty!

"Haha! I didn't expect that among the students recruited this time, there would be an owner of the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Pagoda. That guy Flender must be overjoyed!"

Just a moment ago, Zhao Wuji, who was still smiling, hadn't finished his sentence when a powerful soul power burst forth from him.

Raising his large fists, without attacking anyone, he smashed them straight into the ground beneath him.

"Not good!"

Tang San's heart skipped a beat.

The Grandmaster had said that in team battles, the first target to be dealt with should be the auxiliary-type soul master. This was especially true for a soul master with the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Pagoda!

Boom!

With a loud bang, the ground beneath Zhao Wuji collapsed, and the shockwave from the impact spread in all directions.

The contained force was definitely not to be underestimated.

"Move quickly!" Tang San shouted lowly, alerting Xiao Wu and the others while throwing out Blue Silver Grass that wrapped around Ning Rongrong's wrist, tossing her into the air.

Xiao Wu leaped high into the air and had already completed her Martial Soul Fusion.

A fluffy little tail appeared at her lower back, and her body became unusually flexible.

Twisting her body in the air, she approached the direction of the enemy.

With a twist of her waist, her slender jade foot turned into a long whip, kicking towards Zhao Wuji's neck.

Meow!

A cat's cry sounded, and Zhu Zhuqing also activated her Martial Soul Fusion. Her figure became more voluptuous, with a pair of cat ears on her head and a raised cat tail behind her.

Her eyes also changed color simultaneously, the left eye emerald green, the right eye clear blue; revealing no emotions.

"How is it possible! Why is her second ring purple!"

Dai Mubai was shocked; he had never heard of such a thing before. Even Ning Rongrong, who was on the field, was slightly surprised, pouting her small mouth in dissatisfaction. She complained that someone was really biased!

"Haha! Truly monsters, you've opened my eyes!"

Zhao Wuji put away his smiling face from a moment ago. His loud and rough laughter was enough to express his satisfaction with their performance.

As a nimble attack-type soul master, Zhu Zhuqing had perfect control over her body and exquisite timing.

Without paying attention to the eyes of others, she slightly lowered her upper body into a prostrate position. With a light leap, she evaded the surging shockwave and approached Zhao Wuji.

Leaving behind afterimages, she circled behind the enemy, attacking Zhao Wuji's back.

The move was sharp.

Facing a Soul Saint-level powerhouse, she showed no intention of probing.

The first soul ring under her feet had already lit up, and the cat claws in her hands shimmered with a faint light.

"First Spirit Skill, Hell Rush Stab!"

Following her, Xiao Wu's attack was almost about to arrive.

"First Spirit Skill, Entangle!"

Not far away, Tang San quickly cooperated with everyone.

Boom!

Dozens of arm-thick Blue Silver Grass shot out from the ground, showing only the attacking positions, enclosing Zhao Wuji tightly.

"Hehe, not bad! You guys are really good!"

Zhao Wuji didn't hesitate to praise them, expressing his satisfaction with their performance.

A sharp pain came from his back, and Xiao Wu's kicking attack was about to land.

Roar!

It seemed like a bear roar echoed around.

Zhao Wuji directly activated his Martial Soul Fusion, two yellow, two purple, and three black soul rings under his feet, exuding a strong oppressive force.

His body suddenly expanded, and the thick and heavy city wall that was originally over one meter six suddenly rose from the ground, exceeding two meters five in the blink of an eye.

Muscles swelled, and his body was covered with a layer of thick brown fur. The brown-yellow eyes emitted a fierce aura.

Especially his large hands became unusually broad and heavy.

Without any movement, just activating his Martial Soul Fusion broke through Tang San's Blue Silver Grass bind.

Every inch of the Blue Silver Grass broke, and Tang San's face turned pale.

Although he had freed himself from the restraint, Zhao Wuji still didn't make any evasive movements.

Boom!

Xiao Wu kicked upwards, and Zhao Wuji didn't even sway. Instead, she was shaken back by the rebound.

"Haha, little girl, not much strength!"

Zhao Wuji grinned, holding both hands in front of him, not forgetting to comment.

Tch!

"Your attack power is indeed good! Unfortunately, it's still not enough!"

Zhu Zhuqing's attack only pierced through his clothes and couldn't go any further.

"Hehe, now it's my turn!"

Zhao Wuji chuckled, and the first soul ring under his feet suddenly shone. A powerful yellow light burst forth from his body.

Within three meters around his body, a strong repulsive force rushed towards Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing.

First Spirit Skill, Motionless Bright King Body!

First Spirit Skill, Hell Rush Stab!

As she came, she left. By utilizing her own spirit ability to dramatically increase her speed, she quickly turned and distanced herself, evading the attack.

Although she was inevitably swept by his shockwave, she could still endure this level of attack.

"Hmph! Don't say I'm weak!"

Xiao Wu, who was slightly aggressive, activated her third soul ring. Her third soul ring flashed.

Third Spirit Skill, Instant Teleportation!

Her body disappeared quickly, avoiding Zhao Wuji's attack.

When she reappeared, she was already several meters above Zhao Wuji's head.

Tang San's eyes brightened, and the second soul ring under his feet lit up.

Second Soul Skill, Parasite!

Suddenly, many Blue Silver Grass sprouted from Zhao Wuji's body. Unfortunately, the sharp thorns couldn't break through his defense, and the poison on them had no effect.

Boom!

Xiao Wu rotated her body, and with a heavy downward kick, her heel landed on Zhao Wuji's scalp.

The head was always one of the weakest points in a person's defense.

The powerful force made Zhao Wuji lower his head involuntarily, feeling a bit dizzy.

"How about this! How's this force now!"

Xiao Wu was quite satisfied with the effect she had achieved.

Seizing this opportunity, she pressed on.

First Spirit Skill, Waist Bow!

With both feet, she clamped Zhao Wuji's head and was about to lift him from the ground.

Boom!

Zhao Wuji suddenly came to his senses. The Blue Silver Grass on his body shattered again.

Shaking his head, his two hands suddenly transformed into bear paws, each covered with a layer of golden light.

Second Spirit Skill, Vigorous Vajra Palm!

Boom!

Using a bit of force with his legs, his body sank, just about to lift Xiao Wu's ankle.

Unexpectedly, Tang San had already arrived in front of Zhao Wuji. He raised his fist to strike his chest.

"Hehe!"

Zhao Wuji chuckled and directly rushed towards Tang San. When his fists touched Tang San's, his expression turned strange.

There was absolutely no strength on Tang San's fist!?

Suddenly, Zhao Wuji felt a huge force attacking him again, and his two feet had already left the ground.

"Xiao Wu!" Tang San happily called out. This was just his clever move using the Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon technique.

In Tang San's voice, Zhao Wuji's body flew high into the air, and there was no place to borrow strength.

Xiao Wu continued to display her first soul skill, but she was somewhat unhappy in her heart.

She hated being ordered around by others!

Bang!

Zhao Wuji's body slammed into the ground, causing the entire area to shake.

In a humanoid pit, Zhao Wuji, covered in dirt, was trying to get up.

However, Tang San and Xiao Wu continued to attack him.

"You really made lose face! Motionless Bright King Body!"

Zhao Wuji roared angrily and once again used his first soul skill.

A burst of golden light flashed, accompanied by two muffled grunts, as Tang San and Xiao Wu were both forced back.

Tang San clutched his chest, blood already dripping from the corner of his mouth.

As for Xiao Wu, she secretly used her Remnant Chrysalis external soul bone With its defensive power to mitigate the force, resolving a significant portion of it, leaving her only slightly uncomfortable.

Before Xiao Wu could stand firm after being thrown back, Zhao Wuji, like a raging beast, shattered the ground with every step, leaped suddenly, and slammed down behind Xiao Wu, his bear paw ready to strike.

"Xiao Wu!" Tang San's exclamation rang out, and the Blue Silver Grass thrown out was too late.

"Third soul skill, Hell Shadow Decapitation!"

A cold voice, accompanied by a crescent-shaped attack, swept towards the back of Zhao Wuji's head.

This was Zhu Zhuqing's third soul skill, a powerful single-target strike.

If hit, it would inevitably result in bloodshed.

Zhao Wuji slapped away Xiao Wu's bear paw, turned his body, and dispersed the Shadowy Behead with a sweep of his bear paw.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Wu quickly distanced herself.

Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing boldly moved forward, her second soul ring shining with dazzling light.

"Second soul skill, Hundred Shadows massacre!"

A murderous phrase was shouted from her mouth, but it carried a hint of gentleness.

The second soul skill held a special meaning for her!

Hundred Shadows massacre: high toxicity, armor-piercing, increased damage, continuous strikes.

Just as Zhao Wuji shattered the Hell Shadow Decapitation, phantom images filled his field of vision.

Zhu Zhuqing targeted his knee joints with precise attacks.

In just a few breaths, the number of attacks far exceeded a hundred.

Clothes were torn, followed by skin, as the insidious poison continued to damage his body tissues.

Zhao Wuji felt a penetrating pain, like bone maggots, unable to be dispelled.

"Get lost!"

Zhao Wuji roared, and with a Motionless Bright King Body, he directly pushed Zhu Zhuqing away, leaving her face pale.

"Dai Mubai, you dare to keep smiling over there, tomorrow I'll drag you into actual combat training!"

Seeing Dai Mubai sneering in the distance, Zhao Wuji's anger flared even more.

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai quickly corrected his expression. He didn't want to be subjected to violent training by this blind bear.

At the same time, he looked at Zhu Zhuqing with surprise.

Her soul skill actually managed to break through Teacher Zhao's defense.

Putting himself in her shoes, Dai Mubai suddenly realized that he might not have much chance of winning if he were to face her!

"Hehe! I'll have to take it a bit more seriously now!"

Zhao Wuji scanned the surroundings, locking his eyes once again on Ning Rongrong, who was lingering on the edge of the battlefield.

"Fourth soul skill, Positional Tracking!"

The purple fourth ring, in front of everyone, suddenly left his body and headed towards Ning Rongrong.

"What is this thing!?" Ning Rongrong tried to dodge left and right but couldn't escape.

Noticing Zhao Wuji's sinister expression, she suddenly felt a shock.

"No! Quickly." Tang San hadn't finished uttering the words.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing's figures were already rushing to rescue Ning Rongrong.

Bang!

Zhao Wuji sneered, the ground beneath his feet shattered, and his burly body lifted off, soaring through the air.

In just an instant, he had already jumped in front of Ning Rongrong.

This was his fourth soul skill; once an opponent was locked on, he could instantly close the distance within a hundred meters using his jumping ability.

A golden bear paw was aimed directly at Ning Rongrong.

The gust of wind pushed her flowing hair, and her eyes widened as she faced the enlarging bear paw.
