Hearing this sentence, everyone nodded and followed...
Surviving under the hands of this Elder for ten minutes should be no problem for them!
They still had that confidence!
After following the person in front to a spacious area, the Elder slowly turned around, fixing his profound gaze on Tang Wulin and the others...
He said, "You have three minutes to prepare, then the assessment begins!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned...
Xie Xie scratched his head and said, "Um, Elder, could there be some mistake? Isn't it supposed to be one-on-one?"
The rest nodded, all equally perplexed...
The Elder laughed heartily as he stroked his beard, "One-on-one? You kids really don't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is!"
He, being on the verge of reaching the Titled Douluo level, would not allow anyone to pass the assessment if it were one-on-one!
As these words were spoken, the faces of the crowd turned solemn...
Tang Wulin pondered, "This Elder must have sensed our soul power ranks, but still looks so unperturbed; he must be at least stronger than a Soul Douluo!"
Xie Xie, for once, nodded seriously, "Mhm, we cannot take this lightly!"
Uncertainty flashed across Xu Lizhi's face, "But without Gu Yue here, can we really hold on for ten minutes in front of this Elder just by ourselves?"
Gu Yue had always been the core of the team; now, without her, they might not be able to exhibit their true team strength!
Determination filled Wu Siduo's eyes as she said eagerly, "Whether we can hold him off or not, we have to try! Take it as a real combat drill."
An opportunity to face a practicioner stronger than a Soul Douluo in combat was naturally not to be missed...
Hearing this, Tang Wulin nodded, "Alright, but since Gu Yue isn't here, everyone should follow Xiao Yan's command for now!"
They then began to discuss their strategy...
After they discussed for a while, the Tangmen Elder urged, "Are you done discussing? I won't hold back during the duel, but I also won't use any soul skills above the seventh soul skill."
If he had to use his Martial Soul True Body against kids whose soul power ranks had not even reached Soul Emperor, there would be no need for him to continue as an Elder!
The group snapped back to reality and stated solemnly, "Elder, we've discussed our strategy; let's begin!"
The Tangmen Elder stepped back, "Alright then... begin!"
His foot stamped once again, and space around them began to tremble, as intense and thick soul power burst forth from the Elder...
Slowly, eight soul rings rose from below his feet...
Yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, black, black, black!
Especially the terrifying pressure that swept over, made Tang Wulin and the others feel their hearts sink...
Tang Wulin narrowed his eyes, "He hasn't summoned his Martial Soul. Could it be... this Elder possesses a self martial soul!"
Xie Xie clenched his teeth, "Aren't Soul Masters with self martial souls supposed to be in the Body Sect? Why does Tangmen also have one, and an Elder-level powerhouse at that!"
Ye Xinglan calmly said, "It's simple. The Body Sect can't possibly recruit everyone with a self martial soul; some are bound to slip through the cracks!"
Xu Xiaoyan reminded everyone, "Pay attention, the Elder's self martial soul seems to be his legs. Try to attack from other parts if possible!"
Seeing their quick deduction, the Tangmen Elder thought to himself, "They've figured out my self martial soul so quickly. These kids are really something else,"
After a pause, he spoke out, "Be careful now!"
Almost in the instant his words fell, the Elder thrust his legs forward, and like a specter, he charged directly at Xu Xiaoyan...
Eliminating the Soul Master responsible for commanding the opposing team first was a tactic known to all Soul Masters!
Tang Wulin, who noticed him first, immediately activated the Golden Dragon King's bloodline and charged forward, shouting, "Not so fast!"
"Bang!"
When the Elder's right leg collided with Tang Wulin's legs, an astonishing ripple of Soul Power erupted…
At first glance, both sides seemed evenly matched, neither able to overcome the other!
Spurred by interest, the Tang Sect Elder exclaimed in surprise, "Good lad, although I only used a third of my strength, you were able to perfectly resist it."
Following that, he couldn't help but increase the force in his foot…
Tang Wulin instantly felt the pressure increase and began to retreat…
From behind, Xu Xiaoyan shouted, "First Soul Skill, Star Chain Lock!"
With a burst of light, a silver-glowing chain shot out from her magic wand, slyly coiling towards the Tang Sect Elder…
Noticing this, he spoke with disdain, "A space attribute soul skill? Naive!"
To use a binding soul skill, one should consider the power gap between both parties!
But the next second, he was stunned, because the moment the chains wrapped around his limbs, he found himself unable to exert any force, even his internal Soul Power was cut off…
"Second Soul Skill, Hundred Hell Claws!"
With Wu Siduo's voice rising, she transformed into a purple stream of light without hesitation and frantically slashed with her sharp claws at the restrained Tang Sect Elder!
What happened next made her decisively choose to retreat…
Her Hundred Hell Claws, despite fully striking, didn't even leave a scratch!
At that moment, the Tang Sect Elder also regained his mobility!
Xie Xie's eyes brightened, and he shouted, "We mustn't let him recover! Second Soul Skill, Twin Dragon Storm!"
Suddenly, a massive golden storm erupted outwards from him, ravaging in all directions…
But the powerful storm, once encountering the Tang Sect Elder, was like a light breeze and didn't cause the Elder to move…
The Tang Sect Elder snapped out of it and with a fierce kick, sent Tang Wulin flying...
He then spoke, "Your teamwork is quite impressive, but don't forget, a self Martial Soul is not just about the strength of the body part it associates with!"
His third soul ring lit up beneath his feet!
Third Soul Skill, Firmament Leg!
To the naked eye, a faint layer of yellow Gang Qi covered his legs, perfectly protecting them…
He then instantly appeared in front of Xu Xiaoyan and viciously kicked towards her abdomen…
With no way to evade, Xu Xiaoyan gritted her teeth and said, "Fourth Soul Skill, Star Chain!"
...
"Bang!!"
The full brunt of the hit sent Xu Xiaoyan rolling on the ground several times…
Then she got up shaking, her face looking ghastly as she said, "Such a terrifying attack…"
This scene also made the Tang Sect Elder doubt his own strength, "Huh? As a control-class Soul Master, she didn't lose mobility?"
But when he saw the others holding their abdomens, he suddenly understood everything…
A deeper interest appeared on his face, "Interesting, to be able to share damage. With such a talent, you can certainly receive substantial cultivation from the Tang Sect!"
