Chapter 149: True Menace

Watching the bear paw approaching her, Ning Rongrong forced herself to calm down.

She kept retreating, creating distance between them.

At the same time, a fist-sized ball of soul power appeared in her hand.

It split into two, transforming into egg-sized orbs that spun wildly.

Even just looking at them in her palm gave a sense of uncontrollable escapism.

With a swing of her small hand, two rapidly rotating spiraling orbs passed by the bear paw, shooting towards Zhao Wuji's eyes.

"What is this thing?!"

The spiraling orbs kept enlarging in Zhao Wuji's eyes.

The egg-sized object, causing ripples in the air, made his eyelids twitch.

Not daring to be careless, Zhao Wuji had to halt his attack and use his bear paw to cover his own eyes.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu rushed over, shielding Ning Rongrong behind them.

Bang!

Two consecutive sounds, the spiraling orbs struck the back of his hand.

The fur on his hand contorted.

Feeling the pain, Zhao Wuji's brow furrowed.

In a moment of carelessness, the force generated by the high-speed rotation imprinted his bear paw forcefully on his own face.

Snap!

A crisp sound.

A bright red face with a fresh bloodstain on it.

"Very good, very good, all of you!"

Zhao Wuji looked at the crimson color in his hand, his pupils shook, shouting three "very good" in a row.

Though it was praise, it was filled with anger.

He never expected that as a Soul Saint, he, the supposedly

Motionless Bright King of the Underworld, would be made to bleed by a support-type!

How could he face this humiliation!

Dai Mubai, at the edge of the open space, tightly covered his mouth, not daring to burst into laughter.

He could feel that Teacher Zhao was angry!

If he were caught laughing at him, he might not just lose a layer of skin.

Tang San also stared at Ning Rongrong in astonishment.

According to the Master, support types of the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Pagoda Clan should have no attack power, right!?

Although Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu were curious, they did not hesitate.

After Ning Rongrong had moved back a bit, the two girls exchanged a glance, and taking advantage of Zhao Wuji not directly attacking them, they moved to strike.

Xiao Wu leaped high, her soft and resilient waist allowing her strength to be fully exerted.

Aiming directly at the vital point, her toe stabbed towards Zhao Wuji's eyes.

Zhu Zhuqing's second soul ring shimmered.

Strange purple light diffused, and her claws turned pitch-black, her speed significantly increasing.

The target was the knee that had been breached by her earlier.

Zhao Wuji's eyes became extremely sharp.

Standing in place, he surveyed the small monsters around him, his chest heaving.

He watched as Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing attacked his vital points.

Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was also rapidly emerging from under him.

Even Ning Rongrong, that little girl, dared to join in the fun with her small ball.

Since it's like this, then let's fight!

"First soul skill, Ming Wang Body!"

Zhao Wuji's furious shout made everyone's ears buzz.

He saw his first soul ring flash quickly under his feet, and then, a burst of golden light erupted from his robust body.

Within a three-meter radius, all attacks were repelled.

Tang San's Blue Silver Grass disintegrated.

Xiao Wu promptly used her third soul skill, Instant Teleportation, while Zhu Zhuqing was shaken back, her face pale.

The spiraling orbs left a football-sized pit in the ground.

"Come again!"

Zhao Wuji roared, his eyes full of rage, quickly searching for targets.

Once again, his gaze locked onto Ning Rongrong.

"Fourth soul skill, Positional Tracking!"

Before Zhao Wuji's voice could fall, Xiao Wu and the others immediately rushed to rescue Ning Rongrong.

"Hehe!"

With Zhao Wuji's sneer, Xiao Wu's angry voice also rang out.

"You're actually cheating!"

"Not good!" Tang San was also surprised.

Zhao Wuji's purple fourth ring unexpectedly targeted Zhu Zhuqing.

Bang!

With a jump, he had already arrived behind Zhu Zhuqing, enveloping her in a shadow.

Two bear paws were raised high.

If struck with full force, it would be like a meat bun smeared with tomato sauce.

Third soul skill, Instant Teleportation!

Xiao Wu's figure instantly appeared above Zhao Wuji, using the same move again, aiming her toe at his eyes.

Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was about to catch up in time.

"Hehe! Let me deal with all of you at once!"

"Third soul skill, Gravity Increase!"

Buzz!

Zhao Wuji's purple third soul ring unexpectedly sank into the ground, causing invisible ripples to spread.

The entire area was covered in a golden glow.

Zhu Zhuqing, who wanted to escape, saw her speed sharply decrease.

Tang San, who was about to rush over, and his summoned Blue Silver Grass were both restricted.

The most dangerous was Xiao Wu.

In mid-air, she suddenly felt her weight increase more than twice, her body involuntarily pressed down.

Even the operation of soul power seemed to slow down due to the gravitational impact.

"Second soul skill, Vigorous Vajra Palm!"

Seizing the opportunity, Zhao Wuji's bear paw struck towards Xiao Wu in front.

Bang!

"Xiao Wu!!"

A muffled sound.

Accompanied by Tang San's howl.

Tiny drops of blood scattered on the ground as Xiao Wu's body fell downwards.

Tang San's eyes immediately became different, filled with killing intent, cruelty!

Without any reservation, he used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, opening his hands to catch Xiao Wu in his arms.

Swish!

A black shadow flashed in mid-air, Zhu Zhuqing intercepted halfway, holding Xiao Wu in her arms.

"Xiao Wu, are you okay?"

Her eyes were filled with deep worry; she had promised Ye Qiu to protect her!

"I...I'm okay."

Xiao Wu's mouth still had traces of blood, her breath in disorder.

"Zhu Zhuqing, quickly get away!"

Not far away, Tang San shouted loudly.

Zhu Zhuqing's heart tightened, immediately intending to take Xiao Wu away from this place.

"Hehe, you better worry about yourself first!"

A body over two meters tall crashed in front of Zhu Zhuqing, bear paw extending towards the two of them.

Buzz! Zhu Zhuqing's first soul ring lit up under her feet, about to escape his attack range.

But, a thunderous sound like a bell rang in her ears.

"Fifth soul skill, Gravity Increase!"

With the emergence of the third black soul ring from Zhao Wuji, pressure difficult to resist suddenly came from all directions.

Both Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu's breath paused for a moment, their bodies frozen in place.

"No!"

Tang San's urgent shout, along with the fragile Blue Silver Grass, didn't stop Zhao Wuji's actions.

He was restrained in his attacks, having already held back a considerable amount of strength when he slapped down.

The bear paw descended, Zhu Zhuqing furrowed her brows, and the shadow spider spears behind her started to stir.

"Go!"

In her arms, Xiao Wu took the initiative, using a soul skill without forgetting to remind Zhu Zhuqing.

Second soul skill, Charm!

Eyes emitted a pink light, meeting Zhao Wuji's gaze.

In just a few breaths, Zhao Wuji immediately reacted, his eyes shining brightly. The pink light in Xiao Wu's eyes instantly dissipated, and she fell into a faint.

But Zhao Wuji's movements also slowed down significantly.

Seizing this opportunity, Zhu Zhuqing immediately took Xiao Wu away from the original spot.

"Xiao Wu!"

Tang San anxiously approached, looking at Xiao Wu in Zhu Zhuqing's arms with a bleeding nose and mouth, harboring deep resentment!

"Zhu Zhuqing, is Xiao Wu okay?" Ning Rongrong also quickly ran over from the edge, watching her with concern.

"I didn't expect her to have a confusion soul skill." Zhao Wuji moved his neck and patted his head.

"Don't worry, it's just backlash from mental power, she'll be fine after a nap! Put her aside for now!"

At this moment, the incense on the ground had already burned two-thirds.

Zhu Zhuqing silently watched Xiao Wu in her arms, Ye Qiu's instructions still vivid in her mind.

After a moment of silence, she was about to transfer Xiao Wu to Ning Rongrong.

"Ning Rongrong, take care of her for a while."

"Okay! Be careful yourself." Ning Rongrong held Xiao Wu and retreated.

Turning around, Zhu Zhuqing was about to release the Shadow Spider Spears.

But Tang San interrupted her with an opening remark.

"Leave it to me from now on!"

Now, with his head down, a gloomy look in his eyes, his voice carrying a chill.

"What do you mean!?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at him strangely.

"I mean, from now on, I'll handle it alone!"

Tang San's voice was cold.

At this moment, he felt a burning sensation on his face, feeling uncomfortable inside.

In the beginning, he clearly promised to protect Xiao Wu, but now, he could only watch her get hurt.

"Alright!"

After a moment of contemplation, Zhu Zhuqing nodded in agreement.

Tang San looked at Ning Rongrong, and all he saw was her nodding continuously, looking very approving.

In fact, Ning Rongrong just wanted to see him embarrassed, even Zhu Zhuqing had the same thought.

They were well aware that with their talents, the current test seemed unnecessary, and no academy would shut them out.

Therefore, this beating, he can bear it! Who made him their enemy!

"Teacher Zhao, I'll be your opponent from now on! What do you say?"

Tang San bowed respectfully, asking with a cold tone.

"I heard it all, since you're confident, come on! Let me see what gives you the courage to say that!"

Zhao Wuji sneered, scratching his head.

He thought it was a good thing for young people to be spirited, but excessive arrogance needed to be tempered!

"Be careful, Teacher Zhao!" As the words fell, Tang San suddenly raised his head, his eyes revealing a touch of purple light.

Purple Demon Eyes! Profound Jade Hand!

Without waiting for Zhao Wuji to react, Tang San was already unreserved.

His two hands turned into the color of profound jade, a sweep across the twenty-four bridges on the moonlit night around his waist, and then both hands quickly flicked.

Zhao Wuji looked at the ten streaks of light attacking him rapidly, and his heart trembled.

Such fast speed!

Ten Penetrating Bone Nails aimed at various vital points, neck, ears, eyes, lower body... Not a single spot repeated.

Having witnessed Ning Rongrong's lesson, Zhao Wuji dared not underestimate the things thrown by these little monsters.

Beast Martial Soul, Great Vigorous Vajra Bear, had extremely strong defense, almost no weak points, but on the flip side, its speed was not fast.

Zhao Wuji was also used to confrontation and head-on collisions with opponents; he lacked talent in dodging.

Moreover, having been injured in the knee by Zhu Zhuqing, his speed was further reduced.

He took a deep breath.

Qi sank to the dantian, Zhao Wuji fully activated his first soul skill, a faint golden light covering his body.

Ding ding ding!

"So much strength!" Zhao Wuji frowned, feeling pain from Tang San's attacks.

He was also secretly glad that he didn't underestimate him; otherwise, he would have embarrassed himself.

Without being discouraged by the first failure, Tang San continued.

After so many years, the hidden weapons he crafted were enough to feed Zhao Wuji.

Leaf-shaped knives, flying locust stones, money darts, penetrating needles... All kinds of hidden weapons were thrown at Zhao Wuji as if they were free.

Watching this scene, Dai Mubai, who was far away, couldn't help but swallow saliva.

He was fortunate that Tang San didn't make such a move during their previous conflicts; otherwise, he would have been turned into a hedgehog!

At the same time, he warned himself not to have any bad thoughts about that girl named Xiao Wu.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were watching coldly, focusing their energy on taking care of Xiao Wu.

"Kid, you're like a hedgehog! Third soul skill, Gravity Increase!"

As Zhao Wuji used his soul skill, an invisible gravitational field covered the area around him.

The thrown hidden weapons were affected, their speed greatly reduced, and their power significantly diminished.

To maintain their original power, Tang San had to exert more force and soul power to throw them.

"Kid, let's see how long you can keep this up!"

Zhao Wuji snorted, maintaining his immovable king body, pouncing towards Tang San.

"Second soul skill, Parasitism!"

Tang San's second soul skill directly grew Blue Silver Grass from his body, bypassing the protective aura of his immovable king body.

Unfortunately, this only slowed down Zhao Wuji's approach.

However, Tang San, stepping on Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and cooperating with the restraint of Blue Silver Grass, temporarily made Zhao Wuji helpless.

"Fourth and fifth soul skills, Positional Tracking! Gravity Increase!"

Motionless Bright King Body to defend against throwing-type hidden weapons.

Gravity increase to restrict Tang San's movements, and Positional Tracking to quickly close the distance.

A combination of techniques made Tang San feel sore and painful all over from the pressure of gravity.

Zhao Wuji had already raised the Great Vigorous Vajra Palm towards him.

"Hehe." Tang San sneered, his expertise was in mechanical-type hidden weapons.

His mechanical hidden weapons could be triggered by muscle movements alone.

Even if he couldn't move now, the hidden weapons hidden in his chest were still triggered.

Sixty-four steel needles shot towards Zhao Wuji's chest, accompanied by a burst of tea-scented blue smoke.

"Hiss, poisonous!"

Zhao Wuji inhaled a bit of the scent, immediately holding his breath, suppressing the toxins in his body with soul power.

A sharp stabbing pain came from his chest!

Shadowed Arrow, one of the few hidden weapons that Tang San could use to penetrate the protective spirit qi.

The defense of Motionless Bright King Body was too strong; the sixty steel needles only managed to pierce Zhao Wuji's skin.

"Not bad, kid!" Zhao Wuji's face turned even darker. These little monsters were indeed extraordinary!

He reached out for him again.

Tang San just slightly lowered his head, and an arrow shot out from the collar behind him, directly aiming at Zhao Wuji's face.

Close-range Tense Back Flower Adornment Crossbow!

Zhao Wuji caught the crossbow arrow with his teeth, and some green liquid suddenly flowed from the arrowhead into his mouth, making his tongue slightly numb.

"Ptui!" He immediately spat out the crossbow arrow and the remaining poison.

Zhao Wuji looked at the long incense on the ground, which was about to burn out.

Nothing could wash away the shame better than his victory!

Ignoring everything, Zhao Wuji unleashed his true power.

Motionless Bright King Body frantically operated, and the gravity increase continuously oppressed Tang San.

"Not good!" Tang San exclaimed.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Wuji directly pressed forward with his burly body, sending Tang San flying far away.

Spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Without the Dragon Whisker Needle, Tang San had nothing to completely break through Zhao Wuji's defense.

At this moment, he could only become a sandbag for Zhao Wuji to rebuild his dignity!

Silent Sleeve Arrows, Zhuge Crossbow, and various other things – Tang San exhausted all his options to deal with Zhao Wuji's charge.

While Zhao Wuji was dominating Tang San, Ning Rongrong was taking out some herbs and pills from her soul device, feeding them to Xiao Wu.

When the incense burned out completely.

A figure, covered in dirt and looking beaten up, fell to the ground.

It was Tang San.

In the final moment, he was sent flying by Zhao Wuji's Great Vigorous Vajra Palm.

Upon landing, he had already fainted.

Dai Mubai quickly walked over and checked him, fortunately, there were only minor injuries.

"Teacher Zhao, you're too much."

"Hehe. I just wanted to sharpen the edge of this true prick," Zhao Wuji said, releasing his Martial Soul fusion state. His mouth was swollen, and he felt a bit sore and numb all over his body.

"Oscar!"

A voice, mixed with his profound soul power, spread throughout the entire academy.

"Coming!" In no time, a soft and fluffy figure responded.

A big stubble face, a pair of peach blossom eyes with a bit of obscenity, trotted over.

"Teacher Zhao! Are you looking for me? Huh? Why are you so miserable?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask! Quickly make some sausages for me!"

Limping, Zhao Wuji walked to his side, speaking with a bit of a lisp.

"Oh, okay!" Oscar didn't say anything else and immediately began chanting his soul skills.

"I have a small sausage!"

"I have a big sausage!"

A small and a large meat sausage appeared in his hands, which he then handed to Zhao Wuji.

"Oscar, make one for Tang San too!"

"Sure thing, Boss Dai! By the way, does the little sister need one?"

Oscar's gaze was suddenly attracted by Ning Rongrong, or rather, by Ning Rongrong holding Xiao Wu.

"If you want to die, I can help you!"

A chill appeared in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, causing Oscar to shiver involuntarily.

"Haha. Don't bother, dear junior."

"Alright! You've passed the test! Xiao Ao, Mubai, take them to the dormitory. Don't touch those things on the ground; they are poisonous. Let this little hedgehog wake up and clean up by himself!"

After instructing them, Zhao Wuji slowly left.

"Xiao Ao, continue!"

"Dai Boss, this is unfair. I should be the one to guide the junior sister."

"Huh?"

When Oscar's words caught Dai Mubai's attention, and he clenched his fists, warning him, Oscar swallowed his words.

"Hehe. It doesn't matter who leads; it's the same!" Oscar chuckled twice and quickly carried Tang San to his dormitory.

Dai Mubai then led Zhu Zhuqing and others to the female dormitory.

On the way, it was Dai Mubai who did all the talking, but he received no response.

Their faces were still grim.

...

In the evening, in the dormitory.

Shrek's dormitory was far from luxurious, but it could be said to have complete basic facilities.

At this moment, Xiao Wu was still lying on the bed in a deep sleep, with Ning Rongrong taking care of her beside her.

Zhu Zhuqing had dismantled the bed in her dormitory and planned to live with Ning Rongrong and the others.

"Zhuqing, Xiao Wu is awake!"

Still tidying up her things, Zhu Zhuqing heard Ning Rongrong's call and immediately walked over.
