Chapter 85: The Power of Hidden Weapons, Blue Sky Wood Dragon! (Double Chapter))

Without his soul power shield, Zhao Wuji might have actually taken some damage. He didn't realize that Xiao Wu's kick was now greatly enhanced thanks to her Wind God Legs, making her attacks much stronger than before.

As Xiao Wu finished her seventh kick, Su Ming called out, "Tang San, fall back!"

Then, Su Ming sent a voice transmission to Xiao Wu, saying, "Xiao Wu, aim for his weak spot!"

At first, Xiao Wu was confused as she saw both Su Ming and Tang San withdraw their control. Then it hit her—Su Ming was being mischievous again.

As Xiao Wu completed her seventh kick, Zhao Wuji was already dropping toward the ground, fully exposing his lower body. She glanced at his vulnerable area and chuckled slyly, thinking, Sorry, Teacher Zhao. But since your defense is so tough, I'll just have to go for your weakest point!

In an instant, Xiao Wu teleported a bit above Zhao Wuji, preparing a powerful downward strike. This would be her strongest attack to date; she wasn't going to believe she couldn't break through his defenses.

Seeing her aim for his lower body, Zhao Wuji roared in anger, "Little girl, you're trying to make me a eunuch!"

Xiao Wu cheekily stuck out her tongue, saying, "Well, that's your softest spot, Teacher Zhao!"

"Nonsense! I'm tough all over!" he shouted, though inwardly he was nervous. One slip-up could affect his life forever.

"First Soul Skill, Unmovable King Body!"

With a flash of golden light enveloping him, Zhao Wuji's defenses rebounded Xiao Wu's attack, sending her flying backward. He had regained his footing, landing steadily on the ground, while Xiao Wu, forced back, quickly teleported back to her team with a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

At that moment, Zhao Wuji's muscles swelled as seven soul rings—two yellow, three purple, and two black—rose around him, boosting his aura to a whole new level.

"Little girl, I admit that's my weakest spot in terms of defense. But any man would have the same issue. I'm impressed with your tactics, but now…I'm angry!"

Seeing that Zhao Wuji was getting serious, Su Ming's expression shifted slightly. If he allowed Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing to continue fighting, they might get hurt. It was time for Tang San to join the fray.

Su Ming shouted, "Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, fall back! You two aren't suited to fighting an all-out Zhao Wuji. Come back and protect Ning Rongrong. Tang San and I will handle him."

Xiao Wu, though reluctant, nodded and joined Zhu Zhuqing beside Ning Rongrong, who glanced at Su Ming with curiosity.

The three girls, along with the main female characters watching the battle unfold, were all intrigued. How was Su Ming planning to defeat Zhao Wuji? Regular methods wouldn't work against him!

"Seven Treasures, Third Technique: Soul!"

Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda glowed, restoring soul power to Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing.

Then she turned to Su Ming. "Do you need me to boost your soul power as well?"

Su Ming pondered and asked, "Can you handle assisting all four of us at once with your current strength?"

Ning Rongrong paused, understanding his concern, then smiled. "Don't worry, I'm stronger than I look!"

Su Ming nodded, satisfied. A glance at the incense on the ground revealed only a third had burned away.

Exchanging a look with Tang San, they both nodded. Tang San would handle the primary attack using his hidden weapons, while Su Ming would provide support.

Zhao Wuji was surprised as he saw Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing retreat, while Su Ming stepped forward to the front. "What's your plan? Don't tell me you two think you can hold off my attacks alone?"

Su Ming responded with a mysterious smile. "Be patient, Teacher Zhao. You'll see soon enough."

Zhao Wuji was puzzled. What kind of soul master was Su Ming, exactly? He couldn't figure him out.

At that moment, Tang San's hands turned white, and his eyes shifted to a piercing purple hue. He was about to go all out!

Although Zhao Wuji could sense the change in Tang San, his power didn't seem noticeably enhanced, though he felt a faint sense of danger.

He shook his head, dismissing the feeling. What could a third-rank kid do to him? Did they have some kind of secret weapon?

"Teacher Zhao, watch out!" Tang San warned solemnly. His hands, which had been hanging by his waist, lifted gracefully.

Shhh-shhh-shhh-shhh!

Ten flashes of cold light shot from Tang San's fingers, targeting Zhao Wuji's eyes, shoulders, throat, heart, knees, lower body, and abdomen with deadly precision—all vital points!

"Su Ming!"

Hearing Tang San's call, Su Ming understood his intent. He stomped his right foot, activating his first and fourth soul rings.

Instantly, three wooden walls appeared around Zhao Wuji, partially encircling him.

"Wood Release, Piercing Thorn Technique!"

From the wooden walls, countless sharp thorns shot towards Zhao Wuji from three directions.

While Su Ming's thorns couldn't match Tang San's precision, they compensated with sheer volume!

Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong's third soul skill was perfectly timed, replenishing Su Ming's soul power. Feeling his energy restored, Su Ming decided to go all out, doubling the number of thorns on the wooden walls!

Tang San:...

Xiao Wu cheered excitedly, "Go, Brother! Make Teacher Zhao look like a porcupine!"

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing also looked at Su Ming with surprise and admiration—he was incredible!

Seeing himself surrounded, Zhao Wuji couldn't help but mutter in disbelief, "These little brats have no respect for martial ethics. Anyone else in my place would've been crushed by now."

Seeing Su Ming's impressive performance, Tang San decided to turn up the heat. "Prepare the hidden arrows! Let's all aim at his weakest spot!"

Hearing this, the others immediately understood which "weak spot" Tang San meant. They all raised their right hands and directed a focused attack toward Zhao Wuji's most vulnerable area!

Watching this group of little monsters coordinate such a low blow, Zhao Wuji mentally cursed, "These kids! They really want to ruin my future happiness!" In frustration, a thousand imaginary horses stampeded through his mind.

Shocked, he wondered, What is that little gadget they've strapped to their wrists?

Zhao Wuji quickly shielded his vulnerable area with his right hand, while using his left to deflect the barrage from all directions. "First Spirit Skill—Immovable King's Body!" he shouted, unleashing his full power as a solid soul shield encased him.

Su Ming shouted, "Now, Tang San! Focus and break through!"

Tang San nodded. While Su Ming's wooden spikes were sharp, they weren't as concentrated in force as his own attacks.

Swish, swish, swish!

Using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Tang San moved swiftly around Zhao Wuji, probing different areas, searching for the weakest point.

Spotting an opening where Zhao Wuji's defenses were thinnest after his recent attack, Tang San slipped behind him and unleashed the remaining hidden weapons in his soul tool in quick succession.

"Urgh!" Zhao Wuji grunted in frustration, growling, "You little rascals! Don't push your luck!"

The instant his rear defense broke, the gaps in his defenses spread to other areas. Tang San, catching this with his Purple Demon Eyes, quickly drew a few Dragon Beard Needles and fired them in.

"Agh!"

"You little brat! This is too much! You're making me mad now!"

Ignoring the pain, Zhao Wuji activated his second spirit ring, "Second Spirit Skill—Mighty Vajra Palm!"

His right hand transformed into a massive bear paw, ready to pound down on Tang San.

Calmly, Tang San released layers of Blue Silver Grass in front of him, creating a barrier. But as sturdy as Blue Silver Grass was, it was no match for Zhao Wuji's second skill.

Zhao Wuji smashed through the Blue Silver Grass as though it were paper, leaving it shredded in his wake.

Just then, Su Ming made his move. Stomping his right foot, he clasped his hands together. "Tree World Wall!"

As Tang San was preparing to meet Zhao Wuji's attack head-on with Mysterious Jade Hands, a thick wall of vines rose up in front of him, blocking his way.

"Huh?"

With a sly grin, Zhao Wuji broke through two layers of the Tree World Wall. Just as he was about to shatter the third layer, he found himself immobilized!

Tang San had activated his second spirit skill: "Second Spirit Skill—Parasitic!"

As Zhao Wuji had torn through the Blue Silver Grass, its seeds had latched onto him. Though Blue Silver Grass alone couldn't have held him back, the Tree World Wall had regenerated thanks to Su Ming's skill, combining and binding him tightly!

Startled, Zhao Wuji realized he'd underestimated Su Ming's mastery over his own spirit abilities.

He had assumed that Su Ming was simply good at support skills and that his combat prowess would be limited. But that clearly wasn't the case here!

The Tree World Wall's rapid regeneration stemmed from the life-attribute boost of Su Ming's fourth spirit skill, Endless Vitality.

Now fully aware of Su Ming's strength, Zhao Wuji grew eager to see just how far Su Ming could push him.

"So, you're the strongest one on the team after all. Looks like I underestimated you!" he said.

Su Ming replied humbly, "Not at all, Teacher Zhao. I'm just a simple support."

Zhao Wuji:...

Su Ming's nonchalant display left Zhao Wuji speechless—what kind of support-type spirit master was like this?

Tang San couldn't help but be at a loss too. Can't he just speak normally?

Nonetheless, Tang San felt grateful for Su Ming's help in blocking Zhao Wuji's Mighty Vajra Palm. Without it, he'd have taken some damage, even if he could barely manage to block it himself.

The three girls burst into laughter.

Zhao Wuji wasn't pleased with Su Ming's effortless swagger. He thought, This kid's even better at showing off than I am. I need to teach him a lesson. His third and fifth spirit rings glowed. "Fifth Spirit Skill—Gravity Crush! Third Spirit Skill—Gravity Amplification!"

Dai Mubai gasped from the sidelines, "Teacher Zhao is using two spirit skills at once! Is that necessary?"

Ning Rongrong quickly cast her enhancements on Su Ming. "First Spirit Skill: Strength! Second Spirit Skill: Speed!"

"Su Ming, don't lose to this bully!" she cheered.

"Go, Brother! Knock him down!" Xiao Wu added.

Zhu Zhuqing stayed silent, but her intense gaze fixed on Su Ming conveyed her encouragement.

Zhao Wuji huffed. Necessary? I just want to see Su Ming's real strength.

Tang San found himself helpless in this situation. His two spirit skills didn't have much effect on Teacher Zhao, and his hidden weapons wouldn't do much either.

Wait... poison!

It wouldn't be hugely effective, but anything would help. Knowing that Su Ming's spirit had healing properties that should neutralize minor toxins, Tang San took out his most potent poison from his soul tool and, with Mysterious Jade Hand, hurled it toward Zhao Wuji.

Meanwhile, Su Ming felt his body grow heavy, as if he were being pulled uncontrollably toward Zhao Wuji. Frowning, he realized he had no choice but to go all in. He activated his four spirit rings in a cascade: Resilience, Soul Power, Recovery Speed, and Vitality. Every buff stacked on him!

With the added strength, Su Ming felt the weight bearing down on him ease significantly.

The three girls watched him expectantly; it was the first time they'd seen Su Ming go all out!

Zhao Wuji saw Su Ming's four glowing spirit rings but noticed no offensive action. Let's see what you're planning, he thought, charging his right hand.

"Second Spirit Skill—Mighty Vajra Palm!" he shouted, throwing a powerful strike at the airborne Su Ming.

As he was about to make contact, Zhao Wuji noticed Su Ming wasn't reacting at all. Did I misjudge? This hesitation softened his strike just slightly.

"Wood Style—Azure Sky Wood Dragon!"

Out of nowhere, a massive wooden dragon materialized, coiling protectively around Su Ming. Its massive body absorbed the brunt of Zhao Wuji's Mighty Vajra Palm, and its head locked a fierce gaze on Zhao Wuji, sending a chill down his spine.

The dragon's body shattered slightly under the force of the attack but soon regenerated, returning to its full form.

Seeing his attack fail, Zhao Wuji backed up, scrutinizing the creature. The wooden dragon, about ten meters long, was thick and sturdy, its head glaring warily at him as if it were alive.

Watching Su Ming's spirit skill in action, Zhao Wuji was stunned. How does he have such a powerful skill? This wood dragon looks like it's alive!
