Chapter 58: Battling the Immovable Bright King, Was the Useless Tang San One-Shotted?
Not long after.
Under Lin Qingmo’s command, the group lined up to face Zhao Wuji.
The atmosphere in the clearing became tense.
Zhao Wuji twisted his neck, making a series of crisp cracking sounds, and gave a chuckle.
"Little brats, are you ready to take my move?"
Before his voice had even faded.
An incredibly overbearing Aura suddenly erupted from his body!
Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black!
A total of seven spirit rings rose from beneath his feet like ripples on water. The pressure formed by the Spirit Saint’s spirit power made the air feel thick and heavy.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, being weaker in strength, were pushed back half a step by this surge of Aura, finding it difficult to even breathe.
Dai Mubai also tensed his body, the phantom of the White Tiger Spirit flickering behind him.
Only Lin Qingmo remained standing steadily in place, the hem of his clothes barely fluttering.
A flash of surprise crossed Zhao Wuji’s eyes, followed by an even stronger Battle Intent.
"Alright! The test begins!"
He gave a loud shout like a bear’s roar, causing the dust on the wooden house to rustle and fall.
Almost at the same moment he shouted "Start," Lin Qingmo’s calm voice also rang out.
"Ning Rongrong, according to the plan, buff Dai Mubai and Xiao Wu!"
"Understood!"
Ning Rongrong reacted extremely quickly.
Light radiated from her palm as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda spun out.
"Seven Treasures Turn Out the Glazed Tile!"
"Seven Treasures Named: One says Strength! Two says Speed!"
Two brilliant and soft beams of light instantly shot out, landing precisely on Dai Mubai and Xiao Wu.
The two felt their bodies lighten as a sense of powerful strength and agility surged through them simultaneously.
Dai Mubai did not dare to delay.
With a roar, the White Tiger phantom behind him solidified as the Evil Eyes White Tiger possessed him, and three spirit rings lit up simultaneously!
Third Spirit Ability: White Tiger Vajra Transformation!
His muscles instantly bulged, his hair grew wildly, and his Aura surged significantly.
First Spirit Ability: White Tiger Barrier!
A faint white light enveloped his entire body.
Second Spirit Ability: White Tiger Light Wave!
He opened his mouth and spat out a blazing white light wave, leading the attack against Zhao Wuji!
At the same time, he kicked off the ground, following the light wave to charge in for close-quarters combat.
However, just as Dai Mubai was halfway through his charge, a figure faster than him, carrying a sense of stubbornness and ruthlessness, suddenly darted out from the flank!
It was Tang San!
He didn’t care about the plan at all.
His mind was filled with the desire to prove himself.
Especially in front of Xiao Wu and that "monster" Lin Qingmo, he didn’t want to be seen as a burden!
"First Spirit Ability: Binding!"
He shouted out loud.
Countless strands of Blue Silver Grass shot out from his hand, winding toward Zhao Wuji’s legs like nimble venomous snakes.
"Second Spirit Ability: Parasite!"
Minute Blue Silver Grass seeds, nearly invisible to the naked eye, silently fell onto Zhao Wuji’s clothes and skin.
Zhao Wuji was watching Dai Mubai’s charge with interest and didn’t even spare a glance at the Blue Silver Grass attacking from the flank.
"Heh, kid, is this it?"
He allowed the Blue Silver Grass to bind his calves and even let the parasitic seeds land on him.
His fan-like large hand reached out casually, precisely grabbing several main vines and pulling hard!
"Come over here!"
"!!!"
An irresistible, massive force was transmitted.
Tang San felt his body lighten as he was yanked off the ground by sheer force, flying toward Zhao Wuji like a ragdoll.
Zhao Wuji clenched his other hand into a fist, spirit power surging. He didn’t use any Spirit Ability—just a simple, solid punch that smashed squarely into Tang San’s chest.
"Bang!"
A muffled thud sounded.
"Ugh!"
Tang San’s eyes instantly bulged out, and the color drained completely from his face.
He didn’t even manage a groan before his body flew backward faster than it had come, rolling over a dozen times on the ground before finally coming to a stop.
"Blargh!"
He lay on the ground and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, staining a small patch of earth red.
His chest burned with pain.
He didn’t know how many bones were broken.
His spirit power was scattered, and he didn’t even have the strength to crawl up.
Just like that, he had completely lost his combat capability.
"..."
Zhao Wuji maintained his punching posture.
Looking at Tang San lying motionless in the distance, his face was written with speechlessness and disdain.
He had originally intended to use the "test" as an excuse to properly "guide" this kid who had injured Dai Mubai, venting some frustration for his student.
Who would have thought... this kid was so reckless yet so fragile that he went down in one punch?
What’s the point of playing anymore!
Everyone else was dumbfounded.
This guy Tang San completely ignored the strategy!
What happened to the teamwork?
What happened to lasting for the duration of an incense stick against Teacher Zhao?
Why did he rush up to give away his life first?
Brother, do you really not know what a Spirit Saint is?
"Don’t mind him."
Lin Qingmo’s voice pulled everyone back to reality.
"We continue our fight."
He didn’t take Tang San seriously at all, let alone bet any hopes on him.
Currently, without using Hidden Weapons, Tang San seemed redundant in this team.
With both having the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, with Lin Qingmo on the field, Tang San’s meager skills were really not worth looking at.
The others also snapped out of it.
Ning Rongrong curled her lip and whispered, "He sought his own death, can’t blame anyone else."
Dai Mubai’s expression was ugly.
The fact that the person who had injured him with a sneak attack was such an idiot made him feel even more annoyed.
Zhu Zhuqing only gave the fallen Tang San a faint glance before resuming her combat stance.
Xiao Wu was even more direct, making a face toward Tang San’s direction.
Zhao Wuji kicked the unconscious Tang San to the edge of the field, like kicking away a stone in the way.
He twisted his neck, his joints making "crack-crack" sounds.
His gaze fell back onto Lin Qingmo and the others, his lips curling into a mocking arc.
"Only this level?"
His coarse voice carried undisguised contempt.
"Still thinking of lasting an incense stick under me? You must be dreaming!"
Lin Qingmo, however, smiled.
He smiled very brightly, revealing a row of white teeth.
"What’s the rush, Teacher Zhao?"
He flexed his wrists, an excited light shining in his eyes.
"The good show is only just beginning."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Three deep purple spirit rings lit up simultaneously from beneath Lin Qingmo’s feet!
"Holy crap!"
Zhao Wuji’s eyes nearly popped out, and a curse escaped his lips.
"What kind of spirit rings are those?!"
He had seen countless geniuses in his long life, but he had never seen a monster whose first three rings were all thousand-year ones!
Moreover, that third purple spirit ring was a purple so deep it was almost black; it clearly wasn’t just at the thousand-year level!
Lin Qingmo didn’t waste words and directly activated his Spirit Ability.
First Spirit Ability: Azure Soul-Bathing Barrier!
He clapped his hands together!
With him as the center, a faint green light curtain instantly unfolded, rapidly expanding outward into a circular barrier two hundred meters in diameter, enveloping the entire assessment field.
Inside the barrier, rich life energy was like a mist.
Ning Rongrong took a deep breath, feeling her whole body refreshed, and even the circulation of her spirit power sped up by a few notches.
"A support-type Spirit Ability?"
Just as this thought occurred to her, it was interrupted by the scene before her.
"Rumble!"
The ground within the barrier began to shake violently!
"Pshh! Pshh!"
Dozens of thick Blue Silver Grass stalks burst out from the ground, growing frantically at a speed visible to the naked eye!
In just a few breaths, these Blue Silver Grass stalks grew to over ten meters high and as thick as a thigh!
One by one, the vines twisted in the air like giant pythons, blotting out the sky.
It was like a forest constructed of Blue Silver Grass.
