Chapter 83: Tang San's Thoughts, Giving Silent Wrist Arrows

Su Ming spoke seriously, "It's absolutely necessary. Teacher Zhao is already bending the rules by changing the fourth test, so we can't let him look down on us. Don't you all agree?"

As he finished speaking, Su Ming glanced around at everyone.

Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing all nodded in agreement.

Dai Mubai, however, looked at Su Ming in shock. This guy sure has guts! At our level, we can't even break through Teacher Zhao's defense, let alone defeat him!

Xiao Wu eyed Zhao Wuji and wanted to use her Eight-Stage Throw on him, but the gap in strength was too vast. Moreover, Zhao Wuji's defense was so formidable that if she attempted it, she might end up getting countered.

Seeing the group's spirits rise, Su Ming further encouraged Tang San, "Tang San, only the thing you got yesterday can penetrate Teacher Zhao's soul power defense. With your technique, I'm sure you can break through his defenses by concentrating on a point!"

Tang San saw everyone looking at him with anticipation and sighed, nodding. "Alright, since everyone agrees, I do think Teacher Zhao is going a bit overboard. Let's give it a shot and see if we can defeat him."

Dai Mubai widened his eyes in disbelief. You're the one with the lowest soul power here. Where do you get the confidence to say something like that?

Because Dai Mubai hadn't fought Tang San before, he still underestimated him. Even if Blue Silver Grass is somewhat special, it's still Blue Silver Grass.

Reluctantly, Tang San pulled out four Silent Wrist Arrows, handing one to each of his teammates. He winced as he did so, clearly not happy about parting with his tools. "These are Silent Wrist Arrows, a type of hidden weapon. Strap them on your wrist, and when I give the signal, aim them at Teacher Zhao and fire."

"These won't hurt Teacher Zhao, but if we all aim at one point, there's a chance we'll break through his defenses. Watch where I target, and fire together."

Everyone nodded in agreement, fastening the wrist arrows on their hands and inspecting them curiously.

Tang San thought to himself, If Su Ming wants me to use hidden weapons against Zhao Wuji, then I might as well take the opportunity. I'll let them try out the wrist arrows for now and see how effective they are. These are low-level hidden weapons, and I'll be making better ones in the future.

Tang San's main goal was for Ning Rongrong, a direct descendant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, to see the potential of hidden weapons, hoping to establish a future partnership. After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan was known as the richest clan on the continent. If he wanted to build the Tang Sect in this world, collaborating with them was ideal.

Once everyone was familiar with the wrist arrows, Tang San said, "That's the plan. When we fire the hidden weapons, Su Ming, you should use your wooden spikes to attack as well."

Su Ming nodded casually but then turned to Xiao Wu with a serious expression. "Xiao Wu, when you fight Teacher Zhao, you must not use your second soul skill. Understood?"

Xiao Wu tilted her head in confusion, "Why, Brother?"

Su Ming explained, "Your second soul skill, Charm, is powerful, but the level difference between you and Teacher Zhao is too great. If you use it on him, you'll be hit by the backlash."

"Teacher Zhao is known as the Immovable King for a reason. He won't be affected by your Charm, and you'll be in danger if you try it."

Xiao Wu nodded solemnly, acknowledging his point.

Dai Mubai glanced at Su Ming in surprise, impressed that he had thought of such a critical detail. Indeed, if Xiao Wu tried to charm Teacher Zhao, she'd be in serious trouble.

Given the short amount of time they had, they could only devise a simple strategy. Its effectiveness would depend on how well it played out in practice. After all, Zhao Wuji was far too strong for them, and this was their first time working together.

"Have you finished planning? Time's up!" Zhao Wuji's booming voice interrupted them.

The five turned to see that the incense stick had indeed burned out.

"Teacher, we're ready," Dai Mubai nodded to Zhao Wuji before stepping aside to observe the battle. He was eager to see how they fought, especially since Zhao Wuji's martial spirit and fighting style were both powerful, making him an ideal role model for learning battle techniques.

Su Ming, on the other hand, was curious about Tang San's hidden weapons. According to Su Ming, they would be crucial in defeating Zhao Wuji, but he still had his doubts.

Zhao Wuji stood up, cracking his knuckles as he stretched his arms. He lit another incense stick and stuck it in the ground.

The moment the incense was lit, Ning Rongrong moved swiftly. Since Zhao Wuji is fighting unfairly, why shouldn't I give us a little head start?

"Seven Treasures, Glazed!" Ning Rongrong twirled gracefully, her body glowing with rainbow-colored light. A radiant, seven-colored pagoda appeared in her right palm.

Her first soul ring lit up, "First treasure: Strength! Second treasure: Speed!"

Instantly, three beams of light shot out from her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, enveloping Tang San and the others, except Su Ming, who was by her side protecting her and didn't need the boost.

Tang San would not only use Blue Silver Grass to control the field but also rely on his Tang Sect martial skills for close combat, so the boost was essential.

Zhao Wuji raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Well, well! A Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan member among the candidates this year? Not bad, not bad! Flender is going to be ecstatic. And she's already a three-ring Soul Elder! Incredible! I should've asked Dai Mubai about their levels earlier!"

Tang San felt the changes in his body and marveled at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's power. The forty percent boost in strength and speed was astonishing.

With everyone in position, Tang San gave the order, "Activate martial spirits!"

The area was suddenly illuminated with various lights as everyone unleashed their spirits, leaving Zhao Wuji dumbfounded.

The weakest among them was Tang San, with only two soul rings. But based on his experience, Zhao Wuji could tell Tang San was close to obtaining his third ring.

The others, however, were all Soul Elders with three rings.

Wait, something wasn't right.

Zhao Wuji glanced over at Su Ming's direction and froze. What the heck? A four-ring Soul Ancestor?!

He shot a glare at Dai Mubai. "Dai Mubai, what's going on this year? Their average strength is over thirty levels, and there's even a four-ring Soul Ancestor!"

Dai Mubai sighed, "Teacher, you didn't ask. And besides, as the examiner, it wouldn't be fair if I told you their levels beforehand, now would it?"
