Chapter 91

"Let me first introduce you to Teacher Zhao's characteristics" Dai Mubai began explaining to the four of them. "Teacher Zhao possesses a powerful beast martial spirit, the Vigorous Vajra Bear which excels in both offense and defense, without any apparent flaws and Originally speed was his weakness but with the immense gap in soul power between ours and him and that weakness becomes irrelevant."

"Fortunately, your martial spirits are well-matched" Dai Mubai added "Let's quickly discuss a strategy. Otherwise, forget lasting a stick of incense's time—you won't even withstand his first wave of attacks!"

To be honest Dai Mubai wasn't optimistic about their chances. The four of them were simply too weak compared to Zhao Wuji and Whether they passed or not would depend entirely on how much mercy Zhao Wuji decided to show.

In reality there wasn't much strategy to discuss and with Tang San and the others' current abilities, all they needed to do was stick to their respective roles: strong attack, agile attack, control, and support.

Soon the four of them stood in front of Zhao Wuji and prepared for the test. Ning Rongrong took the lead.

"The Seven Treasures turn into colored glaze!" Ning Rongrong's voice rang out as her body spun gracefully and Colorful light shimmered around her, and a dazzling, noble pagoda appeared in her hand, radiating brilliance "The Seven Treasures have names! One is power, the other is speed!"

Using the heart separation method Ning Rongrong precisely amplified Tang San and Xiao Wu's strength, while enhancing Zhu Zhuqing's speed and her refined soul amplification ensured that everyone received the most suitable boosts.

"Wow! Among this year's candidates, there's actually someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan—and they've already mastered distraction control!" Zhao Wuji chuckled with interest as he lit a stick of incense and planted it firmly into the ground "Not bad, not bad Flender is going to be thrilled!"

Without wasting time, Zhao Wuji crouched slightly and punched the ground and the impact sent a ki-colored wave of force surging toward Ning Rongrong.

"Not good!" Tang San immediately understood Zhao Wuji's tactic his master had once told him that if he ever encountered a support-type soul master from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, he should prioritize taking them out first

Zhao Wuji clearly knew this well. His initial wave of attacks was directed solely at Ning Rongrong. Tang San quickly extended his Blue Silver Grass to pull her out of danger

However to everyone's surprise, Ning Rongrong moved faster than Tang San's vines could reach her. With nimble, unpredictable steps and she gracefully dodged Zhao Wuji's attack.

"What kind of movement technique is this?" Zhao Wuji frowned. He punched the ground several more times and sending four consecutive waves of force toward Ning Rongrong.

But each time she effortlessly evaded them with her strange footwork and as if she could predict exactly where the attacks would land.

"This footwork is even more mysterious and elusive than my Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!" Tang San observed in amazement "And Ning Rongrong seems to possess some detection-type soul skill. Combined with her body technique, the two complement each other perfectly. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's foundation is truly profound!"

What Tang San didn't know was that Ning Rongrong's movements came from Shushan's qi detection technique and the high-level body movement technique, Drunken Immortal Moon-gazing Step, both taught to her by Jun Tianlin to improve her battlefield survival skills.

Zhao Wuji frustrated by his inability to catch Ning Rongrong and shifted his focus to the other three. Tang San saw the opening and acted immediately.

"Blue Silver Grass entangle!" Tang San's vines shot out wrapping around Zhao Wuji's limbs to restrain him

Taking advantage of the opportunity Xiao Wu launched a frontal assault while Zhu Zhuqing darted in from the side with her agility-based attacks. The trio's coordinated efforts forced Zhao Wuji into a defensive position

Meanwhile Yin Mengyang, watching from the shadows, clenched his fists in anger "That Zhao Wuji! I must kill him! How dare he target my little princess so relentlessly?"

Tang Hao standing beside Yin Mengyang and chuckled "Calm down. Your little princess is fine. There's no need to get so worked up."

But before Tang Hao could finish speaking Zhao Wuji suddenly changed tactics. He ignored Ning Rongrong and charged directly at Tang San and intending to incapacitate the control-type soul master.

"Second soul skill—Powerful Vajra Palm!" Zhao Wuji roared and unleashing a powerful strike. If the attack connected, Tang San and a mere spirit Grand Master would be incapacitated immediately.

"Tang Hao, you were saying?" Yin Mengyang smirked as he saw Tang Hao gripping his Clear Sky Hammer tightly and ready to intervene. The famed double standards of the Tang family were clearly on display again.

At the critical moment and Ning Rongrong stepped in to save Tang San.

"The Seven Treasures have names! The second is speed!" she chanted granting Tang San a speed boost.

Tang San felt his body lighten as the boost took effect. He silently marveled at Ning Rongrong's precise timing with her support abilities were impeccable—always providing the most appropriate assistance exactly when needed.

"Alright, let's see how you like this!" Tang San activated three Tang Sect techniques in quick succession: Mysterious Jade Hand, Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.

First he used Mysterious Jade Hand to block Zhao Wuji's attack and then employed Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon to deflect the force of the blow and Finally, he used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to retreat swiftly out of Zhao Wuji's range.

"Dragon Whisker Needle—go!" Tang San launched a counterattack with one of his hidden weapons, the Plate Gold Crystal Dragon Whisker Needle.

Zhao Wuji confident in his defense, paid no attention to the needle. However, as soon as it pierced his skin the needle curled inward and hooking into his muscles and causing immense pain.

"The Seven Treasures have names! The second is speed!" Ning Rongrong called out again, this time applying the speed boost to herself and Xiao Wu. She also withdrew the strength enhancements from everyone signaling a change in strategy.

Tang San quickly caught on to her plan since they wouldn't win by brute force but by enduring it so if they could evade Zhao Wuji long enough for the incense to burn out then they would pass the test.

With the plan set, the four of them began to scatter Zhu Zhuqing relied on her natural agility while Ning Rongrong and Tang San used their advanced footwork techniques to dodge Zhao Wuji's attacks. The group danced around the battlefield and making it difficult for Zhao Wuji to catch any of them.

"You little monsters! I underestimated you!" Zhao Wuji growled in frustration "In that case, let's see how you handle this—fifth soul skill: Gravity Compression!"

A powerful gravitational force erupted from Zhao Wuji and pulling everything toward him like a black hole. Tang San and the others, despite their agility, couldn't escape the pull.

"Damn it! Blue Silver Grass—entangle!" Tang San desperately used his first soul skill and wrapping everyone in his vines to slow down the gravitational pull.

Time was running out. The incense stick was still burning and if they could just hold on a little longer then they would achieve victory.
