Just as Oscar was sighing, thinking his sale was dead.
Tang Lan stepped forward.
He picked up a sausage and put down five copper soul coins.
In the stunned gazes of everyone, he took a bite of the sausage.
"Sizzle—"
It even burst with juice!
"Tastes good," Tang Lan praised, "and it replenishes soul power and stamina. It's quite good."
Glancing at everyone's expressions, Tang Lan raised an eyebrow.
"Besides the five of us newcomers, there are only three older students in this school."
"From now on, whether it's a Soul Master competition or teaming up at the Douluo Arena, you can't avoid Oscar, the support Soul Master."
"You'll have to eat it sooner or later, so what's there to dislike?"
His words
moved Oscar to tears!
"Brother! You're my brother!"
"Finally, someone understands me!"
"Wuwuwu—"
[Host has gained Oscar's recognition, seizing a trace of Tang San's luck!]
[Reward: "Soul Ring Age +50"!]
Oh ho?
He had just planned to get it over with, thinking it was better to suffer now than later, and show off a bit.
He didn't expect such an unexpected gain.
Dai Mubai also showed admiration.
"Tang Lan, your perspective is truly broad!"
"I only dared to eat it after I had been enrolled for over a year."
This also confirmed Tang Lan's speculation.
Xiao Wu listened to Tang Lan the most. Even though she was angry, she gritted her teeth and stepped forward.
"Give me one too!"
What no one expected was that Zhu Zhuqing was the second to follow.
Silently putting down the copper soul coin, she picked up a sausage and took a bite!
Tang Lan's brow twitched as he watched.
He didn't expect Zhu Zhuqing to have this talent.
After she was acquired, he could explore it further.
Tang San also prepared himself mentally and took a sausage to eat.
Only Ning Rongrong was left, looking disgusted.
She showed no intention of stepping forward.
This independent attitude made her particularly stand out.
Oscar had initially felt a bit of good feeling towards her—a good feeling born from attraction.
But now…
Although he had a bit of a fawning tendency, she had already shown disdain before anything even began.
Was he still going to go up and fawn over her?
He wasn't that desperate.
He immediately put away some of his little thoughts.
After bidding farewell to Oscar,
There was some commotion when they passed through the second checkpoint.
But everything stopped the moment Xiao Wu revealed her three soul rings.
They bypassed the third checkpoint and went directly to the fourth.
Zhao Wuji, seeing this large group, happily came over, sniffing the air.
"Good!"
"One at level 26, two at level 27, and one at level 31."
"Hmm?"
Zhao Wuji stopped in front of Tang Lan.
"You…"
He suspected his own nose; how could he smell it. "Teacher Zhao," Dai Mubai said helplessly, "I can't be the chief examiner for this round. It has to be you."
This fourth trial,
originally he was supposed to face the examinees.
But today's lineup was too luxurious!
He couldn't even beat Tang Lan alone right now.
Zhao Wuji nodded upon hearing this.
"It's a bit difficult for you."
"I'll give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to tell them my information."
"Then, you will collectively hold out under me for the duration of an incense stick, and that will be considered passing the assessment."
"Mutual coordination and cooperation is their only chance."
After speaking,
he tossed down a lit incense stick and stood with his hands behind his back, striking a pose.
Dai Mubai also walked over and briefly explained the situation.
He also spread some of Zhao Wuji's glorious deeds.
Immovable Ming King Zhao Wuji, a Level 76 Assault type Battle Soul Saint, with the Great Strength Vajra Bear Martial Soul, was impregnable.
As a Soul Emperor, he had broken through a siege of sixteen Soul Emperors from the Spirit Hall.
"In short, Teacher Zhao is very powerful!"
"Discuss amongst yourselves and cooperate well, strive to last longer under Teacher Zhao." Dai Mubai stepped back half a pace, making space.
Everyone subconsciously looked at Tang Lan.
"Dai Mubai, did you choose to give up being the examiner because of him?" Ning Rongrong asked directly, "Did you know each other before?"
Dai Mubai turned his head away, his expression somewhat unnatural.
It's over!
His embarrassing past was about to be exposed. "Ah, yes, we've crossed paths before," Tang Lan said with a laugh. "That's not important. Let's all introduce ourselves."
Dai Mubai breathed a sigh of relief.
He shot Tang Lan a grateful look. His good brother was saving him face!
"I'll go first." Tang Lan summoned his Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor. "Tang Lan, 12 years old, mutated Martial Soul Life Soul Blue Silver Grass, Level 40 Control System Battle Soul Master."
Zhu Zhuqing, who already knew, couldn't help but her pupils contracted. You're still a mutated Martial Soul? And you have twin Martial Souls, so the other one must also… Ning Rongrong slowly typed out a question mark? What is this? Level 40!!! "Impossible!" she blurted out. "Even a mutated Blue Silver Grass can't reach Level 40! A Level 40 at only 12 years old!!!"
Tang Lan didn't waste words and revealed his yellow, yellow, and purple Soul Rings.
A surge of internal energy far exceeding that of his peers gushed out!
"As the highest-ranked Control System Battle Soul Master present, I will be commanding this battle."
"Does anyone have any issues?"
Tang San and Xiao Wu nodded as a matter of course.
Zhu Zhuqing also nodded without hesitation—she knew just how strong Tang Lan was.
Could Ning Rongrong possibly object? Regardless, it wouldn't fall to her, a support, anyway.
She nodded along.
"Very good."
"Then now, let's all introduce ourselves."
Xiao Wu was the first to play along.
"Xiao Wu, Beast Martial Soul Soft Bone Rabbit, Level 31 Agile Attack System Battle Soul Master!"
"Tang San, Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, Level 27 Control System Battle Soul Master."
"Zhu Zhuqing, Beast Martial Soul Netherworld Spirit Cat, Level 27 Agile Attack System Battle Soul Master."
After the three finished, they looked at Ning Rongrong.
Ning Rongrong also snapped back to reality and gave Tang Lan a deep look.
"Ning Rongrong, Martial Soul Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Level 26 Support System Soul Master, capable of boosting strength and speed by 30% each."
This drew surprised glances from Xiao Wu and the others. No wonder she's so temperamental; she's the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"I also ran away from home. Let's focus on getting through this immediate challenge first," Ning Rongrong said.
Tang Lan nodded.
Taking the Snake Revolver from the Blue King, Tang Lan handed it to Xiao Wu.
"Xiao Wu, teach Rongrong how to use it."
This is a rare opportunity to show off, I can't let it slip by.
Xiao Wu understood the situation.
With a huff, she snatched the Snake Revolver and handed both hers and Tang Lan's to Ning Rongrong.
Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward.
"Can you use that move of yours?"
Tang Lan hadn't mentioned his twin Martial Souls when he introduced himself.
She brought it up subtly.
Tang Lan pondered.
Zhao Wuji was knowledgeable. Even if the Lightning Flame Clear Sky Hammer had changed form, using Clear Sky secret techniques might still expose him.
However!
Tang Hao was nearby. He would likely have a "heart-to-heart" with Zhao Wuji that evening.
So, he didn't need to worry about information leaking.
The others would also be fighting alongside him in the future, so there was no point in keeping it a secret now.
It was better to be upfront.
Most importantly, he wanted to pass the assessment in one go, without giving Tang San a chance to "show off his hidden weapons."
Therefore, he shook his head and refused.
This match, he would go all out!
"It's difficult for me to focus on guiding you during a battle."
"Simple amplification isn't as good as focusing on the fight."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded and returned to her position.
When Ning Rongrong returned with a doubtful expression, Tang Lan began to arrange their strategy.
The five of them spread out into formation.
With Tang Lan and Tang San leading, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing flanking them, they protected Ning Rongrong behind them.
Zhao Wuji opened his eyes.
"Oh? It's not time yet, and you're starting already?"
"Please, Teacher Zhao, guide us." Tang Lan smiled, "If we offend you in any way during the process, please forgive us."
"Hahahaha—" Zhao Wuji threw his head back and laughed, "Even if you're level 40, little娃娃, what can you do to me? Go ahead, don't hold back!"
He's quite confident.
I hope you can still laugh this happily later.
Tang Lan raised his hand.
"Attack!"
