Zhao Wuji's loud voice came over.
Chen Feng looked in the direction of the sound and saw him standing there yawning, holding a stick of incense in his hand, looking rather bored.
Chen Feng did not respond first, but instead said to Ning Rongrong:
"Give us the buffs first."
“Okay.” Ning Rongrong understood what he meant.
Her body spun gracefully once, releasing a dazzling seven-colored light that coalesced into a seven-colored pagoda over a foot tall.
"Seven treasures turn out to produce crystal, one of which is: power."
Ning Rongrong's first spirit ring rose and enveloped the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. With a light tap of her left hand, two beams of colorful light enveloped Chen Feng and Zhu Zhuqing.
As melee control characters, they need strength boosts, but others don't.
Although Ning Rongrong didn't particularly like Zhu Zhuqing, she could still distinguish between serious matters and personal affairs.
"You little rascal, trying to cheat?" Zhao Wuji laughed and scolded when he saw this, while also being somewhat surprised.
He didn't expect that there would be a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School among this year's examinees.
"There are also two Soul Masters, and that famous Master Chenfeng. Tsk tsk, Boss Fu must be overjoyed this time. I have to be serious too, or I might mess things up."
Despite saying he was serious, Zhao Wuji's actions remained unhurried. He casually tossed the incense stick, which he had lit at some point, into the ground.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong had already released her second soul skill, "Seven Treasures have names, the second is: Speed".
Two more beams of colorful light shot out, enveloping Chen Feng and Zhu Zhuqing.
As for the others, Ning Rongrong has not yet blessed them.
The two archers and Tang San are in the ranged position, so the strength enhancement is not very useful to them, and the speed enhancement is not necessary for the time being. They can be temporarily enhanced when they are attacked.
For Ning Rongrong, who can now barely use the Four Apertures of Constant Heart, this is not a difficult task.
She knew very well that this was a protracted battle, so she had to conserve every bit of her soul power—a lesson she had learned from her father over the years.
At this moment, Zhao Wuji took action. Instead of rushing towards Chen Feng and the others, he squatted down and slammed his fists into the ground.
"Everyone, jump!" Tang San summoned countless Blue Silver Grasses that surged towards Zhao Wuji.
On one hand, it provides Zhu Zhuqing with a shadow to hide behind, and on the other hand, it provides a place for teammates to jump and gain leverage.
At the same time, he also threw out a Blue Silver Grass to entangle Ning Rongrong and pull her off the ground.
At this moment, Chen Feng used the Blue Silver Grass to jump up and move towards Zhao Wuji.
Before a battle, he usually plans the tactics, but once the battle begins, Tang San takes command. This is a tacit understanding they have developed over the years.
Because Tang San was positioned at a distance, he could have a comprehensive view of the entire situation.
As a sharp-edged position engaged in close combat with the enemy, Chen Feng's field of vision was greatly limited, leaving him with neither the conditions nor the energy to command the battle.
Chen Feng used the Blue Silver Grass to get close to Zhao Wuji, while also avoiding the earthquake waves emitted by Zhao Wuji.
As for Zhu Zhuqing, she had already disappeared without a trace, and it was unknown where she was hiding.
Chen Feng jumped off the Blue Silver Grass, and the first and second spirit rings on his sword lit up simultaneously.
Using the force of gravity, he delivered a powerful vertical slash to Zhao Wuji's head.
This is Chen Feng's signature sword move, the Taishan Meteorite Fall.
Zhao Wuji originally intended to show off his expertise by not dodging or avoiding, but after seeing Chen Feng's move and feeling the sharpness of the sword, he had no choice but to activate his martial spirit.
Seven perfectly matched spirit rings rose from beneath his feet, and his body suddenly became much stronger, instantly growing a meter taller and his muscles more than doubling in size.
Chen Feng, who was originally some distance from Zhao Wuji's head, was now face to face with him due to the increase in Zhao Wuji's size.
Zhao Wuji sneered and stretched out his huge bear paw to grab Chen Feng, but the next second several blue silver grasses sprouted from the ground and directly wrapped around Zhao Wuji's hand.
Although the blue silver grass broke off quickly, Zhao Wuji's hand was momentarily delayed.
At the same time, several more Blue Silver Grasses came to Chen Feng's feet, giving him a foothold. He then used Ghost Shadow Steps to get away from Zhao Wuji.
As soon as he left, several silver-white moon blades grazed his body and slashed towards Zhao Wuji, while more than a dozen translucent feathers shot towards Zhao Wuji from another direction.
This is the tacit understanding that Chen Feng and the other two have developed over the years. Tang San creates the space for Chen Feng to move around, while Xiao Wu seizes the opportunity to deal damage from a distance.
Because Xiao Wu has extremely strong control over her soul power, her attacks are also precise enough that she can perform some thrilling maneuvers like glancing blows. Chen Feng is not worried that she will hit him.
Bai Chenxiang, on the other hand, was much less skilled in this regard. She didn't dare to use any glancing shots and could only attack from another direction.
As Zhao Wuji's attention was drawn to the moon blade and feathers in front of him, and he raised his hands to protect himself, Zhu Zhuqing's figure quietly emerged from the shadows behind him. Her claws, wreathed in black light, slashed across Zhao Wuji's back, leaving several bloody marks.
However, for the physically robust Zhao Wuji, these few bloodstains were merely minor abrasions.
Having landed a successful blow, Zhu Zhuqing retreated swiftly without hesitation, disappearing into the shadows once more.
Zhao Wuji wanted to turn around and counterattack, but the frontal attack had already arrived.
The next moment, he let out a low roar, his first spirit ring suddenly lit up, and his whole body burst out with intense golden light.
This is his first soul skill, the Immovable King Body, which not only enhances his own offensive and defensive capabilities but also injures surrounding enemies the moment it is activated.
However, Chen Feng and Zhu Zhuqing were already far away, so the golden light did not harm anyone, but only shattered all the Blue Silver Grass around Zhao Wuji.
Tang San frowned slightly, then continued fighting as if nothing had happened.
With his current recovery ability, the impact of the shattered Blue Silver Grass is now negligible.
Zhao Wuji glanced at the several young men and women in the arena and sighed:
"With the soul power of you Great Soul Masters, you were actually able to harm me. The new generation is truly remarkable. You are so lucky to live in the Foundation Establishment era."
"But now that I've used the Immovable King Body, it will be very difficult for you to break through my defenses. So what will you do next?"
Zhao Wuji's second and third spirit rings lit up simultaneously. His hands doubled in size and turned golden, while the purple spirit rings were injected into the ground, instantly increasing the surrounding gravity.
At that moment, Chen Feng and the others suddenly felt as if their feet were sinking into mud, and their bodies became heavy.
Zhao Wuji's gaze swept across the room and landed on Ning Rongrong. He took a step forward and rushed directly towards the little girl from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Ning Rongrong seemed a little flustered, but she quickly calmed down. First, she gave herself a speed boost, then she turned and ran while holding the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda.
Tang San kept summoning Blue Silver Grass to hinder Zhao Wuji's movements, and occasionally used Blue Silver Grass to block Zhao Wuji's vision. This endless stream of obstacles made Zhao Wuji somewhat irritable.
Although it doesn't cause any real harm, it's still disgusting that it keeps blocking your eyes and tripping you up.
With the interference of Blue Silver Grass, the constant output of the two archers, and Chen Feng and Zhu Zhuqing occasionally popping up to chip away at the damage, Zhao Wuji's pursuit of Ning Rongrong became increasingly difficult.
"This is annoying! I'll deal with you first!" Zhao Wuji's fourth spirit ring lit up.
The shimmering purple spirit ring flew off his body and instantly landed on Tang San.
Although everyone was interfering with his pursuit of Ning Rongrong, the interference from Tang San was the most annoying, so he planned to deal with this kid who could summon plants first.
Tang San was somewhat puzzled. He felt that the spirit ring had no effect on him, but at that moment, Chen Feng activated his spoiler power.
"That's a lock-on technique! He's trying to use it to get close to you!"
How could they guess that? Is this the skill of an academic master? Zhao Wuji clicked his tongue inwardly in amazement.
The incense stick had already burned halfway down, which made him quite impatient.
Without much hesitation, Zhao Wuji jumped high into the air.
Tang San quickly moved his position, only to find that Zhao Wuji turned around as he moved and was still falling towards him.
"Use the cutting technique!" Chen Feng's voice rang out at this moment.
"Huh?" Tang San was startled. "Now..."
"You can't hurt him!"
Chen Feng's words reminded Tang San. He looked at Zhao Wuji in the sky and stomped his foot on the ground.
In the blink of an eye, dense green plants stretched straight up from the ground, pointing to the sky like sharp swords.
Damn it! These bastards! Seeing this, Zhao Wuji couldn't help but curse in his heart.
If he lands directly with his current defensive capabilities, he might not suffer too much damage, but his lower body will likely suffer some pain.
Even the slightest bit of it was unacceptable to Zhao Wuji as a man.
Left with no other option, he unleashed his fifth soul skill, Gravity Compression.
The black, ten-thousand-year-old soul ring suddenly lit up, and its powerful roar made the entire academy tremble.
Tang San felt immense pressure coming from all directions at the same time, and the upright Blue Silver Grass around him quickly shattered.
At that very moment, two beams of colorful light entered Tang San's body, making him feel much more relaxed.
"First, strength; second, speed." Ning Rongrong, having escaped Zhao Wuji's pursuit, came into play at this moment.
With her blessing, Tang San, though still struggling to move, began to escape by following the Ghost Shadow Cliff.
Zhao Wuji landed beside him with a thud and slapped Tang San. Tang San was unable to dodge due to the force of gravity and was hit squarely by the slap.
Tang Sanfei flew out and fell to the ground, while Zhao Wuji continued his pursuit of the next person without stopping.
Two-thirds of the incense stick has already burned; if he doesn't hurry, he might really lose.
If Zhao Wuji were to spar with a group of children and, even after using his fifth soul skill, still couldn't defeat them within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, it would be incredibly embarrassing if word got out.
After Tang San fell, the situation can be summarized in four words.
Dead by Daylight.
Zhao Wuji was the assassin, while the others were survivors. However, they didn't need to repair the generator; they just needed to survive for a while.
It didn't sound too difficult, but Zhao Wuji was now serious, and the escape was very difficult for everyone due to the influence of gravity.
In order to buy more time, the others began to scatter and flee, and Zhu Zhuqing disappeared from sight.
As for Chen Feng, he started to distance himself when Zhao Wuji locked onto Tang San, and by then he had already run quite a distance.
This battle was an eye-opener for Ma Hongjun, who was watching from the sidelines. He never expected that these newcomers could push Teacher Zhao to this point. Their coordinated efforts were so seamless that they could not have been accomplished without perfect teamwork.
While no one was paying attention, Tang San's injuries began to heal quietly, and it was estimated that he would be able to stand up again soon.
Ning Rongrong was the first to be caught up. When Zhao Wuji came in front of her, she immediately withdrew the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and gave a French military salute.
"I surrender."
Zhao Wuji glared at her, then went to chase after the others. Ning Rongrong also followed the rules and did not bless the others.
Then Chen Feng suffered the consequences. Although he ran a distance, he was still overtaken by Zhao Wuji. After wasting some time, he had no choice but to surrender to avoid further trouble.
Next were Bai Chenxiang and Xiao Wu, who were caught up after using all their strength and became part of the surrendering army.
By this time, the incense stick was almost burned out, but Zhao Wuji hadn't even seen Zhu Zhuqing's face, which made him furious but helpless.
Tang San's re-standing dealt Zhao Wuji the final blow. When he saw Tang San stand up unharmed, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"Are you alright?" Zhao Wuji asked.
Although he didn't use his full strength, he still took a powerful blow from his Vajra Palm. Even if he wasn't seriously injured, he would at least be unconscious for half a day.
In just a short while, this kid actually stood up unharmed.
"Thank you for your mercy, Teacher Zhao," Tang San said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.
"Damn it, I underestimated you guys." Zhao Wuji touched his buzz cut, feeling a little regretful.
If he had known that these kids were all highly skilled, he should have been more serious from the start.
Now that the time has come, there's still one little girl they haven't found. If word gets out, where will Fudo Myoo put his face?
If he had just a little more time, he could have caught the little girl who was hiding by sensing her presence.
Zhao Wuji covered his head and sighed, saying dejectedly:
"Alright, you've passed. Now, that girl, come out too."
As he spoke, he glanced in Chen Feng's direction.
The next moment, Zhu Zhuqing's figure quietly emerged from Chen Feng's shadow and stood behind him.
“I’ll give you just a little more time, and you’ll be able to find me,” Zhu Zhuqing said.
Chapter 95 Hydra
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing emerge from Chen Feng's shadow, Ning Rongrong's good mood, which had been somewhat lifted by passing the test, immediately soured.
