"Teacher, isn't this a bit unfair?" Tang San scratched his head and said with a smile.
"Control-type Soul Masters are countered by agility-type Soul Masters, and Zhuqing is one Soul Ring less than me."
Tang San now roughly understood Grandmaster's purpose: to establish his authority in front of his classmates. However, his pride prevented him from swallowing his pride.
In Tang San's view, this sparring match was purely bullying.
Dai Mubai and the other two stood aside, and from their relaxed expressions, it was clear that no one was optimistic about the combination of Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.
After all, Tang San, at the Great Soul Master stage, could fight Zhao Wuji to a standstill.
Even without using special hidden weapons, his footwork alone was fast enough to match that of an average agility-type Soul Master.
Everyone knew the power of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda for Ning Rongrong.
But Zhu Zhuqing?
Everyone still had doubts about this transfer student.
Yu Xiaogang pondered for a moment, then said, "Where on the battlefield is there absolute fairness? Now, let me confirm again, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, are you sure you want to accept the challenge?"
Zhu Zhuqing didn't answer, but her actions revealed her thoughts.
A dense black soul power erupted from her body, and her eyes changed color simultaneously, her left eye becoming dark green and her right eye clear blue. Her adorable cat ears perked up slightly, and her ten fingers flicked, unleashing sharp, spike-like claws.
Two yellow soul rings hovered around her, slowly floating.
"Zhu Zhuqing, a level 28 agility-type Great Soul Master, please enlighten me!"
Zhu Zhuqing was present when Tang San instantly defeated a Soul Venerable in the grove. She naturally understood that, at full strength, she couldn't possibly be Tang San's match.
But without using those special weapons,
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and a flame suddenly rose from the depths of her eyes.
Tang San immediately felt a chilling aura rush towards him; in that instant, he felt as if he were being targeted by a cheetah.
He shook his body, and a small, emerald-green blade of grass appeared in his right palm. "Tang San, a level 31 Control-type Soul Master, please enlighten me!"
As his soul power surged, three soul rings—two yellow and one purple—quietly emerged. Long
, dark blue vines spread along the ground, like large, dark blue snakes, silently undulating and covering a ten-meter diameter area around Tang San's body.
"Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda!"
Ning Rongrong's body spun gracefully once, releasing dazzling seven-colored light from her body, condensing into a seven-colored pagoda over a foot tall in her right palm.
Two yellow soul rings rose from beneath her feet, quietly swirling around her.
"Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda! It really is the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda!" Yu Xiaogang looked at the dazzling pagoda in Ning Rongrong's hand, unable to help but exclaim inwardly.
At the same time, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes as he looked at Ning Rongrong.
"This disciple of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is indeed worthy of my guidance," Yu Xiaogang mused to himself.
"Ahem."
Yu Xiaogang coughed lightly and said loudly, "The fighting area must not exceed the playground, otherwise you will be judged as having lost. Tang San, you don't need to attack Ning Rongrong, let her support you as much as she wants."
After saying that, he took out an incense stick, stuck it in the ground, and lit it.
"The match begins!" After
Yu Xiaogang's voice fell, none of them made a move immediately.
Zhu Zhuqing lowered her body, coldly staring at Tang San, as if looking at her prey.
Tang San looked at Zhu Zhuqing calmly, he was not in a hurry at all. Although the match had not started, Tang San knew that he had already won.
As a control-type Soul Master, he was inherently superior to Zhu Zhuqing's agility-type, especially under the limited fighting area.
This battle was never in suspense from the beginning.
However, as Yu Xiaogang's disciple, Tang San naturally had to protect his teacher's reputation.
In this match, he not only had to win, but he had to win beautifully!
The next moment, Tang San moved.
He took several steps in succession, his body suddenly sprang up, and pounced on Zhu Zhuqing from the front.
At the same time, everyone present clearly saw that the Blue Silver Grass rose up from all directions, like a giant cage, enveloping Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes turned cold, her entire body covered in surging soul power. With a wave of her hands, she deflected the vines that rushed towards her.
She had originally planned to cut these thick vines formed by the Blue Silver Grass directly.
But she was surprised to find that these vines were extremely tough, and even with her level 28 soul power, she could not completely cut them.
"Retreat!"
Zhu Zhuqing made a decision instantly.
Her first soul ring shone, a faint soul power covered her entire body, and her figure became blurred.
At the same time, a beam of seven-colored light entered her body, and Zhu Zhuqing's speed suddenly increased dramatically, instantly widening the distance between her and Tang San.
Everyone looked towards the sidelines and saw Ning Rongrong's second spirit ring shining brightly, clearly indicating that she had used her second spirit skill.
"That speed, so fast!"
Tang San looked at Zhu Zhuqing in front of him, his expression becoming slightly more serious.
His spirit power surged, and his Xuan Tian Gong was activated to its limit.
The next moment, he took several steps in succession, seemingly containing some kind of hidden pattern. Immediately afterwards, the carbon rod, accompanied by a series of afterimages, attacked Zhu Zhuqing.
At the same time, a white jade color covered his hands.
"This footwork seems somewhat familiar?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Tang San approaching and frowned slightly.
Even if the opponent's spirit power was higher, how dare a control-type spirit master charge at an agility-type spirit master?
Zhu Zhuqing felt insulted.
The next moment, her figure suddenly accelerated, and her second spirit ring lit up directly. The sharp claws attached to her ten fingers simultaneously shot out, grabbing at Tang San's body.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's movements, Tang San didn't dodge. Instead, he raised his hand vertically, forming a blade, and directly met her attack.
Yu Xiaogang frowned deeply as he watched Tang San's attack.
In his plan, Tang San should have used the advantages of his Blue Silver Grass spirit, employing the Entangling and Parasitic spirit rings to gradually defeat Zhu Zhuqing, step by step.
Instead, he was directly confronting her head-on.
"Clang!"
A crisp sound of impact rang out.
Zhu Zhuqing felt as if she had struck a piece of jade. She looked at Tang San's hands, her eyes turning cold, but her attacks didn't stop.
"Clang!" Another collision sounded.
Zhu Zhuqing realized that Tang San had definitely practiced some kind of spirit skill, just like his footwork.
"Could it be that Lu Feng taught him?"
A thought suddenly popped into Zhu Zhuqing's mind.
The next moment, her eyes turned cold, and her high-speed movement suddenly slowed down. She slammed her feet into the ground, exerted force from her waist, and unleashed another sharp claw strike.
"Clang!" The third strike.
A faint purple hue crept into Tang San's eyes. To others, Zhu Zhuqing's speed seemed incredible, but with his Purple Demon Eyes, honed through years of training in hidden weapons, how could he not see clearly?
Ghostly Shadow Steps followed in quick succession, and Tang San's body escaped Zhu Zhuqing's attack range.
A claw strike missed, barely grazing Tang San's body.
Simultaneously, countless Blue Silver Grasses swept in, encircling Zhu Zhuqing's calves and waist.
Facing the overwhelming Blue Silver Grass, Zhu Zhuqing didn't dodge. She remained rooted to the spot, her claws gleaming with a bright silver light, cutting through the oncoming vines.
The once incredibly resilient vines, under Zhu Zhuqing's second soul skill, became as fragile as ordinary grass, and blades of grass flew across the playground.
Seeing this, Tang San no longer hesitated. Taking advantage of the gap in Zhu Zhuqing's attack, he unleashed his Mysterious Jade Hand.
Although he could manipulate the Blue Silver Grass to wear down his opponent, Tang San felt that this was somewhat unfair, and his opponent might not accept defeat.
Secondly, excessive damage to the Blue Silver Grass spirit would also affect him.
If facing Ma Hongjun, or other fire, ice, or lightning attribute spirit masters, Tang San wouldn't use such a large-scale entangling method.
Watching Zhu Zhuqing's actions, Dai Mubai shook his head slightly.
In his opinion, Zhu Zhuqing had already lost this match. Although she looked imposing now, wasting most of her spirit power cutting the Blue Silver Grass was less effective than directly attacking Tang San himself.
On the other side, Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back. He coldly watched Zhu Zhuqing, seemingly considering how to train her in the future.
At this moment, a beam of seven-colored light entered Zhu Zhuqing's body. She immediately felt her whole body filled with power, even her spirit power seemed to boil.
Ning Rongrong stood by the playground, looking at her best friend with worry.
She raised her hands to her mouth, making a megaphone shape, and shouted, "Zhuqing, my happiness for the rest of my life depends on you! You must win!"
"Clang!" Another crisp sound rang out.
Tang San frowned slightly; he had actually felt a slight pain from that attack.
