Chapter 6 Assessment Begins!
Su Bai took in everyone's reactions.
He smiled slightly, ignoring Tang San, and then spoke to Ning Rongrong and the others:
"Actually, there's not much to say. Teacher Zhao is a Soul Saint. If he gets serious, we're out of luck."
So at first, he mostly played defensively, waiting for us to wear him down, and using this opportunity to see just how strong we were.
Su Bai's tone was extremely confident.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing nodded in agreement. They knew Su Bai was right; facing a Soul Saint, these junior Soul Masters had no chance of winning unless the opponent held back.
"Let me first introduce your abilities," Su Bai continued.
Ning Rongrong spoke first:
"My name is Ning Rongrong, a level 26 support-type Soul Master, and my Martial Soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. My first Soul Skill can increase the strength of my teammates. My second Soul Skill can increase the speed of my teammates."
Zhu Zhuqing continued:
"Zhu Zhuqing, a level 27 agility-attack type Soul Master, whose Martial Soul is the Netherworld Cat. Her first Soul Skill, Netherworld Thrust, instantly increases her speed and attacks with her claws. Her second Soul Skill, Netherworld Hundred Claws, rapidly attacks the same spot, causing high damage."
Her voice was cool and detached, and her introduction was very concise.
Xiao Wu concluded by saying:
"My name is Xiao Wu, a level 29 offensive-type Soul Master, and my Martial Soul is the Soft Bone Rabbit. My first Soul Skill is Waist Bow, which enhances my waist strength and resilience. My second Soul Skill is Charm, which can bewitch enemies."
After Xiao Wu finished her introduction, she glanced at Su Bai somewhat shyly.
Tang San, standing to the side, realized that he was once again being completely ignored by Su Bai.
Su Bai only had the three women introduce their abilities, without mentioning himself at all.
This made Tang San's anger burn even more fiercely.
After listening, Su Bai nodded and gave his instructions:
"Ning Rongrong, you support me well and give me all your buffs. Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, flank and look for opportunities to harass and ambush."
Don't confront him head-on. Teacher Zhao is slow, but his defense and attack are both very high. If he attacks you, you will definitely be seriously injured.
"Just seize the openings he makes and wear him down. Teacher Zhao is judging your strength, so surprise attacks are the way to go."
Su Bai's words were clear and well-organized.
Tang San stood to the side, his body trembling violently; he felt humiliated.
Zhao Wuji, standing to the side, observed everyone's conversation and behavior.
He noticed Tang San's anger and also saw Su Bai's natural leadership within the team, which made him even more interested in Su Bai.
"Okay, let's begin."
Zhao Wuji said in a deep voice. His voice broke the delicate atmosphere on the training ground.
Su Bai took the first step, his right foot lightly touching the ground. Martial Soul power surged within him, and golden light emanated from his body.
"Possessed by a Qilin!"
As Su Bai finished speaking, a majestic golden Qilin phantom flashed and disappeared behind him.
Immediately afterwards, three spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, rose up from beneath his feet.
A powerful surge of soul energy, accompanied by the kingly aura of a Qilin, instantly enveloped the entire training ground.
This oppressive force has a suppressive effect on all martial souls, but it suppresses beast martial souls even more!
Zhao Wuji's expression became even more serious. He hadn't expected Su Bai's Qilin Martial Soul to be so powerful.
Ning Rongrong followed closely behind, standing a little distance behind Su Bai.
"Seven treasures transform into glazed tiles, a seven-jeweled glazed tile pagoda!"
A delicate, seven-colored glazed pagoda appeared in her hands. The pagoda was crystal clear and shimmering with light.
Two spirit rings rose from beneath her feet: yellow and yellow. Ning Rongrong's noble aura instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Xiao Wu nimbly jumped to Su Bai's left, arching her body.
"Soft-boned Rabbit!"
She was surrounded by pink light, and a pair of fluffy rabbit ears appeared on her head.
Two spirit rings appeared beneath her feet: yellow and yellow. Her figure was graceful, exuding a lively aura.
Zhu Zhuqing followed closely, appearing to Su Bai's right, forming a pincer movement with Xiao Wu.
"The Netherworld Cat!"
A dark, eerie light flowed around her, and she lowered her body slightly, like a hunter waiting for his chance.
A pair of sharp claws shot out from her fingertips, gleaming with a cold light. Yellow, yellow—two spirit rings appeared in quick succession.
Tang San stood at the back of the team, his face still showing resentment, but he knew this was not the time to dwell on such things. He suppressed his dissatisfaction and channeled his soul power into his body.
"Martial Soul, Blue Silver Grass!"
Blue light shone around him, and countless blue silver grass vines grew from the ground beneath his feet, spreading rapidly.
Yellow, yellow, two spirit rings slowly rotated beneath his feet.
Each of the five possessed their own martial spirit, and all their spirit rings were revealed. In an instant, spirit power surged across the training ground, and lights of various colors intertwined.
Zhao Wuji looked at the five students in front of him.
He moved slightly, and a layer of dark yellow light rose from his body.
A layer of fur instantly covered his body, and his body swelled up, his muscles bulging.
"Mighty King Kong Bear, possess me!"
The next moment, seven spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and three black—spun around beneath his feet.
A powerful sense of oppressive soul force swept over everything.
Su Bai felt the oppressive aura, but his heart remained calm. He knew that Zhao Wuji had not yet used his full strength; he was merely demonstrating.
What I need to do is to endure this incense stick's time while Zhao Wuji is not serious, or rather, has no opportunity to be serious.
Su Bai nodded slightly to Ning Rongrong behind him, signaling her to begin assisting.
Ning Rongrong understood, raised her hands, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda released its first beam of light. The golden beam of light fell on Su Bai.
"The seven treasures have names: first, strength! Second, speed!"
Su Bai immediately felt a surge of power enter his body, amplifying his strength.
Immediately afterwards, a green light fell on Su Bai, and his speed was also increased.
Ning Rongrong's boost also affected Su Bai, instantly increasing his combat power once again.
Battle is imminent.
Zhao Wuji did not launch an attack immediately; he simply stood still, suppressing the five people with the aura of a Soul Saint.
Su Bai understood Zhao Wuji's plan, but he did not choose to delay.
"Make your move!" Su Bai shouted.
His second spirit ring shone with purple light.
"Second Soul Skill, Auspicious Qilin Protection!"
A golden phantom of a Qilin reappeared behind him and then possessed him.
A solid golden light shield covered his entire body, and Su Bai felt a surge in power and defense.
The aura surrounding the body provides additional resistance to attacks of darkness and evil attributes.
Su Bai's body sank slightly, then he suddenly rushed forward.
Su Bai was incredibly fast; he was like a golden lightning bolt, rushing straight at Zhao Wuji.
He chose to confront Zhao Wuji head-on, using his Qilin Martial Soul to counter the Mighty Vajra Bear, and engaged in close combat before Zhao Wuji could get serious.
Seeing this, Zhao Wuji's lips curled up.
"First Soul Skill, Immovable King Body!"
