Chapter 36: Equilibrium, Extreme Sect.
"Ah, Xiao Wu!"
Seeing Xiao Wu coughing up blood and fainting, Tang San's eyes turned red in an instant.
He had promised to protect Xiao Wu from harm.
He had said that if anyone dared to harm Xiao Wu, he would have to step over his corpse!
Various memories flashed through Tang San's mind in an instant.
"Kid, this girl just suffered a backlash from her own soul skill, she'll be fine after resting for two days."
Zhao Wuji embraced himself and said indifferently.
Xiao Wu brought this upon herself by releasing a mental attack against a seventy-sixth level Soul Saint. She was just being reckless!
Besides, he didn't even resist; Xiao Wu was injured by her own backlash.
If he had unleashed a bit of his spiritual power, this girl might have been disabled, turned into an idiot.
"Why, why weren't you enchanted? Why did you let Xiao Wu suffer the backlash!"
Tang San roared in anger, holding Xiao Wu tightly in his arms, his fists clenched tightly.
Ignoring the gaze of the crowd, Zhao Wuji said to himself, "The incense has burned out, but you all couldn't endure it..."
Zhao Wuji still valued these children. They were the most talented group to enter Shrek Academy in recent years.
Elimination was out of the question. Since they had come, they should stay in Shrek Academy!
Just as Zhao Wuji was about to say something and find a reason for everyone to stay, Tang San, who had been silent, spoke up, "Teacher Zhao, I want to have a one-on-one Spirit Duel with you, still limited to one stick of incense."
"If I lose, the four of us will leave together."
"If by chance I manage to hold on for one stick of incense, then all four of us will stay."
Tang San's indifferent tone caught Zhao Wuji off guard. A Spirit Duel with him alone?
Were these siblings both out of their minds?
Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong: "???"
No, why should we be involved just because you, Tang San, want to have a Spirit Duel with Zhao Wuji?
Previously, when Tang San took on the temporary captaincy, the two of them didn't have much fondness for him.
Ning Rongrong suddenly remembered that Tang San had seemed to "save" her just now, but upon thinking of this, she remained silent. However, she didn't have much affection for Tang San anymore.
Shouldn't you discuss this kind of thing beforehand?
"Alright!"
Zhao Wuji nodded, a cruel smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. It was time for Tang San to understand the dangers of the Spirit Master world!
Just because you reached level twenty-nine at such a young age doesn't mean you can act recklessly and directly provoke a Soul Saint-level expert.
Tang San, placed in the Spirit Master world, probably wouldn't survive three days!
The dignity of a strong individual must not be insulted, let alone provoked!
"I'll give you a chance."
After saying this, Zhao Wuji took out another incense from somewhere, looking at it blankly. Was selling incense his side business or what?
After receiving a response, Tang San picked up Xiao Wu and walked towards Ning Rongrong, saying, "Could you please take care of Xiao Wu for me?"
"Okay."
Ning Rongrong nodded in agreement, catching the fainting Xiao Wu and then letting her down gently to lie flat on the ground.
Tang San nodded, considering it a thank you. Then he walked towards Zhao Wuji until the two were twenty meters apart, where he stopped.
From Tang San's previous observations, he found that Zhao Wuji was indeed as Dai Mubai had described, not good at speed. As long as he maintained a certain distance, with the Tang Sect techniques and hidden weapons, he, Tang San, had a chance of winning.
If someone dared to harm Xiao Wu, Zhao Wuji would have to pay the price!
A faint purple light emanated from Tang San's red eyes. This was Tang San using one of the Tang Sect's ultimate techniques, the Purple Demon Eyes!
He didn't release his martial soul but instead made a gesture on the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges. Instantly, some cold glinting weapons appeared in Tang San's hands under the sunlight.
Seeing this, Zhao Wuji didn't mind. Could these ordinary weapons break through his defense?
Since he wanted to teach Tang San a lesson, Zhao Wuji naturally wouldn't refrain from releasing his martial soul.
Instantly, his martial soul manifested, and at the same time, Tang San's hidden weapons arrived in front of Zhao Wuji.
"Ding... Ding..."
In a short period, dozens of hidden weapons came whistling through the air, attacking Zhao Wuji's protective aura.
"Hmm, poisonous?"
Looking at those "weapons" lying on the ground, as soon as they touched a Blue Silver Grass, the Blue Silver Grass immediately changed color, followed by...
"This kid is quite ruthless..."
"Weird attack method, poisonous weapons, hmph. Typical of small-minded people..."
Zhao Wuji murmured, snorting coldly. His soul power instantly erupted, rushing towards Tang San's direction.
Speed was indeed his weakness, but that depended on who he was dealing with!
Almost in an instant, Zhao Wuji arrived in front of Tang San.
"Second Spirit Ability: Great Strength Diamond Palm!"
Faced with Zhao Wuji's Great Strength Diamond Palm, Tang San's pupils shrank, and he instantly activated Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, narrowly avoiding Zhao Wuji's attack.
"?
Zhao Wuji was stunned, somewhat puzzled. How could a mere Spirit Master avoid his strike?
Regardless of whether Zhao Wuji was bewildered or not, Tang San didn't care. He distanced himself from Zhao Wuji once again, while continuously bringing out hidden weapons from the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges, launching attacks at Zhao Wuji.
In this Spirit Duel, he couldn't afford to lose no matter what!
"First Spirit Ability, Unmoving King's Body!"
Golden light radiated from Zhao Wuji's body. If physical attacks were used against him at this moment, they would be rebounded by these golden lights.
After unleashing the Unmoving King's Body, Zhao Wuji's defensive capability was raised by a notch.
"Kid, I want to see how you're going to escape next!"
Gritting his teeth, Zhao Wuji, who had initially intended to give this kid some face, decided against it since he didn't want it. He was someone who didn't fear anyone or anything, which led to him offending both the Spirit Hall and the Strength Clan.
Now dealing with a junior, what did he have to fear?
"Third Spirit Ability, Gravity Amplification!"
This was Zhao Wuji's first thousand-year Spirit Ability, capable of controlling gravity to restrict the opponent's movements.
Although his speed was slow, he could compensate for this deficiency from other aspects!
Gravity, positioning, sound waves...
Spirit Masters were broadly divided into two schools of thought: Balanced Sect and Extreme Sect.
The Balanced Sect didn't excel in any particular aspect but was very comprehensive, trying to compensate for its own shortcomings as much as possible by obtaining appropriate spirit rings.
The Extreme Sect, on the other hand, was just the opposite. It mainly developed in the direction in which it excelled the most. The four major affiliated clans of the Haotian Sect were representatives of the Extreme Sect.
They were divided into Power, Defense, Agility, and Assault.
Both schools had their own merits; it's hard to say who was better or worse...
Zhao Wuji followed the Balanced Sect. His defense was already top-notch among Soul Masters of the same level. Continuing to enhance defense, instead of strength, wasn't appealing. This was also why he seemed to be somewhat proficient in everything but couldn't be considered top-notch.
"This Zhao Wuji is also quite a talent. If he could be recruited for our use, the training of the younger generation..."
