Diary—Chapter 22: A big opening is considered a small opening, a small opening is not considered an opening
Zhu Zhuqing had no objection to Luo Ye's arrangement.
To be precise, now she wouldn't say she would obey Luo Ye's words, but at least she wouldn't reject his proposal.
Tang San thought about it and felt that his arrangement made sense, so he nodded and agreed, while still giving instructions to Xiao Wu:
"Xiao Wu, you must be careful later. After all, Mr. Zhao is a Soul Sage-level expert. Even if he won't use his full strength in the assessment, there's still some danger."
Xiao Wu nodded silently.
"Got it."
If it had been in the past, Xiao Wu would have been very happy to see Tang San's concern.
But ever since she read Luo Ye's diary, she couldn't help but wonder if Tang San's concern was just an act—whether he had any ulterior motives or conspiracy towards her.
Although she doesn't completely believe Luo Ye's diary now, once the seeds of doubt are planted, it's not easy to regain trust.
"Have you discussed it? It's time."
Hearing Zhao Wuji's voice, everyone turned their heads simultaneously and saw that the incense stick had burned out.
Luo Ye responded upon seeing this:
"It's time to start."
Zhao Wuji nodded and stood up. He clenched his large fists and began to move his body. The teeth-grinding sound of bones cracking added a sense of pressure.
After completing these actions, Zhao Wuji took out another stick of incense.
Before he could light it, Ning Rongrong suddenly shouted:
"Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda."
Dazzling, colorful light erupted from Ning Rongrong's body. Where the light gathered, a small colorful pagoda about a foot high appeared in her palm, and two yellow soul rings slowly rose from beneath her feet.
"The seven treasures have names. The first is: Power!"
"The second is: Speed!"
Colorful light burst forth from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, penetrating the bodies of Luo Ye, Zhu Zhuqing, Tang San, and Xiao Wu, making them feel that their strength and speed had been significantly improved.
Seeing this, Zhao Wuji looked at Ning Rongrong with some surprise:
"Wow, there is a person from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect among this year's candidates? Not bad, not bad. Flanders will be very happy when he finds out."
It's not because of Ning Rongrong's talent, but because the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is so wealthy that any amount of money would be enough for Shrek to survive.
With Flanders' stingy and greedy nature, he would never miss this opportunity.
However, before entering Shrek Academy, their pride must be crushed. Only in this way can they be obedient in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhao Wuji bent his knees, squatted down, clenched his fists, and slammed them hard onto the ground.
Boom!
Accompanied by a muffled sound, the ground beneath his feet shook violently, and a circle of earth-yellow waves spread rapidly toward Luo Ye and the others, following the rhythm of the ground.
The reason Zhao Wuji did this was to interrupt the amplification effect of Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.
But before he smashed his fists into the ground, Luo Ye had already activated the spiritual detection and sharing abilities among the four soul skills granted by the sacrifice of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, establishing a connection with them.
When they felt everything in front of them become extremely clear—like their perspective and lock had been opened—the subtle details were visible at a glance. After discovering Zhao Wuji's flaws, everyone couldn't help but be shocked—more than when they received Ning Rongrong's soul-skill amplification.
"Is this your soul skill?"
Tang San turned to look at Luo Ye, noticing a golden glow around his deep blue eyes. It was obvious that this was caused by Luo Ye.
It was precisely because of the effects of spiritual detection and spiritual sharing that, as soon as Zhao Wuji made a move, the five of them immediately realized their target.
Luo Ye rushed to Ning Rongrong's side, grabbed her shoulder with one hand, stomped his legs hard, and leaped into the air with her.
Tang San and Xiao Wu jumped simultaneously, while Zhu Zhuqing dodged to the side with her speed, easily avoiding the tremor in the earth.
Zhao Wuji raised his eyebrows and muttered upon seeing this:
"You react pretty quickly."
At this moment, Xiao Wu, the main attacker, fell from the sky and stomped hard on Zhao Wuji's body.
But for Zhao Wuji, known as Immovable King, this little bit of power was no different from tickling.
Just as he was about to say something sarcastic, he suddenly felt numb all over his body—thorny vines madly clung to him.
At the same time, Xiao Wu exerted force, and Zhu Zhuqing also rushed over.
With the help of Ning Rongrong's power amplification, the combined strength of the two women, plus Tang San's Blue Silver Grass, caused Zhao Wuji's massive body to fall to the ground with a loud crash.
Seeing this, Dai Mubai on the side couldn't help but widen his eyes.
No, Teacher Zhao isn't going to let them off, right?
Even if you want to give in to them, this is too much, isn't it?
Besides, he could understand why Ning Rongrong had been hiding behind. After all, auxiliary martial souls like the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda were generally considered to have no combat power.
What is that guy Luo Ye doing?
Why is he hiding so far away?
What? Do you want to win without doing anything?
Dai Mubai was furious, thinking in his heart that after the assessment was over, he would severely humiliate Luo Ye.
But at this moment, Zhao Wuji's low roar drew his attention.
Zhao Wuji's exaggerated muscles expanded more than twice as much, making him look even more muscular.
The blue silver grass and vines that had originally entangled him shattered into countless pieces.
Seven gorgeous soul rings rose from beneath his feet: two yellow, two purple, and three black—demonstrating his strength as a Soul Saint.
Zhao Wuji grinned and said:
"Have you had enough fun? Now it's my turn!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Wuji prepared to attack Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu, who were closest to him. The two women were startled and tried to dodge quickly.
However, what they didn't expect was that Zhao Wuji froze in place as soon as he swung his fist as if his body had become rigid.
"Get started!"
Following Luo Ye's loud shout, they reacted instantly, realizing this was Luo Ye's handiwork.
Especially with the help of spiritual detection and sharing, Zhao Wuji's figure seems full of flaws all over his body.
Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Tang San no longer held back and unleashed their strongest attacks simultaneously.
A roar echoed through the sky as Zhao Wuji's body was blown away. After spinning dozens of times in the air, he finally crashed heavily to the ground.
He lay there for a long time before regaining consciousness. When he stood up and prepared to continue his attack, he heard Luo Ye's smiling voice:
"Teacher Zhao, the time is up."
