Tang Lan's words made everyone's eyes turn red!
This was...
An opportunity for their Martial Soul to evolve!
There were ten disciples present, while Tang Lan and Zhu Zhuqing were only two.
Tang Lan was a freak, not worth messing with.
But Zhu Zhuqing was just a Soul Elder with three rings!
Even if she absorbed a new soul ring and leveled up, she'd be at most level 31.
If they could defeat just one of them and get a reward...
"Uncle Tang, are you giving out a freebie?" Ning Rongrong cautiously asked. "I don't mean any harm, but there are ten of us. How about you pick one or two more?"
The others nodded in agreement.
The disparity in numbers was too great; it was embarrassing to take the grand prize.
Unexpectedly... Chen Xin was anxious!
This was a chance for Martial Soul evolution!
Although there were quite a few people, a full 10.
But when these words came from Tang Lan's mouth, Chen Xin firmly believed it – if he said he had a way, he definitely did!
This opportunity had to be seized! He spoke up to remind: "Rongrong, if that little girl's soul power wasn't so low, she could probably wipe you all out."
Ning Rongrong: "???"
Everyone: (●—●)●)●) Huh? When did Zhu Zhuqing become so powerful? Even if she had Tang Lan's help and obtained a super awesome soul ring.
That's just a Soul Elder at the third ring.
There are several Soul Elders at the third ring present, how could she possibly take them all out? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! But these words came from Chen Xin. Sword Douluo's reputation is well-established; there's no reason for him to joke with them.
Their brains were practically smoking, unsure how to respond.
Tang Lan stepped forward and briefly explained the matter of the Shadow Demon Cat.
"...So, the Tiger Hawk Left Arm Bone has already been given to Zhu Zhuqing."
"Now, through this lopsided duel, I want you to understand that this is for the benefit of the sect, not for personal gain."
As he spoke.
Tang Lan kept an eye on Tang San – these words were directed at him.
Tang San didn't disappoint.
His face immediately darkened!
That was the soul bone he was counting on!
How could it be given away early?
Even if this opportunity was rare, what did it have to do with him? He just wanted that soul bone!
In contrast,
The only other two competitors, Dai Mubai, appeared very relaxed – his chances weren't high to begin with.
He took the initiative, "Such a good opportunity would be a shame to give up. The interests of the sect come first, I have no objections."
The difference in their perspectives was immediately apparent.
Compared to Tang San's extremely grim expression, the difference was immediately clear.
The newly arrived Shui Binger and the others silently labeled Tang San as "petty" and "narrow-minded."
[Host has made Tang Sect disciples see through Tang San's true colors, causing them to distance themselves. Stealing a small amount of Tang San's luck!] [Reward: "All Soul Bone Years +500"! ]
Oh ho?
This could be done a second time?
Tang Lan suppressed the corners of his mouth, continuing to act—
"Although opportunities are rare, that's no reason for me to break my word."
"I'll add another incentive. Whoever defeats me or Zhu Zhuqing personally, I'll cover all their future soul rings!"
"Absolutely top-of-the-line."
"But if you lose, this Tiger Hawk Left Arm Bone goes to Zhu Zhuqing ahead of schedule."
"Who agrees? Who objects?"
Dai Mubai took the lead. "Sect Master, this new reward is no worse than a ten-thousand-year soul bone. Who could object?"
Everyone turned to Tang San.
What could Tang San do, with things having come to this? Should he let Zhu Zhuqing dig out the soul bone?
He wished he could… But Tang Lan wouldn't agree to that! He could only force a smile. "Brother, it's up to you."
"Since that's the case, we naturally have no objections," Ning Rongrong said with a smile. "Zhuqing, go easy on them!"
Zhu Zhuqing didn't say anything.
She held Tang Lan's hand tightly, her gaze sweeping across everyone's faces.
Tang Lan had already gone this far for her.
He'd nearly fallen out with his own best younger brother.
She had to do this perfectly to be worthy of his sacrifice!
Therefore...
She would show no mercy!
Ning Rongrong received the signal and silently retreated behind the group.
Oscar seized the opportunity to chant a spell, creating a Flying Mushroom Sausage, and tossed it to Ning Rongrong.
In a team battle, the priority was to protect the support.
"Oh? It's starting already," Tang Lan chuckled. "Zhu Zhuqing, go get 'em."
As his words fell,
Zhu Zhuqing leaped forward, launching herself at Huang Yuan, who was closest.
Huang Yuan reacted swiftly, unleashing his Lone Wolf Martial Soul.
However, he didn't notice the shadow of a cat darting out from under Zhu Zhuqing's feet, accelerating low to the ground and flashing past.
"First Soul Skill: Shadow Thrust!"
A line of blood sprayed from Huang Yuan's shoulder, narrowly missing his neck.
Jiang Zhu's healing aura took effect, but it couldn't heal the wound. A churning black energy was at work, causing the injury to continue tearing open.
If that blow had landed on a vital spot... I'd be dead!
Huang Yuan's face was extremely grim.
He was... Just instantly defeated?
The battle continued.
The nimble Jing Ling intercepted Zhu Zhuqing. Remembering Huang Yuan's lesson, he immediately activated his Martial Soul.
His second soul ring on his foot lit up, greatly enhancing his attributes.
At the same time,
A series of Blue Silver Grass was flung out by Tang San using his hidden weapon technique, surging from all directions.
"First Soul Skill: Ice Seal!"
Zhu Zhuqing's body was covered in ice, leaving her with no way to avoid the attack.
Blue Silver Grass wrapped around her, making it more difficult for Zhu Zhuqing to break free.
Dai Mubai, Shui Yue'er, and Meng Yiran arrived, surrounding Zhu Zhuqing.
An easy victory.
But… Who would deliver the final, killing blow?
The group exchanged glances, silently communicating.
Suddenly!
Swoosh——
Zhu Zhuqing vanished before everyone's eyes, but the ice remained completely intact.
"What!"
"Where is she?"
"Gone!"
Everyone looked around frantically.
Chen Xin shook his head and sighed, "Rongrong, you were still too careless!"
At this moment.
Ning Rongrong was about to eat the Flying Mushroom Sausage and sprout her wings to take flight.
But Zhu Zhuqing was a step ahead, emerging from the shadows behind her.
A shadow claw rested on her fair neck.
She whispered in her ear, "You've lost."
It was Zhu Zhuqing's third soul skill – Shadow Step!
It allowed her to travel through shadows, undetectable even by Tang Lan's Blue Silver Domain.
She managed to take out a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile auxiliary soul master, before she even activated her Martial Soul, all while surrounded by bodyguards.
Jing Ling's eyebrows jumped! He had been chasing Ning Rongrong for a long time, but he hadn't even touched her clothes!
You...
While everyone was stunned.
Zhu Zhuqing once again vanished into the shadows, reappearing behind Jiang Zhu, who was more than ten meters away, preparing to repeat her previous move.
"First Soul Skill: Ice Seal!"
Only a hollow ice block remained in place.
She couldn't control Zhu Zhuqing at all!
Shui Binger felt this was tricky.
Her always-effective instant control had finally met its match.
However...
"Second Soul Skill: Ice Ring Armor!"
Including herself, the remaining eight people all had Ice Ring Armor appear on their bodies.
——If I can't control you, then I won't!
"Everyone, back-to-back!" Shui Binger shouted.
Everyone immediately followed suit.
This prevented Zhu Zhuqing from launching another sneak attack.
But... Would this really work?
