Hearing about Ye Yu's Third Soul Skill, everyone was shocked, it was too terrifying!
Ye Yu continued: "The main ability of the Third Soul Skill is getting stronger when facing strong opponents. If the defense is strong, the attack will be even stronger. Against a Soul Master, the defense will increase by a minimum of ten percent and a maximum of eighty percent. It initially increases by twenty percent, and for each additional soul ring, it increases by another twenty percent. So my current enhancement limit is eighty percent. Teacher Zhao is a Soul Saint, and moreover a War Soul Saint. So, for someone like me at level forty, he has incredibly strong defense, which means my attack intensity will increase to the maximum, eighty percent."
Everyone was astonished; this Third Soul Skill indeed became stronger when facing stronger opponents. It wouldn't enhance much against weaker foes. Of course, against weaker ones, there's no need to use this soul skill. The terrifying aspect of this soul skill is that it can exert maximum effect when facing opponents far stronger than oneself.
Moreover, it breaks through defense, and only upon touching the target does the defense drop instantly, making it hard to guard against.
Zhao Wuji exclaimed, "What a terrifying soul skill, no wonder even my Mighty Vajra Palm couldn't withstand it."
The punch that attacked Zhao Wuji earlier had its power stacked four times.
Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasures Glaze Tower provided a thirty percent strength boost, Ye Yu's Second Soul Skill added forty percent strength, then the Third Soul Skill brought the strength to the upper limit and added another eighty percent. Then when attacking Zhao Wuji, it broke thirty-five percent of the defense, making the force against Zhao Wuji's reduced defense even stronger.
With such a series of terrifying amplifications and reductions, combined with Ye Yu's own strength, it became extremely formidable.
Over more than five years, Ye Yu's body had absorbed sixty percent of the soul power, and all aspects of his body had greatly improved. In addition, he had been training in twenty times gravity space, which had made Ye Yu's foundation extremely strong.
The stronger one is, the mightier the enhancement becomes.
Otherwise, if one's strength is equivalent to one, ten times the boost would only be ten. But if one's strength is ten, ten times is one hundred.
This is why Ye Yu wasn't distressed that sixty percent of his soul power was absorbed by his body. Even though he was innately full soul power at level thirty, if the soul power hadn't been absorbed so much, becoming a Soul King wouldn't have been a problem at all.
But the absorption had great benefits, making him exceptionally strong and allowing him to easily fight across levels.
Zhao Wuji regretted it, having been annoyed earlier about why someone could exempt the fourth test directly; now he rather didn't want Ye Yu to participate in the fourth test.
Zhao Wuji coughed lightly and said: "Ye Yu, half an incense stick's time has passed, you've helped them a lot, you can leave now."
Ye Yu asked, "I don't need to take the fourth test?"
Zhao Wuji shook his head: "Of course not, quickly leave."
If Ye Yu continued to help, Tang San and others would pass easily, which wasn't what he wanted.
The reason he took action personally was to see to what extent they could perform. Moreover, to deflate the pride of Tang San and others, preventing them from becoming arrogant just because they are geniuses. There had been past examples of Shrek losing strength progress due to arrogance.
Hands-on and strict, it was intended to make them realize that even as geniuses, with low soul power levels, they were still weak. This approach provided them with motivation to aspire to reach higher levels.
Ye Yu said to Tang San: "Xiao San, then I'll go first, you guys keep working hard."
"Mm!" Tang San nodded heavily.
He also didn't want Ye Yu to continue helping, as that would indeed make him feel no pressure because Ye Yu was too strong.
Ye Yu returned to the cafeteria to enjoy a delicious meal, picking up two freshly roasted chickens for Tang San and Xiao Wu as his first action.
As he ate, Ye Yu thought: "Although Zhao Wuji did this for our benefit, there's also a bit of bullying, feeling quite pleased inside after knocking someone flying twice, so I won't keep getting involved and will leave the rest to him. Tonight, Zhao Wuji will have a hard time."
Ye Yu left, and Zhao Wuji resumed attacking Tang San and the others.
Immediately, the pressure increased significantly for the four of them, and soon Xiao Wu was injured and fainted.
Zhao Wuji sighed: "After that kid left, you guys really fell short, you may be geniuses, but against such a power gap, you couldn't even withstand me for half an incense stick's time."
Seeing Xiao Wu injured and unconscious, Tang San was extremely angry, infusing Profound Celestial Skill into Xiao Wu's body, but to no effect.
Zhao Wuji said: "Don't worry, she's fine, using a confusing-type soul skill against me, but because of the huge power gap, she suffered a backlash instead, she'll be fine after resting for a night."
Despite that, Tang San was still furious.
Next, Tang San proposed a one-on-one duel, if he won, then it would count as all four of them passing.
Zhao Wuji was surprised, is there something else up his sleeve?
Seeing Tang San's confident appearance, Zhao Wuji was quite intrigued: "Fine, then let me see what power you've been hiding."
Tang San clenched his fists tightly, ready to go all out, using hidden weapons!
He remembered deeply the central dictum from the Profound Celestial Treasure Record, about not pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger, as one might indeed turn into a pig.
Earlier, he tried to hide, but it resulted in Xiao Wu getting injured and fainting. If it were a real enemy, the consequences would have been so severe that he would regret it for life.
Tang San's hands turned into a glistening white, with cold streams swirling between his fingers, his head slightly bowed, hiding his now-purple eyes from view.
Zhao Wuji was amazed, sensing that Tang San's aura had undergone subtle changes.
As Tang San utilized hidden weapons, Zhao Wuji found it immediately troublesome, employing the Third Soul Skill, but still unable to defeat Tang San quickly.
A half incense stick's time passed, and Zhao Wuji grew anxious. Even he, the esteemed Unmoving Ming King, found it so difficult dealing with a child nearly twelve years old, would be laughed at by other teachers if word got out.
Zhao Wuji's entire fourth soul ring suddenly lit up, he chuckled with praise: "To force me to use the fourth soul ring, you have enough credentials to be accepted."
Tang San used all his might, after a whole incense stick's time, he was already exhausted, nearly spent.
Tang San was pale, with blood at the corner of his mouth, assisted by Dai Mubai, he felt a heavy pressure on his chest and coughed up another mouthful of blood.
Zhao Wuji also fared poorly, suffering greatly from Tang San's ingenious tactics with unknown hidden weapons.
Although he could kill Tang San instantly with the Fifth Soul Skill given the vast power gap, using four soul rings was already overdoing it, he wouldn't use stronger power.
Tang San knew Zhao Wuji had only used a small part of his full strength, whereas he was fighting desperately, which was why Zhao Wuji suffered. Facing such a huge power gap, sustaining through an incense stick's time meant giving it his all.
Additionally, Xiao Wu's injury and unconsciousness awakened his blood and spirit.
Dai Mubai shouted, "Oscar, you've got business!"
Soon, Oscar came running, eagerly asking, "Boss Dai, where's the business?"
Dai Mubai pointed to Tang San and the others, and Oscar was suddenly stunned.
Except for Ning Rongrong, everyone else was injured, including Zhao Wuji, which amazed Oscar the most.
Tang San didn't eat, nor did Zhu Zhuqing.
Tang San recalled the spell, finding it quite off-putting.
He sat cross-legged, beginning to regulate his breath.
Zhao Wuji, disregarding face, grabbed a Recovery Sausage and an Antitoxic Sausage to eat, his complexion improving considerably.
At this time, Ye Yu also finished eating, looking stern after arriving and seeing the scene.
Seeing Xiao Wu unconscious with blood at the corner of her mouth, leaning on Ning Rongrong, with Tang San also heavily injured and a pool of blood on the ground in front, Ye Yu was immediately infuriated.
With Tang San and Xiao Wu injured, as the boss, he felt he must stand up.
Ye Yu raised his right hand to his right face and looked towards Zhao Wuji, speaking in a deep voice, "Teacher Zhao, now it's my turn to duel you! You can use your first five soul skills, if you can hold on for an incense stick's time, I'll count as losing!"
Upon hearing this, Tang San felt startled, looking towards the voice, and upon seeing Ye Yu's action, his eyes lit up!
"Brother Yu is going to..."
