Chapter 140: Xiao Wu's Strength, Tai Long Gets Kicked Around Like a Ball
Because of the diary reward this time, Zhu Zhuqing's innate soul power was not rank seven but rank ten.
This had definitely triggered Dai Weisi's sensitive nerves. After all, Dai Mubai's innate soul power had only been slightly higher than Dai Weisi's, yet he had already treated him as a thorn in his side and nearly beaten him to death.
Now that Zhu Zhuqing possessed innate full soul power, Dai Weisi had certainly already developed killing intent.
Zhu Zhuyun clenched her fists.
"No! Zhuqing cannot continue staying in the Star Luo Empire!"
"The only way is to send her to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, to Lin Yuan's side. Only then will she truly be safe!"
"Only then will she avoid endless assassination attempts!"
But Zhu Zhuyun hesitated.
Zhuqing was not even seven years old yet.
Letting her travel alone to the unfamiliar Heaven Dou Empire and live there by herself made Zhu Zhuyun, as her older sister, feel deeply uneasy.
Even though she knew Zhuqing possessed the system reward "Teleportation Talisman," which could instantly transfer her a great distance to save her life.
But that kind of loneliness and helplessness...
'Sigh. Thinking too much won't help. I should find a chance to ask Zhuqing what she wants.'
'If she's willing to go, then no matter what, I'll create an opportunity for her.'
…
Sun Buyu and Liu Erlong briefly discussed the competition rules.
"Let's do one-on-one matches," Liu Erlong said calmly. If it were a team battle, the students she had brought would have no chance at all.
"Alright."
Sun Buyu nodded and turned to look at Lin Yuan and the others.
On Blue Tyrant Academy's side, the first person Liu Erlong sent out was the gorilla-like strongman, Tai Long.
"Tai Long, you go first."
Liu Erlong patted Tai Long's broad shoulder.
"Don't be nervous. Just do your best and let them see the strength of Blue Tyrant Academy!"
Tai Long grinned and pounded his chest, producing dull thumping sounds.
"Bang! Bang!"
Then he strode toward the center of the arena.
On the Heaven Dou Academy's side.
Lin Yuan thought for a moment and looked at the eager Xiao Wu beside him.
"Xiao Wu, you take this match."
"The person they sent out is most likely just a strength-type Soul Grandmaster."
"He may look big, but he definitely won't be your opponent."
Lin Yuan lowered his voice and reminded her:
"Try to hold back a little. After all, this is just an exchange competition."
Xiao Wu nodded with a smile.
"Don't worry, brother. I'll go easy on him."
In the arena, the two stood facing each other at a distance.
Tai Long spoke first, his voice rough and deep.
"Tai Long. Martial Soul: Vigorous Orangutan. Rank 27 Power Attack System Soul Grandmaster. Please advise."
After saying that, he looked at the little girl in front of him, who didn't even reach his chest. His brows furrowed slightly with dissatisfaction.
"Hey, I say, is your Heaven Dou Team looking down on me?"
"Why send out a little girl like you?"
"If I accidentally make you cry later, people will say I bully the weak."
Hearing this, Xiao Wu's originally friendly expression instantly turned cold.
She chuckled and placed her hands on her hips.
"What's wrong, big guy? You think you can beat me?"
Xiao Wu clearly felt she was being looked down upon. In her heart, she had already decided to teach him a lesson during the match.
"Xiao Wu. Martial Soul: Soft Bone Rabbit. Rank 27 Power Attack System Soul Grandmaster. Please advise."
"What?!"
Tai Long was shocked. His eyes widened as he stared at Xiao Wu.
"You're at rank 27?! How old are you?"
Before Tai Long could even process the shock, Sun Buyu, acting as referee, had already retreated to the edge of the arena and announced:
"The match begins!"
"Vigorous Orangutan, possess!"
Tai Long didn't dare to be careless and instantly completed his Martial Soul possession.
His body expanded another circle, muscles bulging all over his body.
Two yellow soul rings rose from beneath his feet.
On the opposite side, two soul rings also rose beneath Xiao Wu.
The first was yellow, a hundred-year soul ring.
The second was purple, a thousand-year soul ring!
"What the hell?!"
Tai Long's eyes nearly popped out of his head as he froze in place.
It wasn't just him.
Aside from Lin Yuan, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling, who already knew the situation, everyone present was stunned.
One could even say they were horrified.
The second soul ring was a thousand years one?
How was that possible?
Blue Tyrant Academy's preparation area.
The gentle healing-system soul master Jiang Zhu also lost her composure.
She looked at Liu Erlong beside her, confused.
"Dean, why is her second soul ring a thousand years one?"
"How... did she do it?"
Liu Erlong's pupils shrank slightly as she stared at the soul rings beneath Xiao Wu's feet.
She shook her head, her tone serious.
"This… I don't know either."
But in her heart, she had another guess.
Could it be that the system helped Xiao Wu increase the age of her second soul ring?
Aside from that possibility, she couldn't think of any other explanation.
Meanwhile, in the arena.
Xiao Wu didn't care how shocked everyone else was.
Taking advantage of Tai Long still being stunned, she moved!
"Second Soul Skill: Charm!"
Although Tai Long's body was powerful, his spiritual power was clearly a weakness.
Under this sudden spiritual impact, his eyes immediately became unfocused, and his body stiffened, completely losing his guard.
Xiao Wu appeared in front of Tai Long at incredible speed and unleashed a three-hit Invisible Shadow Kick.
Using the flexibility granted by her Waist Bow, Xiao Wu's legs turned into countless afterimages, striking Tai Long's broad chest like a violent storm!
Tai Long was actually kicked flying by Xiao Wu!
Originally, this attack could have ended with a single strike.
But Tai Long's earlier attitude had been so condescending that it made Xiao Wu very unhappy.
So she kicked him a couple more times.
"Boom!"
Tai Long's massive body crashed heavily onto the floor beneath the arena, sending dust flying everywhere.
His eyes rolled back as he fainted on the spot.
Sun Buyu was also somewhat surprised by Xiao Wu's strength. This was actually the first time he had truly seen her fight.
Originally, he thought that among the seven main members of the Heaven Dou Team, Xiao Wu's strength should be weaker than Yu Tianheng's.
After all, her Martial Soul was only the Soft Bone Rabbit.
But judging from the situation now, Yu Tianheng might not actually be Xiao Wu's opponent!
The main reason was that Xiao Wu's second soul skill was too special.
Charm was an extremely strong control-type skill.
This kind of soul skill relied heavily on spiritual power. As long as Xiao Wu's spiritual power was strong enough, she could completely control her opponent and then finish them with a combo attack.
At this moment, Yu Tianheng, who was sitting in the preparation area, saw this scene, and his face became somewhat ugly.
A strong sense of urgency rose in his heart.
Damn it! Even Lin Yuan's younger sister is this strong!
In this team, he was already no match for Lin Yuan and Dugu Yan.
Being ranked third had already made the heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan feel extremely unhappy, and his pride was wounded.
But now he realized that Xiao Wu might not be weaker than him at all.
She might even be stronger.
How could he possibly accept that?
