Chapter 104: Betting on Purple Demon Eye, Tang Hao's Shock
"Yearning Heartbroken Red, the divine-grade treasure among immortal herbs."
Tang San's voice trembled:
"Consuming it can bring the dead back to life, heal flesh and bone, seize the fortune of heaven and earth, and greatly enhance soul power and aptitude."
If he could have Yearning Heartbroken Red recognize him as its master, perhaps he could use its power to successfully sense Xiao Wu's location!
No matter how one looked at it, Yearning Heartbroken Red was exactly what he needed most right now.
For a moment, his once quiet heart began pounding violently again.
"That's right, it's exactly that."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded faintly.
"Then what if we lose?"
Tang San suppressed his excitement and asked in a deep voice.
He had a vague feeling that the stakes wouldn't be light.
Something this valuable, even if Zhu Zhuqing didn't need it, she would never casually put it up as a bet.
"I want all your Tang Sect secret techniques!"
Following Bai Lu's suggestion, Zhu Zhuqing spoke bluntly.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Tang San refused without hesitation.
Tang Sect secret techniques were the foundation of his strength and absolutely could not be passed on!
If they spread, his advantage over others would vanish completely.
"Then I want Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and that eye technique."
Zhu Zhuqing remained calm, her tone unchanged.
"No!"
Tang San still refused. These techniques were all his core reliance.
If Zhu Zhuqing learned Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, then his chances of winning against her would plummet drastically!
"In that case, forget it."
Zhu Zhuqing didn't hesitate at all, turning to leave with Ning Rongrong.
"Wait!"
Tang San hurried after her, his tone urgent:
"You're sure that no matter how we attack, as long as we force out your martial soul, it counts as our win?"
Yearning Heartbroken Red was his only hope of finding Xiao Wu right now.
If he missed it, he might never get another chance. He had no choice but to gamble!
"Of course."
Zhu Zhuqing's expression remained unchanged.
"Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon!"
Tang San gritted his teeth and made his decision:
"I can bet on Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon with you!"
Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track was absolutely not something he could teach.
As for Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, although strong, it didn't actually boost Zhu Zhuqing's combat power much.
Moreover, it required hidden weapons to truly shine.
Zhu Zhuqing stopped and turned to look at him:
"Not enough. Add that eye technique."
"…Fine! I agree!"
Tang San fell silent for a moment before nodding solemnly.
Although Purple Demon Eye was also a top-tier technique, its effects were slow, restrictions many, and requirements high, and it was extremely difficult to cultivate.
"Right, right, this is perfect!"
In the spiritual sea, Bai Lu couldn't help but laugh after guessing Tang San's thoughts.
That's right, Purple Demon Eye did have many limitations.
If cultivated step by step, even with Zhu Zhuqing having consumed Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, her level might not surpass Tang San's by much.
But don't forget, he was a high-level player!
A mere Purple Demon Eye, there was no way he couldn't create an even stronger version!
"When the time comes, combined with my White Tiger Slaughter Art… heh heh~."
Bai Lu could practically already see his spiritual power skyrocketing to the million-year level, achieving demi-god, quasi-god, or even true god-level spiritual power.
Both sides agreed, and they immediately left the city and found an open area to prepare for battle.
"Boss Dai, you handle frontal suppression. Fatty, use flames to seal her movement paths. Oscar, make more Swift Flight Mushroom Sausages. I'll be ready at any time to control and attack with hidden weapons."
Tang San laid out the battle plan with a serious expression.
"Don't worry, I'll go all out from the start!"
Dai Mubai patted Tang San's shoulder and said in a deep voice.
He couldn't block Zhu Zhuqing when she used martial soul possession, but without it, could he still not hold her off?
"Third Brother, don't worry. If Zhu Zhuqing doesn't use martial soul possession, she definitely won't dare to take my evil fire head-on!"
Ma Hongjun thumped his chest confidently.
"Fatty, don't be careless!"
"In this battle, we can only win, not lose!"
Tang San didn't know where Zhu Zhuqing's confidence came from.
But since she dared to propose such an obviously unfair bet, she must have something to rely on.
"Understood!"
The three responded in unison.
"Zhuqing, do your best!"
"Even though you'll definitely win, be careful of Tang San's hidden weapons. Don't get hurt."
Ning Rongrong waved her small fists, already eager to see her four old classmates get beaten badly.
"Stay back; don't get caught in it."
Zhu Zhuqing calmly observed her surroundings.
Unfortunately, with her current ability, she couldn't determine whether Tang Hao was nearby.
"Don't worry. If Tang Hao makes any move, I'll tell you immediately."
Bai Lu reassured her.
"Got it!"
Zhu Zhuqing felt reassured.
Soon, both sides adjusted their states, and the battle was about to erupt!
"I have a mushroom sausage!"
Oscar kept chanting as he tossed Swift Flight Mushroom Sausages to the other three.
He swallowed one himself and shot into the air!
"White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
Dai Mubai ate the sausage, instantly activating martial soul possession as his third soul ring lit up.
His muscles bulged, his aura surged, and he charged toward Zhu Zhuqing in large strides.
"White Tiger Intense Light Wave!"
He opened his mouth and fired a light projectile straight at Zhu Zhuqing.
"Bathing Fire Phoenix, Phoenix Fireline!"
Ma Hongjun activated his martial soul, evil fire swirling around him.
A scorching stream of flames burst from his mouth, burning the air with a piercing sizzling sound.
"Blue Silver Entanglement!"
Tang San summoned the Blue Silver Grass martial soul in his hand. As his soul ring lit up, large patches of Blue Silver Grass shot up from the ground, rushing toward Zhu Zhuqing.
Three attacks—three directions—all to seal off every escape path.
"Too slow!"
Facing the four-person assault, Zhu Zhuqing's expression didn't change.
She pushed off with both feet, her figure flickering into an afterimage as she vanished from her original position, dodging all attacks in an instant.
"So fast! This speed is more than twice what it was before!"
Just as Dai Mubai felt a shock rise in his heart, Zhu Zhuqing had already appeared before him.
She raised her delicate fist and swung it down.
Whoosh—
The wind howled, her momentum overwhelming.
"White Tiger Shield Body Barrier!"
That terrifying pressure made Dai Mubai's heart sink violently.
As his soul ring lit up, golden light burst forth, forming a protective barrier.
He unleashed his full strength, his tiger claw carrying immense force as he struck toward the girl.
"Bang—!"
The moment they made contact, he felt a massive pressure surge toward him.
"Crack—"
His attack was shattered, and the White Tiger Shield Body Barrier broke instantly.
That fist slammed heavily into his chest.
Dai Mubai's eyes widened as his body was sent flying backward at even greater speed.
"Pfft—!"
A mouthful of blood sprayed out, crimson droplets scattering through the air.
Thud!
Dai Mubai crashed heavily to the ground, blood and qi churning, his face pale.
"Cough… how is this poss—"
Before he could finish speaking, his head tilted, and he lost consciousness.
"Instantly defeated?!"
"Dai Mubai at full power… was taken out instantly by a girl without even using martial soul possession?"
"What kind of joke is this?"
Nearby, the Shrek teachers watching the battle were completely stunned.
"This is a monster, a true monster."
Zhao Wuji began to doubt his life.
He had a vague feeling that even if he used his martial soul, his strength might not surpass hers.
"What exactly happened?"
He couldn't understand. In just a few months, others might struggle to gain even one level.
Yet Zhu Zhuqing's physical strength had already risen to a level not weaker than his own.
Was this some kind of cheat?
"With that level of strength, if fully unleashed, she might not be much weaker than I was at the Soul Douluo level back then."
In the shadows, Tang Hao narrowed his single eye, unable to hide the shock in his gaze.
He had intended to secretly observe whether Zhu Zhuqing was the one who stole Ah Yin and kidnapped Xiao Wu.
But he never expected that this girl had already grown to such an extent.
