Chapter 38: A Shocking Statement!
"Wow, fourth brother, you're quite the expert!" Mu Chen teased, following closely behind Qian Yuhan and Hu Lin'er.
Qian Yuhan turned to look at Mu Chen and said, "Get out of the way, this is called... this is called..."
"What's this called, hmm? Hehehe."
Qian Yuhan's cheeks flushed red. She let go of Hu Lin'er's hand, walked over to Mu Chen, and slapped him hard on the shoulder, saying, "Get lost!"
"Hey bro, why didn't you bring your girlfriend?" Mu Chen suddenly turned the topic to Tang Xuan.
"Huh? She's already formed a team. Besides, our group is already full—"
"Should I kick you out?" Tang Chen suddenly retorted.
Mu Chen was taken aback by Tang Chen's sudden remark, "Ugh, no, no. You truly are a good older brother, taking care of your brothers, unlike someone else."
As Mu Chen spoke, he glanced in Qian Yuhan's direction.
Qian Yuhan rolled her eyes in retort.
Amidst this commotion, the group ventured deeper into the forest.
The six walked along chatting and laughing, looking more like they were on a study tour than on a practical training exercise.
Suddenly, a loud noise came from a bush beside them.
siu——siu——
"Wait, it looks like something has surrounded us."
Qian Yuhan suddenly stopped the group from playing around with a serious expression.
Mu Chen quickly shielded Fang Ya beside him, as Fang Ya was the weakest and needed protection.
A purple and two black spirit rings were released from Qian Yuhan's feet, but the spirit rings disappeared in a flash.
"Fourth brother, what were you doing just now?"
"Fourth brother, your spirit ring?"
Standing behind Qian Yuhan, Tang Xuan and Tang Chen felt as if their eyes were playing tricks on them. What had they just seen? Three spirit rings—one purple and two black—rose beneath Qian Yuhan's feet?!
"What's wrong?" Qian Yuhan seemed not to have reacted yet.
But upon hearing Tang Chen mention spirit rings, he immediately remembered that he had forgotten to take his medicine!
"Uh, are you guys seeing things? How could I possibly have such an insane soul ring configuration? That would require an extraordinary talent!"
Looking at her eldest and second eldest brothers standing there with suspicious expressions, Qian Yuhan felt that she might not be able to fool them anymore and was prepared to confess.
Then the two exchanged a glance and nodded. Tang Xuan said, "We knew it! We must have been seeing things, hahaha."
"Prepare to meet the enemy!" Tang Chen reminded Tang Xuan in time, and he also summoned his Earth-Shaking Clear Sky Hammer. Three spirit rings with the best spirit ring ratio of two yellow and one purple appeared under his feet.
Tang Xuan didn't hesitate either. He stomped his right foot on the ground, raised his right hand, and instantly a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky. In Tang Xuan's hand was a Clear Sky Hammer, faintly surrounded by arcs of lightning. This was Tang Xuan's martial soul—the Heavenly Thunder Clear Sky Hammer.
Two yellow spirit rings rose from Tang Xuan's feet. Tang Xuan was showing signs of breaking through to level 30 and wanted to take this opportunity to do so.
Tang Xuan's talent was actually greater than his younger brother Tang Chen's, but because he was always in a relationship with Xiao Yue, he had a lot of time that was wasted in his cultivation.
Fortunately, a few days ago, Tang Chen, Mu Chen, and Qian Yuhan held a small criticism session for him in dormitory 101, which woke him up and allowed him to return to his original daily cultivation routine.
Don't aim for more practice, just aim to maintain the same level as before, but definitely don't aim for less practice.
Tang Xuan's girlfriend, Xiaoyue, also expressed her understanding and support.
We'll talk about how they got together later...
Several Crimson Stone Monkeys suddenly sprang out of the bushes, leaping about on the nearby trees, appearing extremely agitated.
"Oh no, it's the Crimson Demon Stone Monkey!" Fang Ya, who was being protected by Mu Chen, pointed at the monkeys in the trees and said.
"What kind of soul beast is the Crimson Demon Stone Monkey?" Mu Chen asked Fang Ya beside him.
"The Crimson Demon Stone Monkey is a social, soul-like beast that excels at team combat. It is named Crimson Demon Stone Monkey because of its crimson fur and its skeletal, demonic face. This group of monkeys must have a leader who is in charge. If we kill it first, the monkey group will riot and then gradually disband and join other groups."
"How do you know so much? And how could you tell at a glance what kind of spirit beast it was?!"
Mu Chen was shocked to see Fang Ya talking so eloquently to the side.
"It's nothing. I've been able to read since I was little, and I've read some books about spirit beasts in the library at home, so I know..."
Qian Yuhan was also shocked: Although the words were simple and calm, it was precisely this calmness that demonstrated Fang Ya's terrifying knowledge reserves and memory, which enabled her to speak immediately and make a stunning statement when she encountered such a situation in reality!
When God closed one door for Fang Ya, He also opened another window for her!
"Then we need to find the leader hiding in the back," Hu Lin'er said, listening to Fang Ya's words.
"Big brother, you and I attack the left; second brother, you and Lin'er attack the right. Mu Chen, protect Fang Ya!"
Qian Yuhan remained calm in the face of the monkey troop and quickly divided them into simple groups.
Faced with a troop of monkeys on the other side that outnumbers our own, dividing our forces into groups to deal with each other is the most efficient approach. This avoids the possibility of a disparity in combat strength, which could result in the other troop of monkeys flanking us and encircling us.
"Received!" everyone replied.
The Divine Sword of Light appeared in Qian Yuhan's hand, radiating light. In a flash, he charged towards the monkey troop on the left.
Tang Xuan followed closely behind, gathering his strength and leaping into the air. His first yellow spirit ring flashed, "First Spirit Skill: Thunderclap!"
Tang Xuan's Heavenly Thunder Hammer crackled with even stronger electric arcs, as if possessed by the Thunder God, and he slammed it down on the monkey troop directly in front of him.
The monkeys reacted quickly, scattering and moving to dodge.
However, Tang Xuan's Clear Sky Hammer was not to be underestimated. His first soul skill enhanced the lightning attribute of his Clear Sky Hammer, making its area damage even greater than before. It instantly stunned a large group of monkeys.
The monkey troop became even more anxious, and chaos erupted instantly.
In addition, the monkey troop may have been intimidated beforehand, and when they appeared in front of them, they were extremely anxious, as if something terrifying behind them was threatening their lives. They went berserk and ignored the monkeys that had been stunned by the electric shock, and continued to attack the group wildly.
"First Soul Skill: Light Slash!"
Qian Yuhan swung the Divine Sword of Light in his right hand with great force, and a sword aura rushed towards the monkey troop.
"What a fierce attack! The power of this sword energy is so formidable! This sword spirit truly lives up to its name, 'God'!" Tang Xuan thought to himself as he watched Qian Yuhan unleash her first soul skill, sword energy, after just finishing a strike.
During the previous friendly match, Tang Xuan was in the spectator area. Qian Yuhan's first soul skill didn't seem as powerful because the distance was a bit far.
The power of releasing it right next to me—no wonder the Golden Crocodile King's martial spirit defense broke through so easily in the friendly match!
Mu Chen used his second soul skill from the rear to defend against the stragglers that rushed up, only to be bounced back to the front lines on either side, and then they went to meet God.
Behind a tree in the distance, a figure was hiding and watching the battle unfold...
