Chapter 188 Graphite and Millstone, Come and Help Me!
After Zhu Zhuyun finished speaking, she and Zhu Zhuqing rushed out together. Their speed was as fast as lightning, leaving behind a series of afterimages.
Upon seeing this, Dai Mubai and the Shi brothers' expressions changed drastically. "This is bad, stop them quickly!"
The three instantly went into a state of high alert, rushing to the front and attempting to fight the two assassins with their combined strength. However, Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing didn't take them seriously at all, and with a flash, they bypassed them.
Dai Mubai and the Shi brothers didn't even have time to react. After all, the girls of Blue Tyrant Academy often trained in the gravity training room, and five times the gravity was already commonplace for them, as simple as eating and drinking.
The improvements brought about by this high-intensity training were naturally enormous. Not only were their muscles and bones strengthened, but their internal organs, blood vessels, and even cells were greatly enhanced, making the women's physical attributes extremely powerful and their speed incredibly fast. In particular, Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing, the two agility-type soul masters, were as fast as lightning even without using their soul skills.
This is incomparable to Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others carrying stones and running under Yu Xiaogang's command.
As Yu Yuanzhen's granddaughter-in-law, the women of Lanba Academy consume astronomical amounts of resources daily. Their highly efficient training methods and expensive medicinal baths are never interrupted.
As the saying goes, "the poor study literature, the rich study martial arts," and the girls of Blue Tyrant Academy improved their strength extremely quickly under such superior conditions, far surpassing what the original Shrek Academy could offer.
The original Shrek Academy was a place that wasted students' talents and depleted its resources. It was only thanks to their arrival at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy that their training environment improved considerably. In fact, they've only been able to "eat their fill" for a little over a year.
In the original story, Shrek Academy's strength was almost entirely due to the enhancement brought by the immortal herbs. Without these herbs, their future would not even be as bright as that of Huo Wu and Feng Xiaotian.
They can say they have Yu Xiaogang to thank for being able to come to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. At least in terms of education, Yu Xiaogang is much more conscientious than Flander, regardless of what he thinks in his heart, judging by his actions rather than his intentions.
If it weren't for Yu Xiaogang's strong efforts to bring this together, Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others would still be wasting their talents at Shrek Academy, and they wouldn't even have been qualified to participate in this competition.
Flander's educational abilities are hard to describe. He's arrogant and unwilling to bow to reality, yet incredibly mercenary—a very contradictory personality. He's ruined quite a few geniuses. Qin Ming's ability to stand out shows just how high his talent must be; he might very well be born with full soul power.
On the other side!
When Tang San saw Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing cross Dai Mubai and the Shi brothers' defenses, he was immediately surprised, but he did not panic too much.
He quietly activated his Purple Demon Eye. Although the two kittens were extremely fast, Tang San was still able to find their tracks.
Tang San instantly understood their intentions and quickly pulled the Blue Silver Grass back, dragging Dai Mubai and the Shi brothers back. A sinister smile crept onto his lips. "Going so deep into enemy territory alone is simply courting death. Soul Venerable versus Soul King, let you be the ones to establish my reputation."
Zhu Zhuyun merely glanced at Tang San, seemingly aware of his thoughts. She nodded slightly to Zhu Zhuqing; the two sisters understood each other perfectly, and Zhu Zhuqing instantly grasped her elder sister's meaning.
So, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly changed direction and rushed towards Tang San.
"Third Soul Skill - Shadow Strike!"
"First Soul Skill - Netherworld Thrust!"
Zhu Zhuqing used her first and third soul skills instantly while running, and her speed increased several times over.
This surprised Tang San greatly; he hadn't expected Zhu Zhuqing to be so fast. He wasn't unfamiliar with attack-type Soul Masters, and although Zhu Zhuqing was a Soul Master, he had assumed that her speed was at most slightly faster than Oslo's, but not by much.
But at this moment, Zhu Zhuqing's speed was almost like teleportation, so much so that even his Purple Demon Eyes couldn't keep up with her.
Tang San suddenly realized he might have been careless. At that moment, he couldn't care less about anyone else; judging from Zhu Zhuqing's burst of speed, he estimated that her attack wouldn't be weak either.
"Third Soul Skill - Blue Silver Serpent Binding!"
Tang San instantly unleashed his third soul skill, sending forth a large number of blue silver grasses, each as thick as a bowl, towards the path between him and Zhu Zhuqing. These blue silver grasses were vastly different from ordinary blue silver grasses, their entire bodies a purplish-black color, clearly containing poison. They covered Zhu Zhuqing, attempting to entangle and bind her.
Zhu Zhuqing remained expressionless. She had also spent time at Shrek Academy with Yu Tianyun and had some understanding of Tang San's soul skills. She didn't let her guard down, sparing no effort to expend her soul power to completely envelop herself.
Then, sharp blades shot out from the cat's paws, and a hissing sound rang out continuously. In an instant, the blue silver grass turned into wood chips flying everywhere.
Tang San was somewhat resentful that his Blue Silver Grass spirit hadn't lasted long enough. "The Blue Silver Grass spirit is still too weak. Even with the addition of the Mandragora Serpent spirit ring, which improved its toughness, it's still difficult to stop a spirit master who is a level higher than me."
However, Tang San did not lose his composure; his eyes blazed with purple light. Although the Blue Silver Grass had not successfully stopped Zhu Zhuqing, it had bought him time to react. His hands instantly turned a translucent white, like jade, as he prepared to engage Zhu Zhuqing in close combat.
Immediately afterwards, the cat's paw and Xuan Yu's hand met, and the sound of metal clashing rang out.
At this moment, Tang San's advantages came into play.
Because Zhu Zhuqing's movement speed had slowed down at this moment. After all, she had been blocked by the Blue Silver Grass, which slowed her down, and the distance between the two was too short for her to accelerate.
Therefore, with the enhancement of his Purple Demon Eye, Tang San could see Zhu Zhuqing's movements clearly. Even though his speed was still weaker than Zhu Zhuqing's, he was still able to easily deal with her current state thanks to the uncanny agility of his Ghost Shadow Phantom.
He figured that if he could hold out until Dai Mubai and the Shi brothers returned to defend, then it would be his turn to counterattack. He was confident he could eliminate Zhu Zhuqing first, thinking to himself, "Four against one, the advantage is in my hands."
However, while the idea was appealing, reality was harsh.
As Dai Mubai was rushing back, he suddenly felt a sharp, stabbing pain in his back.
He quickly turned around to look and saw a woman who seemed to have turned to the dark side rushing towards him—a true physical transformation. She wielded a thick, dark iron spear, its massive head gleaming with a chilling light, and four dazzling spirit rings encircling its shaft.
It was Yang Ruolin herself.
How could she possibly let Dai Mubai and the others return as they wished?
She emanated a black aura and charged forward, wielding the Soul-Shattering Spear. Her eyes flashed with a ruthless, iron-blooded gaze as she stared intently at Dai Mubai.
The two defensive-type Soul Masters posed little threat to Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing, as the two sisters could easily dodge them using their speed. However, Dai Mubai was a much greater threat, since the two were agility-type Soul Masters, and being hit head-on by Dai Mubai would be very difficult. Therefore, her primary objective was to intercept Dai Mubai and buy time for Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing to gain an advantage.
Looking at Yang Ruolin, who was radiating black light, Dai Mubai felt a chill run down his spine. When he saw the thick, dark iron spear, which resembled a giant black python, he felt extremely threatened. He thought that if he were to be stabbed by that thick iron spear, he might be finished.
At this moment, he also sensed Yang Ruolin's powerful soul force, whose realm was definitely much higher than his own.
But Yang Ruolin's presence gave him more than just that. He noticed that when Yang Ruolin grasped her thick, dark iron spear, she became completely different. It was as if all her emotional changes had vanished, and her entire being was focused on the spear in her hand.
Upon discovering this, Dai Mubai's expression immediately turned extremely serious, and his eyelids twitched. His rich combat experience told him that Yang Ruolin before him was completely different from the opponents he had encountered in the Great Soul Arena before.
Being able to focus entirely on her martial spirit, with nothing but her spear, made Dai Mubai realize that Yang Ruolin's strength far surpassed his own.
He even had a premonition that Zhu Zhuyun's attack might not be as powerful as Yang Ruolin's. His attention had been completely drawn to Zhu Zhuyun's fifth spirit ring, causing him to completely ignore Yang Ruolin and treat her as an ordinary spirit master.
In fact, in terms of attack power and destructive force, Yang Ruolin is definitely the strongest among the five girls from Blue Tyrant Academy.
Because Yang Ruolin focused all her abilities on the word "break," after more than a year, her Soul-Breaking Spear Technique had become quite proficient. Although it was not as good as Yu Tianyun's, its effectiveness among soul masters of the same level was definitely no less than that of a ten-thousand-year soul skill.
Furthermore, after consuming the Gengjin Fruit Immortal Herb, her Martial Soul evolved, making her Soul-Breaking Spear extremely sharp, undoubtedly a top-tier weapon Martial Soul. Already no less powerful than the Seven Kill Sword and the Clear Sky Hammer, the Soul-Breaking Spear naturally became even more terrifying.
The White Tiger Martial Soul is merely an ordinary top-tier Martial Soul. It's not even comparable to Yang Ruolin's evolved Soul-Breaking Spear, let alone her original Soul-Breaking Spear. At this point, Yang Ruolin completely overwhelms Dai Mubai in every aspect.
With Ye Lingling around, she didn't need to hold back too much and could fully unleash her strength. As long as she didn't pierce her opponent's head or heart, Ye Lingling could save them, and she herself was less afraid of getting hurt, allowing her to fully utilize her offensive, non-defensive fighting style.
Therefore, Ye Lingling's presence allowed Yang Ruolin to perform beyond her usual level.
Seeing Yang Ruolin's somewhat excited expression, Dai Mubai knew he was in trouble. So, he abandoned his defense and focused all his energy on preparing to resist.
At the same time, he shouted to the Shi brothers beside him, "Graphite, millstone, come and help me!"
