"Not bad."
Nangong Lingyun gave a compliment, and Xiao Wu instantly grinned smugly.
Then she bowed to Zhao Wuji again and said,
"Senior, please teach me."
With that, the Soft-Boned Enchanting Rabbit spirit possessed her, and four over-limit soul rings in yellow, purple, and black shone brightly, spinning rapidly by her side.
Thanks to the Primordial Pure Gold Qi from the Longevity Technique, three consecutive system soul rings, and the boost from cultivating the Yin-Yang Path that Nangong Lingyun fed back to her,
after a total of five evolutions and completions, her martial soul had changed dramatically from the very beginning.
The originally soft and cute rabbit now looked crystallized, dazzling yet radiating a dangerously intense aura.
Her body surface was covered by a thick golden light.
But unlike the glaring big golden glow of the Ancient Holy Body, the light on her was extremely condensed, almost solidifying.
Her self-created soul skill was called Indestructible Golden Body.
Although its effect was less than a third as strong as the original soul ring skill Indestructible Golden Body, unable to achieve the conceptual absolute defense against attacks below God-level,
the tremor characteristic of her martial soul had greatly improved.
It consumed very little energy, could be maintained for a long time,
and importantly, it no longer occupied a precious soul ring slot. In the future, it could continue to strengthen with cultivation and the martial soul, easily surpassing the original.
Besides that, Xiao Wu now held a double-section staff in her right hand,
with a subdued dark gold color covered in silver-white patterns, looking extremely mysterious.
"Ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring? Not bad, not bad. Definitely a little monster. That stingy old ghost Frand is going to be thrilled this time."
Zhao Wuji laughed heartily, his anger from being underestimated earlier now greatly reduced.
After all, which teacher doesn't like a good student?
Xiao Wu clearly wasn't just "good" anymore—she was a real monster.
With a loud laugh, Zhao Wuji didn't even bother changing his fragrance, suddenly squatted halfway, and slammed his fist hard on the ground.
Without his martial soul attached, relying only on the shock of his soul power,
the earth beneath him instantly shook violently, sending soil-colored waves rippling rapidly in all directions.
But this probing strike had no effect.
Xiao Wu simply took a flying step over the wave, shaking her wrist as she accelerated her double-section staff, slicing the air with a sharp woo-woo-woo sound.
Meanwhile, Nangong Lingyun lightly stomped his right foot and used the same method to send a wave canceling out the soil waves before him.
Tang San was still far beyond the wall, one hand supporting himself on the ground, the other clutching his stomach to relieve pain and recover energy, unaffected.
Xiao Wu rushed forward and, at the moment she was three steps from Zhao Wuji,
she pushed off powerfully with her legs and launched herself into the air, spinning like a top at high speed.
Just as she neared the target's head, the other end of the double-section staff suddenly expanded to the extreme,
in the blink of an eye growing from a wrist-sized short stick to two meters long and thick enough to be hugged by a person.
This was a special weapon-type soul ring with a strength of twelve thousand years, possessing the same characteristic as the legendary Sun Wukong's Golden Cudgel: size alteration at will.
Moreover, its weight was completely proportional to its volume, and its trajectory remained unchanged during the size shift.
Physics 101: p = m·v — the impact of a physical attack depends on mass and velocity.
Though Zhao Wuji never studied physics, he had taken plenty of beatings and immediately felt his soul scare itself seeing this.
If this thing really smashed his head, there probably wouldn't be any brain left.
No more pretending to be cool.
His figure rapidly expanded, covered in thick brown-yellow fur, and his seven glowing soul rings rose in unison.
The increased height and the descending giant cudgel collided with a loud "clang!"
Like metal striking stone, Powerful Vajra Bear staggered back three steps and sat down hard, his head buzzing.
The ground cracked where he stepped back three times, and the place he sat crushed a deep pit.
Xiao Wu stopped attacking, looking a bit embarrassed as if she'd done something wrong.
Zhao Wuji was stunned for two seconds, then took a deep breath, full of lingering fear, and said,
"Good grief, young lady, are you trying to kill me?"
In the distance, Tang San, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Zhu Lanling looked like they'd seen ghosts, their eyes on the rabbit suddenly very different.
They used to think this was a cute little girl, but now…
She probably could hack from the Southern Heaven Gate all the way to Penglai East Road without blinking.
Xiao Wu spoke softly but became more confident with every word:
"Brother Yun said this time we could go all out.
Besides, Soul Saints should be pretty tough, right?
Also, you clearly underestimated me and were too careless to dodge."
"Do it again."
Zhao Wuji's face darkened.
His first and third soul rings glowed fiercely, boosting his defense and restricting his opponent's speed with gravity.
His wisdom from half a lifetime was nearly destroyed just now.
He had decided to keep Xiao Wu as his disciple—such a freaky student is either crazy or genius—but he had to save face for the Immovable King.
Otherwise, how could he face anyone?
Who knew how ugly Frand's mocking smile would be.
So, half a minute later,
the two-and-a-half-meter tall Powerful Vajra Bear once again staggered back three steps and plopped onto the ground with a loud thud.
This time he didn't know Xiao Wu's Soft-Boned Enchanting Rabbit had a tremor property with powerful defense breaking ability, making his first soul skill defense useless—and once again he was careless and didn't dodge.
Luckily, he hit the shoulder, not the head, but his head still buzzed.
Beside him, Nangong Lingyun raised his thumbs high,
repeating the same attack was much harder than catching the opponent off guard, showing how much this ten-thousand-year rogue rabbit had grown.
Dai Mubai covered his face, struggling to hold back laughter.
When he was carried back to the academy last night, hearing he was knocked out by a twelve-year-old girl, Teacher Zhao was both shocked and scolded him hard.
Only one day later, the tables turned, and now he was the one both shocked and scolding. Karma is a real pain.
Far away,
a recovering Tang San, supporting himself with one hand on the wall, looked bitter and regretful.
Whether it was his soul power over level forty or these attacks that had even the Soul Saints struggling,
they shattered his pride as a transmigrator and disciple of the Tang Sect in an instant.
Even further away, Tang Hao's face was full of astonishment.
Xiao Wu's ability to suddenly enlarge her weapon reminded him of his ancestor Tang Chen.
Grandpa's seventh soul skill, Haotian True Body, had a similar effect.
It was precisely this skill that allowed pursuit of speed, agility, and balanced development without falling behind in attack power.
He himself had gone the extreme route, with most soul skills focused on strength amplification, trying to reach that level.
But even now, he wasn't as smooth as Xiao Wu or Tang Chen.
Lifting heavy things lightly or making light things feel heavy are just force techniques; the weapon still weighs that much and consumes extra soul power.
