Douluo: Let me loot an airdrop first.

Chapter 28: Fierce Battle with Zhao Wuji

If Dai Mubai's introduction still didn't make everyone feel the difference, the addition from Ning Rongrong, the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, made it even more obvious.

This next leader of the powerful clan was a man of great experience and knowledge. He immediately recounted to everyone with a look of awe the incredible feat of Zhao Wuji surviving an attack by sixteen Soul Emperors.

"Back then, for some unknown reason, the Spirit Hall and Zhao Wuji had a conflict. Neither of them were easy to deal with, so the Spirit Hall sent more than ten people to try to ambush and kill Zhao Wuji."

Ning Rongrong began to recount her story, immediately capturing everyone's attention. "Those dozen or so were all Spirit Hall bishops at the Soul Emperor level; their strength was unimaginable. Just when the entire continent thought Zhao Wuji would perish at the hands of the Spirit Hall, he actually broke through the encirclement..."

"Hiss~ Teacher Zhao is terrifying!" This was the thought in the minds of all the students. "Teacher Zhao was only a Soul Emperor back then. Isn't he even more terrifying now..."

After the introductions were finished, before Dai Mubai could speak, Ning Yuanshan said again, "Then let's introduce our respective martial soul strengths and areas of expertise, and formulate an attack plan first."

Tang San, having learned a great deal from the master's instruction, stared intently at Ning Rongrong after everyone had finished their introductions, exclaiming in surprise, "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul! It's actually the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda! Your surname is Ning? Could it be that you are...?"

"Our immediate priority is to discuss a strategy. If we are admitted to school smoothly, we will have plenty of time to get to know each other in the future..."

Zhao Wuji gave Ning Yuanshan and the others a chance to devise a strategy, but they only had enough time to discuss it for the duration of an incense stick burning.

Just now, because of Xiao Wu's nonchalant attitude, Dai Mubai had spent a considerable amount of time explaining how powerful Zhao Wuji was in order to raise everyone's awareness. There wasn't much time left to discuss tactics, so Ning Yuanshan interrupted Tang San's question.

One has to admit that good looks are everything. Tang San, who hadn't undergone martial soul evolution, was already the least attractive among everyone present, and now he's sporting a braised egg-shaped head.

Although everyone's attention was focused on Ning Rongrong because of her amazing background, Tang San's gaze seemed to have ill intentions when compared to the other handsome men and beautiful women, especially since he took the initiative to strike up a conversation.

Ning Yuanshan's words successfully diverted everyone's attention, especially Tang San's, and also helped Ning Rongrong out of the predicament.

Ning Rongrong was not very willing to reveal her background. In the original work, when discussing tactics, she hesitated when asked about her martial soul and abilities. Now that Tang San asked her so directly, Ning Rongrong was naturally unhappy and wanted to avoid it.

"Have you finished discussing it? It's almost time!" Zhao Wuji's loud voice urged them. The five of them turned around and saw that the incense stick on the ground was almost burned to the end.

The five of them whispered and discussed tactics, but facing Zhao Wuji, whose strength far surpassed their own, Ning Yuanshan also didn't have any good strategies. They just used their respective martial soul enhancement directions to their fullest potential.

"My wooden box spirit is a bit special. It's both a weapon spirit and has strong support and recovery abilities. Xiao Wu, Tang San, and Zhu Zhuqing all have considerable attack power, so it would be redundant for me to go for an attack role."

"Then I will protect Ning Rongrong and assist everyone... like this... like this..." Ning Yuanshan thought to himself, quickly making strategic deployments.

"Then... let's begin!" As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Yuanshan and the others quickly lined up in their positions.

Zhao Wuji also stretched his body and moved around a bit, preparing for a big fight.

Once everyone was in position, they saw Teacher Zhao relight an incense stick, then squat down and slam his fists into the ground with a loud "crack," causing the hard ground to ripple like ocean waves.

Ning Yuanshan didn't really remember the details of this battle from the original story, but he had been through several battles and had an outstanding combat awareness. Before the new incense sticks were even lit, he had already stood in front of the support soul master Ning Rongrong.

Although both played the support role, Ning Yuanshan was not helpless like Ning Rongrong. His physical fitness and reaction speed were top-notch, not to mention he was well-prepared.

"Get out of the way!" Ning Yuanshan grabbed Ning Rongrong and swept across the earthen wave. Tang San reacted quickly and was about to throw out his Blue Silver Vines to save them. However, although Tang San reacted quickly, he was still no match for Ning Yuanshan.

This battle showcased the combat experience of the group. Ning Rongrong had already unleashed her martial spirit before the incense was lit, while Tang San waited until Zhao Wuji slammed his hands into the ground to launch his attack before making any move.

"In battle, you must eliminate the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Soul Masters as soon as possible." This was the advice Grandmaster gave to Tang San. Killing the support characters first is a principle that all Soul Masters agree on.

While Zhao Wuji's attack wasn't solely targeted at support Soul Masters, his wide-ranging earth-wave surge still achieved its intended effect. However, Ning Yuanshan neutralized his attack.

Looking at the battlefield situation, Ning Yuanshan shook his head to himself, "Our combat awareness is still too poor. Zhao Wuji clearly intended for us to show our skills, so he didn't go all out..."

Xiao Wu took the lead, stepping off Tang San's supporting hands in mid-air and crashing into Zhao Wuji with her body curled up.

Xiao Wu successfully completed the martial soul possession in mid-air, and then spread her body out in front of Zhao Wuji as she rushed to him, sticking to the top of his head like a piece of chewing gum.

However, Xiao Wu was weak and powerless, and could not throw Zhao Wuji at all. This Immovable King even had the leisure to comment on Xiao Wu's attack.

At this moment, Tang San's vines finally arrived, binding Zhao Wuji tightly.

Although Tang San's first soul skill is no longer "Entanglement" derived from the Mandragora Snake in the original work, it is still acceptable to use the Blue Silver Grass, which has good resilience and has been strengthened, to control Entanglement.

Blue silver grass grew wildly on the ground, constantly wrapping around Zhao Wuji's feet and pushing him upwards.

"The so-called power originates from the ground. As long as Zhao Wuji loses his footing, Xiao Wu can unleash her full power of grappling. Tang San's strategy is sound, but his movements are too slow, and he can't grasp the timing at all..."

The battle had only been going on for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, but Ning Yuanshan had already discovered many problems, such as Xiao Wu's martial soul possession being too slow.

To possess a martial spirit mid-air? Is it just for showing off? What if someone attacks before you've finished possessing the spirit?

For example, Tang San actually let Xiao Wu engage in close combat first? And only then did his vines follow up to entangle her? The enemy was so powerful, didn't you care about Xiao Wu's safety at all!

One of the characteristics of Blue Silver Grass is its omnipresence, making it completely inconspicuous. For Tang San, who hails from the Tang Sect, sneak attacks and underhanded tactics are commonplace.

The correct strategy would be to subtly allow the vines to entangle Zhao Wuji first, wouldn't it?

The young dancers have been sparring closely for quite a while now, didn't you see Zhao Wuji grinning broadly?

"Haven't you eaten? Little girl, are you going to tickle me again?" If this were a life-or-death battle, do you think Zhao Wuji would take this opportunity to kill the rabbit first?
