Chapter 28 - 28: Vs Zhao Wuji(1)

Let's go back several minutes ago...

"Okay team, first, introduce yourselves, your spirits, your spirit's abilities and what other capabilities that you can do so we can start planning our moves against that beast." Xiao Yan said with a straight face in his newly created team of monsters.

"Beast?" The beautiful lady asked what was on everyone's confused minds, except Dai Mubai who looked surprised for a moment before a serious expression appeared on his face as he nodded in confirmation, causing everyone to share the same serious expression as him.

Xiao Yan nodded, a grim expression on his face, as he explained.

"Well the word beast would a wrong nickname for teacher Zhao, but the unpenetrable fortress would be the perfect one, after all, he's the Motionless Bright King." The pink haired girl once more grasped as she knew that name. It was one of the many infamous names in the entire Douluo Continent, one of the MIA in the continent, he was also someone on the Spirit Hall's hit or kill list.

"Zhao Wuji, the Motionless Bright King, was someone who was famous for his really hard defense, that even until now, spirit masters can not find any weakness to exploit. 10 years ago, he and the Spirit Hall had some kind of disagreement, sixteen bishops, sent by the Spirit Hall, was ordered to go and capture Zhao Wuji."

" However, the unexpected happened. Despite he was outnumbered, Zhao Wuji had somehow passed through the siege of all sixteen bishops, who were all spirit emperors and below. What was even more impressive was that he was the same spirit rank as them!" The moment girl finished everyone except Dai Mubai, Xiao Yan and Xun Er gulped in concerned.

"I'm surprised that his teaching here though. But, what I was more surprised was how you recognize him." As she said this, the girl turned towards Xiao Yan with a questioning gaze along with everyone else.

"... As for how I knew, well, I just knew some friends that told me." A mysterious smile appeared on his face for a moment, much to the confusion of his team and Dai Mubai, before he continued.

"Anyway, that man's spirit is the Vigorous Vajra Bear, it's a powerful beast spirit. His whole body, as the girl said, does not have any known weaknesses, which means his defensive power is extremely terrifying, even if it was a spirit master of the same level, it would still be very difficult to cut open his defense to cause him harm. Even though I don't know about his speed, but even then, his spirit power and ours is too big of a gap. So safe to say, his speed probably rivals a peak spirit king at the least and normal spirit sage at the most. Teacher Zhao's most noticible abilities, however, is centered in physical attack power and defense." Xiao Yan looked around the group to see if they understand. Seeing everyone nodding he continued.

"Now I've got a plan, well part of a plan, but first, let's introduce ourselves shall we?"

Zhu Zhuqing raised an eyebrow.

"Part of a plan?"

"Ehhh... 80% percent of a plan but it's still a plan! Now can we go on with the introductions?" He snapped as he saw the disbelieving expressions on everyone's faces.

"Xiao Yan-gege, are you sure about this, uh, part of a plan of yours?"

Xiao Yan rolled his eyes.

"Wu-er, have I ever lead you guys astray?"

Tang San, Xiao Wu and Xun Er thought back to the times they spent with him and with no hesitation they replied simultaneously.

"Yes."

"You didn't have to answer it so quickly!"

The pink haired girl and Zhu Zhuqing looked at each and shook their heads while Dai Mubai chuckled in amus.e.m.e.nt.

Xiao Yan shook his head and straightforwardly said.

"I'm Xiao Yan, tool spirit Heavy Xuan Ruler, thirtieth ranked assault system spirit master."

Tang San with a slight smile, then followed.

"I'm Tang San, tool spirit Blue Silver Grass, thirtieth first ranked control system spirit master."

Xiao Wu then followed next with a cheery expression.

"Xiao Wu, beast spirit Rabbit, thirtieth first ranked assault system spirit master."

Xun Er next.

"Xun Er, tool spirit Vast Sun, thirtieth ninth ranked assault system spirit master."

The pink haired girl hesitated for a moment before she shook her head.

"Ning Rongrong, tool spirit seven treasure glazed tile pagoda, twenty sixth ranked auxiliary system spirit master."

And finally, Zhu Zhuqing.

"Zhu Zhuqing, beast spirit hell civet, twenty seventh ranked agility attack system spirit master."

Everyone's eyes turned towards Ning Rongrong as they were shocked to find out what kind of identity she has with her spirit being revealed.

'Though not all of it.' Xiao Yan thought. Shaking his head he turned towards Ning Rongrong and asked.

"What kind of buffs can you give? How much can you give? And how long is the time limit?"

Ning Rongrong replied.

"Strength and speed, both about 30%, as for the time limit? Burning of an incense of time is nothing."

Xiao Yan nodded, turning his head to face each one of them, he said.

"Alright. I got a 100% plan now. Tang San and Ning Rongrong, you both are at the rear. Tang San will try and restrain teacher Zhao as best as you can, while protecting Ning Rongrong, who will be stacking us with buffs."

"Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, you both cover the flank and try to confuse the teacher, while at the same time when you have the chance, attack him, but also retreat the moment you get a hit or miss."

"Xun Er and I are going on the offensive. Remember everyone, this guy is a spirit sage so don't hold back and attack him with everything you have, but keep your spirit power in mind. This isn't a battle to the death after all. This is a battle of endurance." Looking at each and everyone one of them, seeing them nodding at him with understanding and seriousness, Xiao Yan continued, only this time, he let out an evil smile.

"Now comes the second part. Here, take them." Xiao Yan's storage ring flashed and out came five jade bottles.

Tang San, Xiao Wu and Xun Er's eyes brightened realization hit them. While Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai looked confused.

"Seeing some of you are confused, let me remind something very important in this exam of ours. I asked teacher Zhao if there are any rules, and you know what he said? There's none, with the exception of doing a suicide attempt."

Now Ning Rongrong and co's eyes brightened as well.

"Now you got~ it! Anyways, here." Xiao Yan popped the lid of the bottle with 'pop!' and a great fragrance came out of it.

Tilting it to the palm of his hand, dozens of four different colored pills slid down from the bottle.

Green, orange, white and red pills. Lifting the green pill, Xiao Yan explained to the uncultured about the greatness that he had created.

"This here, my friends, is a 3rd tier strength power, also known as the Steroid pill, my personal creation. Only spirit grandmaster and spirit elders can eat this to get the most benefits. When a spirit scholar digest this, the sudden explosive strength he/she would gained will be too much for the spirit scholar body. Spirit grandmasters would gained 20% increased of strength power and spirit elders would only gained 15% increased while spirit ancestors would only have a meager 5% increased. It lasts for more than burning an incense of time so no need to worry except for the side effects which makes you feel extremely exhausted." He immediately handed one each for everyone, who was initially concerned about the side effects before sighing in relief that it was really excessive.

Except for Dai Mubai who looked confused at not being handled with one, before realizing that he wasn't to supposed to be teaming up with them. Faking a cough to hide his embarrassment, Dai Mubai looked straight face, as Xiao Yan then continued to the next pill.

"Now this here, this orange pill, like the same one before is a personal creation of mine at the 3rd tier. It is called the Naruto pill that can help increased your speed and endurance, just like the same conditions as the last one." Handing them he continued to the white pill.

"Same like the last two, personal creation and at 3rd tier, it is called the Supes pill. It increases your defense just like the last two." And finally, the red pill.

"This here though, it isn't a pill for you to eat but to throw." At the confused expressions of his friends, he continued explaining. "This is called the Red Hot Chili Smoke Pellet Bombs. The moment of great force it contacts, it immediately explodes and releases a red smoke of really, really, really red hot chili smoke that can make spirit sages, only if they didn't deploy their spirit body enhancement, to dropped to their knees and cry."

This practically made everyone's, but Tang San and co, eyes to widened in shock.

"Xiao Yan, what the f.u.c.k?!" Dai Mubai cursed as he took several steps away in fear.

After all, it was just too terrifying. For some simple red hot chili powder to deal great damage a spirit sage, holy shit, Dai Mubai thought he saw the face of god on Xiao Yan's face.

While fear was on Dai Mubai's face, on Ning Rongrong, however, was a mischievous and scheming expression. Zhu Zhuqing also had a strange glint in her eyes.

"Hey, Xiao Yan, you wouldn't happen to have, more? Right?" An innocent smile appeared on her face, which was mirrored by Xiao Yan.

"As a matter of fact, I do. But we'll talk about it later. Right now let's finish this test shall we?" Everyone nodded in confirmation.

Xiao Yan handed three pellets to Xun Er, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing and Tang San. Ning Rongrong looked confused and a bit angry however, before Xiao Yan explained that she was mostly at the rear anyway and that she wouldn't have the chance to throw them at Zhao Wuji.

This calmed her down but she had slight pout on her lips.

"Aren't you going to stop us?"

Dai Mubai shook his head.

"No. As you said before, there were no rules, so that means that this isn't cheating. Teacher Zhao practically dig his own grave and also, I wanted to see him cry." An evil smile appeared on his face that mirrored with everyone.

"Alright, times up everyone! Are you ready?" Suddenly Zhao Wuji's voice sounded out, causing to wake everyone up from their dazed state.

But before they turned around, Xiao Yan gave them one last advice.

"Remember, don't hold back. You either bet big, or go home. You gotta risk it to get the biscuit!"

"Now, eat." Xiao Yan said with a deep voice and a serious somber expression.

The three pills; green, orange and white were immediately digested into his mouth. The others also followed soon after in unison.

Everyone gasped at the sudden increase of their strength, speed, endurance and defense. Especially Ning Rongrong. As an auxiliary system spirit master, she was the weakest in everything an average spirit master's attributes have.

Though now, thanks to the 20% buff of strength, speed, endurance and defense.She could take an average assault system spirit master at the same spirit rank as her without any trouble.

Turning around Xiao Yan faced the teacher with a calm expression just like the rest.

Surging his heavenly flame to his fists, Xiao Yan's eyes seemed to flicker green wisps, the will to fight and adrenaline course throughout his entire body. Raising both his hands high at c.h.e.s.t level, he opened his left hand, and immediately, he punched it with his other, but clenched, hand.

"Yeah, we're all set! Now come on and let's do this, cause I'm all fired up!"

Teacher Zhao grinned and spreading his arms, he opened his mouth and said.

"Come!"
