Chapter 12: Conflict! A Melee Breaks Out!

Zhao Wuji had always held a grudge against the Spirit Hall.

Therefore, upon seeing that Lingxu and his group were all wearing Spirit Hall uniforms, he became even angrier, clearly intending to make things difficult for them.

As for Zhao Wuji, Lingxu remembered him clearly; he was able to gain the upper hand against over a dozen Spirit Hall Soul Emperors while only at the level sixty-something range.

His appearance should have been twelve years later, at which time his soul power was level seventy-six.

Lingxu took a glance; fortunately, other than Zhao Wuji, Flender had not come.

There were not many students, only two; one looked to be just over fifteen years old and, like Lingxu, had level thirty soul power, while the other looked to be about twenty, but his soul power had already reached level forty-three.

Judging by his appearance, it should be Qin Ming; at this time, he might not have left Shrek yet and was still working as a laborer at Shrek.

He was truly swindled completely by Flender; swindled as a child, and still swindled after growing up.

With your talent, where wouldn't you be cultivated as a priority?

If he had gone elsewhere, Qin Ming's achievements might have been even higher; after all, Shrek relied purely on talent to push forward and lacked a good cultivation environment.

Its greatest advantage was merely having someone to provide guidance and handle the finding of Spirit Rings.

But with your good talent, would you not receive such treatment if you went elsewhere?

May I ask, which school of swindling technology in the Douluo world is the strongest?

Using the system, Lingxu checked Zhao Wuji's soul power again; his current soul power was level seventy-one, and he was already a Soul Saint.

Seeing that they were people from the Spirit Hall, and being in a thousand-year Spirit Beast region, he assumed Lingxu's side was not very strong, so Zhao Wuji said somewhat arrogantly: "You killed our Spirit Beast, which we have been searching for for several days. Speak, how will you compensate us!"

Hearing this, Lingxu really didn't think it was something Zhao Wuji would say.

Truly, birds of a feather flock together; those who stay with Flender for a long time are indeed not good people.

Facing the other party's questioning, Luo Xingyue did not show the slightest panic; after all, she could be considered a veteran of a hundred battles, and her strength was the real deal.

"If we hadn't blocked it, your Spirit Beast would have rushed over to destroy our resting camp. Do you think it's appropriate for you to ask for compensation?" Luo Xingyue responded unhurriedly.

Zhao Wuji said: "Then you still shouldn't have beaten it to death, causing us to lose a suitable Spirit Beast. Even if you don't compensate, you must find us an identical Spirit Beast; after all, we have been tracking this Spirit Beast for several days."

"Otherwise! Hmph..."

Zhao Wuji's words carried a hint of a threat.

And after finishing his sentence, he erupted with a powerful aura, and seven Spirit Rings lit up one by one.

A Soul Saint?

Carlos and Cheng Mo took a look and instinctively stepped back half a step, but then they remembered that the Luo Xingyue before them was a veteran expert with level seventy-five soul power, so they stepped forward again.

"Vajra Bear? Are you the Immovable Bright King, Zhao Wuji?" Luo Xingyue said coldly.

"I didn't expect you to still remember me. That's right, I am Zhao Wuji." Zhao Wuji appeared somewhat smug; after all, there were two student disciples beside him.

Being recognized directly by the Spirit Hall made him look good in front of his disciples.

Luo Xingyue said indifferently: "Eight years ago, I remember sixteen Soul Emperors captured you, yet you actually escaped."

At the mention of this, Zhao Wuji's face became even more smug.

"That's because you people in the Spirit Hall are too incompetent; can you blame me for that?" Zhao Wuji laughed.

"Then today I will capture you and complete the mission they failed to finish eight years ago."

As soon as Luo Xingyue finished speaking, the Spirit Rings on her body lit up one after another; she was also a seven-ring Soul Saint, but her aura and soul power were stronger than Zhao Wuji's.

Moreover, years of combat gave Luo Xingyue a thick murderous aura.

She usually controlled it well in front of Lingxu, as Lingxu had never seen his mother's appearance when fighting.

Zhao Wuji knew at a glance that Luo Xingyue was not to be trifled with.

He had originally thought these people were at most at the level of Soul Kings or Soul Emperors; who would have known there was such a Soul Saint here.

"You all protect yourselves; if there is danger, flee immediately."

As soon as Zhao Wuji finished speaking, the Spirit Rings on his body lit up, and he directly activated his second soul skill, Vajra Palm.

"You all protect Lingxu; I will deal with him."

As soon as Luo Xingyue finished speaking, she leaped up, and with her Spirit Rings activated, a pair of wings allowed her to easily fly into the air and dodge Zhao Wuji's strike.

Perhaps because he had combat experience with Flender, Zhao Wuji appeared to have some experience facing Luo Xingyue, who also had an eagle-type martial soul.

When Luo Xingyue took off, he immediately used his gravity enhancement soul skill, wanting to use it to restrict Luo Xingyue's movements.

But Luo Xingyue did not seem to be affected much, and she launched long-range soul skills that forced Zhao Wuji to dodge in a flurry.

It was difficult for the two to determine a winner for the time being.

Even if Luo Xingyue could win in the end, she would likely have to pay the price of being injured.

Thus, Lingxu looked at Carlos beside him and said: "Uncle Carlos, please go assist Mother in the fight and control the opponent."

"Then what about here?" Carlos's order was to protect Lingxu.

Lingxu said: "Rest assured, with Uncle Cheng Mo here, these two are nothing to fear."

"Good!"

Kanuosi did not hesitate and quickly stepped forward, releasing his martial soul, which was a vine-type martial soul, and immediately released vines to begin binding Zhao Wuji.

Originally, the battle between Luo Xingyue and Zhao Wuji had reached a balance, but the addition of a control-type Soul King broke the stalemate in an instant.

The role of a control-type is inherently significant; although he was a Soul King, his effect in such a battle was comparable to a Soul Emperor.

It was even more useful than having an extra Soul Emperor.

Zhao Wuji was quickly restrained and was immediately struck by a blow from Luo Xingyue.

Meanwhile, Qin Ming, not far away, glanced at Lingxu, a child of about ten years old.

He was somewhat surprised, but still said to his companion: "I will go drag down that Spirit Master protecting him; you capture this child, so that we can have a chance to escape."

They also did not expect that Zhao Wuji would kick an iron plate this time.

Seeing Qin Ming rushing over, Cheng Mo said: "Lingxu, what should we do?"

Lingxu said: "You just focus on dealing with him. That Spirit Master in the back should also be looking for his third Spirit Ring and has soul power equivalent to mine, so you don't need to worry about me."

With Lingxu's reminder, Cheng Mo felt relieved at once.

Because the Spirit Master before him had already revealed his Spirit Ring and martial soul, and he was only a Soul Ancestor.

He was a Soul King, so he naturally had confidence when facing a Soul Ancestor.

What he feared was failing to protect Lingxu.

But with Lingxu saying it like that, he felt at ease to go and fight.

Boom...

With a full-force strike, Qin Ming was sent flying several meters away by Cheng Mo as soon as the fight began.

Level fifty-three against level forty-three; the gap was not something that could be easily bridged.

Although Qin Ming was a genius, he had no cheats, so it was very difficult to defeat an opponent ten levels higher.

While waiting for the two to start fighting, this youth from Shrek finally arrived in front of Lingxu.

Seeing this, Luo Xingyue felt worried in her heart.

Fearing she would worry, Lingxu said, "Mother, let me learn real combat as well."

This was his first time in actual combat with a stranger.

Luo Xingyue had been biased at first, seeing that the other party was older, but she finally understood Lingxu's words.

Lingxu should be capable of actual combat, and the opponent's soul power was on par with Lingxu's, making him the most suitable opponent.

After thinking it through, Luo Xingyue began to join forces with Kanuosi to deal with Zhao Wuji.

"Little brat, you haven't even learned how to fight yet; let big brother teach you properly," the fifteen or sixteen-year-old youth from Shrek said confidently.

No matter how impressive the child before him was, how strong could he be? At most, he was just a beginner Great Spirit Master.

He did not believe that such a young child could have thirty levels of soul power like him.
