Chapter 90: They Are All Too Weak

"How will you know if you don't try? I believe you can succeed," Shi Quan said, offering comfort.

Just then, a clanging sound suddenly came from afar.

"This sound must be the notification for us to assemble." Shi Quan raised his hand and patted Zhuqing's shoulder to comfort her, then walked toward the source of the sound.

Before long, the two were the first to arrive at the Playground.

"Little Ao." Seeing the sleepy-eyed Oscar, Shi Quan waved and called out to him as he walked over.

It had to be said, Oscar was truly handsome, the kind of handsome that was elegant and carried a certain air of a noble young master; the only thing out of place was that he was eating a Roasted Sausage as he walked.

In a short while, Tang San and the other four also walked over; Dai Mubai was not among them, so it seemed he had gone to look for them.

Ning Rongrong said with a smile, "Zhuang Zhou, Zhuqing, you arrived so quickly? Mu Bai even went to look for you."

"Yes. We guessed it might be the assembly signal when we heard the sound, so we came early," Shi Quan explained with a smile.

On the other side, Dai Mubai had been unable to find Shi Quan and Zhuqing for a long time. Seeing that he would be punished by Flender if he were any later, he hurried back. Seeing the two already on the Playground, his expression was visibly unpleasant.

Before long, Flender arrived before the eight of them. He first scanned everyone, then slowly said, "Not bad. I didn't expect that this year there would be five new little monsters. I won't say much more. You all experienced a battle with Teacher Zhao yesterday, and I presume you haven't fully recovered yet. Mu Bai! You will tell them the academy's rules and regulations later, then take them to get some good rest. You must rest well. The first class of the day will begin in the evening. Oscar, Ning Rongrong, Zhuang Zhou, you three are the exceptions; stay behind."

Hearing Flender say this, Oscar's face immediately fell, as he had roughly guessed what it was about.

Ma Hongjun slipped away without a moment's delay, while Zhuqing stayed behind. She was not in a hurry to leave; like Tang San, she wanted to see this Dean's teaching.

Flender did not mind this.

"The three of you are all Auxiliary Soul Masters."

Flender looked at the three and said indifferently, "And Auxiliary Soul Masters are often the most fragile existences on the battlefield. They need the protection of their teammates, and if they are the least bit careless, their lives will be in danger. Now, tell me, in battle, what is most important for an Auxiliary Soul Master?"

After speaking, Flender looked at Oscar first.

Oscar thought for a moment and said, "It should be to hide behind teammates as much as possible, trust one's teammates, entrust one's back to them, and at the same time use the terrain and buildings to avoid danger and stay away from dangerous areas."

A very orthodox and also very correct answer.

Flender nodded and looked at Ning Rongrong, waiting for her answer.

"The most important thing is to have good stamina so you can run away and support your teammates in time."

Hearing this, Flender's eyes lit up; Ning Rongrong's words were very much to his liking. He then turned his gaze to the last person, Shi Quan.

Shi Quan said with a faint smile, "A so-called Auxiliary Soul Master is someone who helps teammates deal with powerful enemies. If the teammates can't solve it, then solve it yourself. If you can't solve it yourself, at least you can stall for time to let your teammates run away."

As soon as these words were out.

"..."

Three large ellipses appeared in the minds of the three.

Is this what you call an Auxiliary Soul Master?

What do you mean: if the teammates can't solve it, you solve it yourself?

As an Auxiliary Soul Master, do you even have combat power? Even if you have combat power, are you implying your combat power is stronger than your teammates'?

Hearing Shi Quan say this, Flender immediately became interested. "Zhuang Zhou, as an Auxiliary Soul Master, how do you solve an opponent?"

"Isn't it enough to just beat them into submission?" Shi Quan smiled faintly.

"Good!" Flender grinned. "Since that's the case, come and demonstrate for me. Since they haven't left yet, you can choose any opponent you like. Let me see how you beat them into submission."

"They are all too weak, it's boring," Shi Quan curled his lip.

Weak?

Was the strength Tang San displayed yesterday weak?

Even the Spirit Saint Zhao Wuji didn't get the better of him, yet in Shi Quan's eyes, they had become weak.

And Dai Mubai's soul power level was as high as thirty-seven, a full six levels higher than Shi Quan, who was ostensibly only at thirty-six. Weak? Not weak.

But for Shi Quan to call them weak, was he not being too arrogant?

Dai Mubai already disliked Shi Quan, and hearing him say this, a cold light flashed through his evil eyes, and he gave a ferocious smile. "In that case, shall I play with you?"

"Whatever, it makes no difference to me."

Watching Shi Quan's indifferent demeanor, Dai Mubai's evil eyes gradually turned red.

The others silently stepped back, and Flender also sized up Shi Quan with great interest.

"Since you said so, I won't hold back."

Dai Mubai gave a ferocious laugh, and a pale white light suddenly erupted from his body. He stretched both arms out to his sides, puffed out his chest, and his entire body's bones cracked and popped. His muscles instantly expanded, stretching his clothes. The air around him seemed to become manic.

At the same time, two yellow and one purple Soul Ring emerged from beneath Shi Quan.

"Since both of you are ready, then begin..."

As Flender's voice fell.

The double pupils in Dai Mubai's evil eyes instantly merged. Without any hesitation, his first Soul Ring lit up, and a white light barrier enveloped him.

Dai Mubai did not know exactly what Shi Quan's soul skill was, but Shi Quan had once said his ability was reduction.

The protective barrier formed by the White Tiger Body Protection Barrier might be able to defend against it.

Shi Quan's expression remained unchanged. A yellow light lit up from his second Soul Ring, and a circle of white light mist permeated the air. His figure instantly changed from one to over ten, and every one of them had Soul Rings flickering on their bodies.

The figures ran in all directions.

Illusion Shadow Clone Technique.

Looking at these clones in all directions, Dai Mubai's charging figure immediately stopped in its tracks, because he could not distinguish which of these figures was real and which was fake.

Originally, Dai Mubai wanted to judge by soul power fluctuations, but upon probing, he discovered that none of these clones had any soul power fluctuations. Either these clones were all fake, or Shi Quan had some special means to hide his own soul power fluctuations.

Before long, a circle of clones surrounded Dai Mubai. Seeing that these clones did not take the initiative to attack him, Dai Mubai couldn't be bothered to move and said mockingly, "Didn't you want to beat me into submission? Why aren't you attacking?"

All the clones revealed a smile, and the first Soul Ring beneath everyone's feet lit up.

Dream Wave.

Dai Mubai's gaze tightened. As Shi Quan's soul skill was released, he felt the fluctuation of soul power. His second Soul Ring instantly lit up, and a milky-white light sphere condensed and instantly rushed toward the direction of the soul power fluctuation.

As the White Tiger Intense Light Wave flew out, the next second he only felt himself enveloped by a special aura, his spirit tightening. What he found strange was that he did not feel any discomfort.

The White Tiger Intense Light Wave that flew out also missed, passing through a phantom figure and smashing into the ground.

"What's going on? Is he bluffing me?" Dai Mubai's evil eyes kept scanning his surroundings, and the mocking voice continued to ring out, "Trying to bluff me with some illusions? This isn't an assessment; you won't win just by stalling for time. Don't forget your bold words from just now—if you have the ability, then come out."

Facing Dai Mubai's mockery, a sneer appeared on the lips of Shi Quan, who was in the shadows. Dai Mubai's reaction was indeed fast, but his own movements were not slow either; the White Tiger Intense Light Wave was not a lock-on skill, so it was naturally easy for him to dodge.

Shi Quan's soul skills only consumed soul power at the moment of release, while everything afterward consumed Mental Power. With Dai Mubai's Mental Power, how could he possibly detect the fluctuations of Shi Quan's Mental Power?

Dai Mubai had been in a state of high mental tension. At first, the aura of Dream Wave had no effect on him, but as time passed, Dai Mubai noticed something wrong—he was actually starting to feel sleepy.

"What is going on?" Dai Mubai was shocked, yet his eyelids still couldn't help but fight each other.

"Something's wrong, it's his soul skill. What exactly is he weakening?"

Dai Mubai's heart shook violently, and his Third Soul Ring, that crystalline purple, was released instantly, erupting with his Third Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation.

His body, already robust from the White Tiger martial soul possession, expanded once more; his muscles bulged exaggeratedly, his upper garment was completely shredded, revealing terrifying muscular contours, black horizontal stripes appeared on his skin, his tiger paws grew another circle larger, the blades protruding from them turned a bright silver, and his entire body was shrouded in a layer of intense golden light, as if he were plated in gold, his blood-red eyes revealing a bloodthirsty gleam.

"What's wrong with Mu Bai? Why did he suddenly release his Third Soul Skill?" The people present looked at Dai Mubai, confused.

Dai Mubai was already somewhat panicked at this moment; the effect of White Tiger Vajra Transformation could double his resistance to abnormal status effects, as well as his attack power, defense, and strength simultaneously.

But even so, he still felt a wave of exhaustion. This exhaustion did not stem from his body, but from his Soul Soul; it was as if he had suddenly stayed up for several nights in a row—he hadn't done anything, yet he was just tired.

"I can't just sit here and wait for death; I must take the initiative." Dai Mubai let out a piercing tiger roar, and his figure charged toward those phantoms.

His blade-like tiger paws continuously swiped through the phantom clones, and the illusions attacked by the phantoms immediately dissipated. Facing Dai Mubai's charge, the clones also moved, actively launching attacks toward Dai Mubai. Facing clones from all directions, Dai Mubai knew they were all fake, but he still couldn't help but force himself through his exhausted spirit to guard against a sneak attack from Shi Quan.

"Mu Bai's movements have slowed down." Tang San keenly discovered Dai Mubai's abnormality.

Xiao Wu said with a puzzled expression: "Brother, what exactly happened? Why did Mu Bai suddenly use his Third Soul Skill, and why have his movements slowed down?"

"I'm not sure either, but one thing is certain: Zhuang Zhou is not only an Auxiliary Soul Master, but also a Spirit-type Soul Master. The abilities of Spirit-type Soul Masters are all extremely terrifying..."
