Chapter 94: A Sick Cat Should Just Stay Down
Oscar hurriedly stepped forward to catch Ning Rongrong, but the powerful impact made it impossible for him to hold her steady. Just as he was falling backward, Oscar felt as if something was supporting him from behind; the powerful impact instantly dissipated, and he stood his ground.
Oscar looked at Zhuang Zhou behind him and thanked him, "Thanks, Zhuang Zhou."
"It's nothing." Shi Quan patted Oscar on the shoulder, lifted his head slightly, and looked in the direction of Dai Mubai.
"Incompetent dog barking, only daring to bully the weak here."
Dai Mubai's gaze became exceptionally cold, "You blind man with eyes that don't see, do you think I'm really afraid of you? If you have the ability, come again!"
Roar!
A sharp tiger's roar rang out, and amidst the flashing white light, Dai Mubai had already completed his Martial Soul Avatar.
"Zhuang Zhou." Ning Rongrong called out Shi Quan's name with eyes full of fury, "He not only hit me but also insulted you. Let's give him a sound beating; does he really think we Auxiliary Soul Masters are easy to bully?"
"It seems the last time didn't teach you a lesson."
A faint smile remained on the corners of Shi Quan's mouth, yet at this moment, it looked chilling.
"You're courting death."
Shi Quan's figure did not move, but as he threw a backhand punch, the third soul ring beneath him was finally revealed.
Using Mental Power to condense the power of darkness and the moon, it transforms into a new moon. The light of the new moon lowers the enemy's soul defense strength, reduces the enemy's speed, abilities, and other states, and generates an impact.
Shi Quan's voice rang out as his storm-like punches fell. The pressure of the Spirit Gathering Soul Awe Technique also reached its peak. At this moment, Dai Mubai's consciousness was blurred, his mind trembled, and he couldn't even summon the thought of resisting.
Sleepiness condensed, transformed into an impact, and shot into Dai Mubai's mind.
The bright moon in the sky condensed its radiance, intertwining with the dark brilliance.
Dai Mubai was the first to move, the third soul ring beneath him suddenly lighting up. He did not intend to give Shi Quan any chance to delay; the distance between the two was not far, and in almost the time it took to flash, he had already arrived in front of Shi Quan.
At night, the effect of this soul skill is twice as strong as during the day.
"A sick cat should just stay down!"
Seeing this, Ning Rongrong stepped forward quickly and kicked him several times, saying as she kicked, "That's for daring to hit me, that's for daring to hit me..."
This was Shi Quan's third soul skill, Dark Moon Radiance.
At this moment, the first soul ring beneath Shi Quan also lit up.
Although one can dream during the day, night is the true battlefield for dreams.
The sharp tiger claws emitted a bone-chilling cold light under the illumination of the moonlight.
The martial art, Spirit Gathering Soul Awe Technique.
Qi and blood surged in reverse; the impact, anger, and injuries intertwined, causing Dai Mubai to suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and he passed out completely.
The pressure condensed by the Spirit Gathering Soul Awe Technique, combined with the weakening effect of Dark Moon Radiance, caused Dai Mubai's mind to suffer an impact.
A crisp sound of bone fracturing came, and Dai Mubai's figure flew backward, slamming heavily onto the ground.
The main ability of Dark Moon Radiance is still to weaken; the soul impact it brings is only incidental and not very strong. However, if the gap in Mental Power is too large, combined with the weakening effect of Dark Moon Radiance itself, this impact effect is not low.
As the Dark Moon Radiance scattered, a soul-stirring, powerful aura erupted from Shi Quan's body, and the powerful presence caused Dai Mubai's movements to pause once again.
It instantly transformed into a new moon emitting black light. The new moon's radiance instantly enveloped Dai Mubai. Dai Mubai's figure seemed to freeze, his face turned pale, and the speed at which his tiger claws fell also slowed down significantly.
A heavy, powerful punch landed on Dai Mubai's body, followed by a sweeping leg kick to finish it off.
Tang San, standing to the side, didn't even have time to offer any advice before Dai Mubai had already been kicked back by Shi Quan with thunderous momentum.
As a bystander, it was really hard for him to say anything about this matter. Did Ning Rongrong do anything wrong? Not really. If anything, one could only say she didn't know how to read the room; knowing Dai Mubai was unhappy, she still deliberately provoked him.
As for Dai Mubai being beaten, he was the one who struck first, so being beaten back could be considered him asking for it.
"Rongrong, that's enough." Tang San finally stepped out to act as a peacemaker.
Ning Rongrong's strength was not weak; one could tell from her horse stance that if the unconscious Dai Mubai were kicked by her for any longer, he would likely break a few more ribs.
"Fine, Xiao San, I'll give you face." Ning Rongrong glanced at Tang San, and a smile immediately appeared on her lips. Regarding today's matter, she had already prepared to give up on winning over Dai Mubai, but she was still very interested in Tang San, especially his special Hidden Weapons.
Anyway, she had already kicked him, and her anger had been vented. Since Tang San had spoken, she would give him face, which would also leave a good impression on him.
"Zhuang Zhou was right, he's just a sick cat, a crazy cat." Ning Rongrong turned and walked toward Shi Quan, "You're still the best. Even an Auxiliary Soul Master can possess such strong combat power; you're one of a kind. Zhuang Zhou, are you interested in joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? As long as you are willing to join, I can guarantee that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will provide you with the best and most perfect cultivation resources."
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is fine as it is, but I'm used to being free and don't want to be tied down."
Ning Rongrong smiled brightly, not feeling regretful because of Shi Quan's refusal, and said, "It's okay. From today on, you are a friend of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. You can come to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for help in the future; just mention my name."
"Thanks." Shi Quan nodded toward Ning Rongrong. The current Ning Rongrong was much more mature than in the original story; although she still had some small willfulness, it was not excessive, and she was no longer as arrogant as in the original.
"Let's go, Oscar." Seeing Oscar preparing to move forward, Ning Rongrong called him back directly.
Oscar's movements paused, and he looked at Ning Rongrong, then at Shi Quan.
"Go ahead, Xiao Ao." Shi Quan said.
Only then did Oscar let out a breath and walk toward Dai Mubai, chanting his incantations as he walked.
"Zhuang Zhou, why did you let Oscar save him?" Ning Rongrong glared at Dai Mubai on the ground.
"A lesson is enough. After all, we are still in the same academy, and Oscar and Dai Mubai have known each other longer than you and I have, so there's no need to make things difficult for him." Shi Quan explained with a smile and turned to walk into the academy.
Zhu Zhuqing did not leave alone; she only moved once Shi Quan caught up.
"Does it ache?" Shi Quan said with a faint smile.
"You could have been a bit more ruthless next time." Zhu Zhuqing responded coldly.
"No problem."
Hearing Zhu Zhuqing's reply, the smile on the corners of Shi Quan's mouth grew even richer.
After Shi Quan sent Zhu Zhuqing back to the Dormitory, he returned to his own alone. After Zhu Zhuqing clearly sensed Shi Quan's Spirit Sense, she finally understood that although Shi Quan was blind, his heart was not. His observation of everything was much more thorough than those of them who used their eyes.
Not long after returning to the Dormitory, Oscar also returned.
"You seem a bit down."
Oscar smiled awkwardly, "It's nothing, just got rejected after a confession."
"Do you really like Ning Rongrong?"
"Of course, I'm not like those fickle guys Mubai and Pangzi; I'm a pure-hearted little boy."
Shi Quan said with a smile, "If you really like her, then you must take me as your goal and work hard."
"Are you trying to say that Rongrong likes your type?" Oscar rolled his eyes.
"No, I mean that if you want to be with Ning Rongrong, you must be like me and possess combat power; otherwise, if you two Auxiliary Soul Masters are together and encounter danger, are you two going to race to see who can run faster?"
"Uh..." Oscar's expression faltered; what Shi Quan said seemed to be the case, and if they encountered any problems, the two of them really wouldn't have a way to solve them.
"It does seem to be the case, ha."
"It has always been the case. As a man, even an Auxiliary Soul Master must have the ability to protect his woman; otherwise, do you want to watch Dai Mubai bully the woman you like as you did today?"
"I don't!" Oscar shook his head hurriedly.
"You're right. I must cultivate hard and find a soul skill that can grant me combat power so that I will have the ability to protect Rongrong in the future," Oscar nodded earnestly.
"Thank you, Zhuang Zhou. If you hadn't reminded me, I definitely wouldn't have thought of these things. But my Sausage martial soul is just a Food-type Spirit; how can I possess combat power?" Oscar revealed a distressed expression.
"After your Sausage martial soul is consumed, it can produce certain effects, and you have Innate Full Spirit Power; your Sausage martial soul is not something an ordinary Food-type Spirit can compare to.
So you can consider two directions: one is soul skills, the other is the martial soul. For example, look for some Spirit Beasts that possess replication or storage abilities. When facing an enemy's soul skill attack, you could create a sausage that absorbs the soul skill. After consuming it, you could release the enemy's soul skill, giving you a certain degree of self-preservation and counterattack ability when facing enemy attacks.
Or, you could replicate a martial soul, being able to replicate the martial soul of a partner or an enemy, allowing you to possess a portion of the combat power of the enemy or partner for a short period of time.
However, both of these soul skills are quite demanding, and the age requirement is not low; at least ten thousand years, with the fifth or sixth Soul Ring being the best. Otherwise, if the age is too low, the ability you replicate won't be very strong, and you will only end up wasting a soul skill in vain."
Listening to Shi Quan's eloquent discourse, Oscar suddenly widened his eyes, staring at Shi Quan with glowing eyes and saying, "Zhuang Zhou, you're too amazing, aren't you? I just mentioned it, and you've already thought it out so perfectly for me?"
"Isn't it because we are both Auxiliary Soul Masters? What I said is also something I once thought about. If there is an opportunity, I also plan to find a soul skill with replication abilities, using Mental Power to simulate and replicate an enemy's soul skill, so that I can handle different enemies with ease," Shi Quan explained with a smile.
"So that's how it is." Oscar nodded thoughtfully and said earnestly, "However, I have remembered everything you said today. For Rongrong's sake, I must cultivate well. Although she rejected me today, I believe that one day I will be able to move Rongrong with my own efforts..."
After speaking, Oscar immediately got on the bed and began to cultivate earnestly.
