The cold sword was horizontally slashed towards her leg, which made Xiao Wu startled. She quickly canceled the activation of her soul skill waist bow and activated her third soul skill, Teleportation.
Xiao Wu's figure disappeared out of thin air and reappeared five meters away from Zeng Yi the next moment.
"Oh my, Yi gege, you are really harsh. You really scared Xiao Wu just now!" Xiao Wu lightly patted her slightly bulged chest, stuck out her tongue at Zeng Yi, and spoke in a playful and coquettish tone.
Instantly, Zeng Yi's gaze fell on Xiao Wu's eyes, which were shimmering with seductive pink light. In that moment, Zeng Yi felt like the entire space turned pink, with an ambiguous atmosphere and only Xiao Wu's sweet and lovely appearance in his mind.
Xiao Wu's second soul skill, Charm, silently activated.
Oops! It turned out to be a mental confusion skill.
Zeng Yi instantly realized it. He gazed at Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, and his mind was not attracted in the same way. After all, both of them had appearances comparable to Xiao Wu's. Moreover, Zhu Zhuqing had a more fiery and explosive figure, completely unlike a twelve-year-old girl.
No matter what, it was impossible for him to have any thoughts about Xiao Wu. It must be a kind of charming mental attack.
Zeng Yi's silver eyes appeared somewhat unfocused for a moment, but in an instant, they returned to their indifferent state.
In the state of [Sword of Selflessness] Zeng Yi's spirit easily broke free from Xiao Wu's charming skill. It wasn't that Zeng Yi didn't understand Xiao Wu's skills; he had just suffered a small setback and barely had any pause in his consciousness.
The will of a swordsman couldn't be easily bewitched by such skills, especially when the user's strength was weaker than his own.
At the moment Zeng Yi broke free from Xiao Wu's control, a cold gaze pierced towards him like a sword light.
Instantly, Xiao Wu felt a piercing pain in her mind as if it had been cut by a sharp sword. Her eyebrows twisted, and she took a few steps back involuntarily. Her face became pale, the pink light in her eyes faded, and her aura weakened.
Swish!
After removing Xiao Wu's control, Zeng Yi controlled his flying sword to cut off the Blue Silver Grass wrapped around his right hand. He swiftly leaped backward, increasing the distance between them.
At the next moment, dozens of thick Blue Silver Grass abruptly burst out of the ground where Zeng Yi had just stood. The vines were covered with thorns, and the thick Blue Silver Grass twisted and flailed like a wild snake.
Tang San's first soul skill, [Bind], missed!
So fast! He could actually sense the position of my soul skill in advance!
Seeing Zeng Yi dodge his soul skill [Bind], Tang San felt a bit shocked.
However...
Second soul skill, [Parasite]!
At the next moment, Zeng Yi noticed Blue Silver Grass growing on his right wrist. It rapidly spread towards his arm. This surprised Zeng Yi.
Did the attack just leave seeds on my arm?
Understanding the effects of Tang San's spirit, Zeng Yi's soul power surged, instantly turning the Blue Silver Grass on his arm into powder. But in the next moment, Zeng Yi suddenly felt a slight dizziness in his brain.
Is there still poison?
Zeng Yi couldn't help but chuckle bitterly. Not fully understanding his opponent's spirit skills really was a disadvantage.
In this training battle, Zeng Yi couldn't go all out. He had to be careful and avoid severely injuring or killing them. It made him feel restricted. It was precisely because of this that Zeng Yi had suffered quite a few setbacks.
If it were a life-or-death fight with an enemy, Zeng Yi wouldn't have the time to pay attention to the effects of others' spirit skills. He would just focus on how to cut his sword on the enemy's neck.
However, the poison was very weak, and Zeng Yi could easily suppress it with his powerful soul power.
He couldn't let Tang San's Blue Silver Grass touch him again.
With this thought in mind, Zeng Yi stepped forward, holding his swords with both hands, and rushed towards Tang San's position. Zeng Yi decided to take the initiative.
Advance and Slash!
His figure instantly flashed in front of Tang San, and he swiftly swung his Ronin Sword, with its sharp and fierce blade making Tang San's hair stand on end.
[Mysterious Jade Hand!]
In an instant, Tang San's palms turned pure white like jade, with a mysterious purple light flashing in his eyes. His [Purple Demon Eye] allowed him to clearly see Zeng Yi's attack trajectory.
The intense sword shadows flickered, and a clear humming sound echoed.
Tang San's Mysterious Jade Hand tightly grabbed the sharp blade of the Ronin Sword, blocking this strike. However, the hand holding the Ronin Sword was stained with blood.
Tang San was shocked. He had personally experienced the power of his own ultimate technique, Tang Sect's Mysterious Jade Hand. Even though the Blue Silver Grass was made of tough material, it couldn't be broken even by his full strength attack. But now, it couldn't withstand the sharpness of Zeng Yi's blade.
Zeng Yi was also astonished. He didn't expect Tang San to block his slash with his hand.
So this is Tang Sect's ultimate technique?
Looking at Tang San's palms, which were pure white like jade and appeared as if made of fine jade, Zeng Yi was not only amazed by the ingenuity and power of Tang Sect's ultimate technique but also his understanding.
He knew that what made Tang San able to survive in the Douluo Continent was not his full innate soul power or his Twin Martial Souls, but the Tang Sect's martial arts, techniques, and hidden weapons that he brought with him from his previous life.
Without feeling the pain in his hand, Tang San used [Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track] to quickly create distance between him and Zeng Yi. He knew that he currently didn't have the ability to confront Zeng Yi head-on.
With distance created by the [Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track], a purple soul ring flashed around his body. In an instant, a blue light shot out from Tang San's palm and flew towards Zeng Yi.
This blue light flew to Zeng Yi in an instant and turned into a blue net, enveloping him.
"Is it over?" Grandmaster murmured as he watched Zeng Yi being trapped by Tang San's net.
To be honest, Grandmaster was already quite surprised that Zeng Yi could withstand them and even suppress them during their five-person attack. He was satisfied with the coordination of the other five.
But he didn't believe that Zeng Yi could really win against Tang San and the others. Although Zeng Yi had much greater personal strength than the others, fighting against five opponents with coordinated teamwork was not as simple as one plus one.
Just like now, Zeng Yi was trapped by Tang San's third soul skill, [Spider Web Restraint]. Grandmaster knew very well how powerful this skill of his disciple was. Even a Spirit Master at the Soul King level couldn't break free from it. In his eyes, this battle was basically over.
Seeing Zeng Yi being trapped by the blue silver grass net, Ning Rongrong felt secretly delighted inside.
Later, she must thoroughly enjoy watching his miserable appearance and mock him. He must beg for mercy, and only then would she let her third brother release him from this spiderweb. Hahaha.
Evil thoughts swirled in Ning Rongrong's mind.
Is it over?
All the gazes on the battlefield were fixed on the blue net, and their nervousness slightly relaxed.
Although their battle with Zeng Yi lasted only an instant, the pressure he exerted on them was immense.
At that moment, their eyes were only filled with the sharp sword light that flashed before their eyes.
Only the blue net that enveloped Zeng Yi turned into countless fragments in an instant, floating and scattering. Zeng Yi's figure appeared in everyone's line of sight.
Shock filled the entire field!
"How is it possible?" Dai Mubai exclaimed. He had personally experienced how powerful this soul skill of Tang San's was. Although the net was made of Blue Silver Grass, it was extremely tough. Even he, a power attack system Spirit Douluo, couldn't break free from it, but instead struggled and became more entangled.
"Nothing is impossible. Although this Blue Silver Grass is tough, like steel, breaking steel is the most basic skill for a swordsman at the [Steel Cutting realm]."
Steel Cutting realm? Is that just a swordsman's basic attack! Ptou! What a joke!
Zeng Yi's silver eyes stared coldly at the six of them, his expression indifferent. The Ronin Sword in his hand was gleaming brightly, its silver-sharp blade flickering with a cold light. Three long swords were floating vertically and forming a triangle around Zeng Yi.
In the field, a sharp wind quietly blew, astonishing everyone present.
The wind revolved around Zeng Yi's body, lifting up fallen leaves and broken Blue Silver Grass, creating a visible miniature tornado in the field.
With the fluttering wind came a fierce momentum.
"Let's continue the second round, everyone."
...
[[Notes: Yeah, so I've done 5 chapters in total, covering past 2 days and today's quota.
And can we talk about how cringy it is when I call Yu Xiaogang "Grandmaster"? It just feels super weird to me.]]
