"The Seven Treasures have names: first, strength. Second, speed."
As two rays of light entered their bodies, Tang San and Xiao Wu instantly felt a warm energy surge from their limbs and bones, filling their entire bodies with strength. Even the spirit power within their bodies seemed to boil and surge upward.
At the same time, their enhanced agility made Tang San feel as if his body had lost weight. He secretly marveled at how the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda truly lived up to its reputation, worthy of being the number one auxiliary spirit.
At this moment, with Ning Rongrong's assistance, both his and Xiao Wu's speed and strength had increased by thirty percent simultaneously, making him feel that his strength had greatly increased.
And just at this moment, Oscar held the Frost Moon Sword and directly swung three icy sword qi toward the three of them.
"Not good." Tang San exclaimed softly. The moment Oscar launched his attack, he already understood what the opponent intended to do.
His teacher, Grandmaster, had once said that if one day they encountered an opponent with a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda spirit master, they must first eliminate the spirit master with this auxiliary spirit.
And Oscar's attack target at this moment was all three of them, but perhaps Tang San and Xiao Wu could dodge with speed, but what about Ning Rongrong, who was an auxiliary type?
However, Tang San's reaction was not slow. He saw him suddenly leap up, while spirit power flashed on his body's surface. Two purple-black blue silver grass vines shot out toward Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, pulling them up just as the icy sword qi was about to hit them.
At the same time, Tang San shouted to Xiao Wu: "Xiao Wu, attack!"
Xiao Wu didn't need to use her eyes to know where Tang San's hand was. After six years together, they had already achieved complete tacit understanding.
Xiao Wu's toes tapped Tang San's palm, using the pushing force from Tang San to shoot toward Oscar below like an arrow.
In Tang San's plan, offense was the best defense. If they chose to passively take hits at this moment and let Oscar display all his strength, they would definitely have no chance.
So in Tang San's view, it would be better to attack instead of defend, perhaps buying more time.
It's just that Tang San didn't expect that Oscar was not Zhao Wuji. Although he wanted to test Tang San's ability, Oscar would not hold back.
As Xiao Wu shot toward him, spirit power blossomed on her body. In the next moment, her eyes turned pink, and she stared at Oscar.
At this moment, Xiao Wu had activated her second spirit skill, Charm. This skill belonged to control-type abilities. If the enemy's spiritual power was lower than hers, they would be forcibly charmed and stunned. Of course, if the enemy was mesmerized by her beauty, they would also fall into a charmed state.
But in Oscar's eyes, she was nothing more than a walking hundred-thousand-year spirit ring spirit bone. Although her appearance was nice, her essence was still a spirit beast, and a rabbit at that...
Not to mention that Oscar's spiritual power far exceeded Xiao Wu's. The moment Xiao Wu tried to charm Oscar, she saw his spiritual power activate. Xiao Wu staggered in mid-air, then blood flowed from her nose and mouth as she fell to the ground.
Before Xiao Wu could even launch her attack, she was injured by the backlash of her own spirit skill.
The assessment had just begun, and Xiao Wu had lost her combat ability due to her thoughtless actions. Oscar shook his head slightly upon seeing this.
In his view, in the original story, Tang San and the others were able to gain Zhao Wuji's approval, so they shouldn't lack such combat awareness, right? How could this Xiao Wu dare to use her charm ability right from the start?
Suddenly, Oscar remembered that it wasn't that Xiao Wu was too foolish, but that they didn't know his spiritual power far exceeded that of his peers.
Spirit masters below level fifty had very shallow utilization of spiritual power, so in Xiao Wu's own view, even if her second spirit skill couldn't affect Oscar, it shouldn't have caused backlash.
But what she didn't expect was that Oscar's Spirit Power had already reached the level of a high-ranking Spirit Emperor, and his mastery of using Spirit Power was already at a peak state.
That was why Xiao Wu was directly backlashed by her own Spirit Skill, which could only be said to be incredibly bad luck for Xiao Wu.
And when Tang San saw Xiao Wu suddenly fall injured to the ground, his eyes instantly turned blood red: "Xiao Wu!"
In an instant, Tang San could no longer care about anything else. The Spirit Power on his body erupted violently, and countless Blue Silver Grass crazily shot toward Oscar.
Seeing this scene, Oscar frowned slightly. Having read the original work, he naturally knew the trope of "When Xiao Wu is injured, Tang San goes berserk," but he never imagined that Tang San would be foolish enough to completely disregard the consumption of Spirit Power and casually release his Spirit Skills just because Xiao Wu was injured?
However, Tang San was too weak now. The reason Oscar personally came to test Tang San and the others was also to experience his Tang Sect's unique techniques.
Seeing countless Blue Silver Grass wrapping toward him, Oscar formed a sword gesture with one hand, instantly condensing five flying ice swords that formed a rotating sword array in front of him.
The sharp ice swords directly chopped up all the incoming Blue Silver Grass, not giving them any chance to get close.
At the same time, Oscar's Frost Moon Sword suddenly shot toward Ning Rongrong. Ning Rongrong had been continuously providing support to Tang San, so eliminating her first was the best option.
As an auxiliary Spirit Master, Ning Rongrong's speed was naturally not fast. At this moment, Tang San was enraged by Xiao Wu's injury and didn't have time to pay attention to Ning Rongrong, so Oscar's Frost Moon Sword was directly placed across Ning Rongrong's neck.
"You're eliminated too." Oscar's voice sounded flatly, then he controlled the Frost Moon Sword to kill toward Tang San.
Ning Rongrong helplessly pursed her lips, canceled the support she was giving to Tang San, then she looked at the suddenly irrational Tang San and felt a bit angry in her heart. What about your plan? Your tactics? What about protecting me like you promised?
However, Tang San at this moment didn't notice Ning Rongrong's abnormality. Feeling the danger, Tang San quickly retreated, avoiding the first attack of the Frost Moon Sword.
But after avoiding the first attack, the second attack of the Frost Moon Sword arrived in an instant. Moreover, without the Blue Silver Grass's offensive, the five ice swords in front of Oscar also flew toward Tang San at the same time.
Oscar didn't even use a single Spirit Skill and directly eliminated Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong. Although Tang San was angry, he hadn't lost his reason, because the anger was real, but losing his mind was an act.
He wanted to use Blue Silver Grass to charge forward, and then it would be easier to activate his second Spirit Skill, Parasitic, but Oscar didn't give him any chance at all, even directly controlling the flying swords to attack him.
Tang San could feel the terror of the flying swords and didn't dare to take them head-on. He discovered that this senior Oscar's strength was simply terrifying. Just using his Martial Soul without even using Spirit Skills had completely suppressed him.
But he wasn't just a Spirit Master; he was also a Tang Sect disciple!
Since his little plan didn't work, Tang San had to take this seriously. He couldn't let Xiao Wu be injured for nothing! At this point, he had no intention of hiding his strength anymore.
Xiao Wu's injury and unconsciousness had a huge impact on his emotions, and his heart was filled with self-blame. As a brother who failed to protect his sister, if he couldn't get justice for her, what right did he have to accept the title of brother?
Seeing six flying swords—the five ice swords plus the Frost Moon Sword—locking onto him, Tang San suddenly took a strange step with his feet the moment the swords were about to attack him, and he actually escaped from the encirclement of the six flying swords?
Oscar saw this scene with a smile still on his face, thinking to himself: "This is the Tang Sect's unique technique, Ghost Shadow Phantom Steps? The footwork is indeed exquisite, but it's useless against me."
Tang San broke through the blockade, his body instantly accelerating as he charged toward Oscar. Without the added strength and speed from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Tang San's speed was significantly slower, but he still had the Tang Sect's unique technique, Ghost Shadow Phantom Steps.
And at this moment, Tang San's arms were slightly trembling, allowing his body to quickly adapt to his current state without enhancement. At the same time, his hands had gradually turned white, jade-like and lustrous, with faint currents of air seeming to flow between his fingers.
His head was slightly lowered, preventing Oscar from seeing that his eyes had completely turned purple. When Tang San suddenly raised his head, a purple light suddenly surged in his eyes.
Oscar's gaze remained fixed on Tang San, watching his changes. Oscar murmured to himself: "Mystic Jade Hands, Purple Demon Eyes... things from the martial world have come to this different world, and as they've integrated with this new element of soul power, some changes have occurred... Just as I suspected."
At the same time, Tang San's hands swept across his waist, and over a dozen flashes of cold light erupted from his fingertips as he lightly flicked them. These projectiles shot toward Oscar's eyes, shoulders, throat, heart, knees, groin, and lower abdomen. Not a single one of these attacks targeted the same location, and every one aimed at vital points.
"Shhhhhhhhh..." -- the sound of projectiles tearing through the air.
The ear-piercing whistle of projectiles tearing through the air startled even Dai Mubai, who was watching from the sidelines. He couldn't help but think: "Is this guy a porcupine? Launching this many hidden weapons all at once?"
