Chapter 171: Educating the Little Ones
The little ones continued with their 1v1 and 2v2 soul fights, and it was clear that their combat abilities had significantly improved.
Ning Bei silently nodded and made his way to the nearby training stage.
"Have you guys tried team soul fighting?"
Ning Bei's voice gathered everyone's attention.
"Second Young Master!"
"Ning Bei Brother!"
"Master!"
The little ones politely greeted him, with only Ning Rongrong glaring at her older brother with disdain.
"We, as Soul Kings, can't even match teams with high-level Soul Emperors, okay?"
"Uh..."
Ning Bei froze for a moment at his sister's complaint. He hadn't considered that situation.
"Is that so? Then would you like me to be your opponent?"
"Huh?"
Ah Bao and the others exchanged looks. Although they were eager to practice their team coordination in real combat, directly facing Ning Bei, a Title Douluo, seemed like a futile challenge.
Ning Rongrong, even more upset, pouted and angrily said, "Brother, if you want to beat us, just say it. We, a bunch of small fries, aren't even enough to fit between your teeth!"
Xiao Wu also glared at him, secretly thinking that Ning Bei was really a big bad.
Noticing the expressions of the little ones, Ning Bei wasn't angry. He walked to the center of the stage and unleashed his soul power, forming a circle about two meters in diameter on the ground.
"I won't attack you first. You can use any means you want, as long as you can get me out of this circle, you win. What do you think?"
Upon hearing that Ning Bei had lowered the difficulty so much, the little ones began to get excited.
They were all top-tier among their peers, so they weren't without their pride. If they could make Ning Bei admit defeat, even under the rules, they'd be thrilled.
Before they could agree, Ning Bei threw out another incentive.
"The one who performs the best will get a reward!"
Upon hearing this, the little ones immediately became even more excited, their hesitation vanishing.
"Then we're coming, Second Young Master!"
They all took their positions on the training stage, standing opposite Ning Bei. Before they could prepare, Ning Rongrong spoke up again.
"Hey, hey, hey, Brother, this isn't fair! They can all go up and perform, what about me, a little support?"
Ning Bei thought for a moment, then replied, "Hmm, you're right. How about this? As long as someone, with your support, can make me move a step, you'll have done well. How does that sound?"
Ning Rongrong's face immediately lit up with joy. She thought to herself that her brother was indeed on her side and had given her a special allowance.
"Hehe, I've got this reward in the bag!"
Seeing Ning Rongrong's confident expression, Ning Bei couldn't help but smile wickedly inside, thinking, "Stinky sister, you'll have your crying moment later!"
After resolving all doubts, the little ones quickly dispersed across the training stage, preparing their formation.
Long Nianbing, Ah Bao, and Xiao Wu stood in a line in front of Ning Bei, while Zhu Zhuqing circled behind him, preparing to strike when the opportunity arose.
Since Ning Bei had promised not to move, they weren't worried about Ning Rongrong's safety. Nami and Ye Yin Zhu stood in front of her, preparing to provide control and support for the front line.
"If you're ready, let's begin."
With Ning Bei's command, Ning Rongrong quickly unleashed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile.
"Seven Treasures Famous—No Rest for the Workers!"
Four-colored halos appeared on each person, and the little ones' momentum instantly increased.
Ning Bei didn't interfere with his sister's actions, watching as she completed the support task.
Zhu Zhuqing, moving incessantly behind him, was full of hesitation. To her, Ning Bei standing casually in the middle of the stage was full of openings.
However, having witnessed Ning Bei in action before, she didn't dare attack rashly.
On the other hand, the energetic Xiao Wu had no such concerns. After receiving her sister's support, she activated her soul skill and rushed toward Ning Bei.
Seeing her movements, Nami quickly used her first and third soul skills.
"Third Soul Skill—Tide Summoning Aid."
Three water balls appeared around Xiao Wu, increasing the power of her next soul skill by thirty percent.
"Fifth Soul Skill—Soft Bone Lock."
Seeing that Ning Bei hadn't made any move, Xiao Wu quickly launched her soul skill, locking him in a very ungraceful posture, waiting for the water bubbles to trap them both.
Xiao Wu's movements reminded her of the King of Destruction from her past life, when He Jin Yin locked Master Brother.
Feeling that Ning Bei was thoroughly locked, Xiao Wu smiled smugly.
"Nami, send the water bubble!"
Nami saw the opportunity and quickly threw a water bubble to where they were standing.
But Xiao Wu didn't stop her Soft Bone Lock just because of the water bubble. She thought that if she could be trapped with Ning Bei, it would still count as a trade-off. In that case, they would have won.
Ning Bei, understanding Xiao Wu's intentions, smirked and then slightly moved his right hand in the air.
A cube-shaped ice block appeared in the air and then went directly from Xiao Wu's collar into her back.
"Ah!"
Xiao Wu let out a scream, realizing that the ice block was at absolute zero. She immediately shivered all over, unable to maintain her Soft Bone Lock.
She quickly jumped back to the ground, shaking her neck vigorously.
After a moment, the ice block fell from the hem of her clothes and landed on the ground. Upon contact with the tiles, a thick layer of ice began to form in a ten-meter radius.
While shaking, Xiao Wu glared at Ning Bei with a fierce look.
"Is this something a person does?"
Ning Bei chuckled but didn't pay attention to Xiao Wu's indignation. He waved his hand, using soul power to dispel Nami's water bubble, successfully neutralizing the first wave of attacks from the little ones.
Before Ning Bei could start to taunt, the ground suddenly flashed with a faint light, and Ah Bao, wielding his giant scythe, charged forward.
"Fourth Soul Skill—Split Shadow Strike!"
Ah Bao, with no hesitation, launched his strongest attack, aiming to penetrate Ning Bei's body.
To cover Ah Bao's movements, Long Nianbing even summoned the Ao Tian sword to clear the way.
Ning Bei laughed softly, not showing any signs of panic.
He slightly expanded his domain, and Ah Bao, along with the flying kitchen knife, collided with a thick ice layer, unable to move forward.
Seeing this, Ah Bao quickly changed his strategy. His third soul ring lit up, and he fused into the earth again, disappearing from sight.
At that moment, a sharp sound of a string instrument reached their ears. It was Ye Yin Zhu using his soul skill, with his fourth soul ring activating.
Ning Bei, still curious about his soul skill, did not yet deploy his spiritual defense.
Soon after, Dugu Yan and Qian Renxue suddenly appeared in front of Ning Bei.
Both women looked very displeased, glaring at each other with intense hatred.
