Wu Zhangkong casually flicked his wooden sword, precisely hitting all the ice cones and easily dissolving them.
He even used his wooden sword to shatter a Light Blade that Xie Xie had unleashed with his spirit ring, wielding his Light Dragon Dagger.
At this moment, Tang Wulin again threw his Thousand Forging Tungsten Steel Hammer, this time with two hammers sweeping horizontally, covering a wider area.
Shaking his head slightly, Wu Zhangkong suddenly unleashed his Soul Power, broke free from the ground, and leaped up, easily jumping out of the encirclement. All three of their attacks missed.
The entire battle was simply one-sided.
Even though they had seen Wu Zhangkong and Arthur fight before.
However, experiencing it firsthand, the pressure Wu Zhangkong exerted far exceeded their imagination.
The more they fought, the more powerless they felt.
"Stop." After landing, Wu Zhangkong called a halt to the training, gathered the three of them, and briefly commented on the coordination issues they had just displayed.
Then he looked at Arthur: "Arthur, how about you fight them?"
Wu Zhangkong wanted to observe a battle between them and Arthur, which would allow him to identify more problems.
He was very clear about Arthur's fighting style, hitting opponents' weaknesses with every move, which was too miraculous.
Even Wu Zhangkong, as a top Spirit Emperor, could always find his own shortcomings after each sparring session.
"Okay." Arthur walked over directly, not even needing a warm-up, after all, it wouldn't take long.
Xie Xie harbored anticipation; he certainly wasn't Arthur's opponent in a one-on-one.
But now it was three against one!
No matter what, Arthur was only a Spirit Elder. The advantage was with them.
Tang Wulin was different from Xie Xie; he was reviewing his recent battle with Wu Zhangkong and the critiques, thinking about how to avoid making the same mistakes in the upcoming fight.
Gu Yue, on the other hand, was full of curiosity. How would Arthur deal with the three of them?
Taking the wooden sword from Wu Zhangkong, Arthur swung it a few times, "Are you ready? Like Teacher Wu, I won't use my Martial Soul or Martial Soul Abilities."
"Are you sure?" Xie Xie couldn't believe it; was Arthur that arrogant?
He wouldn't even use his Martial Soul or Martial Soul Abilities against the three of them?
Frowning, Xie Xie admitted Arthur was strong, often sparring evenly with Teacher Wu during training, but that didn't mean Arthur could easily defeat the three of them like the teacher.
"Begin!" Seeing that they were ready, Wu Zhangkong's cold voice rang out from the side.
Whoosh... In an instant, Arthur charged directly at Xie Xie, his speed accelerating to its limit in a short time.
His expression startled, Xie Xie didn't take it seriously in his heart, gripping his Light Dragon Dagger in reverse, secretly ready to unleash his Shadow Dragon Dagger at any moment.
He was an agility-attack system Battle Spirit Master; Arthur seeking him out first was a mistake.
Staring intently at the charging figure, Xie Xie was suddenly shocked—he couldn't see Arthur clearly anymore!
Arthur's figure became blurry and indistinct, with multiple afterimages. Xie Xie's speed burst and flexibility were indeed good, but they couldn't compare to his.
Therefore, the moment Arthur activated his "Instant Light" Movement Technique, he was destined to lose.
The figure before him grew increasingly blurry, multiple afterimages disrupting Xie Xie's judgment, making even precise dagger parries a luxury.
Before Xie Xie could react, Arthur had already glided past his twin blades like Gui Mei, his wooden sword lightly brushing against his neck.
Everything happened in a flash. Tang Wulin was slow to activate his Blue Silver Grass.
With a slight shift of his feet, Arthur cleverly avoided the Blue Silver Grass's Binding. At the same time, he sidestepped Tang Wulin's continuous horizontal sweeps of the Thousand Forging Tungsten Steel Hammer.
With a gentle flick, the wooden sword trembled in his hand, its tip precisely tapping the side of the Forging hammer.
A clever force dissipated the hammer's momentum, making Tang Wulin's wrist tingle slightly.
Another tap, and another surge of firm force erupted. With a combination of soft and hard, Tang Wulin couldn't help but let go, and the Thousand Forging Tungsten Steel Hammer heavily crashed to the ground. He was instantly stunned.
Finally, Arthur turned, passed through the network of various elements released by Gu Yue, and rested the wooden sword on her shoulder.
In just a few breaths, the three of them were defeated by Arthur with pure Movement Technique and timing control.
Xie Xie froze in place, cold sweat beading on his forehead, the sensation of the wooden sword brushing his neck still lingering.
Tang Wulin felt the soft-then-hard force from earlier, his eyes filled with shock.
Gu Yue retracted her elemental power, staring at Arthur thoughtfully.
The battle ended even faster than the previous one.
In the fight with Wu Zhangkong, they at least managed a few more moves. But in the battle with Arthur, they were defeated so thoroughly.
This was also related to Arthur's fighting style.
Xie Xie couldn't match his speed, so he was instantly killed by Instant Light.
Tang Wulin couldn't match his strength, so he was crushed by Meteorite.
As for Gu Yue... well, there's no need to mention Gu Yue.
"Very good." Wu Zhangkong's cold voice came, just as he expected. Arthur's one-hit kill revealed more problems. "Take a break, training continues."
...By the time training ended, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie were already exhausted, a double torment for body and mind.
In comparison, Gu Yue was in better shape, but she blinked her big eyes, her index finger touching her lips.
Then she leaned towards Arthur, "Oh dear, I'm so tired."
"Arthur, help me back."
Can you act any faker?
Shaking his head helplessly, Arthur helped Gu Yue away.
Waiting for everyone to leave, Wu Zhangkong cleaned up and closed the venue. Through a day of training, the talents of these three were even better than he had imagined.
Starting from the second day, Tang Wulin no longer had to participate in physical training, the reason was simple.
In Wu Zhangkong's view, ordinary training was useless for an anomaly with Tang Wulin's extraordinary talent. It was better to use the time for other Cultivation, such as practicing Blue Silver Grass control.
Days of training passed.
This day, after finishing his daily sparring session with Wu Zhangkong, Arthur was about to return to his dorm.
On a bench along the tree-lined path leading to the dorm, sat a middle-aged man. He simply sat there quietly.
The shadows under the surrounding trees seemed to brighten a bit.
"Uncle, why are you here?" Sitting beside the big man, Arthur asked, puzzled.
After enrolling in East Sea Academy, he rarely saw his uncle.
After Arthur had established a solid foundation and could steadily improve on his own, and after enrolling in East Sea, Agravaine frequently traveled on business, circulating through surrounding cities to search for traces of Evil Soul Masters.
However, he generally wouldn't leave for too long, nor would he pursue Evil Soul Masters to the death.
After all, the most important thing now was to Cultivate Arthur and wait for this unprecedented Genius, in his opinion, to grow.
"Little Arthur." Agravaine said with a smile, "How have you been doing lately?"
His ahoge stood up, and Arthur didn't hesitate for a moment, getting up and leaving.
He knew this old man too well; every time he showed that smile, it meant trouble.
"Hey, don't be in such a hurry. Your uncle has been waiting for you here for a long time." Agravaine's figure suddenly flashed to Arthur's side, walking alongside him.
"Speak, what is it?"
"Little Arthur, if you encountered an Evil Soul Master of the Spirit King Rank, what would you do?"
His walking steps paused. Arthur turned his head, full of interest: "Are you saying...?"
"I found an Evil Soul Master in the neighboring city. I originally intended to just kill him." Agravaine said expectantly, "But I found that he's only a Spirit King. Although Evil Soul Masters are very strong at the same Realm, compared to other excellent normal Soul Masters who are Spirit Kings, he doesn't have a Battle Armor yet."
"Want to give it a try?"
