Black and red light appeared around Tang San and the others, seeping into their bodies.
In that instant, they felt their speed towards Zhao Wuji increase.
Zhu Zhuqing, already a speed-type attacker, almost overshot her momentum. Fortunately, her mental strength also rose. With her heightened senses, she stomped heavily on the ground, then abruptly turned back. She covered her hands with a layer of purple energy, transforming them into claws, and slashed fiercely at Zhao Wuji!
"First Soul Skill, Netherworld Pounce!"
Sharp light covered her claw-transformed hands. These claws, capable of effortlessly tearing through prey, struck swiftly. It was like a phantom cat-fist capable of more than ten strikes per second, all landing on Zhao Wuji's unarmored arms.
Simultaneously, Tang San arrived behind Zhao Wuji. He firmly planted his stance, lowered his waist, shifted his center of gravity, and pressed his entire body close to Zhao Wuji's vulnerable waist, sealing his retreat.
"Boom—!"
Xiao Wu's kick struck directly at Zhao Wuji's chest from the front.
Cracked stones on the ground were lifted by the powerful wind, rolling several times.
Trapped by the three, Zhao Wuji looked down at Xiao Wu's astonished expression. He grinned and, unaffected, raised his head and stomped heavily on the ground!
"Bang—!"
The three were forced back several meters. A powerful and imposing aura erupted from Zhao Wuji. Earth-yellow soul power fluctuations rippled outwards, like facing a hurricane. This sudden and immense power made cold sweat instantly bead on the foreheads of the retreating Tang San and the others.
Such a potent aura!
Just his mere presence had almost frozen him in place, unable to move!
Was this the power of a Soul Sage?
Tang San looked at the unharmed Zhao Wuji with a grave expression, secretly grateful that his sister's first soul skill included a 10% defense boost and 35% mental strength increase. Otherwise, they would have been severely injured by the counter-shock if they had reacted even a fraction slower!
It wasn't just Tang San who felt fortunate. Zhu Zhuqing, experiencing Tang Sui's support effects for the first time, was also inwardly shocked.
She had been closest to that powerful oppressive force. The sudden surge of aura had almost blanked her mind for a moment. But the next second, she reacted swiftly, her body instinctively retreating at high speed.
It was at this moment that she realized she had been boosted not just in speed, but also in defense and mental strength!
Amateurs watch the spectacle, while insiders observe the skill.
Ning Rongrong, whose martial soul was also support-type, was the first to feel the changes in her body. Her gaze towards Tang Sui beside her was filled with shock.
"You, your support effects aren't just single-attribute enhancements, are they?"
Her question drew the attention of the others.
Although being distracted on the battlefield was a major taboo in warfare, this was not a true battle but a school exam, which in a way was a form of sparring.
Zhao Wuji, who was already curious about Tang Sui, paused his actions. His gaze fixed intently on Tang Sui, this year's sole outstanding Spirit Master prodigy.
Generally, there were two criteria for judging whether a support-type Spirit Master's martial soul was of the highest quality. The first was an outstanding martial soul of a single type, with great potential for specializing in that single attribute. The second type was like Tang Sui, where the support effect of the first soul skill alone surpassed single-attribute enhancement, offering multiple buffs! What's more, these buffs were area-of-effect!
Tang Sui nodded calmly, admitting, "That's right. My first soul skill, Spirit Infusion, can provide group buffs of 35% speed, 10% defense, and 35% mental strength. And if the level difference isn't significant, or if their soul power level is lower than mine, it consumes almost nothing from me."
After all, if their soul power was low, a mere 20 points of mental strength was nothing. With her current 1200 mental strength, she was a super supporter!
