Soul Land: Power Of Space - 29. Attack Halfway
“This! This and This!”
Slender fingers glided over every item on the stall as Ning Rongrong touched her wrist, causing a small bag filled with gold spirit coins to materialize in her hand.
“Pay the money. I want everything you mentioned earlier!” she declared.
The vendor nodded and bowed, hastily calculating the total price before stating it. Ning Rongrong proudly slapped a few more gold spirit coins on the table and then placed the purchased items into her spirit guide.
After briefly assessing the remaining space and stored items in her bracelet, Ning Rongrong narrowed her eyes in delight.
These were all the treasures she had discovered while sifting through the waves on the beach.
Although these treasures meant little to her, being the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, many of them failed to catch her interest. However, she simply enjoyed the thrill of finding gold nuggets in the sand.
For a spirit master with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Spirit, being short of money was impossible. After all, their Martial Spirit possessed a special and powerful ability to sense treasures innately.
This sensory ability allowed them to acquire the most valuable things at the lowest cost. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, one of the top three sects, was “rich as a country”.
Of course, from a certain perspective, this wealth could be seen as compensating for the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower’s lack of combat capability. There was a saying: Having money is not everything, but not having money is absolutely impossible. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect embodied this saying perfectly. After all, they lacked fighting power.
So, during this shopping trip, Ning Rongrong had also dragged Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing along.
While women typically enjoyed shopping by nature, Zhu Zhuqing remained instinctively reserved. Even Xiao Wu, Instead of wearing her usual skimpy outfit, she had on a slightly loose dress with a neck protector.
Judging by her attire, one could see the inconveniences she faced during the daytime. Of course, Xiao Wu’s wardrobe wasn’t that extensive, and Ning Rongrong had actually lent her the dress.
Otherwise, given Xiao Wu’s personality, she would never go shopping with visible marks on her neck.
Recalling some unpleasant memory, Xiao Wu quickly drank some water to rinse her mouth and then spat disgustedly into the grass before wiping her mouth.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong looked at Xiao Wu’s strange behavior speechlessly. Ever since the incident at noon, Xiao Wu had been acting this way.
Frantically brushing her teeth in the dorm room. Occasionally drinking water to rinse her mouth and spitting it out.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong had no idea if her first kiss had been enjoyable or not. After all, they were also “theoretical” masters.
But judging by Xiao Wu’s current behavior, they couldn’t help but wonder, “Could it be that she ate garlic?”
Suddenly, Lu Yuan appeared in front of the three women, his face scratching with embarrassment and filled with depression.
Upon seeing the visitor’s face clearly, Xiao Wu instinctively retched. Evidently, the psychological trauma was significant and might take a while to dissipate.
Ning Rongrong raised an eyebrow and took a couple of steps to stand in front of Xiao Wu.
“Oh it’s our examiner!. Bullying a little girl is too much.” she exclaimed.
“Oh, so you want me to bully you instead?”
“Well, you might want to think twice about that. Oh, right! You don’t know who I am, do you?”
“It doesn’t matter who you are. Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo aren’t here anyway.”
Lu Yuan stretched out his hand with a mischievous smile and slowly reached towards Ning Rongrong, who had turned pale.
But a small hand grabbed Lu Yuan’s extended hand.
“Alright, enough with the act.”
Lu Yuan grinned and retracted his hand.
“Zhu Zhuqing, you’re no fun. I wanted to scare her first and then reveal myself.”
Ning Rongrong realized that the other party was just teasing her, and her face flushed with anger.
She stomped her feet in annoyance and was about to walk away.
“Do you want me to take you back?”
“No! I’ll leave on my own!”
“Shall we continue then?”
“Let’s go,! I can find my way back without you anyway!”
…
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Ning Rongrong instinctively looked back, only to be terrified.
Empty.
More precisely, it was the place where people should have been standing on the street, but now there was no one there.
After all, pedestrians and small vendors on the street were also considered humans.
Momentarily frozen and confused, Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth and stomped her feet before boldly walking back.
She had no idea she was followed by Lu Yuan and others, who couldn’t help but twitch.
Although Zhu Zhuqing didn’t smile, the corners of her mouth curved for a moment.
“Boss, what’s going on?”
“Spatial concealment.”
Lu Yuan scratched his nose in embarrassment.
The name sounds fancy, but it’s actually just optical invisibility. Manipulating space to project a certain scene and cover several people. Of course, it’s just a form of camouflage.
The bodies of the people are still present, and they can still be heard, touched, and attacked. But when combined with Lu Yuan’s special ability, it becomes quite difficult to defend against.
“In short, Ning Rongrong can’t see us.”
Lu Yuan briefly explained and continued to follow Ning Rongrong silently.
After following for a certain distance, when they were almost at the city gate, Zhu Zhuqing asked hesitantly:
“Is it appropriate to keep following?”
“What’s inappropriate?”
Lu Yuan dismissed the projection above his head, looked at Zhu Zhuqing, and asked a question.
He could see his opponent because he was the one who activated this ability, but his opponent couldn’t see him in this state.
So, in order to avoid the awkward situation of Zhu Zhuqing talking into thin air, Lu Yuan had to deactivate part of the projection.
Now this scene looked a bit eerie to outsiders.
A floating head that could talk.
However, in the eyes of Xiao Wu and the others, it was undeniably a scene too amusing to be taken seriously.
Unable to contain herself any longer, Xiao Wu burst out laughing with a “puchi”.
“Alright, enough with the nonsense. Those who continue talking nonsense will disappear.”
Lu Yuan covered his projection again in annoyance, but anyone could hear the embarrassment in his voice.
Night fell.
Walking along the country road, Ning Rongrong hummed loudly.
In the morning, the country road was filled with a hazy atmosphere. At noon, the country road exuded simplicity. In the evening, the country road was filled with poetic charm.
But a country road in the middle of the night…
Perfect for telling ghost stories.
A resentful voice carried by the wind reached Ning Rongrong’s ears.
“I’ve been wronged!”
“Little girl passing by, did you hear that?”
From the fright, Ning Rongrong’s teeth began chattering. Although her body was still facing forward, her eyes unconsciously glanced around.
“Hahahahaha!”
A loud laugh suddenly echoed behind Ning Rongrong.
Ning Rongrong was startled at first and trembled, but then she realized that the voice sounded familiar.
She turned around.
Only to see Lu Yuan and the others emerging from their concealed state.
Ning Rongrong’s face turned pale, then red.
Recalling the voice that sounded ambiguous earlier.
“Lu Yuan!”
“I’m going to kill you!”
Ning Rongrong rushed towards Lu Yuan and the others, baring her teeth and claws.
But in a moment of confusion, Lu Yuan’s expression changed dramatically.
Four black spirit rings appeared, then lit up.
Ning Rongrong froze.
What did this mean?
She was only joking!
Did he really have to go all out against her?
Lu Yuan also noticed the confusion on Ning Rongrong’s face, but it was too late for him to explain in detail.
Raising his hand, he grabbed a Flying Thunder God dagger from his storage space and threw it towards Ning Rongrong, then swiftly swiped his fingertip on the spot.
“Domain!”
Before she could speak, Lu Yuan had already appeared in front of Ning Rongrong, holding the Flying Thunder God Dagger in one hand and Ning Rongrong’s nape collar in the other.
“Kamui!”
The figures of Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong flickered almost simultaneously.
Then…
A massive hammer carrying powerful winds and lightning descended from the sky. It passed right through the bodies of Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong, directly striking the spatial barrier created by Lu Yuan.
The spatial barrier trembled, generating more than a dozen small circular ripples that gradually spread and eventually stabilized.
At the core of the ripples was the massive hammer wreathed in lightning!
Fortunately, the spatial barrier was strong enough, and his reaction speed had been increased by 50%.
Otherwise, Lu Yuan had no doubt that they would have been crushed into minced meat under the weight of that giant hammer.
“The Clear Sky Hammer!”
“Tang Hao!”
