"Ning Rongrong, you are wrong, the strong are respected in the world! On the battlefield, as long as I defeat all the opponents, my teammates will be safe."
Tang San defended himself.
"But if this is the battlefield, your teammates are already dead now! And you are about to encounter an agility type spirit master with an attack buff. There will also be support from the side."
Ning Rongrong's words are very simple. Normally, in such a situation you will undoubtedly die.
"Huh, it's useless to say more."
Tang San's meaning was obvious, he was about to make a move.
"Hehe, then you can try!"
Ning Rongrong smiled faintly, then turned her head and said to the two girls beside her: "Yanzi, Chenxiang, go down, let me do it myself!"
"This?" Bai Chenxiang hesitated.
You are a auxiliary soul master! Now that Tang San was so aggressive, even she felt threatened.
Is Ning Rongrong really good?
And Bai Chenxiang's worries are also the worries of most people.
Everyone could see that Tang San, who was propped up by eight spider legs, was so hideous and evil.
What can an auxiliary soul master do? Do you want to use the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda like a brick and smash him?
This is very unrealistic.
"Chenxiang, you have to believe in Rongrong, she can definitely win."
In the field, only Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing knew Ning Rongrong's strength best.
Don't look at Ning Rongrong who spends everyday either eating and sleeping, or pestering Lin Yan, in fact her strength has improved extremely fast.
In terms of pure power, there is no big problem for her to oppose a power system Soul King.
And what about Tang San?
His posture is indeed very pretentious, but at best he is just a soul ancestor.
If it weren't for Ning Rongrong's fearing that Bai Chenxiang would be carelessly injured, Bai Chenxiang alone could easily crush Tang San.
"Well then." Bai Chenxiang saw that the other party insisted her not to speak too much. So she withdrew
There was also a temporary silence in the field.
Although all the teachers wanted to stop Ning Rongrong's actions, but Dugu Bo didn't speak, so it would not be their turn to speak.
Soon, Dugu Yan pulled Bai Chenxiang and withdrew from the field.
Dugu Yan secretly smiled as she went back.
It would be wrong to assume that Ning Rongrong was really a support type soul master.
Her terrifying power is even more fierce than a soul beast.
"Little San, be careful!"
Zhao Wuji reminded him to be careful seeing the confidence of Dugu Yan in Ning Rongrong.
However, Tang San didn't care at all, he roared and rushed up like a beast.
"Hehe, I didn't even have to move to reach you now."
Ning Rongrong smiled, she could feel the evil power of the spirit bone attached to him.
But what about this?
In the face of absolute power, everything weird will be broken.
Therefore, Ning Rongrong did not move!
In the field, everyone held their breath.
Tang San jumped into the air and had already arrived in front of Ning Rongrong.
Do you really think just because you are the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, I dare not kill you?
A flash of coldness flashed in Tang San's eyes, he thought that Ning Rongrong wants to use her own identity and force him to stop.
But that is impossible.
A spider spear covered with barbs and shining with cold light pierced directly at her.
The terrifying speed pierced the air, that suddenly issued a shrill scream.
"Hide."
"Is she scared to be silly?"
"Tang San is so cruel, the girl is so cute, how can he hurt her."
...
The hearts of the people around were raised. And secretly squeezed a sweat for Ning Rongrong.
But the next moment, people forgot to breathe.
Because they saw an unforgettable scene.
How could this be?
It was stopped.
The picture seemed to become still. Tang San used seven spider legs to pierce at Ning Rongrong's eyebrows with a spider spear, and the cold light was only an inch away from the girl's eyebrows.
Of course, this was not Tang San's kindness. But no matter how hard he tried, the Spider Lance seemed to have an insurmountable gap before it, and it was difficult to make a step further.
Because a small hand, white as jade, tightly held the spider spear.
"Ning Rongrong's reaction speed is so fast!"
"Do you see the hand move? Look at that power, it can be comparable to the Soul King!"
"Did you see the power? Did you see her holding the spider spear's hand? There was no blood, what a terrifying defense."
The people present are at least the Soul King level, and their visions are naturally different. But the deeper they understand, the more confused they are.
"With Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, can you give yourself such a powerful buff?"
"To be honest, I don't deserve this kind of help!"
In the field, Ning Rongrong frowned and shook her head gently.
There was a chill in her tone.
"Tang San, Tang San, I gave you the opportunity to keep your hand, but you can't hold it! You didn't hold back your power even at this distance. You really want to kill me."
This Tang San is so bold. During the competition, the black hand was openly played! ?
Zhao Wuji's face was frosty. "Tang San, stop."
Tang San made a pause.
However, just when everyone thought the game was over. They found that they had the wrong idea
Because this is just the beginning.
Tang San didn't say a word, and two sharp spider spears stabbed at Ning Rongrong.
Ning Rongrong's expression changed slightly.
Her face became cold.
Between the opening and closing of her eyes, the cold light flowed like electricity.
In the horrified eyes of everyone, she applied terrifying force to the Eight Spider Lance in her hands.
"Uh... what a terrifying power!"
As the terrifying force hit, Tang San was horrified to find that he could not resist it.
Then, he went on the defensive and could no longer maintain his attack, because his whole body was violently moved.
Ning Rongrong turned Tang San around twice, pulling the Eight Spider Lances, and smashing Tang San to the ground heavily.
"Boom."
The bluestone ground was slightly sunken, and clusters of cobweb-like cracks appeared.
"Hiss. This girl is too terrifying."
Bai Chenxiang exclaimed.
Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan looked at each other and saw the chill in each other's eyes.
"Do you think this is over? You are still too young!"
The next scene seemed to confirm the feelings of the two.
Tang San was like a sandbag and Ning Rongrong carried him left and right and smashed the ground wildly.
Looking at the violent figure in a white dress the corners of everyone's eyes twitched frantically.
You say that you are a good assistance soul master?
How can she be more violent than a strong assault type soul master?
I suspect that my identity as a power attack type spirit master is fake... Many power attack type soul masters that were present here, cried sad tears.
"Now, have you woken up?"
After a while, Ning Rongrong finally stopped.
She stroked the slightly messy hair behind her ear, and looked at Tang San lying in the deep pit condescendingly as a winner.
Tang San was very embarrassed, his clothes torn and his hair unruly.
His face was even more blue and purple. There was only one pair of brows frowning, and they didn't know if it was because of pain or because of anger.
He could detect countless gazes, like countless pairs of invisible slaps, slammed on his face fiercely.
It makes his cheeks sore.
Ning Rongrong looked at Tang San deeply and left.
But she didn't go out a few steps before she was stopped again.
"You stop!"
Tang San roared weakly.
However, before Ning Rongrong turned around, she heard bursts of exclamation from the field.
"Be careful!"
"You dare!"
"Stop!"
Ning Rongrong also noticed the danger. Unexpectedly, Tang San was so insidious that he would release a hidden weapon to attack her!
It has to be said that this hidden weapon is very fast.
As many as cow hair, like a dense rain of golden light it moved towards Ning Rongrong.

MAY 29
INTERNATIONAL EVEREST DAY
____________________________________________
Mount Everest is renowned all over the globe for being the tallest mountain there is! Many people dream of one day seeing this gigantic elevation in person, and perhaps even climbing its formidable slopes and summiting its awe-inspiring peak.
International Everest Day is a chance to celebrate this amazing natural wonder and the intrepid adventurers who have braved the climb.
Located at the border between Nepal and China in the Himalayas, Everest is a mountain that has accumulated many names over the years. Its Nepali name, Sagarmāthā, translates as 'the Head in the Great Blue Sky', the Tibetan word Qomolangma means 'Holy Mother', while the English name comes from the British Surveyor General of India, Sir George Everest.
Attempts to climb Mount Everest began in the 1920s, with various expeditions led by the British. While several climbers made it close to the summit, it wasn't until 1953 during the ninth expedition that this ultimate feat was finally accomplished by Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary.
The adventurous pair, Norgay a Nepali-Indian Sherpa and Hillary a New Zealander, summitted Everest at 11:30am on 29 May, becoming the first people to ever set foot on this world-famous mountaintop. While there is a possibility that two other climbers, George Mallory and Andrew Irvine, reached the peak back in 1924, the duo disappeared after they departed for the final leg of their journey and it is unknown if they managed to achieve their mission, with Mallory's body discovered in 1999. Norgay and Hillary are therefore the first mountaineers to officially summit Mount Everest.
Since 1953, thousands of others have gone on to climb the mountain, with more and more visitors each year, some as young as 13 and others up to the impressive age of 80! And Everest isn't just a mountaineering site but also a hot spot for winter sports, used for skiing, snowboarding, paragliding and even BASE jumping.
When Hillary passed away in 2008, Nepal founded International Everest Day in his honor and chose the date of Hillary and Norgay's summit as the day to mark the occasion. While various events and memorials are observed in the region, this day has gone on to be celebrated all over the world.
And of course it's not just in honor of the climbers, but also the magnificent mountain itself. Everest is particularly special in Nepalese and Sherpa culture, held to be a sacred spot. Sherpas treat Chomolungma (meaning 'Mother of the World') with the greatest of respects and make offerings to the mountain as part of a puja ceremony before attempting climbs. They have also been instrumental in environmental protection efforts, cleaning up waste that litters the mountainside to ensure its beauty is preserved for the future.
At a height of almost 8,850 meters (over 29,000 foot), Everest is the tallest mountain in the world when measured from sea level. And those intrepid explorers hoping to scale its summit have a myriad of challenges awaiting them…
Given its altitude, one of the main barriers to overcome is the low oxygen levels, with air pressure at the peak a third of what it is at sea level. Climbers need time to adjust and usually carry supplemental oxygen above 8,000 meters, else they risk altitude sickness and even death. In recent years the popularity of Everest has posed an added threat, with large queues near the summit meaning that climbers have to deal with the lack of oxygen for increasingly longer periods.
Another difficulty is the icy weather, which can lead to frostbite if mountaineers expose their bodies to the cold for too long. Other dangers include the treacherous conditions on the mountain, particularly the crevasses and ravines in the Khumbu Icefall, and the ever-present risk of strong winds, blizzards and avalanches.
Sadly, more than 300 climbers have lost their lives on the mountain. Eight people died in 1996 after getting caught out in a blizzard, and 2014 and 2015 saw back-to-back tragedies resulting from avalanches.
In order to mitigate the toughness of the challenge, people tend to climb during a very short period of just over a week between the summer and winter – this allows them to avoid the harsh winter weather while also steering clear of the monsoon season. Increasingly climbers are using experienced guides to help them on their journey, although it can be a pricey business, with some services costing up to $200,000!
