Although Ying Nan liked the Ten Rings, she had no intention of forcibly taking them for herself.
Seeing the other party staring intently at the Ten Rings, Ying Nan flicked her arm slightly, and the Ten Rings flew off her arm, landing in front of Wen.
It must be said that the people of Tuke are all very upright and righteous, otherwise, it would be impossible for them to guard the seal of the Darkness Gate.
After all, anyone with impure thoughts or selfish motives could be influenced by the Soul-Devouring Monster and be lured by it.
Wen glanced at the dim Ten Rings, put them away, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
With the Ten Rings back on his arms, Wen slowly stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said in a deep voice, "I lost, but I must enter Tuke."
"You, don't be ungrateful!" Ying Nan frowned and shouted.
Wen remained silent, but his attitude was very firm.
He had already conquered many places, and Tuke was his current target to conquer, especially after the other party was able to control the Ten Rings, he was even more unwilling to give up.
He wanted to figure out why the people of Tuke could control the Ten Rings, and then... ensure that from now on, only he could control the Ten Rings!
This thought was very normal; anyone would be unable to accept that others could easily snatch away a divine artifact like the Ten Rings from their hands and use them with greater power than themselves!
"Since you are insistent on entering Tuke, alright, I will give you a chance."
"Three matches, as long as you can win any one of them, I will let you enter Tuke. If you lose all of them, leave the Ten Rings behind."
Samuel's suggestion made Wen ponder for a moment, then he spoke, "Before the winner is decided, you cannot snatch the Ten Rings."
"Alright!"
Samuel agreed.
With Suzy's strength, even without snatching the Ten Rings, she could still defeat Wen.
As for himself, is there even a need to say more?
"Then, let's begin the second match."
Wen assumed a stance, and the Ten Rings once again lit up with blue light.
Suzy, just like Ying Nan earlier, glided to Wen's front and directly made her move.
The sisters' martial arts were identical, both following a path of graceful lightness, using external force to their advantage, and using softness to overcome hardness.
Wen's martial arts belonged to the iron horse and hard bridge style, with wide, open moves that were fierce and overbearing, accompanied by the Ten Rings, the sounds of combat were deafening and earth-shattering.
Only...
A series of operations as fierce as a tiger, but the output was only two hundred and fifty.
Besides smashing a few rocks and breaking a few trees, he didn't even touch the hem of Suzy's clothes.
Suzy was at ease, like a celestial being, not only easily dodging and neutralizing Wen's attacks, but also clashing with the Ten Rings a few times using the Dragon Force.
In terms of power, the Ten Rings were definitely stronger than the Dragon Force, but Wen had not truly mastered the Ten Rings, and his level of development was approximately Zero.
And his own martial arts were far inferior to Suzy's, the result... was predictable!
After a hundred moves, Suzy seized the opportunity and directly launched a fierce attack on Wen while the Ten Rings had flown out and had not yet returned.
"Bang!"
Suzy backhanded the returning Ten Rings away, then her body was like a startled swan, quickly changing her moves, and then she punched Wen in the chest.
This punch was perfectly aimed, hitting the exact spot where Wen had been injured during his fight with Ying Nan earlier.
"Thump, thump, thump..." Wen retreated several steps, retrieved the Ten Rings, and suppressed the turbulent blood in his throat.
"I lost."
Although Wen was unwilling, he honestly admitted his defeat.
"Do you want to rest?" Samuel asked Wen.
Wen didn't pretend to be strong, nodded, and walked to the side to rest on his own.
He had already lost two of the three matches, and for the last match, even if he was unwilling to admit it, he knew that his chance of winning was very slim.
The final opponent was clearly the person who was truly in charge among them. Under normal circumstances, his strength would definitely be stronger than the two women before!
However, Wen was not going to give up!
After years of campaigning, there were not many places or people who could ignite his ambition anymore.
After exhausting his efforts and finally finding Tuke, how could he possibly give up?!
Even if he lost, he needed to know himself and his opponent, so that he could make a comeback in the future!
Half an hour later, Wen stood up and nodded to Samuel.
Samuel slowly walked towards Wen, and saw Wen draw out the Ten Rings with both hands, in groups of five, connected by energy between the rings, like two whips, which he quickly swung left and right.
As he swung them, a blue circular energy shield gradually formed.
Was this using defense as offense?
Wen had changed his strategy.
There was no point in deceiving himself. He knew very well that Samuel's strength would not be inferior to those two women.
His chances of winning were very low.
Letting him give up entering Tuke?
He was unwilling!
The entrance to Tuke only opens once a year. Even if he left now and went back to gather his troops, it would be useless...
He definitely couldn't enter Tuke this year, so it was better to take the opportunity to learn more about the opponent's strength and capabilities!
Even if he left the Ten Rings behind, when he returned next year, he would naturally be able to get them back!
He had that confidence.
So he gave up on attacking, and even gave up on winning, fully defending, just to learn more.
He swung the Ten Rings with fierce force, and the energy shield could be said to be impenetrable.
Samuel looked at his actions and somewhat guessed his intention.
"Want to see my abilities? I'm afraid you'll be disappointed..."
Samuel leisurely walked in front of Wen, looked at Wen's slightly solemn expression, smiled disdainfully, and unleashed a punch.
The punch hit the energy shield generated by the Ten Rings, and with a bang, the impenetrable shield suddenly paused.
Immediately after, cracking sounds were heard.
Cracks appeared in the shield.
Wen's expression froze, and he widened his eyes in disbelief.
"How is this possible?"
"What kind of monstrous strength is this, to be able to shatter the Ten Rings' shield with one punch?"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
The horrified Wen continuously channeled the energy of the Ten Rings, trying to repair the cracks and strengthen the shield's defense.
But this was like a swimming pool where water was being added on one side and drained on the other. The speed of adding water was far less than the speed of draining, and the swimming pool could never be filled.
"Bang!"
Two or three seconds later, the energy shield completely shattered.
The immense impact sent Wen flying backward like a kite with a broken string.
The Ten Rings also flew from his grasp, landing on the ground, their blue glow flickering as if their power was low.
Bang bang bang—bang bang bang—
Wen crashed through more than ten meters of Bamboo Forest before finally coming to a stop.
"Pfft!"
Wen slumped to the ground, spitting out a large mouthful of fresh blood. His originally fair clothes were now stained and muddied!
Disheveled, on the verge of death—this was Wen's current state!
However, compared to his injuries, what he truly couldn't accept was this outcome!
One punch, just one punch, shattered the Ten Rings!
He had intended to use defense as a prelude to offense, to understand Samuel's methods as much as possible.
But the other party just used one punch!
What was there to understand then?!
