Chapter 172: The Unknown Man, Azure Star, Yu Tianheng Knocks Over the vinegar jar
[The Pope Herself]: If you don’t take the field, although the Royal Fighting Team is weak, they aren’t that easy to deal with.
Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong of the Spirit Hall was currently sitting on her luxurious throne in the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
She narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the messages on the light screen.
Her fingertips lightly tapped the armrest of the throne, a hint of interest flashing in her eyes.
A mere Royal Fighting Team was nothing in her eyes.
One must know that at a similar age, the Golden Generation of her Spirit Hall even had a Spirit King.
To her, Yu Tianheng and his group were no different from children playing house.
But she knew even better that except for Lin Qingmo, the spirit powerRank of the others in the Shrek Team indeed had a significant gap compared to the Royal Fighting Team.
If Lin Qingmo, that absolute ceiling of combat power, didn’t make a move,
this Spirit Fight might not be so easy to win.
...
Qin Ming finally noticed everyone’s carelessness, as well as the distraction of Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan.
"Ahem!"
He coughed heavily and shouted sternly in a serious tone:
"Everyone, pull yourselves together!"
"Don’t think you’re guaranteed to win. The foundation of the Shrek Team is far beyond your imagination!"
"Even if they only have three Spirit Elders, you absolutely cannot let your guard down!"
Yu Tianheng was snapped back to his senses by this shout and reluctantly suppressed the gloom in his heart, nodding.
However, there was still no real regard in his eyes.
...
In the VIP lounge.
Qin Ming’s serious explanation continued, but Dugu Yan didn’t hear a single word.
She leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window, her fingertips carelessly swiping across the Chat Group light screen that only she could see.
However, when Lin Qingmo mentioned this Spirit Fight, Dugu Yan’s originally lazy gaze instantly froze.
Shrek Team? Royal Fighting Team?
Isn’t this the Spirit Fight she’s going to participate in today?
Her fingertips quickly flipped up through the chat history.
She had previously only thought of Shrek as some unknown small team and didn’t take it to heart, but now...
’In other words, this Lin Qingmo in the group is in today’s opponent’s team? And he’s a Spirit Ancestor?’
As soon as this thought popped up, Dugu Yan’s interest was instantly piqued.
She turned around and walked quickly to Qin Ming, directly interrupting his unfinished tactical arrangement.
"Teacher Qin, wait a moment."
As soon as she spoke, the lounge instantly fell silent.
One must know that since entering the lounge, Dugu Yan had always maintained an air of indifference.
Let alone initiating conversation.
She hadn’t even cast a glance at the tactical board.
Now that she suddenly spoke, everyone’s gaze gathered on her in unison.
Qin Ming also froze for a moment.
He stopped what he was doing, pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and asked, "Student Dugu Yan, is there a problem?"
"Teacher Qin."
Dugu Yan’s gaze swept over the information in his hand, her tone carrying a hint of urgency that was hard to detect.
"May I ask if there is a Spirit Ancestor named A-Qing among the members of the Shrek Team?"
As soon as these words came out, a burst of low laughter immediately rang out in the lounge.
Yu Feng toyed with the wind blade feather in his hand and sneered as he spoke.
"Yanzi, didn’t you hear what Teacher Qin just said? The highest on the other side is only three Spirit Elders. Where would a Spirit Ancestor come from?"
Oslo took a bite of the food in his hand and echoed indistinctly, "Exactly. It’s not like we haven’t fought Spirit Ancestor level opponents before. If there really were such a person, could the information not mention them?"
The others also showed expressions of watching a show.
Only Yu Tianheng, standing at the very front, had the carelessness on his face instantly vanish.
His brow furrowed sharply.
A pair of eyes carrying the ferocity of lightning locked tightly onto Dugu Yan.
What he was concerned about was not the Spirit Ancestor, but Dugu Yan’s way of addressing someone.
A-Qing?
Who is this?
He had known Dugu Yan for so long, and he had never seen her so concerned about any male.
Even when asking a question, her tone carried an urgency he had never seen before.
She had been avoiding him lately; could it be because of another man?
Yu Tianheng’s knuckles instantly turned white from clenching.
The spirit power of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon uncontrollably flickered at his fingertips, making a faint crackling sound.
The jealousy and displeasure in his heart instantly surged up.
He stared fixedly at Dugu Yan’s profile, waiting for her next words.
Qin Ming was also taken aback by the question.
He lowered his head and quickly flipped through the thick stack of information in his hand.
He scanned through page by page.
After a moment, he pushed up his glasses, looked up, and shook his head at Dugu Yan.
"There is no one named A-Qing."
"The Shrek Team used Spiritcode names for registration and didn’t register their real names, let alone a Spirit Ancestor over Level 40."
He paused, pointing to a line of text in the information and added as a correction:
"Among the seven currently known members on the field, the one with the highest spirit power is the Spirit Master with the code nameSoft Bones Demon Rabbit, a Level 38 attack systemBattle Soul Venerable. There is a clear gap between them and us."
"None?"
Dugu Yan’s brow instantly furrowed, her fingertips unconsciously rubbing her nails, her heart full of doubt.
That’s impossible.
Could it be that A-Qing isn’t in the Shrek Team at all?
Or was he lying?
Just as she was filled with doubt.
Qin Ming seemed to suddenly remember something.
He flipped to the last page of the information again.
His finger pointed to a line of small print labeled "substitute," and he said with a hint of hesitation:
"There is a special case."
He pushed up his glasses and added, "The Shrek Team is registered as an eight-person roster. Only seven are taking the field today, and there is one substitute member with the code name ’Azure Star’."
"This Azure Star has many records of appearing on the field—solo, duo, team, etc.—and without exception, all are complete victories."
"A substitute?"
Yu Feng curled his lip, his face full of disdain.
"To put it bluntly, he’s just there to make up the numbers. He doesn’t even dare to show his spirit power, probably afraid of showing weakness. At most, he’s just a Spirit Grandmaster, right?"
"Exactly, just a substitute. Can he really turn the world upside down?"
Oslo nodded along, completely disregarding this Azure Star.
Even Yu Tianheng only glanced at the information and didn’t care much.
In his view, let alone a substitute with unknown spirit power,
even if there really were a Spirit Ancestor on the other side, he had the confidence to fight.
However, his mind was now full of that "A-Qing" who Dugu Yan was so concerned about.
Only Dugu Yan, upon hearing the three words "Azure Star," instantly narrowed her eyes, and the clouds of doubt in her heart immediately found a direction.
Azure Star?
Unknown spirit power? Undefeated? And not taking the field?
She remembered the sentence "I’m not taking the field today" that Lin Qingmo had sent in the group earlier. Her fingertips suddenly paused, and a hint of an undetectable playful smile curled at the corner of her mouth.
Interesting.
This Azure Star is most likely that A-Qing.
She wanted to see what kind of skills this guy, who could turn the clouds and rain in the group, was actually hiding.
Of course, the premise of all this was to make Lin Qingmo take action.
But she had to make him take action.
Unfortunately, this guy didn’t intend to participate in this Spirit Fight.
’Tsk, what should I do now?’
Dugu Yan was slightly conflicted.
