Chapter 176: Yu Tianheng: I’ll Fight Him One-on-One!
Zhu Zhuqing stood in place, her fingertips still trembling slightly.
The faint warmth of the Blue Silver Grass remained on her waist, and the palpitations brought by the forced activation of her Spirit just now had not completely dissipated even now.
That feeling of her body and spirit power being out of her control was like a cold snake, coiling around her chest and making it feel tight.
She took two deep breaths before barely suppressing that sense of discomfort.
She looked up at Lin Qingmo, who was not far away.
Those cat-like eyes, which always carried a distant coldness, were now filled with genuine gratitude.
Her lips parted slightly as she said with undisguised sincerity, "A-Qing, thank you for helping me just now."
Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, who were nearby, also quickly gathered around.
Xiao Wu reached out and gently patted Zhu Zhuqing’s back, saying with a lingering fear on her face.
"Zhuqing, what just happened?"
They could only see that Zhu Zhuqing seemed to have encountered something she strongly rejected.
Zhu Zhuqing said silently, "Just now, Dai Mubai intended to forcibly use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong said angrily, "A Martial Soul Fusion Skill is supposed to be between two people; how is what he did any different from robbery? Fortunately, A-Qing acted quickly."
"It was just a small effort."
A-Qing smiled, his tone casual and gentle.
His gaze swept across Zhu Zhuqing’s still somewhat pale face.
"I couldn’t just watch someone force you to do something you didn’t want to do."
Just as he finished speaking.
"Why did you forfeit?"
A voice with a heavy didactic tone suddenly cut in.
Yu Xiaogang walked over quickly with a frown, his face long and filled with an expression of disappointment.
His gaze stared intently at Zhu Zhuqing, and his first words were a blunt interrogation.
"Zhu Zhuqing, what on earth are you fooling around for?"
"Since you and Dai Mubai can use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, then it should serve as the only trump card on the field capable of instantly turning the tide of battle!"
"Why would you rather forfeit on the spot than cooperate with him to release it?"
If he had known earlier that the two could use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, he should have researched it long ago!
His tone carried an air of entitlement.
It was as if Zhu Zhuqing’s refusal to cooperate with the Martial Soul Fusion Skill was some unforgivable mistake that betrayed everyone’s hard work.
The gratitude on Zhu Zhuqing’s face instantly vanished.
The temperature in her eyes plummeted, turning as cold as ice.
She looked directly at Yu Xiaogang.
"I didn’t want to use it, it’s as simple as that."
Her tone carried undisguised anger and sharpness, like a wild cat showing its claws after being offended.
"Whether I fight this Spirit Fight, what Spirit Ability I use on the field, or whether I cooperate with others, it’s all my business. What does it have to do with you?"
Xiao Wu and the others were suddenly surprised.
This was the first time they had seen Zhu Zhuqing show such undisguised anger.
"You!"
Yu Xiaogang’s face darkened as he was choked up, his old face turning red for a moment.
He never expected his student to contradict him so publicly, leaving him unable to save face.
He immediately wanted to put on the airs of a lead teacher, and his voice rose several decibels.
"Do you know that your forfeit directly ruined Shrek’s chance for a comeback?"
"How important is this match to us?"
"I am your lead teacher; I naturally have the right to question your combat choices!"
He was only halfway through his words when he suddenly met Lin Qingmo’s gaze.
"!!!"
The young man who had been smiling gently just now had completely withdrawn his smile.
A pair of deep eyes were as cold as thousand-year-old ice, glancing at him faintly without saying a word.
But that overwhelming pressure of spirit power accurately locked onto him.
Instantly, Yu Xiaogang’s breathing hitched, his chest feeling as if it were blocked by a large stone, unable to even catch his breath.
All the words he wanted to say afterward were stuck in his throat by a sense of terror, unable to utter a single syllable.
He subconsciously shrank his head.
The arrogance he had just now while demanding accountability was completely extinguished, and a layer of cold sweat even broke out on his back.
At this time, Flender also patted Yu Xiaogang’s shoulder, smoothing things over.
"Xiaogang, this matter is their own business; we can’t handle it."
He knew the fundamental conflict that existed between Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai.
Even as a teacher, he couldn’t interfere too much.
Having been given a way out, Yu Xiaogang shut his mouth sullenly.
He turned and slunk away to the side, not daring to say another word.
Flender, who was beside him, originally wanted to say something more.
But seeing Lin Qingmo’s cold face, he ended up saying nothing.
The situation on the Spirit Fighting Arena collapsed faster than anyone imagined.
Without Zhu Zhuqing to restrain Oslo,
Dai Mubai’s already meager spirit power simply couldn’t withstand the fierce attacks from the group opposite him.
He was fuming with rage because of what happened just now, his mind in disarray.
Facing their joint pincer attack, he frequently revealed openings.
Yu Tianheng’s dragon claws carried a loud whistling sound as they slammed hard against him.
Dai Mubai barely managed to prop up the White Tiger Barrier, but the pale gold light only lasted for a moment before being shattered.
"Ugh!"
He let out a muffled groan, and a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out.
Dai Mubai was thrown off the Spirit Fighting Arena like a kite with a broken string.
When he landed, he slid several meters on the hard ground, crashing into the guardrail.
"Dammit!"
He slammed his fist against the ground.
His face was full of resentment and gloom, and fire raged in Dai Mubai’s eyes.
On the vast circular arena, only Tang San remained from the Shrek Team.
Opposite him, the Royal Fighting Team still had five people standing perfectly intact—Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, Yu Feng, Oslo, and Ye Lingling.
All of them still had a fair amount of spirit power left.
They were forming a surrounding formation, staring at Tang San unhurriedly, like staring at prey that had fallen into a trap.
The audience stands erupted in cheers again, the support for the Royal Fighting Team making the entire venue tremble.
Everyone’s gaze was focused on Tang San on the arena.
They all wanted to see if this Spirit Elder with the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul could create a miracle of a comeback in such a desperate situation.
Although no one thought it was possible.
Cold sweat slid down Tang San’s forehead and along his cheeks.
His Blue Silver Grass had already covered the arena floor in a dense layer.
It was like a giant net, shimmering with the faint green light of toxin, slightly wriggling.
But his heart was constantly sinking.
Relying solely on the paralyzing toxin in the Blue Silver Grass, the effect it could have on these Spirit Masters, whose spirit powerRank was far above his estimates, was truly negligible.
He quickly calculated all the trump cards he could use in his mind.
But he found that apart from his Second Martial Soul and Hidden Weapons, he had no means at all to counter the current situation.
He had promised his father not to use his Second Martial Soul.
As for Hidden Weapons... currently, the only one of his forged Hidden Weapons that he could reasonably use was the Dragon Beard Needle.
Even using Hidden Weapons to deal with five people would be insufficient.
"None of you interfere."
Yu Tianheng suddenly took a step forward, raising his hand to stop the three people behind him who were about to step forward.
The ferocious phantom of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon slowly emerged behind him.
Crackling azure lightning jumped wildly on his dragonized right arm, making a sizzling sound.
His eyes revealed the pride of a noble clan’s son.
Staring straight at Tang San, Yu Tianheng said in a loud voice, "I’ll fight him one-on-one."
"I want to see just how much true skill this Genius, who was praised as miraculous after being taken as a Personal Disciple by my uncle, actually has."
