Chapter 178: Lin Qingmo: I want to fight seven! Azure Star, you’re looking for death!
Not long after.
The Shrek group returned to the spectator stands dejectedly.
Behind them, the cheers for the "Royal Fighting Team" still echoed in the Great Spirit Arena.
Those mountain-shaking, sea-tsunami-like shouts fell on their ears like slaps across the face.
Ma Hongjun hung his head.
His face still bore the gray marks scraped by wind blades, and a few strands of hair on his forehead were scorched.
He kicked a pebble in the corner hard in frustration, and it rolled far away.
He was muttering curses: "Damn it, losing this crappy match was so frustrating. I was kite-flown in the air by that jerk Yu Feng the whole time."
"My Phoenix Fire Wire couldn’t even touch the corner of his clothes. I was worn down until I lost my temper. It’s so freaking pathetic!"
"Sigh..."
Oscar leaned against the nearby wall and sighed deeply, not wanting to say a word.
"..."
Dai Mubai stood in the darkest corner.
The clothes on his back were shattered by the spirit power of Yu Tianheng’s dragon claws, and the wound was still throbbing with pain.
His face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water, and his eyes were full of uncontrollable hostility.
As the team captain, he was to blame for this crushing defeat.
Tang San also slowly walked back.
His steps were unsteady, the place on his chest hit by Yu Tianheng’s dragon claws throbbed with pain, and traces of blood remained at the corner of his mouth.
He leaned against the wall without a word, staring blankly at the ground, looking like he had lost his soul.
Out of place with the low morale of the whole team was Lin Qingmo, who was leaning against the railing.
He was holding half a cup of iced juice, and there wasn’t a hint of frustration from losing the match on his face.
Looking at Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong walking over with red eyes, a gentle smile appeared on his face.
He took the initiative to praise them softly: "You three did very well today."
"Xiao Wu risked being focused down to get close, taking on two and forcibly eliminating two of the opponent’s cores, directly disrupting their rhythm."
"But don’t be so reckless in the future; it’s very dangerous."
"I... I understand!"
Being lectured, Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue sheepishly.
"Zhuqing, using agility attack against agility attack, you withstood Spirit ElderOslo’s fierce assault for so long and made several limit dodges. You did very well."
"Rongrong’s Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda boosts never stopped throughout the match. Except for the end, even when teammates were scattered, you accurately provided for everyone without missing a beat."
With his praise, the gloom on the three girls’ faces dissipated instantly, and the grievance in their hearts lightened significantly.
Xiao Wu happily pulled Lin Qingmo’s arm and shook it.
Her eyes were still red, but her face showed defiance as she pouted and said loudly, "What’s the use of doing well? We still lost in the end!"
"The people from the Royal Fighting Team are still showing off on the stage."
"If you had gone on stage just now, A-Qing, you would have definitely beaten the Royal Fighting Team to a pulp. How could they be so arrogant here!"
Her voice was clear and carried some emotion.
It passed right through the lingering noise and reached the Spirit Fight stage clearly.
The members of the Royal Fighting Team hadn’t left yet; they were receiving cheers from the audience.
Dugu Yan was holding Yu Tianheng’s arm, smiling and talking to her teammates.
Hearing this, her purple eyes instantly turned and accurately locked onto Lin Qingmo below the stage.
What did she hear?
That Soft Bones Demon Rabbit called him ’A-Qing’!
Sure enough, he was the person she was looking for.
A provocative and playful smile curled the corners of her mouth as she sized him up with great interest.
Yu Tianheng and the others naturally heard it clearly, and disdainful expressions instantly appeared on their faces.
Oslo sneered, his chin held high, his face full of contempt:
"Azure Star? Isn’t he just a substitute who hid below the stage and didn’t dare to go up the whole time? Talking as if he’s invincible, it’s quite hilarious."
"Exactly, hiding behind women and talking big, what kind of man is that? If you have the guts, come up and show us what you’ve got."
Yu Feng chimed in.
He shook the wings on his back, his face full of the arrogance of someone certain of victory.
Yu Tianheng was already the favored son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and having just one-shotted Yu Xiaogang’s Personal DiscipleTang San, he was in high Spirits.
Hearing Xiao Wu’s words, the pride on his face grew even stronger.
He took two steps forward to stand at the very edge of the ring.
His voice, amplified by spirit power, was so loud it drowned out the noise of the entire arena, each word spoken with weight:
"Your name is Azure Star, right? A backup hiding behind women dares to speak so boastfully?"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the entire audience instantly focused on Lin Qingmo.
Whistles and heckling erupted instantly; everyone was waiting to see how he would respond.
They loved watching a scene.
Ning Rongrong exploded on the spot, hands on her hips, shouting at the stage:
"Don’t be so arrogant! Lin Qingmo isn’t afraid of you; he can knock you down just by going up!"
Hearing this, Lin Qingmo’s face showed no emotion at all, only a faint smile.
He handed the half-finished juice cup to Ning Rongrong, his voice gentle: "Hold this for me, I’ll be back soon."
Before Ning Rongrong could react, he lightly tapped the railing in front of him with his toes and leaped.
Without any hesitation, he landed steadily in the center of the Spirit Fight stage.
"!!!"
The noise of the whole arena suddenly quieted down by more than half.
Everyone’s eyes were pinned on the young man who had suddenly jumped onto the stage.
Whispers were everywhere in the audience, guessing what this suddenly appearing Azure Star was going to do.
Lin Qingmo turned to look at the referee standing stunned nearby, a polite smile on his face.
He asked, "Mr. Referee, excuse me, in this situation, is it possible to add another Spirit Fight match?"
"Huh?"
The referee was completely bewildered.
He had just announced the match results and hadn’t even lowered the flag in his hand.
He was about to organize the two teams to leave when this person suddenly appeared.
The referee was stunned for a long time and couldn’t react.
Just then, an urgent transmission from the person in charge of the Great Spirit Arena reached his ears.
"Agree to it! This is all hype!"
After hearing that, the referee quickly cleared his throat, steadied his mind, and asked Lin Qingmo, "Contestant Lin Qingmo from the Azure Blue Star Team, do you... do you want to challenge the winning contestant Yu Tianheng to a 1v1 duel?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd exploded again.
Spectators in the front rows stood up directly; whistles, heckling, and shouts of "Fight! Fight!" rose one after another.
Everyone was waiting to see Yu Tianheng strike again.
But Lin Qingmo smiled and shook his head.
He slowly turned around, the faint smile on his face unchanged, but the warmth in his eyes was gone.
He raised a finger and pointed at Yu Tianheng standing opposite him, as well as Dugu Yan, Oslo, Yu Feng, and the Shi Brothers behind him—all seven members of the Royal Fighting Team, not one missing.
"I’m not challenging him alone."
"I’m not challenging him alone! I want to challenge your entire Royal Fighting Team."
Lin Qingmo’s tone was very calm.
His voice, amplified by spirit power, spread clearly to every corner of the Great Spirit Arena’s spectator stands, even the audience in the furthest corners heard it distinctly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Great Spirit Arena seemed to have a pause button pressed.
"..."
You could hear a pin drop.
A deathly silence.
Everyone had their mouths open, looking disbelieving.
After a full two seconds, the mountain-shaking, sea-tsunami-like gasps and shouts exploded.
"Holy crap! Is he crazy? Challenging the entire Royal Fighting Team alone? That’s an ace team where everyone is a Spirit Elder!"
"Azure Star... this guy is way too arrogant. I’ve never seen anyone dare to say such a thing in my life."
"Oh my god! Today’s ticket was so worth it! I thought watching Shrek vs. Royal was enough, but there’s a ’buy one get one free’ show!"
On the stage.
Lin Qingmo’s words caused all seven members of the Royal Fighting Team to freeze in place.
Each of them looked at Lin Qingmo in shock, as if looking at a lunatic who didn’t know the height of the heavens or the depth of the earth.
They were the aces of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, one of the top academy teams on the continent.
Someone actually dared to claim they would take on their whole team alone?
This was no longer a simple provocation; it was a blatant, ultimate humiliation!
The next second.
The fire of rage ignited by being looked down upon instantly rushed to the heads of the seven people.
Dugu Yan’s eyes stared fixedly at Lin Qingmo.
The Shi Brothers clenched their fists, their knuckles cracking, their Spirits faintly appearing, looking fierce and menacing.
Yu Feng retracted his wings and landed on the ground, the wind blades around him already beginning to condense.
Oslo’s hand was already on the dagger at his waist, his eyes dark like a leopard ready to pounce.
Standing at the very front, Yu Tianheng’s face turned as black as a pot bottom, the veins on his forehead popping out one by one.
As the young Clan Chief of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he had never suffered such a great humiliation in his life!
Crackling blue-purple lightning jumped wildly around him, reflecting his bad mood.
He gritted his teeth, the hostility all over his body almost overflowing.
He squeezed each word out from between his teeth, every word carrying violent lightning:
"Azure Star, you’re looking for death!"
