Chapter 68: Those Who Dare Not Cause Trouble Are Mediocre! Ma Hongjun Is Looking for Death!
Not far away.
Tang Chuan stood at the edge of the arena, his gaze slightly narrowed, as if he was contemplating something.
Witnessing Xiao Ruier's punch breaking Yu Tianheng's arm, even with his usual calm, his eyebrows couldn't help but twitch, and a hint of undisguised surprise appeared in his eyes.
"This guy's strength… has it reached such a terrifying level?"
"If that punch had landed on the Shrek Academy students, besides Tang San using his Clear Sky Hammer, I'm afraid no one else would have been able to take it, right?"
"The Golden Dragon… although it's just a Spirit she simulated by borrowing the Golden Dragon King bloodline, its essence seems to be no different from a true Golden Dragon Spirit."
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit is inherently suppressed by the Golden Dragon in terms of bloodline level, so even if Yu Tianheng's spirit power is higher than hers now, he probably isn't her opponent, let alone now…"
At the same time, just as Yu Tianheng's Thunder Dragon Claw was unleashed, before it even got close, a deep thud suddenly echoed through the arena.
Xiao Ruier stomped her foot fiercely, and the entire arena seemed to tremble with it.
The next second, four spirit rings, two yellow and two purple, rapidly ascended from beneath her feet.
As the spirit rings appeared, a dazzling golden light condensed behind her, forming a majestic Golden Dragon shadow in the blink of an eye.
The enormous Golden Dragon roared, its dragon eyes cold, its dragon claws outstretched, exuding the might of a divine beast from ancient times, with an irresistible bloodline pressure, looking down from the void.
The moment the Golden Dragon phantom appeared, Yu Tianheng felt his mind tense, his entire body seemingly suppressed by some inexplicable force.
It was a pressure originating from the bloodline.
Even though he was a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Even though he had completed his Spirit possession and his spirit power was surging.
Yet at this moment, a nearly instinctive shiver and submission arose within his body!
Yu Tianheng froze stiffly in place, and even his already unleashed Thunder Dragon Claw came to a halt, unable to move!
"How is this possible?!"
Yu Tianheng's eyes widened, his face filled with indescribable shock, as he stammered.
He completely couldn't understand how his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit could be suppressed to the point of being unable to even make a move due to bloodline pressure!
Although he had long heard legends about the Golden Dragon Spirit, Yu Tianheng, having grown up, had never truly encountered a Golden Dragon. Meeting one today, he clearly realized that his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was nothing but a common fowl compared to the Golden Dragon!
Xiao Ruier didn't give Yu Tianheng any chance to breathe.
Under everyone's shocked gazes, she swayed, stomped her foot, and amidst a flash of golden light, she had already arrived in front of Yu Tianheng.
"Bang!"
Immediately after, Xiao Ruier mercilessly kicked Yu Tianheng in the chest!
Yu Tianheng was like he had been hit by a true giant dragon, his entire body leaving the ground and flying backward, crashing heavily onto the other side of the arena, raising a cloud of dust and debris, and remaining unmoving for a long time.
Silence.
The scene was deathly silent.
Everyone stared blankly at this scene, discussing animatedly, their faces filled with disbelief.
"This Xiao Ruier's strength is so powerful!"
"Only two rounds? The Captain lost just like that?"
"Holy cow, she's too savage, she's practically a wild woman."
Seeing that the outcome was decided and Yu Tianheng's situation was somewhat tragic, Dugu Yan's expression also changed slightly. She hurried forward and helped Yu Tianheng, who was lying on the ground, up, her expression quite worried as she said.
"Tianheng, are you alright?"
"I… I'm fine, I lost…"
Looking at the scene before her, Ye Lingling also didn't hesitate in the slightest.
She immediately released her Nine Heart Begonia Spirit, and her third spirit ring lit up. A pink halo, like a spring breeze, swept over Yu Tianheng's body. His originally broken arm slowly healed in just a few breaths, the bones returning to place, and his skin recovering as before.
The next second, Dugu Yan suddenly stood up, her face cold, and quickly walked in front of Xiao Ruier, her tone filled with obvious dissatisfaction and anger:
"This was just a spar, why did you hit so hard?"
Her voice wasn't loud, but it was sharp, almost freezing the surrounding air.
"I haven't even used much of my strength yet."
However, facing the accusation, Xiao Ruier merely raised an eyebrow slightly, glancing at her with disdain, her voice cold yet full of arrogance.
These words were like pouring oil on a fire, instantly igniting the anger in Dugu Yan's heart.
Her face darkened, and she suddenly stepped forward, about to make a move, but was blocked by a tall figure in front of her.
"Yan Zi, what do you think you're doing?"
Qin Ming's voice deepened, and he reached out to block Dugu Yan's path, sternly rebuking her.
"Injuries in a match are common, and besides, isn't Lingling here? Hasn't Tianheng's arm already recovered? Your actions will only cause internal conflict within the team."
Qin Ming's tone, though not harsh, carried an unquestionable authority.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan, though still unwilling, forcefully suppressed her anger, glared fiercely at Xiao Ruier, and retreated back to the team.
Seeing this, Qin Ming nodded slightly, then turned to look at Xiao Ruier, a glint of admiration flashing in his eyes, and said:
"Xiao Ruier, I can see your strength, it is indeed very powerful. From this match, you can completely replace Tianheng's position and become the new main force of the team."
As he spoke, he glanced at Tang Chuan, who was standing in the distance, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"With Tang Chuan, our team will have two additional top-tier combatants. As long as you are willing to cooperate with each other, when the Pan-continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition arrives, we will definitely shine, and even winning the championship is highly possible!"
Hearing that they might win the Pan-continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition championship.
Immediately, everyone's eyes lit up, and they all showed expressions of approval.
After all, no one present didn't want to win the championship and make a name for themselves and their family, even if they were substitutes and didn't play, they would still be champions!
Oscar rubbed his chin and whispered, "This Xiao Ruier is simply a monster. That kick, I feel for Tianheng…"
"Her Spirit is very special, the pinnacle of strength. It's truly rare for our Royal Fight Team to have such a teammate," Ye Lingling nodded lightly and said.
Yu Tianheng's face was still a bit grim.
But he could only nod silently, after all, the facts were before him, and a loss was a loss.
Seeing the atmosphere gradually ease, Qin Ming waved his hand and said seriously:
"Alright, everyone, quickly pack up. We are preparing to leave Heaven Dou City and head to other cities to continue participating in team Fighting Soul matches. Don't delay the progress."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded.
"Wait."
However, at this moment, Dugu Yan, who had been standing silently by the side, suddenly spoke.
Everyone was startled and looked at her.
Dugu Yan stepped forward, her voice clear and cold, saying: "Teacher Qin, my spirit power has already broken through to Rank 40. Now, I need to obtain my fourth spirit ring."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming's eyes immediately lit up, and a look of joy appeared on his face. He quickly stepped forward, excitedly saying, "Yan Zi, what did you say? You've broken through?"
"Yes, I broke through yesterday," Dugu Yan nodded slightly.
After pondering for a moment, Qin Ming said, "Alright, since Yan Zi has already broken through to Rank 40, then the matter of going to other cities for team Fighting Soul matches will be postponed for now. The most important thing at hand is to help her obtain her fourth spirit ring. This is crucial for her future strength improvement and cannot be delayed."
Everyone nodded in agreement. After all, every time a Spirit Master breaks through a major realm, it is an extremely important moment that cannot be taken lightly.
"Teacher Qin, I have a request." Tang Chuan, who had been standing at the edge of the team, suddenly spoke, his voice not loud, but it made everyone look his way.
Qin Ming raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Go ahead. What is it?"
Tang Chuan said calmly, "Since you are going to hunt Spirit Beasts for Yan Zi to get her spirit ring first, can I depart earlier and follow the predetermined route to the Fighting Soul city we originally planned to visit? I've been a bit bored staying in Heaven Dou City recently and would like to go explore ahead of time."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was startled.
Qin Ming pondered for a moment, his eyes flickering slightly.
He naturally knew Tang Chuan's strength. If anyone else made a similar request, he would decisively refuse, but Tang Chuan… was someone he couldn't see through.
In the end, Qin Ming still nodded: "You may. You always act cautiously, as long as you don't arbitrarily get into conflicts with people and pay attention to safety, you are free to go."
"Understood." Tang Chuan nodded slightly, a glint flashing in his eyes.
The reason he wanted to leave early was simply to go to Soto City sooner.
However, not long after Tang Chuan finished speaking, Xiao Ruier suddenly stepped forward, came to his side, and said quite firmly, "I want to go with you, can I?"
At this moment, the atmosphere subtly fell silent.
Tang Chuan looked at Xiao Ruier with a hint of surprise, seemingly not expecting her to suggest accompanying him.
And Qin Ming, after a moment of stunned silence, his eyes suddenly became strange.
As someone who had been through it, he naturally sensed the subtle emotional changes between the two.
He didn't expose them, nor did he hesitate too much, but instead showed a playful smile and said readily, "That's good. Both of you are strong, and having each other to look out for along the way puts my mind at ease. Just remember to keep in touch and don't miss the meeting time."
Seeing that Tang Chuan and Xiao Ruier were going to leave early together, a look of struggle flashed in Ye Lingling's eyes. Finally, she bit her red lip lightly and stepped forward, saying:
"Teacher Qin, can I leave early with them?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Ming's brows furrowed. He didn't respond immediately, but instead looked at Ye Lingling with a slightly puzzled gaze, seemingly deep in thought.
"No."
After a brief silence, Qin Ming's tone deepened, and he said mercilessly.
"Why?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling was startled, a hint of bewilderment flashing in her eyes.
Qin Ming's tone was cold and unyielding as he explained, "You are the only healing Spirit Master in our team. If you also leave, who will provide treatment if Yan Zi and the others encounter an accident during the Spirit Beast hunt? If you leave, it puts everyone at risk. The entire Royal Fight Team, besides you and Tang Chuan, has no third person with healing abilities."
These words were like a splash of cold water, piercing to the core.
This instantly left Ye Lingling feeling a bit at a loss.
"I understand." Nodding lightly, Ye Lingling's voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum.
At this moment, her back seemed exceptionally quiet, and exceptionally lonely.
A month later, on an evening in Soto City, the afterglow of the sunset slanted, and streetlights were just beginning to glow in the alleys.
The Shrek Academy dormitory area was not peaceful, with anger and arguments echoing in the air.
"You're truly disgusting, Dai Mubai!"
Zhu Zhuqing stared intently at the golden-haired young man in front of her, angrily saying, "Do you think I don't know? You secretly snuck out last night and went to that kind of place again… You waste all your time in such filthy places, and in the end, your result will be to be exiled by your ambitious brother!"
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai's eyes darkened, and his fists involuntarily clenched. He laughed in extreme anger, scoffing, "I'm exiled? Do you think you'll be any better off? Zhu Zhuqing, don't think too highly of yourself, we're in the same boat!"
"To be tied to someone like you, I, Zhu Zhuqing, must have had eight lifetimes of bad luck." Zhu Zhuqing's face suddenly turned pale, but she quickly regained her composure and said slowly.
With that, she turned and walked away without hesitation.
"You stop right there," Dai Mubai roared.
Zhu Zhuqing completely ignored him and not only didn't stop.
Instead, she quickened her pace.
"You…"
Dai Mubai suddenly raised his right hand, and a strong white light surged in his palm, but he ultimately held back. The white light on his palm flickered and vanished, and a tiger-like gasp escaped his mouth.
"Damn it!"
"That man isn't a polygamist, so what if I visit a brothel?"
He cursed under his breath.
The next second, Dai Mubai slammed his fist against the wall, emitting a dull thud.
Then, his eyes scanned the surroundings gloomily, and he soon discovered Ma Hongjun, who was sitting on a stone chair in the courtyard nearby, gnawing on a chicken leg.
"Fatty!" Dai Mubai quickly walked over, his tone carrying a hint of aggression, saying, "Let's go, tonight we're going out to find girls and completely let loose! Don't come back to the Academy!"
Ma Hongjun's eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this. He didn't even bother to finish his chicken leg, licked the corner of his mouth, and chuckled slyly:
"Oh, what's up? Did you argue with your little ice queen again? What did she call you this time?"
Dai Mubai snorted coldly, his face so gloomy it could almost drip water: "Stop talking nonsense, let's just go. I'm not coming back tonight until I'm drunk, let's see who can control me then!"
"Alright, Boss Dai, you're paying, and I'll take you to a new good place!" Ma Hongjun smiled greasily, his eyes full of excitement and mischievous glints.
Half an hour later, night quietly fell.
Soto City was brightly lit, the streets crowded with people, bustling and noisy, with the shouts from restaurants and gambling houses intertwining.
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun walked side by side, both dressed in casual clothes, blending into the crowd.
They had just entered the city gates not long ago.
Ma Hongjun was already impatient, his neck swiveling like it had a spring, his gaze shamelessly sweeping over the women on both sides of the street, his face full of lewdness.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he froze as if electrocuted. Then he poked Dai Mubai with his elbow, whispering excitedly:
"Boss Dai! Look ahead, that girl, tsk tsk, her figure is truly top-notch… Golden hair, long legs, and such a slender waist, holy cow, can our luck really be this good tonight?"
Following the direction of his finger, not far ahead, a golden-haired girl of about a dozen years old was strolling down the street. She was wearing a light golden tight-fitting outfit that accentuated her graceful figure.
As she walked, she exuded charm, seemingly unconcerned by the surrounding gazes, yet she still drew the attention of the men around her, captivating their divine souls.
Beside her, a blue-clad youth wearing a bamboo hat followed.
"Boss, how about we go strike up a conversation? Who knows, maybe tonight we could even…" Ma Hongjun swallowed, his eyes glinting mischievously.
Dai Mubai was still stewing in anger. Upon hearing this, his brow didn't even wrinkle, and he said coldly, "If you like her, go. Don't dither."
Ma Hongjun shrunk his neck and muttered softly:
"She has someone with her, though… What if we provoke someone we shouldn't? That golden-haired girl doesn't look simple at first glance, what if she's from a noble family…"
"Hmph." Dai Mubai sneered disdainfully, a smirk playing on his lips, his eyes showing a mix of pride and aggression, saying, "Have you forgotten our Shrek Academy motto? Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre. I hate your timid behavior the most. In all of Soto City, who dares not give face to our Dean Flender? He is a dignified seven-ring Soul Sage, and even a fart from him could scare the guts out of a bunch of people."
Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun's heart trembled, and he immediately perked up, rubbing his hands together and licking his lips: "Hehe, well said! Boss Dai, then I'll go first.".
