Chapter 175: Restraining Yu Tianheng, Directly Targeting Ye Lingling!
"Everyone ready?" Yu Xiaogang glanced at both teams. After receiving a round of nods, he raised his hand. "Begin!"
The moment the word left his mouth, he retreated quickly, exiting the combat zone and stopping beside Yu Tianlin. His eyes remained fixed on the field, but he still asked casually, "Tianlin, who do you think will win?"
Yu Tianlin did not hesitate. "Of course my brother and the others."
"Is that so?" Yu Xiaogang neither agreed nor disagreed. "Then let's watch."
On the field, Huang Dou and his two companions, along with the Shrek Seven Devils, instantly entered battle stance.
Spirits were released at the same time. The Shrek Seven Devils had more spirit rings, but the quality gap was obvious. The three Royal Fighters carried pressure that could not be ignored, and for a brief moment, the momentum between the two sides actually balanced.
A fair 3v7.
"Yanzi, protect Lingling, I'm going." Yu Tianheng's arms transformed into dragon limbs, lightning surging around his body. His aura rose like a storm about to break, and he charged straight at the Shrek Seven Devils without the slightest hesitation.
"Hmph." Dai Mubai snorted. He did not waste words, directly activating his first spirit skill.
"White Tiger Protective Barrier."
The gap was there. Nine levels. Even if Yu Tianheng did not use a spirit skill, Dai Mubai still had to open with his own. Otherwise, he would not be able to block the impact at all.
The barrier surged. Dai Mubai's muscles tightened, his confidence rising with the boost in strength and defense. He roared and met Yu Tianheng head on.
At the very start, the strongest offensive Soul Masters on both sides collided.
Dragon claw met tiger claw.
A sharp shock ran up Dai Mubai's arms. His pupils tightened.
He had pushed his strength to the limit, yet Yu Tianheng did not budge. It was as if the blow had landed on an iron mountain.
"Not bad." Yu Tianheng met Dai Mubai's fierce gaze and actually smiled. "But compared to me, you're still far behind."
As his words fell, Yu Tianheng increased his force. Dai Mubai was driven backward, his heels dragging on the ground.
Strength, the first advantage.
Then a clear voice rang from the rear.
"Mubai."
Ning Rongrong's support arrived. A beam of light descended onto Dai Mubai, his aura swelling again, stabilizing his footing and letting him barely hold the line.
Dai Mubai grinned. "I'm not fighting alone."
"Is that so?" Yu Tianheng's tone remained calm. "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda lives up to its name. Even so, you still can't match me."
He hated stalemates. Crushing through was his preferred style.
Yu Tianheng's third spirit ring lit up.
"Thunderous Fury."
Lightning power and spirit power surged, doubling in an instant.
"What the hell…" Dai Mubai's expression changed sharply. He had not expected Yu Tianheng to go straight for a thousand year spirit skill without even probing. Was he not afraid of consuming too much spirit power?
Painful or not, there was no choice. Dai Mubai's third spirit ring lit up as well, forced to answer with everything he had.
But Dai Mubai still was not alone.
From Yu Tianheng's side, Xiao Wu moved in, not closing the distance fully. Her second spirit ring flashed.
"Charm."
Yu Tianheng's eyes blurred. For a heartbeat, his mind emptied. His reaction slowed, and his spirit power dipped violently, more than half suppressed.
Dai Mubai seized that opening and struck back, finally forcing Yu Tianheng into real trouble.
Fortunately, Yu Tianheng's foundation was deep. His mental strength held firm. The haze broke quickly.
"A confusing spirit skill." Yu Tianheng did not rage. He simply turned his head slightly and called out, "Yanzi."
"Coming." The coordination between the two needed no explanation.
Dugu Yan's first spirit ring shone. A ball of red mist condensed in front of her. With a sharp wave, it crossed half the field and entered Yu Tianheng's body.
"Phosphorus Red Poison."
The toxin stimulated the nerves, forcing the body into heightened excitement and raising attack power and speed by twenty percent.
The amplification was not the point.
Excitement meant sharper focus, and sharper focus meant resistance.
Sure enough, when Xiao Wu tried the same trick again, Yu Tianheng was affected only slightly. He shook it off almost immediately.
Still, Xiao Wu remained a threat. A single lapse could swing the battle.
Yu Tianheng decided to remove the risk and directly turned his attack toward her.
Then something that even he did not expect happened.
Xiao Wu's third spirit ring flashed. Purple light wrapped around her, and she vanished.
Yu Tianheng's strike cut through empty air.
In the next moment, Xiao Wu reappeared elsewhere, her expression steady, her timing clean.
Teleportation.
Yu Tianheng's eyes widened. He had never imagined that this rabbit Spirit Master possessed a skill like that.
While Yu Tianheng was being pulled into Xiao Wu's rhythm, Blue Silver Grass quietly rolled a small pink sausage forward and flicked it toward Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai caught it and swallowed without hesitation.
Excitement Pink Sausage.
Now Dai Mubai had his first and third spirit skills active, Ning Rongrong's amplification on top, and the sausage effect layered in. He entered a peak state that felt almost unreal, and he forced Yu Tianheng back again, holding him in place.
Xiao Wu continued harassing from the side, using Charm to disrupt, then teleporting away to avoid retaliation.
Together, they successfully restrained Yu Tianheng.
But that was only one part of the battlefield.
Ning Rongrong and Oscar had already retreated far from the front. Ning Rongrong could provide support from a distance with no difficulty. Oscar focused on creating sausages, using Blue Silver Grass as delivery, sending them wherever they were needed.
Meanwhile, Tang San, Ma Hongjun, and Zhu Zhuqing bypassed the main clash entirely, circling toward the rear.
Their target was clear.
Ye Lingling.
They all knew the Nine Heart Begonia's terrifying value. If they did not eliminate Ye Lingling first, every exchange would be meaningless. Even if they poured everything into crushing Yu Tianheng, the Nine Heart Begonia could restore him and return him to the fight.
So the Shrek Seven Devils' opening plan was simple.
Restrict Yu Tianheng.
Strike Ye Lingling.
"Lingling, they really are coming for you." Dugu Yan glanced at the three rushing in and could not help but laugh, as if it amused her. "Don't worry. Focus on supporting Tianheng. They won't get past me."
Ye Lingling gave a soft nod.
In her hands bloomed a pink and white begonia, delicate and exquisite, with nine stamens and eight petals. Her spirit rings flickered. Petal like white light drifted down and surged toward Yu Tianheng in the distance, continuously merging into him and feeding him recovery.
