The battle in the arena had reached a fever pitch.
Shi Mo and Shi Feng stood on opposite sides of the stage, intercepting Feng Xiaotian and another agile-attack Soul Master from the Blazing Fire Team.
The brothers' Martial Souls were the Black Tortoise Turtles, known for their astonishing defensive capabilities and rich combat experience. Feng Xiaotian tried several times to bypass Shi Feng but was repeatedly blocked.
Forced into a corner, Feng Xiaotian prepared to unleash his ultimate move, the Gale Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes.
Unexpectedly, the agile-attack member of the Blazing Fire Team made a mistake, giving Shi Mo an opening. With a counter-shock, Shi Mo sent the opponent flying off the stage, instantly turning the situation into a two-on-one.
While Feng Xiaotian might have been able to handle either brother alone, facing both together left him with no choice but to retreat, leaving him no room to charge his attack.
Li Xun watched the increasingly clear situation on the stage and nodded in satisfaction.
Feng Xiaotian's talent was indeed remarkable, and his self-created Gale Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes was impressive. However, Shi Mo and Shi Feng were no ordinary opponents. If he hadn't traveled through time, these two brothers might have even humiliated Xiao Wu in the Soul Arena.
"Don't interfere, let me handle this myself!" Yang Qianjun exclaimed as he saw Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan moving closer to him.
With a sweeping strike of his Soul Piercing Lance, Yang Qianjun repelled a strong-attack Soul Master from the Blazing Fire Team, then turned to face Huo Wushuang. Their battle was fierce and wild, each move full of power.
"Shock!"
Seeing Huo Wushuang's claws coming for his face, Yang Qianjun quickly raised his lance to block. A metallic clang rang out as Huo Wushuang grabbed the lance. Yang Qianjun's eyes gleamed as he twisted the lance with both arms, forcing the claws back. He then thrust the lance into the ground, causing the surrounding area to crack and a shockwave to ripple outward.
Huo Wushuang's eyes narrowed as she quickly leaped back.
Unexpectedly, Yang Qianjun kicked the lance's tip and sent it forward with a single-handed thrust, aiming for Huo Wushuang's midsection.
Unable to gain leverage in mid-air, Huo Wushuang relied on her combat experience. As the lance tip approached, she crossed her claws and pressed down on the lance, using the force to push herself further back.
"Stop! We surrender." Huo Wushuang raised her hand as she saw Yang Qianjun preparing to attack again.
By now, four members of the Blazing Fire Team had already left the stage, while the Heavenly Dou Team remained unscathed. Moreover, Li Xun had yet to make a move.
Even if they could suppress Li Xun, there was no chance of winning in this situation. Continuing the fight would only risk unnecessary injuries, affecting their performance in future matches.
Seeing Huo Wushuang surrender, Feng Xiaotian sighed. He hadn't expected to lose even after joining the Blazing Fire Team.
"Brother, the match is over," Ning Rongrong said, tilting her head and looking at Li Xun with her big eyes.
"?? I know, what's up?" Li Xun was puzzled.
Ning Rongrong reached out and pinched Li Xun's waist hard. "If you know, why haven't you moved your arm? My shoulder is numb from your weight."
"Oh! So now that the match is over, you don't need protection anymore, huh?" Li Xun chuckled, pinching Ning Rongrong's chubby cheeks and pulling them. "I always knew you had a rebellious streak."
"Hehe... Brother... I'm sorry..." Ning Rongrong quickly put on a smile, mumbling through her pinched cheeks. Her small hands rubbed Li Xun's waist. "Give me another chance!"
"There are too many people here. I'll deal with you when we get home."
Cheers erupted in the arena.
The audience knew that Li Xun was strong, but they didn't expect the other members of the Heavenly Dou Team to be equally formidable.
"Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is really lucky!" Shi Nian, who had come to gather intelligence without a match today, frowned in the audience seats.
Originally, he thought Li Xun alone would be troublesome enough, but he didn't expect the other members of Heavenly Dou to be no pushovers either.
If the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill could still hold its ground before, now it was hard to say. After all, apart from those two defensive Soul Masters and that strong offensive one, Heavenly Dou seemed quite challenging.
However, no matter how troublesome they were, Shi Nian didn't dare to assassinate him. After all, who in Heavenly Dou City didn't know that Li Xun was Ning Fengzhi's disciple and the Crown Prince's minor advisor?
"Forget it, if we encounter them, we'll just have to admit defeat. Let's deal with the immediate trouble first," Shi Nian sighed, then turned his gaze to the Shrek Academy Team, who were also watching the match.
"The strongest in the Shrek Academy Team is undoubtedly Yu Tianheng, followed by Dai Mubai. That Tang San is also decent, but his Martial Soul's weakness is too obvious. He's easily countered by ice and fire."
Shi Nian stroked his chin, a glint of cunning flashing in his eyes: "As long as we eliminate them, Canghui Academy might advance. It's also a good chance to make those brats who bullied our Canghui Academy pay the price."
After watching the Heavenly Dou Royal Team's match, the Shrek Academy members left the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena with heavy hearts.
"Xiao San, Mubai, you guys take them back first. I have something to attend to," Yu Tianheng said, glancing at the sky.
Upon hearing Yu Tianheng's words, the Shrek Academy members immediately knew what he was up to, and their expressions varied.
Ye Lingling and Jiangzhu snorted, not even interested in speaking, and turned to leave.
Tang San didn't mind such matters and nodded at Yu Tianheng, telling him to return soon, then left with Xiao Wu, Tailong, and the others.
Only Dai Mubai stood in place, his emotions momentarily uncontrollable.
After all, it was he and Ma Hongjun who had introduced Yu Tianheng to this path. But now, he and Fatty had become useless, while Yu Tianheng remained unscathed.
Dai Mubai's eyes flashed with coldness. They were all Li Xun's enemies, so why were only he and Ma Hongjun the ones who suffered? If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't seek revenge alone...
Seeing Dai Mubai standing there with a flickering gaze, Yu Tianheng realized he had said the wrong thing and awkwardly smiled: "Mubai, I really have something to take care of. I'll head out first."
With that, Yu Tianheng quickly turned and walked down another path.
Now, there were two people in Shrek Academy who absolutely couldn't be provoked: Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.
Since losing their male dignity, both of them had undergone drastic changes in temperament, their moods becoming unpredictable.
Especially Fatty, whose Evil Fire was exceptionally fierce. He used to suppress it by visiting brothels, but now that he couldn't, he had to either soak in the lake bottom or use large amounts of ice.
Yu Tianheng always felt that this method of suppression wasn't very effective, but what did that have to do with him?
Yu Tianheng occasionally glanced at the shop signs along the street, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "This is the one!"
But just as he was about to enter the shop, he suddenly felt the store moving further away from him.
"What's going on?" Yu Tianheng was startled and quickly assumed a defensive stance.
The bustling street suddenly became hazy, and in the blink of an eye, it had transformed into a desolate wilderness. Yu Tianheng turned his head sharply, and through the layers of forest, he could faintly see the walls of Heavenly Dou City.
"Tsk tsk, your vigilance is truly lacking. You're nothing but a talent without substance," a ethereal voice echoed around him, laced with a cold chuckle. Following this, an elderly man in white robes slowly materialized.
"Shi Nian?" Yu Tianheng was startled. "What do you want?"
"Naturally, I want you to disappear from this world," Shi Nian replied with a calm smile.
"I am the direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant School, the grandson of Yu Yuanzhen himself. Do you dare lay a hand on me?" Yu Tianheng's heart tightened, and Spirit Rings appeared at his feet as he prepared for a desperate fight.
"Haha, in this desolate wilderness, since you already know the answer, I need not explain further," Shi Nian laughed heartily at Yu Tianheng's defensive stance. He relished the sight of his enemies dying in despair.
"Go ahead and scream. No one will disturb us here, and no one will ever know," Shi Nian taunted with a laugh.
After an unknown amount of time, Shi Nian emerged from the forest, humming a tune with a sneer on his face.
"Tsk tsk, I never expected you to have such perverse tastes."
