Zhu Zhuqing had already ignored Yang Tian's teasing. Her clear, cold eyes fixated on the Fire Snake Spirit Elder, her dark claws wreathed in crimson flames—that was the Fallen Heart Flame!
Using the Fallen Heart Flame as a seed, Yang Tian infused a portion of his spirit power into Zhu Zhuqing's body, temporarily boosting her combat strength and making her immune to fire-attribute burns.
Not only that, but in the Douluo Continent, even extreme flames would be three points weaker against an abnormal flame, let alone the flames of a Fire Snake Spirit?
"First Spirit Ability, Hell Rush Stab!" Zhu Zhuqing didn't hesitate and attacked directly, while the Fire Snake Spirit Elder didn't show weakness either, his first spirit ring lighting up: "Flame Burst!"
However, the flames spewed by the Fire Snake had no effect on Zhu Zhuqing. She barely even dodged and arrived beside the Fire Snake Spirit Elder, her claws, imbued with the Fallen Heart Flame, directly broke through his defense, leaving four bloodstains over twenty centimeters long on his body.
"Ah!" The Fire Snake Spirit Elder cried out in pain. But how fast was Zhu Zhuqing? With Yang Tian's spirit power enhancement, Zhu Zhuqing's speed was even faster than an agility-attack system Spirit Elder.
"Hundred Hell Claws!" Zhu Zhuqing seemed genuinely angry. It would be strange if a girl wasn't angry after being stared at by a perverted man like that.
Soon, bloodstains covered the Fire Snake Spirit Elder's body, and the Fallen Heart Flame lingered in the wounds, making it impossible for him to even use his Spirit Abilities.
"Ow ow ow, I, I... sur... sur... surrender!"
The Fire Snake Spirit Elder managed to stammer out the word 'surrender,' and then was slapped off the stage by Yang Tian, who was watching from the side. Meanwhile, the Fire Lion Spirit Elder inside the green flame barrier lay on the ground, completely dehydrated, as if he had been thrown into a pot and boiled for half an hour.
Zhu Zhuqing returned to Yang Tian's side, and he gave her a thumbs-up: "Amazing!"
After speaking, he retracted the Fallen Heart Flame. Zhu Zhuqing felt the warm current leave her body, and immediately felt that something was missing. Her strength returned to its original level, but a lingering warmth remained inside, cozy and very comfortable.
The two left behind a clamor. No one had expected that the Heaven Cat Combination, who had not been favored, would ultimately be victorious.
The two walked out of the Dou Hun Stage, and at this moment, Fatty was saying goodbye to everyone, intending to go find Flender. No need to ask, it must be to resolve the problem of his evil fire.
"Boss Dai, are you going?" Ma Hongjun rubbed his hands, looking eager.
"No, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and go." Dai Mubai glared at him in annoyance, his peripheral vision drifting towards Zhu Zhuqing.
Fatty's reaction was clearly a bit slow and he didn't grasp the meaning in Dai Mubai's eyes. His chubby face was flushed with excitement, "Let's go, let's go together. Didn't you say women aren't people, but resources?"
Dai Mubai finally couldn't stand it anymore, "Get lost. I don't have such bad taste as you."
Zhu Zhuqing snorted, then suddenly walked in front of Dai Mubai, "Is your taste better than his?"
Dai Mubai was stunned, unsure how to answer. "Zhuqing, I…"
He had realized at this moment that he had said the wrong thing. Saying his taste was better than Fatty's, wasn't that still referring to women in that particular profession? Whether high-class or low-class, whether a phoenix from a humble nest or a courtesan, what difference was there in their profession?
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes suddenly filled with disdain and contempt, "You're fifteen? You disgust me." With that, she turned and left.
Ever since Zhu Zhuqing came to Shrek Academy, Dai Mubai had been suppressing himself, tolerating her, but at this moment, he, who was always cold and arrogant, could no longer restrain the anger in his heart. He even thought of Yang Tian, and his anger intensified: "Stop right there."
Zhu Zhuqing left without looking back. Seeing this, Dai Mubai clenched his fists tightly: "I told you to stop!"
Zhu Zhuqing paused, turned back, her beautiful eyes still cold, the disappointment in them even more intense. Dai Mubai was furious and raised his hand to strike Zhu Zhuqing's face.
Zhu Zhuqing's heart turned to ashes. He actually made a move? Although, that hand was blocked…
Yang Tian held Dai Mubai's arm with one hand, frowning, but didn't speak.
Dai Mubai saw Yang Tian gripping his wrist, his anger surged again, and he raised his other hand, still wanting to strike. However, at this moment, a chill suddenly enveloped Dai Mubai's heart.
Golden light surged in Yang Tian's eyes, and the hand gripping Dai Mubai slowly loosened, but Dai Mubai didn't dare to make any further moves.
What kind of pupils were those? Golden tomoe linked together, slowly rotating. Dai Mubai believed that if he dared to make a move, in the next instant, he would suffer an attack from those eyes.
"Let's go."
Yang Tian ignored Dai Mubai and directly pulled Zhu Zhuqing's hand, leading her away.
Seeing this, Tang San glanced at Dai Mubai, then decisively pulled Xiao Wu and followed them. To be honest, Dai Mubai's performance today greatly disappointed them. Of course, even if it weren't for that, if Yang Tian and Dai Mubai made Tang San choose one, he would naturally choose his sworn elder brother.
Helping family over reason, that was Tang San's principle.
As everyone left, Dai Mubai finally gradually calmed down. He had no choice but to calm down; that glance, he probably wouldn't forget it in this lifetime.
Yang Tian kept holding Zhu Zhuqing's hand, not giving her a chance to break free.
It wasn't until they returned to the Academy that Yang Tian reluctantly let go of Zhu Zhuqing's small hand, smiling as he faced her angry stare: "Get some rest early, don't overthink it. I just wanted to take advantage."
"Pfft! You're not a good person either!" Zhu Zhuqing left with a red face. Yang Tian then looked towards a dark spot: "Peeping isn't a good habit. Doesn't your butt hurt anymore?"
There was no response. Yang Tian smiled slightly, ignored it, and returned to his room.
After Yang Tian left, Ning Rongrong, whose butt had recovered thanks to Yang Tian's medicinal pills, crept out from a small corner, gritting her silver teeth: "Let's see how I'll deal with you! Want to pick up girls? No way!"
Yang Tian naturally didn't know Ning Rongrong's thoughts. What bad intentions could a little brother have?
Lying on the bed, Yang Tian checked his gains for the day: one Brave Steal Voucher and two Ordinary Steal Vouchers.
He would keep them for now.
Cultivate! This time, it was naturally to cultivate spirit power!
He took out a piece of Divine Origin he had stolen yesterday. It was only the size of a pinky finger, crystal clear, and looked very appetizing.
"I wonder how many levels this will help me advance?" The Divine Origin contained abundant energy, and Yang Tian immediately began to refine it.
Strands of origin energy were refined, and Yang Tian's spirit power soared. In just two hours, he broke through two bottlenecks, reaching level thirty-three, and the Divine Origin turned into ash.
Waking up, Yang Tian sighed. This was the rhythm of opening for half a year and making up for half a year's worth of progress.
It was almost two in the morning. Yang Tian had no intention of continuing to cultivate and lay down to sleep. However, just as he was about to drift off, Yang Tian suddenly sat up and looked out the window.
There was a small forest near the Academy cafeteria. Because villagers cleaned it, there were no weeds in the forest, only sparse fallen leaves.
Yang Tian walked through the forest, his feet crunching on the leaves.
"Why are you here?" Ahead, a black figure turned, her clear, cold voice filled with doubt.
