Suddenly, Huyan Li charged forward, throwing a punch at Ning Rongrong.
Everyone was bewildered, not understanding why the Shrek Team, with its four main attackers, ignored the three support members. Although two of these supports hadn't taken action and were merely playing cards, there was still a Soul Master with a Nine Treasures Glaze Tower among them, which greatly enhanced their support capabilities.
They couldn't figure it out and sighed inwardly, "The Shrek Team is going to lose."
However, at the very moment everyone thought this, a shocking scene unfolded!
The masked teenager made his move. Just as Huyan Li was about to deliver a punch to the front of Ning Rongrong, the teenager clenched his right hand into a fist and swung it powerfully to the side!
Ye Yu cursed, "Get lost! I've finally got the landlord card with a good hand; don't disturb us!"
Whoosh!!
Huyan Li's heart trembled, initially dismissive. How powerful could a support's punch be? It couldn't have any effect on him, but suddenly, as the punch approached, an unsettling feeling arose within him, as if the air itself was being torn apart with a howling sound!
Huyan Li was startled, knowing this punch was powerful!
He swiftly twisted his body with all his might, turning to the side, his arms crossed while his third and fourth Soul Rings flashed simultaneously.
As the third Soul Ring shone, a diamond-like cuticle covered his arms—this was the true skin of his Martial Soul, the Diamond Mammoth, providing even greater defense.
Meanwhile, his fourth Soul Skill boosted his defensive power.
Having done this, he felt relieved. Even with all these Soul Techniques used and the defensive power of his Soul Bone, he thought it would be impossible for even someone with innate divine power among the supports to...
Boom!!
Ye Yu's fist landed on him, causing Huyan Li's expression to change drastically. The sharp pain in his arms instantly turned into numbing paralysis!
At the moment of impact, the shockwave's loud boom left most people stunned, their eardrums aching as if two mountains had collided!
Everyone's eyes widened because Huyan Li was actually repelled!
Thump thump thump thump thump...
Huyan Li was forced back eight steps. With his frame as massive as a small mountain, each step spanned a meter. Each step left a huge footprint, and the arena surface around the imprint began to crack.
Blood trickled from the corner of Huyan Zhen's mouth, his arms hanging down, trembling incessantly.
He looked utterly shocked, incredulous, "How is this possible?!"
Not only him, but everyone besides those who knew Ye Yu widened their eyes in disbelief.
The audience erupted into a frenzy.
"What happened? Huyan Li was knocked back by that support guy's punch?"
"Incredible! And that support didn't even activate his Martial Soul or Soul Ring! The Nine Treasures Glaze Tower girl didn't boost him either, yet he relies solely on his own strength to overpower Huyan Li using his Soul Bone!"
"My God, unbelievable! Is that really a Support Type?"
"Looks like this Support Type teenager is the strongest in the Shrek Team!"
...
They were all in utter shock. They thought Ye Yu was the weakest, merely filling numbers, but unexpectedly, he was the strongest.
Emperor Xue Ye, after his initial shock, mused silently, "Could this teenager be the super 'demon' Chief Meng was talking about?"
Having witnessed it firsthand, he found it astonishing and intimidating, his heart filled with rage. His gaze scanned over the first row of the audience, eventually finding Xue Xing and glaring at him fiercely.
Xue Xing, naturally aware, immediately shrunk his head, feeling uneasy inside.
He honestly didn't want Xue Ye to see Ye Yu's match, fearing that after watching, Xue Ye would grow even more furious and punish him again.
At that moment, Xue Ye kept cursing Xue Xing inwardly. Despite being a patient person and an emperor who needed to maintain composure, this was unbearable because Ye Yu was too extraordinary. If it weren't for Xue Xing, the Shrek Team would be representing Tian Dou Royal Academy in the competition. Then Tian Dou Empire would surely emerge as the champion!
Although the Shrek Team was comprised of Tian Dou people, if they represented Tian Dou Royal Academy and won, it would bring even more prestige to the Tian Dou Royal Family.
Huyan Li's arms were numb as if they didn't belong to him, an oversight hard to believe.
Ye Yu completely ignored him, eyes fixed intently on his cards.
"Three-four-five-six-seven-eight-nine-ten!"
"Pass."
"Pass."
"Three twos with a pair, king bomb!"
Ye Yu grinned, finally achieving victory.
Ning Rongrong sighed softly, "Brother Yu, your hand was too good."
Ye Yu nodded, "Indeed, feeling lucky, let's continue!"
Huyan Li frowned, standing there indecisive on what to do next. He wanted to continue attacking but hesitated. Walking away would be too shameful. As the captain of the Xiangjia Team, should he give up such a prime opportunity because of a single support? The Shrek Team's four main attackers didn't protect these three supports, practically inviting wolves into their midst.
Ye Yu shuffled the cards and glanced at Huyan Li to his right, his eyes turning cold, "What are you standing there for if you're not leaving? Get lost, your towering presence is blinding my view of the cards. If you don't leave, it won't be as simple as shoving you back later on."
Huyan Li's expression turned grim, speaking in a deep voice, "How could a Support Type like you possess such immense strength?"
Ye Yu didn't answer, instead continuing to play cards, ignoring Huyan Li, fuelling his anger further.
"Damn it! I must take you three supports down from this stage! Second brother, third brother, come help me!"
"Yes, big brother!"
At this moment, Tang San, Zhu Zhuqing, Huang Yuan, and Jing Ling were struggling against the six members of the Xiangjia Team, enabling the Xiangjia Team to spare some manpower. Two team members rushed over.
To their surprise, the four of Tang San still showed no intention of stopping them.
As the second and third brothers approached, Huyan Li regained a lot of confidence. Though this Support Type teenager is peculiar, with the three of them working together, there was no need to worry. Together, they would definitely take down the three supports before them.
Three people's four Soul Rings shone brightly, the other two also collided, their skin covered with diamond cuticles, resembling Diamond Mammoths even more.
Boom, boom, boom!
The trio circled behind Ye Yu and charged forward. Every step shook the arena as they put all their might into punching, their three fists combined larger than Ye Yu himself.
Ye Yu, feeling helpless, lifted his hand to remove his mask.
"So annoying, looks like I have to take off the mask to scare you away."
Ye Yu's actions and words caused the charging trio to burst into laughter.
Huyan Li mocked, "How ridiculous, I thought you'd have some strategy, but you plan to scare us by taking off your mask? When we told you not to take it off earlier, fearing we'd be frightened, it was sarcasm. Did you take it seriously? Hahaha... Even if you're uglier than a Fierce Ghost, uglier beyond imagination, we won't be scared by you!"
"Oh? Is that so?"
Ye Yu's lips curled into a smile, slowly turning his head while removing the mask.
