Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing fought two people alone.
Zhuqing's speed was extremely fast, and her reaction ability was very strong; a one-on-two fight didn't faze her.
She even had a slight advantage, as the buffs on her were not fake.
When Dugu Yan saw Water Binger about to activate her Domain, she immediately spewed out a thick purple mist that spread through the air.
The poisonous mist had a pungent, fishy smell that made people nauseous and dizzy; just a slight contact with the purple mist would quickly turn one into pus and lead to death.
"This is troublesome," Water Binger murmured softly.
Among them, only Shui Yueer could easily shatter or blow away Dugu Yan's poisonous mist, but Shui Yueer was currently being held back by Meng Yiran and couldn't handle it.
Water Binger could only release her Repulsion Ice Ring again, solving part of the poisonous mist, but a little of it still reached her and the person beside her.
The two immediately turned purple, but the problem wasn't too severe.
Seeing this, Red Flame and Scarlet Serpent immediately stepped forward.
Water Binger noticed the ground beneath her feet suddenly turned red, sensed danger, and immediately fled.
The next moment, a small volcano erupted, spewing countless red potatoes that covered the nearby area, causing large-scale attacks and further compressing Tianshui Academy's movement space.
And Scarlet Serpent immediately shot out 108 chili bombs from its body, like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, flying in all directions.
Each chili bomb was only thumb-sized, but they streaked across the sky, leaving trails of fiery red.
Boom!!!
When the first one hit the ground, a ball of flame exploded instantly, and the scorching fire, mixed with a pungent chili smell, swept in all directions.
Immediately after, the second, third… a series of explosions, one after another, turned the entire arena into a sea of fire.
Not only Tianshui Academy, but even Tian Dou Royal Academy's position was compressed.
Even the pungent chili smell made everyone cough non-stop, with tears streaming down their faces.
It was truly a case of harming the enemy a thousand while losing eight hundred.
"Cough cough… This chili is too strong, Xiao Ze, are you a spy?" Ning Rongrong covered her mouth and nose, her eyes watery, and said speechlessly.
"Nonsense, maybe Scarlet Serpent's strength has increased now; I remember it wasn't this serious before." Xiao Ze was also a bit embarrassed; Scarlet Serpent hadn't fought in a long time, who knew the effect would be so strong?
Zhu Zhuqing, relying on her agile figure, moved through the fire, but every breath made her throat uncomfortable.
Outside the arena, the audience was shocked by this astonishing scene.
"Good heavens, Xiao Ze is messing around."
"Yeah, this is quite damaging to his own people."
"Cough cough… Damn it! It's blowing over here."
"Quick, quickly, blow them back."
They were even more speechless; they were just watching a match, and now they had to deal with problems.
At this point, the people from Shenfeng Academy stepped up, each going to a different spot to blow the chili-infused smoke back.
Xiao Ze wiped away the tears caused by the choking and directly let Scarlet Serpent and the others act on their own; if he didn't fly up, he wouldn't be able to see the surroundings inside such a fire.
He could only stay behind with Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling, waiting for the battle to end.
The few people on Tianshui Academy's side were even more uncomfortable.
Not only were they tormented by the chili flames, but they also faced the encirclement of Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran.
For example, Shui Yueer's eyes were somewhat swollen, and she could only squint, with tears constantly flowing.
"Nasty Brother Xiao Ze~ You're messing around, my eyes have never been this swollen."
"Sister, my eyes are almost unable to open either." Water Binger's situation was better, but the flames were most severe where they were, and the chili was even worse.
In the sea of fire, Scarlet Serpent's figure was faintly visible.
These chilies had no effect on Scarlet Serpent; it wouldn't be choked at all.
So, it was the only one that could maintain its combat power.
Scarlet Serpent immediately activated Scarlet Serpent True Fire, entering its True Fire form.
At this moment, Scarlet Serpent was engulfed in flames, even merging with the flames on the field.
Coupled with its similar body color, if one didn't get close, they wouldn't even see it.
Scarlet Serpent's burning chili tendrils turned into whip blades, constantly attacking the girls of Tianshui Academy.
They also wanted to fight back, but their eyes would close from time to time, otherwise, they would be miserably uncomfortable.
And for them, this was a disaster-level danger.
In a short while, three or four people were defeated and left the stage.
"Damn it! I'm not fighting anymore." Shui Yueer collapsed; later, her eyes were as if blind, already unable to open. What kind of summoned beast was this, with the same color as the flames? It was utterly ridiculous.
Xiao Ze felt he had discovered a good fighting method.
Although it was a bit inhumane, it was effective.
Soon, everyone from Tianshui Academy left the stage.
Xiao Ze and the others left the stage, and as soon as he stepped down, he saw the referee.
"Shouldn't you be on the stage? And your sunglasses?" Xiao Ze asked.
"Do I look stupid to you? With this chili, I'm already uncomfortable here." The referee took off his sunglasses, and Xiao Ze saw his slightly red and swollen eyes.
Xiao Ze was a bit embarrassed: "Uh, my bad."
"Don't say anything more. Don't let it go up next time. You have many summoned beasts, just don't send it up." The referee grabbed Xiao Ze's arm excitedly and said.
"I know, I didn't expect it to be like this either."
Xiao Ze then looked at his group and the people from Tianshui Academy; they were in a sorry state, and he felt a bit guilty.
Ning Rongrong's originally lively eyes were now red and swollen, looking very strange.
Dugu Yan's iconic purple lipstick was even smudged by tears.
Zhu Zhuqing also kept wiping her red eyes with a handkerchief.
"Uh… that… Yue'er, you all come over here, I'll heal you."
"Coming."
Shui Yueer led the Tianshui girl group slowly over.
"Lingling, heal them."
"Mm." Ye Lingling had already quietly healed herself; she was the least affected and healed quickly.
As spirit power circulated, the redness and swelling around their eyes subsided at a visible rate.
"Xiao Ze… you're too much, my eyes are almost blind." Ning Rongrong pounced on him, grabbed Xiao Ze's neck, and shook him.
Although Zhu Zhuqing didn't speak, her eyes clearly indicated that she had noted this incident.
Shui Yueer linked arms with Xiao Ze, piteously saying, "Brother Xiao Ze, you have to compensate us; you've really put us through hell."
"Okay, I'll compensate you. What do you want?" Xiao Ze asked.
"Cook for us, Brother Xiao Ze, your cooking is so good; it would be a shame not to cook," Shui Yueer immediately said.
Ning Rongrong and the others nodded at her words.
Xiao Ze rarely cooked, but his food was truly delicious. They wanted to eat it every day, but that was impossible, as Xiao Ze was very busy.
But this time, they absolutely had to eat it.
"Alright, alright, this time I'll make you a grand feast!"
