The two of them can use a Spirit Fusion Skill; people of the same Rank or even those with a higher Rank than them cannot defeat them.
Thinking of this, Dai Mubai wobbled as he got off the bed.
Leaving the Medical Room, Dai Mubai found a staff member to ask a question.
Learning that Zhu Zhuqing had already left, Dai Mubai thought for a moment and left the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena, heading towards the Suotuo City Hotel.
Just as he arrived at the Suotuo City Hotel, Dai Mubai saw Zhu Zhuqing going upstairs.
Seeing this, Dai Mubai hurriedly ran over... "Zhuqing, wait a moment."
As Zhu Zhuqing was about to enter her room to rest, Dai Mubai's voice came from behind her.
Hearing Dai Mubai's voice, Zhu Zhuqing's heart was filled with a mix of emotions.
Thinking about how Dai Mubai had abandoned her and run away alone, Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath, regained her composure, and looked back at Dai Mubai.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dai Mubai and asked, "Dai Mubai, is there something?"
Dai Mubai was panting, cold sweat still lingering on his forehead, and his face was somewhat pale because the dizziness hadn't faded: "Zhuqing, I... I have something to say to you."
Zhu Zhuqing stood sideways at the doorway, gripping the doorknob, her voice as cold as ever: "Speak."
The lights in the hallway fell on her face, outlining a cold silhouette; there was not a single ripple in her eyes, as if she were looking at an irrelevant stranger.
Dai Mubai said to Zhu Zhuqing, "Zhuqing, I'm very sorry. When I left alone back then, I had my reasons."
He didn't have any unspeakable reasons at all; he simply didn't want to die.
As for why he didn't take Zhu Zhuqing with him, he had no feelings for her at all, and taking her along would only bring him trouble.
The current Zhu Zhuqing made Dai Mubai's heart race incredibly.
Zhu Zhuqing's looks and figure were both top-tier, the best among all the women he had ever seen.
At the thought that Zhu Zhuqing was his fiancée, Dai Mubai felt incredibly happy.
Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but sneer and said to Dai Mubai, "Dai Mubai, don't think I don't know. After you came here, you went out looking for women every other day. What 'reasons' could you possibly have?"
She never felt that a man could only have one woman; things like having three wives and four concubines were very normal.
Initially, she also thought Dai Mubai had some hidden troubles, but after learning from Ning Rongrong what Dai Mubai usually did, she was utterly disappointed in him.
While she was being hunted, Dai Mubai was playing with women; while she was sleeping in the wild, Dai Mubai was playing with women.
Thinking about her own experiences while Dai Mubai was out playing with women, she felt beyond disappointed in him.
Dai Mubai's face instantly turned bright red, as if he had been slapped hard; his eyes, which had held a hint of guilt just a moment ago, immediately became flustered.
Zhu Zhuqing's words were like a sharp knife, accurately dissecting those filthy thoughts he thought he could hide.
"I... I didn't..." Dai Mubai subconsciously wanted to retort, but was looked down by Zhu Zhuqing's icy gaze until he lost his nerve. His voice grew smaller and smaller, finally leaving only a weak defense, "That was all... just acting for the occasion."
"Acting for the occasion?" Zhu Zhuqing looked as if she had heard a joke, a mocking arc curling at the corner of her mouth. "When I was driven to a dead end by assassins, you were acting; when I was traveling and sleeping in the wild just to find you, nearly dying in the mouths of Spirit Beasts several times, you were still acting. Dai Mubai, are these your 'reasons'?"
Her voice wasn't high, but every word cut to the heart; every syllable was like tempered ice, smashing into Dai Mubai's heart.
Dai Mubai opened his mouth, wanting to explain something, but found that all words were pale and powerless in the face of these facts.
He indeed indulged in fleeting pleasures when she needed him most.
He thought that as long as he ran far enough, he could escape the shadow of the Star Luo Empire and forget the fiancée who needed him to fight by her side.
It wasn't until today, after being soundly defeated by Xiao Wu and seeing Zhu Zhuqing's eyes full of disappointment, that he realized too late that what he had lost was far more than what he had gained.
He regretted it; he wanted to repair his relationship with Zhu Zhuqing.
"Zhuqing, I know I was wrong." Dai Mubai's voice carried a hint of pleading.
Dai Mubai took a step forward, attempting to grab Zhu Zhuqing's hand, "Give me a chance, okay? Let's start over, just like before, Cultivate together, fight together, I will never again..."
"No need." Zhu Zhuqing took a step back, avoiding his touch. The determination in her eyes was like a frozen lake in midwinter. "Dai Mubai, it ended between us long ago. From the moment you left without saying goodbye, it was over."
Zhu Zhuqing paused, looking at Dai Mubai's despondent appearance, her tone carrying a bit more exhaustion: "I didn't come to Suotuo City to rekindle some past romance with you; I just wanted to prove that without you, I, Zhu Zhuqing, can still become strong. As for the Spirit Fusion Skill..."
Zhu Zhuqing's gaze fell on her own hands: "Whether or not there is a Hell White Tiger, I can keep going."
Looking at the determination in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, the bit of regret stirred up in Dai Mubai's heart suddenly twisted into a paranoid possessiveness.
Dai Mubai suddenly took a step forward and reached out to grab Zhu Zhuqing's wrist, his voice carrying an unquestionable arrogance: "Zhuqing, you are my fiancée! This is a rule set by the Star Luo Empire imperial family. Where do you think you're going?"
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes turned sharp as she tried to break free: "Let go! Dai Mubai, don't force me to take action!"
As the two struggled, Dai Mubai's strength was naturally greater than Zhu Zhuqing's. Coupled with his current emotional state, he actually managed to grip her wrist tightly.
Dai Mubai's tone carried a hint of madness: "I won't let go! Unless you come back with me and we team up again, otherwise I'll waste away right here today!"
"You are simply unreasonable!" Zhu Zhuqing was both angry and anxious.
Just then, a calm voice came from the end of the hallway: "Release her."
Dai Mubai subconsciously turned his head and saw Xu Yuan standing there at some point, hands in his pockets, looking at him with a neutral gaze.
"Xu Yuan? This is none of your business!" Dai Mubai was like a lit firecracker; the anger suppressed on the Spirit Fighting Stage earlier instantly transferred to Xu Yuan. "This is between me and Zhuqing, it's not your place to interfere!"
Xu Yuan didn't speak, but his body moved slightly, and in the next second, he appeared in front of the two.
Xu Yuan raised his hand, seemingly casually resting it on Dai Mubai's arm, and a gentle yet irresistible force came through.
"Ah!"
Dai Mubai only felt his arm go numb, and his hand gripping Zhu Zhuqing involuntarily let go as his whole body stumbled backward.
*Thud*
He fell to the ground with a thud, right on the old injury from where Xiao Wu had slammed him earlier, making him grimace in pain.
"You!" Dai Mubai was both shocked and furious. He hadn't expected Xu Yuan to suddenly take action, and the speed was so fast he couldn't even react.
Zhu Zhuqing rubbed her reddened wrist. When she looked at Xu Yuan, a flash of complexity crossed her eyes, then she turned to Dai Mubai on the ground, her tone as cold as ice: "Dai Mubai, look clearly
She took a deep breath, walked to Xu Yuan's side, and reached out to take his arm, her movements as natural as if they had been practiced a thousand times.
"The person I like is Xu Yuan." Zhu Zhuqing's voice spread clearly through the corridor, every word like a nail, pinning Dai Mubai's heart. "From today on, I am his woman. As for you, you're just a part of the past."
Dai Mubai lay on the ground, looking at the scene in disbelief.
Zhu Zhuqing held Xu Yuan's arm, her profile appearing soft under the light—a look he had never seen before.
A chill rose from the soles of his feet, instantly freezing all his words.
Xu Yuan looked down at the hand holding his arm and raised an eyebrow, but he didn't push her away.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't give Dai Mubai another glance. She pulled Xu Yuan toward her room, pushed the door open, and shut that despondent figure out completely.
The moment the door closed, Zhu Zhuqing seemed to deflate like a popped balloon. She abruptly let go of his arm and slid down against the door, her cheeks flushed with an abnormal red and her breathing slightly hurried.
"Sorry, just now..." Zhu Zhuqing looked up to explain, only to meet Xu Yuan's smiling eyes.
"Quite the Aura you had there." Xu Yuan leaned down and reached out his hand to Zhu Zhuqing. "Your acting was just a bit lacking."
Zhu Zhuqing froze for a moment before reacting. The blush on her face deepened, but she still took Xu Yuan's hand to stand up, whispering, "It's better than being pestered by him incessantly."
Knock, knock, knock—
Right then, the sound of someone pounding on the door rang out.
"Zhuqing, you are my fiancée! You can't stay in a room with another man!"
Hearing Dai Mubai's words, Zhu Zhuqing felt incredibly irritated.
Looking at Xu Yuan in front of her, in a moment of heat, Zhu Zhuqing directly kissed him.
Xu Yuan was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Zhu Zhuqing to actually kiss him.
"Brother Xu, take me, okay?"
"You won't regret it?"
"I won't."
...After a night of passion, Xu Yuan and Zhu Zhuqing slept in each other's arms.
The morning sun slipped into the room through a gap in the curtains, casting a long, thin band of light on the floor.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyelashes fluttered slightly as she slowly opened her eyes. What met her gaze was Xu Yuan's sleeping profile.
The scenes from last night flooded her mind like a tide. Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks instantly burned hot, and she instinctively shrank back into the quilt.
Xu Yuan slowly opened his eyes and looked at Zhu Zhuqing huddled in the quilt, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. "Awake?"
Being watched by Xu Yuan made Zhu Zhuqing even more uncomfortable. She quickly turned her face away, the tips of her ears so red they looked ready to bleed.
After the impulse of last night, all that remained was an unspeakable shyness and a trace of inexplicable fluster.
"I..." Zhu Zhuqing opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
Xu Yuan sat up and reached out to ruffle Zhu Zhuqing's hair, his movements natural and somewhat gentle. "No need to be nervous. I will take responsibility."
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly turned back to look at Xu Yuan, her eyes filled with surprise.
She had originally thought that last night was just a momentary lapse of passion and that it might be awkward after daybreak, but she hadn't expected him to be so direct.
"Responsibility?" Zhu Zhuqing repeated softly, her heart skipping a beat for some reason.
"Yes." Xu Yuan nodded, his gaze serious. "Since it happened, I won't act like it didn't. If you're willing, I'll protect you from now on."
Simple words, but they acted like a stabilizing pill, gradually calming Zhu Zhuqing's frantic heart.
Zhu Zhuqing looked into Xu Yuan's eyes. There was no hint of perfunctoriness in those deep pupils, only honesty and sincerity.
"Then... what about Dai Mubai's side..." Zhu Zhuqing still had some concerns.
"If he still dares to come and pester you, I'll handle it." Xu Yuan's tone carried an unquestionable certainty. "From the moment you said those words yesterday, from last night onwards, you are mine alone."
Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks heated up again, but she didn't argue further. She just gave a soft "mm" in agreement.
The two were silent for a moment, a faint ambiguity permeating the air.
Xu Yuan lifted the quilt, got out of bed, and began to get dressed.
Zhu Zhuqing watched his back, and thinking of last night's madness, she couldn't help but bury her face in the pillow again.
"I'll go get something to eat. You sleep a bit longer." After dressing, Xu Yuan looked back at Zhu Zhuqing, said his piece, and turned to walk out of the room.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Zhu Zhuqing finally lifted her head from the pillow. Looking at the empty room, her heart was filled with mixed emotions.
There was shyness and unease, but more than that, a sense of unprecedented security.
She knew she had made the right decision.
"Hm?" Just as Xu Yuan stepped out, he was surprised to see Dai Mubai sitting by the door.
Could it be that he had been listening at the door all night?
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan felt his scalp go numb.
Dai Mubai looked up, his eyes bloodshot and dark stubble appearing on his chin. He looked so haggard it was as if his soul had been sucked out.
He had heard everything that happened inside last night with perfect clarity.
Dai Mubai stared fixedly at Xu Yuan, his voice hoarse as if it had been scraped by sandpaper. "Where is she?"
Xu Yuan raised an eyebrow, his tone flat. "Resting."
"Tell her to come out and see me!" Dai Mubai stood up abruptly, still bearing the disheveled state from being injured last night. "She is my fiancée, what right do you have..."
"The right of every word she said last night." Xu Yuan interrupted Dai Mubai.
Xu Yuan took a step forward, his invisible Aura spreading and forcing Dai Mubai to retreat involuntarily. "The right that she chose me, not you."
"Impossible!" Dai Mubai roared with bloodshot eyes. "She's just confused for a moment! You bewitched her!"
Xu Yuan sighed and said, "Isn't all of this because of you? If you hadn't abandoned Zhuqing alone, would any of this have happened? When I first met you, you were checking into a room with other women. After I left Suotuo City, I ran into Zhuqing being hunted by others."
"Do you have no idea how far Star Luo City is from here? You didn't care at all about the dangers she would face on the way. The first thing you did when you saw Zhuqing wasn't to apologize to her, but to annoy her. You, Dai Mubai, are the cause of all this."
Dai Mubai seemed to have all his strength drained away. He slumped to the ground, his eyes wandering blankly across the floor.
Xu Yuan's words were like sharp knives, precisely carving open his shell of self-deception and laying bare the facts he had deliberately ignored.
"I... at that time..." Dai Mubai wanted to defend himself.
He wanted to say he was forced by his Family, that he had his reasons, but when the words reached his lips, he found all excuses were laughably pale.
No matter what the reason was, he had ultimately left her alone in the wind and rain.
"Whatever you were then has nothing to do with her now." Xu Yuan's voice was cold as ice.
Dai Mubai's shoulders trembled violently. He thrust his hands into his messy hair, his knuckles turning white from the force.
The silence in the corridor was broken by his suppressed sobs. There was no more of the previous roaring in that sound, only crushed remorse
"It was my fault..." Dai Mubai repeated over and over, his voice low and raspy, almost inaudible. "I shouldn't have... shouldn't have left her behind..."
Xu Yuan let out a cold laugh. "You don't know you were wrong; you just know that Zhu Zhuqing has completely given up on you."
"Fiancée?" Dai Mubai snapped his head up, a glint of obsession flashing in his bloodshot eyes. "Our engagement still stands! The Star Luo Empire's laws recognize it, and the Zhu Family recognizes it! She is mine forever!"
Xu Yuan smiled and said, "What's the point? Given your current situation, can you even take the Throne? With the state of your Imperial Family, if you fail to take the Throne, your only end is death."
He knew clearly in his heart that Dai Weisi would never let Dai Mubai go.
In this situation, Dai Mubai would die whether he participated in the competition or not.
Hide away?
Dai Mubai thought others couldn't find him, but in reality, Dai Weisi and the others knew exactly where he was.
It was just that, knowing Dai Mubai's condition, they hadn't bothered to make a move against him yet.
Dai Mubai looked at Xu Yuan and clenched his fists, saying, "Don't get too cocky, Xu Yuan. Just you wait, I will definitely take Zhuqing back."
With that, he turned and left without looking back.
But after walking for a bit, Dai Mubai suddenly stopped, looked back at Xu Yuan, and said, "Next time, be a little gentler with Zhuqing."
Xu Yuan: "???"
God King Tang San: "???"
Seriously, man? The atmosphere just got all fired up, and you ruined it completely with that one sentence.
After saying that, Dai Mubai turned back and headed downstairs.
God King Tang San couldn't help but fall into thought; in all his long life, this was the first time he'd seen Mubai like this.
This display was truly enough to make one lose their composure.
Could it be that his own appearance had caused Dai Mubai to awaken some strange fetish?
Other than that possibility, he really couldn't think of any other explanation.
Coming back to his senses, Xu Yuan heard God King Tang San's thoughts and felt they made sense.
Xu Yuan left the hotel and bought several portions of breakfast. He estimated that Xiao Wu and the others wouldn't be up yet at this hour, so he might as well bring breakfast for everyone.
During their time together, his relationship with Tai Long and the others had been getting better and better.
Xu Yuan thought to himself that after they went to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he would prepare an Immortal Herb for each of Tai Long and the others.
They were brothers, after all. Giving them a stroke of good fortune was no big deal.
As for an excuse, he had naturally thought of one: he was cultivating a core team for Tang San for the future.
After delivering breakfast to Tai Long and the others one by one, Xu Yuan arrived at Liu Erlong's door.
Xu Yuan raised his hand and knocked on Liu Erlong's door, and a slightly languid voice soon came from inside.
"Who is it?"
"Teacher, it's me, Xu Yuan. I brought you breakfast."
The door opened with a click. Liu Erlong was wearing loose casual clothes, her long hair draped casually over her shoulders. She lacked her usual fiery temper and had a bit more of a soft, domestic feel.
Seeing the food box in Xu Yuan's hand, Liu Erlong raised an eyebrow. "How thoughtful of you. Come in."
Walking into the room, Xu Yuan set the breakfast on the table: freshly bought soy milk and fried dough sticks, along with several warm meat buns.
"I thought you might not have eaten breakfast, so I brought extra."
Liu Erlong sat down, picked up a meat bun, took a bite, and squinted her eyes in satisfaction. "You're the sensible one."
Xu Yuan sat opposite Liu Erlong and said, "Teacher, Zhuqing said she's not feeling well. Can today's training be moved to the evening?"
Liu Erlong took a sip of soy milk and arched an eyebrow. "Not feeling well? I'd say you were too intense last night and made it so Zhuqing couldn't get out of bed."
Stunned by Liu Erlong's words, Xu Yuan's cheeks burned. He gave a couple of dry coughs to try and cover it up. "Teacher, what are you thinking? Zhuqing really is just a bit exhausted."
Liu Erlong looked at Xu Yuan with a half-smile. "Oh? Is that so? Alright then, training is moved to the evening. But you'd better take good care of her. She's just a young girl; don't go making her feel mistreated."
"Don't worry, I will," Xu Yuan quickly promised.
He was a bit puzzled, wondering how Liu Erlong knew about this.
Liu Erlong patted Xu Yuan's head and said, "What happens between you and Zhuqing is between consenting adults; it's not my place to interfere. But you handled the matter with Dai Mubai very well. Don't let Zhuqing down."
Xu Yuan nodded, promising Liu Erlong that he would treat Zhu Zhuqing well.
Thinking of something, Liu Erlong smiled at Xu Yuan and said, "You'll have to handle things on Xiao Wu's side yourself; Teacher won't help you with that."
She wasn't repulsed by the idea of Xu Yuan having women on both sides; she felt it was quite normal.
In this era, it was common for men to have multiple wives and concubines, especially for Spirit Masters.
However, hearing the commotion in Zhu Zhuqing's room last night couldn't help but remind her of what happened that day.
At the same time, she felt a bit jealous—jealous that Xu Yuan was doing those things with another woman.
After chatting with Liu Erlong for a while, Xu Yuan got up to leave. He walked out of the hotel alone and wandered aimlessly through the streets.
He had intended to take care of Zhu Zhuqing, but for some reason, he suddenly wanted to go for a stroll by himself.
"Eh, Xu Yuan?"
After wandering the commercial street for a while, a young girl's voice called out from not far away.
Xu Yuan looked toward the sound and saw the sisters, Shui Yueer and Shui Binger.
Shui Yueer and Shui Binger quickened their pace and came to Xu Yuan's side.
Shui Yueer joked, "Hello there, handsome little brother."
Before, she had thought Xu Yuan was around her age, but after watching him in the Spirit Fight yesterday, she learned he was only 12 years old.
Shui Binger lightly tapped Shui Yueer's head and said, "Don't call people names blindly."
Xu Yuan didn't mind at all and said, "It's fine. Given my current age, there's no problem calling you two 'Big Sister'."
Shui Yueer let out an 'ouch' from the tap but wasn't afraid of her sister. Instead, she winked at Xu Yuan. "The little brother knows how things work. Speaking of which, your Spirit Fight against Tang San and the others yesterday was really brilliant. Especially your Blue Silver Grass—it's much more flexible than a typical control system Spirit Master's."
Shui Binger also nodded in agreement. "Your Blue Silver Grass seems different from other Blue Silver Grass Spirits. Is it a Mutated Spirit?"
Her tone carried curiosity, but her eyes held a hint of scrutiny.
As the captain of Tianshui Academy, her observation of the strong was always exceptionally detailed.
Xu Yuan nodded and said, "That's right, it mutated."
There was no point in hiding such a thing; anyone with a bit of knowledge could tell at a glance.
"It's not easy to mutate into something like this." A flash of surprise crossed Shui Binger's eyes, followed by realization. "No wonder your control is so startling; ordinary Blue Silver Grass definitely doesn't have this kind of toughness."
Shui Yueer leaned in, curiously sizing up Xu Yuan's hand. "Then is your spirit power also stronger than others your age? I heard Mutated Spirits are either Trash or top-tier!"
Xu Yuan nodded and said, "That's right. Let me treat you two sisters to some candied haws, as... thanks for your attention yesterday."
With that, he bought three sticks of candied haws and handed two of them to Shui Yueer and Shui Binger
Shui Yueer immediately took it, bit into a sugar-coated hawthorn, and squinted her eyes from the sourness while smiling brightly. "Wow! So sweet! I knew you were a good boy, little brother~"
Shui Binger took the candied haws, her gaze toward Xu Yuan softening slightly. "Thank you. Would you like to stroll around with us?"
The two of them were bored and out shopping; if Xu Yuan was willing to accompany them, they would certainly be very happy.
"Agree to it."
Just as Xu Yuan was about to speak, the voice of God King Tang San rang out.
Hearing God King Tang San's words, Xu Yuan felt a bit speechless, while also feeling that God King Tang San was truly getting a bit impatient.
Xu Yuan looked at the two of them and said, "Of course."
Shui Yueer's eyes lit up, and she immediately grabbed Xu Yuan's arm and pulled him forward. "Let's go, let's go! There's an accessory shop up ahead, the hairpins inside are beautiful!"
Shui Binger shook her head helplessly and followed behind them. Seeing her sister's boisterous manner and then looking at Xu Yuan, who was being pulled along without much resistance, a faint smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.
After spending the whole morning shopping with the Shui sisters, Xu Yuan felt truly exhausted.
This kind of fatigue wasn't physical, but an inexplicable mental weariness.
The thing he disliked most was accompanying women while they shopped because he felt as if women gained an infinite stamina buff when they went shopping.
After finishing their shopping, the Shui sisters treated Xu Yuan to lunch, and they only parted ways after the meal.
In the blink of an eye, night had fallen.
Liu Erlong led Xu Yuan's group to the Suotuo Soul Arena to participate in Spirit fights.
In the one-on-ones and two-on-twos, Xu Yuan's group won easily.
When it came to the team match, Xu Yuan hadn't expected to encounter the Shrek Academy team.
Xu Yuan noticed at this time that Shi Mo and Wang Hao both had quite a few scars on their faces; it seemed many things had happened previously in the Star Dou Great Forest.
"The battle... begins!"
As the referee's voice fell, everyone began to take action.
Xu Yuan's third spirit ring suddenly lit up, and an emerald green light spread out like ripples.
"Hah!" Tai Long was the first to feel the change, as his muscle-bound arms erupted with even more powerful force.
Immediately following, Tai Long underwent Martial Soul Possession and charged rapidly toward Dai Mubai.
"Second Spirit Skill: Explosive Great Strength."
While charging toward Dai Mubai, Tai Long used his Second Spirit Skill and simultaneously swung his fist at him.
Seeing Tai Long charging, Dai Mubai quickly activated Martial Soul Possession, and his third spirit ring lit up.
"Third Spirit Skill: White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
In the next second, Dai Mubai's body muscles swelled, and black horizontal stripes appeared on his skin.
Immediately after, Dai Mubai swung his fist, meeting Tai Long's fist head-on.
How could a mere Great Ape be a match for his White Tiger Spirit?
But Dai Mubai had never considered that, under the combined enhancement of the Second Spirit Skill: Explosive Great Strength and Xu Yuan's Third Spirit Skill Life Encouragement, he was simply not Tai Long's match.
Boom!
At the moment their fists met, the air seemed to be shaken into stagnation.
Dai Mubai felt a violent, massive force explode up his arm, and the muscle expansion brought by the White Tiger Vajra Transformation was actually shaken into a slight numbness.
His whole body retreated three steps uncontrollably, and the stone slabs beneath his feet cracked into fine patterns.
"How is this possible?!" Dai Mubai's eyes were full of astonishment; he had completely not expected things to turn out this way.
Tai Long did not give him a chance to daze out; taking advantage of the speed bonus from Xu Yuan's Life Encouragement, he closed in, his fists the size of clay pots smashing out in a sequence accompanied by the sound of breaking wind.
Every punch condensed the brute force of the Explosive Great Strength, forcing Dai Mubai to block repeatedly, his originally sharp offensive completely disrupted.
"Seven Treasures turn out to be Glazed. Seven Treasures have a name, one is: Strength."
"Seven Treasures turn out to be Glazed. Seven Treasures have a name, two is: Speed."
Ning Rongrong's Glazed Pagoda floated in mid-air, and two brilliant beams of light fell upon Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai felt the strength and speed in both arms surge by a margin, finally allowing him to barely keep up with Tai Long's punching speed.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The crisp sounds of fists colliding were as dense as drumbeats. With Ning Rongrong's amplification, Dai Mubai finally managed to steady his stance and could even occasionally counter-attack with a punch or two.
While Zhu Zhuqing used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, she simultaneously used Hell Rush Stab.
Combined with Xu Yuan's enhancement, Zhu Zhuqing's speed was so fast that the Shrek Academy side completely lost sight of her.
Zhu Zhuqing's target was Ning Rongrong; although the two had gotten along very well during this period, they were currently in battle and could not show mercy.
"Not good."
Only by using Purple Demon Eye could Tang San see clearly that Zhu Zhuqing's target was Ning Rongrong.
He felt a bit puzzled, as he thought the movement technique Zhu Zhuqing was using looked very much like Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.
However, looking closely, it wasn't the complete version of Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.
It looked like a simplified version of Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.
Tang San no longer had time to think about the situation and used his First Spirit Skill: Binding on Zhu Zhuqing.
Blue Silver Grass surged forward like a tide, instantly coiling toward Zhu Zhuqing's ankles.
But Zhu Zhuqing's figure was like a phantom; at the moment the Blue Silver Grass was about to touch her, she leaped up, narrowly avoiding the Binding.
"So fast."
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing in the air, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing in mid-air, Oscar hurriedly maintained a certain distance from Ning Rongrong.
Noticing Oscar, Ning Rongrong felt a bit speechless.
He said he liked me this morning, but as soon as danger appeared, he hurriedly kept his distance from me.
Tang San used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to give chase, engaging with Zhu Zhuqing.
Huang Yuan and Jing Ling faced off against Shi Mo and Wang Hao; with Xu Yuan's enhancement, Huang Yuan's duo was suppressing the other two.
Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was the number one support in the world, its weakness was obvious: its support effects were single-target and lacked an area-of-effect.
Though it had Heart Separation Control, it required long-term practice and a massive amount of spirit power.
It could only be said that there were pros and cons, and it couldn't completely make up for the shortcomings.
However, these things could not affect the fact that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was the premier support.
Ma Hongjun looked left and right and decided to make a move on Xiao Wu.
But before he could release his Spirit Ability, Xiao Wu had already arrived in front of him.
Second Spirit Skill: Charm
Xiao Wu came before Ma Hongjun and used Charm on him.
As a lecherous fellow, how could Ma Hongjun possibly resist Xiao Wu's Charm? He was controlled in the next second.
Ma Hongjun's eyes instantly became dazed, his body froze in place, and a silly grin even hung on the corner of his mouth.
A flash of cunning crossed Xiao Wu's eyes, and her slender waist suddenly exerted force as she grabbed Ma Hongjun's arm, pulling and spinning him.
Ma Hongjun's bulky body was actually thrown into the air by her with ease. Using the momentum of the rotation, Xiao Wu leaped up, her knee pressing against his back, forcefully pinning him toward the ground.
Boom!
The first dull thud sounded as Ma Hongjun crashed into the ground, sending dust flying everywhere.
But this was only the beginning. Xiao Wu gave him no chance to catch his breath; with a flick of her wrist, she gripped his shoulder, her body spinning rapidly like a top.
The continuous slams were like a violent storm. Ma Hongjun was spun until his head was reeling, and every collision with the ground made his bones feel like they were about to crack, his condensed spirit power being shaken and scattered.
He wanted to struggle, but he was locked tight by Xiao Wu's Soft Skill. Coupled with the fact that the Charm effect hadn't faded, he could only be handled like a tattered sack.
