Chapter 118 Lu Ming Makes His Move! The chat group is buzzing with discussion! The tournament champion?!
In her professional field, Hu Liena still trusts the Spirit Hall's judgment.
[I don't have a mother: Me too. Lu Ming may be skilled, but with those mediocre teammates, winning the championship is a pipe dream.]
Qian Renxue regained her composure and gave an objective evaluation.
Lu Ming looked at these questions and simply smiled calmly, offering no rebuttal.
Facts speak louder than words.
...
The next day.
Heavenly Dou City, Great Battle Arena.
Sunlight pierced through the morning mist, shining on the massive arena building and reflecting a dazzling light.
The stands were packed to capacity and filled with the lively chatter of the crowd.
As the biggest dark horse of this competition, Blue Tyrant Academy's every match has attracted much attention.
Even in his Blue Tyrant Academy uniform, Lu Ming's tall and slender figure and otherworldly aura were still undeniable.
He sat at the very front of the preparation area, resting with his eyes closed.
Beside her, Zhu Zhuqing was carefully wiping her hands, while Ning Rongrong looked around excitedly.
Just then, a fiery red figure, carrying a scorching aura, walked straight toward the rest area of Blue Tyrant Academy.
It was Huo Wu.
She looked radiant today, her long, dark red hair cascading down her back like a waterfall, and she exuded a powerful confidence as she walked.
What are you doing here?
Zhu Zhuqing noticed the other party's arrival immediately and stood up to block Lu Ming.
Those cold eyes stared warily at Huo Wu, her soul power surging subtly around her.
Huo Wu stopped in her tracks, her gaze passing over Zhu Zhuqing and landing directly on the boy who had closed his eyes to rest.
"Lu Ming".
She parted her red lips slightly, her voice clear and resonant.
"Today your opponents are from Shenfeng Academy. Although Feng Xiaotian, that sycophant, is annoying, he is not weak."
"I came here to tell you that I hope you can win this game."
At this point, Huo Wu narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, revealing a strong fighting spirit.
"Because you can only lose to me!"
Since she snatched that top-grade ten-thousand-year-old fire attribute soul bone from that red envelope last night and absorbed it overnight, her soul power not only broke through the bottleneck, but also caused a qualitative leap in her Naruto martial soul.
She is now brimming with confidence.
Ning Rongrong peeked her head out from behind Lu Ming, curled her lip, and said disdainfully:
"Fire Dance, have you forgotten how you lost to us a few days ago? You're just a defeated opponent, where do you get the audacity to spout such nonsense here?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Wu was not angry at all; instead, she revealed a meaningful smile.
That smile carried a hint of arrogance and a touch of disdain.
"A defeated opponent?"
"That's because I didn't have that ability before."
She raised her right arm, and a faint red light flowed beneath her skin—the confidence brought by her ten-thousand-year-old soul bone.
"Ning Rongrong, a support-type Soul Master like you will never understand."
"Next time, the qualifying rounds."
Huo Wu raised a finger, staring intently at Lu Ming, and said, word by word:
"I'm going to take on seven opponents at once!"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding air seemed to freeze for a moment.
The qualifying rounds are individual battles, and the challenge is to defeat seven opponents single-handedly, meaning she has to take on all seven members of Blue Tyrant Academy!
This is not only a display of confidence in their strength, but also a blatant insult to Blue Tyrant Academy.
"I'm so angry!"
Ning Rongrong laughed in exasperation, her little face turning bright red.
"Arrogant! Utterly arrogant! I think you're still half asleep!"
Zhu Zhuqing also looked at her coldly, her voice like ice beads falling to the ground:
"Fire Dance, have you forgotten how pathetic you looked a few days ago? If the captain hadn't shown mercy, you would have been seriously injured and forced to withdraw from the competition long ago."
Huo Wu remained unmoved by the two women's mockery.
She completely ignored Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong. In her eyes, although the two were excellent, they were not enough to be her rivals.
She has only one goal.
That's Lu Ming.
"Lu Ming, I know you are very strong, and you are also hiding your trump cards."
Huo Wu stepped forward, her beautiful face close to Lu Ming's, her eyes flashing with a wild light.
"But now I'm completely transformed."
"I hope you won't wet your pants in fear when you see me, Fire Dance, in the ring next time!"
After saying this highly provocative sentence, Huo Wu gracefully tossed her long hair, turned around and left, leaving only a red silhouette behind.
After absorbing that soul bone, her strength increased by leaps and bounds. She was now confident that she could fight even a Soul King-level expert.
That mere Blue Silver Grass, I'll burn it to ashes next time!
Lu Ming slowly opened his eyes, looking in the direction Huo Wu had left, but he was not angered by her provocation.
On the contrary, he found it somewhat amusing.
This woman is using a soul bone that he gave her, and now she's using his things to threaten him?
What's this?
To use his spear against his shield?
"Captain! This woman is too arrogant!"
Ning Rongrong stomped her foot angrily.
"Next time I see her, I'm going to teach her a lesson! I'll beat her face until it's swollen!"
Lu Ming stood up, straightened his collar, and said calmly:
"No need to wait until next time."
"Let's deal with today's opponent first."
At this moment, the host's voice came over the loudspeaker, signaling the Blue Tyrant Academy team and the Divine Wind Academy team to enter the arena.
"Let's go."
Lu Ming waved his hand and took the lead in walking towards the passage to the Soul Arena.
"A bunch of bird-men who can only fly, how dare they block our way?"
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong exchanged a glance and immediately followed.
Behind them, Tailong, Huang Yuan, and several other team members were also eager to fight and full of fighting spirit.
Since the captain has said so, then the Divine Wind Academy is destined to fall here today!
The atmosphere on the stage was as tense as a bowstring.
The two undefeated teams stood on opposite sides, their invisible fighting spirit clashing in the air.
The host, holding a megaphone, announced in a loud voice: "Both teams, prepare! On one side is Blue Tyrant Academy, the biggest dark horse of this competition, and on the other is the veteran powerhouse Divine Wind Academy. Who will continue their winning streak? Let's wait and see!"
Feng Xiaotian stared intently at Lu Ming opposite him, his eyes burning with two flames.
He must win for Huo Wu's sake.
"Lu Ming, I know you are very strong."
Feng Xiaotian took a deep breath, his blue team uniform fluttering in the breeze.
"But Huo Wu belongs to me. I will defeat you here fair and square and prove to her who is the most suitable man for her."
Lu Ming dusted off non-existent dust from his sleeves, his expression calm.
"I have no interest in Fire Dance."
He raised his eyelids and glanced at Feng Xiaotian's tense face.
"However, you can't win this game."
This nonchalant attitude is more cutting than any sarcasm.
Feng Xiaotian's temples bulged with veins, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
"Arrogant!"
"Then you'll have to ask my Gale Two-Headed Wolf if it agrees!"
Lu Ming ignored his impotent rage, turned his head slightly, and looked at the two women behind him.
"Zhuqing, you protect Rongrong, leave the rest to me."
