Zhu Zhuqing Was the Strongest Below Rongrong

Of the remaining five members of Shrek, everyone agrees that Tang San is the strongest and has the best overall strategic vision.

No matter what they say, they are not going to suddenly hand over command to someone else.

But is that really the case?

Zhu Zhuqing chuckled coldly, "Didn't you all notice that we've been fighting for so long, but it's like we're just tickling our opponents? It's completely ineffective."

Ultimately, the problem lies in the fact that the initial goal we chose to address was flawed.

"Instead of expending enormous Soul Power to deal with Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan first—regardless of the effectiveness—even if we could eliminate them, we wouldn't be able to win the final victory."

Are you kidding me?

Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan alone can hold off Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing, while Oscar is unable to deal damage.

The best possible outcome in the end would be Tang San fighting five against one.

Judging from Tang San's current strength, it is extremely difficult.

"So what you mean is?" Xiao Wu, somewhat puzzled. "But those two are the core members of the team. Even if we want to switch targets, we have to get past them."

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and continued, "No, you might need to get past Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan before switching your targets, but I don't need to. With my speed, I can directly threaten the others."

Rongrong told me that the first person the opposing team should take down is Ye Lingling, the Support System Soul Master right in the middle of their team.

Therefore, I think we should have Dai Mubai and Xiao Wu launch a feint attack to buy me time.

"Ning Rongrong? She didn't even participate in the competition, how would she know who to deal with first?" Dai Mubai glared at Zhu Zhuqing. "You keep calling her Rongrong this and Rongrong that, but she's not even here, how could she possibly help you? As for what she said, it was probably just something she said casually, I didn't expect you to take it seriously."

For a moment, the atmosphere among the five Shrek members was thick with tension.

First, it was about vying for command, and then it turned into several people being dissatisfied with Ning Rongrong.

If they weren't still in a match, they probably would have already started fighting amongst themselves.

Shrek Academy is such a disunited place...

On the other side, Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, the leaders of the Imperial Fighting Team, couldn't help but exchange a smile upon seeing this situation. "Teacher Qin said this team is very strong, does he mean they're strong at arguing?"

"Stop talking nonsense, send them all down first."

Yu Tianheng's icy gaze swept over the Shrek students. "It seems that some people's expulsion from the family is not entirely unjust; the students they mentored are just as incompetent."

After saying that, he pointed forward with both hands, and all seven members of the Imperial Fighting Team pressed forward.

Seeing that things were going badly, Tang San quickly released his control Soul Skill again in an attempt to limit the opponent's attack.

Unfortunately, Dai Mubai, who was standing at the very front of the line, was hit by Yu Tianheng's punch. He rolled several times on the ground and fell off the stage.

"Evil Eyed White Tiger Dai Mubai -- Eliminated."

But it wasn't over yet.

Dugu Yan also went straight for Xiao Wu.

"Waist Bow!"

Fortunately, Xiao Wu's body was flexible enough to barely avoid Dugu Yan's attack.

However, Dai Mubai's elimination was something that the Shrek Academy members found utterly unacceptable.

I was originally hoping he and Xiao Wu would take the lead, but now...

"Let's try it as you say." Tang San was on the verge of tears.

Nothing good ever happens whenever I hear Ning Rongrong's name.

With Dai Mubai gone, Tang San was forced to Dai Mubai's place and get entangled with Yu Tianheng.

Snap--

But the spot where he was standing suddenly became empty, and Oscar was left unprotected. He was immediately approached by two Defense System Soul Master from the Imperial Fighting Team, who each grabbed one of his arms and threw him down.

What the hell.

In a short time, only three of the five Shrek members remained.

They're utterly pathetic.

A smile crept across Yu Tianheng's lips as he approached Tang San and sneered, "I heard you're his student. Turns out your strength is nothing special."

Don't underestimate him!

Tang San was forced to retreat repeatedly when Yu Tianheng got close, as his abilities were no match for Tang San's. He was already at the edge of the arena.

Zhu Zhuqing finally moved at this moment.

"Netherworld Shadow Clone!"

Thud--

The Fourth Soul Ring beneath his feet lit up with a black light.

In an instant, more than a dozen identical clones appeared.

With the speed boost unique to the Nether Civet Martial Soul, it bypassed Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, and engaged in combat with the remaining three people behind them.

The speed was beyond everyone's imagination.

After all, it was Soul Skill attached to Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring. The sheer number of shadow clones—several clones against one—directly suppressed the remaining three, Suppression them to retreat.

"What? How can she be so fast?"

Yu Tianheng was shocked, and the strength in his hands that Suppression Tang San down weakened, allowing Tang San to break free.

But Tang San's face was also filled with shock.

This was the first time he had ever seen Zhu Zhuqing at full speed. For a moment, he didn't know if he was seeing things or what, because he couldn't see Zhu Zhuqing's true form clearly, leaving only countless afterimages.

"Hateful!"

Dugu Yan snorted coldly. Seeing that someone from her opponent's team had taken advantage of an opening, she wanted to return to defense, but Xiao Wu pulled her back forcefully. "Your opponent is me."

"Shi Mo, Shi Mo, you two go back to defend."

Yu Tianheng gave the order.

With himself facing Tang San and Dugu Yan facing Xiao Wu, and the Shi Mo Shi Mo brothers returning to defend, surely they could stop Zhu Zhuqing's attack?

Yu Tianheng thought so.

But that's not the case.

Even after the Shi Mo and Shi Mo brothers returned to defend, they couldn't keep up with Zhu Zhuqing's offensive speed.

They are not like Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan; their overall strength is far inferior.

"Hell Stab."

"Netherworld Hundred Claws."

Without the interference of Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing pushed her speed to the limit and unleashed two more Soul Skill, using shadow clones to directly repel Ye Lingling, the only Support System Soul Master in the Imperial Fighting Team.

At the same time, he clenched his right fist and delivered a powerful punch, instantly knocking Ye Lingling off the competition field.

This was something Yu Tianheng never expected.

"C, are you kidding me?"

After suddenly losing his Support System Soul Master, Yu Tianheng was furious.

Despite Zhu Zhuqing's formidable strength, she was feigning an attack on her own team just now.

He underestimated her strength.

Even though there was a brief moment just now when he could have helped the back row block Zhu Zhuqing's attack, he didn't do it.

They were simply targeting Tang San first.

But no one expected that Zhu Zhuqing's outburst in such a short time would be so terrifying.

She's the strongest in this team, not Tang San at all!

By the time Yu Tianheng realized what was happening, it was too late.

With Ye Lingling's elimination, the other two team members were also easily defeated and quickly sent off the stage.

Only the two brothers, Shi Mo Shi Mo, remained to face off against Zhu Zhuqing.

Then it was Dugu Yan facing off against Xiao Wu, and herself facing off against Tang San.

The team that initially had a two-man lead now only has a one-man advantage.

And...
