"If this is all you've got, you might as well come at me together!"
Shadow Moon's indifferent words sounded like something else entirely to the Heaven Dou Royal Battle Team.
After all, they really were weak in Shadow Moon's eyes, and he had never truly intended to join this team. He had other motives.
Yet Shadow Moon's calm tone enraged the others.
"Tianheng! Tianheng!"
The moment Yu Tianheng was defeated, Dugu Yan was the first to rush over and embrace him. But Yu Tianheng had been knocked unconscious by Shadow Moon's attack.
Yu Tianheng truly was a prodigy among those of his level. In ordinary battles, he always crushed his opponents. Even when the Heaven Dou Royal Battle Team lost against the Shrek Seven Devils in the original story, Yu Tianheng himself had not lost in an individual match.
Dugu Yan rarely saw Yu Tianheng injured, so seeing Tian Yuheng unconscious now naturally filled her with panic.
"Right, right, Lingling! Quickly, use your Martial Soul! Hurry!"
For a moment, Dugu Yan had even forgotten that her team had an incredibly powerful healer, so she hurriedly called for Ye Lingling.
Ye Lingling said nothing and directly summoned her Martial Soul.
Ye Lingling's Martial Soul was the Nine Heart Begonia, said to be capable of healing someone back to life as long as they still had a breath left. Even soul-chasing from the underworld would have to acknowledge its expertise.
Ye Lingling's Martial Soul was extraordinarily unique. At any given time, only two people could possess the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul: Ye Lingling and her mother. Forget about passing it down as a legacy—it was already fortunate for it to survive at all.
Even Ning Rongrong, that little devil girl who feared neither heaven nor earth, had personally admitted in the original story that if the Nine Heart Begonia could be mass-produced without limit, it would be the number one support Martial Soul on the Douluo Continent.
The Nine Heart Begonia was also an exceptionally rare Martial Soul on the Douluo Continent, fundamentally different from other support-type Soul Masters.
Most other support-type Martial Souls provided buffs of all kinds.
But the Nine Heart Begonia healed—ultimate healing. Just like how many people looked down on healers, yet when they truly encountered one, they would understand the importance of taking out the healer first when a team fight began.
The Nine Heart Begonia appeared in Ye Lingling's palm, while two yellow Soul Rings emerged behind her.
Another characteristic of the Nine Heart Begonia was that regardless of what Soul Beast its Soul Rings came from, its ability would always be the same: increasing its healing power.
In another sense, it could be considered a single-track path.
The Nine Heart Begonia in Ye Lingling's palm released a green healing light toward Tian Yuheng.
The increasingly brilliant green glow made Ye Lingling look like a fairy descended to save lives and the world.
Watching that immense vitality from the side, Shadow Moon narrowed his eyes slightly.
Possessing immense vitality was nothing special; both Shadow Moon and Minami Kotaro had it. But being able to grant vitality of this level to others was truly unheard of.
Under Ye Lingling's healing, Yu Tianheng's expression gradually relaxed. The bodily tissues damaged by the force Shadow Moon had sent into Yu Tianheng's body were also miraculously and gradually restored.
Seeing Yu Tianheng's complexion slowly improve, Dugu Yan knew that he was all right.
"Damn it!"
Seeing that Yu Tianheng was unharmed, Dugu Yan rose stiffly to her feet and glared viciously at Shadow Moon.
"If you want to fight, you'd better have all of you come together."
It was not as if Shadow Moon did not know how they felt about him, but if he wanted to put them in their place and establish his authority, there was no more suitable way.
"You said it. We can attack together!"
Dugu Yan looked into Shadow Moon's eyes, wanting to see something in them. But to her disappointment, his gaze was utterly unreadable.
"I said it. Your entire team can come at me together. Of course, if you want to wait until this guy wakes up and gather the whole team, that's fine too."
"Good, it's a deal! Ye Lingling, Shi Mo, Shi Mo, Osler, and Yu Feng, attack together! Let this guy see how powerful the Heaven Dou Team is!"
Dugu Yan was no fool. She knew that if she fought alone, she would have no chance of winning.
So even with Ye Lingling, their healer, joining her, it would not be enough. Shadow Moon's strength was obvious to all. Dugu Yan was a control-type Soul Master, while Ye Lingling was a support-type Soul Master; even Ye Lingling would not be enough.
The safest approach was for everyone except Yu Tianheng to attack together. Only then would they have a chance.
Dugu Yan also wanted to personally avenge Yu Tianheng, but she understood that she could not do it alone.
Besides, Shadow Moon had provoked the entire Heaven Dou Royal Battle Team, so this was the perfect opportunity for the team to teach him a lesson!
"Of course. You're more than welcome!"
Shadow Moon watched the six of them eagerly prepare themselves. Although the remaining six did not display their emotions as openly as Dugu Yan, Yu Tianheng was, after all, the captain of the Heaven Dou Royal Battle Team.
And since Shadow Moon had provoked the entire Heaven Dou Royal Battle Team, even a clay figurine had some temper. Naturally, the other six would join the fight.
On the arena stage—
On one side stood Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan, Osler, Yu Feng, Shi Mo, and Shi Mo of the Heaven Dou Royal Battle Team.
On the other side of the arena stood Shadow Moon alone.
"Now, the match begins!"
Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia, Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorous Serpent, Osler and Yu Feng's agility-type Ghost Leopard and Wind Bird, along with the Black Tortoise Turtles of the Shi Mo brothers.
For a moment, one side of the arena looked like a multicolored zoo, while on Shadow Moon's side—
"Hen Shin!"
Shadow Moon's deep voice rang out.
