Among those present, the only ones who believed Wu Xing could do it were Su Ruoxi, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling.
"Mentor Yu Feng, I'm not joking." Wu Xing replied, then looked at Yu Tianheng and the others. "Same as before. Come at me together. Don't waste everyone's time."
Yu Feng was furious at Wu Xing's words and was about to try persuading him again when the three women beside him spoke up. "Mentor Yu Feng, trust Wu Xing. He can handle it."
Hearing the three women's words, Yu Feng opened his mouth but could not say a word for a long while. What kind of love potion had this kid fed them? Not only had they fallen for him, but they trusted him this much.
Yu Tianheng and the others had originally scoffed at Wu Xing's arrogance, but the three women's words were like a fuse that instantly ignited the powder keg.
They had come here for Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling. Yet these two former teammates actually thought highly of him instead of them, even believing he could take on all five of them alone. No man could accept that.
"Since he's so arrogant, we can't let him look down on us. Everyone, summon your Martial Souls and attack together!" Yu Tianheng had been somewhat uncertain at first, but since the other party wanted to show off, he would grant his wish.
Hearing their captain's command, the four team members no longer cared about winning unfairly and summoned their Martial Souls one after another.
This battle was not only for face, but for their own dignity. They absolutely could not lose!
"Now that's more like it." Seeing all five of them summon their Martial Souls, Wu Xing mobilized his Soul Power. Three dazzling Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings rose beneath his feet.
No matter when they appeared, such world-shattering Soul Rings always left people astonished. No matter how many times one saw them, they would still shock Soul Masters.
"I'm coming."
Wu Xing spoke softly, then stomped forward. His entire body turned into an afterimage as he charged toward Yu Tianheng at the front.
Seeing Wu Xing rushing toward them, Shi Mo and Shi Mo, the two Shi brothers, did not need their captain's orders. They immediately unleashed their soul skills, and two enormous Turtle Shells spun toward the attacking Wu Xing in a double-helix formation.
Although they did not understand why a control-type Soul Master would want to engage in close combat, they were cautious. Before figuring out his intentions, they would never let him get what he wanted.
This was the tacit understanding their team had always maintained. Their two years of training had not been for show.
Watching the massive Turtle Shells whirl toward him, Wu Xing's lips curved slightly. His figure flickered, and in the next second, he had passed through the shells and reached the front.
"What?!" Seeing Wu Xing flicker through their defensive line, the Shi brothers' pupils shrank. They hurriedly controlled their Soul Power, changing the Turtle Shells' direction and sending them after him.
But Wu Xing was too fast. The two Turtle Shells could not keep up, and he had already arrived before Yu Tianheng.
As Yu Tianheng watched Wu Xing appear before him, he was startled by his speed. His first Soul Ring flashed brightly, and the Thunderclap Dragon Claw he had condensed struck out.
The Thunderclap Dragon Claw hit Wu Xing's body, yet Yu Tianheng felt no impact at all. His expression changed.
"It's an afterimage!" The Thunderclap Dragon Claw passed through Wu Xing's body. Like transparent, warped space, it distorted a few times before vanishing in the next instant.
As Yu Tianheng watched Wu Xing disappear and tried to locate him, a voice came from behind him, making every hair on his body stand on end.
"First one, eliminated!"
Wu Xing's palm erupted with a thunderous boom. Before Yu Tianheng could defend himself, he felt an immense force slam into his back. He was sent flying and crashed heavily onto the ground.
"Captain!" The First Team Members who saw this all cried out. Wasn't this guy a control-type Soul Master? How was he even faster than an agility-attack-type Soul Master?
And where was his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul? He had not used it from beginning to end. He had defeated their captain entirely through his physical abilities.
Wu Xing paid no attention to their cries. In the next second, he vanished and appeared before the Shi brothers.
Shi Mo and Shi Mo, the two brothers, saw Wu Xing appear in front of them and did not hesitate in the slightest. They immediately withdrew into the Turtle Shells covering their bodies, hoping to use their tough shells to block Wu Xing's attack.
But while the idea was beautiful, reality was cruel. Under Wu Xing's punch, the Turtle Shells they took such pride in gave a crisp crack, and fractures spread across them like spiderwebs.
Bang!
The Turtle Shells shattered. His solid fists slammed into the Shi brothers, and like Yu Tianheng, the two were sent flying like kites with broken strings.
"Second and third, eliminated."
Wu Xing spoke softly again.
"How is this possible?!" The remaining two First Team Members' eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
In just a few moments, three people on their side had already lost the ability to fight.
That alone would have been one thing, but he was clearly a control-type Soul Master. Why was he faster than agility-attack types and stronger than assault types?
"Your turn!" Wu Xing stared at the remaining two with a smile on his lips.
When they saw Wu Xing looking at them, both were terrified. Osler instinctively took a step back, while Yu Feng, who possessed the Phoenix Bell Bird, spread his Martial Soul wings and flew into the sky.
But Wu Xing did not care about their actions. As a unified Hexagonal Combat Method fighter, he transformed into a Slaughter God and appeared before Osler, dispatching him in the same manner.
Then, amid everyone's stunned stares, he flew into the sky and smashed Yu Feng heavily into the ground.
In less than a minute, all five First Team Members had suffered a crushing defeat without even the strength to fight back!
"Hiss..."
Watching the battle end in the blink of an eye, everyone only snapped back to their senses after a long while, drawing sharp breaths one after another.
They were shocked that the battle had ended so quickly. They were astounded that Wu Xing had truly defeated five opponents alone. More than that, they were horrified at how swiftly he had taken down Yu Tianheng and the others.
In truth, Wu Xing had defeated the five so quickly because of his Martial Souls. In that brief period, he had used several Martial Souls.
His switching speed had been too fast. Before one Martial Soul could even appear, he had already switched to the next, so no one noticed the reason.
They only thought he had defeated Yu Tianheng and the others through his physical abilities.
There was another reason as well. Wu Xing had used the fastest agility-attack Martial Souls and the strongest attack Martial Souls in the Douluo World. Empowered by Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings, they gave him astonishing speed and strength.
The explosive boom when he attacked Yu Tianheng had actually come from the same Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul as Yu Tianheng's.
Otherwise, why would Wu Xing be called a Hexagonal Combat Method warrior who was proficient in everything?
Great Ideals
"Cough, cough." Yu Tianheng and the others struggled to rise from the ground, clutching their chests as their organs still churned. They looked at Wu Xing with complicated expressions.
The remaining team members also supported each other, deep wariness filling their eyes.
They finally understood why Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had chosen to join the Second Team. They also understood why he had captivated the two women so completely that they had expressed their intentions to the Teaching Committee and even had Elder Dugu step forward.
"You're very strong. We'll honor the bet and won't come looking for you again." Yu Tianheng spoke in a low voice. There was no unwillingness in his tone, only admiration.
The other party's strength had far exceeded his imagination. Among all the peers he had ever fought, Wu Xing was the strongest Soul Master he had encountered. The enormous gap made him feel deeply powerless.
They were simply not on the same level. Even the rumored Spirit Hall Golden Generation might not be comparable to him.
Seeing Yu Tianheng's sincere attitude, Wu Xing smiled. "You guys aren't bad either."
"You don't need to comfort us. We're not that fragile."
Hearing Wu Xing's response, Yu Tianheng gave a bitter smile and shook his head. Then he asked, "May I ask you something?"
"Go ahead." Wu Xing answered generously.
"Why didn't you join our First Team? Why did you stay in the Second Team?" Yu Tianheng stared blankly at Wu Xing, wanting to understand the reason.
The Teaching Committee had originally arranged for Wu Xing to join their First Team, but he had ultimately refused. Yu Tianheng only wanted an answer now. Otherwise, it might become a heart demon for him in the future.
Wu Xing had not expected Yu Tianheng to ask such a question. After a moment of surprise, he answered calmly, "Because the Second Team won't qualify directly. The strong walk forward step by step and disdain taking shortcuts."
Naturally, he was talking nonsense. His true purpose was to crush Tang San and prevent him from showing off.
But to Yu Tianheng and the others, those words were incomparably shocking and incomparably noble.
At the same time, Yu Tianheng felt relieved. At least Wu Xing had not refused to join them because he looked down on them.
"I've learned much." Yu Tianheng cupped his hands, then led his team members away.
Thus, the matter came to a temporary end.
At the same time, the Second Team Members also recovered from their shock. The way they looked at Wu Xing was filled with worship.
So Brother Wu was this powerful. With a wave of his hand, he could crush so many First Team Members.
No wonder the two goddesses had pursued Brother Wu. It was not merely because of his extraordinary charm, but because that charm was backed by immense strength.
After Mentor Yu Feng came back to his senses, his eyes were full of delight as he looked at Wu Xing. Good kid! This fellow had given him another enormous surprise. With him in the Second Team, why would he need to worry about promotions, raises, marrying a beautiful and wealthy female mentor, and reaching the pinnacle of life?
The more Yu Feng looked at Wu Xing, the happier he became, and the more grateful he was that he had made the right decision to invite him in Sunset Forest.
Suppressing his excitement, Yu Feng patted Wu Xing on the shoulder. "Wu Xing, you performed very well."
"You flatter me, Mentor." Wu Xing replied calmly.
Yu Feng was extremely satisfied to see that Wu Xing showed no pride at all. Then he addressed everyone. "This morning's class was originally supposed to be Simulated Training, but Wu Xing likely consumed quite a bit of Soul Power during his spar with the First Team. We won't go for now. Free time."
"Of course, that doesn't mean you can slack off in your cultivation. All right, dismissed."
Everyone answered in agreement. They were clever enough to leave one after another, unwilling to act as third wheels.
Once the team disbanded and everyone had left, only Wu Xing and the three women remained in the field.
"Hehe, Sister Yanyan, little sister Ling Ling, welcome aboard." Su Ruoxi grinned playfully at the two women.
By "welcome aboard," she meant not only joining the Second Team, but also joining the big family she shared with Wu Xing.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling naturally understood what Su Ruoxi meant. Their faces flushed slightly as they shyly stole glances at Wu Xing.
Seeing that the two women who had boldly confessed to him before all the students and mentors were now acting shy, Wu Xing found it amusing. He grabbed their delicate hands and headed toward the dormitories.
Don't misunderstand. Wu Xing was not that impatient. He simply did not want to stay outside. Yes, that was all.
When the two women saw their hands being held, their faces reddened again. Still, neither struggled, allowing him to lead them.
When they returned to the dormitory—Wu Xing's own room—Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling blushed even more deeply. They could practically hear their hearts pounding wildly.
"You don't really think I brought you here to do something to you, do you?" Wu Xing asked with amusement after noticing this.
"Isn't... isn't that the case?" A flicker of surprise crossed Dugu Yan's flushed, exquisite face.
The team had only just disbanded, and he had immediately taken her and Ling Ling by the hand to the dormitory. Anyone would overthink it.
Hearing that, Wu Xing rolled his eyes at Dugu Yan. "Is that the kind of man you think I am?"
"Mm." Dugu Yan answered quietly.
Wu Xing nearly died of anger. He seriously doubted whether accepting her confession had been the right decision. She had no sense of romance whatsoever. Compared to Su Ruoxi, she was lacking by more than a little.
"If you think that way, wouldn't it be letting down your praise if I didn't make a move?" A mischievous smile appeared on Wu Xing's face as he pretended he was about to act.
Seeing Wu Xing's ill-intentioned expression, Dugu Yan demonstrated what a fair-weather sister was. She grabbed Ye Lingling and shoved her in front of Wu Xing. "Y-you should be good with Ling Ling first."
Wu Xing looked at Dugu Yan's actions with amusement, but his hand did not slow down at all. He wrapped an arm around Ye Lingling's waist and pulled her onto his lap.
Ye Lingling had never expected Dugu Yan to do this. The two of you were the ones fooling around—what did it have to do with me? Why was I the one getting dragged into this?
Breathing in Wu Xing's unique masculine scent, Ye Lingling's ethereal, pretty face had already turned uncontrollably hot, and her heart hammered wildly.
Feeling the beauty in his arms trying hard to maintain her usual image, Wu Xing reached out and gently lifted her chin, making her look at him.
Ye Lingling blushed, her gaze darting away as she never dared meet Wu Xing's eyes.
Although she had acted boldly before, she was ultimately a girl who had never dated. How could she compare to Wu Xing, an old scumbag—no, an experienced driver—who dared to make a move right in front of Su Ruoxi and Dugu Yan?
Just as Ye Lingling was overwhelmed with nervousness, Wu Xing's voice reached her.
"You're so shy you don't even dare look at your man. How will you compete with those women in the future?"
Wu Xing smiled at Ye Lingling before him and teased her. A faint fragrance wafted from her body, as intoxicating as begonia blossoms.
Hearing Wu Xing's teasing, Ye Lingling's face grew even hotter. If he had not been holding up her chin, she would probably have buried her head in her chest.
"I... I won't compete with them." Ye Lingling replied, forcing herself to suppress her embarrassment.
Her voice was so soft that one would not even understand her without listening carefully.
Hearing the meaning in Ye Lingling's words, Wu Xing smiled faintly. He lowered his head and took a light sniff of her silky silver hair before saying, "I won't let that happen either."
He intended to be like those transmigrator seniors and handsome readers, a man surrounded by beauties from all under heaven. How could he allow trouble to arise in his own backyard?
You're Pressing Against Me
Dugu Yan watched Wu Xing and Ye Lingling acting intimately, her lips pouting slightly. Though she had been the one to push Ling Ling toward him, seeing them all lovey-dovey somehow made her feel jealous. She regretted it a little. She wanted that too.
Su Ruoxi merely watched with a smile, without the slightest jealousy. Only she understood just how terrifying her man truly was.
She had long wanted to find some sisters to help share the burden. It seemed she could finally get a good day's rest today.
It could not be helped. Wu Xing's physical abilities were simply too strong. Every time he tossed her around, it felt as though her body was about to fall apart.
Wu Xing had actually noticed this himself. It seemed that the people of the Douluo Continent were like the hydrogen people people talked about online before his transmigration, though not quite that exaggerated. Their constitutions were probably only several times stronger.
That was also why he could easily defeat Yu Tianheng and the others without using soul skills, relying only on the enhancements brought by his Martial Souls.
"Yo, what's wrong with our Yanyan? You seem a little unhappy. Who made you angry?" Wu Xing asked with a smile when he noticed Dugu Yan pouting and looking at him resentfully.
