Swapping Concepts

After Chai Jiazhe recovered, he glanced at Bu Liu and Bu Qi in the Nuoding Team and couldn't help but shudder. He said, "Those two guys are very strange. They almost made me lose control of my Soul Power and nearly died from exhaustion!"

"It wasn't a close call."

Lu Yixin touched his healed wound and said Youyou, "If it weren't for the rules of the competition that prohibit killing, you would be dead already! It seems there's something wrong with our mission system... The treatment process usually doesn't take this long."

"Captain, what should we do now?"

Yuan En Xing Tian glanced at Zhou Qing in the distance, and seeing that he was also looking at her and even waving with a smile, she immediately turned her head, her body trembling involuntarily. "That Zhou Qing is extremely powerful. Even after I Martial Soul Possession, he grabbed my throat with one move, and I had no power to resist at all! The oppressive feeling he exerted was no less than that of Soul Douluo! It might even be close to the level of Titled Douluo!"

Li Jiangqi also said, "This Xiao Wu with double braids is very strong, much stronger than the Xiao Wu with Golden Main Quest."

And then there's Wang Sheng. Although his strength is somewhat lacking, he's incredibly durable and possesses a Self-Created Soul Skill with astonishing defensive capabilities. He can even deflect my force, and while deflecting my force, he can also unleash a peculiar energy on me, making my body quite uncomfortable...

To break through its defenses, I must run and gather my strength, but although the opponent is burly, he is also quite agile, and there's also Xiao Wu interfering...

Zhang Hengrui and the other two remained silent, since neither of them had shown any outstanding performance on the field.

Although Huo Zhanji voluntarily conceded defeat, he preserved the dignity of the Blue Silver Team's captain.

But it was obvious to everyone that if none of the members of the Nuoding Team could fly, Huo Zhanji, even with the additional skills from the Douluo World, would have been completely helpless against Zhou Qing.

After all, in terms of endurance, even with the Heavenly Demon Art, Huo Zhanji would find it difficult to fight Protracted War against seven people.

Is the mission going to fail?

A depressed mood permeated the entire team.

Fortunately, Huo Zhanji clapped his hands to attract their attention and said, "Don't forget, we have three months, and our mission is not to win the championship of this year's Continental Elite Tournament, but to kill Zhou Qing, Wang Sheng, and Romantina."

In an instant, the six people realized what was happening.

Yes!

Their mission targets were Zhou Qing, Wang Sheng, and Romantina from the Nuoding Team. All they needed to do was kill them. There was no requirement for a fair fight, so any method could be used.

If you can't beat them head-on, can't you at least resort to underhanded tactics?

Why bother with fairness and morality when dealing with "Transmigrator" who disrupt the historical processes of Parallel Time and Space? Naturally, we'll just use whatever method works best.

As long as we can wipe them out!

Although they lost the team battle, it didn't matter. After all, winning wasn't the goal. The most important thing was to test the strength of the Nuoding Team through this competition.

Only in this way can we treat the symptoms effectively!

As a result of Huo Zhanji's persuasive, albeit somewhat illogical, guidance, the entire Blue Silver Team regained their confidence and the pride of being Shrek Academy students, their faces beaming with self-assurance.

"Are they on steroids?"

Seeing Huo Zhanji and the others go from dejected to confident, Xiao Wu was completely bewildered. "You lost so badly, what's there to be happy about?"

"It's just self-deception."

Tang San scoffed, glancing at Bibi Dong in the VIP section, pondering whether he should find an opportunity to go to the Spirit Hall Team's residence tonight and interrogate Huo Zhanji about the origin of the Mysterious Heaven Skill he cultivated.

Seeing Tang San's bitter and resentful expression, Zhou Qing knew exactly what he was thinking, so he teased him again, "I know you're curious about how that guy mastered the skills of our village's Soul Saint, but maybe that's just his good fortune?"

Tang San wanted to slap himself again—what was he thinking, spouting nonsense about gods and ghosts? Now look what happened! In Qing Ge's eyes, the Mysterious Heaven Skill was a technique created by a capable hermit from the Douluo Continent!

"Alright, enough joking. Look closely, the Mysterious Heaven Skill that the other party cultivates seems a bit different from yours. It's used rather rigidly, and he doesn't seem to understand the theory of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, nor does he know the function of the major acupoints in the body. He only knows how to cultivate by moving Soul Power step by step." Zhou Qing added, "I guess he got an incomplete copy."

Tang San rolled his eyes.

He naturally noticed this as well.

What do you mean by "fragmented scroll"?

However, Huo Zhanji only mastered the cultivation method; his understanding of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, the Twelve Primary Meridians, and the acupoints throughout the body was likely close to zero...

This situation is closer to his previous conjecture: the Deity behind Huo Zhanji had imprinted his cultivation path and directly taught it to Huo Zhanji, which resulted in Huo Zhanji being able to cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Skill, use the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and the Purple Demon Eye, but only to the extent that he could cultivate and use them. However, he was completely ignorant of the true basic knowledge in the cultivation techniques, having mastered nine out of ten.

"There's no need to deliberately cause them trouble." Seeing that Tang San's expression had relaxed a lot, Zhou Qing got down to business. "Don't forget, they went all out against us on the field. I guess their purpose in replacing the original seven members of the Spirit Hall Team was us. The reason is unknown, but we can wait for them to come to us."

Tang San immediately understood.

Even if we don't take any action, the other party will come knocking on our door.

Just wait and see!

More importantly, if they went to investigate at night and were discovered by the Spirit Hall, it would be difficult to clear their name afterward; but if the other party came to cause trouble for them, it would be reasonable for them to fight back and kill them.

I wonder if these guys can come back to life?

Tang San had made up his mind that if these people dared to come, he would use the King Yama's Post —so what if Second-Generation Deity? They'd still have to face the King of Hell even if they died!

"Zhou Qing, Tang San, you two are really amazing! You actually defeated the Spirit Hall's team!"

Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan from the Imperial Fighting Team Two walked over. It was Dugu Yan who spoke, while Yu Tianheng maintained his aloof expression.

It's not that Yu Tianheng looks down on the Nuoding Team, but he just has a poker face... Of course, that doesn't affect his handsomeness.

"You should call us Uncle." Zhou Qing put his hands on his hips, stood tall and straightened his chest, and seriously corrected Dugu Yan, while sighing, "Kids these days really have no manners, daring to call Uncle by his name... Don't you think so, Tang San?"

"Don't take me with you, thank you."

Tang San's lips twitched. He dared not put on any airs of an elder in front of Dugu Yan. They and Dugu Bo were on separate levels.

However, considering his age and his previous life, Tang San did feel that he could be Dugu Yan's elder.

"You bastard..."

Dugu Yan gritted her teeth, but considering the relationship between these two and her grandfather, and the kindness they had shown them, she held back. "We won't stoop to your level. We came to ask you if the Spirit Hall Team has really changed its roster?"

According to the information obtained by the Imperial Fighting Team Two, the seven members of the Spirit Hall Team were Huo Zhanji and his group. However, the skills displayed by these people were a bit strange, such as the white protective light shield and the healing skills after the match, which surprised them quite a bit.

Therefore, they suspected that the seven members of the Spirit Hall Team were indeed problematic, so they came to inquire.

"I was out of my mind at the time, don't worry about it." Zhou Qing didn't want to involve Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan in this matter. "Besides, they have already lost to us, and they won't face any other team again."
