Flender brushed Yu Xiaogang's hand aside without a care and burst into hearty laughter.
"Yu Xiaogang, what are you so anxious about? Do you know who the captain of the Hexagram Battle Team is?
"It's the Barak Kingdom prince Xue Tianxing I told you about!
"That kid became a Soul King at twelve and had never lost a single solo spirit battle. His nickname is Skywind. Even alone, the Mad Blade Battle Team might not be his match, let alone with a group of geniuses at his side!
"Which one of Shui Bing'er and Oscar isn't exceptionally gifted? With those six together, the Mad Blade Battle Team is just here to hand them a win!"
"Xue Tianxing?"
Yu Xiaogang's expression hardened, and his footsteps abruptly halted.
Although Flender had told him how monstrously talented Xue Tianxing was, he had always been half-convinced at best—in his eyes, Tang San's Twin Martial Souls represented the pinnacle of their generation.
Now that he heard Xue Tianxing was on the spirit battle stage, the curiosity in his heart was instantly ignited. He desperately wanted to see just how strong this "legendary" genius truly was.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, he said to the Shrek group,
"There's no rush for our spirit battle today. Let's go watch the match at Spirit Battle Arena Number Three first."
Before his words had even faded, he had already taken the lead toward Spirit Battle Arena Number Three, walking far faster than usual.
Seeing this, Flender hurried after him and called out with a laugh,
"Hey, Yu Xiaogang, have you finally come around? Once we win some money, I'll treat everyone to a feast!"
A trace of curiosity flashed through Tang San's eyes—Xue Tianxing?
