One Against Six

Yu Tianheng felt instantly offended. "Then who exactly are you?"

"Allow me to reintroduce myself."

Tuoba Xuan straightened his collar and spoke solemnly:

"My real name is Tuoba Xuan. Senior Dugu Yan can verify this for me."

Dugu Yan clearly had not expected to be brought into this, but once she realized what was happening, she nodded immediately.

"I'll speak for him. His name is Tuoba Xuan; he is the grandson of the Sacred Dragon Douluo and a benefactor to my Dugu Family."

Dugu Yan valued loyalty deeply; she assumed Tuoba Xuan had mentioned her so she would speak on his behalf.

"A benefactor?"

Yu Tianheng was visibly stunned. He forcibly suppressed the resentment in his heart; since his own girlfriend had spoken up, it would be inappropriate for him to continue questioning the matter.

The others also looked at Tuoba Xuan with curiosity.

"I know that you all have complaints about me joining the Imperial Fighting Team."

"But what I want to say is that I will only take action during the semi-finals. As long as you can hold out until the final four, I guarantee that you will win the championship of this Spirit Master Tournament."

Except for Dugu Yan, the others were all filled with skepticism.

They knew that Tuoba Xi had advanced to become a Title Douluo, but the news of Tuoba Xuan kidnapping Hu Liena had been suppressed by the Spirit Hall.

Are you kidding? She was the dignified Saintess of the Spirit Hall; if such information were to spread, it would be an insult to the majesty of the Spirit Hall.

"Tuoba Xuan, I know you are very strong, but you must realize that the Spirit Hall Team this year has three Spirit Kings," Yu Tianheng said, frowning.

Tuoba Xuan nodded. "I know. When the time comes, leave the three Spirit Kings of the Spirit Hall to me, and the rest will be up to you."

The corners of Yu Tianheng's mouth twitched. One had to remember that only a few months ago, Tuoba Xuan was merely a level 38 Spirit Venerable.

Even if he had broken through to become a Spirit Ancestor now, how could he possibly contend with three Spirit Kings?

"I know you don't believe me, which is why I chose the Soul Fighting Arena as the place for our meeting."

Tuoba Xuan finally revealed his true purpose.

"I intend to use my strength to show you whether or not I am just boasting."

The members of the Imperial Fighting Team exchanged glances, and Yu Tianheng's face was suddenly filled with fighting spirit. "Fine. I am currently a level 42 Spirit Ancestor; I will be the one to fight you."

Because the members of the Imperial Fighting Team did not yet know about the evolution of Dugu Yan's martial soul, they still considered Yu Tianheng to be the strongest among them.

Tuoba Xuan shook his head and slowly held up one finger.

"No need. I'll take on all seven of you at once."

"Hahaha!" Yu Tianheng felt instantly insulted.

"Are you saying that you want to fight all seven of us by yourself?"

"Tuoba Xuan, you are indeed strong, but aren't you being too arrogant?"

Dugu Yan's eyes narrowed. She knew the extent of Tuoba Xuan's strength and didn't want them to be beaten too miserably.

Moreover, Tuoba Xuan had been a benefactor to her; she truly could not bring herself to attack him.

Therefore, Dugu Yan immediately announced her withdrawal.

"You all go ahead and fight; I'm sitting this one out."

Tuoba Xuan nodded in agreement.

"Now, one against six will suffice, won't it?"

"Fine. You will pay the price for your arrogance."

Yu Tianheng shouted this through gritted teeth.

In the blink of an eye, only seven people remained on the Soul Fighting Arena.

Tuoba Xuan stood casually to one side.

The members of the Imperial Fighting Team were rubbing their hands and warming up.

"Yu Tianheng, Martial Soul Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, level 42 Assault System Battle Spirit Ancestor."

"Ye Lengleng, Martial Soul Nine Hearts Begonia, level 39 Support System Tool Spirit Venerable."

"Shi Mo..."

The members of the Imperial Fighting Team announced their spirit power and martial souls in turn.

Tuoba Xuan loosened his shoulders slightly.

"Very well. Let me open your eyes."

As his words fell, a mountain-like pressure crashed down.

The spirit power on Tuoba Xuan's body was climbing steadily.

"Tuoba Xuan, Martial Soul Mountain Dragon King, level 49 Defense System Battle Spirit Ancestor."

"4...49th rank?"

Yu Tianheng's face was full of astonishment.

"How is this possible? Weren't you only at the 38th rank before?"

Tuoba Xuan waved his hand. "Sigh, brother, my luck has been a bit good lately."

Tuoba Xuan's words immediately left the members of the Imperial Fighting Team speechless.

Even their team leader, Zhang Lian, who stood to the side, wore an expression of utter disbelief.

He had originally assumed that Tuoba Xuan's strength was at most on par with Yu Tianheng's.

He never expected that Tuoba Xuan's spirit power level would actually reach the 49th rank.

That's right, Tuoba Xuan had broken through again.

As for why, one could only say that he was beaming with joy, breaking through in a single night.

Last night, Tuoba Xuan had met Shui Bing'er, whom he had been waiting for a long time, at the Tianshui Academy hotel.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, so naturally, they had a lot to talk about.

...Well, it was too cold outside, so they went back to bed to talk...

And so, Tuoba Xuan broke through again; he even felt that he had vaguely touched the bottleneck of the 50th rank.

"Since you won't make the first move, then I will."

Tuoba Xuan let out a low shout.

"First spirit skill, Ten Thousand Jun Tremor."

Beneath Tuoba Xuan, only one purple and one black spirit ring floated silently.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

Yu Tianheng and the others instantly felt their legs go weak, and the ground beneath them collapsed before they even realized it.

They tried to straighten their bodies, but they felt an irresistible pressure pinning them down firmly.

"Not good, it's a gravity spirit skill! Yu Feng!"

Lightning snakes coiled around Yu Tianheng's body, yet they had no effect whatsoever.

Yu Feng's spirit was a wind-type spirit, so he could only pin his hopes on Yu Feng, attempting to have him interrupt Tuoba Xuan's spirit skill.

But how could Tuoba Xuan let them have their way?

He wanted absolute suppression.

"Gravity increase!"

Tuoba Xuan clenched his fists, and that irresistible gravitational pressure grew even stronger.

"Ah!" Yu Feng let out a miserable cry. He was under the heaviest pressure, and now even releasing his spirit had become a problem.

A drop of cold sweat trickled from the corner of Yu Tianheng's eye.

He knew that as the captain, he had to step up now.

Therefore, without a second thought, the four spirit rings beneath Yu Tianheng flared with light simultaneously.

"First spirit skill, Thunder Dragon Claw."

"Second spirit skill, Thunder Fury."

"Third spirit skill, Thunder Ten Thousand Jun!"

"Fourth spirit skill, Thunder Dragon Head!"

Yu Tianheng unleashed all of his spirit skills in an instant.

For a moment, the sound of thunder crackled and popped.

Yu Tianheng was covered in lightning, and his body miraculously straightened up.

He resisted Tuoba Xuan's gravitational pressure with all his might for the sake of his companions.

"I have to say, you are indeed a decent captain, but you are simply too weak."

Tuoba Xuan didn't intend to drag this out any longer; his woman was still waiting outside for him to take her home to meet his parents.

"Heart of the Mountain Dragon skill—Might of the Dragon King."

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A heaven-shaking dragon roar exploded from behind Tuoba Xuan.

This terrifying dragon might made one's soul tremble from the very depths.

The lightning on Yu Tianheng's body seemed to have encountered something terrifying, instantly shriveling away.

"Third spirit skill, Dark Demon Evil God Rend!"

The Dragon Tiger Hook emerged, and a purple light flashed by.

What followed were the continuous, rising screams and wails of the Imperial Fighting Team members.

When the dust settled, the six members of the Imperial Fighting Team were all lying limp on the ground.
