Yu Tianheng, Defeated in an Instant at the Start, Now I'll Control the Fight!

"Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Yu Tianheng, martial soul: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, assault-type Great Soul Master!"

Yu Tianheng was the first to step forward. Two yellow soul rings rose behind him as he fused with his martial soul. Lightning flickered around his body and began spreading outward.

"Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Shi Mo, martial soul: Black Tortoise Turtle, defense-type Great Soul Master!"

"Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Shi Mo, martial soul: Black Tortoise Turtle, defense-type Great Soul Master!"

The Shi Mo brothers stepped forward as well. Four yellow soul rings appeared behind them, while their Black Tortoise Turtle martial souls transformed into shields in their hands.

The two stood to Qin Qi's left and right, directly blocking the scorching heatwave.

"Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Ye Lingling, martial soul: Nine Heart Begonia, support-type Great Soul Master!"

Ye Lingling spoke up as well. Dugu Yan was her best friend, so of course she had to step forward to help at a time like this.

She had participated in the earlier battles too, but unfortunately, while her healing abilities were powerful, her teammates had all been useless.

"Lingling, Yu Tianheng, Shi Mo, Shi Mo."

Dugu Yan looked at the teammates standing beside her. She was slightly moved, and at the same time, a determination arose in her heart—they had to win this time!

"Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Dugu Yan, martial soul: Jade Phosphor Serpent, control-type Great Soul Master!"

Dugu Yan stared at Huo Wu, her aura surging to its peak.

"Little sis, this time is different!"

"Every one of them has a top-tier martial soul, and they're all Great Soul Masters."

"That Dugu Yan is genuinely furious."

Huo Wushuang stood beside his younger sister Huo Wu, his expression somewhat grave. He could tell that none of the people before him were simple.

This battle probably would not be as easy as the previous ones.

"Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Qin Qi, martial soul: Little Green Worm, support-type Great Soul Master."

Qin Qi held the Strength-Eating Immortal Gu in his palm, raised it up, and spoke.

"Humph!"

The Strength-Eating Immortal Gu sucked in its belly with all its might, then straightened itself up, struggling to strike a majestic pose.

But it had overestimated its stamina. Before long, it collapsed onto Qin Qi's hand in exhaustion.

"Gurgle, gurgle."

The Strength-Eating Immortal Gu's stomach began rumbling. It looked at Qin Qi with pitiful eyes.

"A fight is a fight, fooling around is fooling around, but you can't forget mealtime."

Qin Qi took out some food from his pocket and fed it directly to the Strength-Eating Immortal Gu, while also eating a little himself.

As his level had risen recently, the effect of his first soul ring had improved, and the Strength-Eating Immortal Gu's appetite had grown as well.

The energy from ordinary beef no longer seemed sufficient. Perhaps it would need to start eating soul beast meat later on.

"Big bro, you said these people would be troublesome?"

Huo Wu looked at the little bug in Qin Qi's hand and felt that her brother was being far too cautious.

What was there to fear from this bunch of clowns? She could take care of them easily.

"Little Green Worm martial soul? Hahahaha, Boss Wushuang, this guy is too funny."

The others from Blazing Fire Academy could not hold back any longer and started laughing. Who named their martial soul something so adorable?

And he was even a support-type. How was this little thing supposed to support anyone—by being cute enough to kill them?

"I... I really want to kick you to death!"

"Couldn't you have given your martial soul a more imposing name?"

"You've dragged down our side's momentum!"

Dugu Yan turned to Qin Qi. She first shot him a fierce glare, then her face filled with helplessness.

So cute.

Ye Lingling also looked at Qin Qi. She did not say anything, but she found the little bug incredibly adorable.

It was plump and chubby, yet it had tried so hard just now to look intimidating. It was simply too cute.

"Boss Qin Qi actually did it."

"But just like he said, he immediately drew everyone's attention."

"Even though they ended up underestimating us."

"Mm... this is a little embarrassing. Maybe when we go out with Boss Qin Qi in the future, we should cover our faces."

The Shi Mo brothers had thought Qin Qi was merely joking earlier, but they had not expected him to actually go through with it.

They now wanted to find something to cover their faces with, lest anyone recognize them.

"You should leave the team. Being with you is embarrassing."

Even Yu Tianheng could not take it anymore. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's prestige had been completely disgraced by him.

"Very funny, isn't it?"

Qin Qi laughed as well. Two purple soul rings rose behind him, and in an instant, everyone present froze.

"Wasn't it very funny? Why aren't you laughing now?"

"Since you're not laughing anymore, doesn't that mean it's my turn to laugh? Hahahaha!"

Looking at their stiff expressions, Qin Qi burst into laughter. Keep putting on an act—weren't they all so good at it?

Why weren't they laughing now?

Sure enough, that saying was right: smiles never disappear; they simply get transferred!

"A Great Soul Master with two thousand-year soul rings? How is that possible?!"

"This guy was pretending to be weak to fool us!"

"Stay calm, don't panic. Even if he has two purple soul rings, he's still only a Great Soul Master."

"Even if he's stronger, he can't be that much stronger. And don't forget, he's a support-type Soul Master."

"Even with two thousand-year soul rings, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

The expressions of everyone from Blazing Fire Academy immediately turned grave. They had never expected that this goofy bug-playing fellow would be the most terrifying one!

"Enough talk. Find a place and let's fight!"

Seeing the purple soul rings behind Qin Qi, Huo Wu could not help becoming anxious.

"Fine. There's an open area over there. Let's fight there!"

After speaking, Dugu Yan walked over to Qin Qi and patted him on the shoulder.

"Tell me next time you're going to put on an act. Otherwise, all of us will get fooled by you too."

Dugu Yan left after saying that, and Qin Qi's group followed along.

Before long, they arrived at an open plaza on the commercial street. Both sides took their positions and prepared to fight.

Thunder Dragon Claw!

Yu Tianheng was the first to charge out. The instant he moved, the battle erupted!

One-Horned Fireburst Dragon, possess!

Second Soul Skill: Tyrant Dragon's Fury!

"Ahhh!"

Huo Wushuang roared as the One-Horned Fireburst Dragon possessed him. Empowered by his second soul skill, he charged straight forward.

Flame Burst!

Huo Wu attacked as well. At that moment, all the other Soul Masters from Blazing Fire Academy focused their fire on Yu Tianheng.

Qin Qi's group froze for a moment before preparing to help, but they were already too late. Yu Tianheng was instantly defeated.

"Is there something wrong with your brain?!"

"Why the hell did you charge in by yourself? This is a team battle!"

"It's not a one-on-one duel! You were the one saying I was embarrassing—you're the most embarrassing one here!"

"You should just quit the team!"

Qin Qi was dumbfounded by Yu Tianheng's ridiculous move. They clearly knew their opponents were an extreme fire-attribute academy, the kind most skilled at explosive burst damage.

Yet instead of having the defense-type Soul Masters go up front to absorb the damage, Yu Tianheng had rushed in alone to start the fight.

And he had not even given any signal. Even if he wanted to die, he should not have done it like that!

After Yu Tianheng was defeated, the others instinctively launched their attacks, but there was absolutely no coordination between them.

Fighting on their own instead gave Blazing Fire Academy the chance to defeat them one by one.

With their coordination, Heaven Dou Royal Academy was immediately thrown into danger!

"Damn it. I'm taking over the battle from here on out. I'll control you manually—just listen to my commands!"

Qin Qi could not take it anymore. Trying to coordinate with them was worse than controlling multiple accounts by himself!
