Two Eliminated, Only One Left

"Great, we can break through his defenses!"

Seeing the dark red blood, Xie Xie could not help celebrating prematurely.

Tang Wulin's expression grew increasingly grave. She naturally knew how much strength she had used just now.

And that strike had only drawn a little blood?

Gu Yue was already starting to panic. She had confidently declared before that they would definitely win, but judging by this, the odds of their side losing seemed rather high!

"Damn it, we have to think of something."

Before she could come up with anything, Luo Qing moved.

"Your teamwork truly pleases me. Then let's make this battle even more intense!"

Two light wheels suddenly appeared in Luo Qing's hands. They began spinning violently, producing a shrill sound as they sliced through the air—

"What is that?!"

Xie Xie's expression changed, but Tang Wulin had no intention of surrendering without a fight.

Her Golden Dragon Claw swung out again, clawing fiercely at Luo Qing with irresistible force.

The two light wheels in Luo Qing's hands caught the Golden Dragon Claw like chainsaws.

"Clang—clang—clang—"

Like metal striking metal, they produced an extremely sharp, ear-piercing sound.

Xie Xie also understood that he absolutely could not stand by. He threw the Shadow Dragon Dagger in his hand, and without a second thought, Luo Qing used his wings to block the incoming dagger.

But at that moment, Xie Xie suddenly appeared above the dagger, leaving Luo Qing briefly stunned.

"Flying Thunder God? Is that even allowed?"

"Just watch, Luo Qing! This is the grand gift I specially prepared for you!"

Xie Xie had positioned himself perfectly in a blind spot. Seizing the opening, he gripped the Light Dragon Dagger and stabbed down fiercely.

Luo Qing could either give up facing Tang Wulin and use his wings to break free for the moment.

Or he could take this blow head-on, while finding an opportunity to counterattack and knock down that fragile guy.

"Not dodging? You really look down on me!"

"Light Dragon Storm!"

The dagger in Xie Xie's hand shone brilliantly, and he transformed into a drill, using the dagger as its point as he bored down at Luo Qing.

This attack truly could not be underestimated. Luo Qing could only exert force with his hands and knock Tang Wulin back half a step.

Then, the light wheels in his hands transformed into two greatswords, crossing before him to block the incoming spiraling light.

At that very moment, a ground spike tore through the arena floor and shot up fiercely from below.

Gu Yue naturally would not miss such an opening in his defense, and Tang Wulin charged into the battle again.

Luo Qing also understood that he could not get drawn into a prolonged fight. His figure rapidly retreated as he flapped his wings and widened the distance.

"He got away!"

Xie Xie was unwilling to accept it. He had thrown up his lunch for three days while practicing that technique, all so he could have a viable answer to Luo Qing's defenses.

"No need to rush. We've already proven that Luo Qing's defenses can be broken!"

Gu Yue hurriedly spoke up as well, steadying their morale.

Tang Wulin said nothing. She simply stared fixedly at Luo Qing in the distance.

Her heart was beating, as if some instinct was slowly awakening.

In her eyes, Luo Qing seemed to be covered by a special filter, hazy and suffused with warm light.

Yet that warm light before her now possessed an appearance capable of destroying everything.

I want him. I want to possess him. I want to dominate him—

Countless thoughts surged through Tang Wulin's mind, but in the end, she condensed them into a single thought—defeat him!

Knock him to his knees, and then, according to ancient tradition, the victor could do anything they wished to the loser.

Tang Wulin had no idea where this ancient tradition came from, but she was eager to try it.

As long as she could defeat Big Brother, then could she really...

But the battle was at a stalemate, and as the spearhead of their offense, Tang Wulin naturally took the lead.

They gathered once more and launched another attack.

This time, however, a greatsword appeared in Luo Qing's hand.

Tang Wulin recognized that greatsword. It was the gift she had given Big Brother.

Cast from tungsten steel and Thousand Forged.

Its hardness and weight were exceptionally formidable. Other than its terrifying weight, it could be said to have nothing but advantages.

This time, however, pure white light rose from the dark blade.

Luo Qing swung the greatsword in his hand and looked at the three before him.

"Not coming at me?"

"Then this time, I'll be the one attacking!"

Luo Qing flapped his wings and suddenly appeared before Gu Yue at the rear.

Gu Yue naturally realized that she was his first target. Silver light surged instantly, and she vanished from where she stood.

Yet a massive stone pillar suddenly rose from the ground where she had been. Numerous spikes abruptly emerged from its surface, clearly intending to make Luo Qing suffer.

But Luo Qing waved his hand, and the edge of his greatsword directly sliced the stone pillar apart.

The next second, dazzling light exploded, and everyone seemed unable to open their eyes from the blinding glare.

The three on the stage were the same. None of them had expected a simple slash to erupt with such dazzling radiance.

Gu Yue suddenly seemed to remember something. Just as she was about to pull away, she discovered that when her vision returned, Luo Qing was already before her.

She had just finished controlling the elements and needed several seconds to select a target before switching to spatial teleportation, but it was already too late.

It's over!

Gu Yue screamed inwardly, but before she could speak, Luo Qing grabbed her by the collar and threw her out of the competition area.

The first team member had been eliminated. The pressure on Tang Wulin and Xie Xie skyrocketed.

"You can throw her out, but don't throw me out!"

Xie Xie had clearly been rattled by the swift battle. Just as he was about to say something, he found Luo Qing appearing before him in an instant.

This was full speed—Luo Qing himself had turned light into fuel to propel himself.

He pushed his speed to the point where it could chase light itself. Though such an outburst consumed a great deal of energy, he no longer wanted to keep fighting like this.

Before Xie Xie could speak again, he was kicked straight out of the competition area.

And now, only Luo Qing and Tang Wulin remained standing atop the arena.

"Big Brother, I didn't expect it would be the two of us left in the end..."

Tang Wulin's hands were already trembling slightly. The fierce exchanges from earlier had clearly pushed her to the brink of her limits.

Luo Qing understood as well. After all, his Eight-Part Light Wheel was not so easy to take head-on.

"Then let's settle this once and for all!"

Tang Wulin did not retreat. Even though all her teammates had been eliminated, she intended to fight until the very last moment!

"Then come on!"

Luo Qing became excited as well. In terms of strength, only Tang Wulin after awakening the Golden Dragon King bloodline could contend with him.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon inherently possessed power comparable to that of gods, and among those three gods was Obelisk the Tormentor, renowned for its strength.

After obtaining this martial soul, Luo Qing had inherited that trait as well.

Therefore, in terms of strength, he would not be weaker than Tang Wulin.

Luo Qing dismissed Tyrant's Wings behind him and gathered all his soul power into his fists.

He had had enough of all the unnecessary tricks. Today, they would fight to their hearts' content—

Tang Wulin understood his intention. Golden scales once more covered both her hands.

"Boom—"

Fist against fist, scales covered both of their hands.

Their fists seemed to transform into four streaks of light—two white and two gold—as they collided again and again.

Each collision produced an incredibly heavy sound, like large-caliber artillery firing—

At this moment of deadly confrontation, Tang Wulin sensed a subtle feeling.

Every punch she threw seemed to become like the hammer she had wielded during forging, while Luo Qing's fists felt like the reactive force returned by metal.

Then—could she treat this battle as a forging session as well?

Luo Qing watched as Tang Wulin grew more fluid with every exchange, as though she had entered a state of sudden enlightenment.

"666, does pressure just make her stronger?"

"Just as expected of the protagonist—"
