Two Against Five, an Easy Win

Seeing the claw marks crisscrossing Yufeng's body, Dugu Yan's anger was mixed with a trace of fear.

Dugu Yan was Dugu Bo's precious granddaughter. He had always protected her well, so she was like a flower raised in a greenhouse and had seen little of the world's cruelty.

"Shi Mo, Shi Mo, stop her!"

At Dugu Yan's command, the Shi Mo brothers attacked Zhu Zhuqing from both sides.

The Shi Mo brothers possessed the Basalt Tortoise martial spirit, granting them formidable defensive power.

Even Power Attack System Soul Masters of the same level might not be able to break through their defenses, let alone an Agility Attack Soul Master.

However, Zhu Zhuqing was no ordinary Agility Attack Soul Master. Faced with the two brothers charging from either side, she flashed aside and evaded them.

The two brothers worked together seamlessly. Against ordinary opponents, they could achieve quite impressive control effects.

But Zhu Zhuqing was sensing the flow of the wind, searching for flaws in their coordination.

At that moment, Shi Mo hurled the shield in his hand at Zhu Zhuqing, giving her the exact opportunity she needed.

"First Spirit Ability, Netherworld Wind Thrust!"

After fusing with the Wind Attribute, Zhu Zhuqing's First Spirit Ability had evolved from Hell Stab into Netherworld Wind Thrust.

Not only had its attack speed increased, but it had also gained the Wind Attribute's piercing power.

However, Zhu Zhuqing had not expected the opening Shi Mo revealed to be a trap aimed at her.

Relying on his defensive power, Shi Mo forcefully took Zhu Zhuqing's strike. Though it was far stronger than he had expected, he still managed to withstand it.

Shi Mo recalled his shield and worked with Shi Mo to trap Zhu Zhuqing.

The shields in the Shi Mo brothers' hands shattered at the same time, their fragments spinning like a storm.

At the center of the storm, Zhu Zhuqing continuously swung her Gale Claws, blocking the shield fragments' attacks.

But the storm lasted only a dozen seconds before stopping, because Shi Mo could no longer hold on.

"Second Spirit Ability: Netherworld Hundred Claws!"

The instant the storm stopped, Zhu Zhuqing immediately unleashed her Second Spirit Ability on Shi Mo.

Before his shield could return, he endured Zhu Zhuqing's relentless barrage and soon joined Shi Mo and Yufeng on the ground.

Yu Tianheng still had not managed to catch Ning Rongrong. She was as slippery as a loach and refused to clash head-on with him.

This was also what Lan Yu had taught them. Charging in recklessly when you knew you were outmatched was not bravery—it was stupidity.

Combat was about exploiting your strengths while avoiding your weaknesses, making the most of your advantages, concealing your shortcomings as much as possible, and dragging your enemy into a rhythm you were familiar with.

Lan Yu was quite satisfied with Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong's current performance. At the same time, he realized that he had somewhat overestimated the Imperial Team's strength.

"Damn it, do you only know how to run?"

"Hehe, catch me first before you say that."

Ning Rongrong even stuck out her tongue at Yu Tianheng provocatively.

"Second Spirit Ability: Thunderous Myriad Strikes!"

Yu Tianheng disregarded the consumption and unleashed Thunderous Myriad Strikes with all his strength. Bolts of lightning crashed toward Ning Rongrong, sealing off every avenue of retreat.

"Let's see where you run this time. Secret technique: Dragon Transformation!"

Yu Tianheng activated the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's secret Dragon Transformation technique. After activating it, part of the body would transform into a dragon.

At the Title Douluo level, one could even transform their entire body into a genuine Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon and fight in that form.

Seeing Yu Tianheng use the Dragon Transformation secret technique, a flash of envy appeared in Yu Xiaogang's eyes.

How he wished his martial spirit had not undergone a malignant mutation. If his martial spirit had still been the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, he surely would have made a name for himself across the continent.

He would never have ended up like this, bearing the title of Grandmaster while enduring others' scorn.

However, in Lan Yu's view, even if Yu Xiaogang had awakened the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial spirit, his personality meant he could never have achieved much.

His arrogant temperament might even have brought greater disaster upon the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Back in the arena, Ning Rongrong watched Yu Tianheng transform one arm into a dragon's limb and charge toward her.

"Hmph! This young lady isn't dodging anymore!"

Ning Rongrong took out a Full-Buff Mushroom and a High-Temperature Mushroom Skewer, then ate them immediately.

She instantly felt her body receive all-around enhancement. Her strength, speed, and defense all rose to another level.

The effects of her spirit abilities were enhanced as well. In other words, the buffs Ning Rongrong placed on herself had become even stronger.

"Ha ha ha! Take another punch from this young lady!"

Ning Rongrong's tiny, fair, flawless fist collided directly with Yu Tianheng's ferocious dragon claw.

Many people thought Ning Rongrong was about to suffer badly, but what rang out instead was Yu Tianheng's scream.

"Ah..."

Yu Tianheng felt certain that the bones in his transformed arm had cracked. The piercing pain was utterly unbearable.

"How is that possible?!"

Yu Xiaogang abruptly rose from the stands, his face full of disbelief.

"I saw her eat something just now. Could it have been enhancement food made by a Food-System Soul Master like me?"

"Does anyone know what type that guy's martial spirit actually is?"

Pointing at Lan Yu, Ma Hongjun asked. Tang San thought for a moment before saying, "At the beginning, it should have been Food System. Now, I'm not sure."

"If his martial spirit's Food System traits have not changed, then it is not strange for Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing to have potent enhancement food. Sigh, I really misjudged him!"

Yu Xiaogang truly regretted it. Back at Notting College, if he had taken Lan Yu in as his disciple, perhaps he would now know Lan Yu's true secret. Perhaps even his martial spirit, Luo Sanpao, could have been saved.

Yet he did not stop to think that, because of Lan Yu's low Innate Soul Power, he had never given Lan Yu a proper look, much less considered accepting him as a disciple.

On the arena, Ning Rongrong pressed her advantage and charged straight at Yu Tianheng, kicking toward his chest.

Yu Tianheng crossed his arms before his chest, lightning crackling around his body as he forcefully received Ning Rongrong's kick.

Screech... Yu Tianheng slid a long distance across the Mycelial Carpet before finally managing to dissipate the force.

"Tianheng, are you all right?"

"You should worry about yourself."

Zhu Zhuqing had already rushed in front of Dugu Yan.

"Don't push your luck! Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison!"

Dugu Yan instantly sprayed a large amount of purple poisonous mist forward. The mist was incredibly toxic, and anyone poisoned by it could die in a short time.

Under normal circumstances, an opponent would certainly avoid such deadly poison mist. This was also one of Dugu Yan's methods as a control-type Soul Master.

Yet after eating a Detoxifying Mushroom, Zhu Zhuqing directly ignored the poisonous mist.

"What?!"

Before Dugu Yan could react, Zhu Zhuqing's claws were already at her throat. Dugu Yan swallowed hard and did not dare move at all.

At that moment, Lan Yu activated Decomposition, and the Mycelial Carpet instantly broke down Dugu Yan's poisonous mist until nothing remained.

Once the poisonous mist dispersed, Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan's figures were revealed within it.

Ning Rongrong smiled. "Well? Do you still want to fight?"

Though Yu Tianheng was unwilling to accept it, he could only say, "We... surrender!"
