Lin Kong flicked his wrist, and fragments of Dark Blue Silver Grass shot out like Hidden Weapon, heading towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Soul Master was providing a significant attribute boost.
Grass blades silently attacked from the side, landing all around the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master without warning. They quickly grew and spread, enveloping him and interrupting the amplification Soul Skill he was releasing.
Gu Chen, who was locked in a fierce battle with the Shi Mo and Shi Mo brothers, suddenly stopped.
He clearly sensed that the three amplification Soul Skill from his teammates had vanished without warning!
Gu Chen's heart tightened, and he slammed his fists hard into the Black Tortoise of the Shi Brothers, knocking them back slightly. Then, without hesitation, he retreated several steps backward, creating distance between them.
His gaze swept quickly across the battlefield, instantly locking onto Lin Kong who had suddenly appeared. Looking at his teammates, wrapped up like dumplings in Dark Blue Silver Grass, Gu Chen's brows furrowed deeply, and he snapped angrily, "What are you doing here causing trouble?"
Lin Kong's loud voice echoed throughout the entire venue, "Stop!"
Gu Chen took a deep breath, knowing that the fight couldn't continue, and suddenly raised his hand. "Stop!"
The two sides quickly separated, becoming clearly distinct.
Behind Gu Chen stood five disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, their emotions running high; on Lin Kong's side, the members of the Imperial Fighting Team were filled with fighting spirit, especially Yu Tianheng, who had suffered a great loss earlier. At this moment, he clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead, and roared angrily, " Gu Chen! Today I'm going to beat you to a pulp!"
Gu Chen scoffed, his face full of disdain, and said with a sneer, "Tch! You? Your arm isn't even fully healed yet, and you dare to talk such big?"
Lin Kong glanced left at the furious Yu Tianheng, then right at the smug Gu Chen, before finally turning his gaze to Dugu Yan beside him and asking calmly, "What exactly is going on?"
Dugu Yan bit her lip and explained the whole story concisely, "That day, Grandpa crumpled up Sect Master Ning's letter of recommendation into a ball. They... they came to seek revenge on me."
"Oh! I understand." Lin Kong suddenly realized.
After all this, the root of it all turns out to be himself.
Lin Kong looked directly at Gu Chen: "I will go find Uncle Ning and explain things clearly!"
With the exquisite medicinal herb, the Aromatic Silk Beauty, in his possession, he had no fear that Ning Fengzhi and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would refuse to comply. Of course, he would never give up the Aromatic Silk Beauty for such a trivial matter; at the very least, he would demand an equivalent exchange—for example, asking Ning Fengzhi to marry his daughter to him.
Upon hearing Lin Kong's words, Gu Chen laughed as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, his tone dripping with undisguised sarcasm. "Are you out of your mind? Do you really think you're something special? Who do you think you are?"
Uncle Ning?
Wow! That's quite an affectionate way to address someone!
Do you really think that just because you politely call me " Uncle Ning," the sect leader will look at you differently?
dream!
Gu Chen pointed his finger at Lin Kong's nose, his attitude extremely arrogant. "I advise you to get out of the way right now! If Dugu Yan doesn't apologize and admit her mistake today, this matter is not over!"
"If you've got the guts, then fight me fair and square!" Ye Lingling's cold voice rang out, her gaze sweeping coldly over the Poison-Swallowing Toad Soul Master behind Gu Chen. "What kind of hero sends someone whose Martial Soul perfectly counters Yanyan to target her?"
Gu Chen was speechless; he opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
Yes! This is indeed a shameful thing to do.
Dugu Bo embarrassed Ning Fengzhi, so it was understandable that they came to Dugu Yan to cause trouble and get revenge. Using a Martial Soul to counter the snake was one thing, but sending a Soul Master like the Poison-Swallowing Toad, who perfectly counters the Jade Phosphorus Snake, was indeed too despicable.
Gu Chen's face turned pale and then red from being choked, and finally he gave up in despair, glaring at everyone and saying arrogantly, "What's it to you!"
He couldn't be bothered to think about Ning Fengzhi's deeper meaning.
The two sides started arguing again, exchanging heated words and refusing to back down. It looked like they were about to come to blows.
Lin Kong rubbed his throbbing temples, looking at the persistent Gu Chen, a deep sense of helplessness welled up inside him. He took a deep breath and emphasized again, "I'll say it one last time, I'll go talk to Uncle Ning and clear things up. As for you..."
"What do you want?" Gu Chen raised an eyebrow and glared, his neck stiff, looking completely unconcerned.
Lin Kong's eyes turned cold, and he spoke slowly and deliberately, his voice filled with chill. "Since you're so eager to be beaten, then I'll grant your wish!"
"Come on! Are you scared of me?" Gu Chen didn't back down an inch. "Come on, let's have a one-on-one fight."
"Are you taking on our entire academy by yourself? Or are there six of you taking on our entire academy?"
Gu Chen tilted his head, "Huh?"
Dude, what's going on with the whole college? Are you really trying to kill me?
No, no, what makes you think you can represent the entire college? Are you just bragging?
Lin Kong casually pointed behind Gu Chen, his fingertip locking onto a figure, his tone as indifferent as if he were discussing a trivial matter. "You, it's you, step forward, let's fight one-on-one."
"What?" A fiery and irritable voice rang out, and the boy who was called out looked up sharply, his face full of disbelief and astonishment, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
Gu Chen's eyes widened in surprise. He first looked behind Lin Kong, following his finger to make sure he hadn't pointed at the wrong person, then turned to look at Lin Kong with an expression as if he were looking at an idiot. "You want to fight him one-on-one?"
"Yes!" Lin Kong nodded, his tone frank.
"His Martial Soul is Flamingo!" Gu Chen emphasized, reminding him.
"That's right!" Lin Kong maintained his nonchalant demeanor.
"Are you out of your mind?" Gu Chen couldn't hold back any longer, feeling that Lin Kong was definitely out of his mind.
Why would a Control-Type Battle Spirit Master with Dark Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul choose to fight a Flamingo Martial Soul Agility Attack System Battle Spirit Master one-on-one, instead of picking on so many easy targets?
Isn't this just asking for trouble?
The Flamingo Martial Soul's Lie Yan are naturally effective against Plant-type Martial Soul. This kind of restraint is almost exactly the same as the Poison-Swallowing Toad's restraint against the Jade Phosphorus Snake! Against the Flamingo, Lin Kong's Dark Blue Silver Grass would not only fail to bind the opponent, but would probably be completely burned away as soon as it spread over.
Lin Kong ignored him and turned to look at Dugu Yan behind him, then glanced at the other members of the Imperial Fighting Team. His tone was reassuring and concerned. "Leave it to me. Just have a quick fight and settle this. Otherwise, what kind of scene is this, making such a fuss at the academy gate!"
"No!" Yu Tianheng was the first to stand up and object, saying in a deep voice, "Let's all go together!"
"Exactly!" Yu Feng echoed, his eyes gleaming with fighting spirit. "They've come to cause trouble, what do we need to hold back? Let's swarm them and wipe them out, how much easier!"
"I agree too!" Osler replied in a deep voice, waving his thick arm forcefully.
Instead of directly stating that Lin Kong was no match for the Flamingo Soul Master in a one-on-one fight, they took a roundabout approach and suggested that everyone join forces—this would both save face for Lin Kong and ensure a decisive victory in the battle.
Just then, Dugu Yan's eyes suddenly hardened. She took a step forward and said in a clear voice, "No, you don't need to go!"
Ye Lingling looked at her, her tone blunt and leaving no room for argument. " Lin Kong can't beat his opponent; in fact, he'll lose badly."
Dugu Yan smiled faintly, shook her head gently, and said calmly, "It's nothing."
Ye Lingling was taken aback at first, then seemed to suddenly realize something, her expression changed slightly, and she said anxiously, " Yanzi, you..."
Dugu Yan didn't turn around, but instead looked up at Lin Kong. A fiery light ignited in her clear eyes, and a charming blush rose on her fair cheeks. Her voice wasn't loud, but every word was clear. "I'll go with him. At worst, we'll both lose face."
She knew perfectly well that this whole thing originated from Lin Kong and her grandfather, and ultimately it was a matter between her and Lin Kong. There was no need to drag the rest of the Imperial Fighting Team into it and make them share the risks.
