Lin Kong's idea was actually very simple—since tempering his Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, his Dark Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul had gained fire resistance.
Choosing this Flamingo Soul Master was simply a way to finish the battle quickly, defeat the uninvited guests in a few moves, and drive them away, thus ending this farce completely!
In a few days, he will personally visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and have a good talk with Ning Fengzhi. Any conflict can be easily resolved that way.
But looking at the reactions of this group of people, he couldn't help but laugh and cry.
Gu Chen and the others don't believe it? That's fine, they'll prove them wrong later.
It's understandable that the Imperial Fighting Team members don't believe it, since it's common knowledge that Flamingo are effective against Plant-type Martial Soul.
Why are you getting involved, Yanyan? What's with you insisting on fighting alongside me?
Did they think I'd get utterly humiliated by the Flamingo Soul Master, so they came here specifically to embarrass themselves with me?
Lin Kong thought to himself: Girls' minds are truly unfathomable! She's suffering alongside me, yet she looks so cheerful?
"Okay, Yanyan, let's go together!" Lin Kong readily agreed.
Anyway, he had an absolute chance of winning, and having more people help him wouldn't hurt; he could just treat it as playing along with her.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan's face lit up with a smile. She moved gracefully to Lin Kong's side, took a deep breath, and carefully reached out her left hand to touch Lin Kong's palm, wanting to hold his hand and fight side by side.
She'd held Lin Kong's hand before, so it should be a natural thing to do now.
But the thought of facing a formidable enemy together, even if it's a difficult struggle, even if we're battered and bruised, makes me realize that we can stand side by side and never give up on each other...
An indescribable excitement welled up inside her, so much so that her outstretched fingertips trembled slightly.
As a result, her fingertips missed Lin Kong's hand just as they were about to touch it.
Lin Kong raised his right hand, pointing directly at Gu Chen opposite him, and said in a loud voice, "It's just me and Yanyan. What about you? Which two people do you plan to send out to fight?"
Dugu Yan froze!
Gu Chen stroked his chin, a calculating glint in his eyes, clearly assessing the strength of both sides.
The Flamingo Soul Master who was singled out immediately stepped forward, his face full of arrogance. "Why both of you? I can handle both of them by myself!"
"Indeed, you can." Gu Chen nodded, acknowledging his strength. But then he thought it over and felt it wasn't quite right, so he changed the subject, "However, if you fight two by yourself, it'll sound like our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is bullying us. How about this, you go too!"
Their gazes fell upon the Soul Master Poison-Swallowing Toad.
The Poison-Swallowing Toad Soul Master was taken aback at first, then subconsciously looked at Dugu Yan —his own Martial Soul perfectly countered the Jade Phosphorus Snake Martial Soul! Turning his head to look at Lin Kong, his teammate's Flamingo Martial Soul perfectly countered the opponent's Dark Blue Silver Grass!
In an instant, his mood became incredibly good. The frustration and pain he had felt from being beaten by Lin Kong seemed to vanish into thin air. He immediately straightened his back, raised his chest, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "I'll go! Two against two, that's fair!"
Having just been beaten so badly by Lin Kong that he was screaming in agony, he finally had his chance for revenge!
Personnel for both sides have been selected.
Lin Kong and Dugu Yan stood side by side, facing the arrogant Flamingo Soul Master and the Poison-Swallowing Toad Soul Master.
Dugu Yan moved closer to Lin Kong, her shoulder pressed tightly against his, and whispered like a cunning little fox, "How about... we just admit defeat?"
Lin Kong glanced sideways at her, raising an eyebrow. "Hmm?"
"Think about it!" Dugu Yan's eyes sparkled, her tone full of her own calculations. "They just want to save face! If we just admit defeat, won't the effect be the same? Besides, even though our Martial Soul are countered, admitting defeat isn't shameful, it's better than going up and getting thrashed!"
Are we really going to be stupid enough to send ourselves up to get beaten up?
Dugu Yan isn't stupid, nor is she a masochist! Why not just admit defeat cleanly and settle the matter?
Lin Kong chuckled, surprised that she had such a clever idea. He gently poked her forehead, his tone full of confident certainty. "Don't worry, leave it to me."
Dugu Yan was still a little worried and looked up at him. "Can it really work?"
" Yanyan," Lin Kong's voice was gentle yet carried an undeniable strength, "You can just watch from behind."
Hey! What are you two whispering about?!
"Why are you dragging your feet? Can we even start?"
"Are you scared? If you're scared, then hurry up and admit defeat and kowtow!"
The Flamingo Soul Master and the Poison-Swallowing Toad Soul Master opposite them were already impatient. The Poison-Swallowing Toad Soul Master, in particular, was all smiles as he thought about getting revenge. His shouts were especially loud.
"Alright!" Lin Kong shouted in a low voice, taking a step forward, his figure as straight as a pine tree.
"Start!"
As the sound faded, Lin Kong tore off his shirt, revealing his bare upper body. His smooth, well-defined muscles gleamed healthily in the sunlight, exuding power. The next second, Eight Spider Lances burst forth from his body, flashing with a chilling light. Dark Blue Silver Grass spread beneath his feet, carrying this momentum as it charged straight toward the two opposite him!
"Behold my flames!"
The Flamingo Soul Master raised its head and let out a long howl. Its First Soul Ring and Second Soul Ring lit up simultaneously, and a burst of blazing Lie Yan suddenly erupted from its mouth. The intense heat illuminated half the sky, and the rolling heatwave spread outwards. Even the students watching felt their cheeks burning and subconsciously took a step back.
"Ah--!"
A chorus of exclamations rose and fell.
Lin Kong didn't dodge at all; he just charged straight into the Lie Yan! His posture was practically courting death!
Yu Feng stared in disbelief, then exclaimed, " Lin Kong... has he gone mad?"
Osler looked completely bewildered, scratching his head. "Isn't he afraid of fire? This is Lie Yan that counters Plant-type Martial Soul!"
Not only them, but everyone present was stunned. Even Gu Chen frowned, finding Lin Kong's actions extremely strange.
The Flamingo Soul Master was also stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized—something's not right! Something's really wrong!
He could clearly feel that his flames had not caused Lin Kong the slightest harm!
" Third Soul Skill, Wildfire Sweeps the Plains!"
A ruthless glint flashed in the Flamingo Soul Master's eyes. The thousand-year-old purple Soul Ring beneath his feet emitted a dazzling light, Lie Yan several times hotter and more violent than before erupted from his mouth like a volcanic eruption. The crimson flames almost burned the entire sky red. This was no longer a friendly spar; he was clearly aiming to burn Lin Kong to ashes!
" Lin Kong!!!" Dugu Yan's heart leaped into her throat, her face turned deathly pale, and she couldn't help but scream, her voice filled with worry.
Just then, a calm voice, like a thunderclap, rang out from within the raging Lie Yan, clearly reaching everyone's ears:
"It feels so good to be burning like this, doesn't it?"
Everyone was stunned, instinctively widening their eyes and staring intently at the churning sea of fire.
A dark figure appeared, moving through the Lie Yan unscathed at an astonishing speed, rushing straight towards the Flamingo Soul Master!
Click!
A crisp sound of teeth clashing rang out, followed by the muffled thud of the flames being abruptly cut off.
As the flames subsided, the scene that unfolded before everyone's eyes plunged the entire arena into utter silence.
Lin Kong stood steadily in front of the Flamingo Soul Master, his right hand like an iron clamp, firmly gripping the other's mouth and blocking all the surging flames!
Lin Kong... just like that, simply ignoring the flames, he arrived in front of the Flamingo Soul Master!
While everyone was stunned, the Eight Spider Lances were swung and stuck around the body of the Poison-Swallowing Toad Soul Master. Lin Kong glanced at them, Poison-Swallowing Toad Soul Master looked at the Eight Spider Lances and sensed them. The instinct of a poison-attribute Soul Master told him that he could not touch them, or he would die from the poison.
So, the Poison-Swallowing Toad Soul Master raised his hand, "I surrender!"
So only one is left!
The Flamingo Soul Master swayed!
Lin Kong unleashed a burst of strength, grabbed his chin, lifted him up, and slammed him to the ground. Bang! He landed on his back, the impact nearly causing the Flamingo Soul Master's Martial Soul Possession to fail. Then he saw Lin Kong raise his leg high, about to chop down on his abdomen.
If that foot lands solidly, my stomach will explode!
"I surrender! I surrender!" the Flamingo Soul Master roared.
Lin Kong pulled his leg back and took a step back. "You deserved to get another beating!"
The Flamingo Soul Master was wronged, so wronged! He almost cried. He had just opened his mouth to admit defeat, but you held his mouth shut.
Lin Kong glanced at Gu Chen, then back at Dugu Yan and the rest of the Imperial Fighting Team, and looked around. "Alright, it's over!"
Everyone was still in shock!
It's absolutely breathtaking!
