Yu Tianheng's strength instantly dissipated, the violent lightning vanished, and only deep dejection and resentment remained on his face.
As the captain of the Imperial Fighting Team, he led seven teammates against one enemy, yet they still lost, and lost so badly!
So what if Lin Kong External Soul Bone?
So what if Lin Kong's final methods seemed despicable?
So what if Lin Kong was playing psychological warfare from beginning to end?
These are not reasons why seven people cannot defeat one person!
Failure is failure; there are no excuses.
As Qin Ming spoke, Lin Kong's Soul Power slowly receded, the Dark Blue Silver Grass that Entanglement Ye Lingling faded away, and the Eight Spider Lances quietly returned to his body. He released his grip on Dugu Yan's chin, took a step back, and created some distance between them. The ambiguous intimacy between their bodies, which had been pressed together just moments before, was still faintly visible.
Lin Kong turned around to look at Ye Lingling, a gentle smile on his face, his tone apologetic. "Weren't you scared? It was all acting just now, I'm sorry."
"Yes, a little." Ye Lingling nodded gently, the panic on her face had faded, and she had regained her usual gentleness. She gave him a faint smile, indicating that she was alright.
"I owe you a favor. If you ever need anything in the future, just let me know," Lin Kong said earnestly.
"What about me?" Dugu Yan, standing beside him, immediately became unhappy, put her hands on her hips, and glared at Lin Kong angrily.
Why should I?
Just now, she was the one being held hostage by Lin Kong, her chin held down, and her heart was pounding in her chest. But Lin Kong went to comfort Ye Lingling first, completely ignoring her!
Growing angrier by the thought, Dugu Yan suddenly reached out and grabbed Lin Kong's wrist, holding his hand between them as if to forcefully pull it down. Her tone was hostile as she said, "And what about me? How do you plan to compensate me?"
Seeing her pouty expression, Lin Kong smiled slightly and deliberately drew out his words, "Mmm..."
"What do you mean by 'hmm'?" Dugu Yan's anger flared even more at his hesitant manner. "What? You're not even willing to owe me a favor?"
Lin Kong didn't respond to her comment. Instead, he pointed into the distance and calmly reminded her, "If you keep holding my hand, Yu Feng and Osler will ascend to heaven."
Following his gaze, everyone saw Osler lying on the ground, his face ashen and his lips purple, clearly indicating that he had been severely poisoned.
When he bumped into the Eight Spider Lances, he was pricked in many places by the hairs on the spider legs, and the venom penetrated faster and deeper. Now he doesn't even have the strength to speak.
Yu Feng was in no better shape, slumped on the ground, his face deathly pale, wailing tearfully, "Vice Captain, I'm dying, save me..."
"Ah?" Dugu Yan blushed, realizing that she had been so angry that she had forgotten her teammates were still poisoned and collapsed. She quickly released Lin Kong's wrist and even subconsciously grabbed his arm, pushing him towards Yu Feng and Osler, saying urgently, "Quick! Go and detoxify them!"
Seeing her anxious expression, Lin Kong couldn't help but smile and shake his head. He then turned around and quickly walked to Yu Feng and Osler, squatted down, and began to absorb the toxins from their bodies little by little.
The two, who were just on the verge of death, gradually recovered after the poison was neutralized, and finally caught their breath.
Qin Ming stood there, watching Lin Kong calmly detoxify, and then looking at his dejected teammates beside him. As the leader of the Imperial Fighting Team, he couldn't help but feel a sense of defeat.
The next second, Qin Ming's sense of defeat vanished, replaced by a strong drive and an irrepressible desire.
Lin Kong is so amazing!
If he could join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and then enter the Imperial Fighting Team, wouldn't he become one of our own?
Those who are on our side, of course, the more capable the better!
Qin Ming strode up to Lin Kong, his eyes burning with determination, and said firmly, " Lin Kong, you must join our Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"
"I'd like to too!" Lin Kong shrugged helplessly. "But the problem lies in the academy's rules. My background is unclear, so it'll be difficult to pass the audit."
"You can explain your identity and background!" Qin Ming quickly said.
Lin Kong simply shook his head and didn't continue the topic, clearly not wanting to waste any more words with him.
Qin Ming's expression darkened, but hope quickly rekindled. He patted his chest and assured them, "It's alright! I'll go find the three education commissioners again and I'll definitely persuade them to accept you!"
Previously, he didn't have high expectations for Lin Kong. He felt that although Lin Kong had External Soul Bone, his Martial Soul was Dark Blue Silver Grass, and his Second Soul Ring was a white Ten-Year Soul Ring, so his talent was limited. Even if he was level 25 now, he would be at most level 35 in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament four years later, which would be of limited help to the Imperial Fighting Team.
Taking him in was primarily for preparation for the major competition nine years later. By then, he would definitely be Four-Ring Soul Ancestor, and a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor with an External Soul Bone would absolutely be a key player!
But who can say for sure what will happen nine years from now?
But things are different now!
Lin Kong's performance just now not only demonstrated astonishing potential in terms of strength, but also completely overwhelmed the seven members of the Imperial Fighting Team in terms of tactics and mentality.
With his wisdom and strategy far exceeding those of his peers, he is more than qualified to join the Imperial Fighting Team, and even become the core of the team!
"You guys..." Lin Kong turned to look at the seven members of the Imperial Fighting Team, hesitating to speak.
At this moment, almost everyone in the Imperial Fighting Team subconsciously looked away, not daring to meet his gaze. The crushing defeat they had just suffered was too much of a blow, and some of them were too ashamed to face Lin Kong.
Lin Kong didn't mind, walked straight to Dugu Yan, narrowed his eyes, rubbed his right hand lightly in front of him twice, and said with a hint of amusement, "I think I just sensed something unusual."
This gesture reminded Dugu Yan of the image of his right hand resting on her chin earlier. Was he reliving that sensation?
As she thought about it, Dugu Yan's cheeks flushed, and her heart beat faster involuntarily. She subconsciously turned her face away, not daring to look at him.
Yu Tianheng, who was not far away, saw the whole scene clearly. He looked at Lin Kong's ambiguous actions and Dugu Yan's flushed cheeks. His expression was incredibly complex. He felt as if he had eaten bitter herbs, and his last bit of energy had completely dissipated. He could only sigh helplessly, lower his head, and look at his eyes filled with disappointment and resentment.
This is truly heartbreaking; the relationship hasn't even started, and I'm already heartbroken!
Suppressing her embarrassment, Dugu Yan feigned composure and asked, "What exactly did you experience?"
Lin Kong did not answer her question. Instead, he reached out and grabbed her wrist, lifted her hand up, and turned it from side to side, examining it very carefully, especially her fingernails, scrutinizing them intently with a serious expression.
"On your body..." Lin Kong hesitated, as if he had discovered something, and then hesitated again.
The problem with Dugu Yan is truly... those involved are often blinded, while bystanders see things clearly!
Do you know you've been poisoned?
Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he lowered his voice and said, "Let's not let anyone else know about this. Come with me!"
Before he finished speaking, he grabbed Dugu Yan's wrist and quickly walked towards a secluded corner in the distance.
The other five members of the Imperial Fighting Team all changed their expressions, their gazes filled with shock, confusion, and sympathy, ultimately all falling on Yu Tianheng.
Yu Tianheng sighed helplessly and slowly lowered his head.
"Damn it!" Although Yu Feng was poisoned, the amount was not large, and his energy was much better Osler's. He glanced at Lin Kong and Dugu Yan and exclaimed in surprise.
Yu Tianheng was already in a bad mood when he heard this, so he couldn't help but complain, " Yu Feng, what's wrong with you, jumping up and down like that?"
"Captain, don't look!" Yu Feng cried out anxiously.
"What do you mean, 'don't look'?" Yu Tianheng was puzzled for a moment, then suddenly his mind clicked, and he looked towards Lin Kong and Dugu Yan. Because of the distance, it seemed that Lin Kong was kissing Dugu Yan...
Yu Tianheng swayed his upper body and pressed his right hand to his chest!
pain!
Heartbreaking!
