Xue Qinghe was taken aback, "A whole head full of bumps?"
"Yes, it only cleared up this morning." Xiao Wu glared at Xuan Ming as well.
It's been so many years, she's forgotten!
That heartless bastard really went all out!
A flick on the forehead will leave you with a bump!
"You... were all beaten?" Xue Qinghe's eyes twitched slightly.
"Otherwise what?" Dugu Yan couldn't help but touch her smooth forehead.
Xuan Ming always treats everyone equally when he does things!
If we're going to fight, let's fight together!
Never favor one over the other!
"No, Gu Yuena was the one who kicked the door first, and she got hit twice," Dugu Yan added.
In the past, she would have been the one to take two hits!
She was a step too slow when she kicked down the door yesterday, and Gu Yuena ended up getting beaten up!
Xue Qinghe's lips twitched slightly, and he looked at Xuan Ming with a strange expression, "You really are..."
"Who told them to kick down the door?" Xuan Ming sat up.
"They don't learn good things, but instead learn these things. They have even less manners than me."
Xiao Wu pouted, "You have manners..."
Xuan Ming glanced at Xiao Wu, "Hmm?"
Xiao Wu froze, "I was wrong!"
Xuan Ming sighed, "Remember to knock before entering my room. Don't sneak in, and don't kick the door like that, it's dangerous."
If the Dark Demon Evil Thunder he had condensed at the time hadn't been relatively weak, and if he hadn't forcibly withdrawn most of its energy, the scattered Dark Demon Evil Thunder would have made more than just a mess of the room!
He's Evil God's Protection, so he's fine, but others can't withstand that thing.
" Nana, what's wrong?"
The match was about to begin, and Bibi Dong led the Spirit Hall team toward the VIP seats. Looking at the sullen Hu Liena, Bibi Dong was somewhat puzzled.
Didn't this girl go to see Xuan Ming last night?
She didn't go home that night; she probably slept with him in her arms. She shouldn't be upset, right?
"Teacher, I'm fine." Hu Liena became even more depressed.
She encountered Xue Qinghe just as she approached the Heaven Dou Royal Grand Hotel last night. Xuan Ming had previously revealed Xue Qinghe's identity to her; he was Qian Renxue, whom she had met before.
As a result, she was invited to sit in Xue Qinghe's room all night!
They wouldn't let her leave, wouldn't let her sleep, wouldn't even allow her to cultivate; they watched her like a hawk!
I kept my eyes glued to her all night!
As they ascended to the VIP seats, Bibi Dong and Yue Guan's group headed to the first row, while Hu Liena remained seated in the second row, beside Xue Qinghe.
Seeing Xue Qinghe walking towards the VIP seats, Hu Liena felt a little flustered. "Teacher, can I change..."
Bibi Dong turned around. "What's wrong?"
Before Hu Liena could say anything, Xue Qinghe suddenly walked to her side and transmitted his voice, "You probably don't want to stay up all night with me anymore, right?"
Hu Liena paused for a moment, "No, it's nothing."
Bibi Dong frowned slightly, looking at Xue Qinghe who was smiling at her, and then connecting it with the depressed Hu Liena, she roughly guessed what had happened last night.
However, given the current situation, she couldn't say much.
In the first row of the VIP section, looking at Hu Liena, who had once again been brought over by Bibi Dong, Gu Rong couldn't help but ask Ning Fengzhi telepathically, " Fengzhi, that little girl must be the Pope's disciple, right?"
Ning Fengzhi nodded and replied telepathically, "That should be it. The Pope also brought her to Heaven Dou City for the last Soul Master Tournament."
"This little girl is in some danger," Gu Rong said seriously.
"I couldn't even gauge the depth of her power."
Even with his keen eyesight, he couldn't discern the depth of her power. This young girl not only possessed a unique Martial Soul, but it also demonstrated her exceptional control over her own strength, allowing her to conceal her aura.
For Soul Master of this age, achieving this level is no easy feat. At least so far, he hasn't seen any other team in this Soul Master Tournament achieve this.
"Her disciple is naturally extraordinary." Ning Fengzhi remained calm.
Bibi Dong was a once-in-a-millennium genius of the Spirit Hall, belonging to the same generation as him. In the Soul Master Tournament back then, Bibi Dong was about the same age as Xuan Ming. In an era when even Soul Ancestor were extremely rare, Bibi Dong, with the cultivation of a high-level Soul King, won the championship for the Spirit Hall with an absolute crushing advantage.
Less than a year after the tournament, Bibi Dong broke through to the Soul Emperor level and was appointed as the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall. If Tang Chen of the Clear Sky Sect hadn't been there, and if there hadn't been the Clear Sky Twin Stars, the Spirit Hall would have been the only one to dominate the Soul Master World.
"Just so you know, don't get all swooning later."
As they were about to step into the central Soul Fighting Arena, Shui Bing'er, the captain of the Skywater Academy Team, gave a somewhat worried reminder.
She had personally witnessed her teammates cheering for Xuan Ming when the Imperial Fighting Team faced off against the Blazing Fire Academy!
Especially her younger sister! It feels like if Xuan Ming were to beckon her, this girl could defect to the enemy in a heartbeat!
"I know, sister. I'm not unaware of the situation." Shui Yue'er somewhat guiltily.
"You can tell the difference? If I hadn't stopped you, you probably wouldn't have been able to resist going upstairs to find her in the hotel, would you?" Shui Bing'er said speechlessly.
"Yeah, I've seen you sneaking off several times."
"I saw it too..."
Shui Bing'er glanced at everyone, "Stop laughing at her, you're all pretty much the same, except you weren't stopped by me."
Every few days, they would go to the exclusive rest area of Imperial Fighting Team on the top floor together.
Going there was one thing, but getting caught was another!
The crucial point is that they were caught red-handed, yet they still insisted they were spying on military intelligence!
Even worse, some people can actually say with a straight face that they accidentally went to the wrong place!
When faced with Dugu Yan's look of utter disbelief, she wished she could disappear into a hole in the ground!
Chapter 248 Ice and Snow Drifting
"But sister, when he fought against the Blazing Fire Academy, you seemed to be mesmerized too, didn't you?" Shui Yue'er whispered.
Shui Bing'er's expression froze. "I was watching his moves. Do you think I'm like you?"
"Really? But he had already finished fighting and was walking back, and you were still watching him..."
"Um?"
"Sister, I was wrong!"
"..."
Amid cheers from tens of thousands of spectators, the teams slowly took to the stage. The Imperial Fighting Team remained in the center of the Soul Fighting Arena, as this team was extremely popular, not only because of their strength, but also because, apart from the captain, the entire team consisted of girls.
Women fighting is already captivating, let alone a group of women fighting.
Now, their opponent, Skywater Academy, is composed entirely of women.
In a sense, this is also the most anticipated match since the start of the season.
Stepping onto the central arena, the two teams, at the Doudou of the host Soul Fighting Arena, arrived at the center of the arena and stood in separate rows. Xuan Ming, as the captain, stood opposite Shui Bing'er.
Upon first approaching Xuan Ming, Shui Bing'er immediately felt immense pressure, not from Soul Power or Martial Soul, but purely from a fear stemming from biological instinct!
Shui Bing'er took a deep breath, trying her best to calm herself down. She looked up at Xuan Ming and bowed slightly, " Shui Bing'er, captain of the Skywater Academy Team, level 43 Control-Type Battle Spirit Master."
Xuan Ming was slightly taken aback, not expecting the other party to be so polite. As a top student of the Moonlight Pavilion, he naturally couldn't remain indifferent, and he also lowered his head slightly. However, he didn't speak directly, but instead transmitted his voice. " Xuan Ming, level 63, Power Attack System Battle Soul Master."
"..."
Shui Bing'er was stunned, staring at Xuan Ming's calm eyes with disbelief.
Level 63?!
Xuan Ming, who is over 1.9 meters tall, and Shui Bing'er, who is about 1.65 meters tall, looked at each other. The huge height difference looked strangely harmonious.
However, seeing the two people who inexplicably started staring at each other from different heights, the members of both teams cast strange glances at them.
"Captain, didn't you say not to be infatuated with someone?" Xue Wu gently tugged at Shui Bing'er, who was lost in thought, and whispered.
Shui Bing'er came to her senses, and her feelings immediately became extremely complicated.
She didn't question whether Xuan Ming was trying to scare her. It was basic etiquette for Soul Master to announce their names and ranks to each other. In those wild Soul Fighting Arena, there might be instances of misreporting, but in this kind of situation, it was absolutely impossible!
But level 63?
" Shui Yue'er, a level 36 Agility Attack System Battle Spirit Master." Standing on the other side of Shui Bing'er, a girl who looked somewhat similar to her, seeing that her older sister was also swooning, took the initiative to introduce herself.
Seeing this, Ye Lingling and Ning Rongrong, who were standing on either side of Xuan Ming, frowned slightly. Almost instinctively, the two of them reached out and grabbed Xuan Ming's arms, pulling him towards their own territory amidst the strange looks of the crowd.
Doudou slightly, then coughed twice, "Please release your Martial Soul."
Shui Bing'er took a deep breath, barely calming herself down, and directed the Skywater Team into battle formation.
"What were you looking at with her just now? Did you hit it off?" Ning Rongrong glared at Xuan Ming angrily.
"This is a competition, how could you do this?"
Xuan Ming was speechless. "What the hell are you looking at?"
Ning Rongrong snorted softly, as if asserting her dominance, and wrapped her arm around Xuan Ming's arm, raising her chin and glaring at Shui Bing'er opposite her.
However, Shui Bing'er was still in a complicated mood and didn't notice Ning Rongrong's little actions at all.
She was even considering whether to forfeit the competition like the Shrek Team did.
No wonder the atmosphere after the Blazing Fire Academy was defeated was like that; there was no resentment, but rather lingering fear!
She now understood what those people were afraid of!
If Xuan Ming takes this seriously, the Blazing Fire Team will suffer heavy losses, and this tournament will essentially come to an end.
They are the same!
"Both teams, get ready! The match begins!"
As soon as the host Doudou gave the order, Shui Bing'er came to her senses, and her first Soul Ring lit up. A flash of icy blue light appeared, and almost at the same time, Dugu Yan also released a burst of green poisonous mist, which pressed down on the Skywater Team.
At the same time, Xue Wu, the Auxiliary System Soul Ancestor at the back of the Skywater Team, also started to move. However, she danced in place, her four Soul Ring flashing alternately, and circles of blue light spread out. A dark cloud quickly appeared above the center of the Soul Fighting Arena. As the front rows of both sides clashed, large raindrops fell, turning into a large curtain of water.
As the rain fell, it instantly intertwined with Dugu Yan's poisonous mist, emitting a hissing sound. The poisonous mist was diluted by the rain, greatly reducing its power, while the rainwater, contaminated by the poisonous mist, became somewhat murky, but it still enveloped the Imperial Fighting Team.
"Damn it!" Dugu Yan's expression changed, and she immediately stopped releasing the poisonous mist.
The poisonous fog was diluted by the rain and then Ice Seal, rendering her deadly poison completely ineffective!
As Control System Soul Master, Dugu Yan has completely lost in the area of control.
Meanwhile, Gu Yuena and Xiao Wu, who were in charge of the main offensive, were also greatly hampered by Shui Bing'er's continuous Ice Seal. Zhu Zhuqing, in addition, was repeatedly frozen. Despite having the advantage in strength, the three of them were suppressed by the opponent.
Because Shui Bing'er's Ice Seal Soul Skill is extremely unfair, it is not only instantaneous, but also directly affects the target as long as the mind locks on, making it impossible to dodge and ensuring that the target will be Ice Seal. Coupled with the increasingly cold rain, even Gu Yuena found it difficult to cope.
" The Nine Treasures Turn Into Glazed Glass; the Nine Treasures Have Names: first, power! Second: Speed! Fourth, defense!"
Seeing this, Ning Rongrong released the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda without hesitation, and several dazzling rays of light instantly enveloped Gu Yuena, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing.
The boosts to their strength, speed, and defense instantly transformed their previously disadvantageous situation of being Ice Seal.
The members of the Skywater Team, who had just been able to hold off Gu Yuena and her two companions, were quickly repelled. Gu Yuena, wielding the Silver Dragon Spear, charged directly at Shui Bing'er.
Faced with Gu Yuena's swift and fierce attack, Shui Bing'er knew there was no way to avoid it. Her second and Third Soul Ring flashed one after another, and the double defense of the Ice Ring Armor and the Repelling Ice Ring was superimposed on her body, allowing her to withstand Gu Yuena's spear. At the same time, the Repelling Ice Ring, which was similar to Huo Wu's Huo Wu Repelling Fire Ring, burst out with a cold force, forcibly pushing back the four people who surrounded Gu Yuena.
" The Imperial Fighting Team's teamwork is too poor, their tactics are too simplistic, and they are countered by Control System Soul Master, so they are indeed extremely passive." Ning Fengzhi with some helplessness.
This hastily assembled team, while boasting individual skills that make them among the best in the competition, has virtually no teamwork!
From the start of the tournament until now, they have been overwhelmingly dominant with their absolute strength.
If the opponent displays this kind of counter, or if their own tactics are disrupted, even if they are stronger than the opponent, they will still be put on the defensive.
