Chapter 103

Xiao Linghe smiled slightly and explained, "Given your personality, you would definitely rush over immediately. And at that moment, you would fall into our trap."

Xue Zhongqi and Yan Yuting outside began attacking the protective shield.

But no matter what methods they used, they couldn't break the barrier.

"Wait, what is this thing? It's so sturdy!" Xue Zhongqi muttered after hitting it for a while without getting any response.

Yan Yuting frowned. "The squad leader is locked up inside. Is something going to happen to him?"

Xue Zhongqi kicked the protective shield hard, but still couldn't budge it. He shook his head helplessly, "There's nothing we can do. Neither of us can open this thing. However, it probably has an expiration date; we'll just have to wait."

Inside the semi-circular protective cover.

Xu Jintang looked at Xiao Linghe and the other two approaching her and casually flexed her wrists.

"Who said I fell for their trick?"

As she finished speaking, a slight smile appeared on her lips, her hands clenched into fists, and her body assumed a diving posture.

At that moment, a storm carrying countless ice blades rapidly formed and attacked the opposite side.

Under the refraction of light, the ice blades within shimmered with a cold light.

Xiao Linghe's eyes darkened slightly as he raised his hand and summoned the Flying-Winged Tiger.

The Fifth Tier Flying-Winged Tiger raised its claws and instantly tore the Ice Blade Storm apart.

At this moment, the other two teammates also rushed over to surround and attack Xu Jintang.

Xiao Linghe and his two companions had already agreed that if they encountered Xu Jintang in a team battle, they must take her down first.

This was a tactic they had practiced long ago.

The opponents I've faced before weren't that strong, so I haven't had a chance to show my skills. Today, I'll finally be able to use them against Xu Jintang.

"Sky-Scorching Arrow!"

"Ten Thousand Birds Soar in the Sky."

The two went all out, unleashing their strongest skills.

Suddenly, a giant arrow engulfed in flames appeared out of thin air and shot swiftly toward Xu Jintang, tracing an arc through the air.

The other person's attack involved summoning a dense swarm of spirit birds. The small white birds flapped their wings, and their melodious chirping echoed throughout the area. Then, the flock of birds attacked Xu Jintang in unison.

"Azure Mysterious Flying-Winged Tiger, Tiger Claw Rend!" Xiao Linghe said coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Flying-Winged Tiger spread its wings and pounced on Xu Jintang.

The scene of the three attacking Xu Jintang was intense and spectacular, eliciting a strong response from the audience.

[Hahaha, the Soul Awakening Team didn't hold back any of their trump cards in order to eliminate the Foodie.]

[Isn't the Foodie's mental strength level lower than the Ruthless Killer's? Why would he expend so much energy dealing with just her?]

[Think about it, in the last round, even though Ruthless Killer and Hot Air Balloon were so strong, neither of them became captain. Foodie's mental strength level is weak, yet she can hold the most crucial captain position in the team. This proves she's definitely stronger than Ruthless Killer and Hot Air Balloon.]

[But no matter how strong she is, she's surrounded by three people now, so breaking through won't be easy.]

Everyone is curious about how the Foodie will deal with this situation.

The audience in the stands also turned their attention to Xu Jintang.

At the same time, Li Xiang on the suspended sphere also quietly gathered his strength, ready to make a rescue at any moment.

Xu Jintang remained calm, clenching his fists tightly as he instantly mobilized the Power of Dragon Blood within his body.

The fiercely burning Power of Dragon Blood boiled completely.

An invisible protective shield arose around him, emanating a powerful force.

When the three attacks from different directions arrived at the same time, Xu Jintang looked up, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

The Power of Dragon Blood within his entire body burned rapidly.

She raised her hand, her indifferent gaze sweeping across the other side, and pointed only one finger at the arrow.

The giant, flaming arrow, which had been hurtling towards them at high speed, froze instantly in mid-air, as if it had been frozen in time.

An invisible Power of Dragon Blood poured out from her fingertips, enveloping the arrow. Then, with a "bang," the giant arrow exploded without any resistance, turning into fragments that flew everywhere.

Countless birds flew in, and a huge shadow loomed overhead.

Xu Jintang lifted it up with both hands and gathered his strength again.

The dragon blood energy gathered in his palm slowly formed a semi-transparent energy sphere. The energy sphere contained countless violent molecules, which powerfully distorted the surrounding air.

She was the first to throw out the energy ball.

With a casual, projectile motion, the translucent energy ball traced an arc in the air before gracefully landing among the flock of spirit birds that had just flown in.

The entire room fell silent; everyone held their breath, their eyes glued to the scene.

When the translucent energy sphere touched the flock of birds, the compressed energy inside was instantly released, like a burst of fireworks. The powerful and enormous energy raged across the field, forming an extremely strong airflow.

Xiao Linghe was closest to the epicenter of the explosion's radiation.

A strong gust of wind billowed his black leather jacket, forcing him to raise his hand to shield his eyes.

The other two team members did the same thing.

But the wind was so strong that it forced them to retreat repeatedly.

Until a deafening explosion erupted in the silent stadium.

Chapter 103

The flock of birds and the Flying-Winged Tiger, which had been attacking fiercely, were instantly repelled.

An invisible energy radiated outwards, twisting in the air to form rings of translucent light.

Then, a crisp cracking sound rang out, and the originally sturdy semi-circular protective shield shattered with a bang, turning into countless glass-like shards that fell to the ground.

Xue Zhongqi and Yan Yuting, who had been kept outside, suddenly brightened up.

"Squad leader, I'll do it!"

Xue Zhongqi immediately raised his gun and fired, and the wolf-tooth grappling hook landed precisely at Xiao Linghe's feet.

Xiao Linghe's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

Even with the three of them ganging up on him, they couldn't take down the Foodie, so things became a bit difficult.

At this moment, Xue Zhongqi had already rushed up to him.

Xiao Linghe immediately turned around and summoned back the Flying-Winged Tiger. The giant tiger pounced, piercing through his body and instantly merging with him.

Golden light erupted from Xiao Linghe's body, and a silver "King" character slowly appeared on his forehead.

His arms were covered in stiff hair, through which the lines of his muscles were faintly visible.

--Beast Demonic Beast Possession: The summoned beast merges with the power of the ability user, causing the user's combat power to increase by two times in a short period of time.

"Ding--"

Xue Zhongqi's Attack Inscription, a sharp blade of air, struck Xiao Linghe's right arm, but was quickly deflected with a crisp sound.

His gaze faltered, and he hesitated as he examined Xiao Linghe's right arm.

After Demonic Beast Possession, it can actually achieve this kind of defensive effect?

With the defense over, Xiao Linghe's expression darkened. He quickly rushed towards Xue Zhongqi and grabbed his wolf-tooth chain.

Xue Zhongqi, bound by chains, was immediately pulled to the ground while in mid-air.

He gripped the chains with both hands, gritted his teeth, and pulled them towards himself with all his might.

Xiao Linghe chuckled and easily pulled the chain back to his side, pulling Xue Zhongqi over as well.

Just as he was about to fly into the enemy camp, Xue Zhongqi gritted his teeth, decisively discarded the grappling hook, and threw over a few explosive runes as well.

Explosions continued to occur.

Xiao Linghe was busy defending himself and naturally had no time to pay attention to him anymore.

Having successfully escaped Xue Zhongqi ran to Xu Jintang's side, instinctively letting out a sigh of relief. "Squad leader, how do we fight?"

Xu Jintang slowly withdrew his strength, and the turmoil of his mental energy gradually subsided.

Prolonged use of the amplified power of the dragon blood would severely damage her body's meridians. In order to break through the encirclement of Xiao Linghe and the other two, she had already pushed the use of the Power of Dragon Blood to its limit.

For the sake of her health, she can no longer use this move against her opponent.

"Use your level-two array patterns to take down Xiao Linghe first," Xu Jintang said after calming down.

Xue Zhongqi pursed his lips. "Okay."

At this moment, Yan Yuting also ran over.

Xue Zhongqi lowered his voice and explained the tactics to her.

"Okay." Yan Yuting nodded in agreement.

Xu Jintang and his two companions stood in a row, all looking at Xiao Linghe and his two companions opposite them.

At this moment, a hint of interest flashed in Li Xiang's eyes as he rode the hovering ball circling in the air.

He thought the match was about to end when Xiao Linghe and his two companions ganged up on him. Now it seems there will be even more exciting matches to come.

[Holy crap, this Foodie is so strong! She single-handedly broke through the combined attack of Xiao Linghe and two others??]

[I knew someone who could be the leader of the Mask Squad wouldn't be simple. The members of this team are clearly all unparalleled geniuses.]

[But the move that the Foodie -nothing" just used seems to be unusable now. If she were to fight Xiao Linghe later, it seems unlikely she'd win.]

In the team waiting area, Song Tianqi frowned, "Sister Shiyi, will the class monitor and the others not lose?"

Jiang Shiyi replied calmly, "Even if we lose this battle, we still have a chance to win the next major team battle."

Song Tianqi immediately realized what was happening.

In the previous 2v2 round, Sister Shiyi hadn't even used her ultimate combo moves yet.

He didn't even use his Vermilion Bird Bloodline to its fullest extent.

Their team has quite a few trump cards, so they might not necessarily lose to the Soul Awakening Team.

"That's true." Song Tianqi's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and his gaze returned to the arena.

With the Demonic Beast Possession, Xiao Linghe's combat power is approaching the Peak Fifth Tier.

After exchanging a few blows with his opponent, Xu Jintang was forced back to the edge of the ring.

She raised her eyes and stared into Xiao Linghe's gaze, subtly activating her mental power, causing a solid, hard layer of ice to rise from behind Xiao Linghe.

Immediately afterwards, two ice chains emerged, wrapping around Xiao Linghe's arms from the left and right.

Taking advantage of Xiao Linghe's break free of the ice chains, Xu Jintang went around to the left and returned to the center of the arena.

A few seconds later, Xiao Linghe forcefully broke the ice chain, turned around with a stern face, and searched for Xu Jintang's figure.

After this fierce fight, he had long lost his former debonair demeanor.
