From the moment Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai stepped into the Soul Arena, their eyes were fixed on each other.
But there was no trace of old affection in his eyes, only a chilling killing intent clashing fiercely in the air.
Dai Mubai did it to protect his crumbling dignity, while Zhu Zhuqing did it to avenge the past grievance of that claw and to break free from the shackles that bound her for life!
Dugu Yan smiled and took Zhu Zhuqing's slightly cool hand, then looked at Tang San again, "Let them fight one-on-one, a fair duel. Neither of our teams will interfere, as long as he can beat Zhuqing."
Dugu Yan's tone suddenly changed, carrying an undeniable certainty, "Then I, Dugu Yan, on behalf of the Royal Fighting Team, concede defeat on the spot! How about it?"
Tang San's heart skipped a beat when he heard the word "surrender"! This was undoubtedly the best opportunity to defeat the insurmountable mountain in front of him!
But the next moment, a huge question arose in my mind!
why?
What exactly was Dugu Yan's intention in doing this?
She only needed to take action herself; the Shrek team would be utterly helpless against her.
Why, when victory is already assured, would you create unnecessary complications by proposing such a seemingly pointless one-on-one duel?
Moreover, the news of him publicly displaying the Clear Sky Hammer should have already shaken up Wuhun City, so why has the Wuhun Hall not reacted at all?
Could it be that Bibi Dong, out of consideration for Yu Xiaogang's attitude, forcibly suppressed this matter?
Dugu Yan's sudden suggestion was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up countless chaotic ripples and unanswerable questions in Tang San's heart.
"Xiao San!" A heavy hand slammed onto Tang San's shoulder, interrupting his thoughts.
Dai Mubai's usually wicked face was now filled with a violent killing intent as he stared intently at Zhu Zhuqing opposite him. "I'll deal with this bitch! She's right, there is indeed a blood debt between us that needs to be settled!"
"Alright!" Sensing Dai Mubai's almost bursting anger and determination, Tang San no longer hesitated.
Rejecting this proposal would mean facing the entire Royal Fighting Team, including Dugu Yan, whose strength is even more terrifying, which would undoubtedly be suicide.
Dugu Yan watched as the Shrek team, except for Dai Mubai who remained in the arena, quickly retreated to the very edge of the Soul Arena under Tang San's leadership.
She smiled contentedly, turned around and gently patted Zhu Zhuqing's tense back, her voice soft, "Zhuqing, you can do it! I believe in you!"
Hearing Dugu Yan's warm words of encouragement, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes instantly reddened. She turned around abruptly and hugged her captain, who was like a dear older sister to her, burying her head deeply in Dugu Yan's neck, her voice choked with emotion, "Thank you... Sister Yan!"
She thought that she would never have another chance to break off her fateful entanglement with Dai Mubai in this competition. Unexpectedly, Dugu Yan was willing to take this risk in the crucial fourth round to create this opportunity for her.
"Silly girl, you've already called me Sister Yan, so what else is there to say?" Dugu Yan hugged Zhu Zhuqing's slender yet strong waist back and gently patted her on the back. "Go, use your strength to bring back victory! My fate is in your hands!"
After saying that, Dugu Yan released her embrace and parted ways with Zhu Zhuqing. She then led the members of the Royal Fighting Team to retreat cleanly to the other edge of the field.
The vast arena was left entirely to this man and woman, who had been bound together by the chains of fate since birth.
Chapter 208 Zhu Zhuqing VS Dai Mubai
When Zhu Zhuqing left Dugu Yan's embrace and turned her gaze back to Dai Mubai, who was filled with hostility, her beautiful, dark eyes, as clear as glass, instantly regained their calm and sharpness.
All the gentleness and vulnerability on her face had vanished, replaced by the same coldness and indifference she displayed when she first arrived at Shrek Academy, keeping everyone at arm's length.
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's expression, Dai Mubai felt a surge of disgust and anger, his heart filled with countless vicious curses and roars.
That’s the expression!
That expression that was always cold and aloof towards him, as if he were some kind of filth!
The Zhu family has been a vassal of the Dai family for generations! From the moment she was born, Zhu Zhuqing was Dai Mubai's possession! A tool, an accessory!
What gives her the right? What gives her the right to act so aloof and superior in front of him? What qualifications does she have?!
The two men stared at each other from thirty meters away, the atmosphere tense.
"Zhu Zhuqing, I'll show you just how serious the consequences of running away from me really are!"
Dai Mubai's voice was filled with killing intent, and his evil eyes flashed with red light.
"You talk too much nonsense!" Zhu Zhuqing said expressionlessly.
Immediately, a pair of soft cat ears appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's head, and a nimble tail danced behind her, stabilizing her figure.
"Zhu Zhuqing of the Royal Fighting Team, a level 47 agility-attack type Soul Master, with the Martial Soul Netherworld Cat!"
"A level 47 Soul Master? Is this the power you obtained by selling yourself?"
Zhu Zhuqing's words made Dai Mubai's expression even uglier, and he couldn't help but sneer.
Think of how much he has sacrificed to reach his current level, but what about Zhu Zhuqing? She only joined the Royal Fighting Team and built a good relationship with Dugu Yan, and she has already achieved such a great improvement.
How could such a good thing come so easily?
Thinking of this, Dai Mubai looked towards the direction of the plant team and saw Mu Ci surrounded by beautiful women. He felt as if he had been cuckolded.
Dai Mubai's words did not inspire Zhu Zhuqing to explain in the slightest; instead, her vertical pupils, now imbued with her martial spirit, grew even colder.
"Hmph!" Seeing Zhu Zhuqing remain silent, Dai Mubai also felt bored and began to speak, "Dai Mubai of the Shrek Academy team, a level 53 power-attack type battle soul master, martial soul: Blood Tiger of Slaughter!"
A crimson light of soul power began to rise from Dai Mubai's body, and his long hair also began to turn blood red as the martial soul possessed him.
The referee looked at the two sides, who were already prepared, and said nothing.
Since the two teams had already agreed to send only one person each to determine the winner, he had no reason to stop them.
"Game start!"
With the referee's whistle, Zhu Zhuqing, who had been poised to attack, transformed into a black shadow and left the spot.
The figure, like a ghost, began to circle around Dai Mubai.
As for Dai Mubai's response, it was even simpler.
The first and third spirit rings flashed in succession, and the two amplifying spirit skills, Blood Tiger Protective Barrier and Blood Tiger Vajra Transformation, instantly empowered him.
His already imposing physique grew even larger, and at the same time, a layer of blood-red, semi-transparent light appeared around him.
As a power-attack type Soul Master, you shouldn't compete with agility-attack type Soul Masters in terms of speed. The simplest way to deal with it is to stand still and wait for the opponent to come and attack.
Zhu Zhuqing naturally understood this principle well and directly maximized her own advantages.
His eyes were fixed on Dai Mubai, who was constantly trying to catch his movements. Then, in the instant their visions crossed, his fourth spirit ring, a deep purple-black color, flashed by.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Netherworld Clone!"
Similar to the Netherworld Shadow Clone that Zhu Zhuqing should have originally obtained, the current fourth soul skill also comes from the Ghost Tiger, but it is not an ordinary thousand-year-old Ghost Tiger, but an eight-thousand-year-old Ghost Tiger King whose bloodline has undergone a transformation.
As for the effect of the obtained Netherworld Clone, it is naturally much stronger than the Netherworld Shadow Clone of an ordinary Ghost Tiger.
The clone effect remains the same, but the 50% speed increase effect has been changed to a 30% increase in all attributes.
Although the numbers appear smaller on the surface, the amplification effect has been greatly enhanced.
In the blink of an eye, Zhu Zhuqing on the battle arena split into three.
Furthermore, each of them possessed the exact same aura, and with the amplification of their fourth soul skill, they were infinitely close to Soul Kings.
The three Zhu Zhuqings, all possessed by the same ghostly cat, formed a triangle around Dai Mubai, who was standing still.
Just as Dai Mubai scanned his surroundings, the three Zhu Zhuqings launched their attacks simultaneously.
Three slender, shadowy figures rushed towards Dai Mubai at incredible speed.
At the same time, his third spirit ring lit up instantly, and a nearly half-meter-long purplish-black light appeared on his hands.
He slashed directly at Dai Mubai, who was closing in instantly.
As Dai Mubai sensed the approaching aura around him, his expression grew even more somber.
If there were only one Zhu Zhuqing, it would be fine, but the sudden appearance of three Zhu Zhuqings, all at the peak of the Soul Sect, caused Dai Mubai's pressure to soar, and he lost his previous relaxed state of mind.
Under this pressure, Dai Mubai's fifth spirit ring was forced to activate.
Black and red magic patterns appeared on his body, and thick blood mist swirled around him.
"Blood Tiger Demon God Transformation!"
Dai Mubai's aura surged instantly, and his two tiger paws forcefully blocked Zhu Zhuqing's attacks from both sides.
Unfortunately, two fists cannot withstand six hands.
Another Zhu Zhuqing moved behind Dai Mubai.
Zhu Zhuqing's Netherworld Slash, gathered from both hands, crossed, and an X-shaped purple-black blade of light appeared behind Dai Mubai.
In an instant, blood-red light emanated from the area.
"Ah! Damn it!"
The injured Dai Mubai instantly flew into a rage, ignoring the injury on his back, and slammed his two large tiger paws forward.
The power from the Soul King-level offensive Soul Master was instantly revealed. The two Zhu Zhuqings he had been holding back were struck hard in an instant and vanished in front of Dai Mubai.
Doppelgänger!
Dai Mubai instantly realized what was happening and turned around without hesitation. Blood welled up in his mouth, and he spat it directly at Zhu Zhuqing, who had just left not far away.
Blood Tiger's Blazing Light Wave!
Even though Zhu Zhuqing immediately escaped after delivering the blow, she still didn't get very far.
A stream of crimson light shot out from Dai Mubai's mouth, reaching Zhu Zhuqing in less than ten meters, leaving almost no time for her to react.
Zhu Zhuqing could only forcefully turn her body, but she was still hit in the shoulder by this blow.
A terrifying burst of soul power erupted, and Zhu Zhuqing's figure was instantly forced back five meters.
Even the team uniform specially made by the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy had a palm-sized tear at this moment, and streaks of blood seeped from the skin.
"Zhu Zhuqing, let's see how you run this time. How much soul power do you have to unleash your fourth soul skill?"
Blood trickled down Dai Mubai's back onto the ground of the Soul Arena, but the loss of blood did not cause him any discomfort. On the contrary, his aura became even more violent.
Zhu Zhuqing, equally expressionless, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and replied.
"In that case, I'll stop running and have a fair and square showdown with you!"
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai couldn't help but chuckle, "You? You want to go toe-to-toe with a power-attack type Soul King like me? You're just an agility-attack type..."
But before Dai Mubai could finish speaking, his blood-red pupils widened instantly.
In an instant, Zhu Zhuqing's long, black hair turned snow-white, and her small cat ears transformed into larger tiger ears!
Upon seeing this, Dai Mubai in the arena and Davis in the surrounding audience exclaimed in shock.
