Soul Land—Chapter 76: Zhu Zhuqing Beats Dai Mubai, Unhappy Uncle Appears
When Ma Hongjun woke up, it was already night. He was under a tree, shivering in the cold wind.
The resentment toward Ling Qianyao in his heart was hard to dissipate. He rubbed the place where Ling Qianyao had kicked him and left cursing.
Without Yu Xiaogang, Flanders, and Qin Ming proposing to let the current Shrek students join Heaven Dou Royal Academy as in the original work, only a brief mention was made that after Shrek arrived at Heaven Dou City, he could go to Qin Ming. If there was anything he needed help with, Qin Ming would do his best.
The soul-fighting training in Suotuo City officially began. Because Ling Qianyao and Dugu Yan had become soul ancestors, the Royal Fighting Team played as a group in the soul-fighting arena at the level of soul ancestor.
Unfortunately, the soul ancestors in Suotuo City were limited. With Ling Qianyao, the Royal Fighting Team was sure to win a silver-level soul-fighting badge.
Since Shrek only had six people, the shameless Flanders tied the training of the Royal Fighting Team to that of Shrek Academy during this period, asking one person from the Royal Fighting Team to help fill the vacancy every day.
Qin Ming, who was in the Royal Fighting Team but cared about Shrek, agreed without hesitation.
Of course, the weighted running training and the Royal Fighting Battle didn't need to be carried out during the day. They only needed to go to the Great Soul Fighting Arena with Tang San and the others at night.
At the same time, he, who was supposed to lead the team, was pulled to some unknown place by Flanders during the night soul-fighting sessions, under the pretext of giving the students more opportunities to exercise independently.
So, during this period's night soul-fighting sessions, a total of 13 people from the two teams would go to the Great Soul Fighting Arena at the same time to carry out their training and actual combat—without even a team leader present.
On the second night of their joint training.
"One-on-one soul fighting match, evil-eyed white tiger against Hell Star Cat."
As the staff announced, Dai Mubai's face sank, and his eyes involuntarily looked at Zhu Zhuqing in the distance.
He had observed the Royal Fighting Team at Flanders' request these past two days.
Ling Qianyao unfolded the Star Curtain, and the other team members approached the opponent under its cover, quickly launching attacks. In that soul fight, the cooperation of the Royal Fighting Team was seamless, and Ling Qianyao's strength made him feel daunted.
But Zhu Zhuqing, in that fight, did not observe her actual body from the start to the end after the game began.
Every time she reappeared, an opponent's soul master would fall, and her figure would disappear from everyone's sight like a ghost.
"Her soul skills have changed. They are no longer the inherited skills of the Hell Spirit Cat. This guy's new martial soul seems to be linked to Ling Qianyao's martial soul ability. The Star Curtain can hide her whereabouts."
Dai Mubai snorted in his heart. "The quick attack of the agile attack system is the kingly way. What kind of skill is it to assassinate in secret like you? Without Ling Qianyao's martial soul skills, you have nowhere to hide and can only be slaughtered!
Think you've found a backer and that your martial soul development is subject to others? Ridiculous. I am worried I won't have the opportunity to retaliate. Just watch how I will kill you."
He looked at Ling Qianyao from a distance, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
"Tsk..." Ling Qianyao chuckled disdainfully, then turned to Zhu Zhuqing and said, "That tiger seems very confident?"
Zhu Zhuqing slightly raised the corner of her mouth. "It's just a waste. If it weren't for Teacher Qin Ming's connection to the dean of this guy, I would have destroyed him directly this time."
"Hell Star Cat, your soul-fighting competition is about to begin. Please follow me."
The staff's voice interrupted Zhu Zhuqing and Ling Qianyao's conversation.
Zhu Zhuqing nodded, looked at Dai Mubai, who was still glaring at her with anger and murderous intent, then turned around and kissed Ling Qianyao on the lips. "I will deal with him soon."
Then she followed the staff to the passage.
"Wow~~" Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, who had also been paying attention to the Royal Fighting Team, had bright eyes. The former glanced at Dai Mubai. "Heh~"
Ning Rongrong shook her head and said mockingly, "My condolences~~"
This scene made Dai Mubai even more angry. He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the force, secretly vowing to make Zhu Zhuqing pay the price.
He couldn't stand Zhu Zhuqing looking down on him in front of everyone, and being so intimate with Ling Qianyao in his presence.
You know, she was his fiancée!
Before the Star Luo Royal Family announced the annulment of their engagement, Dai Mubai was still Zhu Zhuqing's nominal fiancé.
This feeling of humiliation and public neglect ignited the anger in his heart like a flame poured with oil, almost bursting through his chest.
"Zhu Zhuqing, you will pay the price for your arrogance and betrayal!" Dai Mubai roared softly, flicked his sleeves, and rushed toward the passage leading to the ring.
The soul guidance lights of the metal dome illuminated the arena, with Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing standing on opposite sides.
Both possessed martial souls, and their soul powers fluctuated.
"There is no martial soul induction, no martial soul resonance," Dai Mubai clenched his fists. "Damn, these two!"
His eyes flashed with evil intent, and a low roar rolled from his throat: "Zhu Zhuqing, you still have time to turn back now! Without martial soul fusion skills, you can't fight against the Star Luo Royal Family!"
Zhu Zhuqing lowered her eyes and wiped the tip of her claws. "You talk too much nonsense."
At the referee's announcement of the start, Zhu Zhuqing's figure suddenly blurred.
"First soul skill — Hell Rush Stab!"
Before Dai Mubai could open the White Tiger Shield Body Barrier, three claw marks wrapped in starlight had already torn through his chest armor, blood splattering everywhere.
"So fast!"
Dai Mubai's pupils shrank instantly. How could he know that Zhu Zhuqing, with her reshaped star cave, had gained the extra blessing brought by the star cave—without Ling Qianyao's soul skill enhancement?
The Big Dipper and the White Tiger Constellation brought her the same seven attribute enhancements as Ling Qianyao's first soul skill as well as terrifying speed and penetration.
"Third soul skill — White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
Dai Mubai's eyes turned red. The third soul ring exploded, and the shadow of a golden tiger with bulging muscles covered his entire body.
He slapped the ground with both palms, causing bricks and stones of the arena to collapse. "Second soul skill — White Tiger Intense Light Wave!" A blazing white light ball shot out from his mouth, sweeping across the arena. Zhu Zhuqing lightly tapped her toes and took off into the air with the recoil.
Dai Mubai's attention was immediately drawn, and he controlled the White Tiger Intense Light Wave to attack Zhu Zhuqing.
"Boom—"
Zhu Zhuqing, mid-air, was struck by this attack and instantly dissipated under the bombardment of the White Tiger Intense Light Wave.
Before Dai Mubai could rejoice, a sharp sound breaking through the air suddenly sounded behind him.
"Third soul skill — Star Shadow Phantom Kill!"
Dai Mubai panicked, and the White Tiger Shield Body Barrier instantly activated.
"Ping ping-bang!"
In his shocked eyes, his first defensive soul skill, blessed by the third soul skill, was cracked inch by inch under Zhu Zhuqing's attack. The eclipse effect was even more painful to his nerves.
At this moment, he finally understood why Zhu Zhuqing, protected by Ling Qianyao's soul skill, could take down an opponent every time she appeared.
This eclipse effect was simply the nemesis of defence-type soul skill!
On the stands, Ling Qianyao nodded. Suddenly, his eyes shifted slightly, and his gaze was cast toward a corner of the soul-fighting field, where a middle-aged man with dark skin and a lewd smile on his lips sat.
Ling Qianyao glanced at him, then looked at Dai Mubai, who was vomiting blood on the stage, contemplating.
