"Your Majesty, humans are cunning. Your subordinate is worried that you might be deceived by this person!"
Mo Ba Si gritted his teeth, advising Queen Medusa with a loyal face.
"Hmm?"
"Mo Ba Si, are you teaching this queen how to do things?"
Queen Medusa narrowed her eyes, her icy gaze almost freezing the latter.
"Your subordinate dares not. It's just that the humans are the archenemy of my Snake People Tribe. He cannot be trusted easily!"
Mo Ba Si stiffened his neck, with an attitude of earnestness.
The leaders of other tribes also cast curious glances. Although they had learned from Yue Mei and Hua She'er about Yun Tianming's extraordinary background, they still hadn't witnessed his abilities firsthand. They held a slight disdain for this young human in their hearts.
Yun Tianming swept his gaze, capturing the expressions of the people from the Snake People Tribe. He thought that to conquer Queen Medusa, he must first make the Snake People Tribe submit.
"Leader Mo Ba Si, is it? Are you sure you want to challenge me?"
Yun Tianming's tone was calm, not even bothering to look directly at Mo Ba Si.
"Exactly! Human, do you dare accept my challenge?"
Mo Ba Si glared at him fiercely.
"Mo Ba Si, don't court death!"
Queen Medusa coldly reprimanded.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will show mercy."
Yun Tianming nodded slightly towards her with a smile.
"You should reconsider. Consider it a lesson for him."
Seeing the situation, Queen Medusa didn't continue to stop him. She waved her hand dismissively, as if she couldn't bear to watch.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Mo Ba Si was already consumed with rage, bursting with Dou Qi at the level of a Dou King, and swiftly flew towards him.
"Cunning human, let me see what you're capable of!"
"Swoosh!"
Yun Tianming unfurled his Dark Feather Wings, effortlessly dodging the opponent's attack.
"Huh? Isn't this Dou Qi Wings? Are you a Dou King??"
Mo Ba Si's expression froze, looking incredulously at Yun Tianming before him.
"Huh? Did I perceive it wrong? Why do I feel like this Yun young master seems to only be at the Dou Spirit level?"
"7 Star Dou Spirit. Considering his age, he seems to be an extraordinary genius."
"But isn't a Dou Spirit no match for a Dou King?"
The leaders discussed one after another. Among the Snake People, there were plenty at the Dou Spirit level, but only those who became Dou Kings were qualified to lead a tribe.
"I never claimed to be a powerful Dou King."
Yun Tianming said honestly.
"You little rascal! What gives you the audacity?!"
Mo Ba Si's face twisted in fury. The thought of this insignificant Dou Spirit human daring to speak alongside the noble Queen made him seethe with jealousy!
Green Dou Qi transformed into a giant energy snake, lunging towards Yun Tianming with a bite.
"Perfect timing. Let's test out my new Heavenly Flame!"
Yun Tianming's mind stirred, and he summoned the Green Ocean Lotus Flame with his palm, a tranquil azure flame forming into a flaming spear. Condensing Dou Qi into a form! This was also a symbol of Dou Spirit's ability!
"Sizzle!"
The flaming spear clashed head-on with the energy snake, the latter melting away rapidly like snowflakes landing on hot iron.
"What?! Heavenly Flame!!"
Mo Ba Si was instantly shocked, his once icy blood now feeling scalding hot.
"This is the power of Heavenly Flame."
Queen Medusa squinted, following the Snake People Tribe's evolutionary Secret Technique, she needed to expose her whole body to the burning of the Heavenly Flame.
"What a terrifying power! Young Master Yun can actually, with the strength of a Dou Spirit, contend against a Dou King?"
"No! Not contend, but overpower!"
The shocked leaders discovered that Yun Tianming's Dou Qi intensity not only did not weaken compared to Mo Ba Si's, but instead, it seemed to have a trend of suppressing the latter!
"Boom!"
In the sky, their weapons clashed, then they each retreated. Mo Ba Si stepped back more than ten steps, while Yun Tianming only took three steps back.
"This is impossible!"
Mo Ba Si stared blankly at his steel blade, which had been melted to red and cracked extensively.
He, a 7 Star Dou King, was barely holding his ground against a 7 Star Dou Spirit. Are you sure you didn't mix up their levels?
"Let's end this boring probing."
"Your opponent is me."
Queen Medusa seemed to have anticipated this, urging in a neutral tone.
"Apologies~ for keeping Your Majesty waiting."
Yun Tianming appeared throughout the entire process as if he was effortlessly handling it, not paying any attention to Mo Ba Si before him.
"You despicable human! I'll take you on!!"
Mo Ba Si's eyes turned bloodshot as he concentrated all his Dou Qi, gathering it on the steel blade in his hand, emitting a sharp light.
"Ink Snake Slash!!"
This was the strongest move passed down through generations of the Ink Snake Tribe, a Black Rank High-level Dou Technique!
"Let's finish it in one move."
Yun Tianming's expression became serious as he infused the power of Heavenly Flame into his wings, forming a pair of azure flame wings stretching tens of meters.
"Soaring Phoenix!"
An Earth Rank Low-Level Dou Technique!
!
"Whoosh—!!"
The two figures crossed paths in the sky.
"Crack—"
With a crisp sound, the steel blade in Mo Ba Si's hand shattered, and he was engulfed in azure flames.
"Ahhhh!"
Mo Ba Si fell to the ground, howling in agony.
"Defeated. Mo Ba Si actually lost?"
Witnessing this scene, the leaders were incredulous. Mo Ba Si's strength ranked in the top three among the eight leaders, yet he was easily defeated by a Dou Spirit-level human?
"Truly worthy of Young Master Yun!"
Yue Mei and Hua She'er simultaneously cast admiring gazes. Not only was he generous, but his strength was also formidable. They must stick close to such a strong ally!
"That's enough, all of you back off."
Queen Medusa ordered coldly.
Yun Tianming snapped his fingers, extinguishing the azure flames on Mo Ba Si, leaving him charred and barely alive, carried away by other Snake People.
"Your Majesty, are you going to personally intervene?"
"Although Young Master Yun's Heavenly Flame is strong, he surely can't be a match for Your Majesty, right?"
Yue Mei said with a worried expression.
Ultimately, there's a full two-tier difference between a Dou Spirit and a Dou Emperor. Not to mention, Queen Medusa isn't just any Dou Emperor; she's a super powerhouse at the pinnacle of Dou Emperors!!
"Your Majesty, I know your Qi Method is extremely powerful."
"Under normal circumstances, even three days and three nights wouldn't finish a sparring session."
"I don't like to procrastinate!"
Queen Medusa, wielding a serpent-shaped longsword, pointed towards him from afar. The overwhelming Dou Qi emanating from her soared into the sky, causing distortions in the surrounding space!
"Oh? Has this Dou Qi already stepped half a foot into the realm of Dou Ancestor?"
Yun Tianming's pupils slightly contracted, his expression becoming serious.
The gap between a 7 Star Dou Spirit and a Half-step Dou Ancestor is no joke!
"One move."
Queen Medusa's red lips parted slightly, her cold voice tinged with a hint of anticipation. "If you can withstand it, I'll acknowledge your strength!"
