"I prefer one-on-one duels. Leave the Fire Leopard to me. You guys just stick to the plan, don't worry about me," Chen Xuan said, his tone brimming with confidence.
Jiangzhu looked at him, her eyes filled with concern, fearing that he might get injured again.
Zhu Zhuqing, usually cold and expressionless, showed a slight ripple of emotion when Chen Xuan made this decision.
"Are you sure?" Tang San frowned, deeply questioning Chen Xuan's strength.
From what he knew, Chen Xuan only had one attack method. Although he, like Tang San, possessed a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, the gap between him and the genius Soul Elders of the Blazing Battle Team was enormous, like the difference between heaven and earth.
"Don't worry, I've made a lot of progress recently," Chen Xuan waved his hand and walked forward, leaving only his back to them.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu's body tensed, her face turned pale, and her palms began to tremble slightly.
It wasn't just Chen Xuan; since that night, her own spirit power had also increased.
Originally at level thirty-nine, she was surprised to find that her spirit power had broken through to level forty, maybe even more.
Xiao Wu could clearly feel that if she fused with her fourth spirit ring, her spirit power would definitely exceed level forty-one, possibly reaching level forty-three at least.
However, she didn't dare to tell the others in Shrek and could only subtly ask the Grandmaster if there was a way to instantly increase spirit power.
The answer she received was that certain immortal herbs could enhance the quality of one's martial soul and increase spirit power.
But that day, even after eating the Crystal Radish, aside from some strange reactions in her body, there was no change in her spirit power.
Xiao Wu vaguely remembered that her spirit power breakthrough occurred during that intimate moment, when her spirit power gradually increased.
Thinking of this, her mind unwillingly replayed embarrassing scenes, making her feel nauseous. Especially when she thought about Chen Xuan's "thing," she felt even more disgusted and didn't dare continue thinking about it.
Yet, in the end, that extremely shameful scene still flashed in her mind.
Xiao Wu's cheeks turned red, and she became somewhat frantic. How could she have done such a disgusting thing? The thought of it made her want to throw up.
That night, she even licked...
"Xiao Wu?"
Suddenly, a voice interrupted her thoughts, bringing Xiao Wu back to reality.
"Brother San, what's wrong?" Her body stiffened as if caught in the act, nervously looking at Tang San.
Tang San just found it strange that Xiao Wu hadn't responded after calling her several times, thinking she might not have rested well.
"Never mind, it's nothing. You should get some rest," he said, dismissing his original thoughts.
Zhu Zhuqing had already entered the battle and was being targeted by two agility-type soul masters from Blazing Academy, attacked from both front and back.
As the team's control-type soul master, Tang San needed to control the field from the rear, so he had intended to send Xiao Wu to assist Zhu Zhuqing. But seeing her now, he decided against it.
Nothing was more important than his sister.
In Blazing Academy, the vice-captain Huo Wu had also not moved, standing at the back, observing the trembling members on both sides.
She was also a control-type Soul Elder, experienced and knowledgeable, just like Tang San, understanding the best position for a control-type soul master to maximize their impact, rather than blindly engaging in one-on-one duels.
Dai Mubai and Huo Wushuang were engaged in an intense duel, a battle between captains, the clash of dragon and tiger, with both giving it their all.
Huo Wushuang didn't possess a top-tier martial soul, just a high-grade one. However, with the support of two auxiliary-type team members, his combat strength had significantly increased.
Now, he felt terrifyingly strong, filled with confidence. Even if the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, the strongest beast martial soul in the world, appeared, he felt he could put up a good fight.
"Third Spirit Skill, Meteor Shower!" At this moment, at the back of the Blazing Academy team, the two auxiliary soul masters activated their strongest spirit skills, launching an extreme amplification.
Their spirit power condensed into countless sparks, like tiny dots of light, occupying half of the arena, and then entered the bodies of several members of the Blazing Battle Team.
Huo Wushuang, Huo Yan, and two others with Fire Crane martial souls, all experienced a sudden surge in strength, with their combat power skyrocketing, each one's spirit power now equivalent to a soul master of at least three levels higher.
Additionally, their spirit skills were also boosted by twenty percent.
"What a powerful auxiliary soul master!" Tang San's eyes lit up, clearly assessing the opponent's situation.
The Blazing Battle Team appeared to have two auxiliaries and one controller, but in reality, it could be seen as a formation with three controllers and three auxiliaries.
Those two inconspicuous individuals were not ordinary auxiliary soul masters but rather unique ones.
One of them provided full-team support, while the other selectively amplified a specific team member, achieving a control effect similar to Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Supporting an entire group naturally didn't have the same amplification effect as supporting a single individual, but the two from Blazing Academy complemented each other perfectly, creating a flawless combination.
Understanding all this, Tang San realized that they could no longer fight individually. He began to act, pulling Zhu Zhuqing, Tai Long, and Dai Mubai back with a sharp tug of his Blue Silver Grass.
He didn't pull Chen Xuan back, as he hadn't wrapped him with the Blue Silver Grass.
Dai Mubai and Huo Wushuang were evenly matched in spirit power and martial soul quality, making them equally skilled opponents, with no clear winner even after all this time.
Just as the two were fully engaged in their battle, Dai Mubai's body suddenly began retreating at a very fast speed.
"Don't think you can run!" Huo Wushuang noticed nothing amiss, assuming the opponent was trying to escape.
He immediately chased after him, his fists igniting with flames, aiming for Dai Mubai's chest.
However, Dai Mubai was retreating too quickly, and it didn't seem like a deliberate change in battle position—something was definitely wrong.
Unfortunately, by the time Huo Wushuang realized the anomaly, it was too late. He had already plunged deep into Shrek's territory, with no teammates nearby.
Meanwhile, Tai Long and Zhu Zhuqing reacted quickly, rushing in from both sides to form a pincer attack.
Dai Mubai, facing Huo Wushuang head-on, suddenly leaped up, his tiger palms glowing as he aimed them directly at Huo Wushuang.
"Looks like your captain is in trouble," Chen Xuan joked, still having the leisure to observe others.
Then, he quickly retreated, avoiding a flying kick.
With a loud crash, the ground cracked, scattering a pile of rubble. After missing his kick, Huo Yan continued his assault, showing no concern for Huo Wushuang's situation.
His feet were engulfed in flames, burning intensely, with the destructive power of a devil's wind kick.
He snorted coldly and said, "You should worry about yourself."
Chen Xuan reached out and caught a handful of the flying stones.
"Thanks, I was just looking for something to use as a medium," he said casually, slowly inscribing the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Chen Xuan knew that with Huo Wu present, it would be difficult for anyone on the field to get hurt—unless someone was faster than Huo Wu's reaction time.
Sure enough, when Dai Mubai, Tai Long, and Zhu Zhuqing simultaneously attacked Huo Wushuang, an unexpected event occurred.
"Third Spirit Skill, Repelling Fire Ring!"
At that moment, something strange happened. A large amount of spirit power gathered around Huo Wushuang, and in the next instant, a red hurricane erupted, spinning rapidly and carrying scorching flames, like a fiery tornado.
All three attacks landed on it, but to no effect.
On the contrary, the fiery tornado had a rebound effect, causing a huge shock to the three of them, sending them flying backward.
Dai Mubai, Tai Long, and Zhu Zhuqing were blasted to the edge of the arena but suffered no real injuries.
"Not good, Xiao San!" Dai Mubai shouted, realizing Blazing Academy's true objective.
Sure enough, after the three were sent flying, Huo Wushuang, Huo Yun, and Huo Yu from the Blazing Battle Team immediately surrounded Tang San, targeting him from three directions.
At this moment, Tang San was besieged from all sides. The three intended to eliminate Shrek's most troublesome opponent first.
Meanwhile, Dai Mubai, Tai Long, and Zhu Zhuqing were too far away to help, with a considerable distance between them.
Even Xiao Wu, who was closest, was still twenty or thirty meters away, as she had earlier gone to protect Jiangzhu and was now at the very back.
"Looks like it's your teammate who's in trouble now," Huo Yan sneered, throwing Chen Xuan's words back at him.
Chen Xuan chuckled. He might question Tang San's character and personality, but he would never doubt his overpowered abilities.
If it were truly that easy to defeat Tang San, Chen Xuan would be more than happy. He wouldn't have to worry about being assassinated anymore.
