Uh, Ye Feng was stunned. Blazing Academy actually sent out Dai Mubai, who was at the Spirit Ancestor level, so quickly. Ye Feng had already guessed a rough idea of Blazing Academy's tactics.
"Dai Mubai." Ye Feng stared at Dai Mubai and shouted, "You betrayed Shrek Academy, and you still have the nerve to fight me?"
Dai Mubai looked serious and disapproving, and said angrily, "Ye Feng, it was you who didn't let me play and excluded me, so I had no choice but to leave Shrek Academy."
"Heh, Dai Mubai, do you believe what you just said? Didn't I tell you? The reason I didn't let you play was because I wanted to hide your strength. Only by catching them off guard can we strike with an advantage."
"Aren't you excluding me?"
"Give me a reason why I should exclude you."
"Reason... reason..." Dai Mubai stammered, searching for an explanation. "But that's what Xiao San said."
Dai Mubai wanted to justify himself, but he couldn't find a reasonable reason even after searching for a long time.
"Xiao San? You mean... Tang San?" Ye Feng frowned and glanced at Tang San, who was watching the match.
Tang San's heart trembled. Damn it.
"Yes," Dai Mubai nodded.
"Why did he say that?" Ye Feng asked.
Dai Mubai was confused. Yeah, why did Tang San say that Ye Feng excluded me?
"Could it be because of his teacher?" Ye Feng continued, sorting out the key points for Dai Mubai.
"His teacher?"
"I see now. Because Liu Erlong took the position of team leader, Yu Xiaogang left Shrek Academy and went to Blazing Academy. Yu Xiaogang is useless. He wants to prove himself, and the only way to do that is through his theory about martial spirits. He needs excellent students to validate his theories and make Blazing Academy stand out in the competition. So Tang San manipulated you into going to Blazing Academy."
Ye Feng's words sounded so logical that Dai Mubai's eyes flickered as he looked at Ye Feng in a daze. His heart wavered—he wasn't sure if Ye Feng was telling the truth or not.
"In the second match, Blazing Academy sent Dai Mubai. It is worth mentioning that Dai Mubai originally belonged to Shrek Academy, but for some reason, he ended up joining Blazing Academy. In any case, this match will definitely be intense," the announcer's voice echoed through the arena.
"Dai Mubai, what you said really hurts the hearts of the teachers in Shrek Academy who worked so hard to train you," Ye Feng mocked him further, his eyes glancing at Tang San from the corner. His target wasn't just Dai Mubai.
Uh!
Dai Mubai was stunned. His eyes flickered as he looked toward the teachers of Shrek Academy—especially Flender, Zhao Wuji, and the others.
"The match begins!"
"White Tiger Possession!"
With a thought, four spirit rings appeared under Dai Mubai's feet. A pale light erupted from his body, his muscles suddenly swelling as his golden hair instantly turned black and white, with white as the dominant color. A "king"-shaped pattern appeared on his forehead, his hands doubled in size, and white fur covered his palms. Claws as long as eight inches extended from his fingers, and his eyes turned a deep blue.
Fourth Spirit Skill, White Tiger Meteor Shower!
Dai Mubai launched a barrage of golden light spheres, each the size of a fist, spreading out from his body toward Ye Feng.
"The attack has a focal point, which means there are blind spots in vision," Ye Feng's voice suddenly echoed from above Dai Mubai's head.
Not good!
Dai Mubai realized it too late.
Before he could react, Ye Feng had already dropped from the sky, his legs carrying the weight of a thousand pounds.
Dai Mubai instinctively raised his arms to block the impact.
Bang!
The powerful force crashed down on him, sending a tremor through his arms and driving him straight into the ground. Kneeling on one knee, cracks spiderwebbed across the arena floor beneath him.
"Traitor!" Ye Feng's voice rang coldly in Dai Mubai's ears.
With the added agility from his system, Ye Feng's movements weren't inferior to an Agility-type Spirit King. Taking advantage of his successful strike, Ye Feng swiftly spun around and delivered a kick straight to Dai Mubai's back.
Bang!
The impact sent Dai Mubai flying out of the ring, crashing into the wall beneath the spectator stands. Cracks spread across the wall from the impact.
"You..." Dai Mubai glared at Ye Feng in frustration.
"In the second match, Ye Feng of Shrek Academy wins!"
The referee's voice rang out.
On the VIP platform, Emperor Xue Ye stroked his beard, praising, "What a brilliant young talent. Not only does he have strength, but he also understands psychological warfare. Brave and intelligent indeed."
Ning Fengzhi nodded proudly, quite satisfied with Ye Feng's performance.
But suddenly, Ning Fengzhi's pupils shrank as he turned his gaze toward Platinum Bishop Salas. The more dazzling Ye Feng's performance was, the stronger Salas's hostility toward him would be.
As a Spirit Douluo, Salas immediately noticed Ning Fengzhi's look and smirked.
"Master Ning, why are you looking at me like that?"
Ning Fengzhi: "..."
Ning Fengzhi was momentarily speechless.
Salas chuckled. "Master Ning, congratulations to Chen Xin for training such a fine disciple. With this level of talent, no wonder our Pope suddenly came to Heaven Dou City."
"Pope?" Ning Fengzhi was stunned. He suddenly recalled that when Ye Feng had been in trouble during the preliminaries, Bibi Dong had personally shown up to reprimand Salas, just to save Ye Feng from punishment.
"Pope?"
Emperor Xue Ye frowned, his expression uneasy.
Princess Xue Ke was nowhere near as beautiful as Bibi Dong. If Bibi Dong was truly interested in Ye Feng, then Heaven Dou Empire would have a hard time keeping such an exceptional talent.
Sigh.
Emperor Xue Ye could only sigh while looking at Ye Feng. He had already done everything possible—even gifting Ye Feng the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. Now, it was up to Ye Feng to decide whether he would support the Heaven Dou Empire or Spirit Hall after graduation.
On the sidelines, Tang San walked over to Dai Mubai.
"Mubai, are you okay?"
"I'm fine," Dai Mubai shook his head. Though he wasn't seriously injured, his wounds would be enough to keep him bedridden for a month. He wouldn't be able to participate in the next matches.
"Mubai, you were tricked by him."
"Tricked?"
"Yes. Ye Feng was playing you from the very beginning. He deliberately said all those things to shake your confidence. Once your heart wavered, so did your fighting spirit. That's why you used your fourth spirit skill right away. Tell me, how could you possibly beat Ye Feng like that?" Tang San analyzed.
"No way..."
Dai Mubai looked toward Ye Feng, meeting his confident gaze.
His expression went blank.
Dai Mubai frowned and clenched his fists, but as soon as he did, pain shot through his body. Gritting his teeth, he gasped in pain, eyes filled with unwillingness.
Suddenly, he coughed up a mouthful of blood. His qi and blood surged violently, and in the next moment, he collapsed unconscious on the spot.
"Hmph, he deserves it."
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dai Mubai's condition with mockery in her eyes.
In the following three matches, Ye Feng easily defeated Blazing Academy's remaining players.
"In the next match, contestant Tang San from Blazing Academy, please take the stage!"
