Chapter 224: Indiscriminate, Ruthless, No Friend or Foe Bombardment
Hu Jia and Te Teng's battle was moved to the side, and honestly, no one expected much from it.
Hu Jia swung her whip with precision, the sharp "PAH PAH" sound echoing through the air as it struck Te Teng, who groaned in "pain."
Whether he was actually hurt or just putting on a show, no one could tell. But between the sound of the whip and Te Teng's exaggerated cries, it sure sounded painful.
Just like that, one of the three Dou Ling fighters was neutralized.
The remaining two, however, weren't as easy to deal with.
Their gazes hardened as they locked onto Lin Yan and Xun'er.
Even though Xun'er hadn't used her full strength yet, the golden flames she wielded were enough to instill fear in anyone.
And Lin Yan… well, he was Lin Yan. A madman who had only grown stronger ever since Wu Tian helped remove his fire poison.
A few months ago, he might have been evenly matched with these two.
But now?
Not necessarily.
The entire arena held its breath.
No one even dared to blink, afraid they might miss the upcoming battle.
Then
BOOM!
Explosive auras erupted as all four fighters unleashed their Dou Qi at once.
The sheer force of their energy clashing sent electrical sparks crackling in the air.
"CRACK CRACK "
The sharp sound of energy colliding, reminiscent of bones snapping, sent chills down everyone's spine.
"BOOM!"
A massive shockwave burst forth, kicking up a thick cloud of dust, obscuring the stage.
And in that instant
The fight began.
Each exchange of blows stirred up the dust, creating whirlwinds of debris that spiraled into the air.
It was chaotic.
It was dangerous.
Yet, at the same time, it was breathtakingly beautiful.
Even Lin Xiuya and Yan Hao, watching from above, couldn't help but admire the battle.
They had never underestimated anyone especially not the top thirty fighters on the Strong Ranking.
Every single one of them had trump cards, secret techniques they only unleashed at the right moment.
Most of them were saving their hidden powers for the upcoming Strong Ranking tournament in six months.
But now
These four were already revealing their trump cards.
Xun'er's strength wasn't a surprise anymore. She was a new student, yet she held her own even while seemingly at a disadvantage.
That alone proved how terrifying she was.
The other two Dou Ling fighters were just as shocking.
Especially Shi Lei his earth type Dou Qi made him an absolute menace in this environment.
The swirling sand and dust enhanced his mobility, making his massive frame eerily agile.
His movements were impossible to predict a giant that moved like a shadow.
As for the other opponent, he wielded water type Dou Qi.
Even with all the dust surrounding him, he remained unharmed, his Qi forming a protective armor around his body.
No matter how many times Xun'er's golden flames struck, they couldn't break through his defenses.
The sight excited him.
Smirking, he snapped open his folding fan and sent a water imbued gust of wind roaring toward Xun'er.
Xun'er's eyes narrowed slightly, her delicate figure stepping back as her lips curled into a playful smirk.
Watching from above, Wu Tian shook his head in amusement.
She's playing around.
If she were serious, even a Dou Wang wouldn't be able to make her retreat.
She's just… enjoying herself.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield
Lin Yan was going feral.
Like a demon straight out of hell, he was tearing through Shi Lei's defenses with reckless abandon.
Shi Lei may have had an advantage in mobility, but Lin Yan didn't care.
Lin Yan didn't dodge.
Lin Yan didn't block.
All he did was attack, attack, attack.
He was trading blows like a lunatic, completely ignoring his own safety.
Not even Magical Beasts fought this way.
It was terrifying.
Shi Lei, despite his hulking size, was frantically dodging, his face dripping with sweat.
He was starting to realize something horrifying.
Lin Yan didn't care if he got hurt.
If Shi Lei went all out, Lin Yan would go all out too.
And if that happened someone was going to die.
Shi Lei didn't come here to die.
This was supposed to be a simple arena match, not a deathmatch.
So, despite being stronger, Shi Lei couldn't afford to fight at full power.
And that… was exactly what Lin Yan wanted.
Lin Yan's fighting style was so insane that even fighters stronger than him actively avoided him.
If he decided he wanted to fight you
There was no escape.
If you refused to fight, he would camp outside your faction's base and beat up everyone who walked out until you accepted his challenge.
And even if you won…
He'd still keep challenging you again and again until you were completely drained of Fire Energy.
In the Inner Academy, even the strongest fighters hated dealing with him.
Because once Lin Yan set his sights on you he never let go.
Shi Lei was now living that nightmare firsthand.
He just hoped his teammates could finish off those two girls quickly and come save him.
Unfortunately
That wasn't going to happen.
Because over on Hu Jia's side, things were… going very differently.
Her fiery red outfit clung to her toned figure, and her long legs had already stolen the hearts of countless male spectators.
Including her opponent, Te Teng.
For Te Teng, this was torture.
He was already completely captivated by her beauty.
But he couldn't make a move on her.
Because if he did…
Hu Qian, her grandfather, would make sure his life became a living hell.
So instead, he just kept pretending to fight while making sure to "lose" convincingly.
Now, Hu Jia's expression was growing darker.
She could tell.
She was the weakest among them.
If she didn't start taking things seriously, she'd never be able to truly help Wu Tian.
Meanwhile, over on Xun'er's side
A playful smile formed on her lips.
Then
A pair of radiant, golden wings unfolded from her back.
And in an instant
She soared into the sky.
"S She has Dou Qi Wings?!"
The crowd erupted into chaos.
"No… wait! That's not Dou Qi Wings it's a flight technique! That's even rarer!"
"A flight technique?! This… this girl is beyond amazing!"
Xun'er looked like a celestial being as she floated gracefully in the air.
She then glanced down at her enemies and smiled sweetly.
And then
She started throwing fireballs.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
Lin Yan looked up and his face twisted in horror.
"HOLY SH*T SHE'S JUST BOMBING EVERYONE INDISCRIMINATELY!"
Hu Jia's eyes widened in panic.
Without hesitation
She jumped off the stage.
