Huo Feng had never been on the same battle stage as Tang San before. He'd heard Tang San's actions were outlandish, but seeing it firsthand today, right beside him... now he finally understood what true outrageousness meant. It was clear Tang San didn't care about the occasion at all. He just did whatever he wanted.
Even now, with Tang San making an expression that looked like he was about to die, Huo Feng couldn't be sure if he was genuinely injured or just putting on an act. After all, you can't believe everything you see these days. Sometimes, what you see and hear is just a perfectly planned script to get attention. Given Tang San's history, it was perfectly normal for people to be suspicious of him.
Huo Feng approached Tang San and found him in a strange, pained posture. Judging by the heavy sweating and his red, strained face, it didn't seem to be an act.
"Good heavens!" Huo Feng gasped. This guy... could it be? Was Tang San injured in his vital area?
If he wasn't faking, this was serious. It wasn't just about a man's dignity; it could affect his happiness for the rest of his life.
From the shock of Yu Tianheng's Second Spirit Ability, Thunderbolt, Tang San's entire lower body was numb. The only area he could feel was that one crucial region, and the sensation was... sharp. The pain made Tang San break out in a cold sweat. He vaguely heard Huo Feng's words but was completely unable to answer. He painstakingly raised one hand and vaguely pointed to his groin, trying to show that he was pretty much done for.
"Tsk tsk." Huo Feng shook his head. This kid, Tang San, was probably really crippled. This definitely didn't look like an act.
Huo Feng turned and waved toward Flender and Yu Xiaogang. He signaled to them that Tang San was almost out of commission and asked if they wanted him to leave the battle stage early. This was a team battle in the Central Spirit Arena, and it was Tang San's first time as a starter. Even though Huo Feng was the Shrek Team's captain, he decided to check with Principal Flender before making a decision.
Flender had already seen Tang San's outrageous actions. From their distance, however, they couldn't clearly see Tang San's hand movements. They didn't know if he was injured or just messing around.
Flender's expression was not good. It was one thing to mess around normally, but pulling a stunt like this in a crucial team battle... it was shameless. He had completely blacklisted Tang San in his heart. After today, Tang San would never be in the starting lineup again.
"You make the decision," Flender said, but he didn't make the call himself. Instead, he let Yu Xiaogang, who was beside him, decide.
Anyway, that guy Tang San wouldn't be on the battle stage for much longer. Besides, letting Yu Xiaogang make the decision would help him avoid blame. It would also force the master and disciple to stop having such unrealistic fantasies.
Yu Xiaogang's expression was extremely ugly. Even though Tang San clearly couldn't fight anymore, Yu Xiaogang still shook his head at Huo Feng. He was indicating that Tang San should not leave early. On the Central Spirit Arena, even someone with skin as thick as Yu Xiaogang's couldn't afford to lose face like that.
"Your master says 'no.' He won't let you leave early." Seeing Yu Xiaogang shake his head, Huo Feng immediately turned back and told Tang San the news. "Find a place to stay. No one will have time to look after you once the real team battle erupts."
After saying that, Huo Feng turned and left.
When Tang San heard the news, he completely despaired. He collapsed to the ground, motionless, just gasping for breath.
At the same time, the battle at the front was in its most intense stage.
Yu Tianheng forced his spirit power and let out an angry roar. He met Xiao Wu's pouncing body with a Lightning Dragon Claw. With the boost from Wrath of Thunder, the range and intensity of the attack had more than doubled. At Xiao Wu's charging speed, she clearly couldn't dodge it.
It was at this moment that the Shrek team's combat power finally erupted.
Xiao Wu charged right toward the Lightning Dragon Claw with no intention of stopping. The lightning in the air already caused her body to spasm slightly. Yu Tianheng only saw a blur, and then Xiao Wu's figure vanished.
The next moment, her slender body suddenly appeared right in front of him. Immediately, a long braid wrapped around his neck. Xiao Wu leaped up, using the pull from her braid to hook onto Yu Tianheng's dragon arm. Resisting the lightning power, both of her legs simultaneously kicked Yu Tianheng's abdomen.
The Soft Bones Demon Rabbit's First Spirit Ability, "Waist Bow," activated.
Yu Tianheng's large body was suddenly thrown into the air by an irresistible force. His spirit power was about ten levels higher than Xiao Wu's, and his Wrath of Thunder amplified his power by fifty percent. But his physical condition was at its lowest point. On top of that, Xiao Wu's strength had a thirty percent bonus from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. He had no chance of blocking her soft technique.
As Yu Tianheng's body flew past Dai Mubai, Dai Mubai's tiger palms slammed into his ribs.
Even though Yu Tianheng was severely injured, his combat experience was extremely rich. He barely managed to get his dragon arm up to block his chest, taking Dai Mubai's attack on that solid arm. Dai Mubai's palms had a thirty percent power bonus, and this was a charged attack after he recovered from his paralysis. Even with Yu Tianheng's excellent defense, he still ended up injured. The heavy blow sent his entire body flying even faster toward the Royal Fight Team's side.
"Boom—!"
Yu Tianheng's body slammed heavily into the carapaces of the two Black Tortoise Turtle Spirit Masters before finally stopping. Blood spurted from his wounds, and he vomited blood from his mouth. After that series of attacks, he was severely wounded. His Wrath of Thunder state was nearly shattered by the Shrek Team.
"Bastards, I'll kill you all!"
Yu Tianheng's severe injuries completely enraged the Royal Fight Team, especially the vice-captain, Dugu Yan. As Yu Tianheng's confidante, watching her man get ambushed and severely injured—and being unable to rescue him in time—was an awful feeling.
Seeing this, Huo Feng, at the back of the Shrek Team, showed a slight smile. Dugu Yan was finally going to make her move. That meant he also had to be ready to strike at any moment.
