Ma Hongjun said, "Third Brother, why did you completely block her uncontrollable fireball just now? She wanted to go down with you, so let her die. But you blocked it entirely."
Tang San smiled bitterly, "She's just a competitive girl. As a man, should I really strike down a delicate flower?"
Mubai said angrily, "That's just being competitive? I think she's psychologically abnormal. Even if she dies, it's no loss, but you go soft-handed. Don't forget she just wanted to kill you."
Master said, "Xiao San's approach was indeed correct."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu and the others, extremely furious, were puzzled.
"Master, you still say he was correct? Obviously, he could have let that Fierce Huo Wu bear her own attack, but he took it all on himself. It's one thing to lose, but to be seriously injured..."
"Yeah, it's infuriating."
Master explained, "Doing this is also for the reputation of our academy. The Five Elements Academy share a strong bond. If we really crushed Blazing Fire, the other four academies would certainly unite against us. If, at that time, Huo Wu had to bear it, she'd be dead, and as Blazing Fire's prodigy, her death would bring retaliations we couldn't handle, which isn't what Xiao San wants to see. He didn't want the academy or you to get entangled because of his actions. You're all still students, without deep-seated hatred, so he chose such an outcome. Xiao San chose to bear the attack, probably knowing he wouldn't suffer real harm."
Master's words enlightened Xiao Wu and others, but they still felt unbalanced inside.
Master treats Tang San like a child, naturally distressed when Tang San is hurt, but also rational.
Tang San's injury wasn't serious, rationality took precedence, and after analyzing, it was certain that Tang San thought this way.
Tang San said, "Teacher analyzed a lot, and this is indeed what I was thinking."
"Worried about all four academies uniting against us, worried about Blazing Fire's reprisal?"
Just then, Ye Yu, who had been silent, spoke.
Tang San: "Brother Yu…"
Ye Yu said in a deep voice, "What if they unite against us, what about reprisal? Is Blazing Fire one of the Upper Three Sects? The Seven Monsters together, using hidden weapons, can even kill someone as powerful as Aunt Er'long, a Soul Saint. Moreover, we have Teacher Zhao, Dean Flande, Aunt Er'long, none of them fear trouble or their reprisal. The dean said, a Soul Master who doesn't dare to cause trouble isn't a good Soul Master. Blazing Fire's reprisal won't overwhelm us."
"The opponent wanted to go down with you; you could've let her bear it alone, let her go down if that's what she wanted, but you alone took it all, that's just foolishness."
Ye Yu left the room, coldly saying, "Next, I'll fight."
Ye Yu's words made Tang San thoughtful, perhaps, he really was too soft-hearted.
Being hurt himself was within tolerable range, knowing even if Huo Wu was hurt, their reprisal could be handled, yet he chose to bear it alone.
Ma Hongjun nodded, "I think Boss Yu is right. Blazing Fire isn't as extremely powerful as the Upper Three Sects; we can't face their reprisal now, but we can handle Blazing Fire, Third Brother didn't have to do that."
Oscar nodded, "Yes, although Third Brother's way spared Huo Wu from serious injury and won't lead to reprisal, if the competition continues, what if others use the same attack method? Will Third Brother always choose to bear all attacks alone to avoid provoking reprisal?"
Tang San sighed lightly, "I was wrong, facing a girl, I really didn't harden my heart. Just now I could've let her bear it too; she wouldn't die, would be seriously injured, yet I took it all myself, it was indeed wrong."
"Third Brother, you rest, we'll watch how Boss Yu handles Huo Wu."
Oscar and others couldn't wait to spectate.
As Ye Yu entered, the Blazing Fire team immediately became uneasy.
"Huo Wu, just admit defeat. After fighting Tang San, your soul power is significantly depleted, and you're also somewhat injured."
However, Huo Wu's competitive nature wouldn't let her surrender.
"I don't concede."
Huo Wu jumped onto the stage directly.
Ye Yu, after getting on stage, said blandly, "Your soul power is consumed, and you're injured. I won't use Martial Soul or Soul Techniques."
Huo Wu said, "There's no need. Tang San just used a lot of soul power against six, but I didn't hold back; you don't have to either; that's what a competition is."
Ye Yu said, "You misunderstood. I'm not considering you; it's because in your current state, using my Martial Soul would insult my strength. With just Body Techniques, I can defeat you."
Upon hearing this, Huo Wu was furious, "Even though my soul power is depleted, I've recovered most of it, and the injury isn't severe. Don't underestimate me."
Ye Yu said blandly, "I am underestimating you."
Seeing Ye Yu's unfriendly gaze, Feng Xiaotian was somewhat panicked, knowing Ye Yu's strength. Before, he easily knocked out Celestial Water's members with just his own power.
Feng Xiaotian shouted, "Ye Yu, winning is enough, learn from Tang San, don't be too harsh on women."
Ye Yu looked Feng Xiaotian straight in the eye, saying directly, "I will be harsh."
"You! You're such a steel-hearted man!" Feng Xiaotian said angrily and disdainfully.
Ye Yu replied blandly, "A woman can go all out; being lenient must be based on the other's leniency too. If you go soft-handed, then it's just like you, a simp."
Feng Xiaotian frowned, "What does 'simp' mean?"
Ye Yu explained, "It's blindly trying to please others, often found when a guy pursues a girl."
Feng Xiaotian snorted lightly, "Even so, I am willing to be Huo Wu's simp."
"Then you'll wait to be kicked."
Ye Yu coldly looked at Huo Wu, "Make a move."
Huo Wu frowned, releasing her Martial Soul, Fire Shadow.
Ye Yu charged violently, insanely fast, surprising Huo Wu, "So fast!"
She immediately used the Third Soul Skill, Resistance Fire Ring. However, when Ye Yu approached the resistance range, her eyes widened because Ye Yu was not bounced away.
Resistance Fire Ring's soul skill had a coverage range of sixty meters. Ye Yu entered this range, unhindered, closing fast. The closer one gets, the stronger the resistance, yet Ye Yu's speed didn't decrease.
Knowing Ye Yu's terrifying power, four of Huo Wu's Soul Rings rhythmically fused together.
Oscar and others watching the battle felt the same as the previous battle; this is Fusion Ring, not a technique but a talent.
Some very special Soul Masters have this ability.
Fusion Ring is the simultaneous release of the output power of several soul rings, instantly releasing Soul Power massively.
Fusion Ring has high explosiveness but also consumes a lot of Soul Power.
A blazing and highly explosive white fireball came flying; Ye Yu, with strong senses, easily dodged it with his speed, close at hand to Huo Wu.
Seeing Ye Yu's fist coming, Huo Wu was unwilling. Is she going to lose?
She was unwilling and directly opened her arms.
Oscar and others' faces changed slightly, this scene was all too similar, exactly like the previous battle.
The Blazing Fire team sneered, "Huo Wu is using the same method again, but it's fine, this go-down-together strategy, believe Ye Yu will make the same choice as Tang San. Worrying about retaliation and reprisal from our academies, choosing to bear the fireball's attack like Tang San."
"Will he do that?"
"Definitely, Shrek Academy, a completely unheard-of academy, how dare they risk enmity with our Blazing Fire Academy?"
Listening to Blazing Fire team's discussions, Dai Mubai and the others were angry.
"Third Brother did it not wanting to bother arguing with girls, did you really think we're easy to bully and don't dare to provoke you?"
