Upon hearing Ye Yu's words, the seven members of Davis's team let out a sigh of relief, slightly stunned, as they realized he wasn't going to strike.
This left them in a position to fight seven against six. Although the opponent, like them, was also a Four-Ring Soul Sect, Shrek, except for Dai Mubai, was all barely above level forty, while they were all above level forty-five. With Ye Yu not joining the fight, there was hope.
Ye Yu sat down cross-legged and said to Oscar, "Come, let's play Gobang."
"Sure, Boss Yu, finally I can play chess with you."
Although Davis and his team felt awkward, they were pleased as Ye Yu truly kept his hands off.
Originally, it was planned to first deal with the opponent's Food Assistance Type, but instead, a chess game with Ye Yu commenced. Even though Ye Yu abstained from the battle, it was equivalent to protecting the Support Type.
Davis asked, "If we attack him, will you interfere?"
Ye Yu replied, "Of course. If anyone dares to come near while I'm playing chess with him, I'll kick them off the stage."
Upon hearing this, the team hesitated: "But in team fights, prioritizing to deal with the opponent's Support Type is basic common sense. If attacking him makes you act, that's just protecting him, and it doesn't count as abstaining from action."
"Is that so? Well, if you attack him, then attack me as well."
Ye Yu's words left Davis's team dumbfounded and puzzled.
"Why?"
Ye Yu answered, "Because I'm Support too."
"What?!!"
Immediately, Davis's team was utterly shocked. Support Type?
Though they knew Ye Yu's Martial Soul was a plant, they assumed it was a Strong Attack Plant Type, given his terrifying soul rings, but it turned out he was Support Type? How could that be?
At the same time, others were also very surprised, guessing Ye Yu was Strong Attack Type and considering him least likely to be Support Type.
Simultaneously, members of the Divine Wind Team, including Huo Wu, were completely stunned. Ye Yu was indeed Support Type...
Thinking back on the previous battles, their minds were swept by shockwaves.
All the VIP members on the platform were equally incredulous; how could this be?
Davis asked, horrified, "Support Type? This is impossible! With such terrifying soul ring configurations, how could you be the weakest Support?"
Ye Yu casually fabricated a reason: "Because I was lucky, the soul beasts I absorbed willingly let me absorb them."
"Willingly absorbed..."
Instantly, everyone was in shock yet again.
While instances of willingly absorbed soul beasts exist, it's unprecedented. Soul beasts loathe humans and are hunted down, how could they voluntarily allow absorption?
It's akin to expecting a mortal enemy to willingly serve as a pawn; that's impossible.
Soul beasts willingly being absorbed indeed makes it much easier, but everyone felt this method of absorption was impossible.
After the astonishment, the Martial Soul Hall Bishop felt slightly disappointed: "Originally thought he was Strong Attack Type, but he's actually Support. However, if his support abilities are strong, that's good too. But there are only a few Martial Souls known for strong support abilities, his Martial Soul is unheard of."
Though supportive roles are popular, it depends on the type of support. Like Ning Fengzhi's support, valued more than several Strong Attack Type Titled Douluos, but if the support ability is poor, naturally it holds less value than Strong Attack Type.
On the stage, Davis's team, after their initial shock, felt relieved.
The seven exchanged glances and smiled.
Davis took a deep breath, his tone less heavy.
"I never expected you were Support Type, completely unexpected. I thought you were Strong Attack Type. Then, what difference does it make even if you take action?"
Zhu Zuyun said arrogantly and disdainfully, "Since you're Support Type, then we're not afraid. Even if you're a Five-Ring Soul King with scary soul ring configurations, you're still just Support. If you join, we're confident in defeating you. Unless your support ability is as frightening as the Seven Treasures Glaze Tower, but that's clearly impossible. Your Martial Soul is the Wasted Martial Soul Black-tailed Flower, your support ability must be very poor. Therefore, even though you're a Soul King, any one of us can easily beat you."
"Come on, you join the fight too! Since this is a team battle, we fight fairly, seven against seven! Otherwise, beating us wouldn't be honorable!"
The spectators were all disdainful; they were previously frightened by the opponent, now seeing him as Support Type, they feared no more and spoke such words.
Ye Yu countered, "Are you sure you want me to take action?"
"Of course!" Davis nodded proudly.
Watching this scene, Dai Mubai and his group looked at Davis's team and simultaneously uttered two words: "Idiots!"
"Hm?"
Immediately, Davis, Zhu Zuyun, and the rest of the team turned serious.
"We're idiots? Hmph, we were just scared of him before. If he's just a Wasted Martial Soul Support Type Soul King, then there's nothing to fear."
"Alright, then I'll take action."
Reluctantly, Ye Yu stood up and said, "Xiao San, you guys don't have to act."
"Okay!"
Ye Yu's words and Tang San's group's response left Davis and his team stunned, then they laughed heartily.
"Hey, Support, you're going to fight us seven on your own?"
"Yes." Ye Yu nodded.
"Hahahaha..."
Davis and the other six laughed until they almost fell over.
"It's hilarious, a Wasted Martial Soul Support Type challenging us seven, even funnier, his teammates all agreed not to act, hahahaha..."
Davis looked at Dai Mubai disdainfully, mocking, "My foolish brother, I think you're the true idiot!"
However, facing all this, Dai Mubai and his group said nothing, soon enough their smiles disappeared.
Meanwhile, the spectators were also perplexed.
"Though he's a Soul King with terrifying soul ring ages, his Martial Soul is the Wasted Martial Soul Black-tailed Flower, and Support Type is the weakest among Soul Master types. Even if he's a Soul King, his individual strength as a Support isn't much more than a Grand Soul Master level, right?"
"I agree, can't fathom why he's doing this."
"Originally thought he was impressive, but since he's Support, clearly not that impressive. Although his soul ring and soul power level is terrifying, making him stand out, the Sect Leader of the Seven Treasures Glaze Tower is also outstanding but isn't foolish enough to face alone; Titled Douluos protect him precisely because Ning Fengzhi is outstanding, but only in support ability, not personal strength."
"The real fools are Shrek Team indeed."
...
Ye Yu ignored the comments, his soul rings glowing, immediately applying his second, third, and fifth soul skills to himself.
Bang!
Ye Yu stomped, instantly vanishing from his spot, the shattered stage stones hadn't even scattered, Ye Yu had already disappeared.
0.01 seconds later, Davis and his team reacted in horror, but it was too late.
Bang!
Ye Yu dashed before Davis, delivering a punch, sending Davis flying.
The second punch sent Zhu Zuyun soaring.
After sending three flying, the remaining four had time to counterattack, yet when their fists collided with Ye Yu's, the sound of bones cracking was heard, followed by screams as they flew away.
Bang bang bang bang…
Four dull thuds combined with screams echoed nearly simultaneously.
In just three seconds, Davis's team was all flown out, nearly simultaneously crashing by the stage edge.
The seven coughed blood, utterly shocked.
Bang bang bang…
Watching Ye Yu approach, Davis's team had no time for shock, hurriedly and fearfully said, "We were wrong! Please go back to playing chess and stop attacking us."
Upon hearing them, Ye Yu approached and landed a fierce kick to each of their faces.
"I took action to make you realize how foolish you are. Do you think you tell me to fight, I fight, and when told not to, I won't?
Bang bang bang!!
Ye Yu kept stepping, leaving a trail of shoe prints on their faces.
