Chapter 227: Building the Rampart of Wind

The first to take the stage for the Shrek Team was Dai Mubai.

According to the Seven Treasure Team's previous arrangements, Feng Xiaotian was always the first to take the stage whenever they encountered a strong team; no one expected it to be changed to Wu Qi this time.

Of course, this did not affect Tang San's arrangements.

Yu Tianheng was responsible for consuming a large amount of Wu Qi's soul power, so that after Dai Mubai took the stage, he could easily eliminate him.

As for Tang San, he was saving his strength to defeat the remaining Soul King—Feng Xiaotian!

For the teams watching the match, this was Wu Qi's first appearance in the Promotion Tournament.

Feng Xiaotian's strength was incomparably powerful, yet he was only the vice-captain of the Seven Treasure Team.

So, would the strength of this captain be even greater?

Wu Qi's soul ring configuration had been exposed during the Preliminary Tournament and was no longer a secret.

But no one felt that he had become captain because of his soul ring configuration; his personal strength must be even stronger!

Yu Tianheng was surprised by his order of appearance, but he did not pay it much mind.

"Back then, we didn't determine a winner at Tiandou Huangjia Xueyuan, today—"

Wu Qi couldn't be bothered to bicker with him and forcefully interrupted: "Yu Tianheng, does your strength rely entirely on your glib tongue?"

Having lost face, Yu Tianheng snorted coldly: "Enough talk, let's see the real deal in the ring!"

The match began.

Yu Tianheng understood that his task was primarily to consume the opponent's soul power.

He did not rush to attack, but instead struck a pose as immovable as a mountain.

Wu Qi did not want to waste soul power, nor did he want the opponent's scheme to succeed, so he simply stood where he was, meeting all changes with constancy.

Tang San had consumed a Sugar Bean, and as time passed, its effects would continuously weaken.

The match had no time limit, so why should Wu Qi be in a hurry? Wouldn't it be better to drag it out a while longer?

The two's actions drew dissatisfaction from many teams.

"What are they doing? This is a match, not a standoff!"

No one liked watching a long, drawn-out match.

Yu Tianheng had never been one to keep his cool; during the two minutes of the standoff with Wu Qi, the audience's insults made him unable to endure any longer.

"Are you a damn turtle!" he cursed loudly, and took the initiative to step forward.

"Third Soul Skill, Thunder's Fury!"

With the soul skill activated, Yu Tianheng entered a berserk state, and immediately after, one of his arms completed its dragon transformation, further enhancing the effect of the soul skill.

A claw reached out, and Wu Qi leaned his body backward, dodging easily.

During the standoff just now, he hadn't been idle; he had been secretly stirring the airflow around the ring.

Supported by the airflow, he leaned back at an extremely exaggerated angle without falling over.

Buoyed by the airflow, his movement technique was exceptionally strange, and Yu Tianheng couldn't touch him at all.

In a fit of rage, Yu Tianheng exerted his full power to launch a thunderous offensive.

Lightning was the most destructive element among all attributes.

So what if he was a Soul King? If he was hit head-on, he would still go down!

But he didn't realize that the airflow on the ring had been completely controlled by Wu Qi; this place had effectively become Wu Qi's home turf.

On the rostrum.

Gu Rong laughed and scolded: "Yu Tianheng has tried to be clever only to end up worse off; this kid Wu Qi has already built his position, and from here on out, no one will be able to handle him."

Maintaining control of the airflow only required consuming a small amount of soul power; even if the quality of Wu Qi's soul power hadn't improved, he could easily maintain it for over an hour.

Ning Fengzhi praised: "Such battle awareness is truly remarkable."

Salas, off to the side, was secretly pleased.

The stronger the strength Wu Qi displayed, the more successful his investment was.

Don't forget, who helped awaken Wu Qi's martial soul!

As long as one was a normal person, they wouldn't forget this favor of being a guide.

Yu Tianheng's "stalling" tactic not only failed to have an effect, but instead dug a hole and buried himself.

……

Today's sky was bright and sunny, without a single cloud for miles.

For Yu Tianheng to trigger a thunderous offensive, he needed a long time to build up power.

But would Wu Qi give him that chance?

Wu Qi snapped his fingers, and gusts of wild wind instantly swirled around him.

The dark clouds Yu Tianheng had managed to gather dispersed in an instant, forcing him to switch from offense to defense.

The wind grew increasingly fierce, and he couldn't maintain his footing at all.

As expected, Yu Tianheng was blown off the ring, completely unable to fight back.

Wu Qi hadn't even activated a soul skill; how much soul power could he have consumed?

Yu Tianheng not only failed to carry out Tang San's arrangements, but could even be said to have given the win away for nothing!

Tang San suppressed his irritable emotions and instructed Dai Mubai: "Mu Bai, attack with full force, do not give Wu Qi a chance to catch his breath."

"Teacher once said that no matter how strong Wu Qi's combat power is, he is fundamentally an Agility Attack System Spirit Master, and his defense is his weakness."

"Once your attack lands, given his physical toughness, he will inevitably be injured, and there may even be a chance to eliminate him while you're at it."

Dai Mubai nodded heavily.

Yu Tianheng lost because he was overly rigid in executing Tang San's tactics, giving Wu Qi time to control the wind.

Now, the ring had effectively become the opponent's position; if he didn't attack with full force, his fate would be no better than Yu Tianheng's.

Dai Mubai moved swiftly, giving his opponent almost no room to breathe.

The second match began.

The fourth deep purple Soul Ring around Dai Mubai suddenly lit up, "Fourth Soul Skill, White Tiger Meteor Shower!"

His soul power surged, as if it were about to burn.

Countless starlight points formed behind him.

Not a bad response.

Wu Qi rarely praised his opponent, but that was all it was.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Wind Swirl Wandering Dragon Body!"

The fourth black Soul Ring shone, and the airflow around his body opened a convenient path for him.

His figure wove through it, encountering almost no resistance.

In an instant, his figure flashed behind Dai Mubai; the latter was terrified and had no choice but to stop releasing his soul skill, turning instead to engage Wu Qi in hand-to-hand combat.

In that very moment just now, the speed Wu Qi erupted with was already no less than that of some Agility Attack System Spirit Sages.

Even Meng Shu, a powerhouse at the Spirit Douluo level, had almost failed to see his figure clearly.

"Such a brilliant and peerless genius will surely lead an era. Sigh, what a pity."

Yu Tianheng was easily eliminated, and he knew the monstrous nature of his opponent's talent.

He regretted it immensely in his heart; back in the Star Dou Great Forest, if he could have met up with Chao Tianxiang sooner, perhaps they could have taken down Wu Qi.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world.

No matter how strong Wu Qi's strength was, it had nothing to do with them.

Since he had decided to cling to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, he would not be half-hearted again.

"Yiran, go to Shrek Academy and comfort Tianheng well."

On the arena.

Close-quarters combat was Wu Qi's strength, and it was also Dai Mubai's strength.

But the gap in raw strength made it impossible for Dai Mubai to keep up with his attack frequency, let alone parry.

This match had lost all suspense!

Wu Qi seized the opportunity, grabbed Dai Mubai's arm, and using the power of his wings and waist and abdominal muscles, threw Dai Mubai out of the arena's bounds with force.

The latter had no flight ability, and with his body in a state of suspension, he could not stop at all.

"Dai Mubai, eliminated!"

As the referee announced the result in a loud voice, Wu Qi easily completed a one-versus-two.

The Seven Treasures Team led the Shrek Team two to zero for the time being!
