Chapter 58: Anger Stems from a Lack of Self-Confidence!

Wu Qin moved quickly, and when Wu Qi and Qiangu Changkong arrived at the Martial Arts Arena, many students had already arrived upon hearing the news.

For these students, being able to watch a brilliant Spirit Fighting match without having to leave the academy was an opportunity no one wanted to miss.

The members of the Imperial Fighting Team were, after all, the seven strongest individuals in the entire academy.

In the eyes of most students, Wu Qi and Qiangu Changkong must have offended the other party to be challenged in such a manner.

With so many students watching, whoever lost would be the one embarrassed!

Seeing the two figures, Aosiluo extended his pinky finger and said with a look of disdain, "Are these two cowards being dragged here by someone else?"

"With so many people watching, this is a fair exchange; don't go saying we bullied you later."

Qiangu Changkong cupped his ear toward the other party's position, putting on a puzzled expression, "Huh, Brother Wu, I just heard a dog barking; did you hear it?"

Wu Qi smiled indifferently.

When it came to the ability to stir up trouble, Yu Feng and Aosiluo combined couldn't compare to a single toe of Qiangu Changkong. One had to know, this guy even dared to eavesdrop on Ning Fengzhi's conversations; was there any trouble he wouldn't dare to stir?

Yu Feng and Aosiluo were furious, their expressions instantly turning grim, "Fine, very good. I hope that from head to toe, you have more to you than just a sharp tongue!"

Qiangu Changkong sneered, "What, relying on the fact that you enrolled before us, you want to use your status to pressure others?"

"Could it be that in this academy, everything is ranked by seniority?"

The Spirit Master World does not recognize seniority, only strength; no one would dare to claim otherwise!

Of course, provoking the opponent was also part of the plan.

Wu Qi knew Qiangu Changkong's strength clearly; he had to challenge Yu Feng to have any chance of winning.

Just now, it was clear that Yu Feng and Aosiluo held the initiative, but after this exchange, they had undoubtedly taken the moral high ground.

Next, the other party would have to make a concession!

Off to the side, Yu Tianheng seemed to see through their intentions and hurriedly warned, "Leopard, Little Bird, this is a provocation tactic; don't get led into their rhythm."

Having received the warning, Yu Feng sneered, "We aren't bullying anyone. You are two people, and we are two people. Discuss among yourselves who will fight me and who will fight the leopard."

With the goal achieved, Qiangu Changkong chuckled inwardly and turned to whisper with Wu Qi, appearing as if they were deliberating.

"Yu Feng's martial soul is a Wind Bell Bird; if you don't have a strategy, I can provide you with one."

Qiangu Changkong smiled confidently, "Don't worry, I am thinking about how to defeat you at every moment!"

The two were friends, but also "arch-rivals."

It was precisely because he knew Qiangu Changkong had studied him quite a bit that he let him challenge Yu Feng.

Flying-type Spirit Masters naturally possess an aerial advantage; for Qiangu Changkong, who had no anti-air means, challenging the other party was absolutely "seeking his own death."

Furthermore, Yu Feng's soul power level was as high as thirty-seven; on paper, Qiangu Changkong had no chance of winning.

However, Qiangu Changkong needed to utilize the opponent's tendency to underestimate him to unleash his trump card.

……

After both sides finished discussing, Qiangu Changkong leaped onto the Martial Arts Arena and beckoned toward Yu Feng, "It's you, come on."

Yu Feng had naturally seen the other party's basic information; a staff-type martial soul might have some chance of winning against a leopard-type martial soul like Aosiluo's, but wanting to deal with him was simply wishful thinking!

"Very well, I hope you don't lose too ugly!"

Qiangu Changkong retorted, "I return those same words to you."

"Since that is the case, I shall act as the referee!" Without anyone noticing, Qin Ming appeared among the crowd of onlookers.

Hearing his voice, the students spontaneously cleared a path, and Qin Ming walked to the side of the ring.

"Teacher Qin."

The members of the Imperial Fighting Team bowed to him.

Wu Qi looked toward him, his face devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

Qin Ming was Shrek Academy's most outstanding graduate to date; ever since learning about the situation at Shrek Academy, this guy had frequently betrayed the academy's interests.

Most importantly, this guy's true colors were no less unsightly than Yu Xiaogang's.

He was able to have his current strength because the Three Education Committees had frequently demanded resources from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family to pour into him.

In the end, because Shrek Academy suffered unfair treatment, he just patted his butt and left.

Under the guise of being "all alone"!

Wu Qi was truly curious about what methods Shrek Academy had used to brainwash him like this.

In the original timeline, the Imperial Fighting Team met their Waterloo at the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena; even Ye Lingling faced a life-threatening situation, yet Qin Ming didn't utter a single sound.

If he were a teacher, such composure was even more impressive than a ninja turtle; conversely, he was simply unworthy of being a teacher.

……

As Qin Ming announced the start of the match, Yu Feng immediately ascended, relying on his aerial advantage to continuously launch surprise attacks.

On the surface, Qiangu Changkong was being led by the nose, but he was secretly waiting for an opportunity.

Aosiluo looked at Wu Qi with a provocative gaze, "Your friend doesn't seem to be doing so well; if this continues, he's going to lose. If he starts crying, it'll be embarrassing."

Wu Qi glanced at him, stating flatly, "Worry about yourself; with your strength, how can you be so arrogant?"

Aosiluo was furious, "Hmph, just wait, you're next. Losing a match in front of so many people, I'll see how you manage to survive in the academy later!"

Wu Qi's expression remained unchanged, "Your anger stems from a deep-seated lack of self-confidence. If you ask me, you've already lost completely; is there any need to compete further?"

As a Soul Emperor, Qin Ming had keen perception; even from a distance, he could hear their argument clearly.

Gradually, he furrowed his brows.

In terms of temperament, Aosiluo had lost completely, and this feeling of anger would greatly interfere with his decision-making during the battle.

Qin Ming couldn't help but feel curious; a teenager not yet thirteen years old was acting so mature—where did such a genius pop out from?

If he were recruited into the Imperial Fighting Team, the team's overall strength might be able to take a step further.

For a moment, Qin Ming was lost in thought and failed to notice Qiangu Changkong's movements.

……

Yu Feng soared in mid-air, and the Third Soul Ring beneath his feet suddenly lit up, "It's over!"

"Third Soul Skill, Wind Rising and Clouds Surging!"

The Wind Bell Bird flapped its wings rapidly, whipping up a strong gale, intending to blow his opponent out of the arena's boundaries.

Qiangu Changkong's gaze was like a torch, and a ruthless smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "You're far worse than Brother Wu, yet you dare to act presumptuously!"

The Coiling Dragon Staff danced rapidly in his hands, "Blazing Fire Coiling Dragon Ring!"

The staff emitted rolling flames, and under the rapid movement, it transformed into circles of fire rings, shooting toward his opponent.

Yu Feng did not care at first, until the Coiling Dragon Ring easily passed through his wind barrier, causing him to turn pale with fright.

It was just a pity that he had nowhere to hide; he was ensnared by the Coiling Dragon Ring, completely losing his ability to fly, and his figure plummeted on the spot.

Below the Martial Arts Arena, Wu Qi raised an eyebrow.

Blazing Fire Coiling Dragon Ring was Qiangu Changkong's Self-Created Soul Skill, which itself originated from the Eighth Soul Skill of the Subduing Demon Douluo—Subduing Demon Coiling Dragon Ring.

This was a soul skill that combined control and attack, but clearly, Qiangu Changkong had only learned the control method, and the soul skill's own attack power was not strong.
