Chapter 86 A cornered beast fights on.
The bewildered spectators, still unable to discern the situation on the field, soon began to grasp the picture.
In the once impenetrable blue silver grass, a figure was pushed outside the Soul Arena.
Just a second ago, Dugu Yan was cautiously guarding against the dangers around her, but the next moment, an extremely resilient Blue Silver Grass sprouted from the ground and wrapped around her ankle. Before she could struggle, Tang San's Blue Silver Pull threw Dugu Yan off the Soul Arena.
Completely bewildered, she hadn't even reacted when Qin Ming, the host, immediately announced her elimination.
"It seems that Dugu Yan will have difficulty surviving in the Blue Silver Sea and has been eliminated first."
Qin Ming's tone was slightly regretful, but the nobles in the stands were not too disappointed, after all, they had bet on Yu Tianheng, whose current situation was still unknown in the Soul Arena.
They were naturally pleasantly surprised that Dugu Yan had reached the Soul Master level, but as long as Yu Tianheng didn't fall, in their eyes it was just three Soul Venerables playing tricks.
"I didn't lose. I didn't use a single soul skill, and I wasn't injured. How can you say I lost?" Dugu Yan was clearly unconvinced. She naturally understood that she had already left the competition venue. According to the usual practice, the person who leaves the competition venue is obviously judged to have lost. But she couldn't accept being eliminated by the other party like this.
"Dugu Yan, according to the competition rules, stepping out means you've already lost. If you have any questions, you can come to the Academic Affairs Office for a review after the competition. Now, please respect the outcome of the competition." Qin Ming's tone was stern and unassailable.
Despite Dugu Bo's presence, Qin Ming maintained his usual serious demeanor and did not indulge his student. After all, the National Tournament was just around the corner after this battle. If he were to be so lenient during the National Tournament, not only would the entire continent's soul masters laugh at their Heavenly Fighting team, but it would also make them seem like a sore loser.
Seeing that her mentor wasn't protecting her, Dugu Yan turned to look at Dugu Bo in the stands, thinking that her grandfather would definitely stand up for her.
Her fourth soul skill was acquired with the help of her grandfather during a hunt, and she was eliminated before she could shine in the selection competition. How could Dugu Yan bear it?
However, when her gaze met that of her grandfather, the green-haired old man simply smiled and shook his head at her.
Dugu Bo knew, of course, that the Blue Silver Grass Soul Master's move was at Xiao Yan's behest. Even Yan Yan's team of Nine Heart Begonia Soul Masters hadn't received such treatment; they gently invited Dugu Yan down, indicating that Xiao Yan was giving him ample face.
The implication was obvious: if Dugu Bo were to allow his granddaughter to return to the competition, even if Xiao Yan showed mercy, his precious granddaughter might not escape unscathed.
Seeing that her grandfather was the same, Dugu Yan became even more frustrated. She gritted her teeth and shouted at the stage, "Yu Tianheng, don't come back to see me until you beat all three of these people down!"
At the same time, Yu Tianheng finally unleashed his fourth soul skill, Blue Lightning Dragon Swift, while enveloped by Tang San's Blue Silver Grass!
Yu Tianheng's eyes narrowed, and his soul power instantly surged. Blue-purple lightning crackled and exploded on his body like a raging dragon.
He raised his right hand high, and all the lightning on his body gathered into a blue electric dragon more than a meter long.
"Boom—!" The string of lightning dragons in his hand seemed to come alive, looking down at the blue-silver sea in front of him.
Yu Tianheng roared, and the Blue Silver Grass around his body was instantly carbonized by the high-voltage current, and then shattered, turning into charred debris that flew everywhere.
The reason why Yu Tianheng was able to break free from Tang San's Blue Silver Grass entanglement so easily was mainly because it was at Xiao Yan's behest.
Not only that, after Dugu Yan was eliminated, Tang San had already been intentionally taking back his martial soul, because he knew that his elder brother was about to make a move.
Tang San pressed his palm against the ground, and almost the instant Yu Tianheng broke free from his Blue Silver Grass, all the Blue Silver Grass on the field shrank back and disappeared without a trace.
In an instant, the previously scattered battle arena became clear, with only three people fighting against two.
The spectators were finally able to focus their attention back on the Soul Fighting Arena.
"Is this what you call Yan Xiao's disciple? Why didn't you deal with our support-type Soul Master first?" Yu Tianheng turned around and glanced at his only remaining teammate. Ye Lingling looked completely unharmed. Although the other side eliminated Dugu Yan first, fortunately, she wasn't injured. In fact, in Yu Tianheng's mind, Ye Lingling's priority in the team was even higher than Dugu Yan's. He couldn't understand why Xiao Yan had such means as not eliminating Ye Lingling first.
It seems that Xiao Yan doesn't know who to eliminate first; as long as Ye Lingling is around, he is almost invincible.
Speaking of which, when Xiao Yan fought against Shrek Academy last time, he didn't let Ye Lingling take action. I really don't know if he was ignorant or arrogant.
"I am well aware of the incredible recovery ability of the Nine Heart Begonia Soul Master, and that is why I kept her on the stage."
"You think I'd be hurt by the three of you? Don't be ridiculous. If you were really that capable, why did you separate me from Yan Yan and the others in the first place and trap me alone?"
"To be honest, breaking free from the Blue Silver Grass's fourth soul skill didn't take much of a toll on me. If your goal is to wear me down, then you've miscalculated."
Yu Tianheng stared coldly at Xiao Yan and the other two.
Xiao Yan and Xiao Wu didn't even make a move, so there was no question of them expending any soul power. Tang San was also quite strange; he unleashed a soul skill of such scale and still seemed to have plenty of energy left.
"No, I think you will be hurt by me, or rather, by my martial spirit." Xiao Yan smiled confidently at Yu Tianheng.
"Hahahaha. Don't be ridiculous. My martial soul is an ultimate offensive type martial soul. You, a rabbit, a Blue Silver Grass, and a strange martial soul whose name I can't even name, are struggling to deal with me even when you're working together. And you actually think you can beat me by yourself?"
Xiao Yan's words were naturally heard by the nobles in the stands, who couldn't help but laugh at the Soul Master student's overestimation of his abilities, daring to attempt to deal with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus, especially as a Soul Master.
"Why don't you try and see, Xiao San?" Xiao Yan turned to look at Tang San and Xiao Wu, and they both nodded.
"Brother Xiao, it's a promise, you'd better give that long-faced guy a good beating, or Xiao Wu won't let you off the hook." After saying that, Xiao Wu walked straight off the stage. Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Wu hadn't disobeyed his arrangements, so everything was going according to his plan.
"What happened? After eliminating one of the opponent's Soul Masters, Xiao Wu from Xiao Yan's team just jumped off the Soul Arena like that? What does this mean? Wasn't their initial entanglement just to reduce Yu Tianheng's side's numbers and create a situation where they outnumbered him?"
Qin Ming continued to provide commentary, ensuring that the distinguished guests and students on stage could understand the situation immediately.
"You asked for this, Xiao Yan." Yu Tianheng couldn't help but laugh when he saw Xiao Wu give up the competition without even lifting a finger.
"Two against two is much fairer," Xiao Yan said, his smile unchanged.
"Hey, Yu Tianheng," Xiao Yan called out to Yu Tianheng, "Do you dare to decide the outcome with a single move?"
