Ultimate Fighting

“How many more rounds till Lu Qianxun’s team?” Yin Tianfan turned to Mu Zhongtian and asked.

Mu Zhongtian said, “One more team, and it’ll be Lu Qianxun’s team.”

Yun Tianfan’s eyes lit up and he said, “Bring their team forward and get them in the arena now.
Then tell Lan Xuanyu that if they lose to Lu Qianxun, it’ll mean that they have lost the subsequent battles too.”

“Ah? Vice president, isn’t this inappropriate? It’s against the rules! I’m afraid that they will be upset…” Mu Zhongtian looked at the man with a dumbstruck expression.
Although he knew that this man didn’t follow conventional methods, if they changed the rules that were already set, it wouldn’t be very fair to the students.
Where was the credibility of this school?

But Yin Tianfan was unperturbed and said, “It doesn’t matter, just do as I said.
If we don’t put some pressure on them, how are we going to bring out the best of their abilities? If they choose to give up when they have energy to spare, then it’s obvious that they feel they could fight on till Qian Lei is able to summon once again, since they already won four matches.
Since this is a test, we have to squeeze out all their abilities.
We’ll see how well these young chaps can perform.
Do as I say.
If Lan Xuanyu and his team aren’t pleased about it, I will deal with them.”

Mu Zhongtian looked at Ji Hongbin, as only Old Ji’s words were useful before the vice president.

But unexpectedly, Ji Hongbin nodded in agreement too.
“Do as the vice president instructed and don’t give these chaps a chance to resort to tricks.
If we don’t push them a little, it’ll be unfair to the rest of the teams at the back.”

“Ah? Alright, then…” Mu Zhongtian didn’t expect that Ji Hongbin would actually approve of Yin Tianfan’s request—this was really unfair to Lan Xuanyu’s team! But he could only execute things as instructed.

Soul World, arena.

“Attention, Lan Xuanyu’s team, this is to inform you that in the next match, you will be facing Lu Qianxun’s team.
You must win this match, and if you don’t, all the subsequent matches will be regarded as defeat as well.” An announcement was made, and it was clear that it was Mu Zhongtian’s voice.

Lan Xuanyu and Liu Feng were already prepared to charge, but when they heard the sudden announcement, both of them were stunned.

“What’s going on? Why are the subsequent matches considered a defeat if we lose this match? Are we being punished?” Liu Feng exclaimed in shock.

Lan Xuanyu was a little dumbfounded as well.
They were still so young, after all; how would they figure out why the rules would change all of a sudden.

Right at that moment, three figures slowly appeared opposite them, and they were Lu Qianxun, Ye Lingtong, and Chang Jianyi.

Due to that announcement, Lan Xuanyu and Liu Feng lost the chance to do a surprise attack or even make the first move.

Two yellow Soul Rings rose from Lu Qianxun’s feet and sufficiently revealed his second Soul Ring Soul Grandmaster cultivation.

“What should we do?” Qian Lei had already opened his eyes by now and heard the announcement too.

Lan Xuanyu looked at him and revealed an inquiring gaze.
Qian Lei shook his head and smiled bitterly—he had only rest for a bit, alright? He still needed to restore some Spiritual Power in order to summon once more.

This meant that it was still two versus three for this match.
Lan Xuanyu and Liu Feng were up against second-ring Lu Qianxun and the valiant Ye Lingtong, as well as Chang Jianyi, who had the control ability to slow one down.

It goes without saying how slowing down would affect Liu Feng, and with the other party already prepared, even if Lan Xuanyu’s enhancement could help him break the deceleration, Ye Lingtong and Lu Qianxun weren’t stupid!

Two versus three—this match was much harder than the previous one and the chances of winning were too low.

However, they couldn’t lose this match! If they did, they would lose the subsequent matches and wouldn’t be able to fight anymore.
What were they going to do in the next semester?

Fight, they could only fight now.

“What should we do?” Liu Feng asked the same question, clearly panicking a bit.

Lu Qianxun’s body swelled, unleashed the imposing manner of having two rings as the three of them strode over to Lan Xuanyu and Liu Feng.

Lu Qianxun was actually quite arrogant.
He wasn’t willing to fight against Lan Xuanyu with Qian Lei looking like he didn’t have any combat power; he wished to face his opponents when they were at their strongest.
He was a Soul Grandmaster after all! He wanted to defeat his opponent when both parties were in their top conditions.

Lan Xuanyu shrugged his shoulders, somewhat helpless.
‘The teachers are forcing us and since this is the case, then…’

“Liu Feng.” Lan Xuanyu suddenly turned to Liu Feng.

“En?” Liu Feng looked at him.

Lan Xuanyu said softly, “I’ll enhance you, and you must lift all three of them up at all cost.
Can you do that? Just leave the rest to me.”

Liu Feng smiled bitterly.
“I can try but I’m afraid I won’t even be able to get close to them.
That Lu Qianxun’s Golden Lion Roar is too strong.”

“Let’s just gamble on the fact that he wouldn’t use his Golden Lion Roar in the first instance.
Come on, bet on it,” said Lan Xuanyu.

“Alright.” Liu Feng took a deep breath and nodded firmly.

Lan Xuanyu released the Blue Silver Grass in both his hands and Liu Feng went in front of him in a flash.
Lan Xuanyu pushed him harshly, and he sprinted towards the opponents like an arrow.
Lan Xuanyu followed behind closely with vigorous strides; he even added a layer of ice beneath his feet and was gliding.

Ye Lingtong released her Martial Soul and Chang Jianyi lifted his right hand, expanding a faint white halo outwards—it was the Soul Skill Slow Down!

This slow down effect of his was very strong and could be controlled within a range.
It was best used on someone like Liu Feng, who was extremely swift.
Previously, before Lan Xuanyu arrived, Liu Feng battled with Chang Jianyi one-on-one, only to be controlled by him till his Soul Power was depleted and he couldn’t even release his Martial Soul.

The light of the White Dragon Spear shone brightly and the eyes on the dragon head luminated.
Liu Feng had immense trust in Lan Xuanyu; faced with the effects of the deceleration, he still charged forth without hesitation.
He knew very well that even if he could release an attack, it would inevitably be influenced by the effect of the slow down and would fail under the opponent’s counterattack.

Charging towards him was Ye Lingtong.
With the release of the Celestial Body, her speed, strength, and defense were raised to the max.

Affected by the effects of the slow down, there was clearly a delay in Liu Feng’s actions, but his White Dragon Spear still swept out brazenly.
His Soul Skill activated and lifted them up.

Chang Jianyi moved in a flash and went behind Lu Qianxun to dodge.
He would never allow the scene where Liu Feng pierced through him repeatedly again.

Ye Lingtong charged towards Liu Feng head-on.
The white glow on her body accumulated and she was fearless when facing the tip of the White Dragon Spear.

“Pfff!” The light of the White Dragon Spear shone and a rising force covered a five-meter radius.
With Lan Xuanyu’s golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass enhancement and Liu Feng practically risking his life and giving his all for the attack, the airflow of this rising force immediately swept Ye Lingtong, Lu Qianxun, and Chang Jianyi’s bodies along and lifted them up.

Lu Qianxun scoffed and released his Soul Power.
He forced himself downwards and landed firmly on the ground at the same spot.
Ye Lingtong had been confronting him but was still lifted up; only by two meters, however.
While her body turned in midair, Lu Qianxun caught up behind her and grabbed the back of her top.
Ye Lingtong took the chance to kick one leg out, and with the force that Lu Qianxun transferred, the kick landed on the White Dragon Spear.

Liu Feng used all his might to sweep them up, not leaving room for manoeuvring at all, but along with his spear, he was instantly sent flying by the kick.

No matter how one saw it, this initiated attack of one against three wasn’t a very wise choice at all.
Even with Lan Xuanyu’s enhancement, it was impossible for him to gain an upper hand against all three of them!

Liu Feng, who was sent flying, immediately knocked into Lan Xuanyu, who was behind him.
Ye Lingtong had actually calculated the angle of this kick carefully.

Even if Lan Xuanyu caught Liu Feng, they would still have to endure the violent attacks of the three opponents.

Ye Lingtong knew very well how hard Lu Qianxun worked these past months, and it was all to wipe out the disgrace and humiliation during the final exam.
