"Teacher Qin, is Yu Feng going to be okay?"
Oslo asked with a grave expression.
This little girl had ambushed their teammate right in front of them. Wasn't this a direct slap to their faces?
Not just their faces, but also to the dignity of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy!
Hearing this, Qin Ming didn't respond immediately. He fixed his gaze on Xiao Wu and said coldly:
"Little girl, Yu Feng may have spoken out of turn, but don't you think your retaliation was excessively ruthless?"
Qin Ming's face was dark, and his eyes were filled with hostility.
Xiao Wu was about to argue, feeling that this so-called Yu Feng was clearly picking on her and Li Si just because they were younger and seemed like easy targets.
But when he was causing trouble, these people stood by, arms crossed, and watched gleefully.
Now that he had been beaten, they suddenly flipped the script?
"This two-faced middle-aged man, please choose your words carefully!"
Li Si spread his hands and said calmly,
"Which of your eyes saw Xiao Wu make a move?"
Qin Ming froze slightly at this statement. If Xiao Wu hadn't acted, then how had Yu Feng been injured? And why did he go flying?
And this kid just called him two-faced?
He, Qin Ming, prided himself on being honest and fair—how dare someone accuse him of double standards?
"Teacher Qin, the girl kicked Yu Feng away with her feet!"
A voice suddenly shouted, and Qin Ming finally "realized" the situation.
His face turned even darker. Was this some kind of joke?
"Ha, Little Four is right. I didn't use my hands at all!"
Xiao Wu chuckled.
It was clearly the other side who provoked them first, and now they wanted an explanation?
What a joke!
If they were unsatisfied, they could fight!
The members of the Emperor Team looked as black as coal. Yu Feng had only been trying to have some fun. If the other party didn't cooperate, fine, but they didn't have to beat him up!
And now they were being openly provocative. Could this be tolerated?
"Hmph, you brat, and you, little girl! If you had just apologized, knelt down, and admitted your mistake, we might have let you go."
"But now, not only did you not apologize, but you also insulted Teacher Qin."
"There's no point in talking anymore."
The blue-haired man leading the group said coldly.
This man was none other than Yu Tianheng, grandson of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's patriarch and captain of the Emperor Team.
At the level of Rank 39, he was undefeated so far. Coupled with his distinguished background, his arrogance made him dismissive of Li Si and Xiao Wu.
Li Si's mouth twitched slightly. Yu Tianheng and Yu Xiaogang truly were uncle and nephew; their shamelessness was cut from the same cloth.
Out in the world, where did he get this confidence from?
Did he think he was Yu Yuanzhen?
After Yu Tianheng's declaration, he began walking toward Li Si. He didn't release his martial soul—his pride wouldn't allow it.
His opponent was younger and hadn't released a martial soul either. How could he, the wielder of the world's strongest beast martial soul, stoop to releasing his first?
Li Si and Xiao Wu were clearly together. If he targeted Li Si and left him half-dead, the little girl would surely kneel and beg for mercy!
With this thought in mind, Yu Tianheng's steps grew steadier, and his confident smile deepened.
The other members of the Emperor Team didn't panic; instead, they folded their arms again, ready to enjoy the show.
Yu Tianheng was nothing like Yu Feng. He was the strongest among them!
His martial soul was the world's strongest beast martial soul!
Well, among the students, that was.
Qin Ming, as the team's instructor, did not intervene.
In just a blink, Yu Tianheng was already two meters in front of Li Si. The Emperor Team's members smirked coldly, convinced this kid was doomed.
Yu Tianheng's strength was something they knew all too well.
"Bang!"
The smirks on everyone's faces froze, then vanished altogether.
Oslo rubbed his eyes and murmured,
"Did I just hallucinate? I think I saw the boss fly out."
The others: "…"
If one person hallucinated, it might not be real. But if they all saw it, it couldn't possibly be an illusion!
"The boss really flew out!"
It was unclear whether it was Shimo or Shimo who said it. The twin brothers looked identical, making even their teammates struggle to tell them apart.
It wasn't just the Emperor Team that was dumbfounded—even Qin Ming was stunned.
He had barely caught sight of Li Si's movements!
Li Si had pivoted on his left foot, spinning once before delivering a swift, precise, and forceful kick to Yu Tianheng.
The strike was so clean and powerful that even Qin Ming had trouble following it, let alone Yu Tianheng, who was sent flying.
"Cough, cough, cough…"
Hearing Yu Tianheng coughing, everyone remembered he was injured and rushed to him.
"I was careless…"
"Captain (Boss), don't say it! We know you were careless and didn't dodge in time!"
Yu Tianheng twitched at this, then promptly passed out.
Qin Ming quickly examined him and was shocked to discover that Yu Tianheng's injuries were even worse than Yu Feng's.
Though he hadn't coughed up blood, almost all his ribs were broken. He couldn't even cough up blood if he wanted to!
"This strength… it's on par with mine?"
Qin Ming was bewildered. If he didn't use his martial soul, could he defeat Yu Tianheng, who also hadn't released his martial soul, with such ease?
Unlikely!
After all, Yu Tianheng was a Rank 39 Battle Soul Elder. If Qin Ming didn't use his martial soul, taking him down so easily was almost impossible!
"It must be because Tianheng was careless and got ambushed again!"
Even Qin Ming didn't believe his own words.
After all, as a Rank 62 Soul Emperor, he had barely caught sight of Li Si's attack.
"If you kneel and beg for mercy now, maybe I'll let you go,"
Li Si said, stepping forward with a smile.
An eye for an eye, a taste of their own medicine.
Apologies? If apologies worked, what was the point of cultivating strength?
Becoming a powerful Battle Soul Master was precisely for situations where reason didn't work—to enforce physics instead.
And to make the other side listen, calmly or otherwise, before explaining again.
"Lingling, heal Tianheng as well."
After giving these orders, Qin Ming's eyes turned fierce.
This kid was too audacious!
Did he not know that Qin Ming was the second-youngest known Soul Emperor on the continent?
"Kid, you're courting death!"
The Emperor Team's members were about to release their martial souls for a group assault, but seeing Qin Ming step forward, they hesitated and stopped.
"Courting death? With your mere Rank 62 Soul Emperor level, you dare say that to me?"
Li Si smirked, his eyes narrowing like pie charts—mockery, indifference, and disdain in perfect proportions.
His tone was dripping with contempt. Forget Qin Ming; even Zhao Wuji had been beaten by him!
"You…"
How did this kid know his soul power level?
