Chapter 31: Sweeping the Five Monsters
"Arrogant!" Dai Mubai stepped forward, glaring at Li Tianyi. Sparks seemed to burst from his violet eyes.
"You're too arrogant!" Ning Rongrong pouts in discontent.
Li Tianyi doesn't reply. He lowers his head, flexes his wrists a few times, clenches his fists, then looks up at the group with indifference.
"You!"
Dai Mubai's face is etched with rage. Suddenly, he feels a pair of delicate hands on his shoulders.
Zhu Zhuqing shakes her head at the crowd, gazing solemnly at Li Tianyi.
As a Sensitive Attack Spirit Master, she can vaguely sense the immense power emanating from him. She's only experienced that kind of towering, explosive energy from Zhao Wuji, yet he hasn't yet activated his spirit ring.
"Don't be careless. Let's test his strength together."
"Haha, then as you say. Let's see just how capable this bra is. How dare he take on the five of us alone?" Dai Mubai grinned, rubbing his fists.
Tang San started to speak, but a glance back at the deep pit dimmed the gleam in his eyes. He didn't refuse his companions' invitation.
Looking at the four men standing shoulder to shoulder with Tang San, Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "Teacher Zhao, what do you think of the battle?"
Zhao Wuji's face shone with immense confidence as he hummed, "This kid's strength is indeed astonishing, but those guys in our academy are no pushovers."
"In my opinion, he'd struggle against two alone, and against five alone, there's absolutely no chance of winning."
Ning Fengzhi smiled without saying anything, turning his head to look inside.
Li Tianyi stood alone on the flat ground. Facing the five men, his face showed no fear, but rather eagerness.
These were the Shrek Seven Devils! If he hadn't come to this world, these men before him would have been the true kings of this continent in a few years.
Alas, here I am.
Li Tianyi felt every cell in his body surge with excitement.
"Begin!"
Zhao Wuji gave the order again.
"The Seven Treasures transform into Glaze!"
Ning Rongrong's body was the first to illuminate with a rainbow of light, an exquisite glazed pagoda swirling in her palm.
"The Seven Treasures have names, one of which is: Power." As a yellow spirit rose around the pagoda, Ning Rongrong's fingers radiated four rays of light, rushing towards Tang San and his companions.
As the light surged in, the four men's bodies trembled, each displaying their own martial spirits.
Dai Mubai, previously frivolous, now held his hands firm. A fierce tiger roar emanated from him.
"White Tiger, possess!"
Three rings of yellow and purple light rose in succession.
A pale light suddenly shone, and Dai Mubai's size instantly expanded. His golden hair turned black and white, and the faint symbol of the character "king" appeared on his forehead.
After Zhu Zhuqing's martial spirit possessed him, his eyes simultaneously changed color, the left eye dark green, the right clear blue, and his hands transformed into sharp cat claws.
Xiao Wu's face was sluggish, but now she seemed out of her element, a dazed look.
"The Seven Treasures have their names, the second of which is speed."
Four more dazzling rays of light streamed through Ning Rongrong's slender fingers, pouring into the four figures.
Li Tianyi, who had waited for two seconds with his hands folded, saw them ready. With one foot, he crushed the dirt and rocks beneath his feet and shot out, attacking the control-focused Tang San directly.
A milky white light emanated from the deep blue blades in Tang San's palms. Vines as thick as an adult's arm lashed out in Li Tianyi's direction.
Light and agile, Li Tianyi, freed from the burden, ignored the thorny, snake-patterned vines, dodging them with a few quick turns.
Seeing Li Tianyi approaching, Tang San showed no sign of panic. Instead, he decisively used the Tang Sect's ultimate skill, Ghost Shadow, to stall for time while awaiting his teammates' support.
"Ghost Shadow?"
"Too slow!"
Li Tianyi's lips curled slightly, his speed instantly increasing by two levels.
"Bang!"
Tang San was caught off guard. He hadn't expected his opponent's speed. A blow to the shoulder sent him flying ten meters away.
At the same second, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing rushed to his aid, their blade-like tiger and cat claws slashing towards Li Tianyi's abdomen and throat respectively.
Li Tianyi dodged the attack with a swift, swift movement, then slapped Zhu Zhuqing on the back with a backhand palm and kicked Dai Mubai on the buttocks.
"Bang bang!"
Both stumbled, retreating several meters before recovering.
Zhu Zhuqing pointed at Li Tianyi in shock, saying, "Aren't you a force attack spirit master? How can you be faster than a sensitive attack spirit master like me!"
Li Tianyi sighed, "Who said I was a force attack spirit master?"
"Then you..."
"I'm not even a spirit master now."
"You..." Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes flashed with intense curiosity.
"Roar!"
Dai Mubai's roar interrupted their conversation. A purple aura lit up from beneath him, and his pupils turned blood red as the air around him distorted.
"Millennium Spirit Technique, White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
An angry growl echoed from Dai Mubai, whose already voluminous frame, swelled further due to the White Tiger's possession. Muscles bulged dramatically, and black, curly streaks appeared across his skin.
Seeing Dai Mubai's bloodshot eyes, enveloped in golden light, Li Tianyi was speechless. "She's not your wife, so why bother saying a few words to me? "
Dai Mubai, with the bloodthirsty look of a fierce tiger, lunged forward with his newly evolved claws. A flicker of disdain crossed Li Tianyi's face.
"Bigger isn't always better, muscles.
"With a swish,
Li Tianyi easily dodged the incoming attack. His hands flashed with light, grabbing Dai Mubai's lower back, lifting him up and throwing him sideways.
At that moment, a pair of tall legs in pink stockings rushed forward, wrapping around Li Tianyi's neck.
"Soft technique! No, forget it!"
Despite the beauty of the legs, Li Tianyi had no time to admire them. The force emanating from them threatened to break his neck.
Simultaneously, thorny vines and the shadowy spirit cat appeared at his side.
Surrounded by attacks from three sides, Li Tianyi acted decisively, leaping high into the air. In mid-air, he manipulated his abdominal and back muscles to invert his body, dragging Xiao Wu's delicate body with him as he plummeted headfirst into the ground.
Seeing Li Tianyi's mutually devastating attack, Xiao Wu curled up and dodged.
A flash of light flashed in Li Tianyi's mind. Not intending to land headfirst, he thrust a single hand toward the ground.
With a loud bang, a figure landed headfirst on the ground, one arm lifted.
Zhao Wuji quickly turned his head to look at Ning Fengzhi, then smiled wryly. "Master Ning, your sect's disciples' combat prowess is truly astonishing."
After a compliment, he changed the subject, "But once Xiao San and the others truly demonstrate their strength and coordination, this brat will definitely be no match."
Ning Fengzhi remained silent, gesturing towards the field. Four muffled thuds echoed, and four figures flew far away. The light generated by all the released spirits within the field instantly vanished.
Zhao Wuji's mouth dropped open, a look of astonishment.
Only two people remained in the arena.
Li Tianyi, his face stern, pointed a finger at Ning Rongrong's forehead, as if the slightest movement would provoke a thunderbolt strike.
Ning Rongrong's expression lost its arrogance. She caught sight of the other four figures lying on the ground, and dared not move a muscle.
"Alas, two less," he sighed, retracting his finger and turning. Li Tianyi's gaze pierced Zhao Wuji outside the arena.
"Boom!"
Golden flames suddenly erupted from his body. Li Tianyi's pupils vanished, his hair stood on end. His indifferent expression vanished, his face filled with fury.
The surging fighting spirit surging from him seemed to materialize, directed at Zhao Wuji below.
A hoarse, irritable voice then rang out:
"Teacher Zhao!"
"As I wish. Please fight me!"
