Chapter 43 Mechanical Rotor VS Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes! Turning the "Simp " into a Subordinate
There are ten minutes left before the next match begins.
The atmosphere in the locker room of the full-time team was not tense like before a big battle; instead, it was filled with a pink and romantic atmosphere.
"Captain, your collar is crooked."
Dugu Yan stretched out her slender fingers and carefully straightened Ye Feng's team uniform collar. She had specially applied light purple lip gloss today, and the unique fragrance of the evolved Azure Phosphorous Serpent King emanating from her body was like a hook, piercing into Ye Feng's nose.
After straightening her collar, she casually drew a circle on Ye Feng's chest, her eyes full of seductive charm: "That big wolfhound (Feng Xiaotian) has said he'll beat you down for Huo Wu's sake. You can't lose, or he'll feel sorry for you."
"Don't worry." Ye Feng grabbed her mischievous little hand, kissed it, and said, "It's just a husky, it can't cause any trouble."
"Have some water .
On the other side, Shui Bing'er handed over a glass of warm water. She still had that aloof and cold demeanor, but her gaze towards Ye Feng was so tender it could melt hearts.
"Everyone at Kamikaze Academy has the ability to fly, so fighting in the air is at a disadvantage for us. Be careful."
As she spoke, she glanced at Dugu Yan seemingly unintentionally, then reached out and gently brushed the stray hairs from Ye Feng's forehead. Her fingertips were cool to the touch. "If... if you win, I'll make you chilled plum juice tonight."
"Me too! Me too!" Leng Qianqian jumped out from behind and clung to Ye Feng's back. "I want to eat barbecue! If we beat Feng Xiaotian, I want to eat his wolf meat!"
Surrounded by three beautiful women, Ye Feng felt that he had reached the pinnacle of his life.
Hu Yanli and Ye Shaotian, who were sitting in the corner, exchanged a glance and silently put on their sunglasses.
"Old Hu, I think we're superfluous." "Yeah, me too. This dog food is too much."
Mingyue leaned against the door, watching this scene with a smile on her lips. Although she didn't rush over like a little girl, the trust and doting in her beautiful eyes were her strongest support.
"Alright, time's up." Mingyue clapped her hands. "Go on stage. Go and turn that 'Divine Wind' into 'Gentle Breeze'."
...
On the arena.
The Kamikaze Academy team was already lined up and ready.
The team members were all dressed in identical light blue uniforms, each with a tall and slender build and sharp eyes. Although Feng Xiaotian, who was leading the team, was wearing a mask, the fighting spirit burning in his eyes was almost tangible.
"Ye Feng!" Feng Xiaotian stared intently at the black-clad youth who walked onto the stage.
The scene of Ye Feng embracing Huo Wu yesterday felt like a thorn in his heart. As Huo Wu's number one suitor, he absolutely could not allow such "desecration" to happen. "Today's bet still stands! If I lose, my life is yours! But if you lose... from now on, when you see Huo Wu, stay away!"
Ye Feng, holding an umbrella in one hand , lazily yawned. "Alright, alright, don't make the atmosphere so tense. I remember the bet, but..." Ye Feng glanced at the others from Shenfeng Academy. "Are you all coming at me together, or one-on-one?"
"Arrogance!" the vice-captain of Shenfeng Academy roared. "Our Shenfeng Academy is the fastest among the five elemental academies! Brothers, take off!"
Whoosh! A sudden gust of wind arose. The seven members of Shenfeng Academy simultaneously released their martial spirits, and cyan wind wings materialized behind them. Their feet left the ground, and they flew directly into the air, more than thirty meters above the ground, looking down at the All-Round Team from above.
"That's our advantage!" Feng Xiaotian said proudly. "In the air, we are invincible! Your melee weapons and tanks can't even touch us!"
This is indeed the most disgusting thing about Kamikaze Academy.
With all personnel flying, they utilize long-range wind blades to wear down the enemy, much like bombers attacking infantry—a complete dimensional reduction strike.
Huo Wu, sitting in the audience, stared intently at the scene, her hands unconsciously clenching. "Feng Xiaotian... you have to win..." Although she didn't like Feng Xiaotian, she didn't want to see the arrogant Ye Feng continue to be so smug.
On the arena.
Looking at the seven "birdmen" flying in the sky, Ye Feng laughed. "Aerial superiority? Who gave you that confidence?"
Ye Feng turned to his teammates and said, "Same as always, you guys handle those henchmen. Feng Xiaotian, I'll take care of him." With that, the Thousand Chance Umbrella in his hand suddenly trembled.
"Thousand Chance Umbrella - Flight Form - Mechanical Rotor!"
Crackling sound— Whoosh! A sickening metallic crackling sound rang out. The Thousand Manifestations Umbrella's canopy didn't open; instead, the ribs rapidly elongated and widened, transforming into four sharp propeller blades. A stream of blue soul power flames shot out from the end of the handle.
"Whoosh! Take off!" Ye Feng gripped the parachute handles tightly, and with the immense lift generated by the high-speed rotation of the propellers, he soared straight into the sky like a helicopter!
"What?!" "He can fly?!" The entire audience and the people from Shenfeng Academy were dumbfounded. What kind of strange martial soul form was that? It could actually fly like a soul tool?
"It's not over yet!" Ye Feng, in mid-air, gripped the rotor with one hand while pulling two modified hand crossbows (actually small components separated from the Thousand Manifestations Umbrella) from his waist with the other. "Aerial firepower suppression!"
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat! Countless bullets formed from concentrated soul power poured out like a torrential rain, accurately sweeping towards the other six members of the Divine Wind Academy team.
"Ah!" "My wings!" The members of the Kamikaze Academy were caught off guard and fell to the ground, hit by bullets.
Meanwhile, Shui Bing'er on the ground wasn't idle either. "First Soul Skill: Ice Seal!" Anyone who landed would instantly be frozen into an ice sculpture. Hu Yanli below was even waiting with his hands raised: "Hehe, I'll catch every one that falls! This is the most fun catching game I've ever played!"
In the blink of an eye, Shenfeng Academy's aerial advantage vanished, leaving only Feng Xiaotian struggling to hold on in the air.
"Damn it! Ye Feng!" Feng Xiaotian's eyes turned bloodshot as he watched his teammates being shot down one by one. "You forced me to do this! Let me show you my self-created ultimate technique!"
The two-headed wolf phantom behind Feng Xiaotian howled to the sky, and the wind wings behind him merged with his arms, transforming into two cyan wind blades. His body began to spin rapidly in the air, and with the help of the wind, his speed increased, like a cyan tornado rushing towards Ye Feng.
"Thirty-six Consecutive Slashes of the Gale Wolf!"
The first strike! Ye Feng maneuvered the rotor to the side to dodge, the wind blade grazing the hem of his clothes, bringing a chill.
"So fast." Ye Feng's eyes narrowed. This move was indeed powerful, utilizing rotation to amplify power, each strike stronger than the last. By the thirty-sixth strike, its power was comparable to a Soul Emperor's full-force attack!
The second strike! The third strike! ...The tenth strike! Feng Xiaotian's attacks were like a storm, and Ye Feng was like a leaf falling in the wind in the air. It seemed like he was in great danger, but he managed to dodge each attack by the slightest margin.
"Hide? Let's see how long you can hide!" Feng Xiaotian roared, his speed increasing once more. The Eighteenth Slash! The Twenty-Fourth Slash!
At this moment, Feng Xiaotian had transformed into a ball of azure light and shadow, and the terrifying wind pressure even caused cracks to appear on the arena below.
"That's about enough." Ye Feng suddenly stopped dodging. He hovered in the air, watching Feng Xiaotian charging towards him with immense force. "Thirty-six consecutive strikes? It's indeed a genius's idea. Unfortunately, any combo can be interrupted."
The mechanical rotors in Ye Feng's hand suddenly retracted, and the Thousand Manifestations Umbrella instantly transformed. The tip of the umbrella popped out, turning into a jet-black spear. "Thousand Manifestations Umbrella - Spear Form!"
Ye Feng didn't retreat; instead, he charged forward to meet Feng Xiaotian's thirty-sixth strike—his strongest attack! A flash of dark golden light appeared on his body. That was the ultimate power granted by the Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear Soul Bone!
"Dragon Fang! Sky Strike! Falling Flower Palm!" (A classic combo of Battle Mages from The King's Avatar, but in Douluo Continent it has been transformed into pure skill and soul power burst.)
"break!!!"
Ding—!
A deafening metallic clang rang out in the air. Time seemed to stand still for a second.
Immediately afterwards, boom! The azure tornado instantly dissipated. A figure, like a kite with a broken string, plummeted from the sky, crashing heavily onto the arena and creating a large crater.
The smoke and dust cleared. Feng Xiaotian lay at the bottom of the pit, his arms trembling, his wind wings shattered, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. He stared blankly at the sky, clearly still reeling from the devastating defeat he had just witnessed.
His thirty-six consecutive slashes were forcibly interrupted by Ye Feng's extremely precise spear strike, which struck directly at the point of power!
Ye Feng slowly descended, put away the Thousand Chance Umbrella, walked to the edge of the pit, and looked down at Feng Xiaotian. "You lost."
The entire stadium fell silent. Then, a deafening roar of cheers erupted.
"All-round team! Ye Feng! King of Aerial Combat!"
...
After the game.
Supported by his teammates, Feng Xiaotian walked pale-faced to Ye Feng.
He pulled his hand away from his teammate, took a deep breath, and then—
With a "thump," he knelt down on one knee.
"You have to accept the consequences of your bet."
Feng Xiaotian's voice was somewhat hoarse, but exceptionally firm: "From today onwards, I, Feng Xiaotian, am at your beck and call."
This scene stunned everyone around.
The captain of the prestigious Shenfeng Academy actually knelt down and became someone else's underling?
Ye Feng looked at Feng Xiaotian in front of him, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
Although this guy is a sycophant , he's definitely a man of principle, able to take things in stride.
"Get up." Ye Feng reached out and helped him up.
"I don't need slaves, I only need partners. Or rather... future allies." Ye Feng leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Want to become stronger? Want to win over Huo Wu? Follow me, I'll teach you."
Feng Xiaotian suddenly looked up, his eyes blazing with an unprecedented light. "Boss! From now on, you're my real boss!"
...
Exit of the contestant passage.
Ye Feng had just seen off his newly recruited underling, Feng Xiaotian, and was preparing to return to the hotel with his beauties to enjoy the fruits of his victory. Suddenly, a fiery red figure blocked their path.
"Ye Feng, you stop right there!"
The newcomer was Huo Wu. Today, she wasn't wearing her team uniform, but rather a long red dress that accentuated her stunning figure and fair skin. However, her pretty face was filled with complex emotions.
"Oh, isn't this Huo Wu?" Dugu Yan was the first to step forward, hooking her arm around Ye Feng's arm with hostility. "What? You're still upset about losing yesterday, so you're here to cause trouble again today? Or... are you here to stand up for your simp?"
"Shut up! I wasn't talking to you!" Huo Wu glared at Dugu Yan, then looked directly at Ye Feng. She bit her lip, seemingly engaged in some intense internal struggle.
"Ye Feng, I admit, you're very strong. Even Feng Xiaotian lost to you." Huo Wu took a deep breath, her chest heaving. "But I'm not convinced! What you did to me yesterday... I have to get an explanation!"
"An explanation?" Ye Feng smiled, gently patting Dugu Yan's hand to signal her to calm down. Then, he walked step by step towards Huo Wu. With each step, his aura grew stronger, forcing Huo Wu to subconsciously want to retreat, but her pride made her stand still.
Until the distance between them was less than ten centimeters. Ye Feng lowered his head, looking into Huo Wu's stubborn yet slightly panicked eyes. "What explanation do you want? Do you want me to take responsibility? Or do you want me... to hug you one more time?"
"You...you pervert!" Huo Wu's face instantly turned bright red, like a ripe tomato.
"If you only came here to say these two sentences, then you've finished." Ye Feng suddenly stopped smiling, his eyes becoming somewhat profound. "Huo Wu, your talent is good, and your Fusion Ring talent is even rarer. But your mind is too chaotic. You care about winning and losing, you care about other people's opinions, and you care even more about... me."
"Who...who cares about you!" Huo Wu was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"If you don't care about me, why did you go to the trouble of changing into a dress and coming here to ambush me?" Ye Feng pointed out her ulterior motives incisively. Huo Wu was speechless for a moment.
"You're still far from being able to defeat me or conquer me." Ye Feng reached out and gently picked up a strand of red hair from Huo Wu's ear, twirling it between his fingers. "However, I don't mind giving you a chance." "The promotion match is in three days. If your Blazing Fire Academy can force out my second martial soul (although it hasn't awakened yet, I can pretend), I'll grant you one request. Any request."
"On the contrary…" Ye Feng leaned close to her ear, his warm breath brushing against her sensitive earlobe, "you'll have to listen to me obediently, okay?"
Huo Wu felt half her body go numb, her heart pounding like thunder. This was a trap. Even knowing it was a trap, her proud and competitive spirit made it impossible for her to refuse. "Fine! It's a deal!" Huo Wu abruptly pushed Ye Feng away, her face flushed, and turned to run away as if fleeing in panic.
Watching Huo Wu's departing figure, Ye Feng's lips curled into a triumphant smile. This wild horse was not far from being tamed.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Captain, your flirting skills are getting more and more sophisticated." A chilling voice came from behind. Shui Bing'er was looking at him with a half-smile, still holding a piece of ice in her hand. "You even dare to set conditions so casually? Any conditions? What if she lets you dump us all?"
"Uh..." Ye Feng instantly broke out in a cold sweat. "Um... Bing'er, let me explain! This is all tactics! Tactics!"
"Hmph! You're not allowed in my room tonight!" "You're not allowed in mine either!" Dugu Yan added. "You're not allowed in mine either!" Leng Qianqian chimed in.
Ye Feng cried out, "Teacher Mingyue, help!" Mingyue gracefully walked by, leaving behind the words, "You brought this on yourself."
As the sun set, the playful noises of the All-Star team faded into the distance. And as the qualifiers progressed, Ye Feng and his All-Star team had become the undisputed champions of the entire Tiandou region.
