Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Su Ming: Who Do You Think You Are?
Xiao Wu thought to herself, As expected, I knew Su Ming would probably choose that name!
Master, standing nearby, muttered to himself, "Arashi Kick? The word 'Arashi' indeed conveys the idea of a vacuum, not bad at all."
Su Ming overheard Yu Xiaogang's mumbling. In truth, he wasn't great at naming things. While Arashi Kick suited the technique, it didn't seem quite fitting for a girl.
Time passed, and finally, their team's first group battle began. However, likely due to their late registration or their high levels, they were scheduled for the final match of the night.
Master reminded them, "Group battles are different from two-on-two matches. Team coordination is crucial. It's up to you to figure out how to respond on the battlefield."
Dai Mubai added, "Master, don't worry. Our teamwork is solid. Even though Su Ming is primarily a support-type soul master right now, his fourth spirit ability is quite formidable."
"Besides, Tang San's strength has increased significantly after obtaining his third spirit ring. As a control-type soul master, he's perfect for orchestrating the battlefield."
Dai Mubai believed he had spoken well, neither offending Su Ming nor missing the chance to highlight Tang San's abilities.
In truth, given their current strength, if their opponents weren't soul ancestors, they wouldn't even need much coordination to steamroll through the battle. However, if they did face a team of soul ancestors, Su Ming's ability to control the field would be key.
Su Ming was practically an all-around soul master—capable of controlling enemies, defending allies, and launching attacks. He was the most suitable candidate to lead the team in battle.
However, since Su Ming could only use his fourth spirit ability this time, Tang San would take over the role of battlefield coordinator.
Tang San exchanged a glance with Dai Mubai and didn't decline. It was true that control-type soul masters were typically the core of a team, and Tang San took this responsibility seriously.
He was eager to show Xiao Wu how his Blue Silver Grass could dominate the battlefield and support his teammates!
"Alright," Tang San continued, "Mubai, Xiao Wu, and Zhuqing will be our main attackers. I'll stay in the middle to control and support everyone. Su Ming, Rongrong, and Xiao Ao, stay behind me. Su Ming, although you can only use your fourth spirit ability, self-created techniques aren't restricted. So, use Lingbo Weibu when necessary to help Xiao Ao and Rongrong avoid damage."
"Oscar, prepare your three kinds of sausages for everyone. Can you handle that?"
Oscar nodded. "No problem, I've got plenty of soul power. But..."
He glanced at Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing. From the time they'd entered the academy, the three girls had never once eaten one of his sausages. Did they really despise them that much?
The others understood Oscar's concern. Xiao Wu spoke up, "Don't worry. If we really need to, we'll eat them!"
She discreetly winked at the two other girls, who nodded in agreement.
To outsiders, it seemed like the girls had accepted the offer. But only the three of them knew the truth. Xiao Wu had already communicated their real plan through the diary: they would never eat such creepy sausages, even in danger. With their enhanced abilities, they were confident they could fight well above their level.
And Ning Rongrong? She had nothing to fear. Su Ming's role on the battlefield was to support the team and protect her and Oscar. She trusted that Su Ming would keep her safe in any dangerous situation.
In a few more days, once she fully mastered Lingbo Weibu, she'd be able to protect herself against any soul master of similar strength.
The team waited in a resting room to restore their soul power and prepare mentally for the match. With their masks on, they drew a lot of attention from the other teams in the room, many curious about where this group had come from.
While Su Ming and his team quietly meditated, a burly man over two meters tall approached them.
"Hey, little lady, nice figure you've got there. Why cover it up so much? Come on, let me have a look!" The man directed his words toward Zhu Zhuqing, whose curvy figure was concealed under her cloak. He couldn't see their ages, but to him, it didn't matter—her body was all he cared about.
Though his main goal was to probe their strength, he couldn't help but admire Zhu Zhuqing's form.
"Scram." Zhu Zhuqing's voice was as cold as ice, fitting perfectly with her personality.
Su Ming immediately recognized the man—it was Kuang Xi from the Kuang Zhan Team. It seemed the arena supervisor had sent him over to test them. The Kuang Zhan Team was no joke; all its members were above level 35.
"Give me some respect, girl! Do you even know who I am?" Kuang Xi snapped, reaching out toward Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes remained cold. If he dared touch her, she wouldn't just stand there and take it.
Dai Mubai saw Zhu Zhuqing about to be struck and saw this as a prime opportunity to earn her favor by stepping in. However, someone was even faster than him.
A massive wooden hand suddenly shot up from the ground and grabbed Kuang Xi. Caught off guard, the brute's expression shifted in panic as he tried to dodge, but the wooden hand moved too fast. In an instant, it wrapped tightly around him, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free. His face turned from black to a deep purple, unable to breathe.
Su Ming stepped forward, his dark eyes locked on Kuang Xi like a predator eyeing its prey. His voice was low and menacing. "What did you just say? Want to repeat that? I don't know who you think you are, but why are you so useless?"
Kuang Xi stared into Su Ming's pitch-black eyes, feeling as if he were a mere ant facing a giant. For the first time in his life, he felt like this young man could kill him with ease.
