Kapitel 36: CH 36: Qing Li VS 3 5
"Tang San wins!" The reporter of the Great Soul Arena spoke into his microphone as the battle between Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing ended :"One win and zero losses. Zhu Zhuqing with zero wins and one loss." While the spectators cheered for him, Zhu Zhuqing walked back calmly.
In the hallway that she walked into the arena, she saw Ah Li standing calmly. Feeling like she had embarrassed her teammate, she felt a bit ashamed. Looking down slightly, she whispered :"I lost..." And the noiret nodded calmly :"You did." Causing her to grow even more ashamed.
"But it's not a bad thing." However, Ah Li smiled gently, catching her attention as he explained :"The reason why you lost isn't because there is a gap of strength between you, but because you made the wrong moves and wrong choices from the get go. Do you know how to deal with Control System Soul Masters?"
"... I don't." Instead of trying to look smart, she admitted to her own lack of knowledge. Something that Ah Li, and even Bibi Dong, appreciated. After all, you should know and acknowledge your weaknesses to make them disappear. So seeing her not being ashamed to admit them and be willing to learn, they were satisfied with it.
"Space. That's the advantage that Control System Soul Masters make the most use of." With a calm expression, Ah Li began to explain :"What is the role of Control System Soul Masters? Controlling the enemies? Controlling the allies? Kinda correct, but not quite the answer.
What they control, is the battlefield.
The entire space of the battlefield and whatever is in it. For that, they need a big space to make the best use of their advantage. So what would happen if you limited that space? Limited the battlefield? You'll completely take away their advantage. Although Control System Soul Masters are still War Soul Masters and aren't considered as Auxiliary System Soul Masters, their physical and personal prowess isn't comparable to an actual War Soul Master.
The reason why they are considered as War Soul Masters is because they are directly involved in the battle and fight as well. Unlike Auxiliary System Soul Masters that just provide support. But just like them, they need to be in the rear and protected. So the best solution is taking away that space and getting as close as possible to fight them one on one.
That's where your mistake lied in. Instead of quickly attacking and closing the space, you did the complete opposite and escaped from him instead. Didn't you notice how Tang San was attacking in a certain way and pattern to get you far away instead of actually trying to hurt you?"
"I see." With a look of realization, her face brightened as she nodded. The reason why she was down was because she didn't know how she lost and what she should have done. But with Ah Li's explanation, she understood her wrong choices and was determined to train and get better. Seeing it, the noiret gave a satisfied smile and nodded :"It's good to see you're willing to learn from your mistakes instead of being stubborn.
But there was something else that you did wrong as well. Dragging on the battle. You are an Agility Attack System Soul Master, Zhu Zhuqing. Your style of fighting should be quick and deadly to finish the fight as fast as possible. As an Agility Attack System Soul Master, you're not suitable to drag on the fight for long. Especially not against a Control System Soul Master of all things.
It was foolish to not go all out from the get. Especially not using your 1st Soul Skill: Hell Rush Stab. By doubling your speed, the fight would have been a lot easier. After all, your main weapon is your speed. By doubling your speed, you'd basically be doubling your combat prowess. But you didn't do it from the beginning, and it was too late after being captured."
"I... See..." Although she was willing to acknowledge and learn from her mistakes, hearing the blunders that she had made was still not a pleasant feeling. Although she was happy to learn, she was still a bit ashamed since it was an embarrassing fight.
"Hahaha, but hey, it's alright." But Ah Li just chuckled as he patted her head gently, catching her off guard as he smiled gently :"It's better to learn it here, in a friendly spar, rather than on the battlefield where your life would be in danger because of your weaknesses, right? So although it may be a bit embarrassing, it's at least worth it."
"Um..." She nodded, a light blush on her cheeks as she looked down :"Are you... Going to continue doing that...?" It was obvious that she was hinting to him gently stroking her head, causing the noiret to chuckle with a teasing smile :"Why, you don't want me to? You seem to be enjoying it quite a bit though."
"T-that's not true!" She blushed even more, trying to shake away his hand and causing him to chuckle again :"Alright, already! I won't tease you." Letting her calm down as he lowered his hand :"Alright, let's go back now. My fight should be starting in a bit as well." And the next moment he finished speaking, the announcer's voice was heard :"Iron Fighting Badge Ah Li, please enter the 15th battle stage."
"Speak of the devil." He mused :"Alright, I'm off then." With a smile, he nodded at Zhu Zhuqing before walking towards the battlefield. The noirette nodded back :"Um, good luck." Causing him to wave back without looking back, a devilish smile on his face as he entered the field.
-
"Hmph, take this, you fucking brat!" The opponent, a Lv 20 Soul Grandmaster, roared as he rushed towards Ah Li, trying to finish the battle as soon as possible. The noiret's two 10,000-year black Soul Rings had really freaked him out, so he didn't want to take any chances. However, instead of using any special moves or activating any of his Soul Skills, Ah Li's palm suddenly hit him straight in the cheek.
Nobody had time to react. Because the bitch slap came too fast, and struck with the force of a fucking train. The moment the slap struck his face, he didn't even react as his face morphed with the slap's force. The flesh of his face jumped around with the power in the bitch slap before he was shot away, rolling in the air like a beyblade before he hit the wall outside of the arena and passed out.
"..."
"... Huh?"
"What just happened...?"
"D-did he lose...? What did that kid do???"
The audience, who were in the middle of cheering, suddenly got quiet when the opponent was suddenly sent flying. They only saw him rushing towards Ah Li before he was sent flying. They didn't even see the noiret making a move. He was just sent flying when he reached him. However, from the gesture of his hand, they could guess what just happened.
He got slapped. Bitch slapped. Hard, at that.
'Self Created Soul Skill: Bitch Slap. Super effective against bitches, and costs zero Soul Power.' The noiret in question smirked internally before bringing his hand down and calling out to the shocked announcer :"Hey, you gonna announce the results or what?" And the announcer immediately got himself together :"U-uh right! Ah Li wins! One win and zero losses!"
-
"And that's what you call a fight." When he returned to where the others were, he smirked before turning to Zhu Zhuqing :"The 2 VS 2 battle should start in a little while. We should rest a bit just to be careful."
"Um, you're right." The noirette didn't have any reason to disagree, so she nodded in response. However, that didn't seem to be the Great Soul Arena's plan. The moment they finished speaking, an announcement came :"The fifth round, 2 VS 2. The Qing Li VS 3 5! Both teams please get ready."
"... Hooo?" The noiret mused, a chuckle leaving him as he glanced at the pedophile duo :"Well ain't this a bitch? You two better get ready to get your asses kicked. C'mon, Zhu Zhuqing. We should get to the battle stage already." Although he was a bit surprised by the match up, he wasn't sad at all. Any chance to kick the asses of those two was always welcomed with open arms. "Um." As Zhu Zhuqing nodded seriously, happy to get a chance of revenge, she followed behind him, leaving the two who were shocked by the chain of events behind.
"Shit, this is bad..." Tang San cursed, clenching his fists in frustration with a gloomy face :'Facing Ah Li will be very hard at the moment. Without those powerful Hidden Weapons that I haven't created yet, it's almost impossible to win against him... No, that's not the case! Even without my Hidden Weapons, I can still win with my Tang Sect Techniques!'
"Xiao San, what should we do...?" Xiao Wu looked at him nervously. Although she hated Ah Li, she also felt like she couldn't beat him. The battle prowess that the noiret had shown recently had left her nervous and unsure of victory.
"I'll come up with a plan." Tang San shook his head with a serious expression :"Although he is strong, he isn't invincible. As long as we make a plan, we can win this battle. We just have to be careful." And after a moment, Xiao Wu nodded seriously as well, her love and blind trust in Tang San giving her the confidence to win this battle.
-
As the four of them entered the battle stage from two different sides, the announcer introduced :"Tonight, we have a duo battle between two teams that have formed very recently. In team Qing Li, we have the Lv 27 Soul Grandmaster Ah Li with the Abyssal Centipede Martial Soul, and the Lv 27 Soul Grandmaster Zhu Zhuqing with the Hell Civet Martial Soul! And in team 3 5, we have the Lv 29 Soul Grandmaster Tang San with the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, and the Lv 29 Soul Grandmaster Xiao Wu with the Soft Boned Rabbit Martial Soul!
Clearly, the 3 5 team is dominating the battle with their Soul Power Level. However, will they be able to secure the victory with just their Soul Power Level? We'll just have to see for ourselves! Now let the battle begin!"
"Stick to the plan, alright? You take care of Tang San and I'll take care of Xiao Wu. Be careful though, he has some tricks. But don't worry, I'll support you as well." Ah Li smirked at Zhu Zhuqing, excited about getting to beat their asses as the serious Zhu Zhuqing nodded back.
No time was wasted. They all released their Martial Souls and got to it. The people in the audience who hadn't seen Ah Li's Soul Rings being shocked as usual while he ignored them. Instead, he immediately rushed towards the duo with Zhu Zhuqing by his side. His target being Xiao Wu, and her's being Tang San.
"Xiao Wu, be careful!" Tang San obviously noticed it, and quickly activated his 1st Soul Skill: Bind. Smirking, Ah Li's tails got to action, cutting the Blue Silver Grass Vines in front of him while Zhu Zhuqing did the same on her side. He also cut the Blue Silver Grass Vines that tried to come from tricky sides.
"Damn it!" Tang San gritted his teeth, nodding at Xiao Wu who nodded back. If he couldn't directly trap Ah Li and Zhu Zhuqing, then he could at least assist Xiao Wu while fighting alongside her. As she rushed towards Ah Li, she immediately got ready to attack. But the same moment the noiret's kick landed mercilessly on her guts, causing her to stagger backwards while holding her stomach in pain, gasping for air. He seriously wasn't planning on holding back while not using his Orbs.
But even without his Orbs, it still felt like a train ran over her guts. She was barely holding herself back from falling to her knees. Even a bit of saliva was drooling down as she focused on gasping for air. Seeing her condition training so bad in a single moment, Tang San was immediately shocked, worried and angered :"Xiao Wu!"
However, the next second, a punch landed directly on his face, causing him to take a few steps back. Holding his face in pain, he turned to see that Zhu Zhuqing had used her 1st Soul Skill: Hell Rush Stab, to double her speed at his moment of vulnerability to strike him.
With the same cold, calm and collected look as always, she looked at him with her claws ready to deal some damage :"You do not have the luxury of being distracted." And so, the battle went on just like that, with the Qing Li team dominating the battle and 3 5 team only being on the passive and getting beaten up.
