42: Dumplings are being cooked in Luojiang

Ke Yingtian shouted to the crowd behind him, "Zhang Daniu, Zhang Erniu!"

"Present!"

"Present!"

"Brother Tian, what do you need us for?"

Two big guys, both over two meters tall, walked over. Their voices were like tigers, and their builds were like bulls.

They were brothers who had both awakened an Extraordinary Talent: Level 3 'Body,' giving them the strength of bears.

Ke Yingtian said, "I'm giving you two a task."

"See those people opposite us? Their clothes have 'Luo Jiang Prefecture' embroidered on the chest. Once the fight starts, don't do anything else. Just keep watch. As soon as one of them falls and can't get up, pick them up and throw them into the Luo River."

"Brother Tian, is that really okay?"

"We won't kill anyone, right?"

"It's fine. The bridge is only 10 meters above the water. Besides, haven't you noticed? There are more and more aircraft in the sky, and even the rescue teams have arrived."

Everyone looked up and saw that it was true.

Hundreds of aircraft hovered in the air, and there were dozens of rescue aircraft on both banks of the river.

"Alright, Brother Tian, we'll listen to you."

One hour passed.

"Li Fangnan, go forward and give them a shout."

"Qin Sheng, what should I say?"

Qin Sheng said, "Since ancient times, when two armies face off, they have to talk tough and announce their names at the front line."

"Here, take this."

Li Fangnan: "?"

"Where did you get a megaphone?"

"Nonsense, you have to be prepared. When you fight, you can lose the battle, but you can't lose face!"

Li Fangnan nodded, "Alright."

He took the megaphone and tested it.

"Hello, hello..."

"I have to say, it's pretty loud."

Li Fangnan stepped forward with the megaphone and said loudly:

"The great wind rises, and the clouds fly high..."

Everyone: "..."

On the Prefecture City side.

Duan Shuyu frowned, "Xue Cheng, what is the other side doing?"

Xue Cheng shrugged, "How should I know?"

Qin Tian had his arms crossed, expressionless and silent... "Li Fangnan, are you sick? I told you to talk tough and then announce who you are!" Qin Sheng cursed, frustrated by his incompetence.

Li Fangnan rubbed his chin in thought, "Talk tough? Announce who I am?"

"Ah, I've got it."

Li Fangnan's eyes lit up, and he picked up the megaphone again. "Listen up, you grandsons on the other side! I am your father!"

"I am your father..."

"Your father..."

"..."

The loud voice echoed continuously across both banks of the Luo River.

"Done."

He turned around.

Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Li Fangnan said proudly, "How was that? Wasn't it awesome?"

Qin Sheng sighed, "Where do you want to be buried when you get beaten to death in the future?"

On the opposite side.

The faces of the Trainees from the Prefecture City were as dark as water, their eyes radiating a sharp Killing Intent.

"Damn it!"

"Kill that kid!"

"Dammit, I'm going to skin that brat alive."

"Throw him into the Luo River to feed the Dragon Fish."

The Prefecture City side was filled with towering rage, and they charged forward all at once.

Xiao Weiqing saw the enemy's vanguard charging and immediately took the lead to meet them.

The people from Anqiu City followed closely behind.

"Charge!"

"Beat them up!"

The two groups of people clashed.

"Bang!"

Xiao Weiqing struck the chest of the foremost person with his palm, and the man immediately fell to the ground.

Before he could even crawl back up, the man felt his world spin. He was picked up by his feet, head hanging down.

"Eh? What are you doing? What are you doing?"

Zhang Daniu ignored him, holding him in his hand like a little chick.

"Off you go!"

A figure flew into the Luo River in a perfect arc.

"Splash!"

The first person to fall into the river appeared.

And so it began.

On the bridge.

Like a row of dominoes being pushed over, a chain reaction formed. People were constantly falling into the water—tall, short, fat, or thin, regardless of gender.

They were not only Trainees from the Prefecture City side but also Trainees from the allied other cities.

It started raining dumplings on the Luo River Bridge.

The aircraft constantly shot out fishing nets to scoop up the Trainees, one batch on the left, another on the right.

In just ten minutes.

Nearly a thousand people had fallen into the Luo River.

At this moment.

At the center of the battle.

Xiao Weiqing and Duan Shuyu stood five meters apart.

Duan Shuyu smiled lightly, "Shall we try?"

"That's exactly what I was thinking."

The next second.

Duan Shuyu erupted with Spiritual Qi. Pushing off with his feet, he reached Xiao Weiqing in an instant and threw a punch.

"So fast!"

Xiao Weiqing's pupils constricted slightly. He met the punch with his elbow, striking back.

"Hmph!"

Both men retreated several steps.

"Not bad!"

Duan Shuyu praised.

Xiao Weiqing ignored him and struck out with a palm, sending flames instantly to Duan Shuyu's face.

Duan Shuyu neither dodged nor avoided it. He struck back with his own palm, Spiritual Qi surging from his palm as electric arcs shot out in all directions.

"Boom!"

The point of impact exploded violently, and ripples of Spiritual Qi radiated outwards.

Xiao Weiqing frowned slightly and shook his palm. A faint sensation of numbness stung his skin.

Duan Shuyu was horrified in his heart. His palm was bright red; if not for the protection of his Spiritual Qi, he feared his palm would have been cooked already.

Even though he had learned of Xiao Weiqing's strength from Yin Tiantian and hadn't underestimated him, he felt he had still undervalued the thickness of Xiao Weiqing's Spiritual Qi and the temperature of those flames.

However, before Duan Shuyu could think further, Xiao Weiqing attacked again.

In an instant.

The flames on his palm soared, as if he were holding a red sun, scorching the air and distorting space.

He slammed it heavily against Duan Shuyu.

"Thunder Light Body Protection!"

Lightning flared intensely on Duan Shuyu's upper body, forming a protective curtain of light. Snake-like electric arcs flickered, forcefully blocking Xiao Weiqing's strike.

But even so, Duan Shuyu was forced back several meters by the impact.

Duan Shuyu was terrified. What kind of power was this?

"Xue Cheng, help me!"

"Coming."

Nearby, Xue Cheng forced his opponent back with a single strike.

Seeing his chance, Duan Shuyu's Spiritual Qi boiled, exploding to its limit. His figure vanished like a ghost, crossing several meters in an instant as he threw a punch at Xiao Weiqing.

"Good timing!"

Spiritual Qi overflowed from Xiao Weiqing's hand as he simultaneously injected Qi Fire.

But.

Just then, a sharp pain shot through his mind.

"Ugh..."

It only lasted for a split second.

Xiao Weiqing reacted, but the attack had already arrived. With no time to counter Duan Shuyu's strike, he could only raise his arm to block.

"Bang!"

Xiao Weiqing was knocked back several meters.

"Brother Qing!"

Wei Lan flashed over to him.

"Are you alright?"

Xiao Weiqing stood up and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

"I'm fine."

Opposite them, Xue Cheng's eyes narrowed until they were almost invisible.

"Old Duan, this Xiao Weiqing has very high Mental Energy. He reacted in an instant."

Duan Shuyu said, "Try it again. This time, I'll defeat him in one move."

Pale blue Spiritual Qi began to overflow from Duan Shuyu's right hand, mixed with lightning to form a ball of thunder that radiated an aura of destruction.

"Good!"

Xue Cheng's heart stirred, and his eyes opened slightly.

The next second.

Xiao Weiqing felt an ethereal force attacking him, but before he could move, Wei Lan stepped forward and blocked him.

"How dare you!"

With a delicate shout, a flash of red light appeared in the pupils beneath Wei Lan's beautiful eyes.

"Ah!"

Xue Cheng felt as if his head had been struck by a sledgehammer. He instantly lost his footing and fell to the ground, his face deathly pale.

His eyes were full of terror as he looked at Wei Lan.

"You..."
