127: Chapter 127 You Blow Up My Brother, I'll Blow Up Your Brother Too

"Will all teams please step onto the arena!"

Following the referee's voice, the five members of Lin Mos Squad walked onto the arena with steady steps.

Opposite them, five young men and women with dyed red hair were already lined up and waiting, their bodies radiating intense fluctuations of Soul Power.

Even the air around the arena seemed to have been baked into a sweltering heat.

"Eastern Bully... We have been looking forward to this match for a long time." The opposing captain, Xiao Huo, looked at Lin Mo, his eyes burning with Battle Intent.

There was a reason for his words.

Currently, in the East District of the Dragon Kingdom, the Eastern Bully Squad was the only team to have defeated the Vermilion Bird Academy Dung Beetle Team.

As long as they could win this match, their Zhiyan Team would certainly become famous throughout the Dragon Kingdom.

"What are you looking forward to? We don't even know you." Lin Mo rolled his eyes, his tone full of speechlessness.

"Exactly, a bunch of hoodlums; they don't look like serious people at all."

Lu Mengmeng also chimed in with a complaint. In her view, true "bad guys" should be like her and the boss: looking upright and proper on the surface, but sneaking around and doing shady things in the dark...

"Heh, it doesn't matter if you didn't know us before; today, you will remember our Zhiyan Team."

Xiao Huo didn't mind, raising his voice:

"I am the captain of the Zhiyan Team, Xiao Huo, SS Rank 'Blazing Spirit' Martial Soul, Soul Power Rank 29."

As he spoke, he introduced his four teammates one by one:

The two boys responsible for the front row were SS Rank "Magma Behemoth" and S Rank "Blazing Wind Wolf" Martial Souls, with an average Soul Power Rank of 27.

The two girls in the back row had the SS Rank Tool Martial Soul "Crimson Flame Bow" and the S Rank Plant Martial Soul "Crimson Flame Vine", with an average Soul Power Rank of 28.

Looking solely at the Martial Soul configuration, it was all fire-type Martial Souls—a proper long-range and close-combat combination, a high-burst team.

"Hmm, not bad." Lin Mo nodded and politely introduced his own team: "Lin Mo, C Rank Tool Martial Soul 'Furnace'."

"Niu Dachun, D Rank Tool Martial Soul 'Gilded Frying Pan'."

"Su Xiaoxiao, B Rank Beast Martial Soul 'Snow Fox'."

"Mu Liuli, A Rank Beast Martial Soul 'Seven-Colored Glazed Butterfly'."

"Lu Mengmeng, S Rank Plant Martial Soul 'Four-Clawed Devil Vine'."

This configuration not only seemed incongruous, but the Martial Soul grades even seemed to sequence like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...

Like they were collecting Martial Souls of every grade to summon a Dragon.

However, what truly shocked the Zhiyan Team was the Soul Power Rank of the Lin Mos Squad.

An average of Rank 34; among the freshman teams, this was absolutely a unique existence.

Xiao Huo swallowed hard and stared at Lin Mo: "Um... Lin Mo, right? Is your Martial Soul really C Rank?"

Lin Mo's Rank 39 Soul Power was truly hard for him to believe.

"It's absolutely true. If you don't believe me, you can go check." Lin Mo said indifferently.

"But your Soul Power... how did it improve so quickly?" Xiao Huo still couldn't believe it.

"Didn't a certain Great Master say? There are only trash Soul Masters, no trash Martial Souls." Lin Mo raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying a hint of mockery, "As long as you work hard, everything is possible..."

"Alright, enough talk, let's get started." He flexed his wrists,

"I'm still waiting to beat you all up to get some interest back for my second team."

Xiao Huo was provoked by his attitude, his face darkening: "You've got quite the nerve. In a moment, I'll let you know the power of fire-type Martial Souls!"

The referee saw that both sides were ready and shouted loudly: "Match start!"

Before the words had even faded, the girls in the back row of the Zhiyan Team had already moved.

The fire-red "Crimson Flame Vine" instantly spread, wrapping toward the five members of Lin Mo's team with a scorching aura.

"Mengmeng, take her down!"

Lin Mo tilted his body slightly and gestured with his chin at Lu Mengmeng.

Lu Mengmeng understood instantly, a mischievous smile curling at the corner of her mouth: "It's my turn!"

"Soul Skill: Devil Entanglement!"

Four black vines darted out like spirit snakes, wrapping in the opposite direction toward the Crimson Flame Vine.

The black vines and the Crimson Flame Vine twisted together in the air.

Purple and fire-red intertwined, emitting a hissing sound.

That was the Crimson Flame Vine burning the Devil Vine.

However, the Devil Vine clearly had high fire resistance; the Crimson Flame Vine only caused a little green smoke to rise from it, without causing any substantial damage.

Lu Mengmeng moved her fingertips slightly, and the Devil Vine suddenly burst out with dense barbs, growing in reverse along the veins of the Crimson Flame Vine, forcibly blocking the fire-type Soul Power back.

"Ah!"

The girl controlling the Crimson Flame Vine cried out in pain; the vines instantly withered and were tightly strangled by the Devil Vine, causing her Soul Power to begin to disorder.

Xiao Huo's pupils contracted: "How is that possible? Her Devil Vine can actually suppress the fire attribute?"

Niu Dachun had already rushed forward carrying the Gilded Frying Pan.

"Well come!"

The boys in the opposing front row activated their Martial Soul possession, their bodies igniting with raging flames, transforming into a several-meter-tall Magma Behemoth, roaring as they met Niu Dachun.

"Great Sumeru Pot!"

The Frying Pan, carrying a whistling sound of breaking air, smashed fiercely toward the Magma Behemoth.

The beast did not show weakness, swinging a giant fist burning with flames to meet it head-on.

"Boom!"

The giant Frying Pan collided with the beast's fist, emitting a deafening roar.

The Magma Behemoth was knocked staggering backward by this immense force, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the hard armor covering its body.

"How can this pot have so much strength?!" The Magma Behemoth was both shocked and angry.

Its armor defense was considered top-tier among the same Rank, yet it had been cracked by a Frying Pan.

"Meteor Fire Bomb!"

Seeing his teammate fall at a disadvantage, Xiao Huo immediately raised his hand and released several fireballs to provide support.

Niu Dachun reacted extremely quickly, hurriedly holding the Frying Pan horizontally in front of him.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The fireballs smashed onto the surface of the pan one after another, exploding; the air waves knocked Niu Dachun back repeatedly, and the stone slabs of the arena beneath his feet were shaken until they trembled.

"How dare you, you actually dare to bomb my brother!" Lin Mo raised an eyebrow, the alchemy furnace instantly hovering in front of him, the furnace mouth steadily aimed at Xiao Huo, "Then I'll bomb your brother too!"

"Soul Skill: Furnace Flame Cannon!"

"Boom!"

Lin Mo was pushed back one meter by the huge recoil, and the furnace mouth spat out a small-sized Pill Furnace trailing an orange-red fire tail, accurately hitting the Magma Behemoth that had just stabilized its posture.

"Boom!"

With a loud explosion, the Magma Behemoth was directly sent flying, a small half of its fire body condensed from Soul Power was blown off, and it fell heavily onto the arena.

"Damn it! You don't play by the rules, using a high-Rank Soul Skill right from the start!"

Xiao Huo was choked by anger but couldn't afford to argue. Seeing Niu Dachun about to advance again, he immediately turned to him and released a Profound Rank Advanced Soul Skill,

"Watch this: Meteor Fire Fall!"

"Boom!"

A fire meteor the size of a millstone trailed thick smoke as it crashed down. Fortunately, Lin Mo reacted even faster, instantly casting a layer of scorching Furnace Shield onto Niu Dachun.

Niu Dachun was only knocked flying and did not suffer heavy injuries.

"Damn it, you're still bombing my brother?"

Lin Mo was laughed in anger, the furnace mouth once again aimed at the Magma Behemoth that was just struggling to crawl up, "Then don't expect your brother to have an easy time either!"

"Take another shot from me!"

Meanwhile, the other teammates also found their respective opponents.

Mu Liuli's Seven-Colored Glazed Butterfly suddenly flapped its wings, carrying her into mid-air.

She nimbly dodged the incoming flame arrows, occasionally taking the opportunity to fling out a few wind blades in retaliation, her figure as light as willow catkins in the wind.

Su Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, was running all over the arena with the boy who had the fire wolf Martial Soul.

Ice and fire collided from time to time, bursting forth with blinding white steam, fighting so intensely that it was hard to tell who was winning; it truly lived up to the word "fiery."

Lu Mengmeng's Four-Clawed Devil Vine was even more arrogant, the black vines darting about like living creatures, not only entangling the opponent's Crimson Flame Vine girl.

It also cheekily split off a black vine branch.

It caught the female fire archer off guard, whipping her on the backside, forcing her into a flustered defense.

The girl was so angry she was howling.

On the arena, the sounds of firelight, ice mist, vines, and Frying Pans colliding were intertwined.

A melee that was orderly amidst chaos, fought in such a thoroughly satisfying manner.
