Seeing his appearance, Dugu Yan's anger subsided, replaced by a complex feeling.
"The opponent is very strong, and we could all see that they held back at the last moment. You deserve to lose."
"Not wronged?" Yu Tianheng suddenly turned his head.
"I am the number one genius of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan! How could I possibly lose?!"
Seeing this, the Graphite and Millstone brothers quickly tried to dissuade him.
"Captain, that guy is indeed very strong. We should think this through more carefully. Besides, we'll be staying here for another half a month. As long as he's still around, you'll still have a chance to get revenge."
Ye Lingling nodded: "His strength far surpasses that of others of the same level, and the quality of his martial soul should be comparable to that of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. It must be that his martial soul has undergone a very good positive mutation."
But at this moment, Yu Tianheng was blinded by anger and wouldn't listen to anyone's advice.
The image of Fu Qin crushing him on the ring kept replaying in his mind.
Just as the atmosphere in the lounge was tense, a steady footstep sounded.
The door was pushed open, and a young man dressed in a red outfit walked in.
He was tall and straight, with a resolute face, and his body radiated a powerful aura of soul energy.
This person is Qin Ming, the leader of the Royal Fighting Team.
He possesses the Fiery Wolf Martial Soul and was once a student of Shrek Academy, as well as Flander's prized student.
"Team Leader Qin!" The members of the Royal Fighting Team stood up and bowed, their voices filled with awe.
Qin Ming's gaze swept over the crowd, finally landing on Yu Tianheng, his smile unchanged.
"I've heard that you were defeated by a Soul Master of the same level?"
Yu Tianheng blushed, and although he was very reluctant to admit it, he still nodded.
"Yes, the opponent's soul skills and martial soul are too unpredictable; I was caught off guard and..."
A look of disbelief flashed across Qin Ming's eyes.
He knew Yu Tianheng too well. As the number one genius of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, a level 39 Soul Master, with a top-grade martial soul and the best soul ring ratio, he was almost unbeatable among his peers.
Even when facing a Soul Master with a strong offensive style, Yu Tianheng could hold his own. How could he lose to a Soul Venerable of the same level?
"Tell me in detail what exactly happened at that time?"
Qin Ming walked to the side and sat down, asking in a calm tone.
Dugu Yan quickly stepped forward and recounted the entire course of the arena match, from Fu Qin controlling eight flying swords to restrain Fu Qin from a distance, to Fu Qin merging with himself to transform into the Demon Spider Armor.
Then, in a close-quarters confrontation with Long Huayu Tianheng, not a single detail was overlooked.
As Dugu Yan continued her narration, Qin Ming's expression grew increasingly serious, and his astonishment intensified.
"Such a monstrous talent exists?"
Qin Ming muttered to himself, a burning curiosity flashing in his eyes.
He was considered exceptionally talented at Shrek Academy, but compared to this mysterious young man, he was utterly insignificant.
A young man of similar age to Yu Tianheng possesses such terrifying strength and bizarre methods; there must be an extraordinary background behind him.
"Who does this Fu Qin belong to?" Qin Ming asked.
Dugu Yan shook her head, her tone filled with resentment: "I asked him, but he didn't bother to answer at all, and his attitude was extremely arrogant."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming was not angry at all; instead, a smile appeared on his lips.
"With strength comes the right to be proud. If we can bring such a prodigy to our side, it will greatly benefit our future development."
A hint of enticement flashed in his eyes.
As Flander's student, Qin Ming deeply understood the importance of talent. The other party's potential was simply unfathomable. Even if he couldn't win him over, as long as he could befriend him, it would be a huge help to both the Royal Fighting Team and his future development.
"Team Leader Qin, what do you mean...?" A hint of doubt flashed in Dugu Yan's eyes.
They had all witnessed Qin Ming's talent and strength, and they had great faith in this team leader.
"I'd like to meet this young man," Qin Ming said, standing up with a determined look in his eyes.
"If he is really as monstrous as you say, I will step in and win him over."
He paused, looked at Yu Tianheng, and spoke in a serious tone.
"Tianheng, don't be too fixated on temporary wins and losses."
"A true strong person not only needs formidable strength, but also a resilient mind. This young man may become a whetstone on your path to growth, making you even stronger."
Yu Tianheng raised his head and looked at Qin Ming. The obsession in his eyes had not faded, but there was a hint of contemplation in them.
He knew Qin Ming was right, but the resentment in his heart was still hard to quell.
"I understand, team leader," Yu Tianheng said in a low voice.
Qin Ming nodded, then looked at Yu Feng standing at the back of the group.
"Yu Feng, have someone check Fu Qin's residence. If possible, I would like to meet this genius."
"Don't worry, leader, we guarantee we'll complete the mission!" Yu Feng replied quickly.
Ye Lingling watched Qin Ming's retreating figure, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes. She also wanted to see that mysterious young man again.
At this moment, Qin Ming had already begun to make plans in his mind.
Fu Qin's strength greatly impressed him. If he could recruit Fu Qin into the Royal Fighting Team, or at least establish a good relationship with him, their chances of winning in the future All-Continent Elite Tournament would undoubtedly increase significantly.
Even if we can't win them over, it's not a bad thing to make friends with such a prodigy.
...
When Fu Qin returned to his room, it was already late at night.
He took the Demon Spider Flying Sword out of his storage soul tool and placed it on the bedside table.
Eight flying swords hovered silently, gleaming with a faint purplish-black luster, the residual lightning power on them being slowly devoured by alchemical energy.
Upon seeing this, Fu Qin's eyes showed a look of astonishment.
"I didn't expect that the Eight Spider Lances, which were refined into magical artifacts, could actually absorb lightning, and even improved in quality. In that case, Xiao Wu can help me find some soul beasts with lightning attributes to use as a consecration for the sword."
After a quick wash, he sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed and circulated his soul power to recover from his depletion.
Although I won decisively in today's battle against Yu Tianheng, I also had to use my trump card, the Demon Spider Armor, which depleted more than half of my soul power.
With the blessing of divine fortune, the speed of soul power circulation is several times faster than that of ordinary people. Strands of soul power flow into the body, repairing the minor damage to the meridians.
Meanwhile, in the next room, a completely different and lively scene was unfolding.
Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong squeezed together on either side of Zhu Zhuqing, the three of them covered by a thick brocade quilt, the bedding filled with a faint, sweet fragrance of young girls.
The reason they slept together like this was because they were afraid Dai Mubai would take advantage of Zhu Zhuqing while she was drunk.
In reality, the two "reborn" women wanted to use the alcohol as an excuse to reconnect with Zhu Zhuqing, who had not yet regained her past memories.
"Little Zhuqing, when you were drunk today, you clung tightly to Brother Fuqin's sleeve!"
