Douluo: Danheng just want to avoid trouble, Gu Yuena Pursues.-Chapter 149: Trump Card
Chapter 149 - 149: Trump Card
Dan Heng did not tell Gu Yuena about the inexplicable harassment he had encountered.
Compared to Gu Yuena's methods, he trusted his own way of handling things more.
Fortunately, that incident seemed to be just a fleeting occurrence, as it did not happen again in the following two days.
However, Dugu Yan came looking for him again, still curious about uncovering the secrets of the Blue Tyrant Team.
Unfortunately for her, she was caught red-handed by Gu Yuena.
Before Gu Yuena, Dugu Yan was as docile as a little kitten, not daring to be arrogant.
Upon learning about her curiosity, Gu Yuena simply allowed her to watch their sparring matches.
The Blue Tyrant Team was set to spar against both the Divine Wind Team and the Blazing Fire Team in a single morning.
Dan Heng also went to watch.
As did Yu Tianxin, who had just arrived.
When they learned about the Blue Tyrant Team's plan, they were all stunned.
Anyone unaware of the situation would think the Blue Tyrant Team was some formidable squad capable of effortlessly handling both the Divine Wind and Blazing Fire Teams!
Huo Wu was nearly driven mad with rage.
She gritted her teeth and fumed, "Who does the Blue Tyrant Team think they are? To challenge both of us in one morning? Who do they think they're looking down on? Us?! Damn it! We're being underestimated!"
The members of the Blazing Fire Team, including Huo Wushuang, also looked displeased.
The fact that the Blue Tyrant Team was challenging the Divine Wind Team first implied that they considered the Divine Wind Team stronger.
As if they didn't want them to see their tactics beforehand.
Nobody liked being looked down upon.
Most importantly, the Blue Tyrant Team wasn't even a top-tier team! Even if the Emperor Team had made such an arrangement, they wouldn't have agreed.
Huo Wushuang remained silent for a while before patting Huo Wu's shoulder and shaking his head. "Alright, don't get too worked up. Since they insist on doing this, let's give them a crushing defeat."
"That's not good enough! That would mean we're being overshadowed by the Divine Wind Team!" Huo Wu snapped.
Huo Wushuang opened his mouth but had to admit this was a problem.
"I'll go talk to Dean Liu!" Huo Wu turned to leave the lounge.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Liu Erlong entered.
"Dean Liu..." Huo Wu was momentarily stunned before she prepared to vent her frustration.
Liu Erlong spoke first. "Prepare yourselves. You'll be facing the real trump card of the Blue Tyrant Team."
"Hmm?" Huo Wu's anger instantly diminished by half.
"What do you mean by 'real trump card'? Are you saying they didn't use their full strength against the Thunderclap Team?"
The Blazing Fire Team members all looked over curiously.
Liu Erlong nodded with a smirk. "Of course. In fact, even the Divine Wind Team won't force them to reveal their true trump card. They might win, but it won't be against their full strength."
"However, against your Blazing Fire Team, the Blue Tyrant Team will go all out."
As she spoke, Liu Erlong couldn't help but feel a bit of pity for the Blazing Fire Team.
Facing Zhu Zhuqing, that little monster, might shatter their confidence completely!
Huo Wu's eyes brightened. She wasn't afraid of a strong Blue Tyrant Team—she was afraid they wouldn't be strong enough!
"If it's really like you say, Dean Liu, then we have no complaints. But do you really think their trump card will be stronger than us? You should know, you've seen our strength firsthand."
Huo Wu was referring to when they had easily defeated thirty elite students of the Blue Tyrant Academy's top class upon arrival.
Liu Erlong nodded slightly. "Yes, but you will still lose. You'll see when you watch the Blue Tyrant Team's match against the Divine Wind Team. Learn from it—it won't affect your battle later."
"Alright! We'll watch!"
In the Soul Battle Arena
The match between the Blue Tyrant Team and the Divine Wind Team began.
The Blue Tyrant Team's advantage lay in their spirit fusion techniques, which significantly boosted their strength.
But overall, the gap in combat skills and battle awareness between the two teams was still too great.
When Tai Long used his spirit fusion technique to strengthen himself and charged at the Divine Wind Team again—
The Divine Wind Team had already anticipated his power and scattered immediately, either launching long-range attacks to wear him down or targeting the other six members directly.
Tai Long roared in frustration but couldn't catch anyone. Realizing his teammates were about to be eliminated, he had no choice but to retreat.
The second activation of the spirit fusion technique saw two different members attack, but they could barely reach Spirit Ancestor-level power and were swiftly dealt with by the Divine Wind Team.
Tai Long, growing impatient, launched another charge, hoping to rescue his teammates.
Feng Xiaotian took action, using his masterful self-created technique, the "Gale Thirty-Six Slash," to eliminate Tai Long outright!
From there, the Blue Tyrant Team was completely overwhelmed.
In the end, the Blue Tyrant Team was wiped out, while the Divine Wind Team lost only one member.
Feng Xiaotian flicked his silver hair and called down to Huo Wu, "Well, Huo Wu, am I handsome or what?!"
Huo Wu scoffed, "Get down! You're embarrassing yourself!"
But internally, she was deeply concerned.
Feng Xiaotian's self-created spirit technique was incredibly strong.
Even she wasn't confident about countering him!
Among the Four Elemental Academies, could it be that the Divine Wind Academy was truly the strongest?
Huo Wu was uncertain and unwilling to accept it.
Liu Erlong announced a break, granting half an hour before the second match so the Blue Tyrant Team could recover.
Feng Xiaotian jumped down, wiping the sweat from his forehead, and said to Huo Wu:
"Huo Wu, can't you forgive me? You know how I feel about you, right?" Feng Xiaotian sighed.
Huo Wu sneered. His feelings? He fell for another girl the first time he laid eyes on her.
"What do you think about the Blue Tyrant Team?" Huo Wu asked.
Feng Xiaotian paused before nodding. "They're a decent opponent. Though it looked like we won easily, it wasn't as simple as it seemed. We had to go all out!"
"Our mobility is superior, which helped counter their spirit fusion techniques, but your team may not be able to replicate that."
"Also, we only won so cleanly because we knew about their spirit fusion technique in advance. If we hadn't, we might have been caught off guard."
Feng Xiaotian's analysis gave the Blue Tyrant Team high praise.
Huo Wu hummed in thought, frowning.
If the Blue Tyrant Team unveiled their trump card, would the Blazing Fire Team even win?
"But the most frustrated one here must be Yu Tianxin, right? Hahaha..." Feng Xiaotian laughed.
Yu Tianxin glanced at him but ignored him.
The half-hour break ended.
Both teams entered the arena.
Huo Wu kept staring at the Blue Tyrant Team, only to see a young girl step onto the stage, replacing one of the members.
"The Blue Tyrant Team's trump card... is you?" Huo Wu asked in confusion.
Zhu Zhuqing remained silent, walking straight to the front.
Tai Long shouted from behind, "That's right! Our boss Zhuqing will crush you all!"
Huo Wu sneered. No matter how she looked at it, Zhu Zhuqing was just a young girl, at least four or five years younger than them.
Unless... they were measuring age by bust size.
Huo Wu couldn't help but wonder—was Lan Ba Battle Team's trump card this little girl's large chest, meant to mesmerize the male opponents into defeat?
She glanced sideways and, sure enough, several of her male teammates were staring blankly, completely mesmerized.
"Have some dignity!" Huo Wu snapped.
The members of the Blazing Fire Battle Team immediately snapped back to their senses, fixing their eyes on Zhu Zhuqing.
...
Offstage, Feng Xiaotian was momentarily stunned when he saw that Lan Ba Battle Team had sent Zhu Zhuqing onto the field. Then, he found that he couldn't tear his eyes away.
"Where did Lan Ba Battle Team find this treasure?"
"Are they so afraid of losing that they're swapping in a substitute just to make the loss against the Blazing Fire Battle Team look better? If that's the case, I bet Huo Wu is going to be furious."
Feng Xiaotian chuckled.
Yu Tianxin rolled his eyes at him and said in a low voice, "I've seen them train. In this match, the Blazing Fire Battle Team might actually lose."
Feng Xiaotian laughed and shook his head.
"Yu Tianxin, are you hallucinating? I just fought Lan Ba Battle Team myself. They're strong, sure, but they're definitely not Blazing Fire Battle Team's match."
"Besides, there shouldn't be any attribute restraint between them, right?"
"Why would you—hmm? Are you saying that little... that big girl is a problem?"
Feng Xiaotian suddenly realized something and asked in surprise.
Yu Tianxin glanced at him indifferently and said nothing.
"What kind of look is that?"
Feng Xiaotian wanted to keep pressing, but at that moment, the soul battle began!
...
"Boom! Boom! Boom...!!!"
Tai Long charged forward, using his martial soul fusion technique.
The remaining five Lan Ba Battle Team members all activated their soul skills—not for attack, but for defense and support.
Huo Wu watched Tai Long rush forward and sneered.
Against the Godwind Battle Team, they had chosen to evade Tai Long's onslaught.
But she was different. Though she was a woman, her fire burned even hotter—she was practically a replica of Liu Erlong.
"Scatter! Focus fire!"
Huo Wu didn't use her trump card. With a sharp command, the seven members of the Blazing Fire Battle Team spread out, centering themselves around her in a boomerang-like formation.
Then, more than twenty soul rings flashed and lit up as they unleashed a barrage of fiery attacks toward Tai Long.
Blazing fireballs, ferocious fire serpents, rapidly expanding fire rings, and fiery arrows—all of them rained down on Tai Long.
"You six think you can take us on... six?"
Huo Wu frowned. There were only six members of the Lan Ba Battle Team present—where did that little girl go?
"Thud...!"
Amidst the explosions, there was a faint, dull sound of something hitting the ground.
Huo Wu heard it. She turned her head to look—another thud followed. A second person had collapsed!
She had turned just in time, yet she hadn't even seen a shadow before two of her teammates had already fallen.
"Brother! Did you see anything?" Huo Wu asked urgently.
The only person left on her side was Huo Wushuang, but he didn't respond. Instead, he was looking toward the other side.
"Thud...!"
A chill ran down Huo Wu's spine.
This speed was terrifying!
She hurriedly turned her head, preparing to unleash a soul skill. Just as she turned, the second person on the other side collapsed!
She barely caught a glimpse of a dark blur—a pair of feline-like eyes!
And then, the figure melted back into the darkness.
The flickering flames around them seemed to have become her domain.
Huo Wu narrowed her eyes and finally spotted Zhu Zhuqing lurking in the shadows. She raised her hand, igniting an explosion of flames.
Amidst the firelight, a sharp glint sliced through, cutting straight through the flames and heading for her.
Huo Wu quickly dodged and activated her third soul skill—Repelling Fire Ring. A ring of fire expanded outward, aiming to push Zhu Zhuqing away.
But Zhu Zhuqing had already grabbed the last remaining teammate and used him as a pivot to flip herself inside the ring!

Huo Wu couldn't push her back with the fire ring—otherwise, she'd seriously injure her own teammate.
At that moment, Tai Long, still burning from the flames, charged forward and pounced on Huo Wushuang.
"Burning the hell out of me!!!"
Tai Long roared as he grabbed Huo Wushuang and started pummeling him.
With the last teammate incapacitated by the Repelling Fire Ring, only the siblings remained.
"Damn it! What's with this agility-type soul master?!"
Huo Wu shouted in frustration. She was no weakling in close combat—her arms ignited with flames as she launched a fiery strike and kicked toward Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing finally revealed herself, her yellow, yellow, and purple soul rings shining brightly as she charged at Huo Wu with even greater speed!
