Chapter 209: Feng Xiaotian's Confidence, Shui Yue'er's Words
Yu Yuanzhen's warning had nearly made a spectacle of Salas in front of everyone. Salas's face turned ugly, and he could not help but roar in anger.
Yu Yuanzhen did not react at all. He simply ignored him.
Salas was only a Spirit Douluo. If not for his status as a Platinum Bishop, he would not even be qualified to sit here. If Salas had not shown killing intent toward Yu Tianlin, Yu Yuanzhen would not have bothered looking at him in the first place.
Seeing Yu Yuanzhen refuse to acknowledge him, Salas calmed down slightly and stopped humiliating himself. He snorted coldly and left without even saying goodbye to Emperor Xueye.
A trace of anger flashed through Emperor Xueye's eyes. "This Salas is becoming more and more arrogant. He even dared to call Clan Master Yu by his full name."
"Just a clown." Yu Yuanzhen smiled faintly at Emperor Xueye's pointed words. "I don't care, and Your Majesty need not take it to heart."
On the other side, Ning Fengzhi felt Emperor Xueye's provocation was far too obvious, so he smoothly changed the subject.
"Clan Master Yu, I had heard your grandson's name before, that he was exceptionally talented, but I didn't expect him to be this powerful. Level 49 at the age of 14, with 2 thousand year Spirit Rings and 2 ten thousand year Spirit Rings. Compared to him, my children are all mediocre."
Ning Fengzhi seemed to have some special method, because he could see through Yu Tianlin's cultivation level directly.
"It's nothing." Yu Yuanzhen replied calmly. "Just good luck. When Tianlin was 6, he went to obtain his 1st Spirit Ring and encountered a 10,000 year Spirit Beast."
And so, Yu Yuanzhen began recounting the prepared story to the people around him. It was about how that 10,000 year Spirit Beast knew it was doomed, so it sacrificed itself to 6 year old Yu Tianlin in an attempt to burst him apart, and how Yu Yuanzhen had sealed the power of the Spirit Ring afterward.
This story had been prepared for 8 years. Every detail had been polished carefully, leaving no obvious loopholes, making it sound completely reasonable.
Once Yu Tianlin's Spirit Ring configuration was fully exposed to the public, it would inevitably attract immense attention. This story could erase many suspicions at the source.
While Yu Yuanzhen calmly "educated" Ning Fengzhi, Emperor Xueye, and Sword Douluo Chen Xin on the VIP platform, battles continued across the 5 arenas below. Yet after Yu Tianlin's shocking performance earlier, the other matches looked far less intense, almost dull by comparison.
At the same time, the atmosphere in Blazing Fire Academy's rest area was extremely heavy.
7 against 1, and they had still been crushed. It dealt a savage blow to their morale.
The audience was shouting that Yu Tianlin was invincible, while they themselves had become nothing more than background props used to prove his strength. That kind of humiliation naturally made the mood even darker.
Losing was one thing. Battles were contests of strength, and defeat was defeat. What truly made Blazing Fire Academy feel suffocated was that they saw no hope at all. Even if they tried countless times, the result would not change. The 7 of them simply could not defeat Yu Tianlin.
Soon, a voice broke the oppressive silence.
"Huowu, are you alright? Are you hurt?"
The newcomer wore a light blue team uniform embroidered with silver thread. It was none other than Feng Xiaotian of Divine Wind Academy.
"Feng Xiaotian, what are you doing here?" Huo Wu was in a terrible mood and did not want to speak to him, so Huo Wushuang answered instead. "Did you come to humiliate Blazing Fire Academy too?"
"Huo Wushuang, how could I do that?" Feng Xiaotian hurriedly waved his hands. "Thunder Academy went too far this time, and that Yu Tianlin, does he really think he's invincible? When the time comes, our Divine Wind Academy will help you get your revenge."
Huo Wushuang snorted coldly. "And what makes you think Divine Wind Academy can beat Yu Tianlin?"
"Heh." Feng Xiaotian laughed, forcing the atmosphere to loosen a little. "No matter how strong Yu Tianlin is, he can't fly. When the time comes, we'll take the air advantage, do a few diving runs, and he won't be able to withstand it."
"Is that it?" Huo Wu sneered when she heard that. "Feng Xiaotian, are you stupid? Didn't you watch the match just now? Yu Tianlin's 1st Spirit Skill is a wide range long range attack. Even if you can fly, he can still hit you."
"Sister Huowu, you're overlooking something very important." Seeing Huo Wu finally speak to him, Feng Xiaotian became even more excited. "Yu Tianlin's 1st Spirit Skill is indeed terrifying. Even if my teammates and I work together, we might not be able to block it."
"But in the end, he's still just a Spirit Ancestor. How much Spirit Power can he have? How many times can he really use a ten thousand year Spirit Skill?"
"In my opinion, you lost today because you were just a little short. Yu Tianlin probably didn't have much Spirit Power left. If 1 or 2 of you could have stayed combat capable, you might have had a chance to take him down."
Feng Xiaotian's words noticeably eased the atmosphere in the rest area. However, Huo Wu remained unmoved.
"Without personally fighting Yu Tianlin, you don't understand how terrifying he is. I could feel it, he was holding back. He still hasn't shown his full strength."
"I still don't think you can win," she added coolly, "but since you're so confident, then good luck. We'll be watching your match."
"Don't worry. You'll definitely win." Huo Wu finally spoke a few encouraging words, unwilling to keep crushing Feng Xiaotian's enthusiasm. Feng Xiaotian's spirits immediately rose. After making a promise to Huo Wu, he left with renewed confidence.
While Feng Xiaotian had arrived at Blazing Fire Academy's rest area, someone also came to Thunder Academy's side.
"Yu Tianlin, you're amazing!" The person who showed up was Shui Bing'er's younger sister, Shui Yue'er. She looked at Yu Tianlin with open admiration. "You defeated Blazing Fire Academy so easily. Our Skywater Academy is definitely no match for you either. When you run into us, you have to go easy on us."
Hm? What did she mean by that?
Yu Tianlin was already surprised that Shui Yue'er had come looking for him, but her words made him feel even more uneasy.
What do you mean, Skywater Academy is definitely no match for me?
Others might not know, but how could he not?
Skywater Academy had kept it hidden extremely well. There was almost no information leaking to the outside. Yet Yu Tianlin still knew that Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu possessed a Spirit Fusion Skill.
If 2 four ring Spirit Ancestors used their Spirit Fusion Skill together, they could unleash combat power at the Spirit Emperor level. If Yu Tianlin got careless, he could very well suffer a loss.
So Shui Yue'er's reason for approaching him was to lull him into complacency with these words.
This was definitely not Shui Bing'er's idea. Whether Shui Yue'er came up with it herself, or someone ordered her to do it, was still unclear. The only thing certain was that these "soft words" were not soft at all.
