Chapter 610 - The Art Of Agility (2/2)
A thin smile formed on Xie XIe's lips. He had grown stronger.
There were countless soul screens littered around the area, and they were all showing replays of the previous battle. When the two returned to the waiting area, the other compet.i.tors looked at them differently than before. As the first set of fifteen matches for the preliminaries proceeded, they were the first ones to win.
Xie Xie's skill in close quarters combat was shocking. He hadn't used a single soul skill during the battle, yet he easily took down an a.s.sault-type soul master of the same ring level! Anyone with a decent eye could tell that the Ironback Bear soul master hadn't been able to bring out his full strength, but Xie Xie still dominated artful techniques on par with soul skills!
Tang Wulin high-fived Xie Xie and Yuanen Yehui as they returned, but he didn't make a big show of celebration. His expression was wooden, completely unreadable.
Tang Wulin glanced at the listings for the next set of matches. He and Gu Yue were up next. He nudged her with his elbow. “What do I do? I'm getting a bit nervous. Are you nervous?”
Gu Yue's cheek twitched. “Stop joking.”
“What? I really am nervous! What if we get a super powerful opponent?” As Tang Wulin spoke, he put on a facade of a nervous sheep.
Gu Yue pinched him on the b.u.t.t. “Why don't you act like a proper captain for us?”
Tang Wulin smirked. “Well, are you nervous then?”
“If you keep acting so smug, I'll team up with our opponents to beat you up later. Three on one,” Gu Yue said indifferently.
“Eh… You can't do that. The rules won't allow it! You can't treat me like that,” Tang Wulin said meekly.
“Captain, I can't watch this any longer!” Xu Xiaoyan said, the corner of her mouth twitching.
Yue Zhengyu chimed in from the side, “Yeah. Be serious.”
Tang Wulin smirked. “You know, chances are, we're going to be matched against each other later on.”
“Eh…” Yue ZHengyu feigned anger. “Are you threatening me? I'm going to tell Teacher Wu!”
“Go on then.”
Combined with their light banter and Xie Xie and Yuanen Yehui's amazing performance, countless people had now taken notice of their group.
The other compet.i.tors had seen them all arrive together, and since neither Xie Xie nor Yuanen Yehui seemed to be the leader of the group, they could only wonder how strong the other team members were. A few recognized Tang Wulin, and so word of his stunning victory over a one-word battle armor master quickly spread.
The matches pa.s.sed by quickly, even faster than the duels of the previous days. It usually only took a single all-out clash for the battles to be decided.
Soon, Tang Wulin and Gu Yue's match came.
The two of them walked through the long corridor leading to the compet.i.tion grounds together, and when they pa.s.sed through, they were enveloped in an electric air of excitement. Tang Wulin turned to Gu Yue and said, “The crowds here in Star Luo are really energetic. It's a lot more fun compared to how serious things are taken back home. Sometimes, you gotta let out all your pa.s.sion for battle!”
Gu Yue grunted her acknowledgment.
“When the battle starts, I'll charge them and you just back me up, okay? I've got this,” Tang Wulin said, smiling.
