Douluo: Martial Soul White Tiger, I am the White Emperor of Heaven

Chapter 440 When did you become so familiar with them?

In contrast to the playful expressions on Dai Chengfeng and his two companions' faces, the people on the other side couldn't help but groan in despair when they realized that their opponents were Dai Chengfeng, Zhu Zhuqing, and Hu Liena.

"No way... it's them again?!"

Yu Feng looked miserable, almost crouching down with his hands on his head. "Boss, I feel like the injuries from the last beating I got haven't fully healed yet!"

Oslo's complexion was no better than Yu Feng's; his lips twitched as he muttered, "Sigh... what I feared most has come to pass."

"I finally won for a few days in a row and raised my rank, but as soon as I advanced, I was facing them again!"

The Shi brothers, Shi Mo and Shi Mo, exchanged a glance. Although they were taciturn, their furrowed brows and the subconscious gesture of taking a half-step back fully revealed their inner resistance.

The memory of their arms still aching slightly when they thought about how Dai Chengfeng shattered their Xuan Turtle Shield with a single punch last time.

The two new team members were also incredibly nervous, their palms sweating.

As for Yu Tianheng, the captain of the Royal Fighting Team, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

He subconsciously rubbed his chest, where a strange, dull ache arose. The humiliation of being publicly defeated by Dai Chengfeng last time surged back into his heart like a tide.

He clenched his teeth, his nails almost digging into his palms.

"unlucky!"

At this moment, Yu Feng leaned closer to Yu Tianheng, lowered his voice, and suggested with a hint of wishful thinking:

"Boss, how about... how about you go and ask your uncle for help?"

"Have him talk to the manager of the Grand Arena and ask if we can switch to another group or stagger our time? It's a shame that our winning streak has been broken like this."

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng's lips twitched violently, and he growled irritably, "Shut up! Go beg for yourself!"

"The prestigious Heavenly Dou Royal Academy team is already intimidated before even starting the battle, and they even want to pull strings? How shameful!"

These words sounded grand and dignified, but deep down, didn't Yu Tianheng have the same thought flash through his mind?

His strong sense of pride prevented him from speaking, especially since the person he was speaking to was his "uncle," who made him feel complicated and pressured.

Just as Yu Tianheng hesitated, Dai Chengfeng seemed completely unwilling to give him the opportunity.

Dai Chengfeng stepped forward a few steps.

He looked at Yu Tianheng, Yu Feng, and Aosro with his signature smile, which seemed cheerful but actually infuriated Yu Tianheng, and greeted them warmly.

"Yu Tianheng, Yu Feng, Oslo... and the Shi brothers, we meet again, shall we start fighting?"

"what?"

Upon hearing Dai Chengfeng's words, Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena subconsciously glanced sideways, a hint of doubt flashing in their cool and charming eyes.

Hu Liena asked in a low voice, only the three of them could hear, "Dai Chengfeng, when did you become so familiar with them?"

"Give us back 'us'?"

Hu Liena remembered the last time they fought, the atmosphere was far from friendly, especially Yu Tianheng, whose eyes seemed to want to devour Dai Chengfeng alive.

Logically speaking, this time it should be about the same.

But how come... Dai Chengfeng is so familiar with them?
Although Zhu Zhuqing did not speak, the questioning look in her eyes was equally clear.

Dai Chengfeng looked at the two women and smiled mysteriously, "That's a long story, we'll talk about it in detail later."

"Now, they are our opponents."

On the other side, upon hearing Dai Chengfeng's "friendly" greeting, Yu Feng and Oslo immediately forced smiles that were more like grimaces, and hurriedly responded:
"Brother Dai... Good afternoon, what a coincidence, haha, what a coincidence..." Yu Feng chuckled awkwardly. "Hello, Brother Dai." Oslo and the Shi brothers also forced a greeting.

Only Yu Tianheng remained silent, his face tense, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Dai Chengfeng, his chest rising and falling slightly, his expression incredibly complex.

Dai Chengfeng seemed oblivious to Yu Tianheng's complex and conflicted gaze, his smile growing even brighter as he deliberately asked:
"Tianheng, what's wrong? Aren't you happy to see an old friend?"

Yu Tianheng mentally screamed, "Happy my ass! You're the last person I ever want to see in my life!"

But under the watchful eyes of everyone, he couldn't lose his composure, especially not in front of his teammates.

He forced a smile, revealing an extremely stiff expression that was worse than crying, and squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth: "How...why...could...it be? I'm...very happy."

Dai Chengfeng seemed to have received a satisfactory answer, laughed heartily, and stopped teasing him.

He turned his head, his expression becoming slightly more serious, and looked at Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing.

"Last time we faced them, although we won, it was mostly due to my personal ability to forcefully break through."

"But this time, it's different."

“Our team has been working together for so long, and the two of you have become more and more skilled at cooperating. Your teamwork is now completely different from what it used to be.”

At this point, Dai Chengfeng paused, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes: "Perfect, the Royal Fighting Team is quite strong and their lineup is still relatively complete, so let's use them as an excellent testing ground."

"The time has come to test the results of our intensive training!"

"Let me see how much energy you two can unleash without my forceful carry... uh, without my forceful breakthrough!"

Instantly, a dazzling light shone in the beautiful eyes of Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing, a light that reflected the anticipation and fighting spirit of the strong.

They nodded without hesitation, their auras subtly gathering.

"Don't worry, leave it to us!" *2
Dai Chengfeng looked at the two confident women, smiled, and then turned to Yu Tianheng and the others, saying loudly, "We can catch up after the competition."

"Everyone, are you ready?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Feng immediately replied with a grin, "Boss Dai, remember to go easy on me! We're practically friends now, aren't we?"

Oslo and the other two new team members quickly chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, Brother Dai, let's stop here, let's stop here!"

Dai Chengfeng smiled a warm and gentle smile, and said firmly:
"That's for sure."

"After all, we're friends now."

Upon hearing this, Yu Feng and the others breathed a sigh of relief, their tense expressions easing considerably, and they even began to think that perhaps they wouldn't be beaten too badly this time.

However, what they didn't see was that the moment Dai Chengfeng turned around to face Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena, the kind smile on his face instantly turned cunning and sinister. He spoke rapidly in a very low voice:

Don't listen to them.

"The tactics remain the same, but this time you will take the lead in the attack, and I will provide support."

"Remember, as long as you don't kill or maim them, aim for the most painful spots on your 'friends' so they'll learn a lesson!"

Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena simultaneously rolled their eyes at Dai Chengfeng, silently criticizing his cunning.

But at the same time, the corners of their mouths involuntarily curled into an excited and slightly mischievous smile.

Clearly, the idea of ​​being able to openly and legitimately "beat up a friend" resonated with them.

Just then, the referee in the center of the ring glanced at both sides, and after confirming that they were ready, he suddenly swung his raised right hand down!
"Both sides are ready! Battle of Spirits—begin!"
