Douluo: The Son of Martial Soul, Deceiving All the Women

Chapter 206 Duel
Feng Xiaotian panicked, his face flushed red, and he stammered:
"You can't forfeit! No... forfeiting is so pointless. You have to play more games to gain experience."

"Our Kamikaze Squadron excels in aerial combat. You've probably never encountered this kind of fighting style before. Fight a match with us, and you'll gain experience in the future, right?"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded in agreement.

"You're right, we've never encountered this before, and we don't know how to deal with this style of play, so we're forfeiting."

Feng Xiaotian's eyelids twitched violently. What was going on? Was he really so unyielding that he had to give up?
He racked his brains trying to find a way to prevent the Shrek team from forfeiting, his head practically spinning with exhaustion.

"How about this, neither of our team members will go on stage, and the two of us will go up and have a one-on-one duel. Whoever wins will be the victor. What do you think?"

"I've also seen your stats. Your soul power level is 46, which is two levels higher than mine. If we fight one-on-one, you'll have the advantage!"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded again in agreement.

"You're right, but I'm forfeiting. You can fly, I can't hit you."

Feng Xiaotian gasped for breath, his expression turning somewhat ferocious.

"Then I won't fly, I'll fight you on the ground, what do you say? I have relatively less experience in land combat, you really have a huge advantage!"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded again, her lips moving slightly as if about to speak, when she heard Feng Xiaotian let out a wail, saying in a somewhat desperate tone:
"Ah! Don't forfeit, let's fight, please!"

"Pfft!"

Baiyu couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing, thinking to himself that he was indeed a two-headed simp, doing his best to lick her boots.

Zhu Zhuqing's lips also curled slightly, as if she wanted to laugh, but she remained reserved and did not make a sound.

"Alright, since you insist on fighting, then let's have a match. But I have to tell you, although your strength is not bad, you can't beat me if you give up your air superiority."

Zhu Zhuqing softened and told him the truth: rather than being beaten up by her tomorrow, it would be better to let the Shrek team forfeit.

Even so, Feng Xiaotian's victory was somewhat hollow, but he still won in the end, didn't he?

Feng Xiaotian knew he had given up his greatest advantage, but he was confident in himself. He said that he had relatively little experience in land warfare, but that was just him being modest.

Moreover, as a power-attack type Soul Master, he's not slow either. How could he possibly lose to an agility-attack type Soul Master? Do they really think the Soul Master ecosystem is just for show?

"It's alright, as long as you agree, my martial spirit isn't just powerful in the air, it's just as good on land."

"In that case, I'll be going now. See you in the arena tomorrow."

Feng Xiaotian looked relieved, waved to Zhu Zhuqing to indicate that she shouldn't underestimate him, and then turned and left.

Seeing Feng Xiaotian's confident demeanor, the members of the Shrek team couldn't help but shake their heads, their eyes filled with pity.

"This Feng Xiaotian is so confident. Does he think he can win? But it doesn't matter. Giving us a free victory is not bad either."

"Zhuqing, you have to give him a good beating tomorrow. Let him shut up like that! He can fly, yet he dares to fight on land. Who does he think he is?"

After Feng Xiaotian left, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu huddled around Zhu Zhuqing, chattering away.

The Shrek Academy members who overheard their conversation all smiled. It was a free victory, so why not take it? After all, who would want to forfeit when they could win?

It wasn't that they looked down on Feng Xiaotian; they were aware of his strength, and he was definitely among the top three in the Tiandou region. But the fact that he had given up his aerial advantage to fight Zhu Zhu alone meant that, unfortunately, they were certain Feng Xiaotian would lose.

After all, through the two years of getting to know each other, they all know that Zhu Zhuqing's strongest point is one-on-one combat.

In the previous team battle, Zhu Zhuqing's strength was limited by at least one-third. In Bai Yu's words, an assassin with teammates cannot be considered an assassin.

Feng Xiaotian probably thought that Zhu Zhuqing's performance in the team battle represented her full strength, which is why he dared to gamble in this way.

……

The next day, at the Heaven Dou Arena, the Shrek Academy team and the Divine Wind team exchanged greetings on the arena stage.

Immediately after the referee announced the start, both teams tacitly stepped off the stage, leaving only Feng Xiaotian and Zhu Zhuqing on the field.

"What's going on? Is this going to be a one-on-one fight? This is interesting!"

"Hey, it seems these two teams have agreed not to play team battles. But with several key players injured, Kamikaze should have the advantage. Why would they agree to this kind of play?"

"Who cares? I've been watching too many team battles lately, so a solo match would be nice to change things up."

The actions of the two teams caused an uproar in the audience. Most people thought that the Kamikaze team had lost their minds. Why else would they choose to fight one-on-one when they had a good lead?

On the arena, Zhu Zhuqing watched as Feng Xiaotian across from her was still feigning chivalry, waiting for her to make the first move, and couldn't help but speak up:
"Feng Xiaotian, aren't you going to attack? To be honest, you've given up your air superiority, so you can't beat me now. If you don't get the first move, you'll lose badly."

Feng Xiaotian twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking that Zhu Zhuqing was far too confident. She was only two levels higher than him in soul power, not two different ranks. Why was she so arrogant?

"Heh, go ahead and attack without worry. I'm not like those people you've encountered before; I'm not that weak!"

Zhu Zhuqing sighed. This kid is really stubborn. Since that's the case, then don't blame her for being ruthless.

Zhu Zhuqing's gaze sharpened, her fourth soul ring flashed, and another Zhu Zhuqing appeared on the arena. The two figures moved in sync, their waists and legs slightly bent, and they disappeared from the spot.

When the two Zhu Zhuqings reappeared, they were already on either side of Feng Xiaotian, their sharp claws reaching straight for his two kidneys.

Feng Xiaotian's pupils contracted, and his body's instinct made him curl up his two wings to wrap himself up.

"Squeak!"

With a piercing screech, five deep claw marks appeared on each of Feng Xiaotian's two wings.

To be honest, he's still a bit dazed and doesn't know what happened.

Although agility-type Soul Masters are fast, they can't be this fast, right?

He himself is quite fast, not much slower than a typical agility-type Soul Master, so why can't he react in time?
He had watched Shrek Team's previous matches, so Zhu Zhuqing couldn't have remembered them that quickly. Could it be that he had misremembered?

Of course, it wasn't that he misremembered. In previous competitions, Zhu Zhuqing's speed was indeed not this fast, but it wasn't that she didn't want to be fast, but that she couldn't.

Because she needs to coordinate with her teammates' offensive rhythm, if she moves too fast, she will become separated from her teammates. Although that may give her the initiative, if she cannot achieve a decisive victory, she will be surrounded.
