Chapter 169 No Need for Scythe
Yu Xiaogang thought about it for a while, then nodded in approval, "Well, this is a good idea, let's arrange it this way."

"Then it'll be Jing Ling, Tai Long, Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Yu Tianheng, and finally Xiao San."

As soon as Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing immediately frowned. They were somewhat dissatisfied with Yu Xiaogang's arrangement.

"Master, Luo Ling is not the only one in Tiandou Royal Academy. Even if you really defeat Luo Ling with this arrangement, what about the people behind him?" Xiao Wu immediately retorted.

Yu Tianheng also reacted.

If he were to be honest, Yu Tianheng thought that the five people ahead of him could not pose much of a threat to Luo Ling.

Even if it consumed soul power, it probably wouldn't be much. During the preliminaries, Luo Ling had severely injured him and Tailong with just one blow.

In the end, the one who really consumed Luo Ling was himself.

Yu Xiaogang's arrangement seemed to be just to give Tang San a chance to defeat Luo Ling.

Luo Ling is the most popular player now and the only Soul King. If Tang San defeats Luo Ling, he will definitely gain a lot of reputation, even if it is a victory achieved in a round-robin battle.

Those civilians who have never seen the actual battle will only know that Tang San defeated Luo Ling.

To put it bluntly, Yu Xiaogang had no intention of winning this round of competition, he just wanted to help Tang San gain prestige.

Thinking of this, Yu Tianheng's expression also showed some dissatisfaction, dissatisfied with Yu Xiaogang's favoritism.

He is Yu Xiaogang's nephew, but he is not as good as an apprentice.

Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Yu Xiaogang's expression became extremely serious, and he said with righteousness: "I just gave you a better plan to win the game. Do you have a better way than this arrangement?"

Everyone looked at each other. Not everyone could see Yu Xiaogang's little thoughts. Oscar and Ma Hongjun did not understand Yu Xiaogang's deep meaning at all.

Only Ning Rongrong and Yu Tianheng understood the situation somewhat.

As for Xiao Wu, she looked at the speechless Tang San with disdain and said with disdain: "Coward!"

The word "coward" made Tang San's face turn extremely ugly. He was indeed afraid of confronting Luo Ling now.

Fearing of being ruthlessly defeated by Luo Ling, Xiao Wu now brought this matter to the surface.

If it was someone else, Tang San would probably have already talked about death in his mind, but the target was Xiao Wu.

She is the girl he has always had a crush on. Although Xiao Wu has never been kind to him, Tang San still has a special feeling for Xiao Wu.

Gritting his teeth, Tang San pretended to be nonchalant, but in his heart he was already filled with endless resentment, directed at Luo Ling.

He blamed everything on Luo Ling. Since arriving in Soto City, Luo Ling had been against him in every way.

Xiao Wu's attitude towards him before could only be described as cold, but now Xiao Wu only feels disgust towards him.

Luo Ling! Just wait, when I break through to Soul King, I will definitely trample you under my feet! I will let Xiao Wu know that I am stronger than you!

Tang San roared in his heart, looking forward to an illusory future.

The first round of the competition officially began when the two teams were planning their strategies.

Tiandou Royal Academy was the first to appear, and the first contestant was Luo Ling.

The opponent is Shrek Academy, so Luo Ling naturally won’t miss it.

In the viewing area, Ye Lingling jokingly said to Dugu Yan: "Yanyan, this match may be another exhibition match of your Xiao Ling."

"Of course, the people from Shrek can never be the opponent of my Xiao Ling!" Dugu Yan said along with Ye Lingling's words. After she finished speaking, she realized something was wrong, and then she saw Ye Lingling's teasing eyes.

Just now Ye Lingling was talking about your Xiao Ling.

Dugu Yan's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she stretched out her hand in shame and anger to hit Ye Lingling, "Lingling, how dare you tease me!"

"No, I didn't. You said it yourself!" Ye Lingling quickly dodged and answered with a smile.

While the two girls were playing, the Shrek team had already entered the arena.

Seeing that everyone was about to enter the competition venue, Yu Xiaogang said again: "Try not to fight Luo Ling head-on. Focus on defense and evasion to consume Luo Ling's soul power, and then look for opportunities to attack. Don't show mercy if you can hurt Luo Ling!"

Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing frowned again. They felt extremely disgusted by Yu Xiaogang's shamelessness.

At this time, Luo Ling had already walked into the competition area.

I wasn't surprised to see the Shrek team's arrangements.

The other party's idea was the same as he expected, to consume his soul power first, and then use Yu Tianheng or Tang San to harvest him.

The idea is good, but in the face of absolute power, everything is useless.

Not long after, Jing Ling also arrived at the competition area.

Both sides unleashed their martial spirits, and the moment the Shadow Scythe appeared in Luo Ling's hand, the entire parade ground seemed to become a lot darker.

Jing Ling's martial soul is a skeleton, a small minion, and Luo Ling has no interest in playing with him.

The moment the referee announced the start of the game, his figure disappeared from the spot, and when he appeared again, he was already next to Jing Ling.

The giant sickle swept across, and Jing Ling was blown away before he could react, and fell out of the competition area.

The referee's raised hand froze in place, and after a while he spoke awkwardly: "The first match was won by Tiandou Royal Academy. Please invite the next player from the Shrek team to play."

In the battle viewing area, seeing Luo Ling displaying his terrifying speed, Yu Xiaogang smiled:
"Yes, that's right. Let him attack. This terrifying speed must consume a lot of soul power. Luo Ling will use less soul power each time he uses it!"

"Xiao Wu, Zhu Qing, you are agility attack spirit masters, and you are also spirit masters. When you go on the field, just hold Luo Ling back, keep a distance from him, avoid him and consume his spirit power!"

Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, the two women looked at him with dissatisfaction again, but Yu Xiaogang didn't care at all.

The game continued, Tailong came on the stage, and just like Jing Ling, he was killed by Luo Ling with one sword.

The third one was Ma Hongjun's turn. As soon as the fat boy appeared on the stage, he said to Luo Ling in a flattering manner: "Brother Ling! I know I am no match for you, please go easy on me later!"

Ma Hongjun was quite in awe of Luo Ling, it started from the time when he was ambushed by Dai Mubai in Soto City.

Moreover, he saw the miserable condition of Tailong and Jingling. Although they were not seriously injured, the superficial injuries were still quite creepy to look at.

Luo Ling smiled, looked at Ma Hongjun with interest, and said, "Okay, then I won't use the sickle."

"No sickle?" Ma Hongjun was stunned.

The sickle is Luo Ling's martial soul. How can a soul master fight without using his martial soul?
Ma Hongjun didn't think that Luo Ling was humiliating him. He felt that Luo Ling must have other abilities, so he didn't dare to be careless.

"Then let me see your power, Brother Ling." Ma Hongjun answered seriously, and in an instant his martial spirit possessed him, and flames rose up.
