Douluo V: I intercepted Xiao Wu at the start, and I tricked Tang San into becoming crippled.

Xiao Chen stated his conclusion directly.

Zhu Zhuqing's current overall strength should be able to rival the vast majority of those in the Third Ring.

Even a genius like Yu Tianheng should be able to handle it, but the extent to which he can actually do it still needs to be tested in actual combat.

Ok.

The team battle is about to begin, so I can take another look then.

"Thank you."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing stood there for a long time, and could only utter these two words in the end.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu patted Zhu Zhuqing on the shoulder and said in a carefree manner.

"Zhu Qing, why are you being so polite with us? We're all family, right, Brother Xiao Chen?"

"Of course, let's go, it's time for our team battle now."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen smiled slightly and reached out to affectionately rub Xiao Wu's head.

At the same time, his other hand rested lightly on Zhu Zhuqing's shoulder, neither too intimate nor too distant.

This scene filled Zhu Zhuqing with admiration.

"Ding! Zhu Zhuqing's favorability towards the host has increased, and the host's physical attributes have improved by 28%..."

Chapter 72: Team Tournament Begins, Unexpected Moves

"You three finally came out! If you hadn't come out soon, the referee would have declared us the loser!"

"I've staked everything I have on this. If I lose, I..."

Seeing that Xiao Chen and the other two had finally arrived at the preparation area, Flander, who had been too afraid to disturb Xiao Chen, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu's good time, was overjoyed.

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, his forehead was covered in sweat, and he kept muttering to himself.

At the same time, he handed a piece of paper to Xiao Chen and the other two.

"I bought this with the gold soul coins I deducted from my personal account. You should all take a look at the detailed information about our opponent this time."

"The odds are currently highest for you to lose, so what you need to do next is..."

"His!"

Before Flander could finish speaking, the intelligence report he handed out was instantly shattered by invisible sword energy, turning into countless fragments that drifted to the ground in the wind.

This scene completely stunned Flanders.

However, Xiao Chen ignored him and took the lead towards the Soul Battle Arena.

A silhouette recedes into the distance against a backdrop of fluttering confetti, accompanied by bland, emotionless words.

"In the face of absolute power, any intelligence will seem utterly laughable."

"I have already seen the result."

Seeing this, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing ignored Flander and followed him directly.

After the three of them went on stage, Flander finally came to his senses, staring blankly at the scraps of paper on the ground, his face filled with heartache.

"If you were so brave, you should have said so sooner! This is all money! I haven't even had time to back it up, my money, my money..."

"Ladies and gentlemen, the one-on-one and two-on-two battles for tonight have ended. Next up is the much-anticipated team battle."

"Now, welcome our Divine Weapon Team, and—the Nameless Team!"

As Xiao Chen and his two companions stepped onto the Soul Battle Arena, the referee began to give an introduction.

To the right of the Soul Arena were seven men, each wielding a different weapon and possessing three spirit rings around their bodies.

The Divine Weapon Team consists entirely of three-ring members. Their first spirit ring is a white ten-year spirit ring, while their second and third spirit rings are both hundred-year spirit rings.

All of them possess weapon-type martial souls, and their soul power level is all 31.

As for the nameless battle on the left, it was naturally Xiao Chen and his two companions.

Nameless, therefore invincible!

"By the way, due to the requirements of the Nameless Team, they only have three people participating this time: one three-ring Soul Master and two two-ring Great Soul Masters."

"To be honest, with three against seven, and two of the three being second-ring Soul Masters, I really can't imagine what suspense there is in this match. I hope Wuming can fight for a little longer and bring us a better spectacle."

"Without further ado, I declare the competition open!"

"boom!"

As soon as the referee's voice fell, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing simultaneously released their martial spirits and accelerated backward.

This is Xiao Chen's intention.

Thanks to his nurturing over the years, and with the help of the soul tool, Xiao Wu's true strength is now enough to defeat any ordinary three-ring Soul Master.

Zhu Zhuqing, due to her mutated martial soul, was also able to hold off an ordinary three-ring Soul Master.

However, if the two women were to face several three-ring Soul Masters, they might have a chance of winning, but it wouldn't be a big one.

Therefore, Xiao Chen planned to severely injure all the people in front of him before handing them over to the two women for practice.

"Haha, a few of you, tone it down a bit, don't scare the little girl!"

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu retreat to the edge of the Soul Battle Arena, the strongest man in the Divine Weapon Team suddenly raised his head and laughed loudly.

Immediately afterwards, he raised the iron hammer in his hand and smashed it towards Xiao Chen.

"Don't be afraid, little sister. After I take this guy down, I'll have a good chat with you all! I'll make sure you feel really comfortable, especially you little bunny-eared girl. I love seeing girls with your figure get stretched until their eyes roll back, hahaha!"

"..."

Upon hearing Hammer Man's words, both Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing showed displeasure.

However, before the two women could speak, Xiao Chen had already made his move.

Raise your left hand in full view of everyone!

"Isn't that kid being far too arrogant?"

Seeing Xiao Chen's actions, the man holding the short sword in the battle frowned slightly.

"Although his soul power is as high as level 39, it's a bit too much to expect him to withstand the hammer man's blow without relying on his martial soul..."

"What the hell, what's going on!"

The man with the sword had only spoken halfway when his expression suddenly changed drastically.

His other companions were also in the same boat, looking as if they had seen a ghost.

In their sight, Xiao Chen caught the hammer man's attack with just his left hand and stood still without moving.

The hammer-wielding man who unleashed his martial spirit with a single hand!

Is this guy still human?

Whose three-ring Soul Master is this? Holy crap, how can he be so powerful!

Compared to the shocked expressions on everyone's faces during the battle with the divine weapons, Xiao Chen remained calm, his cold gaze sweeping over each person.

Like a faint voice of judgment, it reached everyone's ears at that moment.

"From now on, you are all surrounded by me alone."

"You are too arrogant!"

Upon hearing this, the man with the iron hammer became enraged, and the three spirit rings around his body began to tremble.

In an instant, the weight of the hammer increased, its size grew, and its surface exuded a heavy aura.

Two amplification soul skills, and one attack power soul skill!

"Hahaha, with the boost from the first two soul skills, plus my third soul skill, Heavy Strike, kid, I'll take your hand without any hesitation!"

However, no matter how hard the hammer-wielding man tried, Xiao Chen remained motionless in place.

Seeing this, Hammer Man was completely stunned and could barely speak.

"What, what exactly are you?"

"Arrogance requires capital, and I happen to have it!"

"Boom! Crack!"

As Xiao Chen uttered the last three words, his left hand slammed down forcefully.

In an instant, the hammer-wielding man turned into a blurry black shadow and was slammed to the ground like a weapon, producing a dull thud.

And the sound of bones breaking.

Hammer Man is completely incapacitated!

"You, you have no sportsmanship, you launched a sneak attack!"

Being instantly killed in front of everyone made Hammer Man's face turn extremely ugly.

He curled up on the ground, enduring the excruciating pain, and roared angrily at Xiao Chen.

"It's really ugly."
