Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Who Says Teleportation Can Only Go Side to Side? Up and Down Works Too!

The battle was about to erupt.

Yufeng’s arms transformed into brownish-yellow wings as he soared into the sky. Oslo’s pupils narrowed into vertical slits, his whole body exuding a dangerous tension, ready to strike at any moment.

Oslo attacked without hesitation, and Yufeng’s wings gave a powerful flap as his third soul ring lit up brilliantly.

A wave of green soul power surged out like a cloud, descending directly onto Zhu Zhuqing’s position.

The green energy morphed midair into a massive bird-shaped construct that dived straight at Zhu Zhuqing on the ground.

Zhu Zhuqing could clearly sense the immense power of Yufeng’s soul skill—the forceful wind currents whipped her hair wildly. At the same time, Oslo’s figure blurred like an illusion as he sealed off all paths of escape.

There was no doubt the two members of the Heaven Dou Imperial Battle Team were well-coordinated. Without even needing verbal communication, they had seamlessly launched a pincer attack on Zhu Zhuqing.

She was left with two options: either take the full force of Yufeng’s soul skill or run straight into Oslo’s ambush.

The rest of the Heaven Dou team exchanged smiles. Individually, they didn’t believe either Oslo or Yufeng could beat Zhu Zhuqing, who was already at Rank 39.

But two against one? That changed everything.

Agility-type soul masters were known for their high offense but low defense. The two of them working together was bound to give Zhu Zhuqing a hard time.

Shen An, however, showed no signs of worry. In his eyes, this scene wasn’t remotely troubling for Zhu Zhuqing.

And sure enough, Zhu Zhuqing remained motionless as the giant green bird bore down on her.

Yufeng and Oslo both smiled—this was a thousand-year soul ring attack. If it hit, Zhu Zhuqing was going to be in serious trouble.

But in the next instant, disbelief flashed across their eyes.

Zhu Zhuqing had vanished, leaving nothing behind but a ripple of disturbed air.

Zhu Zhuqing’s third soul skill—Shadow Flash!

Teleportation?! The two of them immediately thought of the same technique. Their battle instincts kicked in as they scanned the battlefield.

But there was no sign of her.

Where did she go?

In just a heartbeat, they had swept their eyes across the entire field. A chill crept up their spines.

Outside the arena, Yu Tianheng’s face darkened as he watched the battle. "You idiots! Why are you only looking at the ground? Ever think to check the sky?!"

High in the air, a shiver ran down Yufeng’s spine. A nameless fear surged in his heart.

Without warning, a ripple of soul power stirred behind him—Zhu Zhuqing had appeared midair, right behind him.

Her expression remained cold as ever. Compared to the Ghost Leopard Oslo, the more troublesome one was this Windchime soul master. Aerial superiority was a powerful advantage.

Which made him her top priority.

Normally, Zhu Zhuqing wouldn’t be able to attack someone flying. But after spending time with Shen An and Tom, her way of thinking had shifted—becoming far more unconventional.

Who said teleportation could only go left or right? Why not up or down?

Her second soul ring lit up—MoonlightHundred Claws!

Her claws extended, glowing faintly with lunar brilliance, radiating deadly sharpness. In an instant, she unleashed over a hundred slashing strikes at Yufeng’s wings, each one a critical blow, each one piercing his defenses.

Shff shff shff shff!

In the blink of an eye, the completely unguarded Yufeng was slashed over a hundred times. His wings were shredded beyond recognition, blood gushing from the crisscrossing claw wounds—a terrifying sight.

Forget that agility-type soul masters had low defense to begin with. Just the raw power Zhu Zhuqing had built up from all her weight training was more than Yufeng could endure.

Zhu Zhuqing had become a fusion of speed and strength—how could Yufeng possibly block her?

Thus, a strange scene played out in midair: Zhu Zhuqing, who couldn’t fly, managed to maintain aerial control by leveraging the force of her claw strikes.

On the ground, Oslo was sweating profusely. He wanted to help, but he couldn’t fly! No matter how he jumped, he couldn’t reach that height!

Yufeng could no longer stay airborne. With a whoosh, he plummeted from the sky.

He gritted his teeth against the pain and tried to channel soul power into his wings—but was met with an even worse discovery.

Zhu Zhuqing’s claw strikes had infused a strange soul power that damaged and clogged his meridians. His wounds were so severe he couldn’t circulate soul power at all.

Boom!

Yufeng crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. He struggled to get up and continue fighting—but his body simply wouldn’t cooperate.

"Lingling, go heal Yufeng!" Yu Tianheng ordered sternly.

Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling had been in their own little duel. Now that Ye Lingling had come to, she rushed forward to treat Yufeng after seeing how badly injured he was.

Petal-like soul power drifted toward Yufeng, and his wounds began to heal at a miraculous pace. The bleeding stopped, scabs formed, scars fell off, and new skin grew.

Shen An watched this scene with amazement, marveling at the wonders of a healing-type soul master.

Tom and Jerry were equally stunned. They both gasped in unison, "Woooah," clearly shocked by Ye Lingling’s power. It was anything but normal.

Shen An rolled his eyes at them. "You two are surprised? You’re the real walking bugs here."

Cut to the battlefield— Oslo was now drenched in sweat. Two people ganged up on one, and they’d just started, but one of them got insta-defeated. How were they supposed to win now?

No—there was still a chance. As long as he could strike the moment Zhu Zhuqing landed from the air, while she had no footing, he might still pull off a comeback.

Oslo’s beast-like eyes locked onto Zhu Zhuqing’s descending form. At this rate, she would hit the ground in two or three seconds.

Then, the next moment, Zhu Zhuqing vanished from his view once again.

Teleportation—again?!

Oslo screamed internally. What the hell was this soul skill?! Did it not use any soul power?! How could she keep using it like this?!

In the blink of an eye, Zhu Zhuqing came at him like a storm.

Fast! So fast! So fast! So fast!

An overwhelming speed!

Oslo’s alarm bells blared. Without a second thought, and ignoring the soul power drain, all three of his soul rings burst into light.

Under the enhancement of soul power and soul skills, he barely managed to catch a glimpse of Zhu Zhuqing’s attack path.

With a roar, he chose to meet her head-on.

Cat-type Martial Souls had speed, but lacked strength. She’d been using teleportation repeatedly, so her soul power must be running low. She wouldn’t dare clash with him directly.

So what if she was faster? As long as he could seize the rhythm of the battle, victory would still be his.

The two blurred figures collided. Zhu Zhuqing’s sharp claws met Oslo’s leopard claws midair.

Meng Shenji and the others frowned. "Not a smart move," someone muttered. A cat-type Martial Soul clashing with a panther-type in strength? Bad idea.

The better strategy would’ve been to keep dodging, rely on her speed, and chip away at him with sharp attacks.

But in the next second, a dull thud rang out—Oslo was sent flying like a ragdoll.

Like a popped balloon, Oslo crashed to the ground with a stunned expression on his face. That was a cat’s claw?! That was more like a tiger’s!

When he fought Ning Rongrong, sure, he was unprepared and didn’t use his Martial Soul.

But against Zhu Zhuqing, he had used everything—Martial Soul, soul rings, soul power—all out.

And still got launched.

Are you a damn agility-type soul master or a power-type?! That kind of strength is almost on par with Soul Sect-level Yu Tianheng!

Meng Shenji rushed over, eyes blazing with excitement as he stood beside Zhu Zhuqing.

"Please, you must join Heaven Dou Team One."

Lying on the ground, Oslo.
