Chapter 445: Chapter 445: Wood Style - Infernal Chaos
"Old monster, stop joking! Who could possibly give birth to septuplets? Her belly would explode!" Su Ming replied, shaking his head. A seven-in-one martial spirit fusion skill was beyond improbable—practically impossible.
Though Su Ming and Dugu Bo were only casually discussing it, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, who shared a relationship with Su Ming, couldn't help blushing, sneaking glances at him. Was Su Ming considering having a child?
If only Su Ming knew what they were thinking—he'd definitely feel wronged. He was simply talking about fusion skills, not planning for children! He barely had time for himself, much less for kids. Having a child now would only be a burden until everything was settled.
"Alright, monster," Dugu Bo asked, "are we staying to watch the other matches, or should we head out?"
Su Ming thought about it. Both Blazing Fire Academy and Tianshui Academy were up against weaker opponents, and Thunder Academy's match was already over. "Let's go. Nothing else worth watching," he said.
As they made their way out, they happened to cross paths with Tang San and his companions. Su Ming's attention, however, wasn't on Tang San but on Yu Xiaogang and... Dai Mubai.
"Well, well, 'Grandmaster,' it's only been a few days, and you've already lost an arm? And your spirit power? Or did you decide, with no hope of breaking level 30, that it was time to give up on life?" Su Ming asked with mock surprise.
Yu Xiaogang's face flushed with suppressed anger, but he forced a smile. "Yes, I thought maybe losing my power would help me rebuild and overcome my limits. Even if it doesn't work, I still have my theories!"
Yu Xiaogang's words sounded noble, but everyone could see through his forced composure. Ignoring him, Su Ming's eyes shifted to Dai Mubai, who looked increasingly malicious, his once-lustrous vitality greatly diminished.
Su Ming's heightened senses could detect Dai Mubai's dwindling life force. Had he been trading his lifespan for power? The same went for Oscar and Ma Hongjun, both showing signs of similar strain.
"Tell me, Dai Mubai," Su Ming said, his gaze penetrating, "how did your hair turn white so fast? Hmm... you're a Spirit King now. Don't tell me you resorted to some shady method."
Dai Mubai, taken aback by Su Ming's keen observation, grew defensive. However, he believed that after he won the throne, he'd find ways to regain his lost vitality.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dai Mubai with disdain, "I never thought you'd stoop this low. How can you call yourself the prince of the Star Luo Empire?"
Dai Mubai sneered, "Oh, Zhu Zhuqing, don't act so high and mighty! If it weren't for you rejecting me, I wouldn't have had to go to these lengths. You have Su Ming and others backing you up—how do you expect me to stand against Davis and Zhu Zhuyun's Hell White Tiger?"
Dai Mubai's fury surged, and the five spirit rings around him flared up, unleashing a powerful aura toward Zhu Zhuqing.
Su Ming had no intention of intervening; he knew Zhu Zhuqing could handle herself. With a heavy impact, Zhu Zhuqing's own spirit rings appeared: yellow, yellow, purple, and black. Her power was nearly equal to Dai Mubai's.
Dai Mubai's eyes widened at her spirit rings. "What! Your fourth ring is a ten-thousand-year ring?"
The others were equally stunned, especially Tang San—his fourth ring was only eight thousand years. Zhu Zhuqing, grateful, looked warmly at Su Ming. Seeing her gaze, Dai Mubai's jealousy turned to rage. In his mind, Su Ming was casting an enormous shadow over his life.
"Well, Zhu Zhuqing," Dai Mubai spat, "you're supposed to be the prince's fiancée, but you're sneaking around with an outsider. Just imagine what the empire will think of your family!"
Su Ming's eyes narrowed—what a baseless accusation! He and Zhu Zhuqing had done nothing improper, but Dai Mubai's insinuations were beyond tolerable.
"Dai Mubai! You'll pay for those words," Su Ming growled.
"Wood Style: Infernal Chaos!"
This was a technique that combined Wood Style and Kamui, creating thorn-laden trees that twisted and spiraled upward, binding and crushing the enemy in a deadly embrace.
In an instant, Dai Mubai's body was pierced by countless thorny branches.
"Argh!" Dai Mubai's screams of agony filled the air as Yu Xiaogang pointed at Su Ming, shouting, "Su Ming! This is the competition—are you trying to kill him?"
