"Second Spirit Ring ability, Sorrowful Wind Cry."
The Azure Luan Spirit let out clear and resonant cries.
Spirit Masters with weaker spiritual power would easily become affected by it.
As expected, the Xiong brothers were struck. Their perception was numbed, and they could no longer track Wu Qi's rapidly flickering figure.
Wu Qi's objective was clear. Under the cover of his Luan wings, the Crane Cloud Wings spread out. With the significant speed enhancement, his body moved like a phantom across the platform, heading straight for Xiong Er.
"Second Brother!" Xiong Da's eyes widened.
With his perception numbed and his limbs sluggish, it would take time for him to move in support.
Seeing this reaction, Wu Qi silently confirmed his judgment.
A brother who deeply cared for his younger sibling would never willingly leave him in danger.
As long as Xiong Da focused solely on supporting Xiong Er, Ning Rongrong would be completely safe.
The continuous enhancement from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit was crucial to the outcome of this match. Wu Qi did not intend to "lose" Ning Rongrong at the very beginning.
His sharpened wings slashed down repeatedly.
With Xiong Er's perception numbed, he struggled to defend against the rapid assault.
In just a single breath, several wounds appeared on his body, cut by the blade-like wings, blood flowing continuously.
Wu Qi withdrew his second Spirit Ring ability, and the spiritual control effect gradually faded.
As the numbness disappeared, Xiong Da quickly rushed forward to assist.
"First Spirit Ring ability, Mad Bear Crushing Fist."
As a power-type Spirit Master, the force of this punch was formidable.
Previously, Wu Qi would not have chosen to clash head-on.
But with Ning Rongrong's strength enhancement, his fighting style became bolder.
His right leg shot out, blocking Xiong Da's punch. Using the momentum from the impact, he retreated backward.
Xiong Da did not pursue immediately. Instead, he turned to check Xiong Er's injuries, his expression growing darker.
He seemed to understand that Wu Qi had not targeted Xiong Er merely because of his lower Spirit Power Level, but because he had identified Xiong Da's weakness.
Wu Qi was certain Xiong Da would not attack Ning Rongrong directly. If he did, he would be at a disadvantage.
Such sharp insight was not something an ordinary genius could possess.
Wu Qi's true strength was completely opposite to the impression given by his team name.
The audience's stance shifted along with the battle.
Wu Qi's display of strength, toying with his two opponents, immediately drew praise.
Some spectators were puzzled. "With strength like that, why choose such a team name?"
Warm Little Nest clearly sounded like something chosen by a young girl.
When they saw Ning Rongrong on the platform, many immediately understood.
The match continued.
Although Wu Qi gained the upper hand in the first exchange, it was insignificant in the larger scope of the battle.
As a Spirit Master, Xiong Er's vitality was strong. Despite his bleeding wounds, his strength had not diminished much.
"Second Spirit Ring ability, War Roar!"
Xiong Da and Xiong Er activated their Spirit Ring abilities simultaneously.
It was some form of enhancement ability. Wu Qi sensed their auras rise twice.
Apparently, this second Spirit Ring ability not only enhanced themselves but also affected their teammate.
Wu Qi recalled a theory he had once read.
Biological siblings with extremely close bonds might not only develop Spirit Fusion Skills, but could also possess complementary Spirit Ring abilities, similar to a group enhancement effect.
The Mad Bear Combination's consecutive victories were not due to luck. They were earned through real strength.
Wu Qi launched another attack, this time targeting Xiong Da to test his enhanced strength.
"Wing Blade Slash!"
His sharpened wings slashed forward, the sound of tearing wind ringing sharply.
A faint smile appeared on Xiong Da's lips as his claws shot out, catching the attack.
"Kid, you're the most talented person I've ever seen. But unfortunately, you haven't grown strong enough yet."
"Today, my brother and I will teach you a proper lesson!"
In Xiong Da's eyes were traces of envy and jealousy toward a genius like Wu Qi, but above all, a desire for victory.
Wu Qi's heart sank.
With this all-around enhancement, Xiong Da's strength was comparable to that of an ordinary Spirit Ancestor. He would be extremely difficult to handle.
But Wu Qi was far from out of options.
He executed the Azure Luan Ariel Technique, using rapid wing slashes to restrain Xiong Da's offense.
This was a two-on-two match. Wu Qi was only holding off one opponent.
The brothers exchanged a glance. Xiong Er immediately moved forward, intending to eliminate Ning Rongrong.
Wu Qi felt a surge of quiet satisfaction.
Xiong Da showed no suspicion when Wu Qi shifted his focus, and Xiong Er clearly trusted his brother completely.
Seeing that Xiong Er had exposed his back, Wu Qi prepared for a sneak attack.
As Xiong Er rushed toward her, Ning Rongrong stepped backward.
She did not immediately step off the platform, still hoping that Wu Qi would come to her aid.
But as Xiong Er closed in and Wu Qi made no move to rescue her, Ning Rongrong realized it was time to leave the platform.
Just before Xiong Er's claws could strike, her right foot stepped outside the platform's boundary. The referee immediately announced her elimination.
Xiong Er promptly withdrew his attack.
Striking a competitor who had already been eliminated was a serious violation. With a strict referee, he himself could have been disqualified.
A perfect opportunity!
The Azure Luan Ariel Technique had already accumulated significant power. Wu Qi broke free from Xiong Da's entanglement and rushed toward Xiong Er's back at high speed.
"Watch out!" Xiong Da shouted.
Xiong Er hurriedly turned around, but in that instant, Wu Qi was already in front of him.
"Third Spirit Ring ability, Storm Surge!"
The Azure Luan wings flapped rapidly. Centered on Xiong Er's body, fierce gale-force winds erupted.
He had no time to defend. His body was swept into the storm.
The cutting winds were like blades. Within the storm, the wounds on Xiong Er's body were torn open further. In the end, he was flung off the platform and fell to the ground.
His injuries were not overly severe, except for one, his mouth had been sliced open by a long wound extending toward his cheek.
Clearly, this was Wu Qi's response to his earlier insults.
Ning Rongrong was overjoyed, clapping excitedly from below the platform.
Each side had now lost one member. The match became a one-on-one battle.
At the same time, both sides' enhancement Spirit Ring abilities faded. What followed would be a direct contest of strength.
Wu Qi was uncertain whether the brothers possessed a Spirit Fusion Skill. Eliminating one of them first completely dismantled that potential trump card.
Xiong Da's expression was frighteningly grim. His eyes burned as he said, "Kid, you should never have injured Xiong Er like that!"
Scars on the body could be hidden by clothing, but scars on the face could not.
Wu Qi replied calmly, "He should learn to grow on his own, instead of relying on his older brother's strength to act recklessly."
In one-on-one battles at the same Level, Wu Qi had never been defeated.
But he did not grow arrogant, nor did he underestimate his opponent.
In the following fight against Xiong Da, his performance was exceptional, maximizing his advantages to their fullest.
The short-legged Xiong Da could not even touch him and was led around the platform the entire time.
There was no suspense in the match. Five minutes later, Xiong Da voluntarily conceded, bringing the battle to an end.
A victory of the weak over the strong, exactly the kind of match the audience loved to see.
For a moment, thunderous cheers erupted from below the platform.
In the audience, Chang Kong watched with burning intensity in his eyes.
What Wu Qi could accomplish today, he believed he would achieve in the future as well.
