Chapter 187: The Turtle’s Trample
Yu Feiqing, like Si Xu, was wood attribute. His three soul pets were Thorn Bird, Thousand-Mile Eagle, and a mixed-blood Azure Wood Flood Dragon with wings.
The Thorn Bird was a white bird resembling a pigeon, capable of summoning thorny vines to fight. Its thorns were especially troublesome.
The Thousand-Mile Eagle was a highly popular mount-type soul pet—fast, enduring, and extremely stable in flight. Its primary attack method was wind-based strikes.
The Azure Wood Flood Dragon was the highest-ranked among them, a high-grade superior beast, two grades above the other two.
It also possessed the most skills and the strongest offensive power. Its only drawback was that it had only recently been contracted and had not yet formed much tacit understanding with Yu Feiqing.
Although Si Xu and the green-haired turtle had not built much chemistry either, this soul master had been “claimed” by the turtle itself, so it cherished him.
The moment it was summoned, the green-haired turtle immediately cast protective shields over Si Xu and their two teammates.
Then it grew bigger—bigger—and even bigger, occupying two-thirds of the platform by itself. The arena suddenly felt cramped.
Si Er frowned in confusion. “Why did Qingshui grow so big? Second Brother won’t have room to move.”
Yu Beixuan replied, “But wasn’t it hard for him to move anyway?”
Si Xu was not like Si Er, who could send someone flying with a single kick.
Si Er shook his head. “But Second Brother isn’t good at close combat either. This doesn’t seem advantageous.”
Si Xu also wanted the turtle to shrink a little, but two moss-covered vines extended from its back and wrapped around his waist, pulling him onto its shell.
The turtle spoke earnestly through spiritual transmission. “You’re such a handsome boy. Fighting up close wouldn’t look good.”
Si Xu frowned. “What do you mean? Are you saying Er-Er doesn’t look good, or that he shouldn’t fight personally?”
The turtle froze.
Heavens! Is this what they call brother-obsessed? It hadn’t even mentioned Si Er once!
But thinking about how Si Er loved beating people up personally—and did so rather impressively—the turtle fell silent.
After a moment, it continued, “That’s different. His strength is overwhelming. Every time he fights, he completely crushes the opponent.”
“You did eat some Power Watermelon too, but you’re not at that level yet, right?”
“If you can’t crush your opponent, it doesn’t look good. When you reach that level, it’ll look impressive too.”
The turtle felt times were changing, and perhaps its own thinking should change as well.
After all, Si Er looked rather dashing when beating people. If Si Xu gained that same overwhelming strength, the contrast might be quite charming.
“You haven’t reached the level of crushing Yu Feiqing yet—but that’s fine. I have!”
“So leave him to me. Xuxu just needs to sit back and watch how I chase and trample him.”
Si Xu looked doubtful. “You? Chase?”
Turtle-type beasts were not known for speed. Even Lu Taiping’s wind-attribute Xibi Turtle, considered swift among turtles, was still slow compared to other mount-type beasts.
But there were exceptions. Si Er had once mentioned in his thoughts that Instructor Yan Bo’s green-haired turtle could run astonishingly fast.
Was this one similar?
Soon, Si Xu had his answer.
Second Brother’s green-haired turtle isn’t as fast as Instructor Yan Bo’s, but it’s incredibly oppressive! It’s almost pushing Yu Feiqing off the platform!
Indeed similar—they’re the same hybrid type. Xuxu’s might even have better lineage, Guagua commented.
Not bad, not bad. So Qingshui plans to stomp Yu Feiqing to death?
Not literally, but it can surround him and give him a proper beating.
That was exactly the turtle’s plan. It occupied two-thirds of the field; the Sky-Shrouding Condor could easily take the remaining third.
If they trapped Yu Feiqing in between, they could crush him without even trying.
Of course, Yu Feiqing had three soul pets too—he was not so easy to deal with.
As the turtle chased Yu Feiqing around the arena, thorny vines began sprouting across the platform, summoned by seeds scattered by the Thorn Bird.
Yet the turtle’s hide was thick, and with its protective shield, it walked over the thorny ground as if on flat earth.
The Sky-Shrouding Condor and the Medicine Spirit Bird flew in the air, unaffected by the thorns below.
Yu Feiqing had heard that Black Tortoise Academy’s turtles had tough shells, but he had assumed there was a limit. The thorns were sharper than iron needles—yet they could not pierce the turtle at all.
Just how thick was its skin?
He had thought that once the platform was filled with thorns, he could rest briefly.
Instead, the thorns restricted his movement, not the turtle’s.
The thorns did not actively attack him, but if he ran carelessly into dense patches, he would be pricked into a hedgehog.
Seeing the turtle’s massive foot about to stomp down on his head, Yu Feiqing quickly whistled for the Thousand-Mile Eagle to pick him up.
The eagle was obedient. It had been battling the Sky-Shrouding Condor midair, but upon hearing the whistle, it immediately descended.
However, the condor would not allow it to go so easily. It blocked the eagle stubbornly, refusing to let it descend to help.
The Thorn Bird wanted to assist too. If it retracted the thorns temporarily, Yu Feiqing would at least have room to escape.
But the Medicine Spirit Bird entangled it, preventing any help.
At first, the Thorn Bird had not taken the Medicine Spirit Bird seriously. In its view, it was merely a support-type beast without combat power.
But times had changed. With Si Er’s help, the Medicine Spirit Bird had inherited the demon phoenix remnant flame of the Five-Colored Fire Luan.
The flames were extremely effective. They could burn away the thorns on the platform—or burn off the Thorn Bird’s feathers.
Burning the thorns would help Yu Feiqing, so the Medicine Spirit Bird focused solely on scorching the Thorn Bird itself.
The Thorn Bird was stunned. It had no idea where the Medicine Spirit Bird had obtained fire.
It sent a transmission to ask.
The Medicine Spirit Bird replied calmly, “This is the fire of fury I ignited after your soul master ‘cuckolded’ my Xuxu.”
The Thorn Bird rolled its eyes. “Stop joking. That’s not funny.”
“Of course it’s not funny,” the Medicine Spirit Bird said coldly. “It’ll only be funny when I burn both you and that scoundrel Yu Feiqing bald.”
Alarmed, the Thorn Bird flew higher, out of the Medicine Spirit Bird’s reach, finally relaxing.
But once it flew too high, Yu Feiqing could no longer see it.
Unable to locate the Thorn Bird, Yu Feiqing called for help from the Azure Wood Flood Dragon—but the dragon ignored him.
It was relentlessly launching skill after skill at the green-haired turtle, yet none of its spiritual attacks caused the slightest damage.
Infuriated, it continued attacking without pause, even though the effort was useless.
It completely ignored Yu Feiqing’s summons.
Sitting atop the turtle, Si Xu let out a cold laugh. “Yu Feiqing, how pitiful. Even your own soul pets won’t obey you.”
Yu Feiqing snapped, “Si Xu, if you have the guts, jump down and fight me one-on-one!”
“What nonsense are you talking?” the turtle scoffed. “Who do you think you are? Worthy of our Xuxu fighting personally?”
Its front foot came down—and stepped squarely on Yu Feiqing’s face.
