137: Chapter 137 One for Two, the Situation is Not Good

Although the heroic spirit that suddenly appeared wasn't powerful, it was undoubtedly fatal for Ye Wushang, who was currently at the end of his rope.

"Bang!!!!"

The hidden Tier 6 heroic spirit punched Ye Wushang, sending him flying right off the stage.

"When did this Yamashita Tetsuya hide a heroic spirit..."

"Devious, devious, devious! WTF, as expected of someone from the Sakura Country, truly too underhanded..."

"That's not right. I've been watching the battlefield the whole time; all the heroic spirits he summoned were dealt with by Ye Wushang..."

"What on earth is going on? Why was there another heroic spirit hidden..."

After Ye Wushang was defeated, the surrounding ability users discussed it one after another, their faces filled with confusion.

This battle should have been won by Ye Wushang, but because of this hidden heroic spirit, Yamashita Tetsuya was the one left standing.

But none of them understood why there was still a heroic spirit in hiding.

Mu Qinghuang and the others also had extremely ugly expressions. Ye Wushang's defeat was a massive blow.

"This Yamashita Tetsuya must have secretly hidden a heroic spirit here before the match started. He didn't command it but let it stay hidden, waiting for a chance to turn the tables!"

At this moment, Aaron Helens from the United States spoke up from not far away, saying indifferently.

"That's right. That was a heroic spirit I hid on the martial arena yesterday; it's been hidden here all night!"

Yamashita Tetsuya admitted it candidly. Although he had reached his limit, his mission was considered complete now that he had eliminated Ye Wushang.

"How despicable, to use such a method!"

"It's an unfair victory. This Yamashita Tetsuya from the Sakura Country is too damn devious..."

"We'll have to be careful dealing with him in the future; otherwise, we might get sold out without even knowing it..."

The surrounding ability users spoke up one after another, their eyes filled with disdain as they looked at Yamashita Tetsuya.

Whether it was the previous Tier 7 heroic spirit or the hidden one later, they all revealed Yamashita Tetsuya's character.

However, Yamashita Tetsuya didn't care and remained incredibly arrogant.

"The next contestant from the Xia Country, Wang Tianba, please take the stage in one minute!"

At this time, Ivan, standing beside the martial arena, spoke slowly, announcing the Xia Country's next opponent.

"Tianba, Yamashita Tetsuya has reached his limit, but don't underestimate him. Don't give him any chances. Once you're on stage, use the Devastation Warhammer to finish him off immediately!"

A weak Ye Wushang grabbed Wang Tianba's hand and said in a heavy voice.

"Don't worry, Big Brother Ye. Leave it to me!"

Wang Tianba was full of confidence.

Then, when the time was up, Wang Tianba slowly stepped onto the stage, carrying his heavy hammer.

"Hmph, Yamashita Tetsuya, how dare you hurt our Big Brother Ye. I'm going to end you once and for all!"

After stepping onto the stage, Wang Tianba said coldly, staring at Yamashita Tetsuya with fierce eyes.

"What's wrong with this Wang Tianba? Just go up and do it, why is he still talking trash!"

Mu Qinghuang frowned as she heard Wang Tianba's imposing words.

Right now was a critical moment; every word spoken was giving Yamashita Tetsuya a chance to catch his breath.

Ye Wushang, who was recovering, felt a faint sense of unease as he looked at Wang Tianba.

Zhou Bai's words from yesterday about there being a mole resurfaced in Ye Wushang's mind.

"No, it couldn't be. Tianba was just caught up in his anger; there definitely wouldn't be a problem," Ye Wushang murmured to himself.

"Then let me see what you're capable of!"

Yamashita Tetsuya looked at Wang Tianba and said indifferently.

"Fine, die!!!"

Wang Tianba roared and raised the heavy hammer in his hand, then charged straight ahead. He didn't use any martial arts or secret techniques, intending to eliminate Yamashita Tetsuya with the raw power of the heavy hammer.

Seeing this, Yamashita Tetsuya lightly raised his right hand. The hidden heroic spirit that had eliminated Ye Wushang instantly appeared in front of Wang Tianba, blocking the impact of his heavy hammer.

Immediately after, behind the heroic spirit, Yamashita Tetsuya gathered the final trace of his Amaterasu God heroic spirit.

Then, Yamashita Tetsuya moved the Amaterasu God heroic spirit behind Wang Tianba and directly detonated the newly summoned heroic spirit.

"Boom!!!!"

The impact from the Amaterasu God heroic spirit's self-destruction was terrifying, blasting both Wang Tianba and Yamashita Tetsuya off the stage.

Both Yamashita Tetsuya and Wang Tianba were eliminated.

"Holy crap, even in that state, Yamashita Tetsuya managed to trade himself for a Rank 6 from the Xia Country..."

"It's over, it's over. The Xia Country is doomed. One Yamashita Tetsuya took down two Rank 6s. Now, the advantage lies with the Sakura Country..."

"Is the Xia Country really going to lose this round? They clearly had such a great advantage..."

"Yamashita Tetsuya is too devious. Damn, this guy is ruthless..."

The double elimination caused the surrounding ability users to discuss it fervently, their eyes filled with astonishment.

Yamashita Tetsuya clearly only had one breath left, yet he still managed to take out a Rank 6 from the Xia Country. This exceeded everyone's expectations.

The faces of everyone from the Xia Country turned exceptionally grim.

"Wang Tianba, didn't I tell you to use the Devastation Warhammer immediately?"

At this moment, Ye Wushang was trembling with rage, his gaze fixed on Wang Tianba as if he wanted to devour him.

"Big Brother Ye, I... I just wanted... wanted to save some strength for the next opponent..."

Wang Tianba lowered his head deeply and said with a tremble.

The blood and energy inside Ye Wushang's body surged continuously as he stared at Wang Tianba.

Wang Tianba's behavior truly infuriated Ye Wushang.

If he weren't seriously injured right now, Ye Wushang felt like he would have given Wang Tianba a severe beating.

At this time, Zhou Bai's warning from yesterday once again surfaced in Ye Wushang's mind.

Could it be that this Wang Tianba really is...

At this thought, a deep, icy fear welled up in Ye Wushang's heart. Since when could his teammates in the World Martial Arts Competition no longer be trusted?

"Next, Gu Yu from the Xia Country versus Seguchi Ōkawa from the Sakura Country!"

Ivan then announced the two opponents for the next battle.

"Gao Yu, good luck!"

Ye Wushang looked at Gao Yu, who was preparing to take the stage, feeling somewhat dazed, but he still spoke to him.

"I will!"

Gao Yu said in a heavy voice, then stepped directly onto the martial arena.

The Sakura Country's team was also cheering for Seguchi Ōkawa. Clearly, Yamashita Tetsuya's maneuvers had restored their confidence and sparked their ambition for victory.

Soon, both sides were on stage, and a fierce battle broke out.

Gu Yu had an SS-rank Wood-element talent, while Seguchi Ōkawa had an SS-rank Psychic Power talent.

Fighting in this martial arena, Gu Yu didn't have the advantage; instead, he was somewhat countered.

The battle between the two lasted for over ten minutes. Finally, Seguchi Ōkawa eliminated Gu Yu using a powerful spiritual ability.

The Sakura Country had three Rank 6s left, while the Xia Country only had Mu Qinghuang as a Rank 6 and four Rank 5s left. They had fallen into a dire situation.
