On the other side, Tang San had come up with a plan. "Teacher, I have a way to neutralize Dugu Yan's poison. We just need to use realgar wine and ignite it. Ideally, we'd use Fatty's phoenix flames, but since his level isn't high enough, we'll have to rely on Boss Dai's White Tiger Light Wave."
Yu Xiaogang nodded. "Give it a try when the time comes. If it works, that will solve a big problem. Otherwise, deal with her as soon as possible in the fight; leaving her till later will be troublesome."
"Understood!" the team responded in unison.
Meanwhile, in the Emperor Team's rest area, Qin Ming was silent as he reviewed the Shrek team's information. He was excited to face his old academy, especially with Yu Xiaogang leading. What surprised him most was that Shrek had recruited such a group of young monsters this year.
Although the information didn't specify their ages, having been a part of Shrek Academy himself, Qin Ming could estimate their ages. These Shrek students were definitely younger than Yu Tianheng and his team. However, Qin Ming thought that this was a good opportunity to give his students some real pressure.
"So, what do you all think of the Shrek team? Do you think you can win?" Qin Ming asked, looking at his students.
Everyone turned to Yu Tianheng. After a brief pause, Yu Tianheng responded, "The Shrek team is indeed strong, and their lineup is very balanced. Winning will be challenging, but not impossible."
"Our first focus should be their captain, Su Ming. According to the information, his control over plant-based attacks is strange. He can control, defend, and even assist. He's a versatile spirit master. I'll take on the responsibility of holding him off at the start, using the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique."
"In the meantime, Yan can use her Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's mutated spirit abilities to control Su Ming and Xiao Wu. The others should fall easily to Yan's third spirit skill, the poison mist."
"The key to our victory lies in Yan's poison. If she can control them effectively, we can win."
Yu Tianheng then turned to Qin Ming. "Teacher, you won't forbid Yan from using her poison, right? The Shrek team is strong, and we'll need it to win."
Qin Ming didn't disagree with the plan. Without Dugu Yan's martial spirit evolution, their chances would indeed be slim against Shrek. But now, with her newly enhanced abilities, she had become the linchpin of their strategy. He nodded in agreement with Yu Tianheng's analysis.
"Tianheng is right. He'll hold off Su Ming at the start with the Dragon Transformation, while Yan's first target should be Xiao Wu. We can't let that teleporting, charming spirit master have the chance to act."
"Oslo, you'll deal with Zhu Zhuqing. You're both agility-type spirit masters. Work with Yu Feng to pressure their backline. Focus on taking out their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda spirit master first."
"Shi Mo and Shi Mo, your task is to protect Lingling. If the fight drags out, it could turn into a battle of endurance."
Su Ming smiled to himself. Underestimating me, are they?
The Emperor Team all nodded in agreement. They were determined to win. As the first team of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, they carried the pride of the academy on their shoulders.
Though Dugu Yan agreed with the plan, she had her doubts. Could Yu Tianheng really hold off Su Ming? She knew that Su Ming wasn't as simple as he appeared. But she couldn't voice her concerns.
Sigh, let's take it one step at a time, she thought. For her, winning wasn't the most important thing. Finding a way for Su Ming to cure her and her grandfather's poison was far more critical.
As the time for the final team battle approached, the arena was filled with anticipation.
Standing on the stage, Director Ao announced loudly, "And now, for the final match of the night: Shrek Team versus Emperor Team!"
The crowd erupted in cheers, their excitement at its peak. Shrek had become the crowd favorite. Their battles were fast, clean, and always exciting. Not to mention, many of the spectators had been betting on them and winning money.
"Shrek! Shrek! Shrek!" the audience chanted.
The members of the Emperor Team felt the pressure. They were used to being the stars of the arena, but tonight, they were being overshadowed by Shrek.
Moments later, both teams took their positions on opposite sides of the stage, forming their respective formations.
Su Ming's eyes immediately locked onto Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, their distinctive purple and silver-white hair standing out.
To Su Ming, Ye Lingling was much more beautiful than Dugu Yan, possessing a cold, goddess-like demeanor. Despite her stunning looks, Su Ming found it strange that in the original story, she had little presence. If one didn't pay attention, they might not even notice her.
What puzzled Su Ming even more was the strange feeling he had when looking at Ye Lingling. No, to be precise, it felt like his martial spirit was resonating with hers.
Su Ming wasn't the only one who felt it. Ye Lingling, too, sensed something when their eyes met. Though she didn't know why, she found Su Ming's presence oddly familiar, almost comforting.
Ye Lingling hadn't yet connected this feeling to what the system had mentioned before. The system's cryptic words hadn't given her any clues.
Su Ming, on the other hand, had more knowledge. Generally speaking, when two people felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity and their martial spirits resonated with each other, it often meant they had a high chance of being able to use a spirit fusion technique together.
But he couldn't quite figure out how his wood-elemental martial spirit could fuse with her Nine Heart Begonia. Was it because both were related to healing and support?
Su Ming was genuinely surprised that his martial spirit could resonate with Ye Lingling's, possibly allowing them to use a martial spirit fusion technique. This realization intrigued him, and he thought it might be worth finding a chance to approach her—he suspected she would also be interested.
After exchanging a few glances with Ye Lingling, Su Ming quickly looked away, not willing to admit he was the one who backed down, even if it was just because staring too long might come off as rude. In contrast, Ye Lingling's cold, expressionless face didn't change in the slightest. Su Ming couldn't discern any emotion from her.
At this moment, the Emperor Team formed a 1-3-2-1 formation with Yu Tianheng in front, followed by Oslo, Dugu Yan, and Yu Feng, and then Shi Mo, Shi Mo, and Ye Lingling at the back. On the other hand, the Shrek team used a 3-2-2 formation. Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dai Mubai took the front, followed by Su Ming and Tang San in the middle, with Ning Rongrong and Oscar in the rear.
This formation had already helped them defeat seven teams of Soul Elders. Su Ming handled crowd control while Tang San provided support with his Blue Silver Grass, although he didn't need to help much since Su Ming had things under control. Tang San's main role had now shifted to protecting Oscar, while Ning Rongrong, having learned the Lingbo Weibu (Wave Treading Skill), could easily dodge most attacks, given her improved mental strength, unless the enemy was extremely fast.
Su Ming kept part of his attention on Ning Rongrong throughout the battle, ensuring no unexpected incidents occurred.
Once both teams were ready, Director Ao didn't waste any time and shouted from the side of the stage, "Let the battle begin!"
Yu Tianheng quickly issued orders, "Oslo, Yu Feng, you two focus on stalling Zhu Zhuqing!"
As for Dai Mubai, Yu Tianheng wasn't too concerned yet—if necessary, Shi Mo could handle him, at least for now. Their main plan was for Yu Tianheng to hold off Su Ming while Dugu Yan quickly dealt with Xiao Wu.
Not willing to take any chances, Yu Tianheng immediately released his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial spirit and activated the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique, turning his arms into dragon claws. Then, he charged straight toward Su Ming. "Third spirit skill: Thunder Fury!"
This skill enhanced the dragon's rage state, doubling his attack power and increasing his spirit power by 50%.
With his third spirit skill active, Yu Tianheng felt his power surge. His second spirit ring lit up next—Thunder Explosion, a group attack skill that surrounded him with violent lightning, further boosting his attack by 30%, and then doubling it with the dragon form.
Seeing Yu Tianheng unleash such power right at the start, Su Ming smirked. "He's coming for me right from the beginning. Interesting!" He immediately summoned several vines, wrapping them around Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dai Mubai, pulling them out of Yu Tianheng's attack range. Su Ming wanted to see what the Emperor Team had in store.
"Yu Tianheng is mine," Su Ming said calmly. "You three take care of the others. Tang San, assist them."
As Xiao Wu and the others moved into action, Dugu Yan had already released her three spirit skills. The arena was soon filled with a mix of colored poisonous mists, surprising Shrek's members.
Is the Emperor Team on steroids or something? They were all pushing themselves so hard!
Dugu Yan smiled slightly at Su Ming and Xiao Wu. Let's see how strong you really are!
With her spirit skills now different from before, Dugu Yan believed that even Su Ming couldn't anticipate her new abilities.
Meanwhile, Su Ming ignored Dugu Yan's poison for the moment, trusting Tang San and Dai Mubai to handle it with realgar wine and an explosion. He focused on Yu Tianheng.
Approaching rapidly, Yu Tianheng's final yellow spirit ring lit up. "First spirit skill: Thunder Dragon Claw!"
Having used multiple spirit skills in quick succession along with the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique, Yu Tianheng felt his spirit power and stamina draining fast. He knew he had to finish this quickly. If this attack failed, things would get much harder.
Seeing how serious Yu Tianheng was, Su Ming shook his head. He didn't want to waste time on him and decided to knock him out of the arena right away.
At the perfect moment, Su Ming used his Giant Wood Hand Technique. A massive wooden hand shot out, catching Yu Tianheng mid-air, rendering him immobile.
Yu Tianheng was stunned. When did Su Ming use his spirit skill? Why didn't I see any spirit rings light up?
Desperately, Yu Tianheng unleashed his full power, repeatedly attacking the wooden hand with Thunder Dragon Claw and Thunder Explosion, but to no avail. The hand was only slightly damaged at first, but then it quickly regenerated, leaving him in disbelief.
Ridiculous!
Yu Tianheng's eyes widened as he stared at Su Ming in shock. His full-force attack couldn't even break a wooden hand?
What Yu Tianheng didn't know was that Su Ming could now use spirit skills without revealing his spirit rings. Moreover, the Giant Wood Hand was enhanced with toughness and life force, making it nearly unbreakable by Yu Tianheng's efforts.
With a smile, Su Ming waved goodbye to Yu Tianheng, signaling the end. A wooden dragon emerged behind Yu Tianheng and, with a flick of its tail, sent him flying off the stage.
Qin Ming stepped forward in disbelief. How is this possible?
Yu Tianheng had given his all, yet he couldn't even withstand one move from Su Ming!
The rest of the Emperor Team was equally shocked. "Captain!"
Dugu Yan called out, "Tianheng!" She glanced nervously at Su Ming. I hope my poison will be effective.
On the other side, Tang San was just pulling out the realgar wine from his soul tool when he saw that Su Ming had already finished his fight. Well, so much for making an entrance!
Su Ming: I didn't mean to steal your thunder.
Tang San quickly turned to Dai Mubai. "Boss Dai, get ready!"
He tossed the bottle of realgar wine toward the poisonous mist, and Dai Mubai timed his White Tiger Light Wave perfectly, igniting it.
Boom!
Dugu Yan's expression changed slightly. So realgar wine really can neutralize my snake poison? But she quickly smiled confidently. "Do you really think realgar wine can still break my snake poison? Look for yourselves!"
Both Tang San and Su Ming froze for a moment. What's going on? Dugu Yan's poison hadn't been neutralized by the realgar wine at all!
