Kapitel 15: The White Flag, Taking The Stage
After both teams finished probing the other for weaknesses, figures from both teams launched themselves forward. The red-haired attacker, Yun'Er, from Class Nine as well as Dai Huabin engaged each other, while Zhu Lu attempted to break the defenses of the green-haired controller, Wu Feng.
Team Qing's goal was to attack the support, Ning Tian, who was the greatest threat, while it was Team Ning's goal to defend their captain. Knowing this, Ning Tian did not hesitate to use her spirit to empower her teammates, shouting, "Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda - Speed, Attack, Defense!"
Three colors instantly appeared on her teammates bodies, giving them a boost of power to put both Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu on the backfoot despite the level advantage.
Teacher of Class One, Zhou Yi, had a face of alarm as she heard the incantation. "She's in that clan!" She looked across to find the Teacher of Class Nine smiling at her. Clenching her fist, she looked towards the field where her students were fighting. 'The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Clan is known for having the best support spirit.' However, upon remembering that the mysterious Xin Qing was also Level 31, her expression relaxed.
If Zhou Yi could recognize this, how could the participants not? This was why Team Ning instantly became nervous when Xin Qing had finally moved, albeit only one leisurely step at a time.
His two teammates looked back at Xin Qing, cursing his unrushed behavior. 'Can he not see that we are struggling here?'
As if he heard their inner voices, Xin Qing suddenly flashed forward in a gust of wind, as the breeze carried the faint murmur, "2nd Truth - Uncertainty."
Yun'Er had seen the flash of a sword and tried to block it with her enhanced reflexes and dragon claw, however something odd occurred. Just when it was about to hit her claw, the sword suddenly dodged it. Yes, it snaked around her claw as if it had a mind of its own. She was still confused when her body fell to the ground, unconscious but breathing.
All the teachers and even Zi Xuan raised their brows at once. Do not be mistaken, the sword move was good, but it wouldn't have been enough to move these masters. The reason it drew so much attention was because no spirit ring had appeared.
Zhou Yi stared on in marvel, forgetting her stern appearance. "That--a move able to one-shot someone roughly at the same level--was pure technique!?" Do not forget, Yun'Er was still under the three buffs of Ning Tian, meaning that she would not be much less than a Level 28 or 29 Spirit Master. In addition, seeing Xin Qing's unbothered appearance, it suggested that he could do far more.
In fact, the teachers of Shrek could not be blamed for their surprise as the Nine Truths Sword Art was a collection of hundreds of thousands of years of inheritances in the Nine Sun Sword Sect that was self-created and perfected in Xin Qing's own hands. Add this to the fact that Spirit Masters prioritized increasing spirit power and focus less on honing crafts, it made Xin Qing's combat standards with the swords many levels higher than they expected.
And the show was not over, as with another Uncertainty, the control master Wu Feng was also promptly knocked out. With a peaceful smile towards Ning Tian, Xin Qing asked, "Want to continue?"
Ning Tian was not a brash person and knew she could not one versus three as a support with no more allies. She surrendered and the judge declared the match over, "Team Qing will head to the finals."
Xin Qing nodded at the girl's wise decision, knowing her path would not end here. Getting down from the stage, he noticed the awkward looks from his teammates, but chose to ignore them as he quickly went to spectate Team Yuhao's match.
Team Yuhao won against their opponents who also had a Level 30 attacker, despite their level disadvantage. Xin Qing ascended the stage before the judge had even started the match. The judge was about to warn him, when Xin Qing flashed a friendly smile, implying he meant no harm and would wait for Yuhao's team to recover. The judge grunted softly.
Yuhao and Wang Dong noticed Xin Qing's presence and were alert. Upon seeing that he had no movements, they relaxed their guards. Xiao Xiao was looking at the two of them and noticed how complicated their expressions became looking at Xin Qing. She narrowed her eyes at the mysterious black-haired boy in curiosity.
As both teams recovered, they stood across from each other. Xin Qing was still smiling when he felt a sharp aura quickly appear and then disappear. He looked closely at Yuhao, who was unable to remove his eyes from Dai Huabin, as the judge started the match.
