Kapitel 387: Chapter 387: Breaking the Rules, Thunderclap Academy's Embarrassing Display
"Tsk tsk tsk, how tragic," Su Ming remarked with a hint of 'disgusted empathy.'
Despite the protection of their dragon transformation technique and Tang San's 'assistance' with Blue Silver Grass, Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin were ultimately left bloodied and unconscious from the onslaught. Without a strong healer, it was doubtful they'd be able to compete the next day.
Xiao Wu looked at Su Ming curiously, "Brother, did you see something? How are those two doing?"
Instead of answering Xiao Wu directly, Su Ming turned to Ning Rongrong with a smile, "Rongrong, why don't you use your spiritual power to sense it?"
Ning Rongrong understood immediately—Su Ming wanted to test her skill in manipulating spiritual power. She had practiced hard yesterday, even managing to condense her spiritual energy into a short sword. While it wasn't strong enough to pierce through a dedicated defense-focused Spirit Master, she was thrilled to finally have an offensive capability.
By focusing her senses, she quickly perceived Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng's condition and was alarmed—they were in a critical state, barely clinging to consciousness and in dire need of immediate medical attention. Without prompt intervention, they could face long-term damage or even death.
"Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng are in bad shape; they can't keep competing and need urgent medical care, or the consequences…" Ning Rongrong trailed off, looking gravely concerned.
Su Ming gave her an approving nod, "You're exactly right, Rongrong. Their strong constitutions and the protection of the dragon transformation technique kept them going this long. If it weren't for those advantages, they would've been done for."
"If either of them had died, Blazing Academy wouldn't just lose their place in the tournament—they'd be facing serious repercussions!" Su Ming continued, impressed with Huo Wu's bold move to target Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng with such focused force, even adding support abilities to amplify the damage. If those two had died, the wrath of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan would have fallen on Blazing Academy.
As the smoke cleared, the spectators saw Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng lying weakly on the platform, their bodies covered in burns and torn clothing. The host, Dou Dou, winced at the sight; Blazing Academy's attacks had clearly gone overboard.
Thunderclap Academy's advisor, Yu Xiaogang, stepped forward, his face dark with anger, "Thunderclap Academy requests a temporary pause in the match. Our two team members are unfit to continue and need to be taken for medical treatment immediately!"
Dou Dou looked troubled, "This...doesn't follow the rules."
There was no precedent for pausing a match, as participants typically left the stage by walking or being knocked out. The best course of action would be to concede, but since this break would give Thunderclap Academy time to recover, it seemed unfair to Blazing Academy. Yet, Dou Dou wasn't willing to offend Thunderclap Academy's lead instructor.
Noticing the host's dilemma, Huo Wu interjected with a casual smile, "Blazing Academy has no objections. Those two really are in rough shape, and since Thunderclap Academy isn't conceding, we won't take unnecessary risks."
"Who knows how long they can hold out in their current state? If they pass away during the match, Blazing Academy would lose its right to compete. No point in risking that for Thunderclap Academy's stubbornness," Huo Wu added.
A chorus of boos rose from the audience, directed not at Blazing Academy, but at Thunderclap Academy. By flouting the rules, Thunderclap Academy had forced Huo Wu to 'reluctantly' agree to give them a one-minute break, making her seem all the more magnanimous to the crowd.
This move instantly elevated Huo Wu's reputation in the audience's eyes, while Yu Xiaogang's actions tanked Thunderclap Academy's. Instead of conceding gracefully, they seemed willing to risk others' lives, potentially endangering Blazing Academy if their team members died.
Su Ming was amused. Huo Wu's handling of the situation was downright devious—but he liked it. Even Thunderclap Academy's former advisor couldn't hold back anymore, snapping at Yu Xiaogang, "Yu Xiaogang, look at the mess you've made! If Thunderclap Academy wants to keep its dignity, you need to concede immediately!"
"Do you really think the remaining five can take on Blazing Academy?" he continued, his voice tinged with anger.
Yu Xiaogang's face was grim, but he ignored the advisor's remarks. With only a minute, he had to act quickly. Just then, Qin Ming returned from the medical center with news that a healer was available.
Yu Xiaogang immediately had Qin Ming take Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng to the medics. As he passed Tang San, he whispered, "Xiao San, go all out—this is your chance!"
Anyone overhearing this remark might have been puzzled. What did he mean by going all out? Tang San's Blue Silver Grass had already proven ineffective, and his fourth spirit ability was useless—wasn't he already trying his hardest?
And what did he mean by "this is your chance"? Given their current situation, surrender seemed the more sensible choice.
But Tang San understood his teacher's hint perfectly: he was to unleash his second spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer! Blazing Academy's fire energy was potent, presenting a rare opportunity for Blue Silver Grass to strengthen its fire resistance through absorption.
Tang San was more than willing. If he could rapidly boost his Blue Silver Grass's fire resistance, it would save him time and help him attain his goal of reaching Rank 50 and advancing with his father to the Blue Silver Emperor's ancestral grounds to acquire his fifth spirit ring.
