Capítulo 136: The Battle Begins
As soon as five spirit rings appeared, gasps erupted across the arena. Even the powerful and seemingly invincible Spirit Hall members couldn't remain calm.
A Spirit King at only sixteen or seventeen years old was rare, but not unprecedented. However, this young man was entirely different. Among his five spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, black, black—there were two ten-thousand-year rings. Such a phenomenon was unheard of and likely never to be seen again.
The royal academies of Star Luo were in an uproar. In previous tournaments, no one had heard of this team. No one expected the seemingly average Shrek Academy to produce such a genius.
Ning Rongrong made her debut, showcasing her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, yet she was overshadowed by Chen Xuan's brilliance, rendering the noble sect princess almost invisible.
The seven members of the Star Luo Team looked extremely grim. Some were terrified, others hesitant, and a few seemed ready to retreat. Their morale was clearly not as strong as before.
After all, they were up against a Spirit King, a Level 51 powerhouse with two ten-thousand-year spirit rings. What could a group of Spirit Ancestors possibly do against that?
Only Davis and Zhu Zhuyun remained unwavering, standing at the forefront. The two exchanged glances but stayed silent, refraining from their earlier provocations. Their previous confidence had clearly waned.
Seeing the Star Luo Team's morale crumble, the audience was disheartened. Su Yuntao, following orders, stepped forward and spoke loudly:
"We see a Spirit King competitor on the field. There's no denying that Shrek Academy is the dark horse of this year's finals. However, this Spirit King might not be the decisive factor. According to the information provided by the Heaven Dou Empire, Chen Xuan is merely a support-type Spirit Master."
Su Yuntao glanced at the documents in his hand, shaking his head slightly, and continued: "As we all know, support-type Spirit Masters cultivate more slowly than battle-type Spirit Masters. For this competitor to reach Spirit King level at such a young age, he is undoubtedly the first of his kind on the continent."
"Support-type Spirit Master?" Hearing this, the competitors from Star Luo Empire visibly relaxed.
A support-type with two ten-thousand-year spirit rings was undoubtedly a monster, but they were still within fighting range. After all, the Star Luo Team had a stronger overall strength than Shrek Academy.
Within the Star Luo Team, teammate Li Yang, whose martial spirit was a mirror, had reached Spirit Power Level 44. The other two battle-type Spirit Masters were at Levels 43 and 44, far surpassing Dai Mubai's level.
Meanwhile, participants from Heaven Dou Academy, New Divine Wind Academy, Thunderclap Academy, Tianshui Academy, and other beast academies exchanged puzzled glances.
The Tianshui girls, in particular, were visibly dissatisfied. If Chen Xuan was a support-type Spirit Master, then the standards for battle-type Spirit Masters on the continent needed a complete overhaul.
"When did he become a support-type Spirit Master?" Feng Xiaotian covered his face, smiling bitterly. He was at a loss for words.
He held Chen Xuan in high regard, considering him equal to Tang San. Now, with Chen Xuan's breakthrough to Spirit King and acquisition of two ten-thousand-year rings, he had undoubtedly surpassed Tang San.
Yu Tianxin rubbed his forehead, speechless, and speculated: "During the qualifiers, Shrek probably submitted their data like this, and Spirit Hall must have reused it without updating."
…
Davis suppressed his agitation and quickly calmed himself. Exchanging a glance with Zhu Zhuyun, he said, "You take care of Zhu Zhuqing; I'll deal with this Chen Xuan."
Chen Xuan was stunned, his expression filled with surprise. What was going on? Did he hear that correctly?
Separated by thirty meters, the Spirit Masters could hear the conversation word for word with their sharp senses.
Zhu Zhuyun smiled faintly, sauntering to a corner of the arena with feline grace. It seemed she had the same idea.
"Well, dear sister, let me see what you've accomplished over these years," she said.
Zhu Zhuqing remained cold and aloof, instantly entering her martial spirit state. Her spirit energy flowed, creating a faint, ethereal glow.
Swish!
She stepped forward with lightning speed, appearing like a purple streak as she closed the gap with Zhu Zhuyun in the blink of an eye.
The two clashed. Their martial spirits were identical, their spirit power comparable, and even their first two spirit abilities were the same.
Interestingly, the rest of Shrek and Star Luo remained stationary, watching without intervening.
"You want to fight me first?" Chen Xuan asked incredulously. "Shouldn't you challenge Dai Mubai?"
Davis snorted coldly. "He's not qualified to be my opponent. You are. Shall we settle this?"
Hearing this, Dai Mubai's face darkened. Being publicly insulted was unbearable for someone as proud and arrogant as he was.
"Davis! How dare you look down on me? You'll pay for this!" Dai Mubai roared, his evil eyes cold and his body radiating a golden glow. His muscles swelled, his hands transforming into razor-sharp claws over a foot long, gleaming with a metallic luster capable of cutting through stone.
He activated the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, boosting his strength and defense, and charged forward with his claws aimed at Davis's throat.
However, a man in purple stepped forward, blocking Dai Mubai's path.
"Playboy, if you want to challenge our captain, you'll have to get through me first," said Xing Luo teammate Ying Wei as he extended a hand.
Standing 1.95 meters tall, with a body full of muscles radiating explosive power, Ying Wei exuded confidence. As he moved, his spirit energy surged, manifesting into a massive jet-black buffalo.
Bang!
The buffalo stomped its front hooves, creating a sonic boom. Dai Mubai spat blood, his eyes wide with disbelief. The overwhelming force, filled with violent spirit energy, surged through his claws into his body, leaving him shaken.
Crack!
Dai Mubai groaned as cracks appeared on his tiger claws. They shattered with a loud bang, dissolving into fragments of spirit energy.
"Wasting your time on indulgence, neglecting cultivation—you're truly trash. You couldn't even withstand my second spirit ability," Ying Wei sneered, folding his arms and shaking his head in disappointment.
He spat disdainfully. "Our playboy prince is as useless as ever, only chasing after beauty. I bet you haven't trained seriously once since leaving home."
"Rubbish! You only beat me because your spirit power is higher!" Dai Mubai growled, wiping the blood from his mouth.
Davis's evil eyes gleamed as he focused entirely on Chen Xuan. To him, Chen Xuan was the greatest threat in Shrek's lineup.
A support-type Spirit Master? Did they think he was an idiot? The overflowing vitality, robust blood energy, and surging spirit power all revealed Chen Xuan's true strength. What kind of support-type Spirit Master possessed such characteristics?
"Chen Xuan, was it? Do you dare face me in a fair duel?" Davis asked, his golden eyes gleaming with battle intent.
Chen Xuan hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Alright. I've been curious to see if the Evil-Eyed White Tiger lives up to its reputation."
