Chapitre 192: Chapter 192: Shrek vs. Kuang Zhan Team – A Crushing Victory!
Master's eyes brightened when he heard Su Ming's idea. "Alright, if you can really finish the match in under a minute, you'll have a day off tomorrow, no problem!"
Yu Xiaogang was also curious to see if Xiao Wu alone, a Soul Elder, could truly defeat the powerful Kuang Zhan team in just one minute.
The others were thrilled by the idea of a day off. Tang San thought for a moment and said, "If we want to end the fight in under a minute, we'll have to use extreme measures."
"Once we're on stage, Rongrong will give us all a power boost. Then, I'll immediately use Blue Silver Grass to control them for a few seconds. That's when Xiao Wu will unleash her Rankyaku (Vacuum Blade), and Dai Mubai will follow up with a ranged attack. The goal is to overwhelm them before they can react."
"But Xiao Wu's Rankyaku is powerful. Su Ming, you'll need to be ready with your healing so the Kuang Zhan members don't die. That could cause complications."
Tang San laid out his strategy, and Su Ming agreed. It was a straightforward plan: control the enemy right from the start, hit hard, and force them off the stage quickly.
However, Su Ming had one question. "Tang San, are you sure you can control all seven of them at once?"
Tang San, a bit embarrassed, admitted, "Well… not exactly. My Blue Silver Grass can't grow fast enough to trap that many. But I can focus on the two main threats: the giant Kuang Xi and the Spider Woman. If we can take them out early, the rest will fall."
The group discussed the Kuang Zhan team's spirit abilities and weapons in more detail, ensuring they would be fully prepared for the match.
Finally, it was time for their team fight.
On the stage, Kuang Xi couldn't help but feel a tinge of fear looking at Su Ming. He was relieved that Su Ming wouldn't be attacking directly in the fight. Meanwhile, the Spider Woman tried to flirt with Dai Mubai, but he and Su Ming ignored her completely. Dai Mubai was used to seeing beautiful women and wasn't interested in someone with such heavy makeup. Su Ming, on the other hand, simply found her unattractive.
That didn't stop certain other members of the team, though—namely a certain fat guy, who was practically drooling. Unfortunately for him, his internal fire wasn't igniting the way it used to.
The arena was much larger for team battles than it was for one-on-one or two-on-two fights, with a diameter of 40 meters. When Kuang Zhan stepped onto the stage, the crowd erupted in cheers:
"Shred them! Kill them!"
The audience was wildly shouting for Kuang Zhan to destroy the Shrek team, but the Shrek members remained calm, focused on the plan they'd discussed to end the fight in under a minute.
The Kuang Zhan members, unlike before, weren't getting riled up by the crowd. They had serious looks on their faces. They knew this match was a tough one to win.
The arena supervisor had given both teams each other's basic info beforehand, so they could form strategies. The announcer, who was the same Ao supervisor from earlier, stood in the middle of the arena and called out, "For the final match, it's Shrek versus Kuang Zhan!"
The audience roared louder as he continued, "Kuang Zhan has won seven consecutive matches! If they win today, they could break the record for the fastest ascent to the Copper Soul team!"
"But today, they face the newly registered Shrek team. This team is immensely powerful, with two Soul Elders and five Soul Exalts. Because the arena doesn't have any Soul Elder teams available, both teams have agreed to certain terms."
"One of Shrek's Soul Elders will not be attacking. If Kuang Zhan wins, they will immediately be promoted to the Copper Soul rank!"
The crowd was briefly stunned to hear about the Soul Elder opponents, but soon enough, they erupted into louder cheers:
"Kuang Zhan! Kuang Zhan! Shred them!"
"Shrek! Shrek! Crush them!"
Both teams took their positions on the stage. Kuang Zhan's formation had Kuang Xi at the front, flanked by two grim-looking men, forming a triangle. The Spider Woman stood in the center, still smiling seductively. Two skinny youths guarded the flanks, and the support stood at the rear.
Shrek's formation was as they'd planned: a 3-1-1-2 lineup. Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu stood in front, followed by Tang San, Su Ming, Ning Rongrong, and Oscar in the back. Rongrong and Oscar stayed close to Su Ming for protection.
The large screen overhead displayed both teams' information. The audience, already familiar with Kuang Zhan, focused on Shrek.
Captain: "True Thousand Hands," Level 44, Auxiliary Spirit Master, Spirit: Wood ElementMember: "Soft Bone Enchantress," Level 42, Assault Spirit Master, Spirit: Soft Bone RabbitMember: "Evil-Eyed White Tiger," Level 37, Assault Spirit Master, Spirit: White TigerMember: "Netherworld Spirit Cat," Level 36, Agility Spirit Master, Spirit: Netherworld Spirit CatMember: "Thousand Hands Asura," Level 34, Control Spirit Master, Spirit: Blue Silver GrassMember: "Seven Treasures Glazed," Level 35, Auxiliary Spirit Master, Spirit: Seven Treasures Glazed Tile PagodaMember: "Sausage Specialist," Level 31, Food Spirit Master, Spirit: Sausage
The audience gasped at the sight of such powerful individuals. Kuang Zhan was in for a tough fight.
The countdown began: "Five, four, three, two, one. Begin!"
Dai Mubai roared, "Brothers, release your spirits!"
The stage erupted with energy as the spirits of both teams manifested, a truly spectacular display.
Tang San, calm and focused, said, "Let's finish this in one minute."
Ning Rongrong raised her Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, casting her boosts: "First is strength! Second is speed! Third is spirit power!"
The buffs surged into Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai, and Tang San. Tang San quickly targeted Kuang Xi and the Spider Woman with his Blue Silver Grass.
"First Spirit Skill, Blue Silver Entanglement. Second Spirit Skill, Parasite!"
Kuang Xi barked, "Double Ram, help the Spider Woman!"
But as he charged at Tang San, a smile appeared on Tang San's face: "Third Spirit Skill, Spider Web Binding!"
In an instant, Kuang Xi was trapped too.
"Now, brothers!" Tang San shouted.
From the back, Su Ming reminded them, "Take out their main attackers and controllers fast, before their support can cast the berserk skill!"
Xiao Wu acknowledged the cue and teleported into the air, firing multiple Rankyaku vacuum slashes at the Spider Woman. Su Ming prepared his fourth spirit skill, ready to heal the Spider Woman enough to prevent her from dying.
Dai Mubai wasn't wasting time either.
"Third Spirit Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation!" His power surged as he became even stronger.
"Second Spirit Skill, White Tiger Light Wave!" A powerful white beam shot from Dai Mubai's mouth, aimed straight at Kuang Xi. Tangled in Tang San's web, Kuang Xi had no chance to dodge and was sent flying into his teammates, crashing them all into the ground. The Spider Woman was crushed beneath the pile.
Xiao Wu didn't hold back, launching more Rankyaku attacks at the fallen enemies, while Su Ming provided minimal healing to ensure they wouldn't die.
Within moments, it was all over. The arena was filled with silence as the audience witnessed the utter destruction of Kuang Zhan. Xiao Wu's control over her power ensured the enemy wasn't killed, but they were undeniably battered and broken.
Kuang Xi, now bloodied and weak, staggered to his feet, the only one still conscious. In a trembling voice, he conceded, "We… surrender."
The crowd, who had been roaring minutes earlier, was now stunned into silence. The brutal, undefeated Kuang Zhan team had been obliterated in under a minute.
Ao, the supervisor, was equally shocked. He hadn't expected the Shrek team to win so effortlessly. He'd never seen a match end this quickly.
Shrek had not only won; they had set a new record.
Finally, Ao collected himself and declared, "This match is over! The Shrek team is victorious!"
The crowd, after a brief silence, erupted into cheers, chanting Shrek's name. Many who had bet on Kuang Zhan now found themselves new fans of the Shrek team. They recognized that Shrek would dominate the arena, and many were eager to bet on them in the future.
Not only had Shrek gained a resounding victory, but they had also won over the hearts of the audience.
As he spoke, there was a hint of frustration and bitterness in his heart. The Kuang Zhan team had been one of the strongest in the arena, with each member at or above level 35, yet they had been defeated with such ease. This defeat would be a huge loss for the Great Spirit Arena.
After a brief moment of silence, the audience suddenly erupted. Most of the spectators stood up and began to chant, "Shrek! Shrek!"
In an instant, many of them had become Shrek team fans, despite most of them having bet on Kuang Zhan to win.
But this didn't stop them from switching allegiance. Not only had Shrek displayed overwhelming strength, but the crowd also realized that, within the spirit teams of Soto City, there was likely no team capable of challenging Shrek. This meant there was money to be made by betting on them in the future!
Releasing their excitement and anticipating future earnings, the audience had every reason to support the Shrek team!
Chapitre 193: Chapter 193: The Spirit Battle Ends, Xiao Wu Wants to Take Action!
After the spirit battle ended, the Shrek team went to the front desk to claim their reward and leave. However, the receptionist stopped them, saying, "Excuse me, our supervisor Ao would like to meet with you."
Yu Xiaogang thought for a moment and agreed. "Alright, let's meet him."
In the Rest Area
The room was empty, with only Supervisor Ao waiting for them. Seeing the Shrek team arrive, Ao greeted them, "Congratulations on your victory, Shrek team!"
Yu Xiaogang waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Supervisor Ao, just get to the point. It's getting late."
Not wanting to beat around the bush, Ao smiled wryly. "Master, I wanted to ask if your team will be participating in the team battle again tomorrow?"
Yu Xiaogang raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
Ao, with a bitter smile, replied, "To be honest, the Kuang Zhan team is one of the stronger teams in our arena. Otherwise, they wouldn't have won seven consecutive matches."
"What I'm trying to say is, if your team isn't going to compete tomorrow, I can request from my superiors to bring in a few Soul Ancestor-level teams from other spirit arenas. I just wanted to check with you first."
Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up. This was a great idea. Although he was pleased that the Shrek team had finished the battle within a minute, he also had concerns. The whole point of them coming to the spirit arena was for practical training and to gain experience. If every battle ended this easily, then there would be no challenge or growth.
He said, "If you're able to bring Soul Ancestor-level teams, I have no objections. But I do have one condition."
Ao immediately asked, "What condition?"
He was worried that Shrek might refuse, as they were strong and this was a money-making opportunity.
Yu Xiaogang replied sternly, "For the next seven days, the Shrek team won't be coming back for team battles."
"But, my condition is that every team you bring in must have all members at the Soul Ancestor level, and the stronger they are, the better."
Ao was surprised by Yu Xiaogang's condition. Was this really a condition? Obviously, if they didn't want to lose money, they'd bring in strong Soul Ancestor teams.
Nonetheless, Ao asked, "Master, may I ask why you're making such a request? After all, your team only has two Soul Ancestors. Even though 'True Thousand Hands' is powerful, there's no way you can defeat a full team of Soul Ancestors."
Yu Xiaogang confidently responded, "I have faith in them. Our purpose here is to experience battles under pressure. Honestly, I wasn't satisfied with tonight's fight. Kuang Zhan team was too weak."
Ao didn't expect the master to be thinking this way. He had thought the Shrek team was just here to make money, but now he felt a deep respect for them.
Flender, standing nearby, wanted to say something but realized it didn't matter much. Whether the students won or lost, he would still make money. He grinned to himself.
Su Ming found Yu Xiaogang's arrangement reasonable. Even if the opponents were all Soul Ancestors, it would still be easy to win.
However, Tang San and the others looked a bit worried. Could they really defeat an entire team of Soul Ancestors?
They doubted whether Su Ming and Xiao Wu alone could handle such opponents.
Tang San thought to himself, "This will require exceptional teamwork to succeed. The pressure is immense!"
Su Ming silently thought, "You think your fragile Blue Silver Grass can hold off a team of Soul Ancestors? Consider yourself lucky if you can control them for a second!"
After finalizing everything with Ao, Yu Xiaogang led the Shrek team back to their hotel.
In Tang San's Room
Flender questioned Yu Xiaogang, "Xiaogang, sending these kids to face a full team of Soul Ancestors—what are you thinking?"
Yu Xiaogang calmly replied, "If they're monsters, they need to undergo monster-level training. That kind of fight will put enough pressure on them."
"Besides, do you really think it's easy to find a full team of Soul Ancestors? If Ao can manage to bring in five Soul Ancestors within seven days, I'd be impressed."
Turning to Su Ming and Tang San, Yu Xiaogang said, "Su Ming, within these seven days, make sure to teach Rongrong the Lingbo Weibu technique. She needs that to protect herself in future battles so you can focus on fighting."
"And Tang San, even though you said Oscar can't learn the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track without practicing the Mysterious Heaven Skill, you should still give it a try."
Both Su Ming and Tang San nodded, but their thoughts were different.
Yu Xiaogang was hoping that Ning Rongrong could master Lingbo Weibu. His gaze held a certain fire when looking at Su Ming. If Rongrong successfully learned the technique, perhaps Su Ming could teach it to the entire team. If everyone mastered such a dodging technique, they could hold their own even against stronger opponents.
In addition, Yu Xiaogang was personally very envious of such a technique.
After the discussion, the team decided to stay at the hotel for the night and return to the academy the following day.
Later, as everyone returned to their rooms, Ning Rongrong snuck out, only to run into Xiao Wu.
"Hey, Xiao Wu, what are you doing out here?" Rongrong asked.
Caught off guard, Xiao Wu tried to maintain her composure. "I was just thinking that Su Ming hasn't eaten much tonight, so I wanted to ask him to go out for some food in the city."
Rongrong wrapped her arm around Xiao Wu's and said, "Let's go together, then! I should be the one treating him since he helped teach me Lingbo Weibu today. Plus, I haven't eaten either. My stomach is growling!"
Xiao Wu had no choice but to agree. She had planned to take Su Ming out for food and... well, spend the night with him. After all, their first time together had been unforgettable, and tonight seemed like a perfect opportunity.
Knock, knock, knock...
Su Ming was puzzled. Who could be knocking this late? Was it Xiao Wu?
Then he remembered that Rongrong had planned to treat him to dinner tonight. Could it be...?
When he opened the door, he was surprised to see both Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong standing there. His guess had been spot on!
With a smile, Ning Rongrong softly said, "Su Ming, let's go grab something to eat in the city. It's late, but I'm sure we can find some late-night snacks. My treat!"
