Chapitre 374: Fusion of Spirit Ability and Tang Sect Secret Techniques (1)
The concentrated yellow specks of lights instantaneously rushed into the golden red light radiating from Xiao Wu, what surprised both parties was that once the yellow lights entered the light protecting Xiao Wu, they disappeared like moths flying into a flame.
Not only did it not have the slightest effect, instead it even strengthened the light surrounding Xiao Wu, increasing its thickness from the original three cun to slightly more than one chi, instantly wiping out the lights that were attacking her.
At the same moment, an extremely unusual aura was suddenly released from Xiao Wu's body, suddenly expanding the golden red light. Although the light got dimmer the further the distance, it still easily covered the opponent.
The referee was also encompassed within the light and he did not feel anything weird. however, it was a different story for Xiao Wu's opponent. Within the golden red light, he felt as though he was fighting against a Title Doulou.
All his spirit power instantly lost its effect, and the sunflower in his hand quietly withered in the light.
Xiao Wu was also shocked as the situation became one where she no longer needed to do anything. Along with the withering of the opponent's sunflower, the warm flow within her body also gradually disappeared. In a short moment, it completely disappeared and the dazzling bright golden red radiance faded away.
The match started normal but ended weirdly. Compared to the explosive first match, this one gave people an even more unbelievable feeling. Xiao Wu who was only a Spirit Elder managed to defeat two Spirit Ancestors. This result shocked everyone present. Just as Xiao Wu was dazed, Tang San's soft voice rang in her ears,
"No matter who asks, just reply that you do not know why the golden red glow appeared. Keep silent and maintain a sense of mystery. Leave the rest to me."
At the same time, there was also a discussion going on in the VIP seats. Emperor Xue Ye looked towards Ning Fengzhi with astonishment, but Ning Fengzhi shook his head, indicating that he didn't know what the golden red glow was.
Platinum Bishop Salas however, spoke,
"I didn't expect Shrek Academy to actually still have someone who owns a spirit bone. This should be their hidden strength."
Spirit bone?
Emperor Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi both revealed looks of agreement. From their perspective, that was the best explanation. Xiao Wu didn't take out any spirit tool, and that golden red glow was obviously not an ability that a spirit tool should have. It would be most reasonable to think that that was a spirit bone ability.
Emperor Xue Ye took a deep breath.
"However, that spirit bone ability seems rather too strong. It made the opponent's spirit wither instantly. If looking purely at spirit power, this student from Balak Academy seems to be more seriously injured than the previous one."
Ning Fengzhi smiled faintly.
"Your majesty might not be aware, but if I guess correctly, this ability of Xiao Wu's has a specific target, it does not work on every spirit. Maybe, only plant type spirits will be countered by it, perhaps the range might be even narrower."
As the Seven Glazed Tile School master and the world's number one support type Spirit Master, Ning Fengzhi's knowledge was obviously bountiful. If the golden red glow Xiao Wu released worked on any spirit, wouldn't that be unequalled under Heaven?
In this rare moment, Salas did not argue with Ning Fengzhi and said:
"I agree with School Master Ning. This should be an extremely normal spirit bone that only happened to coincide with the situation and was used to great effect. That doesn't mean anything."
The referee was naturally suspicious about the golden red glow that radiated from Xiao Wu and asked her about it. But Xiao Wu wouldn't say anything. Having no other solutions, the referee could only pass the judgment to the judging committee.
By now, Emperor Xue Ye and the other two had already made their decision. From their perspective, it was perfectly normal for Xiao Wu to not say anything. After all, who would want to admit that they own a spirit bone? The victory for this match was unquestionably awarded to Shrek Academy. Xiao Wu scored two consecutive victories.
The competition continued and making Shrek Academy not know whether to laugh or cry was that the later students sent out by Balak Academy were obviously unable to be compared to the first two. Xiao Wu successively defeated another three people before leaving the stage due to exhaustion of spirit power.
The few Balak Academy students who later competed did not include any Spirit Ancestor above the fortieth rank.
Xiao Wu's perfect performance undoubtedly overshadowed every person who appeared in the previous two matches. Her five consecutive wins also made her rank the highest in terms of individual performance.
Xiao Wu left the stage and was replaced by Tang San. Just as Balak Academy was about to feel relieved by Xiao Wu leaving the stage, they were once again frozen as Tang San released his spirit.
Yellow, yellow, purple and black. Four spirit rings appeared at the same time. Despite being not conspicuous, the black spirit ring's deep glow made the last two members of Balak Academy completely lose their fighting spirit.
Tang San did not even have to take any action and Balak Academy automatically admitted defeat. After all, the competition has only begun and the earlier conflict raised the tension between the two academies. The teacher from Balak Academy did not wish to have insufficient members in the matches tomorrow.
Shrek Academy also settled their match by sending only two members but from the way the matches played out, their performance was a cut better than Blazing Academy. Because of the that, Huo Wu sharpened her gaze at Tang San.
After eating two recovery sausages, Xiao Wu's spirit power gradually recovered, she practically could not stop herself from pulling Tang San who returned to one side and asked:
"Ge, what was with that glow from my body earlier? Did you know about it?"
If Tang San did not know, why would he warn her?
Tang San faintly smiled and nodded while whispering in her ears what he concluded earlier. Xiao Wu, upon realization, reach out her hands and touched the Yearning Heartbroken Red that was always placed at her chest, indeed, the warm flow earlier had flowed into her body from this position.
The first round of promotional matches ended perfectly for Shrek Academy, only Xiao Wu revealed her true strength while completely settling the match.
Excluding the Four Element Academies, the other academies would at the most only know that Shrek Academy had a monster with a ten-thousand year spirit ring.
In the later matches, the other three academies from Heaven Dou City also achieved victory. The result of five academies from Heaven Dou City being victorious made Emperor Xue Ye very satisfied. He immediately announced that all academies that were victorious would be awarded with one thousand gold spirit coins while academies that lost were still awarded with five hundred golden spirit coins.
When the first day of matches were over, the dean from each academy went up on stage to draw lots, Shrek Academy's luck was not very good. For their match on the second day, the opponent they drew was Blazing Academy which performed very well in the first match.
Although it was a round robin system where every academy would eventually fight each other, the fact that they would face Blazing Academy this early created ripples in the minds of members from both academies.
Returning to their camp, Xiao Wu herself returned to her room to rest as there was still a match tomorrow. She had expended quite a lot of spirit power today and had to recover as quickly as possible. Jiang Zhu accompanied her as her spirit could increase Xiao Wu's recovery rate.
Grandmaster gathered the members of Shrek Academy and asked straight to the point:
"Your opponent tomorrow is Blazing Academy, in your opinion, what kind of line up should you be battling them with?"
As the captain, Dai Mubai was the first to reply:
"Grandmaster, although Blazing Academy's strength is abnormal, they are actually one of the weakest among the Four Elemental Academies. Only the Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu siblings are stronger, the other members will find it difficult to threaten us. Given the situation in today's matches, at least one of the Huo Wu Shuang and Huo Wu siblings would go first to get as many victories as possible. The rest of the members will then aim to deplete our spirit power. Why not let me go first tomorrow and little San cover the rear. This will ensure our victory."
Grandmaster said:
"Mubai isn't wrong. However, there is something I should remind you all. The qualifiers were the qualifiers after all, even now in the promotion matches, each team might still not be using their full strength. It's not only us who are hiding our true strength, others will also use the same plan. The Shrek Seven Devils contain two support spirit masters, the others' strength are relatively balanced. Tang San and Mubai are slightly ahead. In this competition, you are not only here to win, the more important thing is to train. Train your strength and mentality. What you can think of, your opponents will naturally also be able to. Today, what I want to teach you all is to surprise your opponents. Revealing a hand that defies common sense will make it easier to break your opponent's tempo. Therefore, for tomorrow's battle, little San will go first, followed by Ma Hong Jun, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu and Mubai."
Similar to today's match against Balak Academy when Grandmaster announced three names, he had only announced five names. Evidently, this was the line up that he believed was sufficient to achieve victory.
Among the five, only Ma Hong Jun has not appeared on stage before, Grandmaster had his purpose for sending him out now this time. Ma Hong Jun hadn't been sent out before since the mission he was given by Grandmaster was to train.
Letting him take part in real battles now was in order to let him fight against opponents from other academies and find the tempo of the competition now rather than during the finals.
As for Oscar and Ning Rongrong, both were support type spirit masters, they would be fine as long as they were compatible with their teammates. They would stay hidden. Promotion matches were still not for them to participate in.
...
A quiet night.
The tempo of the promotion matches was faster than the qualifiers, without common spectators, only the competition results were desired. Having removed the complicated processes and the noisy audience, it allowed spirit Masters to bring out their true strength more easily.
