Bab 420: Tool Spirit Avatar, Deep Gold Clear Sky Hammer (2)
Grandmaster looked towards Tang San,
"The difficulty isn't absolute. You begin cultivating now. I will carefully figure out the tactics here. Little San, come with me, I want to talk to you alone."
"Yes, Teacher."
Tang San's spirit power was already somewhat recovered, and he followed Grandmaster from the room.
The others didn't know what Tang San and Grandmaster were going to talk about, but they all knew that in tomorrow's match, Tang San would undoubtedly be the key.
But they also knew that as the strongest of the Shrek Seven Devils, having changed the most, he had long ago become the opponents' target. Could he display his true strength when facing three Spirit Kings?
Grandmaster brought Tang San to another room.
"Little San, you can't use the seven fusion ability in the match tomorrow. Tell me your thoughts."
Grandmaster calmly said.
Tang San nodded,
"I understand what you mean. The seven fusion ability was already revealed today, it will definitely be their target tomorrow. With that spirit fusion ability of Xie Yue and Hu Liena's, they can definitely block the force of our fusion ability for a while, then as long as the other five break our formation, we will undoubtedly lose. But this can also be used against them, the victory rate is fifty percent or so. The other part is breaking that pair's spirit fusion ability, making them lose fighting strength, and afterwards focusing the strength of seven on the remaining five."
"Eh?"
Grandmaster somewhat shocked looked at Tang San,
"You have a way to break that spirit fusion ability? You must know that a spirit fusion ability isn't a fusion ability. If it's completed, it will have practically no gaps, and will moreover have enormous strength. As you say, when the spirit fusion ability is completed, the combined fighting strength of those two will reach the seventieth rank or so."
Tang San's eyes revealed a resolute light, both fists tightening,
"Them, leave them to me. As long as Mubai and the others give me enough time, I believe I can do it."
Tang San and Grandmaster stayed in the room discussing for a full four hours. Only they knew what they talked about.
...
Supreme Pontiff Palace, official business hall.
Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong sat in the main seat, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo on either side of her. In front of them stood those seven competing team members representing Spirit Hall Academy.
Xie Yue, Yan, and Hu Liena stood furthest in front.
"Did you understand what I said just now?"
Bibi Dong said calmly.
"Understood, Your Holiness Supreme Pontiff."
Despite being Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, Xie Yue's trio still answered very respectfully.
Bibi Dong said coldly:
"It will inevitably be impossible for Tang San to use the Tool Spirit Avatar from today again tomorrow. He has twin spirits. If he's forced to use it again, even if he doesn't die, he will still never become a threat to us again. Therefore, you don't need to worry about this aspect. You only need to pay attention to their seven fusion ability. Destroy it using the method I described just now. In a fight of true strength, it's basically impossible for them to be your opponents."
"Yes."
Ghost Douluo Gui Mei's somewhat gloomy voice echoed from the Supreme Pontiff's side,
"You should know what this tournament signifies. Not only is it your chance to make a name for yourselves, it also decides where three spirit bones belong. With Spirit Hall being the organizers, if you lose, it will be impossible to regain these three spirit bones under the eye of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's people and those high level Spirit Masters. This is your reward, and at the same time it's your pressure. If you lose, I will take you all to experience three years in the Disorienting Grand Canyon."
Hearing the words 'Disorienting Grand Canyon', Xue Yue and the others shivered practically simultaneously. Their gazes instantly turned even more resolute. Perhaps only ghosts could survive in that sinister place. In three years, perhaps they would really become ghosts.
"Fine, you go rest."
Bibi Dong waved a hand, and Xie Yue and the others hastily left the hall from a side door.
Raising a hand to rhythmically tap the desk in front of her, Bibi Dong's eyes revealed a pondering light.
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan said:
"Your Holiness, what's there to worry about? Even if they held the advantage today, the scales of victory are still leaning towards our side."
Sighing lightly, the Supreme Pontiff said:
"I'm not worried about the Shrek Seven Devils. Even though those seven little children are monstrously talented, they are after all still young. Their potential still hasn't completely emerged. Apart from Tang San, the others won't be any trouble in the future. The variable that worries me is Grandmaster. When I knew him many years ago, I have never seen the like of his intelligence and wisdom again. Even though his spirit is unable to cultivate to a higher level because of variation, this person's intelligence is frightening. What I can think of, he can definitely think of as well. You saw that seven fusion ability of differently attributed Spirit Masters today. I at least am unable to propose that kind of formation. What worries me is that he will raise some other kind of formation tomorrow, increasing the variables."
A cold light flashed in Ghost Douluo's mirage,
"It would be better to let me go kill him. Even if the Poison Douluo is with the Shrek Academy, I still have an eighty percent chance of successfully killing him in one strike."
The Supreme Pontiff snorted coldly,
"If you had that kind of certainty, Tang San wouldn't have arrived here alive. Gui Mei, have you forgotten of teacher instructed you in those days? Even the lion must use its full strength when fighting the rabbit. Underestimating the enemy is the greatest fear of the strategist."
"Yes, Your Holiness."
The Supreme Pontiff continued:
"Grandmaster holds the warrant of a Spirit Hall elder, we can't act against him. Even more, this is Spirit City. Casually killing people in Spirit City, and one of our Spirit Hall elders at that, how couldn't the status of Spirit Hall greatly drop in the eyes of all Spirit Masters? To say nothing of Grandmaster still having a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan behind him. Even if he's already left the clan, he is after all still a directly related member. Remember, without my express order, nobody is allowed to act against him hereafter."
"It's late, you go rest. I want to consider it properly."
The light in her eyes dimming somewhat, Bibi Dong waved her hand.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo left quietly, leaving Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong alone in the official business hall.
Sitting there expressionlessly, the light in Bibi Dong's eyes began to turn complicated, muttering to herself,
"Oh, Xiao Gang, you still astonish me. Could it be that it really was teacher that broke us up back them? In our lives, perhaps we truly are destined to meet but fated to never be together. All I can do is protect your safety. As for the others, I can't spare any attention..."
...
An eventless night.
Very early the next day, the Shrek Seven Devils already appeared at the gate of their residence, trembling with excitement.
After breakfast, seven people stood in front of Grandmaster with lively spirits and excessive energy.
Tang San specially ate two Dragon Zoysia leaves before cultivating last night, and by now his Mysterious Heaven Skill internal energy was already completely recovered.
Grandmaster's gaze swept across the seven,
"Follow the plan in the match. Try your utmost, and if you can't do it, put your own safety first."
"Yes."
"Then good, depart."
Grandmaster swung his hand to everyone.
At this moment, a voice suddenly blocked them,
"Wait a moment."
Grandmaster looked distracted, gazing in the direction of that voice,
"Flender, you still have something to add?"
Today, Flender's expression was extraordinarily grave.
Ever since the Shrek Seven Devils had let him earn enough profit to fill both pots and jars in this tournament, he'd always had a smile on his face. But right now his smile was gone.
Walking in front of the devils, he first arranged the lapels of Dai Mubai who stood in front, afterwards turning to all seven:
"Children. For you, this the final fight of your graduation. Honestly, to have fostered talents like you, I feel very fortunate. And also extremely proud. There is no lack of banquets under Heaven, Shrek Academy is unable to always help you grow. Your future path, is all up to you to walk by yourselves."
"I said before that I won't let you graduate unless you were the final champions. That's just a joke, no need to take it seriously. What I want to tell you right now is that, no matter the outcome, you are all my pride, and also all my children. I won't let any one of you become casualties in the last moment of the tournament. The championship isn't important. What's important, is you yourselves. I don't want a victorious result, but rather your safe return. Well, I've said enough."
Ma Hongjun said:
"Teacher, how come your eyes are red?"
"Ah? It's dust."
Flender immediately turned around. Grandmaster was the director of the Shrek Academy team, but as dean, he had clearly seen the effort these children had made each day. Of course he knew that the great effort of the Shrek Seven Devils in this tournament wasn't all to temper themselves, but even more to bring this great glory to Shrek Academy before graduating.
Just like he said, each of the Shrek Seven Devils was like his own child. Before these ultimate finals, on the verge of confronting that kind of power, Flender couldn't keep from expressing his true feelings.
In his heart, money was admittedly important, but no amount of gold could be exchanged for these seven little monsters in front of him.
Tang San smiled faintly,
"Dean Flender, others would hold a pep talk for the competing students, but aren't you making us feel discouraged? Don't worry. We'd all hate to die. Even more, there's still those three spirit bones to make us drool with desire."
