Bab 57: Team Maid and One-Sided Beatdown
Gu Yue with a hand wave sends a blast of wind which blasts out the last member of the Thunderclap Academy out of bounds.
[And Lei Dong is out of bounds! It's another Flawless Victory for Imperial Academy and its Heaven Team!] The commentator girl said that with a hyped tone. As she was excited to watch this one-sided beatdown!
While the Silver Dragon Girl quite simply ignored the commentator and looked at the VIP stands. Her eyes ended up on Xue Long who nodded at her with a smile.
Internally she sighed. She might have won. The girl still wants to know why each time she does anything she wants to look for his approval!
This makes her so pissed off at herself that she wants to bang her head into a wall!
Yet, she does this either way. Only making herself more annoyed.
'It's a human thing…it has to be a human thing! What I was thinking when I decided to become one!!! Grrrr,' The girl thought while biting her lower lip. She went towards her team.
The only one she cared about in this team was that Dugu girl. As someone who gets trained by Xue Long, it is worthy of her attention.
The rest… they don't mean much to her as someone who is an ex-Dragon God, she doesn't like all those humans.
"That was awesome Yue'er!" Hearing how Dugu Yan calls her makes her eyebrow twitch a little bit.
Though it pales in comparison to how annoyed she gets from all that hugging…
"...it was nothing much… they weren't that strong…" Gu Yue said that as she tried to remove herself from the hug she was receiving.
Thankfully it was a short one as the Heaven's team had to walk off the spirit Arena.
~~~
"So this is that Silver Dragon King girl I've been hearing rumours about." Bibi Dong said that with slightly narrowed eyes. She could see how many times this girl would look at Xue Long. It's like this girl is constantly asking for the Prince's attention.
The girl is extremely talented and the power she has over the elements is simply astounding.
"She is. She is the opposite of my Golden Dragon King. Like the other half."
"Oh…fascinating… it's like two of my Spider Martial Spirits."
Her words made Xue Long think for a few seconds.
"In a way, yes. Where my Golden Dragon King represents body strength and defence hers represent the elements one could wield, the energy manipulation."
The more Qian Renxue heard about this the more… She felt threatened by this girl. Never before did her Fiance explain about the Silver Dragon King girl in such detail!
Now after hearing all that she could say that this sounds far too a set-up for that girl to be with her Fiance! Something she can't allow to happen!
'Though… she is only a Peak Spirit Elder. Still too far away to be of concern to me.'
A part of her thought arrogantly. Even if this girl has a Spirit of the same level as Golden Dragon King, her evolved Seraphim, the Seraphiel is no way lesser. And besides, she has been training her meditation styles far longer than this girl…
Wait!? Does this girl even know meditation arts!?
'She not even a maid…'
If only Xue Long knew what his Fiance was thinking he would roll his eyes at her.
Same with the Supreme Pontiff… these two women are like predators flying around their 'prey' and not allowing anyone to get close.
"Fascinating. Are you planning to pay more attention to her training? Such talent should not be wasted by any chance." Bibi Dong asked him curiously. She wants to know what his thoughts are on her.
"I am. My head maid Na'er is training her with Spear to deal with her weakness at close range. Once he sorts that issue out I will be training her in other arts." The Prince's answer made the pair of ladies react in a certain way…
"Oh, I see."
That moment Gu Yue felt a threat to her life for just a few moments before it vanished altogether.
Her eyes turned around and she looked at the blonde angel girl and the purple-haired woman.
'Why do I sense killing intent from those two?' The Spirit Beast turned Human was confused, to say the least. Their actions made no sense to her whatsoever.
Well, for now, the match is done and she has a few hours to rest.
~~~~~~Later~~~~~~
Sure enough, it was time for the maid's team. By this point, the whole of Spirit Arena was packed to the brim. They all want to see what a seven-person team of maids can do.
After all, before this tournament the only time one could see more than one maid in a fight is the two-person team in Spirit Arena.
Even then those showcases ended quite quickly… as these maids were absent from the Spirit Arena. The only reason people could think is that the Prince was preparing the girls for this event specifically.
And they were not wrong as when the maids entered the arena people were shocked to see their Martial Spirits. Not a single one of them looked like a simple tool. Even the Broom maid which everyone knows had a Golden Blue Polearm. A beautiful Polearm.
"...This is…"
"Their Tool Spirits evolved after rigorous training and the perfect diet I prepared for them." Xue Long explained with quite a proud look on his face.
He was a satisfied trainer!
"...All of them?"
"All of them. You see martial spirits have a certain threshold of Spirit origin they can have. As they are exposed to the Heaven and Earth Energies, the Spirit origin grows, and once the limit is reached the Martial spirit or regular tool spirit like theirs… it would evolve. And evolve they did.
Even better I found out that the spirit would evolve towards what the wielder wants to. Like Ming'er broom. It evolved into a Polearm."
'A Shaolin Polearm' This part he said to himself. As he looked at the beautiful weapon. It's a high-class weapon indeed. And with It, Ming'er Deva Monk Martial Avatar is even stronger! In other words, there is a certain synergy between that Polearm and the Deva Monk Martial Avatar.
Making her Martial Arts even more powerful and tuned towards Shaolin-style, even Attribute is similar to Light purifying one.
He could guess that Ming'er purifying is suited the best for Rakshasa type of evil as Shaolin Deva art represents the opposite of it.
"Fascinating… Never before I saw a group of people who had their Martial Spirits evolve! Especially the regular tools ones!"
Internally Bibi Dong was very excited!
For one, because she is learning more about Martial Spirits! For two, because it's something she didn't know before! Like she heard about second awakenings of Martial Spirits! But, nothing about evolving towards what its wielder wants!
This was a new branch on a path which long ago was explored by people!
Very exciting and it's something she should test out herself. There are quite a few people in Spirit Hall who need training so she could test it out on them.
Besides… it appears she will need them to be on the very top game if they want to fight against these maids!
Sure enough, the Maid team is facing the Blazing Team…
This was brutal for the Blazing Academy. Their current win-to-lose ratio is 1 win and 1 loss. And this is the first fight for the Maids team…
While the teams are getting ready Huo Wu herself in question looked with conflicted looks against her old Academy. She was pissed that her grandfather abandoned her while at the same time she wants her old academy to win and get some payback for all the hard training she had to endure.
Yet, at the same time, she wants these maids to win because now she is part of it.
In other words, her mind is a jumbled mess…
~~~
Sure enough, the battle had started and the maids quickly moved into formation and started to attack with ruthless precision.
Unlike a regular team, the maid team is all about synchronisation movement. Even the support maids like the scarf maid. She still attacks with her scarf even if her Martial spirit rings are purely too buff…
So it was quite a shock for the Blazing team when they saw all the maids going on complete offence.
The polearm-wielding maid was the first one to engage a fighter with a flaming sword.
Now that her tool spirit was a metal polearm instead of a broom she wasn't afraid to use it in a proper confrontation.
Though the Blazing Team member didn't expect the maid to quickly utilise her legs as she kicked him in his knees.
This made him lose balance which she used to throw the fire sword using Spirit Master into the air. To finish him off another man with a scarf caught him in midair and sent him flying out of the arena.
All that happened in just a few fractions of seconds.
Seeing this one with flaming wings tried to attack the scarf girl who by all means is the maid team's main healer and support.
Not that his intervention wasn't foreseen. Before he can even get close a palm glowing in diamond colour slammed into the gut of the flyer and sent him crashing into the group.
He was taken down by a Martial Avatar!
Before he can even stand up someone kicked right into his face and sent him out of the arena.
The fight was so fast that the Blazing Team members didn't even have enough time to set up anything or even utilise their Spirit Rings!
One by one the team of fire users got thrown out of the arena.
The whole fight only lasted less than 3 minutes…
[...]
The commentator was utterly speechless as she expected some sort of mix of Spirit Rings and Martial Arts… not complete and utter destruction!
Without any sort of Spirit Ring usage! This kind of battling style was closely copied from the Crown Prince… or more like taught from the Crown Prince.
People who witnessed this finally saw what people trained by him properly can truly do…
And it was terrifying!
Even the other team, the Heaven's team which was led by Gu Yue and Dugu Yan were stunned.
'This is the true power of maids serving the Prince!' That moment Dugu Yan decided that she will be one! Because this… this old style isn't working as well as she thought! Her Grandfather's pep talk is not going to change her mind anymore.
While Gu Yue for a second got lost in thought when she saw this… her gaze went to Na'er who was acting like the Maid's team commander or teacher…
'Her cultivation limit should be Rank 60… did she exceed it? I didn't have a chance to see her Spirit Rings or her cultivation for over a year…'
The Silver Dragon King could only wonder if her Silver Dragon Spear evolved and beat the limitations placed on it.
After all, her spear should not have been a Martial Spirit in the first place.
Not that it means anything… After all, Xue Long somehow…magically got another two martial Spirits… by this point, the world is going crazy and she can't do anything to make it move in the 'right' direction anymore…
'If this is to continue, 5-year deals mean nothing… Na'er will crush me in that fight either way…'
Now Gu Yue simply was dying from inside that she will forcefully go to fuse with Na'er. Doing that to herself is simply disgusting.
Though… before she is going to do that she is going to talk with Xue Long. Maybe… can they talk this out in some sort of way or fashion?
For now… she needs to prepare herself to fight the maid team. The one and true enemy in this tournament.
After all, the winner will get the full attention of the Crown Prince who will teach them himself for a month. With everything including! From his meditation to training methods.
He even will help develop specific martial arts for the whole team!
In other words, you get maid training treatment for a month! And this is something Gu Yue wants her hands on! She wants to get those three Meditations! Because so far she hasn't learned them yet!
It's either her pride which is in the way or her timing is just bad.
Anyway! She needs to win!
