Bab 150: Chapter 150: The Lustrous Clear Shadows' Win
...
Suddenly, the atmosphere became quiet, and everyone on the Soul Arena held their breath, their gaze fixed on the situation on the stage.
What happened?
A question mark rose in everyone's mind.
On the stage of the Soul Arena, Ning Rongrong stood on the edge, looking surprised and staring intently at Zhu Zhuqing and the other opponent.
Zhu Zhuqing made a handsome sheathing motion, the shadow of the blade disappeared into its scabbard. She slightly opened her mouth and exhaled a breath of turbid air. Then, she calmly and sharply turned around, her cold and sharp gaze fixed on the motionless burly man in front of her.
Boom~
Suddenly, the clothes on the upper body of the burly man turned into hundreds of pieces of shattered cloth, falling down and revealing his muscular and sturdy body, resembling solid rocks. But on his bronzed skin, there were dozens of small red lines with traces of blood oozing out, looking ferocious.
The burly man stood there dumbfounded, motionless, his huge eyes filled with shock and fear, and delicate beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Just now, Zhu Zhuqing's move was even faster than her previous attacks, and this time, the burly man couldn't even capture the trajectory of her strike. In that instant, he felt dozens of sharp and fierce attacks enveloping his body, under such pressure, he didn't even have time to react and dodge.
These dozens of powerful and fast slashes, the burly man didn't have the confidence to defend himself with his physical body.
The sharp and cold sword light pressed down with a fierce momentum. In that instant, a feeling of despair surged from the bottom of the burly man's heart, almost sensing the scent of death.
But the burly man didn't die. Zhu Zhuqing had only cut off his clothes.
This thrilling and dangerous move brushed past death, making the burly man's emotions fluctuate greatly, as if he had instantly arrived from hell to heaven.
The burly man was somewhat relieved. Luckily, this was the gambling zone where killing was not allowed. Otherwise, under this move, he wouldn't have the ability to survive.
"How about it? Not willing to surrender?"
A cold and indifferent voice came from behind, causing the burly man to shudder.
He turned his head immediately and saw the young girl standing there quietly, a long knife hanging from her waist, her waist-length blue hair gently swaying in the breeze. Her pair of different-colored eyes were deep and cold, her demeanor extraordinary and transcendent, as cold as a fairy.
Invisible to the naked eye, a powerful and imposing aura pressed down, making the surrounding air slightly heavy and oppressive. The burly man's mood felt even heavier and uncomfortable.
"I-I surrender."
The burly man's face showed a bitter expression as he struggled to speak, slowly uttering the three words. He knew very well that after their recent exchange, he was no match for this girl. If she hadn't held back, he would have died on the spot and wouldn't be standing here admitting defeat.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's calm appearance, the burly man knew that she still had plenty of strength left. Although it was a bit embarrassing to be defeated by a young girl in her teens, his own life was more important, and at this moment, he didn't care about his pride anymore.
The burly man declared his surrender to Zhu Zhuqing, not lingering any longer. He turned around sadly and walked towards his companions, jumping off the Soul Arena, and together with Yanbao, they left the Soul Arena under support.
"The winners of this match - The Lustrous Clear Shadows! Record: one win, zero losses! Let us congratulate them on their victory and cheer for the The Lustrous Clear Shadows together!"
When the loser left the stage, the host immediately rushed up and shouted loudly, skillfully guiding the atmosphere of the audience. Suddenly, the enthusiastic cheers from the audience like waves surged, enveloping the entire venue, shaking loudly like thunder. Everyone cheered for the victory of the The Lustrous Clear Shadows, shouting excitedly.
The host's announcement of victory didn't elicit any emotional response from Zhu Zhuqing. She still maintained her cold and indifferent demeanor, as if this victory had nothing to do with her.
However, amidst the loud and intense cheers, Zhu Zhuqing furrowed her delicate eyebrows, her face showing a touch of displeasure.
The introverted Zhu Zhuqing didn't like being watched like a performer, but this was the training task arranged by the Teacher, and there was no other choice.
"Zhuqing!"
A joyful shout came, and Zhu Zhuqing turned her head to see her teammate, Ning Rongrong, with an excited expression and a happy look on her face, eagerly running towards her.
As Ning Rongrong approached Zhu Zhuqing, she lightly jumped up in the air, opened her arms, and pounced on Zhu Zhuqing.
"Zhuqing, you were really cool just now! Amazing!" Ning Rongrong hugged Zhu Zhuqing's shoulders, her watery big eyes filled with admiration, happily praising her.
Before the battle, Ning Rongrong didn't expect the fight to end so quickly in Zhu Zhuqing's favor. They were only one person against two formidable Soul Masters with beast spirit fusion. Even with her assistance, it would be quite tricky to fight against two opponents at the same time. Moreover, as the support Spirit Master, she could also become a target for the enemy's attacks, adding more pressure to Zhu Zhuqing.
But the entire battle lasted only about a minute, and Zhu Zhuqing won easily. This shocked Ning Rongrong.
Furthermore, the momentum of Zhu Zhuqing's last move, her elegance, was something Ning Rongrong had never seen before.
It was the first time she felt that a woman could be so cool.
Absolutely peerless!
Seeing Ning Rongrong's joyful appearance, Zhu Zhuqing's cold face revealed a smile.
"Let's go back first."
"Okay, let's go and let them know how powerful our team is, hahaha."
Ning Rongrong was currently very excited and happy. With Zhu Zhuqing's current strength and her powerful auxiliary ability, there would hardly be any opponents in the grandmaster level Soul Arena. It seemed that becoming a Silver Battle Spirit was a sure thing.
The two of them returned to their VIP box in Shrek Academy. Everyone was waiting for them to celebrate their victorious first battle.
"Zhuqing, you're really strong! None of us expected the battle to end so quickly." Xiao Wu held Zhu Zhuqing's hand and praised her.
"And what about me?" Ning Rongrong interjected, eagerly looking at Xiao Wu.
"You're great too!" Xiao Wu exclaimed.
Being praised by others, Ning Rongrong happily squinted her eyes. It was her first time participating in a Soul Arena battle and winning, which made her extremely excited and happy.
"I seem to have only seen Little Zhu Qing in action throughout the whole fight. Niece, have you done anything? Slacking off?" Zeng Yi couldn't help but stroke his chin, pretending to ponder.
"You..."
Seeing Zeng Yi teasing her again, Ning Rongrong's face didn't look good.
"As an Auxiliary Spirit Master, if it wasn't for my auxiliary ability, would Zhuqing be so powerful? Do you want me, an assistant Spirit Master, to fight against other Soul Masters?" Ning Rongrong countered Zeng Yi with her hands on her hips, confidently retorting.
"That's true." Zhu Zhuqing nodded, speaking up for Ning Rongrong. Although she could defeat the two opponents on her own, with Ning Rongrong's enhancement, the speed of winning the battle became faster. It also made things simpler. Therefore, Ning Rongrong also had a great contribution.
Seeing her teammate supporting her, Ning Rongrong felt very happy and hugged Zhu Zhuqing's arm, her expression provocative and proud as she looked at Zeng Yi, saying, "How about that? Is it so difficult for you to admit my excellence?"
"Yes, yes, you're excellent." Zeng Yi replied half-heartedly, and continued leisurely drinking his tea.
Seeing his perfunctory appearance, Ning Rongrong pouted unhappily and made a clicking sound with her tongue.
After that, one after another, it was time for other people to engage in battles in the Soul Arena. With their strong strength, they easily won one-on-one and two-on-two Soul Arena battles.
However, tonight's schedule was not yet complete. After the previous two types of battles ended, the real highlight was next.
That was team battle.
Team battle was when two groups of Spirit Masters fought each other. With many people participating, it tested the level of cooperation among the team members.
Because in a situation where the strength gap wasn't too big, team cooperation became the key factor affecting victory.
A team of Spirit Masters in the Soul Arena consisted of 7 to 10 people. However, Zeng Yi knew that in reality, only seven Spirit Masters could participate in the team battle.
Why did they mention 7 to 10 then? Zeng Yi pondered and came up with a few answers.
Firstly, because there were only seven people in the main group, others could only have seven members as well.
Secondly, the remaining slots should be substitutes, in case of unforeseen circumstances.
And thirdly, according to a reliable saying, the extra slots were actually reserved for transmigrators.
Huh? Am I not a transmigrator?
Zeng Yi was somewhat shocked.
The eight students of Shrek Academy and the three teachers sat in the VIP box, while the grandmaster took out a piece of paper and placed it on the table, his gaze serious as he looked at the eight students.
"These are your opponents for the team battle."
"The Mad Battle Team!"
