Bab 334: Chapter 334: This is My Strongest State
...
As the two teams entered the competition venue, the atmosphere in the entire arena reached its climax. The cheering and thunderous applause echoed throughout.
However, there was one team with only a single member, which appeared quite strange.
Nevertheless, this did not dampen the enthusiasm of the audience. Because after witnessing yesterday's breathtaking and awe-inspiring battle, the strength of this team, despite having only one member, was indescribable.
Moreover, this time, their opponent was not like the previous one. The Blazing Academy team was one of the contenders for the qualifying round.
The polar opposite Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's Second Team faced off against the formidable Blazing Academy team. This match was definitely the most exciting one of the day.
Not only the ordinary spectators, but also the various teams participating in the preliminary matches, especially the powerful ones, were all paying attention to this match. The other four teams, Skywater Academy, Godwind Academy, Thunderclap Academy and the Elephant Armored Academy, would also face off against Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's Second Team after this. Even the Shrek Academy was in the audience, eagerly watching this match.
Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang glanced at the members of the Team Shrek beside him, then turned his gaze to the Spirit Arena with a solemn expression. "You should pay close attention to this match. The Blazing Academy is strong, not inferior to the Elephant Armored Academy in the previous match. However, since their opponent is Zeng Yi, the Blazing Academy will undoubtedly use all means necessary to win this match. Otherwise, they will have no chance at all."
"But this will be advantageous for us. At least, under Zeng Yi's pressure, we can clearly gauge the strength, formation, and trump cards of the Blazing Academy. When we face them, it will be much easier."
Thinking like this, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang felt quite comfortable. Although Zeng Yi was their biggest rival, that was a matter for the elimination round. At least in the preliminaries, they could gather all the information they needed by studying Zeng Yi's opponents. This way, they could face their match with more confidence and composure.
Even the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's Emperor Team, which had secured a spot in the finals, personally came to watch this match. They wanted to see the strength of their compatriot team that dared to face a complete seven-member team with just one person.
On the Spirit Arena, both sides had already taken their positions, facing each other, waiting for the referee to announce the start.
Zeng Yi's face carried a relaxed smile, his gaze casually scanning the seven members of the Blazing Academy, six male spirit masters, and one female spirit master.
Zeng Yi's gaze stopped for a moment on the only female spirit master in the Blazing team. He took a few more glances at her.
This exceptionally beautiful girl had an exquisite figure, with a graceful and symmetrical body emitting a faint red glow. The golden-red team uniform complemented her well, along with her dark red long hair, attracting the attention of everyone like a flame capable of melting any man's heart.
Zeng Yi felt somewhat familiar with this girl. He remembered seeing her during an exchange event at the Skywater Academy. As for the other men, Zeng Yi didn't recognize them. They weren't as attractive as the girl, and their strength was nothing compared to his own, so Zeng Yi didn't pay attention to whether they were present during that exchange event at Skywater Academy.
Just because the girl looked good, Zeng Yi took several more glances, and that's why he had some impression of her. However, they had never spoken, so Zeng Yi was still unfamiliar with this girl. Nevertheless, from the information prepared by Xue Qinghe, Zeng Yi knew her name was Huo Wu and that she had the highest spirit power in the Blazing Academy, even though she wasn't the team captain.
However, on the beautiful face that seemed to be burning like warm flames, there appeared a hint of anger in her charming amber eyes.
This puzzled Zeng Yi. Did he do something to anger this beautiful young lady?
Nevertheless, Zeng Yi approached the match with a spirit of friendship first and competition second. Even though the opposing team stared angrily at him for no apparent reason, Zeng Yi responded with a friendly and well-intentioned smile.
However, the expression on the opposing team's faces grew even more infuriated due to Zeng Yi's smile.
Huo Wu was a girl with an extremely strong sense of self-worth. Although she was a girl, she was revered and respected by everyone at home and at the academy. Combined with her innate talent, she had always been at the top among her peers. At only 19 years old, she had reached strength above Level 40, which was unprecedented in the Blazing Academy. Her pride had good reason behind it. Her appearance, power, and family background were all factors that gave her a sense of pride.
She knew that the opponent's strength was formidable, and she might not be a match for him. However, when facing her entire team against a single opponent, did he really think the Blazing Academy was on the same level as the team from the previous day?
Thus, she felt extremely angry. Zeng Yi's current behavior showed that he didn't take the Blazing Academy seriously, which made her feel like a clown. Zeng Yi's actions were like rubbing her pride and dignity in the dirt.
At this moment, not only Huo Wu, but also the other members of the Blazing Academy, felt their anger rising because Zeng Yi appeared alone. They felt that they were being underestimated and disrespected. Their emotions became inflamed.
The match hadn't even started yet, but Zeng Yi could already feel the scorching heat from the team's aura. The atmosphere became searing, and he felt as if he was being burned by the raging flames in a fiery inferno.
However, now Zeng Yi understood why these people were angry. They felt insulted because he appeared alone, believing that he was looking down on them. Did they think he had a better chance if his 6 Spirit Elder teammates fought alongside me?
Zeng Yi found it somewhat amusing. As a Solo Sword Master, he could focus on combat without distractions and display his true strength. With the passive skill, [Ronin], enhancing his abilities, his strength became even stronger.
To be honest, even without the passive enhancement, Zeng Yi was confident in facing seven opponents alone, let alone when enhanced by [Ronin], which amplified his abilities by fifty percent.
I am going to face the Blazing team with my strongest state. Isn't that the greatest affirmation of their strength? Yet, they still feel they are being looked down upon and humiliated?
Is it because they want to celebrate if I am weakened by my teammates? Zeng Yi thought with a smile. It's truly a strange mindset.
Zeng Yi looked at the seven opponents and couldn't help but mock them silently. However, they had no idea, so they showed their attitude, which Zeng Yi could understand.
Since that's the case, when the match starts, I will show them the utmost respect and affirm their strength.
"Both sides release your Martial Spirits!"
A bird like referee, a kind of Bird Martial Spirit, flapped their wings and flew above the Spirit Arena, observing the two teams below, and shouted loudly.
Following the referee's words, almost all members of the Blazing Academy released their Martial Spirits almost simultaneously. As they all had fire element Martial Spirits, after releasing their Martial Spirits, they emanated an even more blazing aura. A fiery red flame enveloped their bodies, dyeing the entire Spirit Arena red.
In an instant, the temperature on the Spirit Arena soared rapidly, and one could visibly see the heat wave surging in the air.
On Zeng Yi's side, his [Ronin Sword] Martial Spirit quietly appeared on his waist, and an invisible halo of wind swirled around his body, resisting the surging spirit power fluctuations.
Zeng Yi's aura surged, and his spirit power roared. A gentle wind carrying a faint blue spirit power began to whirl and rampage on the Spirit Arena.
Two overwhelming auras stood their ground on the Spirit Arena with equal strength.
This spectacle shocked the entire audience. On the Spirit Arena's circular stage, which was nearly a hundred meters in diameter, the dividing line was clearly drawn. On one side were burning flames, while on the other, howling winds.
