...
"Dai Family and Zhu Family of the Star Luo Empire?"
"The Royal Family? Spirit Fusion skill?"
After listening to Qian Renxue's explanation and watching the fierce battle between the two teams on the Spirit Arena, Zeng Yi instantly remembered about this plot from the original work.
In other words, Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai had an engagement, just like him and Hu Liena.
Moreover, their Martial Spirits could fuse together to unleash a powerful spirit fusion skill.
Hell White Tiger!
On the Spirit Arena, Blue Silver Grass entwined with blazing flames, 4 spirit rings shimmered dazzlingly, and a thunderous tiger roar echoed throughout the venue, accompanied by a low meow from the black cat.
And there was also the moonlit sword aura spreading across the battlefield.
Watching this intense battle scene, Zeng Yi couldn't help but fall silent.
He knew the Shrek Seven Devils very well because he had personally guided their cultivation. He could be considered highly familiar with the strength of the Shrek Seven Devils.
The Shrek Seven Devils had the title of champions!
However, facing the Star Luo Imperial Team, they were still struggling.
The reason behind it was the opponent's spirit fusion skill.
Hell White Tiger!
On the Spirit Arena, there was a gigantic tiger with a body size close to ten meters and a height of about five meters. Its white fur was adorned with black tiger stripes, and its sharp claws were as sharp as blades. Every attack could leave deep grooves on the iron-like stone slabs.
With thunderous roars and overwhelming airwaves, in front of this white giant tiger, everyone else seemed like ants.
Because it was a spirit fusion skill performed by two high-level Spirit Masters, its power was comparable to that of a Spirit Emperor at the sixth rank.
The Shrek Seven Devils not only had to face this giant white tiger with the strength comparable to a Spirit Emperor, but they also had to deal with the other five Spirit Masters on the opponent's side, which was an immense pressure to handle.
Even with the assistance of the only Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit Master in the entire continent, they still wore grim expressions.
This match was the first one that made them feel so challenged since the beginning of the tournament.
Since their opponents had used a spirit fusion skill, why was Shrek hiding their own moves? Hurry up and use your spirit fusion skill!
Zeng Yi couldn't understand.
Suddenly, Zeng Yi's eyes narrowed as if he had thought of something.
That's right! Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Spirit had already undergone a mutation and was no longer the Hell Civet but had become the Star Spirit Mirage Spirit. It seemed like they couldn't use the Hell White Tiger spirit fusion skill together with Dai Mubai anymore.
Now, Zeng Yi felt a bit embarrassed.
"What's wrong with you? You seem a bit off." Qian Renxue noticed the change in Zeng Yi's expression and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Hehe, it's nothing. I just thought of something." Zeng Yi smirked awkwardly, then turned around and supported his chin with crossed hands, his eyes revealing seriousness and solemnity.
If the Shrek Seven Devils lost, wouldn't he be the culprit?
Because he had given that Immortal Herb to Xiao Zhu, which resulted in her Martial Spirit mutating, making it impossible for her to use the Hell White Tiger spirit fusion skill with Dai Mubai. As a result, the Shrek Seven Devils would lose a powerful trump card.
Without this spirit fusion skill, even if they won against the Star Luo Imperial Team, the subsequent matches would become incredibly difficult, and they might even lose and not achieve the championship that was originally within their reach.
After all, their future opponents would only be stronger than the Star Luo Imperial Team, and even stronger by a significant margin.
I'm going to become the scapegoat!
This thought rose in his mind, and Zeng Yi suddenly felt a bit sorry for his teammates.
No, even though I accidentally lost their powerful trump card, the spirit fusion skill of the Shrek Seven Devils...
But! I helped them improve their personal strength significantly. The current Shrek Seven Devils are much stronger than their counterparts in the original work.
Those spirit fusion skills or whatever are just illusions. Can you release a spirit fusion skill when others aren't by your side?
Therefore, relying on oneself is the real strength!
With this thought, Zeng Yi's guilt diminished significantly.
Hmm, let's summarize this: If they lose, it won't be my fault. It's because their own strength isn't strong enough!
For some reason, Qian Renxue noticed another change in Zeng Yi's expression. Suddenly, he straightened his chest and lifted his head, radiating confidence, which puzzled her.
"It seems like you have a lot of inner turmoil going in right now." Qian Renxue commented with sarcasm.
Zeng Yi's body stiffened, and he turned his head to look at her. He scratched his head with his palm and wore an embarrassed smile on his face.
"Oh, uh... Is that so?"
However, in the end, it was still the Shrek Seven Devils who won this match.
Although Zhu Zhuqing performed exceptionally well in this match, impressing not only her teammates and opponents but also the entire audience, she was not the deciding factor in this victory.
Because there was one person who outshone her!
Yes, that person was Tang San, the protagonist of this world.
Zeng Yi never expected that even without the spirit fusion skill, the Shrek Seven Devils would still defeat the Star Luo Imperial Team by utilizing the spirit fusion skill.
The combined strength and spirit power of the six members of the Shrek Seven Devils converged onto Tang San.
Finally, Tang San manifested a huge Iron Hammer on the stage, utilizing the full power of the team.
The blue hammer had mysterious inscriptions engraved on it, and blue electric arcs flickered and jumped in the void. Terrifying gusts of power swept through, causing irregular distortions in the surrounding space. It was so powerful that it felt suffocating.
Under the astonished gazes of the audience, Tang San swung the enormous hammer with both arms, shattering the white giant tiger with a single strike.
"The winning team, Shrek Seven Devils!"
As the referee announced, thunderous cheers erupted throughout the venue. The audience was conquered by the absolute visual impact. This match was truly breathtaking and exhilarating.
"That's the Clear Sky Hammer!"
Qian Renxue looked at Tang San's departing figure with a serious expression, feeling some pressure within herself.
As someone who possessed a Supreme Martial Spirit, she should have been peerless and unbeatable.
However, her grandfather, who also possessed the Seraphim Martial Spirit, once told her that in this world, there was a Martial Spirit that could rival the Qian Family.
That was the Clear Sky Hammer!
"Indeed, it's the Clear Sky Hammer. That guy, Tang San, possesses a twin Martial Spirit and is a genius." Zeng Yi casually said with a relaxed smile, crossing his legs.
Seeing such a move from Tang San caught him off guard, even he would be severely injured if caught off guard.
But unfortunately, this move required a team effort; otherwise, Tang San might be able to fight against him.
After all, a spirit fusion skill was ultimately not an individual's possession.
Zeng Yi shook his head and sighed.
However, he still needed to work harder on his cultivation. Once Tang San began cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Spirit, he would quickly surpass him.
Thinking like this, Zeng Yi felt a bit troubled. Being surpassed by a junior again seemed quite embarrassing.
"It seems like you're not concerned about the Clear Sky Hammer. Don't you know it's the number one weapon Martial Spirit on the continent?" Qian Renxue looked at Zeng Yi curiously, her expression revealing some pressure.
However, Zeng Yi's face still exuded immense confidence.
"That's because it hasn't encountered me. All these rankings of the Best Beast Martial Spirit or the Best Weapon Martial Spirit are achieved through strength. Once I become a Titled Douluo, my Sword will be the number one Martial Spirit on the continent. Isn't that what it means?" Zeng Yi looked at Qian Renxue with a confident smile on his face, leaving her momentarily stunned.
"You're quite interesting." she eventually responded with a laugh.
