Bab 376: Fusion of Spirit Ability and Tang Sect Secret Techniques (3)
But at this instant, Tang San's dash suddenly came to a rigid halt. Equally raising both his hands, and moreover without releasing any Blue Silver Grass, both his palms met Huo Wushuang's fists. With a slight shake of his wrists, both his arms moved in a splendid arc.
Huo Wushuang immediately felt something amiss, as if his strength met a soft and flexible screen, the blasting power his fists were brimming with lacked any sensation of collision. Even more shockingly, after his scaled met with Tang San's force they didn't cause any explosions, but were rather pulled aside as if someone used their hands to pull him. Following the momentum of his fists, Huo Wushuang immediately stumbled.
Tang San had disappeared just the instant Huo Wushuang lost his balance.
The next moment, Huo Wushuang only felt a great force rush out behind him, and before he had time to react, his whole body had already been sent flying. His body issued a series of explosive sounds in midair, the result of him exploding the fire element contained in his scale armor.
Unfortunately, his reaction was a beat too slow. Even though the explosive force was powerful, in midair it was basically unable to affect Tang San.
This was the effect born of combining Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step with Controlling Crane Catching Dragon.
In the days since, Tang San had thought of a great many things. He suddenly found that ever since gaining spirit abilities, he seemed to have forgotten a lot of extremely powerful capabilities. Indeed, spirit abilities were really useful, and moreover straightforward and simple. But in fact, how could his Tang Sect secret lore come out short in a comparison?
As this world understood things, the Tang Sect lore he had cultivated from Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record were also each a kind of ability! Purple Demon Eye was one. Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step, Controlling Crane Catching Dragon, Mysterious Jade Hand, weren't they all? Even if the hidden weapons Tang Sect knew best couldn't be used, couldn't he still use these?
If the entire previous process could be slowed down, the whole course of Tang San's actions could be seen clearly. Using Controlling Crane Catching Dragon to divert the opponent's attack, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step to dodge behind Huo Wushuang, Mysterious Jade Hand pushing with Controlling Crane Catching Dragon.
Even though he had been hit by the explosive force, with the durability of Mysterious Jade Hand, this basically wouldn't cause any injury, and Huo Wushuang's body had already been swiftly pushed away.
Seven strands of Blue Silver Grass, glittering with mauve light in the sunshine, fell from the sky like seven long rainbows.
Right now Huo Wushuang had his back completely exposed to Tang San. He only felt a pressure in the sky, but couldn't see just what attack it was. And the moment Tang San's Blue Silver Grass chose to attack was just when the energy in his scales had just burst out, and his spirit power was still condensing, the awkward moment when he couldn't use his next spirit ability.
Control, this was still control, only that what was controlled were the details and precision. The details decided the outcome, and at this moment, Tang San used this instant to maximize his advantage.
Blue Silver Grass struck Huo Wushuang's open back without the least suspense, seven strands of Blue Silver Grass all whipped the same place. The first one already knocked Huo Wushuang from the air to the ground. From the second and onward, they caused intolerable pain to instantly spread through Huo Wushuang's whole body. Bringing a paralysing and twitching sensation, all he could do was to swiftly roll over and leap up. But his back was already badly mangled.
Don't forget that Blue Silver Grass was seriously toxic, with the poison of the Man Faced Demon Spider as well as the thorns of the Ghost Vine. Having lost his protective scales, right now Huo Wushuang wasn't only infected by the poison, but the violent pain moreover affected his spirit power aggregation and mental focus.
Tang San's expression was still serene, but he wouldn't give his opponent any chance to recover his strength. Just as Huo Wushuang shot up and prepared to confront Tang San, something tightened about his feet. Without any warning, a strand of the most common Blue Silver Grass twisted around his ankles, tripping him over once again.
In order to defend and counterattack, Huo Wushuang had just now condensed practically all his spirit power in his upper body. Once again on the ground, he needed time in order to use explosive force to free his bound feet.
But, his body was already sent tumbling by the impetus of that Blue Silver Grass.
This time, Huo Wushuang was thrown into the distance, and Tang San on the ground followed like an illusion. Twelve strands of Blue Silver Grass shot out with a swing of his right arm, still attacking the same spot.
Blasting sounds rang out practically uninterrupted, blast after blast bursting out in the air. This time, Huo Wushuang already had a defense, but within explosion after explosion, the twelve strands of Blue Silver Grass successively smashed it. The pain of those bone piercing lashes as well as the shock of his own fire element explosions, left Huo Wushuang in such pain he wished he was dead, directly resisting a mouthful of blood reflux from spraying out in the air.
Finally blocking the last strand of Blue Silver Grass, Huo Wushuang staked all his strength on controlling his feet to land, preventing being humiliated once again. At the same time he also impatiently erupted a series of attacks in midair, for fear that he would once again be bound by that ghost serpent like Blue Silver Grass.
"You've lost."
Tang San's attack didn't reappear, what reached him was only that calm voice.
Huo Wushuang now returned to his senses, staring, he couldn't keep his face from going deathly pale. He now discovered that he was already outside of the ring, having fallen just one meter out of bounds.
Now he understood the reason why Tang San lashed out with twelve strands of Blue Silver Grass after he had been thrown. It wasn't to attack him, but rather to exploit the attacks of the Blue Silver Grass as well as the impulses of his own explosions to increase the distance he flew.
Out of bounds, no matter the circumstances, meant defeat.
Huo Wushuang looked at Tang San in a daze. He couldn't accept it, and on the contrary he discovered that the feeling of defeat in his heart was so powerful.
Confronting Tang San he hadn't faced control, but rather his rigid offense. A control system Spirit Master's precision, combined with the speed and strength of the agility attack system and power attack system.
From the first moment of contact until the end, he hadn't even been been able to stall for enough energy to launch his more powerful spirit abilities. But what Tang San used was at most only his first spirit ability, to the extent that it wasn't even the whole first spirit ability.
How much spirit power could he have consumed just by waving a few strands of Blue Silver Grass?
Hidden weapons didn't only include throwing types, but also mechanical types and the rare rope types. Tang San had just fully used the rope type methods on his own Blue Silver Grass.
He had used it as early as the human meteor hammer before, but he had only truly recognized the importance of fusing his Tang Sect lore with his spirit abilities in his days of painful cultivation and while truly combining the two together.
A forty second ranker versus a forty second ranker, and the winner's spirit power consumption could practically be neglected. This was the result Tang San had obtained after bitter cultivation. He had proved his strength in real combat, making the Huo Wushuang who had originally thought he could make a fight of it lose before he could even use his full strength. So much that he couldn't even use up some of Tang San's spirit power.
"You didn't have any confidence when you faced me. If a Spirit Master doesn't have confidence, how can he win?"
Tang San's words reached Huo Wushuang's ears. When he looked at Tang San's serene eyes, Huo Wushuang suddenly found that this clearly younger than him youth seemed to have become his teacher.
By now Huo Wu had run over, grabbing Huo Wushuang's arm, asking with a deeply concerned face:
"Ge, are you alright?"
Huo Wushuang shook his head,
"I'm alright. I lost, lost by heart and word."
Huo Wu sharply raised her head, both her eyes seeming to shoot flames, fiercely burning at Tang San.
Tang San's gaze was still undisturbed. He looked at Huo Wu without any particular mood.
The first fight ended like this. Even though the scene wasn't as chaotic as the qualifiers, and wasn't any applause or cheers, what Tang San revealed captured everyone present. Even Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School master Ning Fengzhi discovered that this child became more and more impenetrable. At such a young age, he already had some of the demeanor of a great family.
Glancing at platinum bishop Salas next to him out of the corner if his eye, Ning Fengzhi was somewhat astonished to discover that Salas' face was still calm, without any fluctuation to his mood because of Tang San's display, as if he was only looking at the most common competition.
The next matches seemed even easier for Tang San. He continuously calm and unhurried successively fought five Blazing Academy team members. Among them the twin brothers Huo Wun and Huo Yu had broken through from thirty ninth rank to fortieth rank.
But nobody could make Tang San release his third spirit ability.
Blazing Academy already possessed four spirit masters over fortieth rank, but six of them still couldn't stop Tang San's advance. His spirit power was still plentiful, and there wasn't even a trace of exhaustion on his face.
It was under such circumstances that Blazing Academy's final team member, vice captain Huo Wu, walked gravely into the ring.
One defeating six. Since the start of the ranking competition, this was the most outstanding score to appear. Moreover the six defeated people were still from the traditionally powerful and well known Blazing Academy, these were circumstances nobody could have imagined before the start of the match, but this was what really had happened.
