Bab 384: Huo Wu And Xiao Wu’s Kiss (2)
Grandmaster said indifferently:
"That's right. Even if your Blue Silver Grass has ice and fire immunity, it's unable to resist lightning. Your control power is restrained to a degree when facing lightning spirits. Because your Blue Silver Grass is unable to be completely nonconductive. I think you should have discovered this problem originally when you confronted my nephew. If you lost today, if you were injured, then whether your mental condition or strength, they would both be weakened. If our luck is bad tomorrow, and we continue to draw Godwind Academy, do you think we could still continue to accomplish successive victories?"
Light flashed in Tang San's eyes,
"Teacher, you mean to have me deal with Godwind Academy."
Grandmaster nodded, saying:
"With your strength, going all out and prevailing over Thunderclap Academy wouldn't be difficult. The key is that there is a fifty percent chance of meeting Godwind Academy in our next match. I've carefully observed Godwind Academy's strength, among the five elemental academies, they are doubtless the most powerful team. In order to deal with them, you will need your full strength. For today's match against Thunderclap Academy, trust in your comrades. I will now declare the order of appearance. The first person to go up is, Tai Long, after followed by Jing Ling, Huang Yuan, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun. Any questions?"
"None."
Everyone agreed loudly.
"Brothers, work hard."
Tang San held out his closed fist.
Dai Mubai met his gaze, an intangible overbearing air spreading from him,
"Don't worry, little San. Leave this match to us. As for Godwind Academy, we'll look to you."
"Fine."
Raising his hand, Tang San and Dai Mubai's bumped fists, then again held them together. The others also put up their hands one after another, everyone roaring thrice. This moment, the whole eleven Shrek Academy participating students hearts' completely came together, they, were truly one.
The match started very quickly. Tang San calmly sat in the audience. Trusting his team, that was his only choice. Renouncing two rounds in the qualifiers had meant Shrek Academy couldn't take the number one seat, to Tang San this was a matter for regret. Even though the ranking competition was the least important round in the tournament, Tang San had long ago resolved not to lose again.
Thunderclap Academy was very powerful, there was no need to doubt the attack power of any thunder attribute Spirit Master, especially in explosiveness. They were brimming with a ruthless aura.
Thunderclap Academy had altogether four Spirit Masters surpassing the fortieth rank, in this respect they were the same as Godwind Academy. Even though Blazing Academy had finally caught up in this respect, that was after all not the same as the contestants of these two great academies that had surpassed the fortieth rank long ago.
Thunderclap Academy clearly also regarded this match as very important, the four fortieth ranked Spirit Masters were all concentrated at the rear of their lineup. They would prefer to give up morale in order to first clearly see Shrek Academy's battle order.
In the first match, beyond expectations, the pure strength Tai Long defeated his opponent. What he relied on wasn't his terrifying power to attack, but rather his ability to take a beating.
Pure strength Spirit Masters didn't just have formidable attack, but their frightening strength also made their physical defense extremely abnormal. Tai Long just relied on the mentality of an immortal cockroach to rigidly withstand round after round of attacks from his opponent, obtaining ultimate victory by exhausting his opponent's spirit power.
Before confronting Thunderclap Academy, Grandmaster had for the first time given his students some directions in tactics. The advice he gave Tai Long was only one simple word: Stall. Stall until the opponent's spirit power is practically exhausted.
Having researched spirits for so many years, even though Grandmaster didn't dare say he could identify every spirit in the world, his understanding of the merits and drawbacks of all kinds of spirits was really only too clear.
The greatest characteristic of thunder attribute spirits was terrifying attack power. Their burst strength was incomparable. But everything was balanced. Under the appearance of valiant attack power, thunder attribute spirits also hid its weakness.
There was no need to doubt the formidably explosive attack power, but equally, when it erupted, the spirit power it consumed was also more than other attribute spirits. Even though Tai Long didn't attack his opponent, that didn't mean he couldn't dodge. And in order to defeat him, his opponent had to practically bring out one combat spirit ability after another. Even though attacks poured down on Tai Long like a torrent, that definitely wasn't the full story. Just like this, as the opponent several blasted Tai Long to the ground several times, so that even his hair stood upright, and his clothes were damaged, when he believed he could defeat Tai Long, he was shocked to discover that he no longer had enough spirit power.
In the team, Tai Long was an absolute meat shield, and under Grandmaster guidance, his defensive strength had advanced one step further over the past days. The outward sorry appearance and true victory made his stiff face reveal a heartfelt smile. After all, the opponent he defeated was from Thunderclap Academy!
Tai Long's 'pleasant surprise' for the Thunderclap Academy still hadn't ended. In the second fight, with spirit power and spirit abilities completely focused on defense, he once again equally exhausted his opponent to death.
Even though thunder and lightning had powerful attack, it still fell short of that kind of focused piercing ability of the wind element. Until the third opponent, when Tai Long was finally unable to endure because of exhausted spirit power, he still exhausted a substantial part of the opponent's spirit power before conceding.
The second person to go up, Jing Ling, provided his opponent even more of a headache. His spirit wasn't considered too brilliant, but as an agility attack system Spirit Master, there was no need to doubt Jing Ling's speed. His opponent was a power attack system Spirit Master. Grandmaster only gave him one word of advice: Dodge.
Even the most formidable spirit ability must still hit its target to have an effect. Jing Ling was clearly faster than his opponent, and no matter how fast thunder was, there were still signs before it was used. Jing Ling relied on his keen sense of judgement to several times one after another dodge the opponent's attacks, forcing the opponent to use large scale attack spirit abilities to deal with him. However, when he prepared to use large scale attacks, just like the his two comrades before him, he discovered his spirit power was already in critical condition. He had still consumed too much when he defeated Tai Long.
Just like this, Jing Ling only used one spirit ability to defeat his opponent. Drawing out Thunderclap Academy's final four.
There was a fundamental difference between Spirit Elders and Spirit Ancestors, and even though Jing Ling used the same tactics, Thunderclap Academy's coaching teacher had clearly seen through his goal. The fourth student to go on stage basically didn't give him a chance, and blasted Jing Ling out of the ring with two consecutive large scale attack spirit abilities.
A one-off consumption of spirit power was always better than mutually grinding each other down. Thunderclap Academy's teacher immediately revealed the characteristic of fifteen tons of thunder.
The third to go up from Shrek Academy was Huang Yuan. He had neither Tai Long's defensive strength or Jing Ling's speed. But possessing the Lone Wolf Spirit, he won out in balance. With balanced attack and defense, even though he ultimately also lost to the tyrannical attacks of the opponents' fourth Spirit Master, he also successfully wasted the vast majority of the opponent's spirit power.
The Shrek Seven Devils finally took their turn. The fourth to go up from Shrek Academy was Xiao Wu.
Even though Xiao Wu still hadn't reached the fortieth rank, her spirit power was still at the thirty ninth rank, and her opponent's spirit power was already mostly used up and couldn't use any formidable spirit abilities. Xiao Wu dodged a few times and attacked once, defeating him and drawing out the next.
Thunder Academy, fifth student to go up.
Lei Tian, forty second ranked power attack system Battle Spirit Master. Spirit: Thunder Hawk.
There were long since no longer any secrets between the two sides. Thunderclap Academy hadn't been observing Shrek Academy for just one or two days. But even they hadn't expected that they would continuously be at a disadvantage in the previous fights today, and the opponents only sent up a few thirty something ranked Spirit Elders.
Grandmaster's arrangement of the battle order might appear very casual, but it perfectly countered the opponents, exploiting their characteristic advantages. If it wasn't for Tang San's name not appearing in the Shrek Academy's list for the day, perhaps there would already have been issues with morale for Thunderclap Academy.
The students both sides had revealed so far weren't their strongest members, but Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun had both single-handedly defeated seven opponents in the previous matches. There was no need to doubt their strength. At least before the turn of Thunderclap Academy's vice captain they didn't have a chance of victory. Therefore, whoever gained an advantage in the previous exhausting competitions, would also take the initiative between the two sides.
Right now, even though Xiao Wu was somewhat spent, she was only the fourth person to appear. And her opponent was already the fifth. The advantage clearly already lay on Shrek Academy's side.
Lei Tian coldly gazed at Xiao Wu. To him right now, Xiao Wu wasn't a beautiful woman, but an opponent. Outsiders didn't know Shrek Academy's internal ranking. After the matches so far, some people who studied Shrek Academy knew that Shrek Academy's three most dangerous people were Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun. Even though Xiao Wu had also obtained a lot of victories before, with only three spirit rings, the attention she drew was naturally a bit less. The name Shrek Seven Devils was only something they used among themselves. Consequently, it seemed to Lei Tian that Xiao Wu wasn't any different from the previous several members who had appeared, and was only here to use up his strength.
The match reaching this stage was already its key moment. Lei Tian knew that he couldn't be allowed to lose this fight, and he moreover had to defeat Xiao Wu while conserving as much spirit power as possible. He didn't have any certainty in confronting Dai Mubai in the next fight, but he still had to consume as much of Dai Mubai's strength as possible in order to prepare for the final fight.
