Capítulo 334: Spirit Master World’s Extreme Limit Flow And Balanced Flow (3)
"The advancement quota from the qualifiers is only five. Therefore, you must plan for passing the qualifiers, then, one of these five academies will inevitably wash out. The five elemental academies have a close relationship, and if my guess is correct, they will inevitably move. Therefore, in the later matches you will encounter stronger and stronger opponents. Your hold your fate in your own hands. If you want to advance to the finals without trouble, then the best way is to obtain victory in each match in the qualifiers, entering the next stage with a total win record."
"Yes."
The Shrek Academy team agreed loudly.
Leaving the rest area, everyone's gazes first floated towards the stage. Right now, the spectators all around were constantly booing.
Tang San puzzled asked Grandmaster:
"Teacher, what's going on? Why is the audience reacting so much?"
Grandmaster said with a wry smile:
"Isn't it because of you? Your opponents forfeited, there are a lot of spectators who came especially to see all of you compete. When you don't appear, they will naturally be dissatisfied."
In the stands, at least one third of the spectators were dressed in green, or perhaps it should be called 'snot green'.
Even Grandmaster and Liu Erlong had to acknowledge Flender's sense for finance, but they could understand even less how the former Shrek Academy could fail like that.
Ever since the Shrek Academy team had caused a sensation, Flender had found partners to begin mass production of Shrek Academy uniforms and dumping them on the market. Moreover, each uniform was embroidered with the name of a team member.
Among them, Tang San's uniform sold the most, followed by Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing. In just one short week, Flender had ruthlessly dredged up quite a sum on these uniforms.
These two days he had begun thinking about making team mascots for sale. He was so busy he had completely handed over all tournament matters to Grandmaster and Liu Erlong.
They didn't know who first saw the Shrek Academy group leave the rest area, but immediately, a large amount of spectators began to shout the word 'Shrek', and the mood in the arena grew a lot more enthusiastic.
If this had been a spirit fighting match, the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena would have invited the Shrek team on the stage for a fight no matter what, as soon as they saw such a surge of enthusiasm.
Unfortunately, this was the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, and they didn't have that authority. They could only regretfully watch the Shrek Academy's absence from this day's matches.
The first round of matches had already begun. Grandmaster immediately pointed out which of the ten teams competing below were the Godwind and Skywater teams. What made Tang San astounded was that all the Godwind Academy's team members had flying abilities.
This was no doubt highly headache inducing. And the Skywater Academy's team consisted entirely of women, and each was a beauty.
Their opponents still hadn't acted, and they all already looked half charmed. What was the point in continuing a match like that?
In the shortest time possible, without hurdles, the Skywater Academy had already obtained victory.
The Godwind Academy's method of attack was very simple. All the members circled in the air like seven goshawks, constantly swooping down to attack. Their grasp of rhythm was exceptional.
With each attack, they struck with the five thousand ton force of thunder, after three rounds of dive attacks, the opponents no longer had anyone who could stand.
Observing these two matches, Tang San said in a low voice to Grandmaster next to him:
"Teacher, why aren't these five great elemental academies matching up elements and competing together? Whether it's the Elephant Armored Academy or these two teams, they're all the same single attribute Spirit Masters. Even though this means one aspect will become very powerful, in practice, the weak points also become glaringly obvious. If they can't display their strong points, doesn't that leave them without the strength to follow up?"
Grandmaster sighed lightly, saying:
"This is the difference between Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire. Heaven Dou Empire's advanced Spirit Master academies have always relied mainly on these five great elemental academies. This time around the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy has the Emperor Team, which is pretty good. But in the previous several tournaments, the ones capable of entering the top three from Heaven Dou Empire's side has always been one of these five elemental academies."
"Just as you said, the style of the team members from these five academies all tend to the extreme. Entirely different from the balanced nature the Star Luo Empire strives for. This has both advantages and detriments. When they encounter enemies that can't restrain their strong strong points, they can often destroy the opponents in a single blow. But if they encounter opponents that can restrain them, they will also frequently lose in a short time. But in all these years, these five great elemental academies has never had the slightest notion of changing their policies. Do you know why this is?"
Tang San blankly shook his head.
Grandmaster spoke in a low voice:
"Because this is the struggle between the Spirit Master world's two great streams of thought. One faction stands for balance, one faction stands for extremism. The extreme faction believes that a Spirit Master's capabilities should as far as possible follow a pure route, letting their strength grow in only a single direction, to become as outstanding as possible within this one direction. But the balanced faction believes a Spirit Master's capabilities should develop harmoniously, balancing attack and defense. These two great streams of thought have always been warring. The Spirit Master world of the Heaven Dou Empire largely favors the extreme faction, you've also seen that your Clear Sky School's Strength Clan is a typical example. And the Clear Sky School's four subordinate clans also have another three great extreme limit followers, you will no doubt come into contact with them in the future. But the Star Luo Empire's Spirit Masters largely follow the balanced route. Perhaps they have a bit less burst power, but they also have a lot fewer weaknesses, and their follow up capabilities are also more outstanding."
"Then Spirit Hall? Does Spirit Hall follow one stream?"
Tang San asked.
Grandmaster lowered his voice:
"Spirit Hall has never expressed support of any side. Spirit Masters of both streams of thought enter Spirit Hall, but strangely there has never been any internal conflict between them. Our Shrek Academy is actually considered to be following a half balanced, half extreme limit route. Or you might say, extreme individuals, balanced as a group. After many years of research, this is what I believe to be the most suitable route to cultivate."
"Individual strength, or a bit extreme is comparatively preferable. This can let one's strength increase to the maximum. As for later lacking endurance of having weak points, that can be completely complemented by relying on teammates. In a team, if each person can be expert in one extreme ability, and complement each other, then this team will succeed. Strength will inevitably be above equal level teams. Do you see what teacher means?"
Tang San said in a flash of understanding:
"So it's like that. Extreme limit flow and balanced flow each have their characteristics. Then in other words, for all these years, balanced flow has always held the advantage?"
Grandmaster laughed grimly,
"No, I should say it's the fusion flow that's held the advantage. I'm not the first person to propose fusing the extreme limit flow and balanced flow. The ones who truly raised this proposal was Spirit Hall. Only, Spirit Hall doesn't show off this idea. But each team Spirit Hall has sent to participate in the competition has used it. Consequently, the champions of the previous several Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament have also all been from Spirit Hall."
Tang San frowned:
"Since Spirit Hall knows these mysteries, why doesn't it take the initiative to come forward? With their authority in the Spirit Master world, they could completely..."
Grandmaster shook his head,
"This involves politics, influence, and all sorts of interests. It's not as easy as you think by far. You're still young. It's fine if you don't pay attention to these things yet. What you must do now, is to improve your own strength as far as possible. If you want to take the championship, you only have one true opponent. That is the team dispatched from Spirit Hall. Even though I can't be certain just what degree their strength has reached, I think that their ferocity will certainly be above the Emperor Team and the five great elemental academies. Spirit Hall's true strength is far greater than anyone imagines."
As he spoke, a terrified light flashed unconsciously through Grandmaster's eyes, as if he had thought of some frightening scene.
Tang San suddenly raised his head, saying:
"Teacher, I'll go back to the Academy first."
Grandmaster looked startled a moment,
"You're not watching the competition?"
Tang San nodded,
"My Three Aperture Governing Heart still isn't skillful. You're right rather than researching others, it would be better to strengthen myself. The strength of these five great elemental academies should all be similar to the Elephant Armored School. Even though they're strong, just as you said, if we went out with our full strength, defeating them wouldn't be challenging. In order to face our true opponents, it would be best to raise our own strength."
Over this week, besides competing, Tang San had carried out special cultivation every day.
His Three Aperture Governing Heart was cultivated completely while fused with the surroundings. Communicating with the wild Blue Silver Grass in the forest each day had already become a mandatory course for him.
Continuing for a week, he had discovered that his spirit power promotion speed had clearly increased, and his Blue Silver Grass Spirit had also quietly changed in some way.
Tang San couldn't say what the internal change was, but he was certain it was completely in a beneficial direction.
Right now his control of Blue Silver Grass was even more harmonious, each strand of Blue Silver Grass spreading with a thought. Further adding the effect of Three Aperture Governing Heart, even though his spirit power hadn't increased, Tang San could clearly feel himself progressing in control capability.
