Tang San seemed to suddenly realize something, as a control system Spirit Master, his biggest concern was naturally the other side’s control system Spirit Master, asking Grandmaster:
“Teacher, in the end what does that Jade Phosphor Serpent Spirit Master use for control? As a snake spirit, it doesn’t seem like it would be expert in control.”
Grandmaster replied very simply, only using one word,
“Poison.”
Using poison to control the battle, Tang San’s pupils involuntarily contracted, but his mood was steady. Poison, what a familiar and dear word. Slightly nodding, saying:
“If it’s like this, then we still truly have a chance to defeat them.”
What was Tang Sect’s most prominent in? Lightness skill, hidden weapons, and also their famous poisons.
Although since coming to this world Tang San hadn’t had time to gather the required poisonous substances, let alone extracting Tang Sect toxins, he still had knowledge and understanding of poison, the essence of Tang Sect. A person using superior poison, naturally also had outstanding knowledge of and methods to resist poison.
Grandmaster misunderstood Tang San’s meaning,
“Oscar’s small sausage is only a second spirit ring ability, I’m afraid that when repeatedly resisting the Jade Phosphor Serpent’s poison it will only be able to restrain it for a short time, that’s all.”
Ning Rongrong said:
“Grandmaster, can I make a suggestion?”
Grandmaster nodded,
“Go ahead.”
Ning Rongrong said:
“In the spirit fight, our most important objective must be that auxiliary system Spirit Master.”
“Eh? Why?”
Hearing Ning Rongrong’s words, even Grandmaster couldn’t help but feel somewhat astonished. Even he hadn’t heard of the Nine Heart Flowering Apple spirit, such circumstances were extremely rare, but considering the two sides’ auxiliary system Spirit Masters, with Ning Rongrong’s Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, he had no concern this side would be weaker than the opponent.
Part 3 (TL by Bagelson)
Ning Rongrong said:
“I know of the Nine Heart Flowering Apple Spirit. Different from other spirits, this spirit is inherited in a single line, each generation can only have one successor. There can also only be two Nine Heart Flowering Apple Spirit Masters alive at the same time. Only when one dies is it possible for another to appear. It can be said to be the rarest spirit. My dad once said that the Nine Heart Flowering Apple is a marvel among spirits.”
Who Ning Rongrong’s father was, let alone Grandmaster, Flender and Zhao Wuji, even the other Shrek Seven Devils knew: the master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School. Representing the authority of auxiliary system Spirit Masters, if even he described a spirit like this, then, the scale of this spirit’s effect could well be imagined.
Regarding new and odd spirits, Grandmaster was always even more curious than ordinary people, immediately asking for details:
“Then what is this Nine Heart Flowering Apple’s effect? In what respect does its support effect appear?”
Ning Rongrong lowered her voice:
“The Nine Heart Flowering Apple only has one kind of effect. No matter how many spirit rings it has, it only has one spirit ability. This is also where it’s frightening. Its effect is in the scope of healing. The degree of healing is controlled by the Spirit Master’s intentions. The higher the rank, the more spirit rings, the more its healing can be used. My father said, with a Nine Heart Flowering Apple Spirit Master, even if you wanted to die it wouldn’t be easy. Therefore, after the fight starts, we have to first separate her from the stage, otherwise, until she runs out of spirit power, we will basically be unable to cause any injury to the opponents.”
Listening to Ning Rongrong, Grandmaster’s complexion seemed to become rigid, blankly standing for a long time, then slowly saying:
“This really is a close to perfect combination.”
“We can win.”
At this low point of morale, everyone falling silent, Tang San suddenly loudly spoke up, brimming with confidence. Everyone’s gazes turned to him.
“I say, we can win. Mubai, little Ao, Fatty, Xiao Wu, Rongrong, Zhuqing. Have you forgotten, we already possess a record of twenty seven successive victories. The opponent is admittedly powerful, but, we’re also not weak. We have Mubai as a first rate domination system Spirit Master. We have little Ao’s support to sustain out battle capability, we have Fatty’s top notch variation Battle Spirit and Xiao Wu’s mysterious Soft Skill, Rongrong, don’t tell me you believe your Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda can’t compare with Nine Heart Flowering Apple? Still Zhuqing, your speed is the fastest of any agility attack system Spirit Master I’ve ever seen. Although the opponents are powerful, don’t tell me we’re small and weak? No, we are certainly able to prove we’re even stronger than them. Even more, you mustn’t forget our age. I dare say, they’re older than us, even if we really lose then what about it? Failure is the mother of success, even if we aren’t their match today, inevitably there will be one day when we certainly will beat them. Victory inevitably belongs to us Shrek Seven Devils. If our confidence from successive victories is already lost, then, why should we still participate in spirit fights?”
Tang San’s words were like a fuse igniting everyone’s confidence. No member of the Shrek Seven Devils team lacked talent. Monsters among monsters. How could they be resigned to defeat?
No one spoke, but their expressions all became steady, Dai Mubai took the lead to extend his right hand, immediately followed by Oscar, Shrek Seven Devils, seven people’s palms folded over each other. Everyone’s gazes burned. The lost confidence was already retrieved, right now, their hearts were already brimming with intense fighting spirit.
“Teacher, this spirit fight, can I have full authority to plan it?”
Tang San steadily looked towards Grandmaster. He knew that this fight was their most challenging trial, the reason why he said this wasn’t that he was unwilling to see his companions’ lifeless appearance. As a person of two lives, he knew that if you wanted something, then you could only rely on your own effort to win it.
Before all their previous spirit fights, Grandmaster would give out tactical directions. But this time Tang San actively asked to take over Grandmaster’s work. Although it appeared somewhat arrogant, seeing it, Grandmaster, Flender and Zhao Wuji all nodded inwardly.
A team required tactics, required unity, required coordination, but they also couldn’t lack another thing, that was bloodthirst. A team without bloodthirst would never be able to rouse their deepest potential. And right now, Tang San as the team’s soul, already accomplished this bit.
To the three teachers it already seemed like victory wasn’t important, these children’s growth already surpassed their expectations. Right now all they could do was watch these children give them even more surprises and miracles, looking at what level they could reach in the end.
…...
Suotuo Great Spirit Arena, VIP resting area, VIP lounge number three.
The luxurious room was more than two hundred square meters, an immense leather sofa was more than fifteen meters, enough to let more than a dozen people rest comfortably. The room’s decorations were all gold; golden lanterns, golden wallpaper, and every kind of golden ornament, nothing detracting from a splendorous dazzling feeling. In front of the white leather sofa was a crystal side table, furnished with every kind of pastry and beverage. Most important, one wall of this room was a single transparent crystal, through which the outside clearly could be seen, but nobody could look in from the outside, and outside the crystal window was Suotuo Great Spirit Arena’s most important Central Main Spirit Arena.
Right now there were only seven people in the room, all seven each possessed clear characteristics, appearing to be twenty years old.
Sitting in the middle of the sofa was a black-haired slender youth, not considered handsome, f
acial expression very lacking, like the muscles of his face were rigid. Wearing blue skin tight clothes without any decoration, giving people a kind of uncomplicated impression, but against expectations this kind of simplicity made people feel he was very dangerous. He was leaning back in the sofa with his eyes closed, resting. Sitting next to him was a woman, her posture certainly not as ordinary, not leaning against the back of the sofa, rather leaning against the shoulder of the blue clothed youth, face with a lazy appearance, deep purple short hair giving a strong impression of heroic spirit. Astonishingly, she possessed a pair of green eyes that gave people a somewhat strange feeling, unable to say just why, but with a kind of bewitching charm. Right now she was leaning against the shoulder of the closed eyed youth, playing with her green painted fingernails.
“Yan, don’t always be so affectionate with the boss in front of the rest of us. Our brothers are all still a group of virgins, it’s no good if it arouses any urges. Hey.”
The speaker was a handsome youth, not tall, moderate weight, short golden hair, a pair of extremely active eyes, leaning against that giant crystal window with a leisurely appearance.
The young woman in the sofa shot him a glance, green eyes exuding an enchanting smile,
“Then you come, let big sister teach you how to become a man?”
“Ah, I’ll pass, only boss can survive your Jade Phosphor poison. I unfortunately can’t enjoy it.”
The youth hurriedly declined, face alarmed, looking at the green eyed young woman with clear dread.
“Serves you right. Who asked you to tease Yan.”
Directly across the room from the crystal window, dressed entirely in black, was an equally blonde person, appearing more elegant and younger than the woman, enjoying the spectacle while waving a drink in his hand.
The handsome youth angrily said:
“Leopard, what’s your meaning, wait until today’s team spirit fight is over, we’ll settle it one versus one. Watch me teach you a lesson.”
The black clothed youth snorted disdainfully,
“One versus one with me? You have some nerve. You, a flying Spirit Master, wants to go one versus one with a ground Spirit Master like me? Clearly it’s bullying. With skill, you try for a one versus one with the boss, let alone winning, as long as you can last three minutes, I’ll admire you.”
“You……”
Although the youth didn’t want to accept it, he had no choice but to concede. He was indeed unable to stand up to the captain for three minutes.
“Fine, be a bit quiet. Can’t you be as quiet and focused as the Shi brothers?”
The blue clothed youth sitting motionless in the sofa finally spoke up. The Shi brothers he spoke of sat on the floor by the wall, meditating cross-legged. Both were straight nosed and square jawed, built large and sturdy. Just sitting there they gave people a kind of heavy and unflustered feeling.
The handsome youth said:
“Boss, what do we still have to focus for? With us reaching silver spirit fight rank before fortieth rank, I dare say this Suotuo Great Spirit Arena absolutely can’t find us opponents. Let alone here, even if it was in the number one Imperial City Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena, there still wouldn’t be anyone that could stand up to us.”
The blue clothed youth calmly said:
“Even if that’s the case, you still can’t cultivate bad habits. The Spirit Master world’s powers come forth in great numbers, who can say for certain if even greater powers will appear before us. Lingling, you can sit on the sofa. Always standing like that will use up strength.”
His last words were directed at another woman standing in the room, that woman stood in the absolutely darkest corner of the room, not only entirely dressed in black, even her face was covered by a layer of black muslin. A graceful figure, long blue hair draped across her shoulders and back like a waterfall, eyes the same color as her hair not revealing any feelings. From her body could only be sensed loneliness and solitude.
“No need, I’m fine here.”
Xie Lingling’s voice was very pleasant, but completely empty, giving people a kind of unreal feeling.
The seven people in this room were precisely the members of the Emperor Team in Tang San’s group’s material. Sitting in the sofa was captain Yu Tian-Heng and vice captain Dugu Yan. The handsome youth was Wind Chime Bird Spirit Master Yu Feng. The black clothed man arguing with him was Ghost Leopard Spirit Master Osler. The two brothers sitting on the floor meditating were naturally the two Black Tortoise Spirit Masters. And standing in the corner was Emperor Team’s auxiliary system Spirit Master, Nine Heart Flowering Apple Xie Lingling.
Chapter 049: Seven Devils Versus Emperor Team
Part 1 (TL by Bagelson)
Suotuo Great Spirit Arena, in the highest level VIP area room number three, the Emperor Team’s members were waiting for the team battle to arrive. At that time, the door swung open, and a person entered from outside.
This person’s appearance made all the Emperor Team members spread out over the room perform the same action, even captain Yu Tian-Heng sitting in the sofa, even the Shi brothers sitting on the floor meditating opened their eyes. The seven people all stood up, making respectful salutes.
“Teacher.”
The person walking in from the door was a middle aged man, appearing thirty years old or so, ordinary appearance, simple black hair, simple and unadorned clothes, only his eyes were especially bright. He wasn’t as eye catching as the Emperor Team members, rather giving the impression of an entirely ordinary person. But, able to obtain the respect of all the Emperor Team members, how ordinary could he be?
The middle aged man’s complexion appeared somewhat strange, Emperor Team captain Yu Tian-Heng had never seen this kind of expression before, quietly stepping forward a few steps and lowering his voice:
“Teacher Qin, what’s going on?”
Light flashed in teacher Qin’s eyes, glittering black pupils displaying a deep lustre,
“This time, you will perhaps meet your match. I’ve just received the basic information on your opponents today from the city lord. This was determined just now by Suotuo Great Spirit Arena. Have a look.”
While speaking, he walked over to the sofa behind the crystal table and sat down, in his hand already holding shining cloth and silk, unfolding it on the tabletop.
The Emperor Team members all gathered round, looking at the cloth.
Vice captain Dugu Yan read:
“Shrek Seven Devils team, seven members, history unclear. Iron spirit fighter badge. Teacher, what’s with this iron spirit fighter Shrek Seven Devils team, are they qualified for a team spirit fight with us?”
Teacher Qin calmly said:
“That’s right. For the past month they indeed held iron spirit fighter badges. But, through spirit fights in this month, their total points have already reached the silver spirit fighter level. Although they still haven’t been calculated, Suotuo Great Spirit Arena has already decided to confer them silver spirit fighter qualifications in advance. Just in time to challenge you. According the the city lord, Shrek Seven Devils have participated in twenty seven team spirit fights. Twenty seven fights, twenty seven wins. How much time did you use to reach silver spirit fights? It wasn’t one month, but a whole year.”
To the side Wind Chime Bird Spirit Master Yu Feng somewhat unconvinced said:
“Then it’s because they haven’t met any formidable opponents. To so easily hold these victories. How can Suotuo City compare to our Imperial City?”
Shooting a glance at Yu Feng,
“According to the city lord’s investigation, Shrek Seven Devils’ first team spirit fight was against the Mad Battle Team you faced. You should clearly know the Mad Battle Team’s strength, their spirit power level wasn’t unlike yours, only somewhat lacking in spirit abilities and the spirits themselves to be able to defeat you.”
“Don’t tell me Shrek Seven Devils won?”
This time the speaker was the Black Leopard Sp
irit Master Osler.
Vice captain Dugu Yan gave him a look,
“Is there still a need to ask, teacher already pointed it out.”
Yu Tian-Heng continuously looked at the cloth information, suddenly saying:
“Teacher, their spirit power is so low, how are they able to beat the Mad Battle Team?”
Low? The Emperor Team members couldn’t help but again cast their glances to the cloth, carefully reading the material.
Shrek Seven Devils team.
Captain: Evil Eye White Tiger, spirit: White Tiger, thirty eighth ranked power attack system Spirit Master. Spirit rings: Two yellow, one purple.
Vice captain: Thousand Hands Asura, spirit: Blue Silver Grass, thirty second ranked control system Spirit Master. Spirit rings: Two yellow, one purple.
Member: Soft Bones Demon Rabbit, spirit: Jade Rabbit, thirty first ranked close quarters power attack system Spirit Master. Spirit rings: Two yellow, one purple.
Member: Evil Fire Phoenix, spirit: Evil Phoenix, twenty eighth ranked power attack system Spirit Master. Spirit rings: Two yellow.
Member: Hell Civet, spirit: Hell Civet, twenty eighth ranked agility attack system Spirit Master. Spirit rings: Two yellow.
Member: Sausage Monopoly, spirit: Sausage, thirty first ranked auxiliary system Spirit Master. Spirit rings: Two yellow, one purple.
Member: Seven Treasures Glazed Tile, spirit: Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, twenty seventh ranked auxiliary system Spirit Master. Spirit rings: Two yellow.
Underneath this team information was still an annotation: Shrek Seven Devils in this month obtained obtained a complete victory record in team battles, their true strength is not as simple as levels suggest. Among them, the control system Spirit Master Thousand Hands Asura is of particular note, this person’s control strength is extremely high, often capable of turning the tide.
Reading the material, Dugu Yan couldn’t help but giggle,
“Teacher Qin, who gave you this information, it could make the dead laugh. A Blue Silver Grass Spirit Master is unexpectedly of particular note, what ‘turning the tide’. I expect he probably can’t even stand up against my first spirit ability.”
