"The next match will be between Shrek Academy and Balak Academy."
"Let's take a look at the data of the two participating academies first."
As the host finished speaking, Tai Long and Lo Fuki walked onto the stage.
"In the first match, Balak Academy sent their captain, Lo Fuki, a level 42 Spirit Master. However, their opponent today is Shrek Academy, which performed brilliantly in the preliminaries and won the Heaven Dou Division championship."
"Tai Long, please give me more advice. Let's focus on learning from each other. Harmony is the most important thing." Lo Fuki changed his attitude and greeted Tai Long with a smile.
"I will." Tai Long rubbed his hands and smiled.
"The game begins!"
As soon as the referee's voice fell, four spirit rings appeared around Tai Long. Tai Long was no longer a three-ring Spirit Master but a four-ring Spirit Master. Thanks to Ye Feng's care, Tai Long had improved his physique with the help of high-level medicinal materials. His spirit power had also been greatly improved.
In addition, Lo Fuki was a power-type fighter, and his martial spirit quality was one level lower than Tai Long's. Tai Long defeated Lo Fuki without even using his third spirit skill.
Bang!
Tai Long punched out and knocked Lo Fuki out of the ring.
"Ah!" Lo Fuki screamed. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth as he cried, "Didn't we say that the competition was the main thing?"
"Hmph!" Tai Long smirked. "Dare to target Shrek Academy? This is the consequence. Just because you don't say it doesn't mean you've forgotten it."
"Next!"
As the referee's voice fell, the people from Balak Academy were furious. They all jumped onto the ring.
"What are you doing?" the referee asked.
"Referee, I suspect they are retaliating wantonly." The players from Balak Academy pointed at Tai Long.
"What, are you not convinced after losing?" The referee did not favor Balak Academy but reminded them, "Lo Fuki is not dead, so Shrek Academy did not violate the rules of the competition. The match continues. If Balak Academy insists on making trouble, they will be disqualified."
With the referee's warning, the players from Balak Academy were still full of anger but left the ring obediently. Under the referee's supervision, the competition continued.
Tai Long had undergone cleansing with high-grade medicinal materials and was no longer the same as before. He went on to defeat several players from Balak Academy in succession.
"Shrek Academy wins!"
"Shrek Academy wins!"
"Shrek Academy wins!"
Such voices rang out five times in succession.
"It's the last game. If Balak Academy loses this round, then they will suffer a humiliating 1-on-7 defeat at the hands of Shrek Academy. Doesn't Balak Academy have anyone who can fight?"
The referee's words made the teacher leading Balak Academy look ashamed. Helplessly, they sent another player—a four-ring Spirit Master.
1-on-7!
After all, this was an extremely humiliating outcome for any academy.
The Balak Academy spirit master had a sunflower as his martial spirit.
Buzz—
The sunflower bloomed with dazzling light, making Tai Long's vision blur slightly.
"You have to pay the price for your actions. We agreed to focus on competition, yet you retaliated wantonly!" The Balak Academy spirit master cursed.
"Then bring it on. A loser whose first spirit ring is white dares to yell at me?" Tai Long stood there fearlessly.
That's right. Although this member of Balak Academy was a Spirit Master, his first spirit ring was only ten years old. His second spirit ring was also ten years old.
Meanwhile, all of Tai Long's spirit rings were of standard configurations.
"The match begins!"
First Spirit Skill: Blooming Fame!
A glowing mist spread across the field, forming a series of strong winds that bound Tai Long.
The light mist had a hypnotic effect, and Tai Long, shrouded in it, felt drowsy. He swayed in place as if he might fall at any moment.
Second Spirit Skill: Blooming Trend!
Immediately afterward, flames spewed from the opponent's sunflower, attacking Tai Long.
First Spirit Skill: Rock Shield!
Just as everyone was worrying about Tai Long, he suddenly snapped awake. At the same time, he activated his first spirit skill, summoning a shield to block the attack from the Balak Academy member.
"What's going on? Why aren't you affected?" The Balak Academy member looked stunned.
"Hmph. A mere ten-year spirit ring skill, and you think you can put me to sleep?" Tai Long smirked proudly.
There was a wound on Tai Long's left hand. Perhaps many people hadn't noticed why he woke up and resisted the control of the opponent's sunflower-based skill.
The answer was simple—Tai Long clenched his fist tightly, using pain to force himself to stay awake.
Third Spirit Skill: Solar Spray!
Failing to land a hit, the Balak Academy spirit master immediately used his third skill. A golden light burst from the sunflower, spraying toward Tai Long.
"You have no chance!" Tai Long declared.
He leaped high into the air, dodging the attack. At the same time, his own third spirit ring glowed with a purple light.
Third Spirit Skill: Source of Power!
Fourth Spirit Skill: Shock of Power!
From above, Tai Long locked onto his target and swooped down like a meteor.
Source of Power: Increases Tai Long's strength by 50%.
Then, Tai Long activated Shock of Power, doubling his overall strength to 100%.
Bang!
Tai Long's fist crashed into the Balak Academy spirit master.
The ground beneath them caved in by 20 to 30 centimeters. As for the Balak Academy spirit master, he lay motionless on the ground. Though he wasn't dead, he had suffered injuries that would likely leave permanent hidden wounds.
All of his ribs were shattered. The bones around the impact point were completely crushed.
"This match... Shrek Academy wins! Congratulations to Shrek Academy for a one-on-seven victory in the first qualifying match!"
"One-on-seven!"
The audience erupted in shock.
A one-on-seven victory—it was unbelievable!
"If I remember correctly, Tai Long is a substitute player for Shrek Academy, right?" Emperor Xue Ye asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Ning Fengzhi nodded.
"It's truly surprising that a substitute player from Shrek Academy could single-handedly defeat seven opponents," Emperor Xue Ye remarked, stroking his beard in admiration for the small yet formidable Shrek Academy.
"Your Majesty, someone from Shrek Academy once said that they have no substitutes. Every player is a main player. They are indistinguishable from one another."
"Oh? Who said that?"
"Your Majesty, it was Ye Feng."
"Ye Feng… Is he the disciple accepted by Chen Xin?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. Tai Long's strength is largely thanks to Ye Feng's guidance. Your Majesty, whoever wins Ye Feng over will gain the world."
"Master Ning, isn't your evaluation of Ye Feng a bit too high? Is he truly superior to the Grandmaster?"
"Your Majesty, you should know what kind of person the Grandmaster is. Ye Feng is different. In addition to his deep understanding of martial spirits, he also proposed the Martial Spirit Yin-Yang Theory."
"The Martial Spirit Yin-Yang Theory?"
"Your Majesty, for the specifics, you should ask Ye Feng himself. I only know a little about it." Ning Fengzhi smiled.
"Well, you are right. I should find an opportunity to meet him," Emperor Xue Ye mused, stroking his beard.
However, he did not look at Tai Long, the victorious fighter. Instead, his gaze remained on Ye Feng, who remained calm, as if Tai Long's victory had been entirely within his expectations.
