A Sweeping Victory, Ma Hongjun's Fifth Spirit Ring
Because Huang Yuan knew that Xiao Wu's Third Spirit Ability was Teleportation, and that the maximum distance was only about five meters, he kept his distance from Xiao Wu waited for her to launch an attack, so as not to be caught off guard by her Charm.
Huang Yuan and Xiao Wu could be considered relatively gentle. Seeing that Xiao Wu Huang Yuan take the initiative to attack, Xiao Wu moved her small feet lightly, gradually closing the distance between her and Huang Yuan.
She is suited to a one-hit kill, and once she strikes, she almost always has only one chance, because her opponent will definitely be more careful next time, so she won't rush and can remain calm.
The second Spirit Dueling Platform was tough. Jing Ling had already sustained injuries in several places, and his blood had flowed onto the Spirit Dueling Platform. However, Zhu Zhuqing did not defeat him directly because his Bone-Grinding Soul Claw contained a poison that could increase her Soul Power consumption.
To avoid getting hurt, Zhu Zhuqing always relied on speed to attack, attempting to wear down her opponent in this way.
The next moment, a halo fell on Jing Ling, and his injuries were rapidly healing, rendering Zhu Zhuqing's previous attacks futile.
"First Spirit Ability: Healing Halo!"
This is Jiang Zhu's First Spirit Ability. At this time, Huang Yuan and Xiao Wu have not yet engaged in a real battle, so she only needs to assist Tai Long and Jing Ling, and her Soul Power is more than enough.
Before long, Jing Ling's injuries were completely healed. Zhu Zhuqing frowned. She knew she couldn't wait any longer; if she continued like this, she would only be worn down by the other party.
Just then, Tang San Spirit Dueling Platform, Xiao Wu on the No. 3 Spirit Dueling Platform, and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a glance. The next moment, Zhu Zhuqing transformed into a black shadow again and rushed towards Jing Ling.
Xiao Wu also stopped hesitating and quickened her pace, approaching Huang Yuan who was circling around her.
At this moment, Tang San had already approached Tai Long. Tang San saw the sinister smile on Tai Long's lips. The next moment, countless Blue Silver Grass surged out in front of Tang San, and he no longer cared about the consumption of his Soul Power.
What they need to do is first deplete the opponent's Soul Power, so that Jiang Zhu can use her support skill, and then go all out to attack, leaving Jiang Zhu's support unsure of who to target for a while.
Tai Long's massive fist slammed down, shattering the surging Blue Silver Grass, and continued its relentless attack towards Tang San.
Tang San remained unfazed, using his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track Steps to instantly dodge Tai Long's fist, then moved behind Tai Long and quickly continued to retreat.
At this moment, Tai Long, who was at his peak, continued his pursuit, only to be engulfed once again by countless Blue Silver Grass.
Tai Long felt extremely frustrated, but his movements were not slow. He frantically tore at the Blue Silver Grass that wrapped around him, while Tang San released several more Blue Silver Grass to bind the "zongzi" and used the Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon technique to swing the entire "zongzi" into the air.
Tai Long, inside the rice dumpling, sensed something was wrong, but it was too late. He was roughly thrown off the Spirit Dueling Platform.
Tang San couldn't completely bind him with Blue Silver Grass, but he could still win the Soul Fighting using this method.
However, Tang San had recklessly consumed too much of his Soul Power, and now his Soul Power was almost exhausted. He sat cross-legged on the Spirit Dueling Platform to recover his Soul Power.
When Tai Long finally broke free from the Blue Silver Grass's restraints, he was already below the Spirit Dueling Platform. Seeing Tang San meditating and recovering on the Spirit Dueling Platform, Tai Long was furious.
If the opponent defeats him fair and square from the front, then Tai Long will not be angry at all. On the contrary, he will admire the opponent from the bottom of his heart, just like Oscar back then, who defeated him without even using his Martial Soul.
Although Tai Long was angry, he knew that this was a battle between Soul Master. Control System Spirit Master did have a certain restraining effect on other Soul Master. However, Tai Long did not expect that Tang San's Trash Spirit, Blue Silver Grass, would have such a powerful control ability.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, Tai Long slammed his fist into the ground, glanced at Tang San with an unfriendly look, and then turned his gaze to the other two Spirit Dueling Platform.
He did lose this time, but there are still Jing Ling and Huang Yuan. In a sense, he was eliminated, so Jiang Zhu can assist Jing Ling and Huang Yuan more effectively.
Although Jing Ling and Huang Yuan are at a disadvantage in terms of Soul Power Level, they have the support of Jiang Zhu, Support System Spirit Master, to make up for it.
However, they all overlooked one issue, which is the combat awareness and combat instinct of the Soul Master himself. Tai Long and the others were indeed geniuses of the academy in the past, but they did not experience the kind of training that Zhu Zhuqing and the others had.
If the two sides are evenly matched, then combat awareness and regular training will become the key to victory.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing's unparalleled speed prevented Jing Ling from launching an effective attack against her. However, thanks to Jiang Zhu's healing and Soul Power recovery, Jing Ling was not completely at a disadvantage.
However, the simultaneous riot by Tang San and Xiao Wu distracted Jiang Zhu, especially when Tai Long was eliminated, she was completely stunned.
Tai Long was once the top student in the academy, and his strength is beyond doubt, but now he is the first to be eliminated.
At that very moment, both Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing moved.
Zhu Zhuqing launched her Second Spirit Ability: Netherworld Hundred Claws, in a frontal attack. Jing Ling used her Third Spirit Ability to launch a frenzied attack to defend, and even seemed to be suppressing Zhu Zhuqing's rhythm.
Jing Ling's Third Spirit Ability can amplify his attack speed and attack power, but Zhu Zhuqing only uses the Second Spirit Ability.
Just when Jing Ling thought she had the upper hand, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly retreated and came to Jing Ling's side. Her Third Spirit Ability, which she had been holding back, finally found the best opportunity.
"Third Spirit Ability: Netherworld Slash!"
This is Zhu Zhuqing's strongest single-target attack Soul Skill. Taking advantage of the gap in speed, Zhu Zhuqing's attack directly rendered Jing Ling unable to fight. When he was about to counterattack again, Zhu Zhuqing's sharp claws, gleaming with cold light, were already pressed against his neck.
Jing Ling looked somewhat dejected. "I lost..."
On the third Spirit Dueling Platform, Xiao Wu seized the opportunity to use her Second Spirit Ability, Charm, to put Huang Yuan into a brief daze. When Huang Yuan recovered, Xiao Wu disregarded the consumption of her Soul Power and used her Teleportation twice to appear behind him.
Long Scorpion Braid wrapped around Huang Yuan's neck, hands gripped his shoulders, and two slender, straight legs pressed against his lower back. The First Spirit Ability, yellow on the surface of her body, lit up.
"First Spirit Ability: Waist Bow!"
As his Soul Skill was activated, Huang Yuan's body flew out like a cannonball, crashing heavily onto the Spirit Dueling Platform. He spat out a mouthful of blood and immediately fainted.
Among Soul Master of the same level, even a typical Assault System Spirit Master would almost instantly lose his combat ability if hit by Xiao Wu's close-range Waist Bow, let alone Huang Yuan.
However, even as Jing Ling and Huang Yuan were defeated, Jiang Zhu's support did not stop. Three Soul Ring, two yellow and one purple, lit up one after another on her body, trying to minimize the damage to the two.
At this moment, Tang San had already stood up and looked at Oscar with Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu, with smiles on his face.
Oscar smiled slightly, tossed three Super Recovery Great Sausage to them, then lightly stepped over to Jing Ling and Huang Yuan, giving each of them a Super Recovery Great Sausage.
Oscar turned to look at Jiang Zhu: "You did well. You're barely qualified as a Support System Spirit Master, but in my opinion, it's far from enough."
Jiang Zhu paused for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled and nodded to Oscar: "I understand, Captain. I will continue to work hard from now on."
Oscar then looked at Tai Long Spirit Dueling Platform, raising an eyebrow. "Now? Any other ideas?"
Tai Long clenched his fist and then replied, "A loss is a loss. We'll accept the consequences of our bet. From now on, we'll do whatever the captain tells us to do."
"Good!" Oscar smiled slightly, "Today is just the first time. There will be many more battles like this in the future. I hope to see your progress."
Upon hearing this, Huang Yuan, who had just woken up, exchanged a glance with Jing Ling and then replied, "Understood, Captain. We will continue to work hard in our cultivation."
Oscar nodded, then looked at Tang San and the other two. "You did well, at least you passed this time."
Oscar then returned to his seat in the spectator area and slowly said, "There are less than nine months left until the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament. In the remaining time, I hope you can all go all out and strive to achieve a good ranking in this tournament, to bring glory to the academy, and to prove yourselves."
Everyone replied in unison, "Understood!"
Oscar said, "You've all been exhausted these past few days. I'll give you three days to rest. After three days, your good days will be over..."
Afterwards, everyone went to the cafeteria for a meal. After the meal, Oscar called Ma Hongjun and Ning Rongrong aside.
Oscar said to Ma Hongjun, "Hongjun, you're level 50 now. I've already asked your teacher to prepare your Fifth Spirit Ring. When the time comes, go to Mori Town, and someone there will take you to resolve your Fifth Spirit Ring issue."
Ma Hongjun felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing this, and nodded in reply, "I understand, boss. When should I set off?"
Oscar thought for a moment, then said, "Today is fine, it'll be just in time for tomorrow's lunch."
Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun was even more overjoyed. He was about to advance to the Spirit King level, and after that, he would be considered a powerful figure in the Spirit Master World.
Moreover, he is not even fourteen years old yet, which is an achievement that is unprecedented on the entire continent. After all, Oscar was already fifteen years old when he was promoted to Spirit King.
However, Ma Hongjun's situation is special. He took Whale Rubber and Phoenix Nirvana Pill from a young age to build his foundation. With a good foundation, he worked even harder to cultivate. His current achievements are actually due to his own efforts.
Then Ma Hongjun looked at Ning Rongrong, making Ning Rongrong a little embarrassed, before Ma Hongjun said hesitantly, "Rongrong, then I won't go hunting for Soul Ring with you this time."
Ning Rongrong didn't care about these things, since Oscar had already prepared Soul Ring for Ma Hongjun, which must be very suitable for Ma Hongjun.
Ning Rongrong smiled slightly, "Congratulations on having such a good boss. He has even prepared the Soul Ring for you. You don't need to worry about it."
Ma Hongjun scratched his head sheepishly and chuckled, "Hehe, he's my boss, it's only natural that he's good to me."
Oscar ignored Ma Hongjun and turned to Ning Rongrong, saying, "Rongrong, your three current Soul Skill are strength, speed, and Soul Power amplification. I think you should choose Defense System Soul Beast for your Fourth Spirit Ability. What do you think?"
Ning Rongrong thought for a moment after hearing this and then said, "I have no problem. The advantage of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is that we don't need to worry about the attributes of the Soul Ring. As long as we have an additional Soul Ring, the amplification effect will also increase. There is no favoritism. So I will listen to my Senior Student."
Oscar smiled upon hearing this, "That's good. You're already level 39, and you should be able to break through to level 40 within two or three months. I'll help you find your Fourth Spirit Ring during this time, so you won't have to waste time on it."
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong chuckled, her joy evident. Although with the power of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Rongrong certainly wouldn't need to worry about her Fourth Spirit Ring, she was naturally happy to receive Oscar's kindness.
After all, Ning Rongrong now understands that the sect has formed an alliance with the Sword Sect behind Oscar, and their relationship has become even closer. Ning Rongrong now considers Oscar, this strict Senior Student, as an older brother.
So, the younger sister was naturally happy to receive her brother's kindness.
Having resolved the issues between Ma Hongjun and Ning Rongrong, Oscar took Ning Rongrong back to the villa, while Ma Hongjun set off for Mori Town on his own.
After three months of construction and reform, with ample funds and manpower, Mori Town now possesses the grandeur and scale of a major sect. Although many details still need improvement, it is already sufficient to serve as a true stronghold.
Therefore, in order to hone the disciples of the sect, Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi personally captured some Soul Beast and put them into the newly built Beast Arena to train the sect's disciples.
Ma Hongjun's Fifth Spirit Ring is currently locked in the Beast Arena; Ma Hongjun just needs to deal with it himself.
However, Oscar didn't let Ma Hongjun get his Fifth Spirit Ring so easily. Oscar told Dugu Bo through his clone that all he needed to do was injure the Blazing Fire Phoenix and stabilize his strength at around level 50.
If Ma Hongjun wants this Fifth Spirit Ring, then let him kill it himself; otherwise, he can just wait there.
If he didn't even have this much strength, then Ma Hongjun wouldn't deserve such a good Fifth Spirit Ring.
Dugu Bo fully supports Oscar's approach. After all, true Soul Master should be honed in this way to unleash their true potential and give Soul Master unwavering confidence.
