Defeating Blazing Academy
After only a moment's thought, Huo Wu made her choice.
If she were to concede so easily, they would have chosen to forfeit the match from the start. Now that she is standing on the Spirit Dueling Platform, she will not concede easily, even if her opponent's strength is beyond her expectations.
Huo Wu, who had been motionless, finally made a move. She didn't dodge at all, as if she was letting Xiao Wu get close and letting Tang San's Blue Silver Blade approach...
Just as the Blue Silver Blade was ten meters away from Huo Wu and the two Support System Soul Elder, Huo Wu's third Purple Spirit Ring lit up.
Her Third Spirit Ring lit up, and a ring of crimson flames quietly appeared. It did not show any offensive behavior, but it deflected all the dozens of Blue Silver Blades and sent them flying back towards Tang San.
This is Huo Wu's Third Spirit Ability - Resisting Fire Ring, which has no attack power.
Its most distinctive feature is its ability to knock back all enemies and attacks within the range of the Resisting Fire Ring to a certain distance.
As for how far the projectile will travel and how to distinguish between enemies and allies, that depends on the Soul Master's control.
This Soul Skill seems to be used for survival, but when it appears in the hands of an excellent Control System Spirit Master, it is no longer so simple.
Just like now, Huo Wu was able to accurately deflect Tang San's Blue Silver Blade back along the same path, which is enough to prove that her control over this Soul Skill has reached the top level.
However, she seemed to have overlooked one point: Xiao Wu was not bounced away by her.
The moment she unleashed the second of her Third Spirit Ability, Xiao Wu finally used her hidden Third Spirit Ability.
The Resisting Fire Ring deflects enemies or various attacks within a certain range, while Xiao Wu uses her Teleportation skill to quietly pass through the gaps in the Resisting Fire Ring when it is fully formed.
With two consecutive Teleportation, Xiao Wu instantly arrived in front of Huo Wu. To Huo Wu's horror, Xiao Wu, who was already close, launched her fatal attack.
Xiao Wu's Scorpion Braid Entanglement directly around Huo Wu's neck. Before Huo Wu could react, she was lifted up by the Scorpion Braid. Xiao Wu grabbed Huo Wu's arms with both hands, activated her First Spirit Ability: Waist Bow, bent over, and thrust her legs into Huo Wu's waist.
The next moment, Huo Wu screamed and flew backward, crashing into the two Support System Soul Elder behind her before coming to a stop. Huo Wu, who was caught, spat out a mouthful of blood, clearly suffering serious injuries.
When Xiao Wu activates her First Spirit Ability: Waist Bow, her strength and burst damage increase by 100%, and for every level her Soul Power increases, her increase also increases by 1%.
Xiao Wu is now level 43. She started accumulating power after obtaining her First Spirit Ring at level 10. Now, after using her First Spirit Ability, her strength and burst damage have increased by a terrifying 130%.
Furthermore, Xiao Wu had previously watched the Blazing Academy's matches with Tang San and the others, and was well aware of Huo Wu's strength and her importance to the Blazing Academy. Therefore, Xiao Wu did not hold back at all in this attack.
Huo Wu's defense was not high to begin with, and the two Support System Soul Elder could not have predicted that Xiao Wu would have such a terrifying Spirit Abilities as Teleportation. Therefore, Xiao Wu's full-force attack was enough to make Huo Wu lose her fighting ability instantly. The reason why Xiao Wu was able to seize the gap in Resisting Fire Ring and use Teleportation to rush towards Huo Wu was because they had seen Huo Wu use this skill in the battle between the Blazing Academy and Elephant Armored Academy.
This skill is undoubtedly powerful in Huo Wu's hands, but it is not invincible, because the formation of the Resisting Fire Ring takes time, and that brief gap is enough for Xiao Wu to use Teleportation to rush in.
Furthermore, since Xiao Wu's third and Fourth Spirit Ability have never been revealed, not only the students of the Blazing Academy, but even the Sword Douluo, Ning Fengzhi, Salas, and other super strong individuals in the VIP seats would not be able to guess a Soul Master's unused skills.
"Xiao Wu!" Huo Wushuang Huo Wushuang with Dai Mubai, shouted angrily when he saw Huo Wu seriously injured.
Not only Huo Wushuang, but the rest of the Blazing Academy Team were also extremely shocked and furious. Huo Wu was the key to their entire team. If Huo Wu lost her fighting ability, then their entire team's strength would not even be able to be exerted by half.
The tens of thousands of spectators present erupted in cheers upon seeing Xiao Wu's sudden outburst; clearly, most of them had placed bets on the Shrek Academy.
This is understandable, after all, Shrek Academy has a powerful level 55 Spirit King like Dai Mubai. With him around, he can decide the outcome of most matches.
When Xue Ye, Chen Xin, Ning Fengzhi, Salas, and others in the VIP seats saw Xiao Wu's Third Spirit Ability, Teleportation, they couldn't help but sigh in amazement.
What a powerful skill this is! It's incredibly effective whether used for advancing or for survival.
Unfortunately, Xiao Wu had a delicate and beautiful sachet hanging at her waist. The grass inside concealed Xiao Wu's Soul Beast aura, so even Chen Xin, whose Soul Power Level and Spiritual Power had reached the level of Super Douluo of level ninety-six, could not see that her true identity was actually a Soul Beast Transformation.
The instant Huo Wu was knocked down, Xiao Wu charged straight at the two Support System Soul Elder.
Huo Wu has the Resisting Fire Ring skill for protection, but what do the two Support System Soul Elder have?
At this critical moment, Huo Wushuang hurriedly shouted, "We admit defeat! We admit defeat!"
After Huo Wushuang finished shouting, he yelled at the healing team on the sidelines, "Heal! Quickly heal Xiao Wu!"
Having taken a full-force Waist Bow from Xiao Wu, Huo Wu, who had almost no defense left, had already fainted. Her face was deathly pale, and there was blood on the corner of her mouth, clearly indicating that she had suffered a severe injury.
It is said that a younger sister is her older brother's precious treasure, and Huo Wushuang, as the older brother, was naturally extremely anxious at this moment.
After Huo Wushuang conceded defeat, Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Tai Long all stopped their attacks. This battle was still an almost overwhelming victory for them.
However, this battle exposed Tang San's Fourth Spirit Ability and Xiao Wu's Third Spirit Ability, meaning they had two less trump cards.
However, this is understandable, because those who have watched the Blazing Academy's matches know very well that the Blazing Academy Team, hosted by Huo Wu, can unleash terrifying fighting power.
If Xiao Wu hadn't made that instant dash to eliminate Huo Wu, then with Dai Mubai not using his full strength and Tang San's control skills almost completely ineffective, winning this match would have been incredibly difficult.
Therefore, revealing Tang San's Fourth Spirit Ability and Xiao Wu's Third Spirit Ability was actually the optimal solution.
The only downside was that their opponents later learned about the two Soul Skills that Tang San and Xiao Wu had kept, and were able to take countermeasures, preventing them from being caught off guard and instantly killed like the Blazing Academy Team.
Unlike the Huo Yun and Huo Yu, they wouldn't be directly covered by Tang San's firepower, causing them to be invaded by Tang San's Mandala Snake's venom from the very beginning, thus affecting their performance.
Quickly, under the full treatment of a Soul Emperor- level Healing System Soul Master, Huo Wu woke up. Her originally pale face regained some color, but she still looked somewhat unwell.
At the referee's signal, the fourteen members of the two teams stood in two rows again.
Huo Wu's expression at this moment was somewhat intriguing. She had always been a prodigy nurtured by the academy, and within the Five Elemental Academies, her strength was definitely among the top five, or even the top three.
To lose so easily to the Shrek Academy Team was an extremely unpleasant feeling.
Although the Shrek Academy Team was indeed strong, and Huo Wu was prepared for defeat, she never expected that her defeat would be so swift.
This battle was a huge blow to her, because she was not defeated by the powerful Spirit King Dai Mubai, but by Xiao Wu.
Both she and Xiao Wu had Soul Power Level of 43, but she was caught off guard and instantly eliminated by Xiao Wu's sudden burst of power. This feeling was extremely painful for Huo Wu.
The feeling of powerlessness—that you have no chance to use your strength before you can even use it—was a huge blow to Huo Wu.
"We'll meet again. Next time, you won't be so lucky." Huo Wu stared intently at Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu smiled calmly, "I'll be waiting anytime."
Xiao Wu completely disregarded Huo Wu's words. It's true that Huo Wu is indeed a genius, and her control and strength in previous matches were impressive, but Xiao Wu still retains her Fourth Spirit Ability.
Moreover, this is a team competition, not an individual competition, so even if Huo Wu is indeed very strong, what does Xiao Wu have to fear? When the competition on the Central Spirit Dueling Platform ended, most of the audience erupted in cheers like a tsunami, while only a small number of the audience who had bet on the Blazing Academy Team were dejected.
After this battle, Shrek Academy achieved an eleven-game winning streak, while Blazing Academy also achieved a ten-game winning streak and a one-game losing streak.
Although it was only one loss, they have already fallen out of the true top tier, because Thunderclap Academy, Godwind Academy, and Skywater Academy among the Five Elements Academy are all currently on winning streaks.
Amid cheers from the audience, both teams bowed and left the stage. Oscar waited for them at the end of the corridor and nodded with satisfaction.
"You performed very well. Now that you've decided to reveal more of your strength, then finish off your opponents with overwhelming force," Oscar commented.
Then he looked at Tang San and said, "Little San, your tactical arrangement is excellent. It seems that you have completely grasped the essence of Control System Spirit Master."
Upon hearing Oscar's words, Tang San nodded humbly, because he knew very well that his success today was all thanks to Oscar.
From the moment he entered Shrek Academy and severed ties with his former teacher Yu Xiaogang, and opened up to Oscar has been teaching him selflessly and without the one-sided pressure that Yu Xiaogang had exerted on him.
Because Oscar doesn't need Tang San to prove himself; he genuinely wants to nurture this genius with Twin Martial Souls.
Whether it was Whale Rubber, Spirit Bone, or the careful selection of the Third Spirit Ring and Fourth Spirit Ring, Tang San couldn't imagine what he would be like now if it weren't for Oscar and he was still being taught by Yu Xiaogang.
Especially today, when he used his Fourth Spirit Ability to dominate the entire battle, Tang San truly realized Oscar's strength, because all of his Soul Ring choices came from Oscar.
Oscar combined his Tang Sect Secret Arts with a carefully selected Fourth Spirit Ring that was almost 100% compatible with him. This not only allowed his Martial Soul to evolve, but also enabled him to integrate the Tang Sect Secret Arts with his Martial Soul.
Tang San looked at Oscar sincerely and said from the bottom of his heart, "Senior Student, everything Little San have today is thanks to your guidance. Although you are only two years older than me, in my heart, you are already Tang San teacher."
Oscar maintained his smile despite seeing Tang San's current state. Tang San had not yet become a God King. Although he was an assassin in his previous life, he was a malleable talent in terms of both potential and character if properly guided.
"Kid, stop getting emotional. Your achievements today are the result of your own hard work. I was just giving you some guidance." Oscar didn't take credit; as long as Tang San understood, that was enough.
Oscar then looked at the others and said, "You did well today. After all the matches are over, I'll take you to Lingyu Restaurant to relax."
"Yay!" Jiang Zhu and Xiao Wu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, their joy overflowing.
When the Shrek Seven Devils and their companions entered the players' rest area, both those who hadn't yet competed and those whose matches had already ended looked at them with a newfound sense of awe.
Today's near-total crushing victory over another Five Elements Academy team has undoubtedly boosted the confidence of the Shrek Academy members to its peak.
The Blazing Academy team members also returned to the rest area. They were naturally unwilling, but what could they do? As the match ended, they gradually calmed down.
Both Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu were surprisingly calm at this moment, because only they knew how many trump cards they still had up their sleeves.
Even if they revealed all their trump cards, they might not be able to defeat Shrek Academy, which has a level 55 Spirit King. However, by keeping their trump cards in reserve, they can avoid being targeted when facing other teams in the future. They can even continue their winning streak against other teams from the Five Elements Academy.
"Huo Wushuang, we'll avenge you in a few days." Just as the group from the Blazing Academy was feeling extremely frustrated, a magnetic voice rang out.
The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of contestants wearing cyan team uniforms walking towards them.
Their cyan team uniforms were decorated with silver thread embroidery, which complemented the uniforms of the Blazing Academy. They were none other than Godwind Academy, which was also one of the Five Elements Academy.
The one speaking was the soul of their team, Feng Xiaotian, the captain of the Godwind Academy Team.
Although he was speaking to Huo Wushuang, his gaze remained fixed on Huo Wu, and the burning passion in his eyes was impossible to conceal.
Huo Wushuang snorted coldly, "Just because we can't do it, does that mean you can?"
Feng Xiaotian chuckled and said, "Wushuang, you know that's not what I meant."
"The Shrek Academy Team is strong, but it is not invincible. At least... I am confident that I can deal with Dai Mubai."
Surprisingly, no one from the Blazing Academy refuted Feng Xiaotian's words.
Feng Xiaotian's Soul Power Level was only level 44, just one level higher than Huo Wu's. He was the highest Soul Power Level in the entire Heaven Dou Competition Area, apart from Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.
Even so, there was still a difference of eleven levels of Soul Power and a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring between him and Dai Mubai.
With the amplification of two Support System Soul Elder, Huo Wushuang, at level 42, barely managed to hold on against Dai Mubai, who only used his first and Third Spirit Ability. Given such a huge gap, how could Feng Xiaotian now claim that he was confident in dealing with Dai Mubai?
Most importantly, none of the people from the Blazing Academy refuted this.
The reason why the others in the Blazing Academy did not refute was because Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu did not refute. As for why Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu did not refute, no one knew.
Just then, Huo Wu suddenly spoke up, saying, "Feng Xiaotian, do you really want to date me?"
"Huh?" Feng Xiaotian's eyes widened. Although he had always had this idea, it was still embarrassing for Huo Wu to point it out to him in front of so many teammates.
"Is it true or not?" Huo Wu seemed unaware that many people around her were focusing their attention on her.
Feng Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Huo Wushuang beside him. Huo Wushuang was also surprised, not understanding why Huo Wu would say such a thing at this time.
He and Huo Wu are siblings, and he has always doted on his younger sister.
"Are you even a man? If you are, then you are; if you aren't, then you aren't. Can't you even speak properly?" Huo Wu's voice was cold, the exact opposite of her Martial Soul attribute.
"Yes, I've always liked you." Feng Xiaotian didn't want to become a laughing stock. If he didn't make a move at this point, he might never have the chance to pursue Huo Wu again.
Huo Wu nodded to him and said, "Alright, as long as you can defeat the Shrek Team, I'll agree to date you."
"Brother, let's go." After saying that, she took the lead and walked outside, leaving the group from the Godwind Academy staring in astonishment.
Huo Wu has lived in a pampered environment since childhood. Although she is a girl, she is the object of everyone's care, both at home and at the academy.
In addition, she is exceptionally talented and has always been at the top of her peers since childhood. At only nineteen years old this year, she has already reached a strength of over level forty, which is unprecedented in the history of the Blazing Academy.
Her pride is justified; she has every right to be proud—looks, ability, family background—but she is not stupid.
The reason he said this to Feng Xiaotian was not only to test Feng Xiaotian, but also to use Godwind Academy to weaken Shrek Academy.
Perhaps Feng Xiaotian can lead Godwind Academy to defeat Shrek Academy, but if not, then Feng Xiaotian, going all out, will definitely inflict heavy damage on the Shrek Academy.
When they encounter Shrek Academy again, as long as they lead their team to go all out and stop holding back, defeating Shrek Academy will be a piece of cake.
Only Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang themselves knew just how powerful their hidden trump cards Feng Xiaotian's full strength truly were.
P. S.: Typos will be corrected first and then fixed later.
