Chapter 15

The exam period has ended while the tournament continues. Wang yan had brought up Yuhao in front of Xuan Lao but was rejected as not only was Yuhao's spirit rank below 20, he only posessed one '10 year old spirit ring'.

Long Chen needed to return to cultivate and keep Ma Xiao Tao's demonic flames in check. he was dissapointed that he couldn't keep on watching the new student tournament. However, he did made sure that he could, at least, be there for the finals.

For the next few days, Long Chen spent his time concentrated on improving his power and level of control over his skills until the day of the final match. Long Chen went there with Headmaster Yan in his disguise.

He, who is standing beside a big shot like the headmaster, incurred the curiousity of the surrounding students.

"Wei Lun" Headmaster Yan calls out to Director Du who was standing nearby them while staring down at the competing participants, "In today's match who do you think will win?"

"Ah, Dai Huabin's team probably. Their strength greatly exceed their opponents." Director Du answers honestly.

"Eh? Director Du believes Dai Huabin's team will win? Then, I bet the other team will win. HAHAHA!" A loud voice came from behind them. It is none other than Qian Duo Duo, the Vice Headmaster of Spirit Guidance Department in Shrek with Teacher Fan Yu behind him.

"Qian Duo Duo, you've come to?"

"I was just passing by. I heard you were discussing the match, wanna play a little wager with me? Lao Yan, do you wanna play?"

"Hmph, are you here to harass the Wuhun group again?" Headmaster Yan retorts.

"Who says they will be Wuhun group, they are still new students, they haven't picked yet! So do you wanna wager? Hurry it up!"

"Hmph! Is this how you make money? I ought to report you to Lin Er."

"You little! even wehn you were young, you would always use in Er to defend yourself! Have you no shame!"

"How about you!"

As the two continue to bicker, Long Chen went ahead and greeted Teacher Fan Yu first.

"This voice...Long Chen? So you are also here?" Vice Headmaster Qian turns around.

"Hello, Headmaster Qian." Long chen greets respectfully.

"HAHA, so rare for you to be not training. I hardly ever see you."

'How much do I train for so many people to comment on that...Am I that much of a training maniac?'

"Anyway, what do you wanna bet?"

"If I predict the right team, I want to be able to take a pupil from the Wuhun group and you can't stop me."

"What! No Way! I knew you were up to no good!!"

"Don't rush. I won't pick anyone that is a core pupil. And two, I won't anyone that was able to be rank 30 when they graduate from the 2nd year. How about it?"

"Eh? Really, you won't pick anyone that is a core pupil and ablve rank 30?"

"Hmph, I am a man of my words."

"Ok, ok. But if you lose, you must give me 100 high explosive spirit weapons."

"What?! 100!! Aren't you the greedy one!"

"Oh no. It's not like I wanted to bet."

"50!"

Ans just like that Vice-headmaster Qian easily fell into Headmaster Yan's trap.

"Deal."

"Eh?"

Headmaster Yan laughed joyfully while the vice-headmaster Qian could onyl grit his teeth in anger. But his angry expression turned into a smirk.

"Vice-headmaster Qian seems to be very happy." Long Chen comments.

"HAHA!! Of course, I am. This wager is already mine."

"Well, you're not wrong."

"Oh, you also think Tean Yuhao will win?"

"Most likely."

"I knew you always had good eyes. Too bad for that Lao Yan!"

"But, aren't you afraid that he will go back on his words?"

"See if he dares to! I have Lin Er to back me up!"

"haha..." the image of such a big buff fully grown-up man hiding behind the back of a girl appears in his head. 'What a scene it will be...'

Long Chen turns his attention to the match that will be begining below and saw Dai Huabin, the boy he also hasn't seen for years. 'I knew what he would turn out to look like from the manhua but his personality really did took a turn for the worse....' Long Chen commented in his head.

"Both sides come up!!"

Both teams step up to the platform and introduced themselves.

"Huo Yuhao"

"Wang Dong"

"Xiao xiao"

"Dai Huabin"

"Zhu Lu"

"Cui Ya Jie"

"Both sides go to your corner." The judge directed. "Match----Begin!!"

Both teams charged at each other, releasing their spirit essence. Dai Huabin's transformation attracted the most attention. His originally blond hair turns white with large claws resembling that of a tiger with small fangs in his mouth.

"It appeared!"

"That is the spirit essence passed through generations in the white tiger clan."

The pink haired girl with the fox spirit essence was the first to strike, she attempted to take down Yuhao with her charm type skill but it failed. "Eh? No affect at all!"

Zhu Lu cut in between the two with her speed. "You are my target."

"You take care of the control spirit master. Leave this one to me!" Dai Huabin instructed and went head to head with Wang Dong.

With Yuhao and Wang Dong taken, Ya Jie went to fight Xiao xiao.

Unfortunately for them, Yuhao had already predicted this outcome. He used his mental disruption skill to attack Ya Jie, giving Xiao xiao the chance to defend Yuhao from Zhu Lu with her cauldrons. The girl managed to change her direction and avoid slamming against the cauldrons.

Wang Dong, on the otherhand, was took a hit from Dai Huabin and is sent back.

"Wang Dong, are you okay?" Yuhao asks in concern but couldn't take his eyes off of his opponent.

"Che! Nothing serious."

"You dare challenge me! You don't know your place!! Die!!" Dai Huabin charges at both of them with his power on full display. Wang Dong faced him head on, activating one of his spirit skills. His wings turned sharp with golden outline.

"You still haven't had enough? Using your little wings against me again?" Dai Huabin mocks, but notices that something was different about this attack and dodged in caution but not before releasing an attack from his mouth at Wang Dong.

Wang Dong jumps up to dodge the attack and lands on Yuhao's shoulders. All of this was a part of Yuhao's plan to get rid of Ya Jie, who was right behind Dai Huabin.

Wang Dong activates his thousant-year old spirit ring attack and the target is her. The girl herself knew that she could not dodge the attck due to the distance so she had to block it or disrupt it. Ya Jie chose the latter and launches an attack on Yuhao with her tail.

'Hehe, in the previous match, Yuhao lost. His spirit level is low, he can't evade at all.' or so she though until Yuhao uses his spirit eye's skill and easily avoided her attack just by taking a step back while maintaining balance since Wang Dong still on his shoulders.

'What He evaded my attack? What kind of move was that? It was like an illusion.' Her thought process was interupted as Wang Dong begins his attack, 'This is bad.'

If it weren't for the judge, who protected her, she would've been quite injured. However, thsi means it has become a 3 vs 2 battle. Dai Huabin was also caught up in the attack but he was protected by his white tiger golden aura and suffered no injuries. He charges at the two boys once again with a battle cry.

'Oh, this is getting more heated up. Kinda remind me of the time I fought Yaoheng.' Long Chen is just there standing by the side, watching with amusement.

As their opponent got close, Yuhao uses mental disruption to inflict damage on Dai Huabin, also giving Wang Dong and opening to attack. Wang Dong uses his guillotine wings to pierce his chest. Dai Huabin could only block the said attack with his forearms which bled from the attack.

Both Wang Dong and Dai Huabin released both of their thousand year old spririt ring attack ability.

The spectators could only wonder who would come out on top in this exchange.
