Ch 57: Sparring Part 2

they were embarrassed, but still surprised by Altair's tactics as they didn't expect it from him. they just thought that he was making fun of them.

Yu Xiaogang :"but ignoring how he just took the damage, he did the right thing when facing Tang San.

when facing a soul master of controlling branch, the best way is not giving him a chance to control you.

in the situation just now, he should have kept distance between himself and Tang San. but because of the overwhelming advantage of strength and defence, he solved it with brute force.

every soul master has his own merits and demerits. there's no perfect soul master in this world.

but there is a perfect team. the power of a person can't have the strongest strength. but a team with mutual understanding will be unbeatable."

the teenagers looked at each other as they nodded and high fived with a smile.

Yu Xiaogang continued :"right now, the 8, 9 if Ali separates, of you are a team. when you face enemies together, the first thing you should do, is to make up for each other's demerits, and to optimise everyone's merits.

now, I didn't think that Altair's martial soul would be so powerful that it could defeat you all combined without even using any of his soul rings.

so next, Dai Mubai, you'll fight Oscar and Ma Hongjun.

Dai Mubai :"yes, master."

as they all walked into the field, Dai Mubai being on one side, Ma Hongjun and Oscar being on the other side, Ma Hongjun said :"boss Dai, you wouldn't release your anger on me, right?"

Dai Mubai clenched his fist as he said :"stop the nonsense. let's start."

Oscar threw one of his sausages at Ma Hongjun who catched it and posed with sausages in each hand :"don't be afraid, fatty. I'll help you."

Ma Hongjun took a bite of the sausage in his hand as he said with a stuffed mouth :"the merging of Phoenix."

as they started, Ma Hongjun immediately used his soul ring :"second soul skill, firing bathing Phoenix."

Altair snickered as a part the top of Dai Mubai's hair was set on fire. thankfully though, he quickly put it out as he glared at Ma Hongjun while pointing at him :"you!"

but Ma Hongjun used the time that he was distracted to move his opposite side as he took a stance to use a move.

everyone looked at him with curiosity as Dai Mubai snorted with a smirk and used his own soul skills :"white tiger protection barrier. white tiger intense light wave."

both of them fired their long range attacks, fire from Ma Hongjun and light from Dai Mubai connected in the center of both of them and caused an explosion that was not big but not small either!

and to everyone's shock and surprise, Dai Mubai was the one who was pushed back and took a few steps to balance himself while placing his hand on his chest!

Ma Hongjun :"after the battle in star dou forest, I realized that using Phoenix firing line in firing bathing Phoenix can increase its force.

although it uses up much soul power, the effect is great. hehe {Michael Jackson is here again?!}, are you all right, boss Dai?"

Dai Mubai snorted as he activated his third soul skill and attacked him. but unfortunately for him, Ma Hongjun finished eating another sausage and as his slash was about to land, he jumped back and flew after growing wings!

yup, the sausage that he just ate was the mushroom sausage of Oscar's third soul ring which gave the flight ability of 1 minute at the speed of Phoenix tail crest serpent!

Ma Hongjun took flight as he mocked :"boss Dai, I'm not fighting alone." he wiggled his eyebrows as Dai Mubai looked aside and saw Oscar trying to hide.

Oscar immediately had a look of fear, but then straightened his back as he leaned on a wood and ran after wiggling his eyebrows at him as well.

but unfortunately, he got a little unlucky and tripped on a box after not looking out.

Ma Hongjun shot another fire at him again, but Dai Mubai dodged this time instead of fighting back. then he started chasing Oscar who was running away from him!

Dai Mubai :'you only have 1 minute. get rid of this assistant first. after 1 minute, the fight will end.'

Oscar created another mushroom sausage for himself and ate it while Dai Mubai got ready to use his soul skill again :"white tiger intense light wave."

but just when he was about to fire, Ma Hongjun interrupted him with a fire of his own!

Tang San :'although white tiger intense light wave can attack from a distance, the distance is only within 20 meters.'

as Tang San was thinking and analysing, Oscar created another sausage for Ma Hongjun :"I, your father, have a big sausage."

Ma Hongjun started attacking and firing at Dai Mubai from the sky as he recovered some of his soul power. and the only thing Dai Mubai could do, was keep dodging.

Tang San :'if it's extended further, a great amount of soul power will be used up. so much soul power was used in the previous fight. I'm afraid now..."

Oscar kept giving sausages to Ma Hongjun and he kept eating them as he kept shooting at Dai Mubai.

Tang San :'since Xiao Ao achieved level 30, he can make super recovery big sausage in a split second.

he keeps giving them to fatty effortlessly. with the support of sausages, fatty can obviously endure much longer.'

he was pulled out of his inner monologue by Yu Xiaogang who walked to his side :"Xiao San."

Tang San :"yes, master?"

Yu Xiaogang :"since you used your third soul skill to Mubai just now, so help him fight an opponent. Xiao Wu, show me your third soul skill."

Xiao Wu :"okay, master."

the other three continued their spar as Tang San walked to another party of the field with Xiao Wu hopping around to stand a distance in front of him :"Xiao San, you have to be careful."

Tang San didn't answer, but he took that advice and surrounded himself with blue silver plant as Xiao Wu stood with her back towards him :"Xiao San, do you have to be so alert?"

she scratched her chin cutely with her index finger and then looked back over her shoulder as her eyes turned pink!

Tang San gasped as he found out her plan, but it was too late as he had already fallen into her trap :'oh, no. that's Xiao Wu's second soul skill, charm."

Xiao Wu twirled and spun a little as she kept gently tapping her bottom lip with her index finger :"I've succeeded."

a pink mist surrounded about less than a meter of Tang San who was a little wobbly now because of the charm as his blue silver plant started to retreat into the ground :'I was silly.

if I had activated purple demon eye since I started, I wouldn't be so passive. that's the enemy of charm.

since we came to Shrek, I've not practiced with Xiao Wu. I was reckless this time.'

as the blue silver plant completely disappeared, Tang San got himself together as Xiao Wu rushed at him with a smirk!

Tang San immediately used his third soul skill :"third soul skill. constraint of spider web." which created a fence like wall in front of him to keep Xiao Wu away.

but the moment Xiao Wu jumped and was about to contact the fence like wall of blue silver plant, she disappeared into thin air!

Tang San kept his focus as he looked around, but Xiao Wu suddenly appeared out of nowhere from behind him and placed her feet on his shoulders!

she then pulled him off the ground as she grabbed his hand to stop him from defending as she activated her soul skill :"first soul skill, arched body."

but Tang San would be the shame of the "big shot or genius gets reincarnated" if just that took him out!

but even though he dodged, Xiao Wu wasn't one to give up as she didn't let go of his hands and tried to slam him to the ground with a grin :"Xiao San, you've lost."

Tang San kept his calm as he resisted :"No. constraint of spider web." blue silver grass grew out of the ball of light and tied their backs together as they began to fall to the ground.

seeing that Xiao Wu was the one who was going to hit the ground, he spun and switched their positions so that she wouldn't be harmed.

they fell down with Tang San supporting the fall with his chest and face as the fight of the other group seems to be coming to an end as well as Oscar struggled with making a sausage :"super... super recovery big sausage."

{should I keep writing it as the manhua version of I, your father blah blah, or should I write the anime version?"

the spectators sighed as they watched the fight as Yu Xiaogang decided to stop it with a stern gaze :"okay. you may stop now."

the moment he said that, Oscar stopped making another sausage as the time of his flight ended and landed face first on the ground as the already finished sausage landed on his head.

Tang San also made the blue silver plant trapping him and Xiao Wu disappear and stood on one knee as he raised his hand for Xiao Wu to grab and get up.

she did with a bashful expression as she punched his chest a few times, but it was more of playful taps and then hurried away.

they and neither anybody else notice the mischievous smile on Altair's face as he saw the entire interaction between the two.

Ma Hongjun landed on the ground with a proud and cocky face as he fixed his hair and clothes with a grin.

they all walked and stood in front of Yu Xiaogang as a straight line as he started talking :"talk about your feelings."

Dai Mubai took a step forward :"it wasn't fair. if my soul power wasn't depleted, they wouldn't stand a chance." then he and stared at each other while he was glaring at the fatty.

Yu Xiaogang turned to the side :"would your enemy come only when your soul power is at its best? you knew Oscar can provide mushroom sausages, why did you let Ma Hongjun eat them?

if you stopped him from the beginning or if you tried to save up your soul power, you would have been the winner."

Ma Hongjun smiled proudly as he started cleaning his ear with his pinky as he leaned on Oscar :"what a nice feeling.

I didn't expect myself to defeat boss Dai. what a nice feeling I have. Xiao Ao, the sausages are effective."

Oscar had the same prideful face and smile as him as he posed :"of course. I'm a soul honour after all."

they high fived before Yu Xiaogang scolded them instead :"are you proud of it? Ma Hongjun, let me ask you.

when the flying mushroom sausage of Oscar lost its effect, why did you let him fall? if Mubai still had the power to attack him, what would you do?

and you. as a soul master of food branch, most importantly, you should save yourself. even if he didn't help you, couldn't you hold on to him to keep flying?

if Dai Mubai was an enemy, you would be dead. soul honour? even if you're a soul master of the highest soul level of the food branch, you would be nothing in front of a war soul master."

they kept their head down as he was finished with scolding them and moved to the other two :"Xiao San."

Tang San :"master."

Yu Xiaogang :"talk about your fight with Xiao Wu."
