Chapter 180 Battle against Blazing Academy (2 in 1)
The Great Spirit Arena.
"Twenty-third round of the qualifiers, fifth match, Skywalker Academy versus Blazing Academy...please enter!" The host's passionate voice resounded throughout the arena, and after some introductions, the audience lights went out. Golden beams of light suddenly lit up from both sides of the ring, moving to the participant passageway.
A tsunami of cheers rang out both inside and outside the arena.
On the left side of the passage, the seven members of the Blazing Battle Team led by Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu slowly walked out.
On the right side passage, Shui Bing'er walked side by side with Zhu Zhuyun, followed by Zhu Zhuyu, Zhu Zhuqing, Shui Yue'er, and Ye Lingling.
"Six people." Seeing the people coming from the opposite side, the Blazing Battle Team's faces were all slightly stagnant.
Ever since Skywalker Academy had competed, up until now, the number of people on the field had never exceeded three. But this time, six were directly sent out, and Shui Bing'er was also on the field.
Regarding Shui Bing'er's ability, coming from the same Five Elemental Academy, they were quite aware of it. The control ability could not be described as weak, and her attributes were also mutually restrained with them.
The two teams slowly walked to the centre of the ring, looking at each other 20 metres apart. Perhaps it was because Lin Manshan's ranged skills had performed too prominently before, the Great Spirit Arena also felt that the ring was a bit small, so they carried out a reconstruction that night, widening it to a diameter of 50 metres.
Seeing the two teams taking their positions, the referee on the side looked left and right, then raised his right hand and quickly lowered it again.
"The match begins!"
As soon as the words fell, both sides activated their martial souls at almost the same time.
On the Blazing Academy's side, the faces of the team members first revealed expressions of disbelief in unison and then became even more grave.
"Shui Bing'er has actually broken through to Spirit King!"
The faces of the participants on the spectator stand showed shock and at the same time, their hearts sank.
A control system spirit king with a top-tier beast martial soul, the Ice Phoenix, they all knew what this meant.
A trace of surprise also flashed across the eyes of Ning Fengzhi and the others sitting in the VIP seats. In less than two years, Shui Bing'er had unexpectedly broken through from her original level 39 to Spirit King.
The speed could no longer be simply described as fast.
"First Spirit Skill, Water Absorption!" On the ring, Shui Yue'er took the lead in releasing her spirit skill, and between the dense light in her right palm, a ball of light-blue light took shape at once, and she gently threw it towards the top of her head, and it rose straight up into the air with a faint suction force. In just a few moments, the surrounding air became a little cooler, and at the same time also began to become a little wet. The moisture in the air was converging towards Shui Yue'er's head.
The rest of the team, on the other hand, did not make a move.
"They must be preparing to do something?"
Huo Wu's eyes flickered, and she hurriedly shouted out softly towards the front side, "Huo Yu, go and stop it!"
The martial souls of the two brothers, Huo Yun and Huo Yu, were fire cranes, which came with a fire attribute and also possessed the ability to fly, which was undoubtedly an advantage when facing the Skywalker Battle Team's line-up at this time.
It was necessary to get close through the sky and release a spirit skill to interrupt or dry up the moisture that Shui Yue'er had just begun to gather.
It was something that must be done now.
As the words trailed off, the two extremely similar-looking young men in front of her flapped their fire wings behind their backs and quickly rose up into the sky.
One of them flapped his fire wings behind his back, accelerated, and quickly flew in the direction of Shui Yue'er.
At the same time, Huo Wu also quickly closed her hands together, and the fourth spirit ring under her feet lit up, "Fourth Spirit Skill, Brilliant Sun." Scorching hot fire light converged between her palms, and a blazing white light cluster gradually took shape, "Ring Fusion!" While gritting her teeth and murmuring, the first three spirit rings under her feet lit up simultaneously.
Shui Bing'er had now become a Spirit King, and with Ye Lingling behind her to aid in healing, relying solely on the fourth spirit skill even if she was injured, she was afraid that Shui Bing'er would be healed immediately. She has no choice.
She could only use her strongest means of attack.
"First Spirit Skill, Fire Like Silk." The teammates on both sides followed closely behind, releasing their spirit skills to aid in the increase of that combined spirit skill's power.
Between the dense light of fire, threads of fire flew out from the hands of the youths on both sides, converging towards Huo Wu's body, and dyed Huo Wu's entire body a fiery red.
Subsequently, the glow of light between the palms of the Huo Wu rose greatly, and the speed of cohesion sped up visible to the naked eye.
At this exact moment, Shui Bing'er's hand slightly pressed.
"First Spirit Skill, Ice Bind."
Five azure-coloured rays of light appeared out of thin air under her feet, dragging Frost White across the ground as it quickly scurried towards the front.
At the same time, the three Zhu Zhuyun sisters also moved instantly. In just a flash, their figures disappeared in place, transforming into three black phantoms, moving quickly in a fan shape towards the direction of the Blazing Battle Team, presenting a closing circle.
During the process of casting the Fusion Spell, Huo Wu and Yue'er's bodies couldn't move at will. Shui Bing'er's Ice Bind, coupled with the siege of the three Agility Attack System teammates the situation became worrying. Huo Wushuang, who stood at the front of the team, quickly let out a light shout as he glanced at the three Zhu Zhuyuns following behind Shui Bing'er's Ice Bind Spirit Skill.
"Huo Lie, follow me and use a long-range spirit skill to first block Shui Bing'er's Ice Bind Spirit Skill. Huo Yun, harass the opponent's Agility Attack System Spirit Master from the sky, just delay them for a little while."
As the words fell, his hands quickly closed in front of his chest, and a palm-sized dark red fireball quickly condensed.
Looking at the right position, he directly threw it out.
"Swoosh!" It was not thrown accurately.
The blue light under the control of Shui Bing'er was as if it was alive, not only did it move fast, but it also twisted around in all sorts of ways.
The teammate on his side, Huo Lie, also encountered the same situation, and his face turned red from anger, it wasn't like this in the past.
My Bing'er is also practising distraction control. Lin Manshan, who was watching from the spectator seat, could not help but laugh, and with a glimpse of his afterglow, the situation of the Huo Yun in the sky was similar, the flight speed of the fireballs thrown out was not as fast as Zhu Zhuyun's trio were running, and he lost sight of the other end and was in a great hurry.
Just at this time, the Huo Yu on the other side had already flown to the front of the Skywalker Battle Team's formation, and his wings violently unfolded.
The rain of fire rained down from the sky.
Seeing this, Shui Bing'er's face was indifferent, the third spirit ring under her feet instantly lit up, and she lifted her hand and slapped it in the air.
After consuming the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, the ice attribute attached to her martial soul was enhanced and became the ultimate state. She also gained the ice elemental control talent, and although it wasn't strong at first, after nearly two years of training, it had progressed quite a bit.
Especially after absorbing the fifth spirit ring and the head spirit bone of the Ice Jade Scorpion, her own affinity and control of the ice element had increased very significantly.
Thanks to this, her use of spirit skills had also become more skilful and had long since detached from the basic form.
"Third Spirit Skill, Ice Ring of Resistance!"
A scorching white light suddenly erupted from her palm, bringing a biting cold air as it pounced into the sky.
"Puh-puh-puh."
Cold and heat met, emitting a crunching sound, but the mist had not yet risen, it was already dispersed by the white aura, and even the Huo Yu in the sky was shaken back on the spot, with white frost coating all his body.
The fire wings on his back dissipated, and his body stiffened and fell.
Seeing this situation, Huo Wu also knew that she could not wait any longer. Without hesitation, she threw the light ball in her hand to the top of her head, which expanded rapidly in the process, in the blink of an eye, it exceeded two metres in diameter, and from afar, it looked like a small sun.
"Go!" Her Eyes locked on Shui Bing'er, as she cried out with both palms thrusting fiercely, and the fireball flew directly out.
After a glance at the three Zhu Zhuyun who had already spread out and surrounded from both sides and her teammates who were being encircled by Shui Bing'er's Ice Bind Spirit Skill, she clenched her teeth.
"Third Spirit Skill, Fire Ring of Resistance."
Eye-catching circular flames instantly erupted.
The power of the third spirit skill, which had been increased with the assistance of two teammates, had undoubtedly soared, and in an instant, all of the blue light that was constantly moving on the ground was shaken away, and her face went pale. After releasing the fourth Spirit Skill through the Ring Fusion Skill, and now releasing the third Spirit Skill, her Spirit Power had almost bottomed out.
And right at this moment, a clear and delicate cry suddenly echoed in the air, causing her heart to sink.
Looking up, Shui Yue'er had already stopped her first spirit skill release, and her left hand was holding hands with Shui Bing'er.
"Third Spirit Skill, Ice Ring of Resistance." Shui Bing'er raised her right hand, and blinding white light converged between her palms, followed by a sudden eruption. The white light carried a light blue glow like a cannonball as it rushed towards the flying huge fireball.
"Boom!" An explosion was emitted, white mist rose and sparks splashed everywhere.
"Second Spirit Skill, Ice Frost Armour." A murmur could vaguely be heard from within the white mist that obscured the vision in front of them.
The next moment, "Fourth Spirit Skill, Water Drop!" Shui Yue'er's voice suddenly sounded.
The surrounding white mist seemed to be tugged and quickly rose upwards. At the same time, above the Skywalker Battle Team's formation, drops of bean-sized water beads spread halfway across the entire ring at an extremely fast speed, with a range of more than forty metres, resembling a stagnant downpour, and the white mist on the ground surface cleared.
"Fourth Spirit Skill, Ice Cone!" Within sight, the fourth Spirit Ring under Shui Bing'er's feet then lit up, and a light blue light immediately surged down her arm into Shui Yue'er's body, causing Shui Yue'er's entire body to shine with a faint blue light. In the next moment, the dense water droplets in the air turned from transparent colour to white visible to the naked eye, condensed into ice, and grew into diamond-shaped spikes, like a small ice cone.
"Fusion Skill!?" Huo Wu's face instantly grimaced and turned paler.
"It's over!" Huo Wushuang, who was standing in front, also had a gloomy face.
At this moment, he finally understood the true tactics of the Skywalker Battle Team. The purpose of the Ice Bind Spirit Skill released by Shui Bing'er was not to cooperate with the three Agility Attack System Spirit Masters in launching an attack at all. The true purpose was to hold back, harass, and consume their spirit energy.
Especially to consume Huo Wu's spirit power.
The real purpose of the three Agility Attack System Spirit Masters wasn't to surround and defeat them but to block the path and intercept them.
With the density and range of these ice cones in the sky, they now either had to fight hard or retreat.
There was no other choice.
But Huo Wu as well as the two auxiliary spirit masters' spirit power had been almost consumed, as for Huo Yu, his gaze was swept, he had already stood up, but was wincing, his lips were purple, his body was trembling, he should have been frozen lightly before.
I, Lie and Huo Yun are still in a state to run for a while, but what about my teammates?
"Quick! Breakthrough together towards Zhu Zhuqing." Behind him, Huo Wu made an immediate decision and shouted at the top of her lungs.
However, before the words even registered, "Cold Ice Cone Rain!" The dense ice cones in the distant sky had already shot down.
And, as if it was controlled by someone, they were all aimed at Huo Wu.
"Crap!" Huo Wushuang immediately burst out in foul language, his face darkening.
"Shit, this is too exaggerated, isn't it?" Similarly, the spectators outside the arena also exploded in foul language.
It was fine to have a fusion skill with such a wide range, but you could also control the direction of the attack.
"We admit defeat!" Huo Wu shouted out without hesitation with red eyes.
If her spirit power hadn't been depleted to the bottom, she might still be able to try and fight back, but in this situation now, they had already lost the possibility of a counterattack. Not to mention the ice cones in the sky, the Spirit King Zhu Zhuyun and Spirit Ancestor Zhu Zhuyu, both of them guarding the periphery without any consumption would be enough for them to have a pot to drink.
At that time, Shui Bing'er will then use the first spirit skill from the side and wait for the opportunity to control, then they will surely be wiped out.
Instead of fighting a losing game by sustaining injuries, it would be better to save their strength to fight the next game.
When the words sounded, the ice cones that shot down from the sky suddenly shifted their direction, and all of them smashed into the ground in front of Huo Wushuang.
Ice debris flew, piled up, and soon formed a small hill, which made the scalps of all the Blazing Battle Team members numb.
Although Huo Wu is somewhat violent and fiery, she is not stupid. Lin Manshan slightly shook his head, but inwardly he secretly thought that it was a pity. There is still a follow-up to this move of the Shui Bing'er and the Shui Yue'er, the ice cones smashed all over the ground, and wherever you step on there will be ice, together with the Shui Bing'er's Ice Burst Skill, it will be thrilling!
In fact, the reason why Ye Lingling came on the stage was because she was preparing to heal the opposite side's injuries.
After all, it wasn't like they had a grudge against Blazing Academy.
"This," The audience froze and had an empty feeling of not having their fill of the game.
At the same time, they also sighed in their hearts, this match appeared to be a 6 to 7 match, but in reality, it was a 2 to 7 match, throughout the entire match, it was Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er who were showing off their moves.
Moreover, it was all a set-up, one layer after another, directly teasing the Blazing Battle Team.
I don't know who formulated these tactics, they have a dark heart, an old fox.
"Qualifier round twenty-three, match five, Skywalker Academy wins." The referee's voice sounded loudly.
Looking at the rejoining Shui Bing'er group, Huo Wu gritted her teeth and was supported by Huo Wushuang to leave the arena.
The match between Skywalker Academy and Blazing Academy was the last match of the morning, and now that the match was over, the spectators were not prepared to linger any longer, and they all got up to leave the venue. However, the drastic sounds of discussion continued to rise and fall, and the performance of the two members of the Shui family today had undoubtedly left a deep impression on the crowd. Of course, there was also that large fireball created by Huo Wu with the fourth spirit skill, which was also praised by quite a few people.
There were simply too many spectators leaving the venue, and inside the rest area, Lin Manshan decided to wait until the people were almost gone before making a run for it.
He seriously suspected that the fact that their team was scheduled for the last match of the morning was a deliberate move by the Great Spirit Arena to keep the audience. After all, they were also scheduled to play in the last match in the game that Skywater Academy forfeited yesterday afternoon, how could things be so coincidental?
Tens of thousands of people leaving the venue wasn't something that could be ended in a moment, so the group sat together in a circle and did a battle summary.
As they chatted, Lin Manshan suddenly turned his head.
From afar, Huo Wu was walking over with Huo Wushuang, and beside them, there was Feng Xiaotian following closely.
The group followed and raised their heads, looking at the approaching trio.
"Sister Huo Wu, it's been a long time." Shui Bing'er stood up and was the first to greet them. Of the five elemental academies, Thunder Academy and Elephant Armour Academy both had clan backgrounds, one being the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the other being the Elephant Armour Clan. In contrast, the Skywater, Blazing, and Godwind academies didn't have these backgrounds and thus needed to consider less. There were so few rules to follow when it came to communication, so their relationship had always been good.
Almost every year, there were friendly and interactive matches, and she thus met Huo Wu and became a good friend.
Huo Wu slowly approached, looking at Shui Bing'er in front of her, who was clearly two years younger than her, but whose strength had already exceeded hers by a large realm, her heart was full of mixed feelings, and she glanced at Lin Manshan, who was sitting on the other side of the table. She knew very well that everything was because of this man.
"Sister Bing'er, long time no see." With a smile, she greeted.
"Congratulations, I haven't seen you the last two years, and you have broken through to Spirit King." Saying that, she turned her head to look at Shui Yue'er and smiled faintly, "And sister Yue'er, congratulations as well. To be able to break through to Spirit Ancestor at this age, you're much stronger than me."
Although her tone sounded a bit sour, she was extremely sincere, something that Lin Manshan could clearly perceive.
"Hehehe, it's so-so." Shui Yue'er was a bit unprepared to compliment.
"It's all because of Ah Man." Shui Bing'er glanced at Lin Manshan and whispered very sweetly.
