Wu Qin moved quickly. By the time Wu Qi and Changkong arrived at the training ground, quite a number of students had already gathered after hearing the news.
For these students, being able to watch an exciting Spirit Arena match without leaving the academy was something no one wanted to miss.
The members of Royal Team One were the seven strongest students in the entire academy.
In the eyes of most students, Wu Qi and Changkong must have offended them, which was why they were being challenged in this way.
In front of so many people, whoever lost would be completely embarrassed!
Seeing the two arrive, Oslo raised his little finger with a look of disdain. "So the cowards were dragged here after all?"
"With so many people watching, this is a fair spar. Don't go crying later saying we bullied you."
Changkong cupped his ear exaggeratedly and put on a puzzled expression. "Huh? Brother Wu, I just heard a dog barking. Did you hear it?"
Wu Qi smiled faintly.
When it came to stirring things up, even Yu Feng and Oslo together couldn't match a single toe of Changkong. After all, this was someone bold enough to eavesdrop on Ning Fengzhi, what wouldn't he dare to do?
Yu Feng and Oslo were instantly enraged, their expressions turning dark. "Good, very good. I just hope your whole body isn't only good at talking!"
Changkong sneered. "What, relying on the fact that you enrolled earlier to pressure us?"
"Don't tell me this academy ranks people by seniority?"
In the world of Spirit Masters, only strength mattered, no one would dare admit otherwise!
Of course, provoking the opponent was part of the plan.
Wu Qi knew Changkong's strength well. He had to face Yu Feng to have any chance of winning.
Just now, Yu Feng and Oslo had held the initiative. But after that exchange, they had effectively taken the moral high ground.
Now, the other side had no choice but to give ground.
Yu Tianheng, standing nearby, seemed to see through their intentions and quickly reminded them, "Yu Feng, Oslo, that's provocation. Don't get dragged into their rhythm."
With the reminder, Yu Feng let out a cold laugh. "We're not bullying anyone. You're two, and we're two. Decide among yourselves—who fights me, and who fights Oslo."
Their goal achieved, Changkong smiled inwardly. He then leaned in and whispered with Wu Qi, making it look like they were discussing.
"Yu Feng's Spirit is the Wind Chime Bird. If you don't have a plan, I can give you one."
Changkong smiled confidently. "Relax. I've always wanted to beat you, you know!"
They were both friends and rivals.
It was precisely because Wu Qi knew Changkong had studied him closely that he chose Yu Feng as his opponent.
Flying-type Spirit Masters naturally had an advantage in the air. For Changkong, who lacked aerial capabilities, challenging Yu Feng would normally be like seeking his own defeat.
Moreover, Yu Feng's Spirit Power Level had already reached Level 37. On paper, Changkong had no chance of winning.
However, what Changkong needed was to exploit his opponent's overconfidence and unleash his trump card.
After both sides finished discussing, Changkong leapt onto the training ground and beckoned at Yu Feng. "You. Come on."
Yu Feng had already seen his basic information. A staff-type Spirit might have some advantage against someone like Oslo with a leopard-type Spirit, but against him? Pure wishful thinking.
"Very well. Just don't lose too badly!"
Changkong shot back, "That goes for you as well."
"In that case, I'll act as the referee."
At some point, Qin Ming had appeared among the crowd.
Hearing his voice, the students instinctively made way, allowing him to walk to the side of the arena.
"Teacher Qin."
The members of Royal Team One greeted him respectfully.
Wu Qi glanced at him, his expression completely calm.
Qin Ming was currently the most outstanding graduate of Shrek Academy. Ever since learning about Shrek Academy's situation, he hadn't hesitated to trade away the academy's interests.
More importantly, his attitude wasn't much better than Yu Xiaogang's.
His current strength had been built with a large amount of resources provided by the three committee members through the royal family.
Yet in the end, when Shrek Academy faced unfair treatment, he simply walked away.
Calling it "leaving with nothing."
Wu Qi was truly curious what kind of methods Shrek Academy had used to influence him like this.
In the original timeline, when the Royal Team suffered a crushing defeat at the Suotuo Spirit Arena, even when Ye Lingling's life was in danger, Qin Ming didn't say a word.
If he were truly a teacher, that level of composure would rival a statue; otherwise, he simply didn't deserve to be one.
As Qin Ming announced the start of the match, Yu Feng immediately took to the air, using his aerial advantage to launch continuous hit-and-run attacks.
On the surface, Changkong seemed to be led around by the nose, but in reality, he was quietly waiting for the right moment.
Oslo cast a provocative glance at Wu Qi. "Your friend doesn't look too capable. If this keeps up, he's going to lose. If he ends up crying, that'll be embarrassing."
Wu Qi glanced at him and replied calmly, "Worry about yourself. With your strength, you still have the nerve to act so arrogant?"
Oslo was instantly enraged. "Just wait. You're next. Losing in front of so many people, let's see how you keep your place in the academy after that!"
Wu Qi's expression didn't change. "Your anger comes from a lack of confidence. From where I stand, you've already lost completely. Is there really any need to continue?"
As a Spirit Emperor, Qin Ming had sharp perception. Even from a distance, he could clearly hear their exchange.
Gradually, he frowned.
In terms of mindset, Oslo had already lost completely. That anger would greatly interfere with his decision-making in battle.
Qin Ming couldn't help but feel intrigued. A boy not even thirteen years old, yet so composed where had such a talent come from?
If he could be recruited into Royal Team One, the team's overall strength might rise even further.
Lost in thought, Qin Ming failed to notice Changkong's movements.
High in the air, Yu Feng activated his third Spirit Ring. "It's over!"
"Third Spirit Skill—Rising Winds and Clouds!"
The Wind Chime Bird flapped its wings rapidly, generating a powerful gust, intending to blow his opponent out of the arena.
Changkong's eyes were sharp, a fierce grin forming at the corner of his lips. "You're far inferior to Brother Wu, yet you dare act so arrogantly!"
The Coiling Dragon Staff spun rapidly in his hands. "Blazing Coiling Dragon Ring!"
Flames surged along the staff. As it spun, rings of fire formed and shot toward Yu Feng.
At first, Yu Feng didn't pay it much attention. But when the rings easily passed through his wind barrier, his expression changed in shock.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
The rings wrapped around him, completely stripping away his ability to fly. His body dropped straight down.
Below the arena, Wu Qi raised an eyebrow slightly.
The Blazing Coiling Dragon Ring was a self-created Spirit Skill by Changkong, derived from Demon Subduing Douluo's eighth Spirit Skill, Coiling Dragon Ring.
It combined both control and offense. However, it was clear that Changkong had only mastered the control aspect; the offensive power of the skill itself wasn't particularly strong.
