Chapter 221 - Chapter 221 Heaven Dou vs. Heaven Water, Dai Mubai's Astonishment

After a brief moment of shock, the host of the Great Spirit Arena regained his senses. He picked up his amplification spirit tool and loudly announced the final result of this individual match.The Heaven Dou Royal Team won the first individual match.On the ring, Dugu Yan and Emperor Auspicious Beast did not become hostile because of the outcome.They walked toward each other and shook hands very amicably. With a bright smile on her face, Emperor Auspicious Beast said, "I lost this match, but the duel just now was truly satisfying."Dugu Yan shook her head very humbly. "If you were at your Peak state, I definitely wouldn't have been your match."After all, Emperor Auspicious Beast had consumed too much spirit power in the previous match.Emperor Auspicious Beast replied, "Perhaps, but your poison is really impressive.""Ordinary toxins would dissipate directly upon touching the Ultimate Fire on my body.""But your Green Phosphorus Snake Poison is completely different; it's very stubborn.""During the battle, I even needed to consume a bit of extra spirit power specifically to counteract it."After the first match ended, the Great Spirit Arena entered an intermission.The break time was half an hour.During this time, dedicated staff members moved back and forth between the outer and inner courts.They pushed small carts, selling various specialty foods and drinks.During this intermission, the audience present was not idle either.Everyone was heatedly discussing the exciting matches that had just taken place.In addition, there was another very lively topic within the Spirit Arena.That was the betting situation regarding the results of the recent matches.Before the match, some people with unique insight had bet heavily on the Heaven Dou Team to win.This group of people had naturally won quite a bit of money now.Of course, many people also felt that the Blazing Fire Team could win because they were led by a Spirit Emperor.Those who had bet on the wrong side naturally lost a lot of money and were sighing repeatedly.Half an hour later, the second team individual match was ready to begin.According to the competition rules, opponents were still decided by drawing lots on-site.If the Heaven Dou Team and the Blazing Fire Team were drawn together again, a redraw would be required.Soon, the results of the draw were out.This time, it was the Tianshui Team against the Blazing Fire Team.In the preparation area, Huo Wushuang, the captain of the Blazing Fire Team, looked very helpless.Because by facing the Tianshui Team, they still had no hope of winning.In his personal opinion, the comprehensive strength of the Tianshui Team was too terrifying; perhaps their overall strength was even above that of the Heaven Dou Team.The Heaven Dou Team currently had only three Spirit Emperors: Lin Yuan, Dugu Yan, and Zhu Zhuyun.But what about the Tianshui Team?The Spirit Emperors on the Tianshui Team's registration form were as many as four: Gu Yuena, Zi Ji, the Ice Empress, and the Snow Empress. (The names aren't easy to change, so I simply won't change them; I originally wanted to give the Ice Empress and Snow Empress different names.)Furthermore, among these four, not a single one was a low-level Spirit Emperor.This was why Lin Yuan had been startled when he first saw the information about the Tianshui Team.It was fine if these powerful Vicious Beasts wanted to join the fun with the Tianshui Team.But the cultivation levels they displayed were pushed so high.This made Lin Yuan, who knew the truth, feel a lot of pressure in his heart.The match began, and the Blazing Fire Team sent out other members of their team.On the Tianshui Team's side, they sent out the one with the weakest cultivation in their team, Yu Hairou.Yu Hairou's Rank was level 39, and she was an attack system Spirit Elder.Her Spirit was a Coral Barracuda type.As for Shui Yue'er and the other members of the Heaven Water girl group from the original work.In this powerful version of the Tianshui Team, they had all been reduced to substitute members.And this Three Great Elemental Academy Exchange Tournament stipulated that only official members were allowed to take the stage.So those substitutes could only act as cheerleaders below the stage today.On the ring, Yu Hairou relied on her Spirit advantage to successfully win one match.But she lost the second match due to excessive spirit power consumption. Subsequently, Shui Binger, the captain of the Tianshui Team, personally took the stage.Shui Binger's strength was formidable; after taking the stage, she took down the remaining two individual matches in one go.In the second team individual match, the Tianshui Team defeated the Blazing Fire Team.The powerful ice-attribute suppression displayed by Shui Binger greatly surprised the audience present.Bursts of exclamations erupted from the stands as everyone discussed the strength of this Heaven Water captain."This Shui Binger from the Tianshui Team is also a very rare Spirit King!""The power erupted from her Ice Phoenix Spirit is just too terrifying.""Yeah, the fire attribute of the Blazing Fire Team couldn't gain the slightest advantage in front of her Ice Phoenix."In the outer audience seats, Ma Hongjun was dazed.Because his Spirit was the Evil Fire Phoenix, which happened to be of the opposite attribute to Shui Binger's Ice Phoenix.Ma Hongjun watched Shui Binger showing great Divine Might on the ring and couldn't help but turn to ask Flender."Teacher, that's also a Phoenix Spirit, and I have a Phoenix Spirit too. Why is the gap in strength between us so large?"Flender was speechless upon hearing this question and didn't even want to say anything to this worthless Disciple of his.Flender cursed inwardly: You only know how to be lazy every day. Now that someone else is showing their power, you have the nerve to ask me where the gap is? Don't you know how much sweat others have put in behind the scenes to Cultivate?Yu Xiaogang also glanced at Ma Hongjun and shook his head.If this talent isn't utilized properly, it truly is a waste.At this time, inside the Heaven Dou Team's preparation area.Lin Yuan watched Shui Binger's performance, his heart stirred, and he opened his diary.In the diary, he wrote down the past events of Tang San and Shui Binger's battle from the original work.[Seeing Shui Binger's Ice Phoenix reminds me of Tang San in the original plot.][In the original Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, when Tang San fought Shui Binger back then, he was beaten until he had no power to fight back.][Shui Binger's Ice Phoenix Spirit possesses top-tier freezing control and offensive capabilities.][Tang San's proud Blue Silver Grass was completely useless under the low temperatures.][That battle directly beat the arrogant Tang San into losing his confidence.][After the match, he even fell into severe self-doubt and once wanted to give up on his Blue Silver Grass Spirit.][If Dugu Bo hadn't counseled him at the end, he probably would have completely degenerated.][And it was also from Dugu Bo's mouth that Tang San truly learned the conditions for the birth of twin spirits; it wasn't because the Clear Sky Hammer made up for the remaining nine-plus Ranks of spirit power as Yu Xiaogang said.][But because Tang San's Blue Silver Grass and Clear Sky Hammer Spirits were of equal quality.]This content from the diary instance was soon seen by the girls in various places.Looking at the description of Tang San in the diary, the girls all felt that Tang San's Heart-Nature was simply too fragile.Dugu Yan looked at the diary and directly posted her views in the chat group.[I Want to Live Past Thirty: This Tang San's psychological endurance is too poor. Just because of one match loss, he actually wanted to give up his Spirit out of self-abandonment?][I Want to Live Past Thirty: In the end, it was actually Grandpa who went to counsel him.]The other girls in the group also voiced their agreement one after another.One must know that in the original work's plot line of the original World, after Dugu Yan was defeated by Tang San in the Spirit Arena back then.She hadn't abandoned herself like Tang San at all. Dugu Yan's choice at the time was to strive for improvement and work even harder at her Cultivation after returning.[Hell Civet: A true powerhouse should face their failures head-on.][Seven Treasures Little Rich Girl: Exactly. If you lose, just win it back. What kind of man loses confidence at the drop of a hat?][Supreme Supreme Pontiff: To have twin spirits but only this much Heart-Nature, it's hard to achieve great things.]The girls' evaluation of Tang San plummeted to rock bottom at this moment....The third individual match would be held on time in the afternoon. At that time, it would be the Heaven Dou Team against the Tianshui Team.The afternoon sunlight spilled onto the ring of the Great Spirit Arena.In the Heaven Dou preparation area, Lin Yuan and several team members made the decision on who would fight after some discussion.They decided to send Zhu Zhuqing to fight the first round.On the opposite side, the Tianshui Team still let Yu Hairou take the stage as the first runner.As the members of both sides took the stage, Zhu Zhuqing's information immediately appeared on the large screen.Zhu Zhuqing, Spirit: Nether Spirit Cat Martial Soul.Level 55 agility-attack system Spirit King.spirit ring configuration: Two yellow, one purple, two black.Once this information came out, it ignited the entire venue once again.In the outer audience seats, Dai Mubai stared fixedly at the large screen.Upon seeing Zhu Zhuqing's level 55 Rank, he was completely stunned in place.His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief; even his body was trembling slightly.He shouted frantically in his heart: How is this possible!Both had run away from the Family to escape their fate, so how did Zhu Zhuqing silently Breakthrough to become a powerful Spirit King?While he himself was still only a level 37 Spirit Elder, she was nearly twenty Ranks of spirit power higher than him.How on earth did the Heaven Dou Royal Academy do it to let her cultivation level increase so quickly?This cultivation speed, which completely defied common sense, made Dai Mubai feel a wave of despair.Not just Dai Mubai, but the representatives of several other major powers present also had deep doubts.Salas of Spirit Hall furrowed his brows tightly, constantly ordering his subordinates to investigate the background of the Heaven Dou Academy.They all didn't understand. Had the Heaven Dou Academy mastered some Heaven-Defying cultivation resources?Emperor Xue Ye and the Three Great Committee Members in the main seats, looking at the puzzled gazes of those around them, were actually equally confused in their hearts, but they all knew they couldn't ask blindly.They understood that this was all due to the secrets hidden on Lin Yuan.And if Lin Yuan were just an ordinary Genius commoner, they might have asked long ago.But unfortunately, Lin Yuan's identity was not ordinary at all.Over these years, they had also managed to gather some information through various channels.They knew that the mysterious Master standing behind Lin Yuan was a super Douluo with a cultivation level as high as Rank 99.They simply couldn't afford to provoke this kind of existence at the ceiling of the continent's combat power.Therefore, the best way to handle it was to pretend to know nothing and treat Lin Yuan with great respect.On the ring, the referee announced the start of the match.Yu Hairou was the first to release her Spirit, the Coral Barracuda, and two yellow and one purple spirit rings lit up.Zhu Zhuqing's expression was cold as she merged with her Nether Spirit Cat Martial Soul.Her cat ears and cat tail appeared accordingly, and her posture became even more agile.Facing a level 55 Spirit King, Yu Hairou didn't dare to hold anything back.She directly activated her third Spirit skill, Coral Water Wave Array, attempting to use the water flow to restrict Zhu Zhuqing's speed.Zhu Zhuqing gave a cold snort, and the first spirit ring beneath her feet flashed with light.First Spirit Skill, Nether Hundred Claws, activated.Her figure turned into a black phantom, instantly penetrating the blockade of the water wave array.Her sharp claws left hundreds of black scratch marks in the air, directly shredding Yu Hairou's defensive water flow.Yu Hairou was greatly shocked and hurriedly retreated, while simultaneously firing several water arrows to counterattack.Zhu Zhuqing did not retreat but advanced instead, as her second spirit ring lit up.Second Spirit Skill, Hell Rush Stab.Her body accelerated instantly, forming a straight black shadow that directly broke through the interception of the water arrows.Just as Yu Hairou was preparing to condense her spirit power to form a water shield for defense, the third purple spirit ring on Zhu Zhuqing's body suddenly burst with light.Third Spirit Skill, Nether Shadow Motion, activated. This was a pure buff-type Spirit Ability; under the enhancement of the Spirit Ability, Zhu Zhuqing's own attack power and movement speed skyrocketed instantly.Her speed was so fast that even Yu Hairou's vision could not capture it.Seeing this scene from the stands, Dai Mubai couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air."This speed... is too terrifying," Dai Mubai murmured to himself.Beside him, Yu Xiaogang was also full of shock as he stared intently at Zhu Zhuqing on the ring."This kind of explosive power has already far exceeded the scope of an ordinary agility-attack system Spirit King.""Her movements have not a single bit of redundancy; her combat techniques can be called perfect and flawless."Ma Hongjun and Oscar were even more dazed; they couldn't even see Zhu Zhuqing's afterimages clearly."Is this really someone around the same age as us?" Oscar swallowed hard.On the ring, Zhu Zhuqing had already appeared behind Yu Hairou.Feeling the chill behind her, Yu Hairou instantly turned around and poured all her spirit power into the water shield.Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were icy as her fourth black ten-thousand-year spirit ring lit up.Fourth Spirit Skill, Nether Bone-Eroding Piercer, activated. This Spirit Ability specifically enhanced Zhu Zhuqing's defense-breaking capability.Moreover, when attacking, it would carry an extremely strong nether corrosive penetration effect.Zhu Zhuqing's hands turned into sharp claws as she directly used the Nine Yin Bone-Clawing Hand from the Nine Yin Manual.She perfectly combined the penetration of the Spirit Ability with the sharpness of the Martial Skill, and her claws, carrying a dark black glow, slammed hard into Yu Hairou's water shield.Without encountering any resistance, the solid water shield was instantly sliced open, losing its defensive power.The nether corrosive power rapidly spread along the breach in the water shield, directly dismantling Yu Hairou's remaining spirit power defense.Zhu Zhuqing's claws stopped steadily in front of Yu Hairou's fair neck. The chilling aura emitted from the claws made Yu Hairou's entire body stiffen, not daring to move an inch.From beginning to end, Zhu Zhuqing had only used a very short amount of time.Relying on the exquisite coordination of these four Spirit Abilities and the Nine Yin Bone-Clawing Hand, she easily won the first match.Yu Hairou's face was full of bitterness as she withdrew her Spirit and said, "I lost. Thank you for showing mercy."Zhu Zhuqing nodded, retracted her claws, and stood quietly on the ring waiting for her next opponent.In the outer audience seats, Dai Mubai's hands were clenched tightly into fists, his nails sinking into his flesh, as he looked at the powerful young woman on the stage with a face full of unwillingness."Zhuqing, just what have you gone through to become this strong?"He had originally thought his cultivation speed at the academy was already considered decent, but now compared to Zhu Zhuqing, he felt like a ridiculous joke....
