"This Blue Silver Academy is a real freak."
Flanders on the side also swallowed his saliva.
He must have known how popular an academy would be if it could allow a soul master to have a second soul ring that lasted a thousand years.
Even the Spirit Hall wouldn't be so outrageous.
He usually only regarded his students as monsters, but now he also gave them a monster evaluation.
Unfortunately, no one cared.
On the stage, the people from Shrek Academy were naturally curious and shocked.
But they quickly calmed down.
"According to the plan, go ahead."
"It's just a few more years of soul ring age, it's nothing at all."
"For a soul master, the most important thing is the spirit."
"Ning Rongrong."
Dai Mubai called out. As the captain, he still had some judgment.
The match had already begun, but there was no time for them to be stunned or to exchange words.
As they spoke, a figure had already emerged.
"The Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda possesses the following: strength, speed..."
Ning Rongrong reacted quickly, agreeing with Dai Mubai's words.
Their Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Sect was one of the three greatest sects on the continent, and their Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda was a top-tier martial spirit.
This wasn't something that could be achieved by simply adding a few hundred years of spirit rings. By splitting their attention and multitasking, they buffed everyone around them.
Their actions, along with their own, caused others to turn around. The group followed Dai Mubai as the main attacker, with Ning Rongrong as their core protector.
"The Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda."
"Go ahead."
Lan Xier's group didn't have many support spirit masters.
They did have a few with significant healing abilities.
Among them, Lan Nian, Lan Sheng, and Lan Hua all had plant-type spirits, each with a Spirit Power of 29 or 30.
Lan Nian and Lan Sheng both possessed Blue Silver Grass spirits. Lan Hua's spirit had mutated into a black grass called Gloom Grass, which devoured light.
The remaining three possessed a Spear spirit, a Pangolin spirit, and an Iron Shield spirit.
The entire team was either focused on control or attack.
"Second spirit skill, pitch black as a painting."
Lan Hua was the first to act. As he unleashed this spirit skill, a vast expanse of Gloom Grass rapidly spread across the arena.
Large swathes of light were absorbed, even the entire visual field surrounding Shrek Academy was absorbed.
They had already entered the range of this spirit skill, and for a moment, they were truly flustered.
In the darkness, even the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower seemed to have dimmed.
Before they could do anything, Lan Nian and Lan Sheng's Blue Silver Grass had already grown rapidly.
Their combined strength practically enveloped the arena in a sea of Blue Silver Grass.
This scene even stunned the Shrek Academy people below.
The growth rates of both the Gloom Grass and the Blue Silver Grass were astonishing.
"Is the Blue Silver Grass martial spirit so fast?"
Flender didn't recognize the Gloom Grass either, so he could only ask the Blue Silver Grass.
Especially now, the area covered by the Gloom Grass seemed to be isolated.
It was dark and silent, and the disappearance of light in a single area looked very strange.
"What kind of spirit rings did those guys absorb..."
Flender's question went unanswered, because Yu Xiaogang, who was sitting next to him, was scratching his head. He
simply couldn't figure out why the spirit power of a mere Great Spirit Master could support such an explosion of Blue Silver Grass.
"It must have something to do with their spirit rings..."
Yu Xiaogang said nonsense.
It was just like his ten theories.
And, most importantly, the Blue Silver Grass on the field was incredibly vibrant.
It could even be manipulated to attack the Shrek Academy group in the darkness, instantly scattering and disintegrating.
The group scrambled to cope with the sudden darkness.
Within seconds, they were bound and restrained by the Blue Silver Grass, though the stronger ones managed to break free.
Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Xiao Wu were relatively safe, the former possessing immense spirit power, while the latter, with their coordinated efforts, remained silent.
Ma Hongjun could also use his Evil Fire Phoenix spirit to quickly incinerate the Blue Silver Grass, even illuminating it with a flicker of light, which quickly vanished.
Of the group, Ma Hongjun was the most composed, though he didn't have the opportunity to assist the others.
Zhu Zhuqing, though swift and able to dodge the Blue Silver Grass's attacks from the darkness, was soon bound as well, and her attacks were unable to break through the clusters of Blue Silver Grass.
"Help me!"
"Why did you grab me?"
Ning Rongrong was even more vulnerable. Their group's protection was practically gone once they entered the gloomy grass area.
With her unpleasant cry, in a split second, the venerable auxiliary spirit had practically lost its effectiveness.
They were bound and restrained
one after another. Oscar, who barely had a presence, wasn't much better off, losing his abilities at a rate comparable to Ning Rongrong's.
In a split second, the three Shrek Academy members had practically lost the ability to continue fighting.
"Just take care of these three. The rest are yours."
Outside, Lan Nian and Lan Sheng, having depleted most of their soul power, sensed the Blue Silver Grass had captured someone and simply pulled them out.
Soon, a large expanse of Blue Silver Grass could be seen gathering up on the ring, and three zongzi-like balls of Blue Silver Grass were pulled out.
Behind them lay Dai Mubai's ferocious, furious face. His white suit, dusty and torn in many places, betrayed his usual elegance.
"A mere Blue Silver Grass."
"Don't think this is the end."
Both of them were great spirit masters, and with the Dark Grass catching the other off guard, they hadn't considered directly tackling Dai Mubai.
Seeing the other party approach, they remained unhurried. With
a furious roar, Dai Mubai was about to charge at the Blue Silver Academy group.
Even alone, he could carve through the enemy.
He was the Xingluo Prince, a spirit master of the Evil-Eyed White Tiger spirit.
Admittedly, the Evil-Eyed White Tiger possessed a certain imposing presence, at least making the Pangolin spirit master standing nearby uneasy.
But there was no need for the other party to confront Dai Mubai, so he didn't show much of a difference.
She joined the others in keeping an eye on anyone who might escape.
Now, the seven-on-seven match had become seven-on-four, the outcome essentially decided.
And Dai Mubai.
"Now it's my turn,"
Lan Xier, who hadn't made a move, grinned, her fighting spirit high and ready.
She'd been waiting for that fat guy to come out and give him a good beating.
Instead, the two girls and a stranger were pulled out. She didn't bother to argue, signaling Lan Nian and the others to eliminate them.
Seeing someone with decent soul power, she had to show her ability. Otherwise, if she didn't perform well in the arena, her grandfather might have dragged her back to the mountains to practice in seclusion.
"Little tiger, you look down on Blue Silver Grass, don't you?"
"Today, I'll show you what true Blue Silver Grass is."
Lan Xier snorted with pride.
Soul power erupted, and Blue Silver Grass, stronger and faster than the others, spread rapidly.
She alone unleashed an attack that surpassed Lan Nian and the others.
If she had joined in earlier, perhaps the others wouldn't have had to do anything.
