Chapter 11: First Battle
On the second day of school, Tang San went soul hunting.
Sun Qi was a little envious. It was great to have full Spirit Power innately, and you could get your first Spirit Ring after awakening.
"Xiao Sun, Xiao Sun, you have to fight for it. You can't fall too far behind." Sun Qi put a little pressure on the little stone monkey.
The little stone monkey was full of motivation.
"Sun Qi, is this your Spirit?"
The little stone monkey had attracted the attention of the part-time students in Dormitory 7.
Wang Sheng and others stared at the little stone monkey again and again, thinking that Sun Qi's Spirit was truly amazing.
The little stone monkey's Taoism was firm. Under the gaze of so many classmates, he could still sit down and enter a meditative posture.
Sun Qi smiled, sat on the bed, and began to meditate.
Seeing Sun Qi's hard work, the part-time students in Dormitory 7 were too embarrassed to continue chatting and began to meditate.
The sun rises and the moon sets.
About half a month later.
In the back mountain of the Academy.
Sun Qi had been practicing stick techniques with the little stone monkey in the back mountain for the past half month.
After awakening, the man and the monkey began to practice stick techniques. They had the basic stick techniques of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and several common stick techniques that Twin Sun Qi found from the Junior Soul Master Academy in Spirit City. They had a very clear direction in their training and their progress was also very significant.
It was not known whether Sun Qi had a higher talent for stick techniques or the little stone monkey had a higher talent for stick techniques, but in any case, the two of them could now move their sticks as they wished, and had mastered the basic stick techniques. They could counter any move and switch between moves at will.
"Sun Qi!"
A shout interrupted Sun Qi's meditation.
He opened his eyes and looked at Lin Xiaoer who was running over.
Lin Xiaoer was a part-time student. His Spirit was a hunting dog. He was now in the fifth grade and his Spirit Power was at level seven. It was unknown whether he could reach level ten before graduation.
"What's wrong?" Sun Qi asked.
His tone was very calm, which made Lin Xiaoer subconsciously feel much more at ease.
"It was Boss Xiao. He brought people to surround Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu said she wanted to duel with Boss Xiao and his group."
Sun Qi's eyes flashed with understanding.
Boss Xiao was Xiao Chenyu, the son of the city lord. He was naturally domineering in the Academy and was considered a representative of the aristocratic students. He had the biggest opinions about part-time students and often made trouble for them for no reason.
He and Xiao Wu had a conflict, which was a plot in the original novel.
"Let's go, I'll go and take a look."
Sun Qi went to the scene with Lin Xiaoer.
When they arrived at the scene, Sun Qi found two groups of people who were obviously confronting each other.
Among them, Xiao Wu and Xiao Chenyu, as the bosses of the two sides, were confronting each other.
"How is it? Can you win?"
Xiao Wu gritted her teeth, a defiant expression on her face.
"Of course I'm confident, but I don't know if Wang Sheng can defeat Boss Xiao's men."
Sun Qi looked at Wang Sheng.
Wang Sheng's eyes were a little evasive, clearly showing a lack of confidence.
"What level are their Spirit Powers at?"
Wang Sheng said, "Boss Xiao seems to have broken through to level ten. Now that he has his first Spirit Ring, he's troubled us. As for his men, they're just like us, without any Spirit Rings."
Sun Qi nodded and said, "You go first. Consume as much as you can, and I'll take care of the rest."
Wang Sheng looked at Sun Qi hesitantly.
Xiao Wu had no patience. After listening to Sun Qi's words, she gave him a thumbs-up.
"Just do as Sun Qi says."
This...
Wang Sheng and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.
They didn't quite trust Sun Qi's strength.
They hadn't seen him in action in the first half month of school. The only time he'd parried a few of Wang Sheng's sneak attacks was when they first started school.
Xiao Wu, on the other hand, had great faith in Sun Qi's strength and instinctively sensed the danger.
Xiao Wu spoke, and Wang Sheng gritted his teeth and stepped forward. Boss Xiao on the opposite side sent out Liu Long, whose Spirit was a long staff, with a ninth-level Spirit Power.
They both unleashed their Spirits simultaneously.
Liu Long's staff was over two meters long and looked incredibly strong.
As the fight began, he wielded it and struck Wang Sheng.
Wang Sheng's entire body glowed with Spirit Power, and with a tiger's roar, he didn't dodge or evade, but crossed his arms.
Bang!
A dull thud followed, and Wang Sheng took two steps back, his arms streaked with blood.
His arms ached intensely, and he endured the pain as he grabbed the long staff with his backhand.
Liu Long curled his lips and said, "You still don't learn your lesson. This is my Spirit."
As he spoke, the end of the long staff that Wang Sheng had grabbed disappeared.
Yes, it disappeared out of thin air, a bit shorter.
Then, Liu Long stabbed out with the staff, directly stabbing Wang Sheng in the chest, forcing Wang Sheng back repeatedly.
Sun Qi looked at the one-sided battle and shook his head speechlessly.
Wang Sheng was completely crushed.
The beast Spirit can improve physical fitness very comprehensively, but Wang Sheng, who has not yet attached a Spirit Ring, cannot be possessed by the Spirit. His own means of attack are limited, and he is facing Liu Long, who has the long staff Spirit.
The most critical thing is actually that Wang Sheng's combat awareness is too poor.
This is not just a matter of experience.
Wang Sheng was in great pain all over his body. He was hit by the long staff in many places, and all of them turned blue.
He roared and slammed his palm down on the long staff.
Seeing this, Liu Long immediately dissipated the long staff.
Wang Sheng's claw missed, and his entire body became unstable.
Liu Long sneered, stepped forward and kicked Wang Sheng to the ground.
"Humph, a defeated opponent is a defeated opponent."
Wang Sheng glared at Liu Long and said, "If you have the ability, wait until I break through the tenth level, wait for my Spirit to possess me, and I will tear you apart!"
Liu Long sneered.
"Sun Qi, can you do it?"
Xiao Wu saw Wang Sheng being defeated directly and couldn't help but ask Sun Qi if he had the confidence.
"I also practice stick techniques."
Sun Qi said, and he stepped forward to pull Wang Sheng up.
He stood opposite Liu Long, his face calm.
The little stone monkey also followed him and stepped forward together.
"Hey, are you going to outnumber the weak? Also, where did this monkey come from?"
"He's my Spirit."
Sun Qi touched the little stone monkey's head and exchanged the wooden stick in his hand with the little stone monkey's.
Seeing Sun Qi coming up with a monkey and a wooden stick, Liu Long was about to mock him.
Sun Qi didn't give him a chance and took a stance.
The little stone monkey also stood with a stick.
Seeing this, Liu Long's eyes became more serious and he didn't mock.
The two didn't confront each other for too long.
The little stone monkey didn't hesitate and went up with a stick.
The wooden stick in his hand was much shorter than Liu Long's long stick.
So, the stick was still in the air when it was stopped by Liu Long.
On the other side, Sun Qi stepped forward and put pressure on Liu Long from the other side.
The little stone monkey didn't engage Liu Long head-on. He immediately drew his wooden staff, knowing it would break easily.
He swung it repeatedly, the stick seeming to come alive in his hands, like a ferocious serpent, tearing at Liu Long frantically.
The pressure was immense.
He couldn't even see where the stone monkey's staff was, so he could only sweep it across in an attempt to defend himself.
However, he knew Sun Qi was also wielding his staff from the other side.
He simply didn't have the energy to deal with Sun Qi.
One against two was far more difficult than he'd imagined; he simply didn't have the ability to analyze and counter the attacks of both.
