Chapter 26: Swift Defeat.
"Wilda, spirit shadow, ninth-level combat spirit warrior."
Seeing this, Jin Sanqian quickly said to Xuan Mo, "Mozi, don't mind. That's just how Wilda is."
"No problem,"
Xuan Mo smiled, but didn't say anything. However, he was secretly curious about Wilda's spirit.
"Sanqian, tell me about your spirit first."
"No problem," Jin Sanqian nodded slightly. "Actually, as you all know, my spirit is the Beast Spirit Pipi Elephant, a level eight offensive beast spirit. However, my spirit is naturally round and has ample elasticity."
When Jin Sanqian described his special characteristics, not only Xuan Mo but also Wilda looked sideways.
After all, for spirit masters, revealing the special abilities of their spirits is forbidden. Furthermore, asking about them privately is taboo among spirit masters.
"Sanqian, be careful next time," the usually silent Wilda suddenly spoke up.
"It doesn't matter much. Let's deal with the combat test first, and then we'll talk. We're running out of time."
Jin Sanqian laughed and changed the subject.
Seeing this, Xuan Mo and Welda said nothing more.
Xuan Mo pondered for a moment and said, "Then, Sanqian, you make full use of your martial spirit's characteristics to provide temporary assistance. Welda, please use your speed from all sides to contain the enemy. I'll handle the offensive and defensive operations. We'll hold out as long as we can."
Jin Sanqian naturally agreed and nodded. Welda pondered for a moment, glanced at Xuan Mo, and finally nodded slightly, agreeing with his suggestion.
Just then,
"Time's up! Let's begin!"
Mo Di had just finished speaking, and before Xuan Mo and the others could respond, his martial spirit instantly appeared. A blood-colored vine swiftly attacked the three of them.
Xuan Mo and Welda reacted the fastest.
Their martial spirits instantly possessed him, and Xuan Mo's first spirit ring also illuminated.
Even if one's strength is superior, one must not underestimate a Soul King. One must give it one's all at the first opportunity, or else one will be doomed.
The moment his spirit possessed him, Wilda's figure vanished, merging into a shadow.
Three overlapping earthen walls rose before Xuan Mo and Jin Sanqian.
But Mo Di's attacks were like tumbleweed against these walls, crumbling them with a single blow.
Meanwhile, Jin Sanqian's spirit had completed its possession. His body suddenly expanded again, his instantly turning dark. He charged towards Mo Di.
In the next second, the ground beneath Mo Di shifted, cracking and collapsing.
Immediately, Jin Sanqian's body soared into the air like a cannonball, then curled up like a giant ball of flesh and slammed down towards Mo Di below.
Mo Di smiled faintly, and the vines moved slightly, sending Jin Sanqian's body careening to the side. That was where Wilda had appeared.
"Not good!"
Xuan Mo saw this and quickly condensed earth element into a massive palm, barely blocking Jin Sanqian's attack.
Simultaneously, Mo Di's martial spirit ripped him free from the ground and emerged from the cave.
"Bang!"
Just as Mo Di had emerged from the cave, Xuan Mo's fist was already striking him.
But it was clear that it had no effect on Mo Di.
Mo Di, without even using his martial spirit, flashed and, before Xuan Mo could fully react, was already in front of him, kicking him out.
Helplessly, Xuan Mo crossed his arms and resisted.
Just then, Xuan Mo's body suddenly flew out.
Wilda, standing nearby, also attacked Mo Di.
Unfortunately, Mo Di spotted him, entangled him in vines, and flung him, along with Xuan Mo, into the charging Jin Sanqian.
All three of them flew out together.
"This is a combat test, not training. I won't waste my time with you here."
As Mo Di finished speaking, his first spiritual skill activated.
Blood-red vines transformed into several long whips, lashing out at the three men still in midair.
At this point, they had no way to avoid the blows. Even with their spirits possessed and their soul skills amplified, they were still lashed to pieces.
And then, before the three could even stand up, Mo Di called a halt. It could be said that Xuan Mo and the other three had already lost to Mo Di in less than five minutes.
"Alright, I'm well aware of your three abilities. Basically, you lack practical experience, your skills are simply not up to par, and you didn't even grasp the timing well."
Mo Di's stern face held no other expression. After watching the three men stand up, he told them to step aside.
"You three go get treated first. Next group."
Without even glancing at them, he called the names of three more students and began a new round of testing.
...
At the same time, Xuan Mo and the other two approached the old woman. Their spirits were clearly low, Xuan Mo included.
But the old woman didn't care, summoning her martial spirit once more.
This time, her sole ten-thousand-year spirit ring shone with black light. With a wave of the emerald scepter in her hand, a tiny wisp of green light emanated, showering Xuan Mo and the other three.
This time, Xuan Mo felt a distinct difference from the last time.
An incomparably pleasant coolness instantly spread throughout his body. Furthermore, the wounds from the beatings healed at an even more astonishing rate. Even the three of them were gradually regaining their strength.
Xuan Mo, the first to recover, immediately retrieved food from his "Vajra," drawing the attention of the old woman and Jin Sanqian, but they didn't question him.
Soon, the three recovered were drawn to Mo Di's combat test. It was swift, accurate, and ruthless, without any elaborate tricks, essentially pinpointing weaknesses and striking to avoid their own foes.
So far, eight groups of students had taken to the field, but none had managed to last more than four minutes against Mo Di. Even those who lasted more than three minutes were pitifully few.
Seeing this, Xuan Mo couldn't help but chuckle to himself, "It seems we're truly amazing, having managed to last more than four minutes."
And at that moment, his mindset shifted slightly...
"This afternoon's combat test is over, but I'm quite dissatisfied with the results."
Mo Di's expression was calm as he surveyed the crowd before him, yet it felt like a suppressed storm.
"From now on, we'll study martial spirit knowledge in the mornings, and conduct combat classes and physical training in the afternoons. Anyone have any objections?"
The entire class bowed their heads before Mo Di. Who would dare cross this line of fire at this moment?
"In that case, let's disperse."
Watching Mo Di leave, Jin Sanqian immediately shouted in relief, "I thought I was going to die here."
Xuan Mo, on the other hand, looked at Mo Di's departing back, shook his head slightly, and murmured, "It's not that simple. I'm afraid our hard times are coming."
"Mo Zi, what did you just say?"
"Nothing, just be prepared to suffer..."
