Cultivating, attending classes, and Spirit Duels—these three activities became the daily routine for the following period of time.
The only frustrating thing was that ever since he and Xiao Wu displayed their strength, the odds for betting on the outcome of their Spirit Duels were no longer as high as they were at the beginning, which caused the speed of their money-saving to slow down significantly.
In the blink of an eye, five days passed, and the day arrived for Yu Yan and Xiao Wu to achieve five consecutive wins. As long as they won today's battle, they could enter the main arena of the Balak Great Spirit Arena as powerhouses among First Ring Spirit Masters, competing on the same stage as opponents who also had five consecutive wins... "Ladies and gentlemen, today is the day for two rising stars of our Arena 28 to achieve five consecutive wins. Whether they can defeat their opponents and earn the qualification to enter the Main Spirit Arena, please look forward to it!"
It was still that same old man, standing on the stage and explaining the highlights of today's matches to the audience.
The audience didn't want to listen to the old man's rambling at all. They shouted loudly while he introduced the match, hoping he would get straight to the point.
Yu Yan's unique Ice and Fire Twin Fish Martial Soul, Xiao Wu's powerful combat strength, and the ages of the two of them caused the number of spectators in Arenas 28 and 27 to surge. They wanted to witness the birth of the youngest, lowest spirit power contestants to achieve five consecutive wins in the Balak Great Spirit Arena.
"It seems none of you want to hear this old man ramble. I announce the start of the Spirit Duel! I'm sure I don't need to introduce the contestant Yu Yan much; everyone has become very familiar with him over the past few days."
"Let me introduce Yu Yan's opponent. He is contestant Lu Tianyu, who came over from the Main Spirit Arena and achieved five consecutive wins last year. He is a Rank 19 Control System Spirit Master with Hemp Rope as his Spirit. Lu Tianyu once achieved a good record of two consecutive wins in the Main Spirit Arena."
Spectators who didn't know the truth questioned whether Lu Tianyu could truly be a match for Yu Yan when they heard he had only achieved two consecutive wins in the Main Spirit Arena.
In response, the old man cleared his throat and explained loudly, "Ahem, the First Ring Spirit Masters in the Main Spirit Arena are all Spirit Masters who have achieved five consecutive wins in the sub-arenas."
"Before this, Yu Yan has also defeated opponents with Rank 19 spirit power. I wonder if contestant Yu Yan can continue his glory this time?"
Accompanied by the old man's narration, the passion at the scene was completely ignited, and the audience loudly called out the names of the people they supported.
Standing on the Spirit fighting stage and listening to these cheers, Yu Yan was in a fairly good mood, but also a bit annoyed.
The reason for his good mood goes without saying, but the reason for his annoyance was that the Balak Great Spirit Arena had found him such a difficult opponent.
Without using a Fire Fish Skill, Yu Yan, even with the enhancement of Frost Scale Armor, would be a slow-moving sitting duck in front of a Control System Spirit Master.
Lu Tianyu was a middle-aged Spirit Master with a steady face. He stood opposite Yu Yan with a calm expression, showing no intention of underestimating him due to his young age.
"I announce, the Spirit Duel begins!"
Seeing that the atmosphere had reached its peak, the old man announced the official start of the battle.
Hearing the start of the Spirit Duel and seeing the old man leave the stage, Yu Yan, who had already summarized a set of combat methods, immediately rushed toward Lu Tianyu, wanting to settle the opponent in close combat.
As for whether to use a Fire Fish Skill, Yu Yan intended to act according to the situation. He had never planned to hide the fact that his Ice and Fire Twin Fish had two Spirit Abilities for one spirit ring.
Lu Tianyu opened his palm, and a Hemp Rope as thick as an arm appeared. A yellow spirit ring floated up and down on his body, emitting a faint light, which was a sign of using a Spirit Ability.
Under the influence of spirit power, the Hemp Rope was like a flexible giant snake, quickly slithering toward Yu Yan.
As long as he could tie Yu Yan up with the Hemp Rope, victory would surely belong to Lu Tianyu.
Yu Yan flipped to dodge, flexibly evading the extending Hemp Rope, and charged toward Lu Tianyu again.
Lu Tianyu's hand grabbed the end of the Hemp Rope and flicked his arm. The Hemp Rope that Yu Yan had already dodged made a turn in the air and came to bind him from behind.
Cold air radiated from around Yu Yan, and part of the Frost Scale Armor appeared. The Hemp Rope took the opportunity to wrap around the Frost Scale Armor and began Binding like a python, trying to tie Yu Yan up and restrain him.
Yu Yan's body shrank, shedding the part of the Frost Scale Armor wrapped by the Hemp Rope. Under Lu Tianyu's incredulous gaze, he condensed Frost Scale Armor on his fists and approached him again.
The Frost Scale Armor of the Ice Fish Skill was a suit of ice armor that could be condensed and worn, so naturally, it could also be taken off.
Seeing Yu Yan approaching to within three meters of him, Lu Tianyu quickly adjusted his state and swung his arm to drive the Hemp Rope.
Soon, under Lu Tianyu's swinging, the Hemp Rope condensed several simple Hemp Rope Shields in front of him, blocking Yu Yan's forward progress.
Hiding behind the Hemp Rope Shields, Lu Tianyu did not just sit and wait for death. He pulled back and moved to the rear, widening the distance between himself and Yu Yan.
After successfully breaking through the weak defensive Hemp Rope Shields, Yu Yan saw three Hemp Ropes attacking him from different directions.
He couldn't continue the charge.
Making a judgment in his heart, Yu Yan pulled back and retreated, dodging the Hemp Ropes that were thrusting forward.
Consequently, the scene on the Spirit Duel stage turned into a battle that looked exciting and fierce, but in reality, a winner could not be determined at all.
The spectators in the stands were attracted by this wonderful battle. They loudly cheered for the contestants they supported, their expressions excited and high-spirited. The Spirit Masters who came to learn combat experience wished they could rush up and fight a match themselves.
In the noisy environment, Xiao Wu watched the match calmly. A Spirit Duel whose outcome seemed unknown to others had already been judged in Xiao Wu's heart.
As long as Yu Yan used a Fire Fish Skill, the victory of this battle would inevitably belong to him. How could that Hemp Rope, which obviously looked easy to ignite, withstand the Scorching Breath?
"He really is a difficult little fellow."
Lu Tianyu's chest heaved up and down. Continuous attacks were extremely consuming of spirit power; he was exhausted but could not stop attacking.
As long as he stopped attacking, his opponent would surely rush straight up and defeat him. This was Lu Tianyu's confidence.
"Control System Spirit Master Lu Tianyu is indeed very difficult to deal with."
Fighting a Control System Spirit Master for the first time, Yu Yan praised Lu Tianyu in his heart; he could almost make a single Hemp Rope perform tricks.
Speaking solely of the control ability of a Martial Soul, and just in terms of Control System Spirit Masters, Yu Yan felt that Lu Tianyu might be much stronger than Tang San, who was an impure Control System Spirit Master.
The reason he said Tang San was not a pure Control System Spirit Master was that the frequency with which Tang San used Tang Sect Secret Techniques in battle was significantly higher than his identity as a Control System Spirit Master.
Tang San's ability to possess powerful combat strength was entirely due to the Tang Sect Secret Techniques and had absolutely nothing to do with Yu Xiaogang's planning and arrangements.
If he only used the Ice Fish Skill, he definitely wouldn't be able to win this battle. He had to find an opportunity to use a Fire Fish Skill to catch the opponent off guard and defeat him in one move.
Having made a judgment in his heart, Yu Yan rushed toward Lu Tianyu.
