Chapter 85: Target.
The moment the referee's voice fell, the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda in Ning Rongrong's hands suddenly lit up with multicolored light. "Seven Treasures transform into Glazed Glass. Seven Treasures have names: one: strength, two: speed, and three: soul."
In a split second, three beams of light emanated from the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, instantly pouring into Shi Yi's body. With such swiftness, he activated all his spirit abilities almost as soon as the referee uttered the final word, demonstrating his mastery of distraction control, at least to the point of perfect mastery of the Three Apertures Control Heart.
In an instant, Shi Yi, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Tang San displayed astonishing tacit understanding. With a familiar explosion, Shi Yi and Zhu Zhuqing vanished in an instant. Tang San, at the same moment the explosion rang out, launched several blades brimming with sharp intent at Xing Luo and the others, while Shi Yi was distracting everyone's attention.
Below the ring, the Spirit Hall's bishop, maintaining the spirit guides protecting the arena, was also surprised. He could clearly sense that Shi Yi's kick to the ground had actually shaken the spirit guides' defenses.
Seeing this, Dai Mubai, using Tang San's hidden weapon as cover, charged towards the Xing Luo group. Seeing Dai Mubai's advance, Ma Hongjun quickly unleashed his spirit abilities, preparing to support Shi Yi and the others from the air.
Yu Xiaogang, watching this scene from the audience, nodded slightly, thinking to himself, "It seems I'm indeed overly obsessed with so-called teamwork. In the hands of those who truly understand combat, coordination doesn't even need practice."
Flanders sighed with a hint of disappointment. His apprentice couldn't even keep up with his teammates' pace.
"Weiss," Zhu Zhuyun called out.
Suddenly, the golden light shimmering from Davis and the dark energy emanating from Zhu Zhuyun began to blend. At that moment, Shi Yi suddenly appeared before Davis. Just as Shi Yi was about to defeat his opponent with his most familiar formula, a box-like object appeared in front of Shi Yi. As the box vanished, Davis suddenly vanished before Shi Yi.
The moment his attack missed, Shi Yi's gaze fell on an unassuming young man not far away. He thought to himself, "The mirror spirit, interesting, but interrupting the spirit fusion technique is enough. As long as I keep my eyes on Zhu Zhuyun, where else can you run?"
Just as Shi Yi was about to lock onto his next target, Davis and Zhu Zhuyun launched their own counterattacks. Shi Yi felt a strong gust of wind from behind, and instantly his second spirit ring lit up.
"Second spirit skill, a thousand-pound shockwave." An invisible wave of power radiated from Shi Yi.
As Davis and Zhu Zhuyun resisted the shockwave, Shi Yi's footsteps became ethereal. Using the momentum of his missed attack, he twisted his direction, pushing off with force, unleashing even greater power and speed in a chaotic cloak, leaving deep footprints on the ring.
"Using Xiao San's footwork to twist his body and adjust the direction of the Chaos Cape's force, this kid has even combined the essence of the Chaos Cape with Xiao San's footwork, retaining its powerful explosive power while being able to change the direction of his force at will through his footwork." Tang Hao, watching this scene from the shadows, was deeply intricate. The
Chaos Cape was originally used for forging. In layman's terms, it transforms the blacksmith into a spring, leveraging inertia to continuously apply force to the material being forged. This approach has a significant drawback: its lack of flexibility. As a spring, the combined force ultimately reaches only one direction. Once the force changes direction, the combination must be restarted.
The Ghost Shadow Mirage is like adding a turntable to the base of the spring. At the moment of rebound, the entire spring is twisted, causing it to naturally rebound in the other direction. Of course, this is not something that ordinary people can achieve, requiring tremendous control over both strength and body.
"Bamboo..." Just as Davis was about to continue the spirit fusion, an irresistible force washed over him, followed by a powerful whistling sound and a slow, weightless landing.
Watching Davis fly off the stage, Shi Yi turned to Zhu Zhuyun and chuckled, "Now you're on your own."
Zhu Zhuyun, seeing the smile on Shi Yi's face, naturally understood what he was hinting at. She snorted coldly, looking at Shi Yi without saying anything.
"I didn't expect the gap to be so huge. I didn't even have a chance to unleash the Nether White Tiger in front of him," Zhu Zhuyun thought to herself as she looked at Shi Yi.
Suddenly, a gust of wind struck Zhu Zhuyun from a tricky angle. Feeling the force of the wind,
Zhu Zhuyun instantly leaped back. Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's appearance, Zhu Zhuyun's expression was complicated. She was seven years older than Zhu Zhuqing, and initially, she considered her no match. The two sisters had their sweet moment, naturally, before Zhu Zhuqing turned six.
Seeing this, Shi Yi handed Zhu Zhuyun over to her.
Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing's eyes met, both filled with complex emotions, but their bodies slowly assumed the same stance.
"Come on, my sister. This may be our last fight," Zhu Zhuyun thought to himself as he looked at Zhu Zhuqing, his gaze gradually growing firmer.
The two moved, their figures vanishing almost simultaneously. In an instant, the sound of sharp claws clashing echoed, and Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun's repeated violent collisions left a trail of sparks in the air.
In terms of strength, Zhu Zhuqing was still far inferior to Zhu Zhuyun, after all, the gap in soul power between them was approximately five levels. However, after Shi Yi's training, Zhu Zhuqing's physical fitness far surpassed that of an average person. Many details of her body control matched Shi Yi's to a fault. The precision of her movements, breathing, cadence, and stride, combined with her extraordinary strength, instantly smoothed over the significant soul power gap.
Shi Yi was certain that Zhu Zhuqing, without her martial spirit possessing her, possessed greater physical strength than Dai Mubai. Even though Zhu Zhuqing possessed only agility-attack spirit rings, Dai Mubai, without her martial spirit possessing her, would still be inferior to Zhu Zhuqing in pure physical combat.
Zhu Zhuyun was shocked, a little disbelieving. Was this really the sister she'd hunted two years ago?
As the two engaged in a fierce exchange, the sound of explosions continued to emanate. Shi Yi's increasingly powerful punches left the Star Luo Empire Royal Academy's players defenseless. Not only did they have to guard against Tang San's hidden weapon attacks, but even the brief moment they spent defending against them risked being eliminated by Shi Yi.
The two clashed repeatedly, each time becoming evenly matched. Zhu Zhuyun realized she was alone. She looked up at Zhu Zhuqing, whose expression remained calm, seemingly unconcerned about the outcome.
"Zhuqing, you've found a good home," she thought to herself.
Then, she glanced at the fallen players and slowly raised her hand, saying, "Star Luo Empire Royal Academy forfeit."
Zhu Zhuqing gave Zhu Zhuyun a complicated look, surprised by his lack of emotion, not even the resentment she'd hoped for.
For some reason, even though she had defeated Zhu Zhuyun, she felt no joy at all. Tears streamed down her cold face.
The victory she had longed for came so quickly, and even she herself didn't know how to express it. After all, she was still her sister.
Shi Yi patted her shoulder gently. Zhu Zhuqing shyly turned her head away and wiped the warmth from her face.
Dai Mubai was already trembling with excitement. He had won, he had beaten Davis. His ambition began to swell immensely. At least now he had a chance.
His talent was far superior to Davis's; all he lacked was time.
With this thought, Dai Mubai's gaze returned to Zhu Zhuqing, a hint of regret in his wicked eyes.
If he had been more patient with Zhu Zhuqing, with her help, he would have been closer to his seat.
At this moment, the referee flashed in and loudly announced, "Winner, Shrek Advanced Soul Master Academy!"
Shi Yi led the others slowly off the stage. Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's absent-minded expression, Shi Yi softly asked, "Are you worried about her?"
Dai Mubai chuckled disdainfully but remained silent. How could there be any kinship in a family like theirs?
Zhu Zhuqing's expression was complex, and she nodded slightly. "She must be tired of all this,"
Shi Yi nodded, "Perhaps."
Zhu Zhuqing's confused gaze drifted towards the Xingluo Royal Academy's rest area. The match was won, but she seemed to have lost her focus.
Ning Rongrong pinched Shi Yi gently and pouted at Zhu Zhuqing.
Shi Yi smiled, walked straight forward, and whispered to Zhu Zhuqing, "Let's take a walk together?"
Zhu Zhuqing, who had come back to her senses, saw a flash of surprise in Shi Yi's beautiful eyes, and then nodded slightly.
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Dai Mubai's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom. He kept telling himself in his heart that he needed to be patient and that he still needed time. If he turned his face now, it would only make the situation, which was already gradually getting better, worse.
On the other side, Shi Yi and Zhu Zhuqing walked slowly on the street.
"Are you planning to go back to Xingluo?" Shi Yi asked softly as he walked slowly.
Zhu Zhuqing paused when she heard this, and stared at Shi Yi with her cold expression. Shi Yi also smiled, and just looked at Zhu Zhuqing staring at him without saying a word.
Just when Zhu Zhuqing was about to lose control, Shi Yi chuckled and said first: "I don't mean any other by asking this. Don't guess in your heart. You were worried about Zhu Zhuyun just now. If you don't go back to Xingluo, then Zhu Zhuyun doesn't need you to worry. Can Dai Mubai beat the two of them if he goes back to Xingluo alone? If Dai Mubai really beats the two of them, they will die at his own incompetent hands."
Zhu Zhuqing said with a look of realization: "I'm not only worried about Dai Mubai, but also Davis. If Dai Mubai really wants to go back to Xingluo alone, Davis will have doubts about her. The original balance has been broken, and she will become the key to the political game."
Shi Yi suddenly realized and was puzzled. "Aside from you two, is there no other eligible woman of marriageable age in the Zhu family?"
Zhu Zhuqing whispered, "She and I are the most outstanding of our generation. Although our spirit compatibility is only 60-70 percent, it's already the highest level. Since Dai Mubai was able to use such tactics against me back then, he'll naturally resort to even more extreme tactics for the throne, and Davis will do the same to her to protect his own."
Shi Yi nodded and said, "It seems so. After all, if you wield the hoe well, there's no corner you can't dig down." Zhu Zhuqing, upon hearing this, seemed to have a thought. Her face flushed, and she turned her head slightly away, not daring to meet his gaze.
"So you want to meddle in other people's fates now?" Shi Yi asked Zhu Zhuqing softly.
Zhu Zhuqing hesitated, unsure how to tell Shi Yi.
"It's okay, Zhuqing. This is normal. You won this match and gradually caught up with them. You've achieved your goals, so it's natural to feel lost. At the same time, you'll also begin to develop new goals. Just like now, you've developed compassion for Zhu Zhuyun, even though she once hunted you," Shi Yi said softly.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Shi Yi and whispered, "What do you think I should do?"
"Zhuqing, you know, since I started cultivating my soul power, I've set a goal for myself: to become a strong person and do what I want to do. From my personal perspective, I don't want you to interfere in the fate of others, even though she's your sister and that could put you in danger. But from your perspective, I always hope you can make your own choices."
"Each of us is an independent individual, never dependent on others for our existence. When you make your own choices, your life is truly in your own hands. Even if that choice isn't necessarily entirely correct or beneficial, as a friend, I'm still willing to offer you some help to help you become the person you want to be," Shi Yi said softly.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing was moved by Shi Yi's words. Her eyes reddened slightly, filled with crystal tears. The next second, she ran directly into Shi Yi's arms.
An unfamiliar fragrance invaded Shi Yi's nostrils. Feeling the softness in his arms, Shi Yi raised his hand and gently rubbed Zhu Zhuqing's head, gently stroking her hair, and whispered, "Okay, we're still outside."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing let go of Shi Yi with some reluctance. Shi Yi also gently stroked the tear marks on her cheeks, as if feeling a little embarrassed. Zhu Zhuqing blushed and her eyes were slightly evasive.
Shi Yi smiled at this, took Zhu Zhuqing's hand, and scratched her palm.
Zhu Zhuqing felt Shi Yi's little action, and she rolled her eyes at Shi Yi. Her originally cold and fair face became even redder.
Shi Yi took Zhu Zhuqing's hand and gently kissed the back of it, chuckling, "It's stamped, and you're my little cat."
Zhu Zhuqing blushed and turned her head away, muttering softly, "You rascal... who's your little cat?"
Shi Yi smiled and said nothing, holding Zhu Zhuqing's hand and continuing to walk.
