At this moment, Xie Xie felt a chill run down his spine.
He smiled bitterly to himself, "I really watched a show that ended up being about me."
Fang Yang naturally understood that Gu Yue's refusal to participate was entirely due to jealousy.
However, now was not the time to dwell on that; the most important task at hand was to win this crucial promotion match.
"Now, let the match begin!"
As Director Long Hengxu gave the order, the atmosphere in the arena instantly became tense, and the air seemed to solidify.
"Wu Lin, Xie Xie, one each, finish them quickly!" Fang Yang ordered in a deep voice, his tone conveying unquestionable authority.
Xie Xie understood, knowing that Fang Yang would still need to coax Gu Yue later. He stretched his wrists, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
Tang Wulin also clenched his fists, the image of his senior sister flashing through his mind, his Battle Intent growing stronger.
The three students from Grade One Class One looked at each other, their expressions turning ugly.
"Are we just roadside trash?" Wei Xiaofeng said through gritted teeth, flames of anger burning in his eyes.
No sooner had he spoken than Wei Xiaofeng and Xie Xie launched their attacks almost simultaneously, two figures shooting towards each other like arrows from a bow.
Two bright yellow hundred-year spirit rings suddenly lit up beneath Wei Xiaofeng's feet, and green spirit power circulated around his body.
A small, entirely azure snake emerged from his shoulder, with a pair of transparent green wings on its back, reflecting a dreamlike luster in the sunlight.
At the same time, Wei Xiaofeng's body underwent a noticeable change. His limbs became extremely flexible, and his skin was covered with a layer of light green scale patterns.
This was the change brought about by his Spirit, the "Green Shadow Snake."
As an agility-attack system Battle Spirit Master, every one of Wei Xiaofeng's movements carried the unique flexibility and swiftness of a snake.
"This is a two-ring?! Not a one-ring?!"
"How is this possible?!"
A burst of exclamations suddenly erupted from the stands.
Two dazzling yellow spirit rings appeared beneath Xie Xie's feet, their light even more brilliant and striking than Wei Xiaofeng's.
The Light Dragon Dagger in his hand, though shrunken slightly, was more condensed and sharper, with profound patterns carved into its blade, emitting a chilling pressure.
The students of Grade One Class One's faces changed dramatically, and Instructor Ye Yingluo suddenly stood up from her seat, a hint of unease flashing in her beautiful eyes.
Other teachers and students watching also showed shock, and discussions rose and fell.
Even the students of Grade One Class Five were surprised; they also didn't know that Xie Xie had quietly advanced to Spirit Grandmaster.
"Boom!"
Xie Xie and Wei Xiaofeng collided in an instant.
Xie Xie's expression was stern, his entire being transforming into a golden stream of light, pressing towards Wei Xiaofeng with overwhelming force.
Fang Yang looked at the remaining Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi opposite him: "Wu Lin, you handle the control."
"Okay!"
Tang Wulin responded and moved, his yellow spirit ring flickering, and the Datura Snake Soul Spirit appeared beside him with a blue light.
His Blue Silver Grass Spirit surged from his palm, like agile blue pythons, striking directly at the opponents.
Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi dared not be slow, simultaneously activating their Spirits.
One summoned a Dark Dragon Eagle, the other awakened the Bone Dragon King Spirit.
Two yellow spirit rings lit up in succession, and Wang Jinxi's thin figure strangely expanded, his bones protruding, making him look like a giant skeleton.
Black Qi erupted from his body, actually managing to block the Blue Silver Entanglement.
"This is… a dark-attribute Spirit?" Tang Wulin felt the cold aura emanating from the opponent.
Fang Yang's lips curled slightly: "A dark-attribute Spirit? Interesting."
Before his words finished, an orange-red flame was already dancing in his palm.
This was the fused异火, a perfect combination of Xuan Huang Flame and Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire.
The moment the异火 appeared, the dark aura on the field receded like a tide.
Wu Changkong in the stands narrowed his pupils, feeling a qualitative change in Fang Yang's flame: "This flame… is extraordinary."
"How is this possible? What kind of flame is this?" Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi exclaimed in unison.
That flame restrained dark attributes was one thing, but the pressure it emitted far exceeded their imagination.
"How can we fight now?" Zhang Yangzi looked at Wang Jinxi with a pale face.
Wang Jinxi gritted his teeth: "I'll block, you find an opportunity!"
Fang Yang didn't give them a chance to breathe; the first purple spirit ring behind him suddenly flickered.
An exquisite Fire Lotus condensed in his palm.
First Spirit Ability: "Fire Lotus Burst!"
With a soft shout, the Fire Lotus, containing terrifying energy, was accurately thrown at the opponents.
"Zhang Yangzi, be careful!" Wang Jinxi roared, fully activating the Bone Dragon King Spirit within him.
The Fire Lotus exploded with dazzling light upon contact, and a terrifying energy wave swept across the entire arena…
Moments later, Zhang Yangzi supported the heavily injured Wang Jinxi, both of them at their limit.
Wang Jinxi's Bone Dragon King Spirit appeared exceptionally fragile under the burning of the异火, and most of the dark aura on his body had dissipated.
"Give up, you have no chance," Fang Yang said calmly.
Under the suppression of absolute strength and Spirits, Class One no longer had any possibility of winning.
At the same time, the students, teachers, and Director Long Hengxu in the stands were all stunned.
Possessing such powerful strength and a thousand-year spirit ring, were these really just Fifth Class students?
"Director Long, are you sure you didn't assign them to the wrong class? These three students, no matter how you look at it, don't seem to have the strength that Fifth Class should have?!"
Faced with the teachers' questions, Director Long Hengxu was speechless for a moment.
How could he explain this? He was at a loss for words.
"Ahem, this is all due to Instructor Wu Changkong's excellent teaching methods. If you want to know the reason, you should ask Instructor Wu Changkong."
Director Long Hengxu coughed twice, unhesitatingly shifting the blame onto Wu Changkong.
In response, Wu Changkong merely glanced at Director Long Hengxu indifferently, saying nothing.
His gaze returned to the arena, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
At present, the outcome on the competition stage was clear; Fang Yang and his two companions were destined to win.
In contrast, Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi of Class One, due to their Spirits being countered, had no room to resist.
Even their proud dark attribute was easily neutralized by Fang Yang, making it unnecessary to continue fighting.
Zhang Yangzi suddenly raised his head, a determined glint in his eyes: "We haven't lost yet!"
These words practically burst from between his teeth.
Wang Jinxi hesitated: "Do we really have to? That power is too great…"
"Bearing the name of Class One, I absolutely cannot surrender!" Zhang Yangzi said decisively.
Wang Jinxi took a deep breath and nodded heavily.
The dark aura on their bodies suddenly surged, and under everyone's gaze, they slowly began to merge…
Soul Fusion Skill: "Dark Dragon Eagle!"
"Wu Lin, stand behind me, let me handle this!" Fang Yang said in a deep voice.
The next moment, the third black spirit ring behind him lit up.
Third Spirit Ability: "Flame Avatar."
The异火 within Fang Yang surged out, transforming into a Flame Avatar that directly blocked Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi's Soul Fusion Skill.
