Shrek, Gold Level Spirit Fighting Team
Part 1 (TL by Bagelson)
Qin Ming thought to himself, the Shrek Seven Devils’ circumstances should definitely be the same as his. In other words, the Shrek Seven Devils before him should be even younger than the Emperor Team’s seven students fostered at the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, and also more outstanding. He was also only too well aware of the Shrek Academy’s circumstances. With the Academy’s circumstances like that, unexpectedly able to foster these genius Spirit Master, what did this imply?
The Shrek Seven Devils’ gazes were at this moment all focused on Qin Ming, the previous fight to them was so challenging, right now it turned out the opponents’ teacher actually was their senior, this kind of feeling to them was fantastic, and also somewhat strange.
Flender turned to the Shrek Seven Devils, saying:
“Well, you go settle your points first. Afterwards return at once. Wuji, Qin Ming, we’ll leave.”
Flender’s trio left, only leaving the Shrek Seven Devils, right now, the seven with the help of Oscar’s recovery sausage had already recovered a lot of their physical strength, spirit power had also recovered somewhat.
Ma Hongjun muttered to himself:
“Unexpectedly I was already so awesome, even the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy’s elite were unable to beat me. Haha, I really am talented.”
Dai Mubai grumpily hit the top of Fatty’s head,
“Talented your head. Was the Emperor Team beaten by you? That was little San being awesome. If we had to rely on you, perhaps we would long ago have been beaten until we pissed in terror.”
Fatty grinned, saying:
“Boss Dai, no need to say that. Didn’t Grandmaster say we are one entity, each person contributes, little San is awesome, but I, Fatty, also have real skill. However, third brother, your younger brother thanks you.”
Xiao Wu baffled looked at Fatty, saying:
“You’re thanking little San for what?”
Fatty chuckled, looking at Tang San with an expression clearly showing some gratitude,
“Although I, Fatty, am not regarded as clever, I absolutely am not a fool. When little San confronted that shield attack, he never resorted to using Oscar’s mushroom sausage to dodge. Of course it was because I was behind him with Oscar and Ning Rongrong. Otherwise, if he had only taken it a bit easy and flown off, then what would those two Black Tortoises have been looking at?”
Tang San smiling said:
“Weren’t you just saying that we are one entity, I can never betray a teammate. Everyone are our people, there’s no need for words of gratitude, if I show an opening, will you not also just like that come to my aid? Boss Dai, let’s leave. After drawing the points and changing spirit fighter level we’ll go back early. Oh, that’s right, just now senior Qin Ming said the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy was what kind of academy?”
Dai Mubai was speechless a while,
“Little San, you’re not saying, you don’t even know about Heaven Dou Imperial Academy?”
Tang San scratched his head, saying:
“I really don’t know!”
To the side Xiao Wu nodded,
“I also don’t know. Don’t tell me they’re very famous?”
Ning Rongrong said:
“How can it be described as ‘famous’. Heaven Dou Imperial College was founded by the Heaven Dou Empire’s imperial family. Throughout history the dean of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy has always been a concurrent position for the Heaven Dou Empire’s regent. Famous, you ask? In Heaven Dou Empire the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy is the single largest Advanced Spirit Master Academy. Every kind of facility is perfect beyond imagination. Originally, if I hadn’t been enrolled at Shrek Academy, I might have gone there.”
Dai Mubai said:
“Only it’s a pity, although Heaven Dou Academy is good in itself, their connection to the imperial family brings major restrictions. The Heaven Dou Imperial Academy’s first requirement for accepting students is that the student has to be a noble, making a lot of remarkable commoner students unable to join. Also precisely because the students are nobles leads to the facilities being faultless and the teacher’s strength formidable and thus the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy is always the first ranked, but not a lot of famous Spirit Masters appear from there.”
Royal family connection. Tang San slowly nodded, he wasn’t envious of the other academy’s facilities, he was only somewhat curious about this Academy, that’s all. It was no wonder the Emperor Team members all possessed such powerful spirits, unexpectedly it was because they came from this kind of famous academy.
Oscar suddenly said:
“Boss Dai, Tang San, did you see how high senior Qin Ming’s present rank is?”
Dai Mubai looked blank,
“Going by senior’s appearance, he should already be over thirty years old. The Academy’s previous record was thirtieth rank at age fourteen, still two months earlier than you. Like this it would appear senior Qin Ming is at least fiftieth ranked. At thirty already over fiftieth rank, truly powerful. No wonder he could become a teacher at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.”
Tang San slowly nodded, expressing approval of Dai Mubai’s conjecture.
Oscar shook his head, saying:
“I don’t see it like that. At fiftieth rank becoming a teacher at an Advanced Spirit Master Academy is admittedly no problem. But what you must take into account is that Qin Ming brought the Emperor Team. Then, his position at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy will inevitably be very high. Without guaranteed strength, is this possible? I think that even if he isn’t sixtieth rank, then perhaps he isn’t far from it.”
Fatty was clearly somewhat impatient with standing here,
“Fine. Let’s go. If you want to know senior Qin Ming’s rank, just go back and ask. There’s no need to stand here and guess.”
One month of spirit fighting had at last ended, defeating the Emperor Team, the Shrek Seven Devils obtained a team spirit fighting record of twenty eight complete victories, furthermore according to the agreement between Grandmaster and Suotuo Great Spirit Arena, apart from Oscar and Ning Rongrong, each person would raise their one versus one fighting record by one bout. And besides Fatty who didn’t have a partner, the other six each obtained one two versus two victory record. After so many spirit fights, each person was somewhat curious about their points. They also didn’t know what kind of degree their points from successive victories could reach.
This couldn’t just be about points, at the same time there was the award money. All were today, on the last day of the month, calculated and distributed.
Without waiting for the seven to go to the specialized point calculation area, that manager Ao already took the initiative to come to them, asking the seven to come to a high level Spirit Master area specially dedicated to calculate points.
Manager Ao’s face was currently flushed with success, Shrek Seven Devils prevailed over Emperor Team, not only averting losses for Suotuo Great Spirit Arena, but furthermore making the Great Spirit Arena a large profit. To these outstanding Spirit Masters, Suotuo Great Spirit Arena naturally wouldn’t be stingy.
Manager Ao handed over a black card to Shrek Seven Devils team captain Dai Mubai,
“This is the agreed upon sum of ten thousand gold spirit coins, mister team captain. This black card is usable at any bank on the Continent, and can be directly converted into the corresponding amount.”
Dai Mubai also wasn’t polite, directly taking the black card and placing it in his chest,
“Manager Ao, could you calculate our points now. We’re still tired, hoping to return early to rest.”
“Of course, of course.”
Manager Ao was exceptionally polite, hastily gesturing for a staff member to the side to calculate this past month’s points for the Shrek Seven Devils.
He had clearly seen today’s team spirit battle with his own eyes, Tang San was admittedly remarkable, but he regarded Dai Mubai’s and Zhu Zhuqing’s spirit fusion ability as even more significant. As a matter of fact, among Spirit Masters, the appearance of the spirit fusion ability was extremely rare, once the users’ strength increased a certain degree, then, the spirit fusion ability would be an existence opposing Heaven. To young Spirit Masters with this kind of potential, the Great Spirit Arena absolutely hoped to entice them. Therefore to Dai Mubai, this manager Ao was even more polite. He already thought, next month, when the Shrek Seven Devils again came to join spirit fights, he would look after them especially well, as far as possible winning over these youngsters with outstanding strength. But how could he know that this was the last spirit fight of the Shrek Seven Devils at the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena.
The calculation results appeared very quickly. The staff member held out a calculation form:
“Evil Eye White Tiger: Because of there being more than three months between previous months’ fights and this month’s first fight, and previously being without a record of five successive victories, previous months’ obtained spirit fight victories will not be counted cumulatively with this month’s successive victories.
One versus one spirit fights, this months achievement: twenty six wins and two losses, among these, the two lost bouts separating fifteen bouts out of twenty seven bouts, therefore, the number of bouts with five or more successive victories are divided into two calculations, altogether ten bouts, five bouts with ten successive victories or more.
Obtained points: 609.
Two versus two spirit fights, Dual Winged White Tiger combination member, seventeen wins and eleven losses, among them two bouts with five or more successive victories.
Obtained points: 24.
Team spirit fights, Shrek Seven Devils team captain, twenty eight victories, among them five bouts with five or more successive victories, eighteen bouts with ten successive victories or more.
Obtained points: 1855.
Obtained points at the start of the month: 3, this month’s obtained points, grand total of 2488, overall obtained points: 2491. Spirit fighter badge advances to silver spirit fighter level.”
Finishing the announcement, the staff member handed over a silver spirit fighter badge already prepared according to Dai Mubai’s remaining record. Furthermore handing over another black card, containing the gold coin bonus for successive victories.
“Sausage Monopoly: Prior to this month without a spirit fight record. This month’s performance:
One versus one spirit fights, none.
Two versus two spirit fights, Double Winged White Tiger combination member, seventeen victories and eleven losses, among them two bouts with five or more successive victories. Obtained points: 24.
Team spirit fights, Shrek Seven Devils team member, twenty eight successive victories, among them five bouts with five or more successive victories, eighteen bouts with ten or more successive victories. Obtained points: 1855.
Previous months points: 0, this months points, grand total of 1855, overall obtained points: 1879. Spirit fighter badge advances to silver spirit fight level.”
Part 2 (TL by Bagelson)
In the same manner, Oscar also received a special silver spirit fighter badge and gold spirit coins on a card.
The third person’s turn naturally was Tang San, among everyone, Tang San’s record undoubtedly was the best, whether it was one versus one, two versus two or team spirit fights, he had a perfect record.
“Thousand Hands Asura: Because of there being more than three months between previous months’ fights and this month’s first fight, and previously being without a record of five successive victories, previous months’ obtained spirit fight victories will not be counted cumulatively with this month’s successive victories.
One versus one spirit fights, this months record is twenty eight successive victories, among them five bouts with five or more successive victories, eighteen bouts with ten successive victories or more. Obtained points: 1855.
Two versus two spirit fights, Three Five Combination member, twenty eight successive victories, among them five bouts with five or more successive victories, eighteen bouts with ten successive victories or more. Obtained points: 1855.
Team spirit fights, Shrek Seven Devils team member, twenty eight successive victories, among them five bouts with five or more successive victories, eighteen bouts with ten successive victories or more. Obtained points: 1855.
Obtained points at the start of the month: 2, this month’s obtained points, grand total of 5565, overall obtained points: 5567. Spirit fighter badge advances to gold spirit fighter level.”
Let alone Tang San and the Shrek Seven Devils, even manager Ao to the side couldn’t help but be dumbfounded when he heard the number five thousand five hundred sixty seven. As far as he could remember there had never been an iron spirit fighter Spirit Master able to receive such a high score in one month. Unexpectedly able to leap straight from the iron spirit fighter level to the five thousand points required for gold spirit fights. Let alone Suotuo Spirit Arena, something like this might not have happened in any Great Spirit Arena on the Continent.
Taking the heavy gold spirit fighter badge, Tang San showed a faint smile, his effort for one month hadn’t been wasted.
“Not good.”
Ma Hongjun suddenly shouted out.
Dai Mubai unhappily glared at him,
“What’s not good?”
Ma Hongjun stared at Tang San:
“Since third brother has a gold spirit fighter badge, then hereafter when we again participate in team spirit fights won’t we have to battle with gold spirit fighter level teams? How will we win? A silver spirit fighter level Emperor Team was already so dangerous to defeat.”
Hearing Fatty’s words everyone immediately understood, team spirit fights were calculated according to the member with the highest spirit fighter level and the highest spirit power level. In other words, with a gold spirit fighter member, they had to participate in gold spirit fighter level matches. For a moment everyone couldn’t help looking distracted, staring strangely at Tang San.
Tang San smiled wryly:
“Apparently I have too many points. It also seems that isn’t a good thing.”
With them having this kind of notion, manager Ao to the side couldn’t look at them like this,
“This, I think you basically don’t have to worry about.”
Manager Ao looked at them with a wry smile,
“Everyone, let alone gold spirit fighter level, even if it is silver spirit fighter level teams, perhaps you would find it very difficult to find, unless the Emperor Team reappears.”
“Why?”
Tang San curious asked.
Manager Ao said:
“Generally speaking, obtaining points is done incrementally, successive victories is very difficult to obtain, circumstances like you obtaining points so quickly, after all these years it’s still my first time seeing it. Under normal circumstances, among thirtieth level Spirit Masters, there will also only be iron spirit fighters and copper spirit fighters. Silver spirit fighters basically wouldn’t appear, before finally reaching fortieth level or higher. As spirit power increases, one’s spirit’s advantages emerges, possessing a certain advantage on the same level, points will increase quickly, advancing to silver spirit fighter, on even higher levels to gold spirit fighter. Something like you, on the thirtieth level becoming a gold spirit fighter team, I have never even heard of. I don’t know the circumstances in Star Luo Empire, but in our Star Dou Empire’s Great Spirit Arenas there wouldn’t be a second thirtieth level gold spirit fighter team. Even if it was thirtieth level spirit fighter teams, perhaps there wouldn’t be more than five. Furthermore it would also be very difficult to find a team more powerful than Emperor Team. Therefore, you can safely believe that on your level, you are the strongest.”
Without opponents? The Shrek Seven Devils all smiled, apart from Tang San, the eldest among them was no more than fifteen. As Spirit Masters, how couldn’t they hope for their strength to be formidable?
A common voice appeared in their hearts: ‘We, Shrek Seven Devils, are a gold spirit fighting team.’
The remaining four people also calculated their points. With the guarantee of twenty eight successive victories, without exception, all had more than a thousand points, smoothly obtaining silver spirit fighter badges.
Until they left the Great Spirit Arena, everyone still thought it was somewhat inconceivable. By now, they had already found a lonely lavatory to change their costumes.
Looking at the sparkling stars in the night sky, Oscar murmured:
“One month, in just one month I’ve really become a silver spirit fighter? Every time hereafter I again participate in spirit fights I’ll be able to obtain plenty of gold spirit coins? This really is too unimaginable.”
His arm suddenly smarting, Oscar pivoted quickly and shuddered, feeling wronged looking at the beauty next to him,
“Rongrong, what are you doing pinching me?”
Ning Rongrong’s beautiful young face expressed a smile harmless to men or beasts,
“I checked whether it hurts, if it hurts, then it isn’t a dream.”
As the two auxiliary system Spirit Master, able to so quickly obtain silver spirit fighter qualifications, their thoughts were naturally the closest.
Oscar didn’t hold any resentment for being pinched by Ning Rongrong, kneading the place where he was pinched, he said in a deadpan voice:
“I’ve decided, this month I will not bathe.”
Tang San smiling said:
“That’s no problem, as long as you don’t sleep in the same room as me. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee I won’t throw you and your stink in the river while you sleep.”
