Chapter 25 - Spirit Colosseum (1/2)
With the four different combinations set up, they had continued to battle every day. Each of them had the standard two matches per day and apart from that they also had one two v two battle except for Tang San who has two, two v two battles along with the usual two individual battles per day and they all had the team match.
This way they had a few weeks passed by and they had a battle with the Savage Combat Team during the start which was a landslide victory, they were all Spirit Elders and at the late stage, along with improved foundations and strength of their spirit's the Savage Combat Team never stood a chance.
After that, though the battles weren't tough they weren't easy either, there were still many spirit masters who were at the late stage and they were people who lived off the battles from the Colosseum along with that Grandmaster had also arranged for a few level-skipping matches where they battled with Spirit Ancestors but that was only as a team.
Though at times Tang San and the others had individual battles with a few Spirit Ancestors at the mid and late stages only Tang San had come out victorious every time. As for the rest, among the early stages of Spirit Ancestor, there wasn't anyone who was able to defeat the Devils and even a few mid and late stage Ancestors were defeated by them so it wasn't a complete loss either.
Nearly at the end of the month Grandmaster had left and went to register their team fight, when they saw the teachers coming back they all had serious expressions on their faces. Seeing that even the Seven of them had a serious expression on their face, Grandmaster came up and said,
”The next match won't be a level skipping but instead you'll be fighting some geniuses from the capital. The team is a silver ranked team with all of them in the 39th rank, here is the information about their members”
Captain: Yu Tian-Heng, Spirit: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, thirty-ninth ranked power attack system, Spirit Master.
Spirit rings: Two yellow, one purple.
Vice-captain: Dugu Yan, Spirit: Jade Phosphor Serpent, Thirty eighth-ranked control system Spirit Master.
Spirit rings: Two yellow, one purple.
Spirit rings: Two yellow, one purple.
Shi Mó, Spirit: Black Tortoise, thirty seventh-ranked defense system, Spirit Master.
Spirit rings: Two yellow, one purple.
Yu Feng, Spirit: Wind Chime Bird, ranked agility attack system, Spirit Master.
Spirit rings: Two yellow, one purple.
Osler, Spirit: Ghost Leopard, thirty-sixth ranked agility attack system, Spirit Master.
Spirit rings: Two yellow, one purple.
Xie Lingling, Spirit: Nine Heart Flowering Apple, thirty fifth-ranked auxiliary system, Spirit Master.
Spirit rings: Two yellow, one purple.
Right now they all had gathered enough points for Silver grade promotion.
Dai Mubai, 25 wins 2 losses in one - one battle's, 20 wins 7 losses two - two team battles.
Oscar, 20 wins 7 losses two - two team battles.
Tang San, 27 wins in one - one battle's, 54 wins two - two team battles.
Ma Hongjun, 23 wins 4 losses in one - one battle's, 27 wins two - two team battles.
Xiao Wu, 20 wins 7 losses in one - one battle's, 27 wins two - two team battles.
Ning Rongrong, 21 wins 5 losses in two - two team battles.
Zhu Zhuqing, 21 wins 5 losses in one - one battle's, 21 wins 5 losses two - two team battles.
They all had a proper fight record with 20+ wins in each category and Tang San had an even greater achievement with no losses at all and 54 wins in the two - two team battles. He was sure to get a Gold rank badge and maybe even higher.
Rongrong, on the other hand, was shocked by the support spirit in their team, she knew that the Nine Heart flowering apple was the topmost healing spirit on the continent.
”Grandmaster, in the fight we should first take care of the person with the Nine Heart Flowering Apple spirit, though it possesses only one healing ability it is really tough to counteract”
”I see, Tang San in this fight you'll be the one in charge of the strategy for the battle. As Ning Rongrong said, make sure you eliminate the support spirit master as soon as possible that is the only advice I will be giving you. Though you all are guaranteed to get a silver rank this match will be your test to pass this training stage.
The opponents this time are strong, first, you have to deal with the No.1 Beast Spirit in the continent, The BLue Tyrant Lightning Dragon. Even the Control system master in their team isn't ordinary, I suspect that she is related to 'that' person”
Everyone was in confusion when they heard Grandmaster's words, who did he mean by 'that' person??
Flender and the other teachers who were reading the list noticed her spirit, Jade Phosphorous Snake. Only then did realization strike them, it was none other than the infamous poison douluo Dugu Bo who had the same spirit.
Tang San with a serious face said,
”We won't disappoint you Grandmaster”
Grandmaster only nodded his head, he was the one who wanted their team to win the most. With them all almost being the same ranks though some are slightly lower compared to others victory in this match will mean that his disciple is better than the prodigy of his ex-clan.
For him, this was really important, though with the help of Tang San he was able to evolve his spirit to the Golden Saint Dragon and was able to use this as an excuse to return back he can't forget how he was treated back then. He wanted to show them all that even trash can become stronger, Blue Silver Grass can defeat the Blue Tyrant Lightning Dragon.
…
While Tang San and the rest were discussing their plan. Yu Tianheng, and the opponents side was also doing the same.
Captain: Evil Eye White Tiger, spirit: White Tiger, thirty-ninth ranked power attack system Spirit Master
Spirit rings: Two yellow, one purple
Vice-captain: Thousand Hands Asura, spirit: Blue Silver Grass, thirty-ninth ranked control system Spirit Master
Spirit rings: Two yellow, one purple
Soft Bones Demon Rabbit Queen, spirit: Rabbit Queen, thirty-seventh ranked close-quarters power attack system Spirit Master
Spirit rings: Two yellow, one purple
Evil Fire Phoenix, spirit: Evil Phoenix, thirty-eighth ranked power attack system Spirit Master
Hell Moon Civet, spirit: Hell Civet, thirty-eighth ranked agility attack system Spirit Master
Spirit rings: Two yellow, one purple
Sausage Monopoly, spirit: Sausage, thirty-sixth ranked auxiliary system Spirit Master
Spirit rings: Two yellow, one purple
Seven Treasures Glazed Tile, spirit: Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, thirty-sixth ranked auxiliary system Spirit Master
Spirit rings: Two yellow, one purple
”Teacher, are you sure this is the team the Colosseum has prepared to deal with us?? From my perspective, all I can say is that, though they have a good spirit ring configuration and ranks their spirits are nothing too great. The only noteworthy ones I can see are the Seven Treasured Glazed Tile Pagoda, the Evil Eyed White Tiger and this Evil Phoenix Spirit. The rest are not so great, one even has Blue Silver Grass as his Spirit, though it is great that he is able to raise it to the 39th rank I doubt that he will ever reach the Spirit Ancestor Rank in this life”
A black haired youth sitting in a sofa was saying this to a brown haired middle aged man, the black haired youth was the captain of the Emperor Team and the brown-haired man was the Teacher of these students, Qin Ming.
Qin Ming replied with a slight smile on his face,
”Trust me, this team is worth coming here for though they seem slightly ordinary their previous battle record is really astonishing. They had even participated in a few rank skipping battles too and have won most of them especially this Thousand Hands Asura, he has never lost a match in any of his Colosseum matches and has a perfect battle record in individual, two-teamed and group battles.
Don't underestimate him just because of his Spirit you will find yourself in a tough position if you do so. I have even some theories to predict that he has twin spirits with the other being of a support category”
