Huo Wu stood rooted to the spot, her eyes filled with emptiness and despair. She never imagined that her strongest attack, condensed with all her might, would be so vulnerable before Xuan Ming. Her body went limp, and she almost collapsed to the ground, but Huo Wushuang quickly caught her.
"This… how is this possible?" Huo Wu murmured, her voice trembling with a hint of unwillingness.
"It's just a match, why take it so hard?" Xuan Ming exhaled lightly, and the white light covering the Great Spirit Arena dissipated.
Huo Wushuang took a deep breath, suppressing the shock and unwillingness in his heart. He cupped his hands towards Xuan Ming and said, "Thank you, Brother Xuan Ming, for showing mercy. We concede this match."
Xuan Ming nodded slightly, said nothing more, and turned to walk towards the Royal Fighting Team.
At this moment, the audience seemed to awaken from a dream, erupting in thunderous applause and cheers.
Although they still hadn't seen Xuan Ming's Spirit or spirit ring, witnessing such an extraordinary scene was already shocking enough.
"Aren't you going to announce the result?" Xuan Ming looked confusedly at Dou Dou, the announcer, who was still flying in the air, lost in thought.
Always spacing out, isn't that unprofessional?
Dugu Yan and her team looked at Xuan Ming with strange expressions. Someone seemed oblivious to his own charm.
Xuan Ming's lethality to girls was just as terrifying as Gu Yuena's lethality to boys!
In their previous matches, the opposing Spirit Masters had also been so captivated by Gu Yuena that they spaced out and were instantly defeated!
Even at the start of this match, Huo Wushuang was clearly momentarily stunned by Gu Yuena's appearance; otherwise, how could they have completed the encirclement so easily?
Dou Dou then snapped out of her daze and quickly announced in her sweet voice, "This match, the Royal Fighting Team wins!" Her voice, filled with unconcealed excitement, echoed throughout the Great Spirit Arena.
As the match results were announced, the Blazing Academy team walked off the stage with dejected expressions.
Huo Wu's steps were a bit unsteady, her eyes still filled with loss and unwillingness. She couldn't understand how her powerful attack, condensed with such effort, had dissipated like a bubble before Xuan Ming.
Huo Wushuang walked beside her, gently patted her shoulder, and comforted her, "Don't take it too hard. His strength truly exceeds our imagination. Consider this a lesson and go back and reflect on it."
Huo Wu bit her lip, said nothing, and just nodded silently.
"Huo Wushuang, don't be sad. We'll get revenge for you in a few days."
Just as the Blazing Academy team was in a state of extreme dejection, Feng Xiaotian of the Divine Wind Academy led his team over.
"You guys?" Huo Wushuang scoffed.
If they had previously doubted Xuan Ming's reputation in the Great Spirit Arena, now they felt that those rumors were far too modest!
The moment that Domain unfolded, they had already felt the absolute gap in strength between them!
Especially the moment Xuan Ming directly extinguished Huo Wu's out-of-control Huo Wu Yaoyang (Fire Dance Bright Sun), they all realized a truth!
Xuan Ming could completely wipe out their entire team by himself!
Their strengths were simply not on the same level!
Feng Xiaotian chuckled, "Wushuang, I'm not mocking you. Don't forget, we are Wind. The Royal Fighting Team's poisonous mist control system is meaningless to us, and their team coordination clearly has major flaws. The reason you lost so decisively today was also because… uh, because you were careless. We've learned our lesson and won't be so impulsive."
If Huo Wu hadn't further increased the power of Huo Wu Yaoyang (Fire Dance Bright Sun), the situation earlier wouldn't have been so awkward. Although Xuan Ming's move that directly extinguished Huo Wu Yaoyang (Fire Dance Bright Sun) was very strange, it was clearly also because Huo Wu couldn't control her own move at that time.
Their Divine Wind Team's flexibility was the strongest among the Five Element Academy. Against the Royal Fighting Team, with the opponent's control system Spirit Master being countered, their chances of winning were still quite good.
"Oh, come on." Huo Wushuang didn't even want to argue with Feng Xiaotian.
"When you truly face him, you'll realize how ridiculous your current thoughts are."
Feng Xiaotian still wanted to say something, but Huo Wu, who was overly disheartened, suddenly spoke, "Brother, I'm tired."
Huo Wushuang was stunned. Seeing Huo Wu's dispirited appearance, he didn't bother with Feng Xiaotian and directly pulled his sister away. The Blazing Academy team members quickly followed.
Her strongest move had been extinguished so casually by the opponent. Knowing Huo Wu's proud and competitive personality, her mentality was truly shattered!
… "That move he used just now, was it Dark Devour?"
In the VIP box, Di Tian and his group, who came to watch Gu Yuena's match, also saw Xuan Ming's move.
Others didn't understand, but they saw clearly: the sudden black aurora that erupted within Xuan Ming's Domain was darkness!
That out-of-control fireball was devoured by darkness!
Di Tian's most common defensive move was Dark Devour!
"It's not just darkness, there's also space. It's a devour triggered by the fusion of two attributes, as if a dark void was directly created at the core of that fireball, swallowing all the flames almost instantly. It looks as if it was forcibly extinguished," Di Tian said.
"It seems the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger has indeed given him a significant boost. At the Lake of Life, the power of this move was still very ordinary. Now, he can not only activate it so smoothly, but also control the force very precisely."
"So, that kind of training of yours… is really effective?" Xiong Jun asked strangely.
"Oh, please. If his one-sided beatings could be called training, why haven't you made any progress despite being beaten by him for so long?" Zi Ji said, exasperated.
Xiong Jun's expression froze, speechless… "Teacher, what kind of move was that…?"
Hu Liena, who had just finished her seclusion and felt she could finally stand up, felt a slight collapse in her mentality after seeing Xuan Ming extinguish Huo Wu's fireball so easily.
When did this guy's Domain become so strong?
"I don't know. It should be that his Domain evolved after absorbing the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's spirit ring," Bibi Dong speculated.
According to Xuan Ming, he not only absorbed the spirit ring with Blood Spear, but also directly swallowed the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger's life core that it left behind.
If it were a normal Spirit Beast, it should have produced a Spirit Bone, but the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger didn't produce a Spirit Bone, only that bead. In other words, that bead could also be regarded as a product similar to a Spirit Bone.
After Xuan Ming absorbed that item, he not only gained the evil attribute, but all his other attributes also received a significant boost.
The boost the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger brought to Xuan Ming was almost equivalent to a set of 100,000-year spirit rings and Spirit Bones.
"Aren't you going to find him?" Bibi Dong looked at Hu Liena, who was looking down, a bit depressed.
"Tonight, I need to compose myself." Hu Liena was a bit down.
She had been in seclusion for several months, thinking she could finally stand up before Xuan Ming. The result?
She did stand up, but Xuan Ming directly flew up!
… After the match, Xuan Ming did not stay in the Great Spirit Arena but returned to the hotel to rest. Dugu Yan and her group stayed to watch the matches and understand the situation of other teams.
After all, their team had no substitutes, so in terms of hiding their strength, they could only try not to use too many Spirit Abilities.
So far, besides Gu Yuena, who hadn't used a single Spirit Ability, Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing had only used their first three Spirit Abilities.
Although victory was inevitable with Xuan Ming there, they couldn't completely become mere accompaniments. Unless necessary, Xuan Ming would try not to make a move, mainly allowing them to perform and showcase their abilities.
Inside the room, Xuan Ming was concentrating on condensing Dark Demonic Evil Lightning. Gray evil aura mixed with violent lightning, flowing with terrifying black light.
This was not a Spirit Ability; it was purely Xuan Ming attempting to fuse the attributes he possessed, which could also be called a self-created Spirit Ability. The evil attribute itself possessed extremely strong corrosive and erosive effects, and when fused with violent lightning, it would become an incredibly terrifying area-of-effect bombardment.
However, this fusion between attributes was not so friendly. The evil attribute was too overbearing. Fortunately, his own lightning bloodline was of an extremely high level, as it originated from the God of Thunder's bloodline; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to fuse with this evil attribute.
Knock knock!
A soft knock came from outside the door. Xuan Ming frowned slightly, stopped his action of condensing Dark Demonic Evil Lightning, raised his hand and waved, and the not-yet-fully-formed evil lightning dissipated into nothingness.
He stood up, walked slowly to the door, opened it, and saw Huo Wu standing outside, looking dispirited.
Xuan Ming looked at the empty corridor and asked, "Something wrong?"
Huo Wu slowly raised her head, looking at Xuan Ming, who was half a head taller than her, her eyes flashing with a hint of confusion, "How did you do that? My Huo Wu Yaoyang (Fire Dance Bright Sun)… how did it disappear?"
She hadn't even seen Xuan Ming's Spirit, let alone his spirit ring!
But her Huo Wu Yaoyang (Fire Dance Bright Sun) had disappeared within that suddenly erupting black aurora!
She still didn't even know how she had lost!
She was indeed strong and competitive, and she found it hard to accept defeat, but she found it even harder to lose so inexplicably!
"Shouldn't you be asking your teacher about this? Why ask me?" Xuan Ming asked, puzzled.
"I asked, but your Domain blocked their perception. They also don't know what that black aurora was," Huo Wu said.
Xuan Ming was slightly taken aback, "So? You came to ask me?"
Huo Wu bit her lip, her eyes showing a trace of stubbornness, "I want to know where exactly I lost. Even if I have to lose, I want to lose clearly."
Xuan Ming hesitated, "Aren't we opponents?"
"Blazing Academy is not your opponent," Huo Wu said.
"We pose no threat to you. This isn't for the sake of the match; it's merely to satisfy my personal question."
The moment the white light descended, she knew very well that she had lost!
Before that, Huo Wu Yaoyang (Fire Dance Bright Sun) was still in her hands. Although she couldn't control it, she could barely stabilize it.
But after that white light descended, her Huo Wu Yaoyang (Fire Dance Bright Sun) broke free from her control! The originally fragile connection completely disappeared in an instant!
It was as if it didn't belong to her anymore!
It was taken away!
For a moment, she thought Huo Wu Yaoyang (Fire Dance Bright Sun) was going to fall on her.
But the next second, it was gone!
It just vanished!
Whether her Huo Wu Yaoyang (Fire Dance Bright Sun) was taken away or suddenly disappeared, she couldn't understand it!
