After deciding to resolve it outside, Ye ZhiQiu turned and walked out. The large black tortoise shell on his back swayed comically, but the spirit power he released was quite profound.
The students of Canghui Academy also followed Ye ZhiQiu out of the hotel. Dai Mubai whispered to Tang San, "This old man is over fifty ranks, and his Spirit, Black Tortoise, is a very good Beast Spirit. Be careful later. I'll block his attacks in front; you need to be quicker. I'm afraid I can't hold on for too long."
Tang San said, "We might not necessarily lose. Although his spirit power is stronger than ours, his Spirit has a flaw."
At this moment, the others had already gathered around and happened to hear Tang San's words.
Tang San said, "His Spirit is Black Tortoise. I can confirm that he is a defensive War Soul Master. Most of his active and passive Spirit Abilities should be for defense. Therefore, although his Spirit is much stronger than ours, the offensive threat he can pose to us is not great. High spirit power, but no suitable offensive means—what threat can that bring us? So, I suggest two methods to deal with him."
Tang San knew much more about Spirit theoretical knowledge than the others. Just by looking at Ye ZhiQiu's Spirit, he had already made many judgments.
"The first method is to use our speed to maneuver around him. He is a teacher after all, and his spirit power is much higher than ours, so he naturally won't limit the number of people we send out. Therefore, I suggest that I, Mubai, and Zhuqing handle this task, because the three of us are the fastest."
"While maneuvering with him, we must unleash our fastest speed to ensure he cannot hit us with his attacks. Then, we look for opportunities to find his weak points and attack. However, the Black Tortoise's defense is very strong; we might not be able to successfully attack him. Due to the protection of his shell, my Blue Silver Grass spikes and poison probably won't have any effect on him. Therefore, I recommend the second method more."
"Similar to the first method, the three of us will still provide the distraction. The Black Tortoise is of water attribute, which happens to counter Fatty's Phoenix flames. Water can counter fire, and fire can also counter water. Fatty's flames are so special. So, you will attack him from the periphery. With Oscar's Sausage support, your attack duration will not be an issue. Our goal is to wear him down. Xiao Wu, you are responsible for support, rotating among the three of us in front so everyone can get supplies from Oscar. Although our spirit power is not as strong as his, we have Little Ao and a numerical advantage. We will take advantage of his lack of sufficiently threatening offensive Spirit Abilities."
"As for Rongrong, she will be responsible for finding the right moment to provide us with auxiliary buffs." Ning Rongrong nodded, indicating that she understood.
Soon, the tactics were discussed.
Everyone walked out together. Seven against one, they were all very confident. Moreover, challenging a strong opponent was clearly beneficial for improving one's own strength.
Soon, everyone arrived outside the town. Perhaps because of the five spirit rings on Ye ZhiQiu, their group attracted many spectators from the town.
As they walked out of the town, Ye ZhiQiu's mind calmed down a bit. Seeing the seven young people walking out, he said in a deep voice, "I'll give you one more chance. It's still not too late to admit your mistake now."
Dai Mubai gave an evil smile, "Mistake? What is a mistake, what is right? Whoever has the bigger fist is right. Defeat us first before you talk."
At this point, it was impossible for Ye ZhiQiu not to act. He snorted angrily, "You all come at me together. I will teach you how to behave on behalf of your academy."
(Yun Chuan, hidden in the shadows: Fight, fight as much as you want! As long as you don't touch the girls, you can hit those boys however you like. Even if you cripple them, I can easily heal them.)
Fatty chuckled, saying, "Remember, we are not humans, we are monsters."
At this moment, Dai Mubai had already taken the lead. The second halo on his body glowed brightly, and a strong white light condensed into a ball. A spherical light projectile had already burst from his mouth. It was precisely the Evil Eyes White Tiger's second Spirit Ability, White Tiger Light Wave.
As Dai Mubai unleashed the White Tiger Light Wave, Zhu Zhuqing's body moved diagonally, instantly accelerating to circle around Ye ZhiQiu's flank. Tang San also moved at the same time, charging towards Ye ZhiQiu from another direction.
Fatty's Mohawk-style long hair trembled, and his first spirit ring glowed brightly as a purplish-red Phoenix Fire Wire shot out. The four of them moved almost simultaneously, showing no fear despite their opponent being a Spirit King above rank fifty.
Facing the simultaneous attack from the four, Ye ZhiQiu's entire body glowed with intense black light. He let out a low roar, and his first and second spirit rings lit up simultaneously. His body quickly rotated halfway, revealing the tortoise shell on his back. At the same time, a stream of black light, like flowing water, was released, carrying a chilling aura.
As soon as the battle began, Ye ZhiQiu used two of his Spirit Abilities: Black Tortoise Body Protection and Black Water Ice Seal. His goal was simple: to quickly deal with these youngsters in the shortest time possible, give them a profound lesson, vent his anger, and demonstrate the strength of Canghui Academy.
Although the Shrek Academy students were formidable, they were still young, and their spirit power was vastly different from his. Ye ZhiQiu believed that with his rank fifty-three spirit power releasing the Black Water Ice Seal, he could directly freeze all of them.
The White Tiger Light Wave exploded on Ye ZhiQiu's back. Just as Tang San had judged, the Black Tortoise's defense was among the top ranks of Beast Spirits, and his spirit power was much higher than Dai Mubai's. This attack had no effect whatsoever; Ye ZhiQiu's body didn't even move.
At this moment, Tang San had already approached Ye ZhiQiu's body, being the closest to his opponent. He keenly felt an extremely cold aura rushing towards him, as if his entire bloodstream was about to freeze. With a jolt in his heart, he quickly activated the Mysterious Heaven Skill within his body to resist the cold. His forward charge came to an abrupt halt, but his Blue Silver Grass Spirit rapidly spread out, coiling towards Ye ZhiQiu from all directions.
The saying goes, "Water and fire are merciless." Whether it's cold or heat, both have a certain restraining effect on plant-type Spirits. The speed of the Blue Silver Grass was noticeably slowed under the influence of the Black Water Ice Seal. Just then, Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Fire Wire reached Ye ZhiQiu's tortoise shell.
Although the scorching heat of Fatty's Phoenix flames was significantly weakened by the Black Water Ice Seal, similarly, with the arrival of the Phoenix Fire Wire, the chill of the Black Water Ice Seal also decreased considerably.
The purplish-red flames, though unable to penetrate the tortoise shell, did not extinguish but clung to it as if sticky.
Ma Hongjun's Spirit was mutated, so it naturally couldn't be judged by ordinary fire. Ye ZhiQiu only felt a scorching heat on his back, which startled him. Taking advantage of this momentary opportunity, the Blue Silver Grass had already coiled up, tightly adhering to his body. Zhu Zhuqing's ethereal figure silently appeared in the blind spot behind Ye ZhiQiu's side. Her first Spirit Ability, Hell Rush Stab, was activated, aiming directly for Ye ZhiQiu's neck.
Suddenly, Ye ZhiQiu's neck retracted, and a strange scene occurred: his entire head actually shrank into his chest cavity, perfectly dodging Zhu Zhuqing's sharp claws. His third spirit ring lit up, and a mist of water sprayed from his mouth, covering the Phoenix flames on his back.
Although the Phoenix flames had strong combustibility, Ye ZhiQiu's Black Water was not to be underestimated, and his spirit power was far higher than Fatty's. The purplish-red flames on the tortoise shell still extinguished.
The intense coldness rose again. Tang San almost immediately withdrew his Blue Silver Grass, otherwise, if the Blue Silver Grass froze, it would have a considerable impact on him.
Zhu Zhuqing's cat claws slapped against the tortoise shell, using the force to spring up. But in that brief contact, Zhu Zhuqing's right hand had already frozen stiff.
Just then, Dai Mubai arrived and unhesitatingly activated his White Tiger Body Barrier. Amidst the shining light of his first spirit ring, a pair of large tiger paw blades extended, directly striking Ye ZhiQiu's back.
Dai Mubai's spirit power was the strongest among the Shrek students. The difference in effect between rank thirty-seven spirit power and rank twenty-something was still very large. With two muffled thuds, Ye ZhiQiu's body staggered, stumbling forward two steps. But he quickly turned halfway, his head emerging from his chest cavity again. He opened his mouth and a stream of black cold air directly sprayed towards Dai Mubai. Third Spirit Ability: Black Water Surge!
The intense cold made Dai Mubai's whole body shiver. Although the White Tiger Body Barrier could block some of the cold, it wasn't enough to completely resist it, as his opponent's spirit power was more than ten ranks higher than his.
Just then, a second purplish-red flame appeared, perfectly blocking in front of Dai Mubai, colliding with the black water. Dense steam rose. Although the flame was suppressed by the Black Water, Dai Mubai took this opportunity to retreat rapidly.
This brief exchange left Tang San a little confused. Was my judgment wrong? Is this Black Tortoise not a defensive Spirit? No, impossible. How could years of research by teacher be wrong? This Canghui Academy teacher's Spirit clearly hasn't mutated. But his chilling Spirit Ability is very difficult to deal with.
Little did they know, while Tang San and the others were surprised, Ye ZhiQiu was even more so. The combined attack of the four youngsters, though not injuring him, caused him considerable trouble.
Especially the Phoenix Fire Wire spewed by Ma Hongjun, which made Ye ZhiQiu deeply feel that this flame seemed to be his nemesis. If it weren't for that little Fatty's spirit power being too low, his Black Water would never have been able to withstand this strange flame.
And the two palms Dai Mubai just struck on his tortoise shell carried profound and domineering spirit power, full of explosive force. Although he had the tortoise shell for protection, it still caused a surge of qi and blood within Ye ZhiQiu.
After all, Black Tortoise Body Protection was only his first Spirit Ability. Although the Black Tortoise itself excelled in defense, the defensive power of just the first Spirit Ability was ultimately limited. What surprised Ye ZhiQiu the most was the cooperation between these four young people.
Although their cooperation itself was still very unrefined and couldn't reach a state of perfect fluidity, their individual abilities had strong complementarity. One was a powerful close-range attacker, one was a nimble skirmisher, one was a control system, and there was also a long-range attacker. Complementing each other, their attacking power could be maximized.
Where did this Shrek Academy come from?
In fact, how could Ye ZhiQiu know that these seven young men and women he saw before him were already all the students of Shrek Academy?
