"Team 'Seeking Defeat' wins!"
After a moment of stunned silence, the host made the judgment and announced the result of the match.
The live audience was also shocked.
Although they lost their Gold Spirit Coins, they felt that this battle was somewhat worth it.
Team 'Raging Fire', a Silver Spirit Fighter team, a powerful team with four Silver Spirit Badge members, was easily defeated by a two-person team.
And one of those two was an auxiliary Spirit Master.
This...
What was the difference between this and one versus seven?
In such a matchup, the 'one' side actually crushed the opposition to win.
Tonight's Great Spirit Arena was destined to be silent, quiet.
Even though the outside world was noisy, the hearts of the audience and the members of Team Raging Fire were silent.
Winning the battle was a given.
Su Wen didn't become complacent because of it.
His true spirit power rank had reached level forty-eight. Picking off seven Spirit Elders was actually quite normal.
Although he didn't use his fourth spirit skill, and the spirit power he used didn't exceed the level of a Spirit Elder.
But he was, after all, a Spirit Ancestor.
However, he was very satisfied with this battle.
A good start.
He immediately harvested several spirit skills he wanted to try.
"Displacement-type spirit skill... it involves space. I'll feel it out later. If it's suitable, I'll maintain it even if it consumes spirit power long-term."
"Partial elemental transformation spirit skill... the effect of immunity to same-attribute elemental attacks isn't very useful to me, but elemental transformation itself has other uses. I can try developing it."
"Finally, it's the clone-type spirit skill I've been looking forward to."
Although this clone was a flame clone, just a temporary clone, and not physical, it was still a clone.
Su Wen had some ideas he wanted to verify.
Walking down from the ring and returning to the lounge, Su Wen had already replicated the spirits of those two Spirit Masters.
At the same time, he also understood why the thin man hadn't appeared in the Spirit Master Tournament in the original story.
"First spirit skill: Flame Clone. Second spirit skill: Multiple Clones. Third spirit skill: Flame Displacement..."
Sensing this genius Spirit Master's skill configuration, Su Wen fell silent.
Very good!
There's a reason you aren't outstanding in the Spirit Elder stage.
So the core spirit skill is just the first one, Flame Clone?
It could be said that this thin man obtained a very good first spirit skill, but mistakenly developed it as his core.
At least in the early stages, it had no effect. With an insufficient number of spirit skills, many of his concepts were destined to be unrealizable.
Ideally, it was great; realistically, it was bleak.
"The condition for Flame Displacement is also a bit harsh." It required a flame link to swap places with the flame clone.
Without a continuous, area-of-effect flame-type spirit skill, this Flame Displacement would struggle to unleash its true effect.
"As for the 'Raging Fire Body', there's a gap between it and what I thought. Semi-elemental transformation doesn't have the characteristics I imagined; it just increases one's own fire resistance. The physical body is still physical; damage taken is still damage to the body."
However, increasing fire resistance was also a useful skill for Su Wen.
"It seems that if conditions permit in the future, I should try to replicate everything. Even if it's useless, I can discard it later. At least I can't miss out on spirit skills that might look different from their actual effects but are useful for my cultivation." Su Wen made a decision. He would treat this spirit battle training tour as a journey to collect spirits and spirit skills.
"Little Wen, your task for the next few days will also change. You and Rongrong will challenge Spirit Elder teams for the first three days. If you win all of them, starting from the fourth day, you will challenge Spirit Ancestor teams across levels. Of course, if you feel it's too strenuous, you can also try 2v2 challenges against Spirit Ancestor teams starting from the fourth day." Qin Ming quickly formulated a new plan for Su Wen's situation.
Su Wen's combat power was already severely over the standard.
Qin Ming could only try his best to create a separate cultivation plan for him.
"Okay."
The Royal Team's team battle also commenced shortly after, similarly winning with a crushing posture.
However, learning of Su Wen's record, Yu Tianheng and the others couldn't be happy at all. They didn't relax in the lounge but went to watch battles in various rings, learning the methods and combat techniques of many Spirit Masters.
In the evening, after dinner, they returned to the hotel early to meditate and cultivate.
Su Wen returned to his room, preparing to attempt the experiment he had been looking forward to for a long time.
"Flame Clone!"
His Book Spirit transformed into a flower formed of flames, and three illusory spirit rings floated beside him.
The first spirit ring flashed.
A clone constructed of flames condensed in front of Su Wen.
Su Wen's development of flames was extremely high. Controlling the flames to construct the Flame Clone at this moment, he lowered its temperature as much as possible, restraining the flame's damage to avoid destroying the surrounding floor.
Sensing the structure within the Flame Clone, Su Wen fell into deep thought.
"Will it work?"
He didn't know if such a Flame Clone could meet the conditions.
He used his spirit power to wrap and isolate the entire room, then took out a black box from his storage spirit tool.
Opening the box, the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone appeared before his eyes.
The aura emitted by the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone was very gentle. Plus, Su Wen had specifically developed methods for this, shielding its fluctuations with spirit power.
He took out this right leg bone and tried to install it on the Flame Clone's right leg.
"No reaction at all." Su Wen was slightly disappointed. "It seems I still have to absorb the spirit bone myself to obtain its skills."
Once a spirit bone was absorbed, it was difficult to remove. Limb bones were okay; one could cut off their arm or leg to take out the bone. But torso bones and skull bones couldn't be removed unless the Spirit Master died.
Except for External Spirit Bones, a Spirit Master only had six chances to absorb spirit bones in their lifetime.
Su Wen had high aspirations. After obtaining the immortal herbs, he had gained his own confidence. Now he felt that he wouldn't lack spirit bones in the future, nor ten-thousand-year ones. Plus, since the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone had a useless flying skill, he hadn't absorbed it directly at the time.
Yet this right leg bone had a god-tier recovery skill attracting him.
So, he thought of using clone-type spirit skills to try and briefly fuse with it to use the bone skill.
Now, at least, the Flame Clone couldn't fulfill this idea.
He put the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone back into the box, closed it, and then stored it back into his storage spirit tool.
The Flame Clone ability failed to achieve results in the idea of briefly fusing spirit bones, but it was also the core of displacement, so it wasn't useless.
"Maintaining the replication page of the Snow Silkworm doesn't consume much, but the consumption of replicating these two spirits this time is a bit noticeable for me."
This was a constant consumption, not a one-time cost.
Over months and years, it would be a large figure.
In the future, Su Wen might also have to replicate many potentially useful spirit skills, and the burden would only grow larger.
"I need to think of a way to deal with this."
