Although helpless about the restrictions set by Huo Tianyang, Su Wen never thought he would lose.
Sometimes, the power of a spirit skill didn't just depend on how much spirit power was outputted.
Of course, for the same spirit skill, the factors currently affecting its power on the Douluo Continent were generally considered to be the age of the spirit ring and the amount of spirit power outputted. And the upper limit of spirit power output was itself restricted by the age of the spirit ring.
Unfortunately, Su Wen couldn't be judged by conventional standards.
For Su Wen, the power of a spirit skill depended on two points: one was the amount of spirit power outputted, and the other was the utilization rate of that spirit power.
Even if the spirit power output was restricted, Su Wen was confident he could unleash power equivalent to a two-or-three-thousand-year spirit skill of an ordinary Spirit Master.
As for tag-team battles, they weren't worth mentioning to him.
Sorry, I'm not a Spirit Elder. I'm a Spirit Ancestor, a level forty-eight Spirit Ancestor!
"Su Wen, we won't lose again this time!" Huo Wushuang said confidently.
"Both sides, prepare." Teacher Wang reminded Huo Wushuang to stop setting flags and get ready for battle.
"Match, begin!"
BOOM!
A ball of flame exploded under Su Wen's feet instantly.
He didn't use the wind element, but the principle was the same.
The explosion of the flame caused the air to expand, pushing him forward.
Moreover, due to his ice and fire immunity, Su Wen didn't have to worry about the flame explosion damaging his legs.
Ice and fire immunity had actually already destined Su Wen to crush the many students of Blazing Academy.
His whole body was already covered in flames.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Huo Wushuang and threw a punch.
The spirit power output didn't exceed the standard, yet the weight of this punch made Huo Wushuang's face change.
"Third Spirit Skill, Raging Fire Tyrant Dragon!"
Claws emerged from his hands, his body swelled, and golden-red light burst from the dark red scales of his possessed spirit. Behind him, a dragon-shaped flame vaguely surged, as if a fire dragon had fallen into a rage.
Huo Wushuang's aura instantly became powerful.
"Second Spirit Skill, Explosive Dragon Claw!"
The flames behind him gathered on his right claw, swinging fiercely to collide with Su Wen's fist.
BOOM!
Huo Wushuang couldn't help but retreat.
Flames exploded under Su Wen's feet. Relying on his physical fitness, he forcibly canceled the backward momentum and instead continued forward to throw a punch.
His casual outburst was Huo Wushuang's limit.
Thud!
This punch landed on Huo Wushuang's chest. A scorching flame lingered on the chest of Huo Wushuang, who was possessed by the One-Horned Fire Tyrant Dragon, actually leaving a burn.
Hiss~
Feeling the burn, Huo Wushuang sucked in a cold breath.
Is this the feeling of being burned by fire?
Except for the period when his spirit had just awakened and he was still in the exploration stage, how many years had it been since he experienced this feeling?
This injury finally made him realize the root of Su Wen's strength.
It wasn't external, but rather Su Wen's development of fire.
A thousand-year second ring, mastering the Fire Demon Style in advance... these were all excuses!
What Su Wen truly surpassed them in was the excavation and development of fire.
Huo Wushuang's face was solemn, forced to admit this fact.
Su Wen didn't give him a chance to breathe. Since both sides were close, he would crush him with majestic momentum.
Thud!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Every punch made Huo Wushuang struggle to resist.
Every punch was mobilized swiftly and fiercely.
Even without the terrifying damage in the Great Spirit Arena before, it still suppressed Huo Wushuang.
At this moment, the spectators felt Su Wen was so relaxed and free...
It was clearly a fierce close-combat battle, so why did they have such a feeling?
It was simply because Su Wen's oppressiveness was too strong, and the eruption of every punch was too smooth and rapid.
The elite students of Blazing Academy, originally full of confidence, now felt vaguely guilty.
Huo Tianyang watched the battle intently the whole time, observing Su Wen's every move, unable to hide the admiration and shock in his eyes.
Thud!
The last punch landed, and the flames exploded, blasting Huo Wushuang away, slamming him heavily onto the ground in the distance.
"Su Wen wins." Teacher Wang took a deep look at Su Wen, announced the result, and looked at the student beside him. "Huo Xing, prepare to enter the field."
The battle presented a one-sided posture.
Su Wen completely crushed the seven members of Team Blazing, defeating them.
One versus one, Su Wen was like a great demon king, ruthlessly rubbing their pride on the ground.
And at this moment, Su Wen still looked full of energy.
Huo Tianyang's face was also solemn, signaling the competition to continue.
Thud!
Su Wen threw the last punch, eliminating the youngest member of Team Blazing, twelve-year-old Mo Yan.
At this moment, even Teacher Wang felt an indescribable pressure.
This was the oppressive feeling accumulated by Su Wen's sixteen consecutive victories in tag-team battles.
After sixteen battles, Su Wen's condition was only just beginning to decline.
"In this exchange match, Su Wen wins!" Teacher Wang announced the result.
Sixteen elite students hung their heads dejectedly, mourning for their miserable lives ahead, but none of them were unconvinced.
At this moment, they truly knew there were heavens beyond heavens and people beyond people.
"Su Wen, is it convenient to ask how you cultivate?" Huo Wu came to Su Wen, a trace of curiosity in her beautiful eyes, and asked.
Although it was very presumptuous, she was indeed curious.
"Uncle Yang should know." Su Wen didn't hide it. Huo Tianyang, who was familiar with Xiao Zhan, watched his battle today and should also know where his strength lay; he could probably guess the cultivation method.
"I'm just a tiny bit ahead of you in the development of fire."
Development of fire?
"Ahem!"
Huo Tianyang coughed twice, interrupting the students' thoughts.
"Little Wen's path is inconvenient for you to walk. Cultivating like that before reaching Spirit Saint will instead affect your spirit power cultivation," he said seriously.
Leaving the martial arts arena, Su Wen and Huo Tianyang came to the Sea of Fire.
This was the cultivation ground for Blazing Academy teachers above the Spirit King level, but Su Wen was unaffected entering it.
Huo Tianyang seemed to know this too, taking Su Wen directly to the deepest part of the Sea of Fire.
"As promised, I will guide you wholeheartedly in 'Raging Fire Heavenly Sun' for the next week. How much you can comprehend depends entirely on yourself," Huo Tianyang said.
"Thank you, Uncle Yang."
Waving his hand, Huo Tianyang showed no dissatisfaction about his unique skill being leaked; instead, he felt relieved.
Given Su Wen's performance today, his learning ability might truly allow him to learn and inherit his 'Raging Fire Heavenly Sun' out of thin air.
This was equivalent to finding an heir.
Huo Tianyang was actually looking forward to Su Wen's performance in the next seven days.
"The most basic version of my 'Raging Fire Heavenly Sun' is fused based on four of my spirit skills. After years of perfection, I have now integrated six of my seven spirit skills, excluding the Spirit Avatar, into it." When introducing his unique skill, Huo Tianyang adopted a proud and confident posture.
This was the greatest achievement of his life.
