Part 3 (TL by Bagelson)
At this very moment, Dai Mubai was suddenly astonished to discover that the icy chill in Zhu Zhuqing’s eyes had faded away, her gaze towards him somewhat dull, still with a somewhat unusual mood.
The two silhouettes finally met each other as the opponents’ attack approached, Evil Eye White Tiger and Hell Civet’s energies at this moment completely blending. The next moment, everyone present felt a fluctuating energy.
The spirit fusion ability wasn’t one plus one equals two, even if it was two perfectly identical spirits they still might not be able to use the spirit fusion ability, because this required a perfect mutual match. When the spirit fusion ability arose, that kind of formidably powerful incarnation wasn’t just two Spirit Masters’ levels, rather a surpassing existence.
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing’s bodies both vanished in that fusion, remaining on the spirit ring was only an enormous White Tiger. The White Tiger’s body was transparent, white fur with black stripes, double purple pupils, coldly watching the onrushing attacks.
Black Leopard Spirit Master Osler’s Leopard Shadow Doppelgänger was first to reach the transparent White Tiger, compared to the eight meters long and more than two meters high enormous silhouette of the white tiger, it looked insignificant.
The Hell White Tiger simply leisurely raised its right claw, and slowly swatted down. With a popping sound, that faintly purple leopard shadow already became countless specks of light and disappeared unseen, and the Hell White Tiger’s transparent body only rocked slightly once. The next moment, it suddenly transformed into a streak of light, directly rushing into that mad thunder, forging ahead bathed in lightning.
The enormous White Tiger flashed brilliantly in that moment, raising its head high. That ‘looking down on the world’ arrogance appeared, the graceful bearing of a mighty world tyrant and king among beasts.
In the air the White Dove Spirit Master Doudou already stared in awe, all the Emperor Team members were sluggish in that moment.
Hong——
Two silhouettes were sent flying simultaneously in response, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit Master Yu Tian-Heng was already wildly spouting blood in midair, the arm healed by the effect of the Nine Heart Flowering Apple once again snapping.
His team member Osler wasn’t as powerful as him, already suffering the spirit power backlash of his third spirit ability being broken, in the Hell White Tiger’s sudden explosion, vomiting out blood in midair he already lost consciousness. Fortunately his own spirit power wasn’t weak, adding to not having suffered as heavy injuries as Yu Tian-Heng previously, otherwise his current circumstances would only be even more messy.
After the Hell White Tiger unleashed this attack it disappeared in a flash, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing simultaneously appearing on the spirit fighting ring.
Because of Zhu Zhuqing’s large spirit power consumption, she directly lost consciousness in Dai Mubai’s arms, Dai Mubai himself not feeling any better, because of having unleashed the spirit fusion ability, his White Tiger Vajra Transformation supplementary energy had been completely emptied out, right now in an ability backlash condition, he had also lost the capability to fight. But they had also successfully beaten the Black Leopard Spirit Master and the opposing team’s captain Yu Tian-Heng.
Dai Mubai believed that even if the Nine Heart Flowering Apple was even more miraculous, under these kinds of conditions it would still be impossible for those two to recover their fighting strength.
With spirit power practically exhausted, the effect of Oscar’s little sausage also gradually disappeared, Dai Mubai was already on the verge of collapse within the poison mist. Right now, Oscar and Ning Rongrong were both under Ma Hongjun’s protection, basically unable to deliver any detoxifying small sausage to him.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was worthy of being called one of the most tyrannical of Beast Spirits, despite twice suffering heavy injuries Yu Tian-Heng still hadn’t lost consciousness, but right now he was only crawling on the ground without standing up.
Making his courage tremble was, in the middle of the spirit fighting ring, the battle between the Shi brothers and that control system Spirit Master Thousand Hands Asura.
Tang San gently released Xiao Wu on the arena floor, right now Xiao Wu’s face was already waxen, although with the assistance of Tang San’s Mysterious Heaven Skill orthodox school inner strength the foreign energy in her body had been expelled, she had still suffered great shock to her energy channels and internal organs, in the three places where she’d been injured even the bone could be seen. If Tang San hadn’t promptly blocked the veins at her wounds, the bleeding alone would have already taken her life.
Slowly standing up, confronting head on the two Black Tortoise Spirit Masters charging towards him, Tang San’s face under the Shrek mask was entirely expressionless, but, in the eyes his opponents could already see a faint red light.
Pu——
Tang San’s jacket under the effect of his spirit power ripped into scattered butterflies fluttering in the air. The gazes aimed at his back could all clearly see that from Tang San’s middle vertebrae eight bulges were swelling up, immediately afterwards, eight strange strands of Blue Silver Grass broke out, with lightning speed abruptly extending.
These eight “Blue Silver Grass strands” stood out from the normal ones. Completely glossy purple, glittering under the stage lighting. Precisely the external spirit bone Eight Spider Lances.
Along with the appearance of Eight Spider Lances, the spirit power fluctuations over Tang San changed peculiarly, his whole atmosphere becoming a lot darker and colder, around his arrogant body the temperature clearly dropped. On the Eight Spider Lances was a supplementary layer of faint purple.
Where Jade Phosphor Serpent Dugu Yan’s poison mist just came near Eight Spider Lances, it immediately melted away like ice and snow.
“Variant spirit? Shi Mò, Shi Mó, careful!”
Dugu Yan seeing Eight Spider Lances boring out from Tang San’s back, immediately felt discouraged. But, just like what Grandmaster said, since Eight Spider Lances was excessively similar to Blue Silver Grass, as long as he didn’t say anything, nobody would link this back to external spirit bones.
The two Shi brothers’ charging momentum immediately came to a halt, their second spirit rings simultaneously flaring, tortoiseshells once again becoming shields in their hands.
At their present level, their most powerful skill was the combination of their second and third spirit abilities, the shields could in any position burst into splinters to launch an attack.
Their tortoiseshell shields weren’t just extremely hard, their cutting power was furthermore extremely high, otherwise they wouldn’t have been able to sever Tang San’s durable Blue Silver Grass.
The Shi brothers approached cautiously, but Tang San like they were without the slightest bit of value in his eyes didn’t launch any attack at the Shi brothers, rather half turning, looking behind him towards the Wind Chime Bird Spirit Master Yu Feng in the air using his third spirit ability to pressure Ma Hongjun who was gradually becoming unable to endure.
“Come down.”
Two words like they were dripping with ice issued from Tang San’s mouth. With just a casual throwing motion of his hand, a green ball of light already cut through the air, flying towards Yu Feng.
Nobody had expected Tang San, when facing three of the Emperor Team’s great Spirit Masters, would still attend to a battlefield on another side, even if they had the words it was already too late to warn Yu Feng.
Yu Feng was right now urging his third spirit ability, gradually obtaining an overwhelming advantage, in a moment he would be able to rout Ma Hongjun’s trio. But controlling the third spirit ability put him under not inconsiderable burden. When he suddenly realized there was something approaching from behind he could only as far as possible rise in the air, hoping to avoid Tang San’s attack.
But this attack of Tang San’s had been launched with
an accurate estimate of Yu Feng’s response, the green light cut through the air in a graceful arc, in an eyeblink already catching up to Yu Feng, in just a moment the green light extended and again abruptly closed in, Yu Feng’s wings in a flash already restrained.
Tang San always restrained himself, all along without launching his third spirit ring ability, although Spider Web Restraint was good, the spirit power consumption was too high. Once he used it, his own strength would immediately suffer. Even with the assistance of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda his fighting strength would drop somewhat.
But right now was exactly the opportunity Tang San waited for, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing had defeated the other side’s most threatening members. Right now the Emperor Team’s remaining fighting strength was only the Wind Chime Bird Spirit Master, Jade Phosphor Serpent Spirit Master and the two Black Tortoise Spirit Masters.
First settling the Wind Chime Bird Spirit Master was naturally because of the opponent’s speed and air superiority, as well as the threat to Ma Hongjun and their side’s two auxiliary system Spirit Masters.
First settling the enemy in the air behind him, next Tang San only had to confront the three remaining people in front.
The certainty in their strength the Black Tortoise Spirit Masters had absolutely wasn’t weak, at the same time as Tang San threw out Spider Web Restraint, they already threw the four tortoiseshell shields in their hands.
The four enormous shields once again made ear-piercing sharp whistles, they firmly believed that even if Tang San possessed a variant spirit, he still couldn’t block their combined effort. Let alone if they like just now used their third spirit ability, especially right now when his spirit power had dropped.
Chapter 052: Eight Spider Lances, Decisive Outcome
Part 1 (TL by Bagelson)
But, a scene nobody could have imagine occurred. What Tang San did proved that to Spirit Masters on the battlefield, victory didn’t necessarily require relying on strength, but could be accomplished with wisdom and planning.
In an instant a figure appeared before Tang San like a moth drawn to a flame, directly hiding Tang San’s shape, practically protecting all of Tang San behind him, if the tortoiseshell shields were to hit Tang San, then they first had to pass through this person.
The one suddenly appearing in front of Tang San wasn’t a stranger, but Emperor Team’s captain, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit Master Yu Tian-Heng.
How was it possible? This was the first thought that appeared in the minds of all members of the Emperor Team, immediately afterward, they clearly saw Yu Tian-Heng’s current circumstances.
Yu Tian-Heng naturally wouldn’t help Tang San block his teammates’ attack, and even if he would, with his current condition, it wouldn’t be possible for him to reach Tang San’s side. But all this had already been planned in advance by Tang San, the foreshadowing was buried in the first opening moments of the spirit fight.
Yu Tian-Heng was completely entangled in Blue Silver Grass, forcefully pulled in front of Tang San to act as his meat shield.
Earlier when the two sides first clashed, Yu Tian-Heng had fallen into Tang San’s schemes, when he suffered injuries under the Shrek Seven Devils’ siege, at the start of that siege, when Tang San used Blue Silver Grass to bind him. Blue Silver Grass currently had three spirit rings, it also had three spirit abilities. Binding was no doubt the most practical, Spider Web Restraint naturally was the most potent. But, that unassuming second spirit ring ability shouldn’t be neglected. The current scene was a direct result of Tang San’s second spirit ring ability: Parasite.
Although Yu Tian-Heng had recovered his fighting strength under the assistance of Nine Heart Flowering Apple Xie Lingling’s assistance, Blue Silver Grass’ seeds had quietly been lodged on his body under the use of Binding, when the second spirit ability was launched, the parasitic seeds would follow Tang San’s control.
When Tang San turned to launch his Spider Web Restraint at the Wind Chime Bird Spirit Master, he simultaneously secretly activated the Parasites on Yu Tian-Heng’s body, using his Blue Silver Grass to forcefully pull him over in front of him.
Currently Yu Tian-Heng was really too weak, if he was in peak condition, he could struggle free of the Blue Silver Grass restraints without the need for Thunder Fury, but right now it was basically impossible for him to accomplish this.
Tang San grasped not only the situation on the battlefield, but at the same time the hearts of the opponents. With two lifetimes, he possessed not just the wisdom of thirteen years, rather the experience of almost forty. Even though Xiao Wu’s injuries made him furious, with the disaster he encountered in Star Dou Great Forest he understood that anger basically couldn’t settle the issue, only by maintaining a cool head for the moment would he be able to clearly see every change the narrow target of the battle.
If the two Black Tortoise Spirit Masters’ tortoiseshell shields could only be thrown and not withdrawn, Tang San wouldn’t have done something like this, when weakened Yu Tian-Heng only had the body of a normal person, basically insufficient to stop the Black Tortoise Spirit Masters’ tortoiseshell shield attack, it would only be adding a life. But in the previous fight Tang San already clearly saw that their tortoiseshell shields could be withdrawn, and thus this scene appeared.
When the two brothers Shi Mò and Shi Mó were about to defeat Tang San, Yu Tian-Heng suddenly appeared, immediately turning the two pale with fright. Confronted by the body of their captain, they didn’t even think about it. Exerting all their spirit power the forcefully pull the tortoiseshell shields to change direction.
But, in order to defeat Tang San they had attacked with full strength, the tortoiseshell shields were not only extremely heavy but even more infused with their enormous spirit power, how could they be withdrawn? The Black Tortoise Spirit Masters were admittedly powerful, but this pair of brothers were still far from the level where they could easily withdraw.
In the end the pair succeeded in breaking off the tortoiseshell shield attack, the four tortoiseshell shields brushing by a hair’s breadth from Yu Tian-Heng, flying to either side. But using such strength made these two brothers’ stomachs cramp, simultaneously spitting blood. And at this moment, a silhouette shot out from behind Yu Tian-Heng like a shooting star, in practically only a moment it was already in front of them. That was precisely the bloody-eyed Tang San.
Tang San’s movements were extremely fluent, throwing Spider Web Restraint, dragging Yu Tian-Heng, immediately afterward, the Eight Spider Lances on his back simultaneously pierced the ground, supporting his body, the middle joints of the Eight Spider Lances bending simultaneously, again stretching out with full strength, their formidable flexibility sending out Tang San like a bolt of lightning.
Standing on the Shrek Seven Devils’ side a satisfied expression flashed through Grandmaster’s eyes, muttering to himself:
“Control the battlefield, control the team, control the enemy, control the heart. Little San, you have finally grasped the full meaning of the control system Spirit Master.”
The instant Tang San used Eight Spider Lances to leap, he knew that this spirit battle was already finished. Losing the crucial protection of the tortoiseshells, even though the Black Tortoise Spirit Masters were two, how could they block Tang San’s Eight Spider Lances?
The lustrous purple Eight Spider Lances extended in midair, sharp points like eight cold stars simultaneously thrusting at the Black Tortoise Spirit Masters.
Out of the tortoiseshells, their own spirit power lashing back, speed not being their expertise. The Black Tortoise Spirit Masters only had one method left to them, blocking.
The two roared loudly, fists swinging at Tang San in the air, spirit power bursting out, earthen yellow light soaring up.
The Black Tortoise Spirit Masters’ spirit power was as heavy as their tortoiseshells, unfortunately, they didn’t have the strength to truly concentrate their spirit power. Using spirit abilities, how could they still be in peak
condition after consuming their spirit power.
Eight Spider Lances as an external spirit bone, once used, in itself had a fifty percent amplification effect on Tang San’s attack power, it was also sharp like a spear. If they still had the tortoiseshells the two Black Tortoise Spirit Masters might still have been able to block it, but right now there basically wasn’t enough time to recover their tortoiseshells.
Bright purple light pierced into the yellow concentrated spirit power and erupting in a chain of explosive sounds, the lustrous purple spider lance points basically didn’t give the opponents a chance. Eight Spider Lances under Tang San’s control, separately passed through the opponents’ spirit power, piercing the Two Black Tortoise Spirit Masters’ shoulders and arms. In the flickering purple light, Tang San didn’t pause, his body flipping in the air, once again using Eight Spider Lances to shoot up, directly pouncing at the Jade phosphor Serpent Spirit Master Dugu Yan.
With a humming sound, the tortoiseshells each returned to the Black Tortoise Spirit Masters, in a flash becoming yellow light and merging into their bodies, but the two Black Tortoise Spirit Masters were no longer able to stand, purple qi welling out of their arms, the two simultaneously toppled, bodies spasming violently.
Eight Spider Lances possessed the extreme toxicity of the Man Faced Demon Spider that couldn’t be compared to the supplemental poison on the Blue Silver Grass. Under the toxin of the Eight Spider Lances, even if the two Black Tortoise Spirit Masters’ had even more powerful spirit power it would still be impossible for them to resist it.
Although they weren’t stabbed in the vitals, right now their injuries were the most critical of the Emperor Team.
Watching the lustrous purple Eight Spider Lances descend from the air, Dugu Yan’s eyes were filled with a fearful light, before the start of this spirit fight she had never thought her side could lose, but at this moment, facing Tang San, she already didn’t have any desire for fighting.
Her most powerful third spirit ability had easily been broken by this man before her, she with poison for fighting strength, still had what qualifications to go on fighting Tang San? What she was capable of right now was only spitting out another cloud of poison mist, that’s all.
