82: Chapter 82 Battle against Blazing Fire Academy, Shrek Academy's Top Five Advance

In the preparation area of Shrek Academy, Flender had placed the gathered information on Blazing Academy on the table.

"Su Ling, you all need to be careful in this battle. This Blazing Academy is not comparable to other ordinary academies," Flender warned cautiously.

"Understood, Dean," Su Ling said.

Among the information, at the top were the level 47 Huo Wu, the level 42 Huo Wushuang, and two level 39 teammates.

"Brother Su, isn't that Huo Wu the one who greeted you on the first day?" Ning Rongrong looked at the information and said.

"Yes, but you cannot underestimate Huo Wu. With her abilities, none of our Spirit Ancestors here are likely her match," Su Ling said.

"And Blazing Academy might be one of the teams you cannot defeat."

"That's only because you, Sister Zhu Xin, and Zhuqing aren't playing, Brother Su. If any one of you went up, we wouldn't fear any team," Ning Rongrong said.

"Brother Su, why don't I go up for this match?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at Su Ling and said.

Su Ling shook his head and said, "No. The true strength of the three of us should not be revealed at this stage."

The more powerful the display, the more dangerous it becomes. There is no need for it in the preliminaries.

"Then what should we do? Surely we aren't going to just surrender?" Ning Rongrong said helplessly.

Su Ling said, "Surrendering isn't necessary. Rongrong, you go up for this match, along with Ma Hongjun, Tai Long, Jing Ling, Huang Yuan, Oscar, and Xu Yanyan. The seven of you together."

Su Ling thought for a moment and decided not to let Jiang Zhu and Luo Sha play.

Her Spirit, Green Vine, even though her control ability is decent, is too heavily countered by the fire attribute. If she cannot achieve fire immunity, the control effect would be negligible.

Xu Yanyan is a fire-attribute Spirit Master, so there is no problem with her going up.

After the seven were decided, everyone earnestly analyzed the opponent's data and discussed tactics. After all, there were fourteen matches every day, and they were in the ninth match today, so there was plenty of time to analyze.

Meanwhile, in the Blazing Academy's lounge, Huo Wu and the others were also analyzing the information on Shrek Academy.

"Sister, do you think this Su Ling will appear? It seems he hasn't fought a single match before," Huo Wushuang said.

Huo Wu shook her head and said, "I'm not sure either. If he makes a move, our chance of winning is less than 10%. If he doesn't, our chance of winning is about 50%."

"A fifty-fifty chance?" Huo Wushuang said.

"Don't forget, their Support Spirit Master, a Spirit Ancestor from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, her Support can raise a team by a whole level, and the key to our victory is to deal with her first," Huo Wu analyzed calmly.

"Sister, you are right. This Spirit Ancestor from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is indeed the most troublesome one," Huo Wushuang said.

As the two teams analyzed, match after match ended quickly.

Soon, it was the turn of the ninth match.

"Round 11, Match 9, Blazing Academy versus Shrek Academy. Both sides, enter the arena."

Following the referee's call, both teams entered the arena simultaneously.

Looking at the people on the opposite side, Huo Wu was somewhat disappointed and whispered, "Brother Su really didn't come out. Is the current me not even worth him making a move?"

"Activate Spirits!"

"The match begins!"

The battle started. Shrek's side had already set up a defensive barrier in the front, led by Tai Long, with Jing Ling and Huang Yuan as the second line.

The others were in their positions, while Oscar was in the back, ready to make Sausage at any time.

"Go!"

As soon as Huo Wu spoke, she led all her teammates, and the seven of them charged directly, clashing with Tai Long in the front.

They intended to use full strength right from the start?

Ning Rongrong immediately released her Spirit to activate Support on everyone, and then Oscar began to make Flying Mushroom Sausage.

Five against seven, Shrek was at a disadvantage at first, but after Ning Rongrong's Support, they successfully blocked the seven of them all at once.

But Huo Wu had a goal, because Ning Rongrong and Oscar's positions were in the back, not far from the edge of the arena.

As long as she got close, a Repulsive Fire Ring could knock both Support Spirit Masters off the arena.

Everyone on the Blazing Academy team seemed to be covering for Huo Wu. Following the direction of the battle, Huo Wu saw that the time was right.

She immediately released her third Spirit Ability, Repulsive Fire Ring.

The tactic seemed very good, but just as she used her third Spirit Ability, Oscar and Ning Rongrong both consumed the Flying Mushroom Sausage, and the two flew directly into the air.

Supporting from the air, they were already out of the effective range of Huo Wu's Repulsive Fire Ring.

The goal of Blazing Academy was also very obvious: to get rid of Shrek's Support Spirit Master at all costs in this soul battle.

But it was very difficult to deal with them once they flew into the air.

"We'll handle it!"

As they spoke, two Spirit Masters from the Blazing Academy team unfolded a pair of fiery red wings.

Huo Yun and Huo Yu, whose Spirits were also Fire Cranes, possessed the ability to fly.

As they took off towards Ning Rongrong and Oscar, Ma Hongjun also took off, utilizing his third Spirit Ability, Phoenix Winged Heaven Soar, to confront Huo Yun and Huo Yu head-on.

At this point in the battle, Blazing Academy's plan to first repel Shrek's Support had fallen through; they had no choice but to engage in a direct confrontation.

Huo Wu's Soul Power was very strong, but Shrek had dual Support from Ning Rongrong and Oscar, so even at five against seven, they did not fall into a disadvantage.

For a while, both sides were locked in a bitter battle, and it was difficult to defeat the opponent.

But as time went on, the advantage of having Support became apparent.

Oscar's Recovery Sausage allowed everyone to fight more persistently.

Seeing her teammates injured one by one and their Soul Power and stamina exhausted, Huo Wu could only say helplessly, "We admit defeat."

"Shrek Academy versus Blazing Academy, Shrek wins!" The referee immediately announced.

Actually, Huo Wu still had energy left, but her teammates were already done for. Even if she used a skill like spirit ring fusion, she would at most injure two or three of the opponents.

And once she used it, her Soul Power would be exhausted, and it would still be a failure.

If she couldn't win even after injuring Brother Su's teammates, then she might as well just concede.

In fact, the entire Blazing Academy was quite surprised that Huo Wu voluntarily conceded, after all, Huo Wu was such a strong-willed person, to actually choose to surrender.

After Huo Wu announced her surrender, Ning Rongrong took the initiative to step forward and said, "You must be Huo Wu. I'm Ning Rongrong. I've heard Brother Su mention you. You're really beautiful."

"Thank you! I underestimated you before," Huo Wu said.

Ning Rongrong's social skills were still quite impressive. In fact, she had guessed the approximate relationship between Huo Wu and Su Ling. Although Su Ling hadn't said it, she could feel it sometimes when she heard Su Ling mention Huo Wu.

"It's just a pity, Sister Huo Wu, you haven't been by Brother Su's side all the time. If you had always been by Brother Su's side, you would definitely be stronger than you are now," Ning Rongrong said.

"Uh... by Brother Su's side?" Huo Wu looked confused. Actually, she wanted to, but hadn't she never had the chance?

And just at this moment, Su Ling's voice reached Huo Wu's mind.

"Wu'er, let's meet in a while!"

Hearing it was Su Ling's voice, Huo Wu looked excited, nodded towards Su Ling's direction, and then went back to take the team away from the battle field.

In a corner outside the Great Spirit Arena in Heaven Dou City.

"Brother Su!" Huo Wu saw Su Ling alone and finally couldn't hold back; she came over and hugged Su Ling.

In fact, she had been regretting all this time, regretting why she didn't give herself to Su Ling that day.

"Wu'er, congratulations, your Soul Power is already at level 47. You are much stronger than the last time we met," Su Ling said.

"But I still couldn't beat your team, and you didn't even play. Brother Su, can you tell me what level your Soul Power is now?" Huo Wu asked again.

Su Ling whispered in Huo Wu's ear, "Level 62. Do you believe it?"

"What? How is that possible? Brother Su, you're joking with me again. You were only level 43 last time, level 52 would be about right, let alone level 62. No one on the continent improves their Soul Power that fast," Huo Wu said.

Su Ling said, "Wu'er, just like what Rongrong said, if you had always been by my side, your Soul Power would definitely be much higher."

"This is a bottle of Medicinal Pill that can increase Soul Power. Take one every seven days. Both you and your brother Huo Wushuang can use it. It can help you improve by one or two levels in these two months," Su Ling said.

"Brother Su, can this Medicinal Pill really help us improve our Soul Power?" Huo Wu looked at the medicine bottle in Su Ling's hand and looked at Su Ling in confusion.

"Huo Wu, do I look like I'm joking? Your team's strength can rank in the top five within the Heaven Dou Empire, but on the entire continent, you probably can't make it into the top ten."

"You should take this to increase your Soul Power first. If you really want to win the championship of this Advanced Spirit Master Tournament, you can come to my team, but there are only two spots."

"Don't rush to answer. It won't be too late to answer me after the preliminaries or the promotion tournament are over," Su Ling said.

"Alright!" Huo Wu pouted, but just as she made a move, she was blocked by Su Ling.

Already at 90 favorability, what are you being polite for?

After a long time, the two separated, and Huo Wu took the Medicinal Pill Su Ling gave her back to her team.

That night, she and Huo Wushuang used one of the high-level Soul Power Medicinal Pills given by Su Ling.

[Ding... Huo Wu favorability +2, obtained Black Treasure Chest * 2]

Huo Wu's favorability increased?

Su Ling, who was cultivating, was interrupted by the System's sound.

At this time in a hotel in Heaven Dou City.

"My Soul Power actually increased directly to level 48, with no side effects." Huo Wu felt her Soul Power; Su Ling had given her a surprise once again.

One Medicinal Pill increased her Soul Power by one level, and Su Ling gave her nine at once.

"I wonder if my brother has improved." Huo Wu thought to herself.

And just at this moment, Huo Wu's door was knocked, and who else could it be but Huo Wushuang?

"Sister, has your Soul Power improved?"

One could feel from Huo Wushuang's voice that he was very excited.

Huo Wu opened the door and waited for Huo Wushuang to come in. After the door was completely closed, Huo Wushuang continued, "Sister, what kind of Medicinal Pill is that? My Soul Power actually increased directly to level 43."

Huo Wu smiled and said, "I improved too. My Soul Power has now reached level 48."

"Really?"

"That's great, but sister, why didn't you take out such good stuff earlier? If we had taken it last night and we each improved by one level, we wouldn't have lost to Shrek today."

Huo Wu said, "Actually, this was given to me by Brother Su. There are nine in total, allowing us both to improve by one or two levels in these two months."

"In addition, Brother Su also invited us to join Shrek together, and then go together to win the championship of the Advanced Spirit Master Tournament."

"What?"

"Join Shrek?"

"I admit, Su Ling is very powerful, but wanting us to join is absolutely impossible," Huo Wushuang said.

Huo Wu said, "Let's wait and see. If we really don't have the strength to win the championship, joining might not be a bad thing."

"Sister, you..." Huo Wushuang couldn't understand why Huo Wu would think like this. Was this Su Ling's Charm really that great?

But the things he gave were indeed very good.

"Sister, give me another one of those Medicinal Pills," Huo Wushuang said.

Huo Wu said, "No, according to what Brother Su said, take one every seven days, and the effect will gradually decrease. You can't take too many at once."

"What a pity. Then I'll go back to consolidate my Soul Power first. Sister, you should rest early too," Huo Wushuang said.

Sending Huo Wushuang away, Huo Wu again held the medicine bottle Su Ling gave her, her heart filled with complex feelings, still thinking about what Ning Rongrong said.

If she had always stayed by Su Ling's side, she would be much stronger than she is now.

"If I had always stayed by Brother Su's side, wouldn't I already be a Spirit King now?"

The next day, Shrek's opponent was Canghui Academy.

Due to Su Ling's appearance, the two teams did not form a feud. Because Canghui Academy might have felt that they couldn't beat Shrek, they actually chose to surrender voluntarily, which caught Su Ling by surprise.

The following match days went on routinely. Shrek Academy's team met Thunder, Shenfeng, and Tianshui, and these three academies all chose to surrender.

Because Shrek didn't need to worry about qualifying, Su Ling did not choose to let everyone fight hard against these three major academies for now.

This made Feng Xiaotian, who had been wanting to deal with Shrek Academy, very annoyed.

But rules were rules, and he was helpless; he could only look forward to meeting Shrek Academy again later.

In the one-month preliminaries, Shrek ranked in the top five of these preliminaries with a record of 24 wins and 3 losses.

The records of the other academies were as follows:

Shenfeng Academy and Thunder Academy both had 26 wins and 1 loss, and these two major academies ranked in the top two.

Blazing Academy, Shrek Academy, and Tianshui Academy all had 24 wins and 3 losses, ranking from third to fifth place.

The highest record of the remaining academies, like Elephant Armor Academy, was only 22 wins and 5 losses. Having lost to all the top five academies, they were destined to miss the finals of this Advanced Spirit Master Tournament.

Entering the top five, the team also received the reward from the Heaven Dou Empire, 10,000 gold coins.

Emperor Xue Ye even directly bestowed the title of Viscount to the captains and vice-captains of the five teams, and the others were granted the title of Baron.

However, this title seemed like a reward, yet it also seemed like no reward at all.

Because you only get it if you voluntarily join the Heaven Dou Empire after graduating from the Advanced Spirit Master Tournament; otherwise, this title is useless.

Leaving the Great Spirit Arena, the Shrek group returned to Shrek Academy to celebrate the good results achieved this time.

The 10,000 gold coins were also distributed equally as a reward.

After they were wined and dined, Su Ling finally spoke, "Everyone, there is one month left after the Advanced Spirit Master Tournament ends before the promotion tournament is held. Everyone, continue to work hard."

"In this one month, I hope everyone will make progress. Each person must improve by one level. Rongrong, I hope you can improve to level 50, so that you can play a greater role," Su Ling said.

"Okay, I will definitely work hard," Ning Rongrong said with a smile.

Over the next month, Su Ling decided to help everyone a little.

Improving too much was unrealistic, but helping everyone improve by one level of Soul Power was still not a problem.
