Chapter 94: "Humble" Duo
🕑 Added 2024-03-09 16:00:08 +0000 UTCNing Rongrong goes by the alias 'Little Assistant,' while Su Wen's new account is named 'Ignorant Scholar.'
It seems quite modest.
However, the staff at this moment are rather speechless.
Because the team formed by these two individuals is called 'Seeking Defeat.'
Although it only takes ten gold spirit coins to re-establish a team, the chosen name is truly anything but modest.
Qin Ming always feels that something is off about Su Wen and Ning Rongrong. Following them outside, he sees the two heading towards the registration area, frowning in silence.
"Do they want to re-register as a team?"
Is it really necessary?
Soon, Qin Ming realizes that it is indeed necessary.
Because what they registered is a team, not a duo.
On the big screen, the information of Su Wen and Ning Rongrong's team quickly appears, and the match is successful.
'Seeking Defeat' Team vs. 'Inferno' Team.
The member lists of both prominent teams are also displayed on the big screen.
Notably, the 'Seeking Defeat' Team consists of only two members, quickly catching people's attention and drawing a multitude of gazes, including Qin Ming's.
Looking at the IDs of 'Little Assistant' and 'Ignorant Scholar,' he revealed a helpless expression.
"This is a full-member Spirit Elder's Silver Spirit Fighter Team. Xiaowen, you two are really pushing the boundaries this time."
However, with the iconic Martial Spirit, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, at their disposal, at least the two won't be in danger.
Consider it a valuable lesson.
Two against seven, with one being a support class, essentially making it one against seven.
Even as Spirit Ancestors, facing the siege of seven Spirit Elders offers no guarantee of victory, and there's a significant risk of defeat, especially when there's a weak point that needs protection.
"However, this 'Inferno' Team is a Silver Spirit Fighter Team, and they should possess a strength beyond the ordinary. Who knows, maybe tomorrow or the day after, the Emperor's Battle Team might encounter them," Qin Ming thought.
"Now, let's welcome the two teams for the next battle! They are the 'Seeking Defeat' Team and the 'Inferno' Team!" The host's voice was spirited and impassioned, as if it could instantly ignite people's emotions.
However, when it came time to introduce the team members, he hesitated upon seeing the list with only two names, falling into contemplation. Opting to seize the audience's excitement for the 'Inferno' Team, they collectively chanted the team's slogan, making the host's mistake less conspicuous.
"Let the players from both sides take the stage!" The host skipped introductions and went straight to having the players enter.
As Su Wen and Ning Rongrong ascended the stage, the already noisy atmosphere became even more chaotic, with laughter and various speculations filling the air.
Su Wen and Ning Rongrong maintained their composure.
The host, who had not introduced them earlier, now rearranged the sequence. After creating chaos in the atmosphere, he increased the volume and began introducing Su Wen and Ning Rongrong.
"Members of the 'Seeking Defeat' Team, 'Little Assistant,' owner of the Amethyst Spirit Fighter Badge, and 'Ignorant Scholar,' also an Amethyst Spirit Fighter Badge owner!"
"???"
The audience took a moment to grasp the host's words, and then erupted into even more fervent discussion.
"Unprecedented!"
"Earth-shattering news! Two Amethyst Spirit Fighter Badge Spirit Masters challenging a Silver Spirit Fighter seven-person Team!"
"These two are clearly outsiders."
Because Blazing City had no Spirit Elders with Amethyst Spirit Fighter Badges, and even the Gold Spirit Fighter Badge holders were few, having spent over a decade in the Great Spirit Arena before obtaining their badges.
Amethyst Spirit Fighter Badge?
Certainly outsiders.
"Inferno Team, let's show these outsiders what we're made of!"
"Yeah, exactly, let's give them a taste!"
The on-site cheers were unanimous because they had all bet on the Inferno Team. If the Inferno Team were to lose, their gold spirit coins would go down the drain.
As for Su Wen and Ning Rongrong, they had invested three thousand gold spirit coins of their own.
A three-to-one payout.
It was mainly Su Wen's investment; Ning Rongrong wasn't short on money.
Upon hearing the identity of the Amethyst Spirit Fighter Badge from the opposing side, the seven members of the Inferno Team all showed serious expressions.
They had all undergone professional training.
They wouldn't underestimate any opponent.
Especially when the other side possessed an Amethyst Spirit Fighter Badge.
Anyone participating in Spirit Fighter knew how challenging it was to upgrade this badge.
Being able to upgrade to an Amethyst Spirit Fighter Badge generally implies invincibility within the same level. However, what they didn't know was that when Su Wen upgraded this badge initially, he was a Spirit Grand Master, challenging Spirit Elders beyond his level and gradually elevating to the Amethyst Spirit Fighter Badge.
"The match begins!"
At the host's command, both sides, totaling nine individuals, unleashed their Martial Spirits.
Wait, Su Wen didn't release his Martial Spirit; he simply stood at a distance.
Behind him, Ning Rongrong had already summoned the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Spirit, radiating a dazzling brilliance.
"The Seven Treasures emerge with luster; each treasure possesses a name. First, Strength; second, Speed!"
She immediately provided Su Wen with the enhancement of two Spirit Skills.
With reinforced strength and speed, Su Wen confidently smiled. With a wave of his hand, he summoned dozens of Fireballs, hurling them towards the Inferno Team across from him.
"Fire Element Control?"
The Inferno Team, upon seeing this, gained confidence.
'Little Assistant' was indeed a support, boasting the title of the top support in the continent with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
As for the mainstay, 'Ignorant Scholar,' he possessed a Fire Element Control-like ability.
Although Martial Spirit and Spirit Rings were not visible, how much difference could there be from what they anticipated?
The Martial Spirit might well be flames.
And as for Spirit Rings, to reach the Amethyst Spirit Fighter Badge, it must be the optimal combination of two yellow and one purple Spirit Ring.
Facing the onslaught of numerous Fireballs, among the members of the Inferno Team, a tall and burly man emerged, wielding a shield ablaze with flames.
The third yellow Spirit Ring on the burly man's body shimmered.
The shield split into three, aligning in the sky in front of their seven-person formation, enveloping them.
Boom, boom, boom!
The Fireballs landed on the flame shield, erupting with a thunderous roar. The burly man's expression changed drastically. Those Fireballs were terrifying. With a casual move, coupled with dozens of Fireballs falling simultaneously, everyone thought these were just ordinary Fireballs. However, at the moment of the actual explosion, it surpassed everyone's expectations.
The three shields were instantly blown apart. Five Fireballs broke through, descending upon the members of the Inferno Team. Huo Xin's expression changed slightly, and his third Spirit Ring emitted a purple light.
"Deadly Fire Thread!"
A surge of fiery currents collided with the five Fireballs, creating a resounding explosion, and flames scattered.
"So powerful!"
In the first clash, the members of the Inferno Team felt a heavy weight on their hearts. After Su Wen changed his ID, his fighting style also underwent a transformation. Without showcasing his Martial Spirit or Spirit Ring, even his combat mode shifted from the close-range Fire Demon Style to a long-range mage assault.
It was precisely because of this that during the half-year period in Heaven Dou City, he successfully changed his appearance and, at least, faded from the public eye. Only a few people who were familiar with Fire Demon Xiao Zhan still considered him the previous 'Scholar Warrior.'
The general public, under the influence of the narrative, couldn't help but marvel at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, finding two powerful partners in succession. Above Su Wen's head, a sea of fire emerged, and a massive wind swept through, igniting the flames in the Fire Sea, forming a Flame Tornado.
The Flame Tornado once again surged towards the Inferno Team.
The seven members of the Inferno Team dispersed.
"Stay close to him!"
The long-range attack was too formidable.
In general, Spirit Masters of this kind were vulnerable in close combat.
