Chapter 51: Overwhelming the Opponents
🕑 Added 2024-02-26 16:01:09 +0000 UTCThe two cat sisters charged in from the left and right respectively. Su Wen, seeing this, leaped into the air midway, spinning while unleashing two punches. Two Flame Tornadoes surged towards both sides.
Boom!
The second Spirit Rings of the two cat Spirit Masters simultaneously shimmered.
"Second Spirit Skill, White Cat Guardian!"
"Second Spirit Skill, Rapid Speed!"
A white light barrier condensed in front of the White Cat Spirit Master, while the Black Cat Spirit Master accelerated to dodge Su Wen's Flame Tornado.
Under Su Wen's feet, Soul Power erupted. He changed direction and headed towards the White Cat Spirit Master. He was well aware of the power of the Flame Tornado he unleashed. If the White Cat Spirit Master resisted it, he could follow up with another attack to eliminate them directly.
As for the Black Cat Spirit Master who had successfully dodged Su Wen's Flame Tornado, she's now heading towards Ning Rongrong, seemingly unaffected by Su Wen's actions.
Boom!
Su Wen's speed was extremely fast. Flames erupted under his feet, coupled with the manipulation of wind, creating a powerful thrust that made Su Wen's speed comparable to an agility-focused Spirit Elder.
He swiftly closed in on the White Cat Spirit Master and immediately followed up with a finishing move.
Flame Fist.
A simple and unadorned punch landed, and after the explosion, the White Cat Spirit Master was blasted away, directly leaving the arena.
On the other side.
The Black Cat Spirit Master felt a heaviness in her heart, but nevertheless, she had already arrived in front of Ning Rongrong.
Being able to defeat her sister in an instant, she could sense Su Wen's terror.
Although aware of the horror of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, deep down, she understood that a significant factor in Su Wen's strength lay in Su Wen himself. The strengthening of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda only made him more powerful. But she still hoped that perhaps, without Ning Rongrong, Su Wen wouldn't have such abnormal combat power.
The auxiliary abilities of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda were formidable, but ultimately, it can only support.
The first white Spirit Ring of the Black Cat Spirit Master shimmered.
Nails popped out on her hands, extremely sharp.
In the VIP room on the stands, Ning Fengzhi watched this scene with a slightly furrowed brow.
Su Wen's strength exceeded his expectations, displaying remarkable bravery within the same level. As a mere 23rd-level Spirit Grand Master, he was able to instantly defeat a 29th-level agility-focused Spirit Grand Master. Despite Rongrong's assistance, Ning Fengzhi was confident that this factor played a relatively small role. Another reason for his furrowed brow was Ning Rongrong being incapacitated.
Ning Fengzhi instinctively disliked Su Wen's chosen fighting style. The safety of an Auxiliary Spirit Master should always be the top priority, and leaving Rongrong behind and allowing the Black Cat Spirit Master to attack her was a grave mistake.
However, Su Wen remained calm and composed, which was why Ning Fengzhi did not express immediate anger. On the arena, the Black Cat Spirit Master's claws descended. Although she didn't know the specific identity of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit Master, she understood that the Martial Spirit itself was not someone she could provoke. Therefore, she executed her attack with a certain degree of restraint. Unfortunately, her less-than-full-powered strike was blocked by one of Su Wen's pages.
Among the pages scattered by Su Wen and floating around Ning Rongrong, three pages fused together. Not just grouped together, but truly merged. Su Wen used Soul Power to manifest and then merge the pages, which were further empowered by Su Wen's First Spirit Skill.
Enhancement!
Surprisingly, the claws couldn't tear through the merged pages with a single strike. The Black Cat Spirit Master was astonished.
"Are these pages? What kind of book has such quality?" she wondered.
Ning Fengzhi was amazed. Gu Rong, who had been following him, also looked at the scene with slight astonishment.
"This kid, his Martial Spirit mutation might be more than a little unusual," remarked Gu Rong.
Ning Fengzhi nodded, agreeing with Gu Rong's speculation. On the Douluo Continent, only Martial Spirit mutations could explain such inexplicable phenomena.
After the Black Cat Spirit Master's shock, she swiftly launched a second attack. She knew she only had one chance. Su Wen's speed was too fast.
Waving her claws, she lunged towards Ning Rongrong.
Ning Rongrong wasn't just standing still; she had already retreated quite a distance. Some of the pages floating around her transformed into clusters of Fireballs, while the remaining ones turned into clusters of wind. Three Fireballs and three streams of wind combined in a unique way, swiftly forming three continuously rotating Fireballs that rapidly approached each other until they collided.
Boom!
"Good!" Witnessing this, Ning Fengzhi praised Su Wen's skill. The control over these Fireballs and wind was truly exquisite. In a short period, Su Wen's ability to compress the flame intensity was limited, so he used this unique combination to collide the three Fireballs, unleashing a more powerful force.
This was much more impactful than using all the Soul Power to release a single Fireball. The key was speed. There was no need to exert effort in compressing the flames. Utilizing wind and the collision between Fireballs achieved a higher level of eruption.
The terrifying explosion forced the Black Cat Spirit Master to retreat. In front of Ning Rongrong, three streams of wind remained, separating her from the exploding Fireballs and pushing her away from the center of the explosion.
At this moment, Su Wen surged forward with explosive speed, using swift steps combined with Flame Fist to deal with the Black Cat Spirit Master.
Overwhelming!
This was a scene of overwhelming dominance.
In the VIP room, Ning Fengzhi watched this spectacle, his eyes shining with inceasing brilliance. Of course, Su Wen's plan of using Ning Rongrong as bait did deduct some points from his evaluation in Ning Fengzhi's mind. Nevertheless, Su Wen's overall score remained extremely high.
Su Wen was formidable, an expert in assault-type abilities. He possessed a variety of techniques, demonstrating his ability to protect Ning Rongrong while launching attacks. Although the plan had flaws, Su Wen's performance within the plan earned him additional points.
"I have to admit, the talent of a Book Martial Spirit's Spirit Master in Martial Spirit development is generally high, but Su Wen's talent among Book Martial Spirit Spirit Masters is exceptional!" Gu Rong commented, though his expression seemed somewhat hesitant. "But, it seems like his development direction is a bit skewed."
"Hmm?" prompted by Gu Rong's reminder, Ning Fengzhi also became aware of the issue. "The development of a Martial Spirit often indicates the anticipated direction for the next Spirit Ring's Spirit Skill."
So, Su Wen's development of the Book Martial Spirit was actually oriented towards a combination?
If Su Wen knew what Ning Fengzhi was thinking, he would probably scoff at the notion of calling it a combination. That was called a formation. If one truly mastered the capabilities of a formation, their combat strength could increase significantly! Of course, Doulou Land might not have such Spirit Skills, but Su Wen only needed the Spirit Skill to provide a foundation; he could develop the rest on his own.
Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment and then ceased worrying about it. "Spirit Masters with Book Martial Spirits all have their own ideas; we can only judge by the results."
"Wow, Brother Xiaowen, you're amazing!" praised Ning Rongrong. "Brother Xiaowen, your Martial Spirit is just a book, but how can it be so powerful?"
Su Wen smiled and said, "As long as you're willing to put in the effort, even an Auxiliary Spirit Master can have formidable combat strength."
"What?" Ning Rongrong was skeptical, shaking her head. "I'm sure that's not possible."
The Spirit Skills of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda are fixed, with the same amplification ratio. She couldn't imagine how she could possess strength.
"Why, do you want to have combat abilities?"
Facing Su Wen's question, Ning Rongrong thought seriously and said, "Dad mentioned that although the auxiliary system has a powerful role, it's also because it's too fragile. It's most susceptible to enemy ambushes in battle."
"If I had some strength, I could not only assist my teammates in battle but also deal with enemy ambushes. That would be perfect."
It's unclear whether it was Su Wen's choice of team name that gave Ning Rongrong a special inspiration, but she unexpectedly spoke such words.
"It's actually not that difficult," Su Wen said in a relaxed manner, as if he had a solution.
Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up, and she looked at Su Wen. "Brother Xiaowen, what's the method? Quickly tell me!"
