Chapter 36: The Man Who Won't Retreat
🕑 Added 2024-02-11 05:39:27 +0000 UTCdNo matter what, forcibly colliding with a Second Ring Spirit Skill against a Third Ring Spirit Skill in a team battle is not wise.
Especially when the opponent could stop holding back at any moment.
Qin Ming observed this collision with anticipation.
On the contrary, Xiao Zhan appeared relaxed, not finding anything wrong with Su Wen's response.
As someone who personally guided Su Wen's cultivation, how could he not be aware of Su Wen's explosive power and means?
Yu Tianheng quickly rushed out, not giving Su Wen any time to condense Fireballs.
His speed was faster, and his Third Spirit Skill made the blue-purple lightning around his body more profound and violent as a Dragon Roar resounded.
Boom!
Su Wen smiled lightly, watching the situation on the field. When there was only a distance of five meters left between Yu Tianheng and himself, he didn't hesitate at all, directly pushing out the Fireball in front of him.
A large number of paper sheets fluttered and folded, forming a pair of huge wings attached to his back.
"Second Spirit Skill, Thunder Crash!"
As the Giant Fireball approached, Yu Tianheng also used his Second Spirit Skill. Countless lightning snakes surged out from within him, converging towards the direction of the Fireball and colliding with it.
Boom!
The clash of thunder and fire created a violent explosion.
Even the ground trembled.
Thunder and lightning filled the air, leaving traces on the surrounding ground. The explosion of the Fireball left behind large scorched marks on the ground.
As for Su Wen?
At this moment, he was already being flung backward by the intense explosion.
His enormous paper wings spread wide open, propelling him backward rapidly by the terrifying shockwave of the explosion.
In front of him, a large amount of wind elements completely enveloped him, serving as a buffer against the high-temperature shockwave of the explosion, minimizing the damage.
While cushioning the impact, it also served to isolate him, and at the same time effectively stored the impact force of the sudden shockwave.
This force compressed the airflow transformed by the wind elements. After the explosion, the compressed airflow began to expand, pushing Su Wen backward.
Leveraging the shockwave of the explosion, Su Wen quickly distanced himself from the core of the explosion. The injuries he sustained were also minimal!
Su Wen then circulated his Soul Power to calm the impact on his body, circling in the air to dissipate the backward momentum, while simultaneously charging towards Ye Lingling.
Yu Tianheng sensed the situation turning unfavorable.
However, Osler indeed seized the opportunity at this moment.
His reaction speed was undeniably quick.
At the moment when he saw Su Wen stabilize and instead move towards Ye Lingling, Osler, taking advantage of his proximity to Yu Tianheng due to his defensive retreat, swiftly engaged, intercepting Yu Tianheng from continuing to pursue Su Wen.
Yu Feng also reacted promptly, swiftly traversing the sky. His wings transformed into sharp blades, attacking Dugu Yan.
He aimed to intercept Dugu Yan.
Meanwhile, Shi Mo intercepted Shi Mô, preventing him from either protecting Ye Lingling or obstructing Osler.
Witnessing the astonishing reversal on the field, Qin Ming was also somewhat surprised.
'Using wind element manipulation to mitigate the damage from the explosion?'
Despite being so close, one would typically suffer from the shockwaves, yet Su Wen used them to his advantage, making his opponent believe he had calculated correctly. In reality, Su Wen could swiftly distance himself from the explosion's core using the shockwave itself. The time he endured the thunder and flame damage was extremely brief, and coupled with the isolation provided by the wind element, he minimized the impact of the explosion.
This is an advanced tactic and the key to it lies in the initial mental game.
He calculated just right— The Fireball was just about to condense, and assuming Yu Tianheng had the chance to erupt with his second Spirit Skill, preventing Su Wen from smoothly condensing the Fireball into its most terrifying form. He could used the clash to escape effortlessly.
After Yu Tianheng's eruption, there was a lag in his strength, so he couldn't shake off Osler's entanglement at the first opportunity. A fierce wind rose around his body, and the Fireballs and Wind Blades descended towards Ye Lingling in the midst of the tempest.
Qin Ming's expression changed slightly. He quickly manifested his Martial Spirit. In the blink of an eye, he arrived beside Ye Lingling. Terrifying flames swirled around his right claw, sweeping away the Wind Blades and Fireballs with a single motion.
"Ling Ling, you're out," Qin Ming announced regretfully.
Yu Tianheng's expression was grim. Seizing the opportunity, he collided head-on with Osler, pushing him back, then turned his gaze towards Su Wen.
Flight.
Su Wen actually had the ability to fly.
And this method of flight was so unique.
He split the pages of a book, folding and combining them to form huge wings.
Yu Feng looked at Su Wen in astonishment, seeing those paper wings in the air, feeling somewhat surprised.
"Although they're made of folded paper, with the enhancement of his First Spirit Skill, the strength of his paper wings cannot be underestimated" Yu Feng remarked.
"They're probably even stronger than flesh and blood wings. The physical strength of a Beast Martial Spirit's Spirit Master is generally stronger than that of a Tool Martial Spirit's Spirit Master, and the enhancement Spirit Skills provides a great boost to physical attributes. But Tool Martial Spirits are easier to enhance in terms of the strength of the 'tool' itself. Even if books aren't suitable to be used as weapons, they're still ultimately Tool Martial Spirits."
"Yanzi, no need to hold back!" Qin Ming said.
Dugu Yan was now somewhat constrained, mainly concerned about her toxins causing excessive harm to Su Wen. But now, it seemed there was no need to worry about Su Wen's physical condition and other aspects.
With two Spirit Masters capable of flight, one being an agile type Spirit Master and the other attack type. Not to mention Shi Mo the defensive Spirit Master.
It was really difficult for the trio of Yu Tianheng's team to deal with them if they kept holding back. If Dugu Yan remained constrained at this moment, it would undoubtedly lead to defeat.
After Qin Ming finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Zhan. Seeing Xiao Zhan remained silent, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"With Su Wen's level of mastery over wind elements, he can probably isolate the majority of toxins," Qin Ming continued.
Dugu Yan unleashed her toxins to the fullest extent.
Purple mist almost covered the entire training ground.
Within the faint purple mist lay toxins that paralyzed the nerves.
Yu Tianheng was surrounded by lightning, and the toxins would be nullified by the lightning attribute Soul Power within his body, leaving him unaffected.
However, Osler and Yu Feng were not so fortunate.
As the battle progressed, they too were gradually eliminated.
Shi Mo and Shi Mô were also eliminated.
In the end, Su Wen was left to contend with Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan alone.
In the air, he was already in an unbeatable position from the start.
Although quite shameless, even in the Spirit Master competition, this type of combat was recognized.
By using wind elements to completely envelop himself and with the assistance of Spiritual Power, once any toxins spread against the wind, he could quickly stimulate more heaven and earth energy to transform into airflow, replacing the contaminated parts to ensure that the airflow around his body remained toxin-free.
"How does he still have Soul Power?"
Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan's expressions turned grim.
Qin Ming looked surprised. "Does Su Wen have that much Soul Power?"
Xiao Zhan shook his head, offering no explanation. He had noticed this when teaching Su Wen during training sessions. Su Wen's Soul Power recovery speed was extremely fast.
Su Wen had explained to him that it was the effect of his strong Spiritual Power.
But in truth, it wasn't just reliance on the strength of his Spiritual Power.
Such a terrifying soul power recovery speed can only be achieved by adding another application of Su Wen's second Spirit Skill.
