"What did you say? You want to participate in a one-on-one Dou Hun competition?" Master looked in surprise at Tang Sui, who stood before him.
Tang Sui nodded and said earnestly, "Teacher, since you haven't restricted my spirit abilities, it means I can freely combine spirit abilities within the Dou Hun arena this time. Moreover, after the last battle, I believe I can try one-on-one Dou Hun."
Master met Tang Sui's determined gaze, his brow furrowed, "But your attack style is very singular. If you start with one-on-one Dou Hun battles, your opponent might underestimate you due to the development direction of your spirit. However, some experienced opponents are not that easy to deal with. Once your attack style is restricted, it will be very difficult for you to win."
"But my spirit's usage is not just a single smash. Didn't you see the battle I partnered with Sister Xiaowu on the combat stage just now?" Tang Sui put her hands behind her back and winked at Master, a hint of playfulness in her smile.
Master was speechless.
Indeed, he hadn't expected that Tang Sui, who had just had a fleeting idea, could perfect that self-created spirit ability to such a degree.
But...
"If you've really made up your mind, then go and try. However, I hope you have a backup plan besides this, and you're still not allowed to use hidden weapons. The spirit power consumed by self-created spirit abilities is twice that of ordinary spirit abilities, so it's not suitable for prolonged battles," Master said earnestly, looking at Tang Sui.
A trace of cunning flickered in Tang Sui's eyes as she reassured Master, "Don't worry, Teacher. Of course, I don't only have this one trump card."
Master looked at Tang Sui, who was eager to try, and knew he couldn't persuade her. He sighed, "Then go quickly. Your dean and Teacher Zhao are keeping an eye on the one-on-one Dou Hun area."
"Okay, Teacher, I'm going~"
Tang Sui happily turned around and ran towards the one-on-one Dou Hun area, as if little flowers were blooming happily behind her.
Master watched Tang Sui's vigorous back, shook his head helplessly, and shifted his attention back to Tang San and Ma Hongjun, who were about to compete next.
"Next, please welcome the Cat-Mouse combination, who have already achieved four consecutive victories in the two-on-two Dou Hun, against the little-known new combination – the Blue Phoenix combination!"
The host's enthusiastic voice reignited the atmosphere in the venue, leading it into a new wave of excitement.
Master, sitting in the audience, was slightly stunned when he heard this name, and a rare trace of reminiscence appeared in his eyes.
...
In the one-on-one Dou Hun area, Flanders and Zhao Wuji sat in the audience, watching their students step onto the stage one after another. After each of them achieved a complete victory, their lips couldn't help but curve into satisfied smiles.
"Wuji, did you see that? Now, facing spirit masters of the same level, or even higher levels, in the Great Dou Hun Arena, Mu Bai can still turn defeat into victory with ease! This is the result of Master's training!" It was not in vain that their academy had to deplete its resources for Master's training methods for the past three months! Flanders exclaimed, sitting in his seat.
Zhao Wuji couldn't help but nod, "Isn't it! These little monsters are growing at an astonishing rate under Master's training. Tang Sui, who used to be out of breath after running two laps, can now run two full laps with weights around the academy and Suo Tuo City without getting tired! She only started to falter on the third lap."
Zhao Wuji couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the changes in the children over the past three months.
Although Tang San and the others could now run five or six laps without getting tired, that was Tang Sui! They couldn't have such high expectations for her!
Honestly, he thought that after this round of training, it would be good enough if Tang Sui could last one lap without getting tired, but he didn't expect her to do more!
Zhao Wuji almost felt touched for Tang Sui.
Flanders, a brother of so many years, turned his head and looked at the emotion on Zhao Wuji's face. Without him saying anything, he knew what Zhao Wuji was thinking. He immediately smiled and said, "Yes. If Sui Sui's body can be completely cured in the future, then her future will truly be limitless!"
"Exactly, exactly. I wonder how things are going with Tang Sui and the others in the two-on-two Dou Hun area..." As he said this, Zhao Wuji's voice suddenly became quiet, and his eyes were fixed on the stage, his gaze dazed.
"Wuji? What's wrong?" Flanders looked at Zhao Wuji's reaction with confusion.
The latter tremblingly raised his finger and pointed at the stage. From the entrance on the left, a petite figure walked out, his face full of disbelief, "Old Fu, I think... I'm seeing things..."
Is he blind? Or is the after-effect of the previous blow still lingering? Otherwise, why would he see this little ancestor in the one-on-one Dou Hun area?
"What?"
Flanders turned his head and followed Zhao Wuji's gaze. With his extraordinary strength, he immediately saw the familiar monster-patterned mask on the face of the petite figure emerging from the darkness under the flickering lights. His mouth gaped in astonishment, "That's - Tang Sui?!" Su Dan Novel Network
As he uttered the last two words, Flanders' voice suddenly rose, but it was drowned out by the host's introduction, enhanced with spirit power—
"Please welcome the contestant for the next one-on-one Dou Hun match, Battle Spirit Master Pang Long! Beast Spirit: Iron Horn Rhinoceros!"
"And his opponent! Huh... Is this a Support Spirit Master, Tang Sui? Tool Spirit... Spirit Mask?"
The host's voice suddenly became quieter, even a little uncertain. He carefully flipped through the roster in his hand, wondering if the staff had made a mistake in printing it for him.
