"Speaking of which, Sui Sui, since you didn't go to hunt for your eighth spirit ring, where have you been for the past two months?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at Tang Sui.
Tang Sui hummed, "I went to the sea areas around Sea God Island for a stroll, spending time understanding the situation nearby."
And incidentally became the top wanted target in the sea.
Tang San frowned, "You've already scouted the surrounding terrain, and still haven't found a suitable spirit beast?"
"Don't worry about me, brother, I'm not in a hurry. The eighth spirit ring won't run away," Tang Sui winked at Tang San.
Tang San thought of his sister's unusual way of obtaining spirit rings and relaxed his worries, moving past the topic.
"Now that the first trial is complete, everyone has worked hard for this past year. Let's take these three days to rest well first. Starting on the fourth day, we will conduct random team battles to move our muscles and bones, as a form of recovery training. What do you think?"
Tang Sui thought for a moment and nodded.
Since there was nothing else to do, being quiet for a few days would be a good way to lie low.
Dai Mubai looked at the other companions, his gaze shifting between Ma Hongjun and Oscar, and suggested, "After the rehabilitation, I think we can take our time with the second trial."
Ma Hongjun, who was being scrutinized, understood, "I know what you mean, Brother Dai. You want to wait until both Xiao Ao and I reach level seventy."
Having one more person at level seventy meant one more spirit skill, and their safety would have an extra layer of insurance.
Tang San nodded, "I agree with Brother Dai's suggestion. What about you guys?"
"I have no objections. To be honest, I also want to reach level seventy quickly." Oscar looked gently at Ning Rongrong, his desire to become stronger not at all less than any of his companions.
Thus, after a year of high-intensity, oppressive training, everyone welcomed three days of complete relaxation and play.
Of course, although Tang Sui was not part of the high-intensity oppressive training, she was also happy to slack off.
Three days later, everyone returned to their routines and underwent random team training.
The grouping method was a simple draw. Those who drew the same number formed a group. The battle groups were arranged as Group 1 versus Group 3, and Group 2 versus Group 4, with one person having a chance to be on a bye.
"Great Xiangxiang, I'm in the same group as you!" Ma Hongjun held the small wooden slips he had temporarily made, looking at the carved '3' on it, and was extremely happy.
Bai Chenxiang, who was holding a small wooden slip with a carved '3', looked at Ma Hongjun's silly grin and the corner of her mouth lifted slightly for a moment before quickly suppressing it. She pretended to be fierce and said, "Then you better not lose!"
"That's absolutely impossible!" Ma Hongjun immediately straightened his back and patted his chest, saying, "Don't worry, Xiangxiang, with our Feng Xiang combination, we are invincible!"
Bai Chenxiang: "..."
She rolled her eyes in annoyance.
What an idiot.
On the other side, Zhu Zhuqing, who had drawn Group 1, raised her hand and showed her small wooden slip, announcing loudly, "I'm a 1."
"What a coincidence, Zhuqing, I'm also a 1. It looks like we can form a new Spirit Cat combination."
Tang Sui dangled the small wooden slip in her hand, her eyes filled with a smile as she looked at the suddenly stiff Ma Hongjun, "Fatty, please enlighten me later."
Ma Hongjun: "..." Oops, I spoke too soon!
He looked at Bai Chenxiang with a bitter expression, but saw that his beloved's face showed no signs of dejection. Instead, her eyes were burning with fierce fighting spirit.
Ma Hongjun, who saw this, paused almost imperceptibly. His playful demeanor lessened slightly, and his eyes took on a hint of seriousness and solemnity. Su Dan Novel Network
"I will work hard!" Bai Chenxiang said firmly.
Neither Zhu Zhuqing nor Tang Sui showed any disdain. The former, in particular, nodded appreciatively, "Good luck."
The combat method for their random team battles this time was not limited to spirit skills and pure combat. This meant that Bai Chenxiang could still use hidden weapons and combine them with the speed advantage of the Swift Clan to attack.
Xiao Wu and the others watched this and nodded silently, then stood to the side, preparing to observe the match.
Before the fight, Tang Sui thought of something and said, "Let me say first, I don't plan to use the Spirit Face this time. I'm preparing to use the Clear Sky Hammer."
Others: "???"
"Huh? What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Tang Sui was bewildered.
It was her teammate Zhu Zhuqing who spoke with difficulty, "...Sui Sui, you, plan to be... a Titled Douluo-level spirit master of the Assault Type?"
Tang Sui: 0v0
She smiled shyly, "It's just that I haven't touched the Clear Sky Hammer for so long, I've forgotten how to swing the hammer."
On the second day of arriving at Sea God Island, she had entered that misty world. Although she could convert demonic energy into spirit power, only the masks responded. The Clear Sky Hammer had no reaction at all.
Later, she thought carefully and concluded that the reason was probably that the Clear Sky Hammer was unique to the Douluo world. The Heavenly Dao of that world was inherently exclusive, and it was even less likely to allow her to use it.
After returning to the Douluo world, she had been engrossed in frying fish and making snacks for the past period, completely forgetting the existence of the Clear Sky Hammer.
The others who heard Tang Sui's words: "..."
Silence was the order of the day.
Finally, Tang San coughed lightly and said, "Actually, I think it doesn't matter which spirit Sui Sui uses."
The others agreed.
The competition continued.
After both sides released their spirit and spirit rings, Tang San, who had a bye this time, looked at the two sides in position, raised his hand, and gave the order, "Begin!"
Zhu Zhuqing, who had completed her spirit possession, moved first. She leaped high like a shadow. Even in broad daylight, it was impossible to catch sight of this cunning shadow under the scorching sun.
Under the cover of two yellow, two purple, and one black spirit rings, Bai Chenxiang on the opposite side also soared into the air, disappearing from her spot like a faint purple light. In the blink of an eye, she had approached Tang Sui.
Sensing a sharp whistling sound, Tang Sui tilted her head back, dodging a kick that grazed her jaw.
The Clear Sky Hammer in her hand was thrown like a javelin. The redness had deepened to the point of being almost black. In the sunlight, the hammer, with its eerily black color, flew out of Tang Sui's hand. Under Tang Sui's control, it also turned into an afterimage, disappearing from everyone's sight. It unexpectedly appeared in Bai Chenxiang's next attack trajectory, descending with thunderous force.
"What?!" Bai Chenxiang's pupils contracted. Relying on the advantage of her pure agility-type spirit, she could hear in all directions, constantly dodging the omnipresent Clear Sky Hammer.
Such speed, it was incredible that the heavy Clear Sky Hammer could be as swift as Grandpa Yang's spear...
Having been born and raised among the single-attribute four clans under the Clear Sky Sect, Bai Chenxiang was no stranger to the Clear Sky Hammer and had sparred with direct disciples of the Clear Sky Sect who possessed it several times.
But now, facing Tang Sui's Clear Sky Hammer, she felt it was completely unfamiliar.
"Whoosh—!"
The Clear Sky Hammer brushed past Bai Chenxiang's hair. Her pupils contracted, and she suddenly realized why the Clear Sky Hammer could be so fast.
Because she saw the faint light on the Clear Sky Hammer that was the same as when it had brought her up the steps.
