With Oscar and Ning Rongrong win, they manage to conceal and show both of their power at once. "They say they're nickname is Sausage Monopoly and Seven Treasure Glaze Tile Pagoda, but their spirits is a weapon. It doesn't really add up" The female says, sceptical. "Maybe it to shows that they have a connection with the Seven Treasure School?" The male reply. "And how's that explained Sausage Monopoly?". "Well, I don't know. But we should just pay attention to our match later. We maybe fail to properly gauge their power, but if the other members also have their fighting experience, than they probably be pretty strong". With that, the conversation was closed.
After that, the matched start. The announcer start to call the teams over. "For this night, we have The Mad Battle Teams and a newcomers, Shrek Monster. If The Mad Battle Teams win today, this will be a winning streak for them". The two teams come out. They stand on opposite site of each other, and take out their spirits and spirit rings. The Mad Battle Team have a common configuration of white and yellow, but the most eye catching rings can be found in the only girl on the team. Meanwhile, Shrek Monsters all has the configuration of two yellow and one purple, shocking the announcer and audience.
Dai Mubai rush to the front, and all of them follow. Ma Hongjun let out a Phoenix Fire Wire, distracting other members except Mad Xi. Tang Yin zither sounded, sending a wind element at Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing. Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing attack and distract their opponents, two agility monkey spirit masters. Tang San let out a vine, controlling everyone movement and getting everyone out of an attack. Lin Han rush to the spider girl, and try to hit her with a scale. Suddenly, Xiao Wu was attacked by a sheep spirit master. Tang San let out a spider webs, and throw it at Mad Xi. Because of the spider webs corrosive ability, Mad Xi was temporarily incapacitated.
The Wishful Disk spirit master lit up his second ring, giving a boost of defense to the sheep spirit master. Because of that, Xiao Wu is having more hard time dealing with it. Tang Yin send a wind and water element to Xiao Wu, giving her an attack and defense skills. He also give wind element to Dai Mubai, making him even faster. Dai Mubai attack the monkey spirit master, and Tang San deal with the spider woman. This make Zhu Zhuqing and Lin Han open to attack their auxiliary spirit master. Unfortunately, they were intercepted by a monkey spirit master.
The monkey and sheep spirit master retreat to protect their support spirit master. Meanwhile, the spider woman managed to create a barrier using his hair, and Tang San intercepted it with his own webs. Suddenly, The Wishful Disk spirit master third ring light out. He activate Fanaticism, his skill that allows people to ignore pain and boos their rage for about minutes.
The battle continue. Lin Han use Poisonous Breath and cover the whole area with green mist. Under the poison, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing attack, while Dai Mubai defended them. Tang San let out a vine filled with Tang Yin wind element, and attack Mad Xi who recovered because of Fanaticism. The spider woman smirk, and try to attack Tang San. But unfortunately, Tang San use Ghost Shadow Perplexing Tracks and avoid her hair. She change target and attack Tang Yin instead, with Mad Xi following.
Tang Yin smirk, he combined water, wind, and light element and make a blast out of it. The blast impact Mad Xi and the woman knocking them out. Tang San immediately throw them out of the ring, and Ma Hongjun use his third skill and let out a wide range fire attack. The fire engulfed the whole arena, and The Mad Battle Team was weakening because of the fire. Tang Yin lend them the ice and light element at all of them, and they finally defeat The Mad Battle Team.
"With this, the newcomer Shrek Monsters wins. Give applause to our astounding newcomer" The announcer quickly. The arena was silent at first, but it was then filled with cheer. The seven of them smile, and go back to the private room. There, they change their clothes and take off their mask. "Well, it was amazing. Our first victory in groups battle" Dai Mubai say, satisfied. "Yeah, you were awesome back there. Next time, don't forget about us though" Oscar say, while drinking a juice.
"What's more important is you win me a lot of money, five thousand gold coins. With this, I can go and buy that thing I want for a very long time, a beauty house ticket" Flander say happily, hugging a huge bag. "And because we have tiredly competed, we will take one thousand and eight hundred" Zhu Zhuqing surprisingly say, and with fast movement take the bag. She lend it to Tang San, and he accurately take one thousand and eight hundred gold coins, and divided two hundred for each of them. "We also need money for the next stages, repair some utensil and buildings, and we have to pay the villagers we hire. So, I will take two thousand golds" Grandmaster say. "My money" Flander cry pitifully. But the other was to busy cheering to pay any attention to him. They go outside and stroll around, eating and drinking, watching performances, and buy some clothes and trinkets. After finished strolling around, they went back to the academy.
After this, the name Shrek Monsters has been gaining a lot of attention to Souto Spirit Arena. They have made a name for themself after a week of consecutive winning streaks. They also managed to shock others, when they learned about Ning Rongrong and Oscar spirits. "We really made a name for ourself, huh" Ma Hongjun say proudly. "Yes, you did. But you can't get arrogant about it". "Teacher Tang". Ma Hongjun was startled by Tang Hao, who came behind him. "Father, is there some problem?" Tang San ask. "Yes, your mother and I will be gone for a few days. We still have something to do at The Clear Sky Sect. We will go in a week. Before that, I will train you all some more, because you will face a difficult opponent according to Grandmaster". Tang Hao then led them a folder.
The folder come just last night, when Grandmaster was called by Souto City Spirit Arena Manager. The manager explain that there's a team that has caused a lot of income damage to the Spirit Arena, because they have been losing bet to the team. "It's a silver badge team". "Oh, what's make you so sure that we can defeat a silver badge, The Shrek Monsters is a bronze badge after all". "Because the team is consisted of spirit elder. The Shrek Monsters have been winning a consecutive streak. We also has been observing battles and we conclude that The Shrek Monster is the only one that can win this match. I promise you that The Shrek Monsters will receive a silver badge and ten thousand gold coins". "We accept" Grandmaster say.
Grandmaster then watch the match between the enemy team and The Mad Battle Team. Needless to say, it was not a match. It was a slaughter, for The Mad Battle Team. The Mad Battle Team wasn't given a chance. Although the situation seem pretty serious, thankfully the team didn't kill them. Grandmaster left after that, pondering his decision. While it may be a little dangerous, but it will also give The Shrek Monsters a challenge.
"Grandmaster then were given a folder so that we can better prepare ourself. Of course the opposing team get our folder too" Ah Yin chimed in. So for this week, everyone hone their skill more. Xiao Wu and Dai Mubai honed their self made spirit skills. Ning Rongrong, Tang Yin, and Tang San learn The Heart Separation Method. Oscar and Lin Han focus more on controlling their spirit bone skills. Zhu Zhuqing and Ma Hongjun honed their reaction time in defense and attack.Tang San make a plan for their team, and Grandmaster allow it. He give a few pointer to Tang San, and let Tang San pondered it himself. Tang San and Lin Han also work together to counter Dugu Yan poison.
After a week pass by, the team was ready and head to Souto Spirit Arena. They were then ushered to a private room, where they can reenact their plans. "For this tournament, Tang Yin and Xiao Wu will not come to the arena. Instead, it will be replaced with Oscar and Ning Rongrong. Oscar and Ning Rongrong will support us, and also as our ace. The enemy only knows the two of you for your spirits. They won't expect that the two of you can also fight" Tang San explained. "That's not fair, San Ge. I can also goes against that team" Xiao Wu complained. "I know. But Oscar intent is useful against a defense spirit master, and we need Lin Han to counter attack Dugu Yan. So for now, the two of you will have to seat this one out". Xiao Wu still pout at that, but she relented.
Meanwhile, in another private room, The Emperor Team also discuss about their opponent. "They actually not that different than us. This will sure be a challenge" A young man with black hair say. "Well, I'm sure we can fight against them. But I will admit they look strong, especially the phoenix" A man with blonde hair say this time. "Whatever it is, they will succumb to my poison in the end" A woman with green hair say. They all look at the folder one more time, and reenact their plans. "We have to be carefull though. There are nine members in the team, and we won't know who will they send. They must have some hidden secret, otherwise the spirit arena will not choose this team" The woman finally concluded.
They go to the arena after an announcement. Because of the importance of this match, the Spirit Arena has prepared a private stadium filled with people. It was filled with rich people, either be it a spirit master clan or not, to watch the match. The people on the stadium already bet for The Emperor Team, so if The Shrek Monsters can defeat them, than the money that Spirit Arena lost can be returned. "and folks, we now have a match between a silver badge team, The Emperor Team and the new rising star of the bronze badge, The Shrek Monsters" The announcer say excitedly. With that, the two teams come out on opposite door.
The Shrek Monsters all wears a mask, but it was clear that they were younger than The Emperor Teams. The Emperor Team is actually impressive, they can also reach the spirit elder realm in this age. The two teams let out their spirits and spirits ring, and all of them consist of two yellow and one purple. The two teams were a little shock, but they recovered quickly. They become even more cautious of the others background. Meanwhile on top of the stadium, a man with light brown hair smiled. "The Shrek Monsters. It seems that place has acquire a lot of talented students this year. I wonder how they will fare against my team" The man say calmly.
