Chapter 93: Stirring Things Up
Half a month quickly passed by.
Yu Tianheng only took a two-day leave before returning to the Academy and informing Dugu Yan of the decision made by his family.
Visibly, the relationship between the two sides became even closer.
And the Spirit Bone was soon personally delivered by Yu Yuanzhen. Seizing this opportunity, Yu Yuanzhen had a friendly conversation with Su Wen.
Before leaving, Yu Yuanzhen passed on some techniques for controlling Thunderclap elements to Su Wen.
Evidently, Su Wen's development in mastering three elements already made him feel that these Thunderclap element control techniques could be handy for Su Wen in the future.
Su Wen was genuinely grateful for this.
Regardless of future developments, at least with these Thunderclap element control techniques, Su Wen could start exploring techniques related to thunder and lightning cultivation.
"Alright, everyone, our upcoming itinerary will be very tight, so please report any personal matters in advance."
"Okay, our first destination is Blazing City."
The other eight individuals turned their gaze toward Su Wen.
Evidently, the sequence arranged by Qin Ming was well thought out.
The first stop is Blazing City, and it is estimated that Godwind City and the cities where the other five elemental Academies are located will follow.
Heading to these cities known for their respective elemental attributes in advance will allow Su Wen to draw inspiration from them. He aims to digest these inspirations as much as possible during the battles within the next three months.
"Let's go!"
Under Qin Ming's guidance, the group of ten left Heaven Dou Imperial Academy and departed from Heaven Dou City.
"Xiaowen, Rongrong, both of you are already Amethyst Spirit Fighter Badge holders. When the time comes, the two of you will form a team for a double battle, challenging the Amethyst Spirit Fighter Badge team of Blazing City with a higher rank."
"And upon reaching the Spirit Ancestor Realm, the teams with Amethyst Spirit Fighter badges will became more numerous.
"You, a Spirit Elder, and you, a Spirit Grand Master, challenging two Spirit Ancestors should provide enough pressure."
"In addition, among the slots for the Royal Combat Team, both of you have submitted applications. I will arrange the lineup before the specific battles, and there's a possibility that both of you may participate."
Su Wen sighed inwardly.
One day, he would have to resort to cheating as well.
No choice but to conceal his Soul Power level; it had to be done this way.
His true Soul Power level was forty-eight, which was considered high-tier even among Spirit Ancestors.
It didn't qualify as a genuine challenge.
The opponent couldn't exert enough pressure on him.
However, this wasn't a significant issue for Su Wen. He cultivated through intelligence, not through oppression.
"He can analyze and sense the enemy's methods; breakthroughs don't necessarily have to occur under pressure.
Blazing City is located to the east of Heaven Dou City, ranking as the easternmost city in the entire Heaven Dou Empire.
The journey took the group a full ten days.
During this time, they participated in Spirit Fighting matches in the intermediate cities they passed through, but only stayed briefly before moving on.
This competition was also an opportunity to enter the Great Spirit Arena for observation and experience, broadening their knowledge and horizons.
Throughout the trip, their goal remained several major cities, where they would spend a week in each, awaiting challenges from the local Great Spirit Arenas.
Ten days later, they arrived at Blazing City.
The temperature in Blazing City seemed noticeably higher than the outside, creating a stifling heat.
However, the city's residents did not find it unusual.
Blazing City's Great Spirit Arena awaits."
Qin Ming, as the team leader, participated in tonight's group battle to ensure the survival of the Royal Combat Team.
"Amethyst Spirit Fighter Team?"
Among the seven members of the main team, Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan held Gold Spirit Fighter Badges, while the remaining five were Silver Spirit Fighters. However, due to the substitutes Su Wen and Ning Rongrong, the Royal Combat Team unexpectedly became an Amethyst Spirit Fighter Team.
After mastering the Spirit Fusion Method, Su Wen changed his appearance and adopted a new name. He continued to participate in ranked battles with Ning Rongrong, a Gold Spirit Fighter, experiencing the challenges of a Gold Spirit Fighter team.
This also led to a rapid increase in his Spirit Fighter Badge level.
Despite consistently engaging in higher-tier battles and double-ranking with an Auxiliary Spirit Master, Su Wen's performance remained stable. With successive victories, he quickly ascended to the rank of Amethyst Spirit Fighter Badge.
Certainly, he has also been targeted and sniped, breaking his winning streak and preventing the badge level from advancing further. After all, he has only participated in Great Spirit Arena matches for half a year since restarting with a "new account".
The Amethyst badge of the Royal Combat Team drew the attention of the staff, but it wasn't enough. What truly made them take notice of this team was when Qin Ming placed a bet of one hundred thousand Gold Spirit Coins on the Royal Combat Team's victory.
One hundred thousand Gold Spirit Coins! If they were to win, the Blazing City Great Spirit Arena would undoubtedly experience some financial strain. Even if it didn't result in a major financial loss, the involved individuals would certainly face significant pressure.
"All right, you should start preparing as well. I will wait for them to arrange the opponents and then provide you with the information," Qin Ming said.
A quarter of an hour later.
"Here is the information on your opponents—a Gold Spirit Fighter team, all Spirit Elders, with three of them having the optimal Spirit Ring configuration. Their captain is among them, and the team's level is also due to the Gold Spirit Fighter Badge held by this captain," Qin Ming handed the information to Yu Tianheng.
"This competition won't provide much growth for you, Xiaowen. Let Tianheng and the others take the stage, accumulating Spirit Fighter points and facilitating the quick promotion of Yu Feng and the others to the Gold Spirit Fighter Badge. As for you and Rongrong, just sign up for the doubles match tonight. If you're seeking a challenge, you can try challenging a Spirit Ancestor."
"Okay," both Su Wen and Ning Rongrong agreed.
"Rongrong, let's go," Su Wen said, leading Ning Rongrong to sign up.
Watching Su Wen and Ning Rongrong's departure, Qin Ming frowned, feeling that something was off.
"Hello, please help us register as a team," Su Wen requested from the staff.
The staff, looking at the young duo in front of them, was momentarily stunned.
"Young man, team matches are seven-person team battles. If you register as a team, you'll be playing 2v7 in team matches. If you want to compete in the Great Spirit Arena, I recommend registering as a duo, participating in 2v2 matches."
Appreciating the staff's kindness, Su Wen directly pulled out his Amethyst Spirit Fighter Badge. Seeing the stunned reaction of the staff, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but chuckle, promptly revealing her own Amethyst Spirit Fighter Badge.
The staff's jaw dropped.
Looking at Su Wen and Ning Rongrong, he wondered, "Bro, we're on the same wavelength; are you trying to outsmart me?"
With two Amethyst Spirit Fighter Badges, attempting a 2v7 match was a mystery even to him. However, winning a 2v7 seemed impossible, right?
Although maintaining rationality, the staff, considering the prestige of the two Amethyst Spirit Fighter Badges, reluctantly registered Su Wen and Ning Rongrong as a team.
