30 One Man vs Four Beasts
In the core region of the Grear Star Dou Forest, within a certain mountain where Feng Qian and the others were currently residing.
Over the past 7 years of training under the Old Man's guidance and consumption of the Immortal Herbal on this mountain, their cultivation and chemistry with each other had improved tremendously.
Currently, their cultivation was at the peak of the Spirit Beast Cultivation Age in the thousand year Spirit Beast category, and their bodies had grown rapidly with an average height of 8-10 meters.
However, at the moment, a bettlefield quivered with disparity as the Old Man faced against Feng Qian and the others.
"Let's see your progress over the past 7 years," said the Old Man with a seriousness in his eyes.
...
"Alright, get ready everyone, just as we planned!" Feng Qian said to Feng Linlin and others.
The air was filled with anticipation as the four Spirit Beast teamed up together, preparing to face the Old Man.
"Now!" Feng Qian ordered.
Fwoshh~~
"Roar!!"
The battle commenced as Feng Linlin lunged forward, claws unsheathed, aiming to catch the Old Man off guard.
The Golden Tortoise positioned itself, ready to provide support from the rear in case Feng Linlin needed protection or needed to be teleported back.
The Phoenix, soaring above the battlefield, prepared to rain down fiery spells from a distance.
Feng Qian, acting as the leader, observed the unfolding chaos, strategizing to restrict the Old Man's movements.
"Take this, Master!" Feng Linlin's first strike was swift and decisive, claws slashing through the air, emitting a dangerous slash of light towards the Old Man.
Slash, Slash~~
Pang, Pang~~
Swish~~
The Old Man, however, displayed a mastery of staff combat, parrying and evading with a nimbleness that belied its age.
"Your Cutting Light technique is formidable, but it still lacks the unpredictability needed to catch a nimble opponent," the Old Man remarked with a sagacious grin.
The clash of Feng Linlin's Claws and the Old Man's staff was spectacular, the white tiger's slash of light met the Old Man's stick releasing a burst of dazzling light.
As Feng Linlin engaged in close combat, the Golden Tortoise initiated its support. Sphere barriers materialized, forming a strong protective shield around the team.
The Old Man commented with a wry smile, "Your defensive abilities are commendable, not bad."
Simultaneously, the Phoenix unleashed a barrage of fire spells from above, each fiery projectile aimed at disrupting the Old Man's movements.
Screech~~
The sky became a canvas of vibrant flames, filled with Phoenix's potent elemental abilities.
Boom, Boom~~
The Old Man, however, danced through the onslaught with spatial manipulations, appearing and disappearing with a fluidity that defied the chaotic inferno.
Amidst the dance of fire and spatial manipulations, the Old Man taunted the Phoenix, "Your flames are powerful, but they still lack the precision needed to catch one who can traverse space."
Feng Qian, observing the battlefield, channeling his Poisonous Ice and Fire atributes, he created a complex pattern of poisonous traps, encircling the Old Man with crystalline structures imbued with deadly toxins.
"Ho-ho! A new way to use your Poisonous ice and fire, an intriguing combination," the Old Man remarked with a grin.
The Old Man, faced with the combined assault, acknowledged the prowess of its opponents.
Soon, in response to their relentless attacks, the Old Man suddenly unleashed a burst of spatial energy, creating illusions that mirrored his movements.
Feng Linlin, momentarily confused, faced multiple manifestations of the Old Man, each indistinguishable from the real one.
"Linlin! Switch with Tortoise!!" Feng Qian, realizing the need for a change in strategy, commanded Feng Linlin to switch with the Golden Tortoise.
As the white tiger withdrew, the Golden Tortoise seized the opportunity to unleash its offensive abilities.
Fwosh, Fwosh~~
Spatial distortions manifested around the Old Man, disrupting his movements and creating openings for counterattacks.
The Old Man, temporarily hindered by the spatial distortions, faced the coordinated assault with a sagacious composure.
He countered the spatial manipulations with a burst of its own, nullifying the effects and regaining control over the battlefield.
The Golden Tortoise, recognizing the resilience of its opponent, adjusted its tactics, reinforcing the team's defenses.
"Alright! Tortoise, you can withdraw now!" Feng Qian ordered while observing the situation.
Roar~~
Feng Linlin, rejuvenated and guided by Feng Qian's strategic insight, reentered the fray.
This time, Feng Linlin's claws ignited with a blazing intensity, seeking to overwhelm the Old Man with a relentless onslaught.
The Golden Tortoise maintained a defensive stance, ready to intervene when necessary.
Amidst the chaos, Feng Qian observed the ebb and flow of the battle. He realized that a decisive move was needed to turn the tide.
After careful thought, he commanded the Golden Tortoise to create a spatial distortion, aiming to disorient the Old Man and disrupt its spatial awareness.
Bzzt~~
"Ohh.. Interesting." The Old Man, faced with the unexpected tactic, found his movements momentarily constrained.
"Now! Phoenix, Linlin!" Feng Linlin capitalized on the opportunity, launching a coordinated assault alongside the Phoenix's fiery onslaught.
Clang~~
Boom!!~~~
Feng Linlin's claws met the staff with unparalleled ferocity, while the Phoenix's flames intensified, creating a dazzling display of destructive power.
However, the Old Man, resilient and wise, adapted swiftly. Channeling his mastery over space, he created a localized distortion that countered the Golden Tortoise's interference, and managed to escape on time.
Standing there, Old Man stopped the test and acknowledged the team's efforts. "Good, good... Your training in combinations and strategy in team fights is commendable, it sure has progressed a lot over the past 7 years."
"It's over? I thought you would continue until the evening, like you always do--" said the Golden Tortoise, but before it finished its sentence, it was stopped by Feng Linlin.
"Hoo? Later, I'll make sure to give you exclusive training just for you, little tortoise..." The Old Man replied with a wry smile.
"Actually, today, I brought you your new junior disciple…" said the Old Man as he took something out of his spatial bag.
"Little junior?! Where is it Master? Show me!" Feng Linlin answered excitedly.
"This..." The Old Man showed them what he had just taken out from his spatial bag.
However, when the Old Man showed what he had just taken from his back, everyone became stunned.
"An egg?" Feng Qian asked while observing the exquisite colorful Egg in the Old Man's hand.
