Chapter 5: Team Battle

The moment both sides began to attack, Shen Mei, with her Azure Fern, the spirit master from the control system of their group, activated her first ability.

Immediately after this, her martial soul spread out into the surroundings, running towards her enemies like snakes full of leaves.

Its branches then ran through the area to narrow her opponents' space, also going against their fists and heels.

Simultaneously, Cheng Tian's group's two spirit masters, with beast spirits, began attacking the more complicated opponents, activating their first skills.

"First Skill: Flames of Darkness!" A young man with a Headless Mule as a martial soul shouted as a yellow spirit ring glowed in his surroundings.

With that, his neck, which seemed covered in black flames, 'spat' in the direction of the spiritual master leading the opposing group.

At the same time, the girlfriend of the young man with the Headless Mule activated her technique. "First Skill: Merciless Horns!"

Thus, a giant horn on her forehead quickly circled until several others appeared in her surroundings. She then moved, and several sharp horns followed against several of her opponents.

"Damn!"

"The abilities of those two are truly problematic!" The leader of the rival group to Cheng Tian's commented under his breath, immediately making his move.

"Second Skill: Wind Blades!"

Swooish!

With that, he quickly made several cuts with his martial soul, a greenish sword, which seemed to contain a constant flow of wind in its blade.

The two sides began to battle, with the spirit master from the control system of Cheng Tian group limiting the movements of her opponents, while the pair attacked with everything the strongest of the enemy side.

Cheng Tian's group had one weakness, him. However, each of those spirit masters was as strong or stronger than that of the opposing group. Because of this, even with this young man in the rear without doing much, they did not feel any extra difficulty fighting their opponents!

With that, Mo Jiayi and Gong Xiu also became involved in the fight, each facing an opponent with similar abilities to their own.

Mo Jiayi had a tool-type martial soul, the Two-Headed Spear, and was facing an opponent with a weapon type that looked like a needle.

On the other hand, Gong Xiu, with her beast spirit, Nine-tailed Fox, was facing an opponent who had a Glacial Wolf, both fighting in melee combat.

"Looks like you guys have a big weak spot on your side, don't you think, Lin Long?" A blond young man with a food spirit from the opposing group said this as his third spirit ring vibrated on his back.

"Third Skill: Energy Meatballs!"

Several apple-sized meatballs then appeared between this fellow's hands before he smiled, throwing them in the direction of his teammates.

With that signal, the other six team members began backward movements, moving away from their opponents to get one meatball.

Seeing this, Lin Long frowned, realizing that his team would be in trouble if those people ate those meatballs.

That's because he already knew his opponent's ability!

Energy Meatballs gave an energy boost to whoever consumed them, something capable of making level 31 people fight level 33 ordinary individuals on equal footing!

With this in mind, long black wings emerged from his back, while his martial soul, Underworld Winged Lizard, took shape in his body, making his skin slightly darkened.

He soared into the sky and activated his third ability, Chaotic Tail, swinging a large, long tail from his rear against the meatballs flying in the surroundings.

However, this young man had fallen into the enemy trap!

That was a competition between the two teams to decide the most suitable reserve team for the continental competition scheduled to take place in a few years. However, as much as individual strength was significant, the ability to work well as a team was the most relevant in a confrontation of this kind.

Each team member was essential and could play a vital role in a confrontation. So, even if not everyone was as helpful at some moments, losing a teammate could result in a deficiency in a second moment.

That could destroy the entire group in a deadly confrontation or defeat in a competition!

Hence, if they made it easy for their us enemies to eliminate one of their members, even if it were the weakest, it would be a negative point in this training!

Thus, the group opposing Cheng Tian's team did not miss the opportunity to use Lin Long's movement to attack that young man with a black and white fan in his hands.

A red-haired young man in that group then took his spirit tool, a boomerang, and attacked Cheng Tian.

"Second Skill: Ten Attacks in a Row!"

Cheng Tian felt his blood boil as he saw that weapon coming toward his chest. But he controlled his feelings as best he could not to show Madara's abilities in this place.

He did not know much about the people in his surroundings, and even if this was an academy with a name to protect, it was undeniable that someone had tried to kill his predecessor.

Since he did not know who was behind those two men from before, he had to consider that everyone there was a potential enemy!

In this case, hiding his most impressive skills was something important to him!

With that, he left Madara's techniques aside and just used the sensory abilities of his Sharingan to better understand what to do without using other abilities.

So, he protected himself with his big fan, activating his first skill of this martial soul.

"First Skill: Total Reflection!"

The moment the enemy boomerang and Cheng Tian's great fan collided, a magnificent scene appeared in that place.

The two martial souls clashed hard as a white ring glowed around that black-haired young man, producing orange sparks and a metallic sound.

Then the white part of the fan glowed brightly, and a strong gust of wind arose from it, counter-attacking that orange item.

"Oh?" The person attacking Cheng Tian felt surprised that his skill was easily countered by a skill coming from a mere Ten Years Spirit Ring.

One of the teachers watching that training then commented to his colleagues. "The skill of this spirit ring is excellent, but it's a pity that this is only a Ten Years Spirit Ring."

The other two then agreed, nodding to that man.

'Indeed, regardless of age, beasts can give useful skills to us spirit masters. However, the higher the age of a ring of, for example, a control system tool spirit, the higher the controlling nature of such a spirit.'

'In that case, the nature of his spirit is much weaker than Xiong Kang's...' A woman thought of this as they watched Cheng Tian fly backward as that young man's boomerang returned to him.

'Hah... Hah... Hah..." Cheng Tian hurriedly breathed, feeling his two arms aching as if every ligament in them had suffered sprains.

'Damn! That attack was too powerful, and I almost exhausted myself just to defend a blow!' He looked at the people on the other side of that area while sweating excessively.

Meanwhile, Xiong Kang only had a few drops of sweat on his face, ready to continue the fight without further problems after his opponent's counterattack.

"Well, how will you protect yourself now?" He smiled as a yellow spirit ring glowed.

"First Skill: Back and Forth!"

"Second Skill: Reptilian Claws!"

Right after making his move against the previous meatballs, Lin Long saw that Cheng Tian was in a bad situation and attacked in the direction of Xiong Kang and the enemy spirit master from the support system.

In this way, he made several long-range attacks while flying over that area, throwing sharp claws in the direction of those two without bothering to defend his ally.

The point in this training was to win, and since these opponents had shown weakness at this point, eliminating two for the cost of one seemed worth it to Lin Long!

"Damn it!"

One of them shouted, but it was already too late for him to retrieve his boomerang.

"Second Skill: Chaotic Winds!"

Simultaneous to Lin Long's movement, Cheng Tian struggled to stand and swung his fan from side to side, creating strong waves of winds in front of him.

But at this point, already without much energy for his second and more powerful skill, Cheng Tian was finally hit by the yellow boomerang at the height of his chest!

"Ouch!" He cried out in pain, along with Lin Long's two now fallen opponents.

"Mo Jiayi, Gong Xiu, let's finish this quickly!" Shen Mei shouted to those two as she activated her third skill.

"Third Skill: Wooden Prison!"
