Golden Roc vs Shrek

"The qualifying competition's first round, first match, formally starts." The referee stated, both teams entering the arena.

Over Shrek's side, Tai Long and Dai Mubai were at the front followed by Huang Yuan, Jing Ling and Xiao Wu. Tang San was at the center with Jiang Zhu as support at the back, already preparing their formation for the battle with serious faces as they waited for the start.

They invoked their spirits, yellow and purple light shining around them as their spirit rings appeared.

Seeing their spirit rings, the audience was a little shocked, they didn't expect the laughing stock academy that dared to wore that shabby uniforms to be so competent. Not only all the students had the ideal configuration of rings, they even had two Spirit Ancestors! Incredible youngs at that.

On the other side, Haotian, Meijing, Biyun, Dugu Yan, Jiezhi and Meigu stood without any formation, calmly staying near each other. More than a fight, they seemed to come to have a chat, not even an ounce of fighting spirit could be sense from them, not even invoking their spirits.

Haotian's gaze fell over the Shrek's team, especially over Tang San, seeing his spirit rings, two yellows and two purples.

'So Tang San was able to break through without the immortal herbs' Haotian analyzed 'In the end, he used them to make his body stronger rather than his spirit energy. However, he certainly had not dared to try to absorb a 10.000 years old ring without that boost, clearly becoming weaker.'

'Mubai was able to break through recently because he is older and started with higher cultivation, but I suppose that is weaker than in the novel. However, even being weaker and knowing about us being part of Heaven Dou, they didn't change the formation, not using the full Shrek Seven Devils.' Haotian deducted 'As I thought, they would keep their strength, most surely throwing away the match.'

The referee looked at Heaven Dou's side with a confused face. It must be known that once he had announced the match, there would be 1 minute for the teams to prepare and invoke their spirits, However, looking at Heaven Dou, they seemed to not be prepared to fight, they even lack one person!

The referee really didn't want to act, but he couldn't let the match start like this, becoming a letdown for all the audience. "Sorry but..." He put up his mind and stepped forward, ready to urgently made them prepared.

"Fsssssss!" However, just as he talked, a loud sound was heard, causing him to shut up. From the sky, strong winds could be heard as something similar to a tornado was falling over the arena at an incredible speed.

The referee unconsciously covered his head, hiding his view to protect himself from the tornado crash. However, no crash happened. Where the tornado should have crashed, now stood a beautiful girl with shiny blond hair and an incredibly hot body, wearing Heaven Dou's uniform that hugged her body, accentuating her curves. There was no sight of wings around her, having just withdrawn her spirit.

"PERFECT LANDING!" Chenxiang made her appearance, showing a big grin over her face. Unlike, times before, no crack could be found under her as just as the tornado was about to hit the ground, perfectly stopped, showing herself. It could seem easy, but to stop so precisely at such speed was an incredible feat, Chenxiang showing her growth and her greater control over her speed.

Chenxiang turned towards Shrek, lowering her body a little and making a fighting stance "Let's start!" She shouted excitedly.

The referee looked at her shocked, but certainly, the match needed to start. "Cough!" He calmed himself a little and lifted his right hand "Start!" He lowered his hand, announcing the start of the match.

"Bang!" Just as the start, Chenxiang kicked the ground, shooting herself alone towards Shrek's team that was a little shocked seeing only Chenxiang fighting.

Shrek was prepared in little time, but it was enough for Chenxiang to reach them, arriving at Tai Long, throwing a punch at him.

"Calm down!" Tang San shouted making his team members recover and prepared "Long, stop her!"

"I won't lose in strength!" Tai Long reacted, his three spirit rings shined, his muscles growing stronger and hair growing all around him, resembling, even more, an orangutan. Finally, his right hand doubled its size as he punched at Chenxiang.

"Boom!" Both punches met, stopping an instant showing how matched they are, their strength similar.

"Haaa!" Chenxiang put over more strength, pushing over Long's attack, breaking his stance as he pushed him. Their strength was too similar, so she was unable to clearly hit him. However, her speed and agility were far superior.

With Tai Long unable to react due to his broken stance, Chenxiang stomped her right foot over the ground, using the momentum created by her punch, she twirled her body, turning 180º and perfectly kicking Tai Long's stomach.

"Bahg!" Tai Long vomited, receiving the full brunt of the attack, being throw over 10 meters away but that simple kick, almost falling out of the arena.

"Jiang, heal him. Mubai stop her!" Tang San commanded.

Jiang Zhu quickly acted, her second spirit ring shined and she waved her Healing Scepter towards Tai Long "Healing Light!" a green light surged from her scepter, falling over Tai Long and slowly healing him.

Having recovered a little, Tai Long gazed at Chenxiang with an afraid look. He knew that Chenxiang was stronger and had higher cultivation, but it must be known that all his skills increased his strength. To lose against her in a pure raw clash, and she didn't even activate her spirit, even less her skills!

'A healing spirit' Haotian looked at Jiang Zhu with interest, but quickly shook his head 'The talent is lacking, is no way near Lingling, only being able to heal light injuries.'

Mubai was the next to act, his first and third ring shining, his body expanding as his strength and defense increased.

"Light Wave!" Mubai's second ring shined, shooting a light wave attack from his mouth towards Chenxiang's position.

"This would be too much" Chenxiang mumbled.

"Booom!" The light wave fell over her, directly crashing towards her and creating a smokescreen.

"CRRRRRR!" With a loud shriek, the smoke dispersed, revealing Chenxiang with her spirit released, a strong and enormous raptor over her and two big golden wings at her back and 4 spirit rings around her, 2 yellow, 1 purple and 1 black. Her wings were covering her as she used them to defend from Mubai's attack, her first skill shining, making her wings stronger.

Seeing her spirit unleashed, everyone was shocked by its strength. It was the appearance of the mythical Golden Roc!

...

"10.000 years old ring" Over the VIP area Xue Ye said interested as he saw Chenxiang's 4th spirit ring.

"Of course, that's what you could expect from Heaven Dou's team, even if it's the secondary one" Xue Xing, the emperor's brother, said proudly. He was the manager of the academy, even when he barely acted, his honor was especially related to it. If the academy had a good position, his influence and power would grow with it.

"The might of the Golden Roc sure is enormous, to even be able to absorb a 10.000 years old as a 4th spirit ring. The Speed Clan surely would have a bright future" Fengzhi made a light smile looking towards Haotian "But I suppose that this won't be the biggest surprise."

"What are you referring?" Xue Xing asked curiously, not knowing what Fengzhi was referring. From his information, Chenxiang should be the strongest. However, Fengzhi's answer was only a smile.

Bishop Salas's eyes shined with interest for an instant, but quickly returned to normal, not changing his bored front "Let's see what she is able to do."

...

"You're not too bad" Chenxiang said smiling "Let's see how you fare against my pet. Snap!" Chenxiang's third spirit ring shined as she snapped her fingers.

The Golden Roc over Chenxiang seemed to gain substances, becoming more tangible as it gained a golden glow.

"CRRRRRRRR" The Golden Roc shrieked as it launched towards Shrek's group.

"Avoid!" Tang San commanded, every integrate of Shrek jumping outside the Golden Roc's path. Even avoiding a direct hit, they couldn't evade the strong wind created by each flap of its wings, being thrown away, but avoiding a fatal injury.

"Watch out!" The only one unable to answer was Jiang Zhu. As support spirit master, her physical strength was the weakest, moreover, she had been busy healing Tai Long, making her unable to act in time.

"Boom!" The Golden Roc crashed over Jiang Zhu's position, stomping over the ground and destroying a quarter of the arena's floor before dispersing into light.

"Clap! Good evade" Chenxiang clapped, her gaze falling over Tang San's position who over his arms stood Jiang Zhu who had Silverblue Grass around her hips.

Tang San had shown his great control, using his spirit to take Jiang Zhu away from danger.

"Thanks" Jiang Zhu stand up on the floor, she lifted her sceptre, her third ring shining "Healing Area!" an aura surging from it and surrounding Shrek's team and even Chenxiang.

Zhu was unable to control and would even heal Chenxiang. However, in this case, where only her teammates had been injured by the attack, it was completely worthy, extending the area to its maximum.

"Encircle!" Tang San shouted, Bluesilver Grass shooting from him and wrapping around every other member of the team, controlling the formation and positioning everyone over Chenxiang.

"This seems funny!" Chenxiang's second ring shined, golden feathers started growing over her body, increasing her strength and speed.

"Attack!" Shrek's team charged.

The first one to reach her was Jing Ling with sharp exoesquelet armor covering him and his rings shining, increasing his speed and attack.

"Bang!" Jing Ling throw his claws, but they were only able to hit the ground, Chenxiang completely avoiding.

Seeing them approaching, Chenxiang confronted them calmly, for her they seemed to be moving at slow speed, clearly being able to grasp their movements.

"Bang!" "Boom!" More attacks came towards Chenxiang but she nimbily avoided all of them with a quick footwork and her wings.

Shrek tried to encircle her, but they were unable, Chenxiang showed her great speed progress, every time breaking through them while never attacking them.

It seemed that she was playing with them. Partly that was the truth, but Chenxiang's didn't attack them to make fun of them, she was using them to show her speed.

Before her evolution, she blamed her clan, all of them too scared to try something different, their spirit needing to go for speed. She tried to avoid that fate with all her effort, even ignoring completely the speed and focusing on strength, however, she had grown since then. She was proud of being part of the Speed Clan, she was proud of her speed and was going to show to the world how fast she could go, how powerful could be their spirit.

Haotian completely knew her intention and let her be, letting her have this match, becoming the perfect way to show off.

"Bang!" Chenxiang avoided Mubai's punch, lightly stepping to her side, preparing to kick the ground and jumping to the left where Shrek had left an opening, escaping once again from the encircling.

However, just as she was about to jump, Xiao Wu acted. Xiao Wu's third spirit ring shined, her body flashing and appearing just over Chenxiang, completely blocking the opening.

'Teleportation' Chenxiang was surprised, she didn't think they would be able to put that over, closing her escape.

'However...' she analyzed her surroundings, flapping her wings and shooting forwards, gracing over Mubai's side, almost being hit by him but escaping the encircle or that was what she thought.

Just after Mubai, being hidden behind him, a spider web shot towards her. Tang San's third spirit ring was shining as he pointed at her, she had been completely controlled by Tang San who had expected her movements, catching her.

"They caught me" Chenxiang sighed, seeing herself being completely surrounded with no way to escape. She looked at Tang San "You got me."

"Or not!" Just as the spider web made of grass was about to hit Chenxiang, Chenxiang's body flashed, completely disappearing from her position.

"Shunpo" Chenxiang whispered as she appeared just next to Jiang Zhu. Her understanding over space had grown immensely after absorbing the Myriad Form Space Trigram, unlike Haotian who had difficulties and was very limited by the distance, her control over space was far superior "Let's finish the game."

Jiang Zhu was unable to even turn her head, Chenxiang waved her right hand, slapping over Jiang Zhu, shooting her with a strong wind gale outside the arena, eliminating her from the match.

"Regroup!" Tang San quickly recovered from the shock, pulling everyone towards him. If their enemy was able to teleport around, and encircle was useless, only letting her the opportunity of easily disposing them one on one.

"Thanks for that" However, Tang San didn't account for Chenxiang's full strength who thanked him to group them together, making easier her work.

Chenxiang pushed her hands forward a wind orb forming over it, pointing at Shrek's group as her 4th spirit ring shined.

"WIND WRATH!" A powerful tornado shot towards Shrek, destroying all the floor over its path.

The attack strength and speed were formidable, making them unable to completely avoid it, causing Shrek to go full-on defense, using any means to defend, their spirit rings shining while Tang San used his grass to create a shield all around them.

Xiao Wu's third spirit ring shined again, trying to teleport behind Chenxiang, taking the opportunity to take care of her. After such a strong attack, she was bound to create an opening, however, she found Chenxiang's gaze fell under her, Chenxiang's brown eyes shining looking at her like prey.

"Buag!" Xiao Wu vomited a little blood, being unable to teleport at all while falling to the ground.

'You try to teleport in my presence, impudent!' The Golden Roc was considered the hunter and sovereign of the sky, having full control over wind and space, how could a little rabbit compare with her control, especially after eating the herb?

It was one thing the first time as Chenxiang really didn't expect a rabbit spirit to be able to teleport, but now. With her control over the space, it was too easy to close the space around Xiao Wu, keeping her away from teleporting.

Seeing Xiao Wu's falling, Shrek's team became scared as she would be unable to put any defense against the attack, finishing very badly if Chenxiang's attack were to hit.

"Shit!" Mubai was the one who stepped forward, his 4th spirit ring started shining as he prepared to make a punch forward, unleashing his 4th skill. However, he was stopped by Tang San's voice.

"We surrender!" Tang San declared. Looking at the situation and Xiao Wu's being injured, he knew that he would be unable to control, going all out at full strength. As his teacher had told, this wasn't the time to show their strength, having discovered Chenxiang's strengths and skills being enough.

Listening the surrender, the Spirit Douluo in charge of the match acted, jumping in front of Shrek's team, preparing to stop the attack.

"There's no need" Chenxiang waved her hands, opening them widely. Reacting to her, the Wind Wrath that was about to hit, completely scattered leaving only a small breeze over Shrek's team.

Such speed, strength, power and control left the audience shocked, completely silent.

"W-winner, Heaven Dou's Academy!" After 10 seconds, the referee was able to react announcing the result, causing the audience to react.

"WOOOOOAAAAAAWWWWW!" Claps and cheers flood the stadium. "Heaven Dou!" "Chenxiang!"

Chenxiang smiled, waving her hair as she turned towards Haotian "It was nothing."

The first match of the Continental Tournament finished with a complete victory of Heaven Dou Academy.
