58 Grandmaster's Training (Part 2/?).

Everyone's watching this is completely silent.

They all looked at this fight in amazement!

Everyone except Tang Ming is confused!

They are all very shocked to see Zhu Zhuqing almost defeating Tang San as even Dai Mubai lost to him quite miserably.

At this time Grandmaster stepped forward a little and looked at Zhu Zhuqing seriously, his eyes flickering :

"Good, very good!" He said as his expression became one of that when someone founds a treasure as he looked at Zhu Zhuqing.

Grandmaster can be said one of the person who knows Tang San best and he was quite shocked in his heart when he saw that Zhu Zhuqing almost defeated Tang San, his prized disciple. He can't help but admire Zhu Zhuqing patience and determination.

"Zhu Zhuqing, your last attack was fascinating. If Tang San hadn't evaded it, he would have lost for sure." Grandmaster again commented.

Tang San also looked at Zhu Zhuqing deeply as he can't help but remember the last strike she made. He now knew that he can't underestimate anyone, his image of Zhu Zhuqing was that of a person with cold and silent personality, if not for his Tang Sect's technique he would have definitely lost at her hand.

He immediately made a decision in his heart to practice more. Now he understood what Ming'ge said him once 'That there's always a higher sky'. He now understood why he always trains and cultivate so much.

Zhu Zhuqing didn't say anything. Instead the Grandmaster spoke again as he said while turning to everyone :

"This battle can be said to be an outstanding one. Simply put, in this whole battle Zhu Zhuqing's patience can be said to be very great and precise as she managed to make use of the carelessness Tang San showed to launch a surprise and lethal attack and that too one when he was sure of his win. You all should also learn to be patient and try to find the weakness of the opponent to strike precisely."

After the Grandmaster finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Zhuqing admirably. He didn't expect to find such an exceptional student with such qualities as it is rare for a spirit master to be so patient.

Everyone listened to the master quietly and also pondered about it.

Tang Ming who was on the side was also quite pleased with the way Zhu Zhuqing fought. He knew that she was very smart but just didn't show it outwardly. He just gave her a few pointers on how to use her attacks more stealthily and lethally.

He was also thinking of giving her a cultivation technique but decided against it for now. Even though it may seem that he was being cheap but he can't take any chances till he was sure that she won't betray him. He was going to wait and see till the continental spirit master tournament.

As he was thinking this while still gazing at her, she seemed to notice his gaze and looked at him. She didn't say anything but just nodded her head with a small smile at him.

He also nodded his head and then turned his head while looking like that he was contemplating something.

But in reality he was just pretending it as he didnt want to again lose his senses while looking at her. His heart was thumping very loudly. No matter what, he can't help as his heartbeat always sped up whenever he sees Zhuqing smiling. Even though he had planned from the moment he reincarnated in this world to make Zhu Zhuqing his and also make her love him, that was only because of her attraction to him. He had never thought for a moment that he would fall for her at first sight. But he did fall for her and that too the first time he saw her.

Maybe this is what is called 'love at first sight.' He slowly calmed himself down and took a long breath.

At this moment a voice made him come out of his thought.

"Wow, Zhuqing! You almost managed to defeat brother." Xiao Wu said.

Everyone was also praising her. Dai Mubai at this time was also looking at Zhu Zhuqing with complicated expression as he didn't know what to say.

He was defeated easily by Tang San, but she actually managed to almost win.

Zhu Zhuqing was also feeling a little down when she didn't managed to defeat Tang San but was also feeling quite happy as this was the first time in her life that she was praised so much. But she maintained her cold face and only smiled a little.

"Now, Mubai you will fight against Ma Hongjun and Oscar. And Tang San you will be fighting against Xiao Wu this time. Zhu Zhuqing you'll first recover your spirit power and then you'll fight against Ning Rongrong." Grandmaster said.

As master finished speaking, they all started their respective battle.

Grandmaster then came to the side of Tang Ming as he said while still looking at the ongoing battle :

"You should also prepare Tang Ming. You will be playing next when they all finish."

"????" Tang Ming. He blanked for a moment as he thought that he won't have to fight.

But he didn't say anything. And after a while it was over. Dai Mubai has lost against the combination of Ma Hongjun and Oscar as he had never fought against them in a team.

The fight between Tang San and Xiao Wu was a tie. When facing against Zhu Zhuqing, Tang San had kept his hand but when facing Xiao Wu, he was immediately charmed.

However he immediately came out of it as they both fought in close combat.

And in this match Xiao Wu also revealed her third spirit ring ability 'Teleport'. She can teleport immediately anywhere within a short range.

Tang San was caught off guard but nonetheless also used his third spirit ring ability to restrain her. At the end of the fight, they both looked very ambiguous as they both were intertwined on the ground in a very delicate position.

As they released each other and stood up, they both can see Ma Hongjun and Oscar giving them a thumbs up. While all the girls were blushing a little while keeping their head down.

After the fight everyone again gathered in front of Grandmaster.

The Grandmaster said in a deep voice :

"In these few battles, except for Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing, you all disappointed me."

"Dai Mubai, you know that Oscar is an auxiliary system spirit master. But why did instead of first eliminating an auxiliary system spirit master you fought against Ma Hongjun, giving Oscar the chance to give his sausage to Ma Hongjun?" Grandmaster harshly berated Dai Mubai. On the other side hearing this Ma Hongjun puffed up his chest as he looked at Dai Mubai's direction provokingly.

"And you Ma Hongjun and Oscar, you two also don't be proud. Ma Hongjun when you are fighting in a team with an auxiliary system spirit master, what should be your importance is to protect him and not letting your opponent easily approach him. But instead of protecting him, after getting sausages you rushed off to fight Dai Mubai?" Grandmaster immediately also berated Ma Hongjun seeing him acting proud.

"Tang San, do you know where you lost? In the first match with Zhu Zhuqing, because of the difference in spirit level you thought that you can easily defeat her and almost lost to Zhu Zhuqing clever attack. If you had immediately used your third spirit ring ability from the start, she would have lost immediately but you underestimated her and that led to your precocious situation."

"And in the fight against Xiao Wu, you were immediately charmed by her as soon as the fight started even though knowing about her ability. You were careless." Grandmaster explained slowly. Xiao Wu at the side was giggling as she put her tongue out and teased Tang San.

"Xiao Wu, your third spirit ability is 'Teleportation'. It can be said that you were the bane of Tang San but were caught in his Cobweb Binding. When you used Teleportation and immediately used your Waist Bow, why did you relax your vigilance?Giving Tang San a chance to use his third spirit ring ability." Grandmaster berated Xiao as he saw her making face and teasing Tang San.

"Only Zhu Zhuqing performance can be said to be excellent as she used her mind and made rational decision, giving her the chance to almost defeat someone who is one realms above her." Grandmaster once again praised Zhu Zhuqing. The teacher again said in a deep voice :

"You're a student of monster academy. You all should have been monsters but now looking at all of your situation, I can't say that you all fit the category to be called 'Monsters'. The only advantages you all have aginst the other spirit master is your inherently strong spirits. I bet you can't defeat those seasoned and experienced spirit master who have battled spirit beast for a long time."

Everyone heads was lowered in shame. They knew that what Grandmaster was saying was true and they can't say anything in response.

"As a punishment for today's mistakes, I've prepared a basket with stones for all seven of you. Originally I wanted you all to carry those basket in your backs and do ten laps in a row." Grandmaster said as his eyes be ame sharp as he continued, " But you all can escape this punishment, if you managed to do one thing."

Everyone ears immediately perked up as they looked at Grandmaster with curious gazes. Grandmaster looked at Tang Ming, who immediately felt that something was wrong but before he can even say anything, Grandmaster eyes flashed for a moment as he said :

"You all can avoid the punishment, only if, you all managed to defeat Tang Ming."

"Do you know why I listed Xiao Ming in heaven level yesterday? because he can easily fight someone above his realm and defeat him. Your goal is to be like him and to manage to defeat someone a realm above yourself. This should be all of your ultimate goal."

"....." Everyone.

"..." Tang Ming.

Everyone looked at Grandmaster with looks saying that 'Are you kidding!'

'Defeating that monster was not possible for any one of them.'

"Teacher, do we have to fight Ming'ge now? But none of us can beat Ming'ge and our spirit power is also exhausted right now?" Xiao Wu pouted.

Everyone else also nodded in agreement. Even though they were proud and won't admit defeat easily, but they know their limits. Fighting against Tang Ming who can fight against teacher Zhao Wuji evenly and even manage to injure Titan Giant Ape severely, don't talk about fighting as Tang Ming was already at a different level compared to them.

"Who said you are fighting individually? I mean you seven of working together to defeat him. Not one but all seven of you. This is the ultimate goal I set for you seven as a whole." Grandmaster said plainly.

Everyone interest immediately piqued. Though they knew they can't defeat him individually but if seven of them fight together, they still have a chance. Tang San had also became interested as he also can't defeat Tang Ming even after using all his hidden weapons.

Seeing everyone still silent. Grandmaster again spoke :

"Why, can't you all seven beat a single person at the same level as yourself?"

Everyone immediately straightened up and looked at Grandmaster with confidence.

"Then, after recovering your spirit power, the seven of you will be fighting against Tang Ming. If you win, the punishment will be exempted."

The Grandmaster then said lightly, "Moreover, Tang Ming won't use any of his spirit ring abilities. If you all forced him to use him spirit ring abilities, he'll lose."

All seven of their eyes opened wide, as they all felt that they all were a little underestimated except Tang San and Xiao Wu. They both have lost countless times against Ming'ge even when he didn't use any of his spirit abilities.

But the rest of them felt like a fire has been ignited in their hearts.

Do Grandmaster looked down on them too much?

Anyway, they are all seven monsters and if they can't even make Tang Ming use his spirit abilities, they should just stop cultivating.

Although every single one of them admired Tang Ming very much, even Dai Mubai who was the boss also admired him genuinely and even feared him a little, but they still have the confidence to defeat Tang Ming who wouldn't use any spirit ring abilities.

Moreover if they won, they would be exempted from the punishment.

This immediately made their fighting spirit soar which has almost been depleted.

"Defeat him? I don't believe that if we seven of us together can't defeat Tang Ming." Ma Hongjun walked out swaggeringly as he said, , "Brother Ming, it's not personal but don't blame me for not being polite later."
