Chapter 385: Counterattack Strategy, Tang San’s Miscalculation

Ultimately, it was better to be safe than sorry. If they ignored the potential threat from Tang San's Blue Silver Grass and ended up losing their talents, there'd be no remedy for that disaster.

Huo Wu quickly instructed her teammates, "Huo Chui and Huo Jun, stay behind me. I'll use my third spirit ability to keep Tang San's Blue Silver Grass away from us. I'm guessing Thunderclap Academy will attempt a swift attack, so they'll probably target me and our two support spirit masters."

Huo Wushuang chuckled at her prediction. "Sister, if that's their plan, they're in for a surprise. They're unaware of your third spirit ability. We'll let them get close on purpose, and when they least expect it, you'll activate your ability to counter them. After that, we'll focus our attacks on Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng, their main powerhouses."

Huo Wu smirked, sharing her brother's plan. Eliminating Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng would weaken Thunderclap Academy's frontline, making Tang San vulnerable.

On the platform, the announcer Dou Dou's voice resonated: "Let the match begin!"

As soon as Dou Dou's words faded, Tang San wrapped his Blue Silver Grass tightly around his teammates, supporting them as they launched their attacks. His Blue Silver Grass's fire resistance was insufficient, so he focused on observing the battlefield and adjusting his strategy.

"Little Ao, the sausages!" Tang San called to Oscar, positioned at the rear.

Oscar was prepared, quickly chanting his incantation.

"Third spirit ability, 'I Have a Mushroom Sausage!'"

With his current abilities, he could produce seven sausages in just one second.

Tang San's plan was simple: each teammate would eat a mushroom sausage at the start, enabling them to quickly reach Blazing Academy's side and eliminate their two support spirit masters.

Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng would spearhead the attack, while Lei Dong and other offensive teammates engaged Blazing Academy's other members.

Huo Wushuang's smile widened, pleased that the enemy had fallen into their trap.

Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng swiftly consumed the mushroom sausages, zooming in on Blazing Academy's backline from both sides.

Huo Wu gave a symbolic command, "Block them!"

Chaos erupted on the platform, with Huo Wushuang clashing against Lei Dong and the other members seemingly "blocked."

Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng quickly reached the back of the arena.

Tang San seized the moment, launching his fourth spirit ability, Blue Silver Prison.

With Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng so close to the two support spirit masters, Tang San acted to stop Huo Wu from interfering, using a third of his spirit power to bolster the strength of his Blue Silver Prison.

He thought, confident in his move, With this much spirit power, Huo Wu won't break free in an instant.

But as he looked up, he saw Huo Wu's enigmatic smile and felt a pang of unease. Why did she seem so calm?

Tang San's expression shifted as he yelled, "Wait! Tianxin, Tianheng, watch out!"

Huo Wu laughed. "Too late!"

"Third spirit ability: Repelling Fire Ring!"

With a bang, all non-Blazing Academy members were repelled and momentarily immobilized.

As Huo Wu's third spirit ability activated, Huo Wushuang and the others disengaged their opponents, surrounding Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng alongside the two support spirit masters.

Thunderclap Academy was stunned. What kind of spirit ability is this? It seemed almost unfair!

Yu Xiaogang hadn't anticipated Blazing Academy having such a skill, silently realizing that Tang San had miscalculated. The ease with which Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng had approached the rear guard was an intentional setup.

Thunderclap Academy was now in a crisis.

Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng, realizing their mistake, quickly activated their dragon transformations, boosting their attack and defense.

"You've hidden well, Huo Wu," Yu Tianxin acknowledged warily. "But don't count us out just yet. This battle isn't over!"

Huo Wu responded with a smirk, "Really? You think you two level forty-three Spirit Elders stand a chance? Or are you pinning your hopes on that level forty-five Blue Silver Grass Spirit Master?"

She sneered, taunting, "You're either naive or oblivious to the fact that plant spirits are easily countered by fire. Wasn't that Tang San's fourth spirit ability just now? Too weak—it crumbled against my third spirit ability! It doesn't matter how high his spirit power is when his spirit is merely Blue Silver Grass."

Huo Wu's taunt was more than just a jab at Yu Tianxin; she was baiting Tang San, hoping to trigger him. But despite his slightly sour expression, Tang San said nothing, quietly enduring the insult.

However, deep down, Tang San seethed. She dares to ridicule my Blue Silver Grass? She'll regret this. He silently vowed to ensnare Huo Wu and drain her spirit power and elemental attributes, regardless of the consequences.

It doesn't matter if people notice I'm using spirit power-draining abilities, he thought. As long as they don't realize it affects their elemental power, I'll be safe.

Tang San realized he couldn't rely solely on Blue Silver Grass to control Huo Wu. He would have to unleash the Clear Sky Hammer first to wear her down, making it easier for his Blue Silver Grass to contain her.

Though his Clear Sky Hammer lacked spirit rings, Tang San was equipped with the Clear Sky Clan's unique techniques.

Pouring enough spirit power into the hammer would make it heavy enough to destabilize her, and with the Clear Sky Clan's secret methods, he was confident of his chances.

His immediate priority, however, was to rescue Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng, who were surrounded by four Blazing Academy members and in serious danger.

"Lei Mie, Lei Tian, Lei Dong!" he called.

The three teammates nodded in understanding, unleashing their strongest attacks to break through and rescue their captain and vice-captain.
